Then let me explain. Im a stickler for my library setup when it comes to visual metadata, so i have come to the solution that there are only a few Emby plugins that i feel can add to this, @yockerEmbyIcons is one example of a plugin that i find AWESOME when it comes to this and that i always use. I use solutions outside of Emby, often in Docker, beacause they offer options that Emby and/or plugins cant, these are for example Posterizarr and TCM (pics attached of examples) first and foremost and for scraping i use Mediaelch and TMM beacause they offer both a large degree of manual control of what to scrape and the use of overlays that i can create and control on season posters, posters, titlecards etc.. I do feel that Emby Metadata scraping is somewhat flaky and some settings, once made, for some reason gets reversed and i havent figured out why, the "padlock" function is one example. Thats no diss towards Emby as a mediaserver, i pay, and keep paying, for the service for a reason but when it comes to this part i just like to be in 100% control and limiting Emby to basically reading NFO files for correct metadata so these services can do what they do is a solution that suits me, thats all, and Emby gives me the option of implementing these services. A couple of years of daily use has landed me there. Hope that cleared it up. /N.

New Emby server Beta release, v4.10.0.20.

Windows Server 2019 Essentials

Hi, what version of windows are you on?

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Is this option available yet? or any update ? infuse can also do direct play av1 from same emby server with no hardware support.

I think people need to be more transparent on full hardware specs. Clearly you aren't using 50 of those drives SN850x to get to your storages capacity. If you are just saying the db location matters... Maybe it doesn't. My db is on a single nvme enterprise drive. VR000480KXLXF at any rate a nvme with a db should be plenty fast to not crash like people say it is. my point is people need to give 100% specs to ther sys who have this issue. ------------------ the zero response from emby in the last month is garbage.

Me and my 2TB SN850x are definitely triggered.... No but honestly it's been really hard to nail down a correlation between the Emby instance and if the person is having this issue. Either things are perfect, or their server melts down on every search. If anything, the content type might be a possible hint. I don't think movies/shows have nearly as many tags to index/search compared to music. In my case I have ~2 million songs that are all run through MusicBrainz, so a single track can have a bunch of performer/composer/artist tags to read and index. My library size is barely double yours, but my database size is 8x.

I agree and it's the reason I got more hard drives while some people like newsgroups I like to copy 4k discs to my computer even though the file size is big the quality is good and emby plays them perfectly. I think eventually they may stop making dvd's but I hope they don't.

Dev's will need logs.

Subtitles have stopped working on the Emby app for my Shield Pro with Emby server. When I toggle them on, the movie stretches vertically, gets stuck loading for 10 seconds, and then force backs out of the movie. Sometimes the server shuts down after this. I have tested multiple movies and they all do this. The subtitles are working fine when using JustPlayer and on Emby from my phone and PC. I have tried reinstalling the Emby app, clearing cache, confirming permissions allowed. One thing I have not yet done is reinstall the server. Any ideas on how I can fix this would be very helpful. Also wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Thanks.

I don't wish to nitpick, but while DVD's should be dead, you really can't beat a 4K disc.

i have 40 TB and no slowdowns, but mostly shows and movies. hardware raid with ssds. from what i see is most issues seems to be slow storage. software raid ect. sorry this will trigger some.. but i havent see one user with super fast storage yet complain.

Добрый день! Не могу установить Emby Server. Подскажите, пожалуйста, где копать. VPN не помогает. install.log

Hi, @Luke No. It just stays on a screen with a "next episode" button indefinitely. I attached a screenshot

Thanks for the info

It looks to me that the soundbar supports 4K 120hz, HDR10+ and all the sound formats. So you should be ready for a Nvidia Shield (IMO get the Nvidia Shield Pro 2019). Getting the best movie viewing experience is sadly never neither cheap nor easy. The industry has it down to a science to squeeze every penny out of you for every little upgrade or extra feature you want.

Yes my HW-Q990c has eARC and 2 x HDMI Ports. I believe this soundbar supports most formats - do I need to check that also? Again I dont want to waste money

You would also need to make sure the soundbar supports passing 4K HDR/DV in that setup (it looks like that soundbar does that). Mine only does 1080p but I have the shield hooked up to the TV and the soundbar to the eARC port and it passes all the formats, except unfortunately LG no longer passes DTS with the 2025+ models. However the Shield will automatically convert it on output, so it's still direct playing and not transcoded by the server. TrueHD passes through fine.

Yes. Nvidia Shield -> Soundbar -> TV. Assuming that your soundbar has HDMI in ports and not just a single (E)Arc port. If the soundbar only has an (E)Arc port you might be out of luck as the Samsung TV most likely won't pass through many formats like 7.1, TrueHD and others.

Yes it should sync the watched status, Do you use the same Emby account on both devices?

Hello all, I assisted a friend of mine who was having what I believe to be the same issues as this one. When he would do any type of search on any platform that has multiple words it would take 10+ seconds. Using the quotations helped; but, you cannot do this with the voice input for the TV app. I had him enable debug logging and I reviewed the embyserver.txt log file. I saw SQL queries that matched the time spend on the search. Along with neighboring lines including the search terms. When searching with just a single word, the queries in the log file looked different that the multi-word queries. I thought that maybe the Emby server was interpreting these words as tags and aggressively checking the database. This still may be the case with a single word; but, I do not have any experience with Emby to know for sure. I used DB Browser for SQLite to run this query manually on the library.db to isolate the issue to the database and not the Client/Server. The queries in the log file use the alias @SearchTerm instead of the actual search terms. I replaced @SearchTerm in the query with the search string/term (in quotes) used on the Client end. Example: 'wall street' for the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street". Once confirmed that the slowness was isolated to the DB, I checked for the existence of indexes in the database. See query below. After reviewing the indexes in the database and the queries found in the server log, I decided to create two new indexes. Before making any changes to the database we backed up the server and shut it down. Using DB Browser for SQLite, I ran the below commands to add the new indexes to the database. I wrote the changes and close the database when done. This seemed to improve performance 3 to 10 time over previous examples. Please feel free to give this a try yourself. Do not attempt this if any of this does not make sense. In theory this should not affect the Emby server at all; but, I cannot confirm that. I also cannot confirm that any updates to the Emby server will not change this back, or cause any conflicts with any future updates. I hope this is of some assistance. I am not going to be monitoring this post. Review of indexes: SELECT name, tbl_name, sql FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = 'index' ORDER BY tbl_name, name; Index one: CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idxItemLinks2_ItemId_Type_LinkedId ON ItemLinks2 (ItemId, Type, LinkedId); Index two: CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idxAncestorIds2_ItemId_Distance_AncestorId ON AncestorIds2 (ItemId, Distance, AncestorId);
