WHile I couldnt find a solution on my own, I was able to do the following. Added a method to get the latest movie or episode added. Note, If you need it to work for music as well, just add that to the IncludeItemTypes public BaseItem? GetLastMovieOrEpisodeAdded() { var query = new InternalItemsQuery { IsFolder = false, OrderBy = new[] { new ValueTuple<string, SortOrder>( ItemSortBy.DateCreated, SortOrder.Descending ) }, IsVirtualItem = false, IncludeItemTypes = new[] { "Movie", "Episode" }, Recursive = true, Limit = 50 }; var items = _embyInterfaces!._libraryManager!.GetItemList( query ); foreach( var item in items ) { if( item.DateCreated.DateTime == DateTime.MinValue ) continue; return item; } return null; } Note, I get more than 1, purely because I want to make sure DateCreated is valid, I am convinced this is 100% unnecessary but I have no proof. When my task runs, I store the DateCreated of the last item added in my plugin's database. When the task gets run after the media scan, it compares the stored last item added date with the current one. If the library returns a more recent date, it runs the analysis (which updates the database). If not, it ends, since no analysis is necessary for the plugin.

There is an open issue for this and there was an attempt to fix it but the issue remains.

You could revert it if you want, it's not needed after installation, but saying that, it is always enabled on 7, 10 11 etc, so it poses no issues. Server just has tighter security enabled out of the box. I don't know if ongoing server updates use the same download process in the background though, Luke might want to weigh in on that.

What plugins are you using?

Yes, volume1 is the main nas volume running on the 4 internal drives, everything is on there.

Is it possible to move this to another thread? I feel like things have gotten a bit off the rails here. I'm using a Roku, not an Amazon fire stick. And my issue is pretty straightforward. No second devices involved, no other complications.

When a task is called after the scan has finished, is there anyway to tell what changed in the last scan? For each library, were items added/removed? Is there access to this data anywhere?

OK - Reporting back. I have stopped my normal process of having a management tab open in my safari browser all the time. That was Tuesday morning. Its now Thursday morning and under 4GB ram usage. I suspect its still early days yet, but I will report back next week. I assume if this is the issue, it will be fixed in a later release ?

Thanks Luke.

Hi everyone, I’m sharing ThemeFetcher - Farshad, an Emby Server plugin that fetches missing theme music for movies and TV series. The DLL is attached to this post. This is an initial community release, and feedback is welcome. What it does Saves the finished audio as theme.mp3 in the movie or series folder. Preserves existing themes, including other supported audio formats and files in theme-music. Provides configurable duration, batch limits, retry intervals and provider options. Runs through Emby’s Scheduled Tasks, with progress and results in the server log. Theme sources ThemerrDB: TMDB IDs, with an IMDb fallback for movies. Plex TV themes: TV series with TVDB IDs. TelevisionTunes: optional title search for TV series. Internet Archive: optional search for matching theme tracks. Local audio extraction: optional last fallback that extracts an audio excerpt from the media file. This may contain dialogue rather than the actual theme. ThemerrDB and Plex are enabled by default. The other options are disabled by default. Required tools Install these on the machine running Emby Server. They are not included in the attached DLL. FFmpeg, with the libmp3lame encoder — required to convert audio to MP3. https://ffmpeg.org/download.html yt-dlp — required for ThemerrDB’s YouTube downloads. Use a current official standalone executable. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases Deno — used by yt-dlp for YouTube’s JavaScript challenges. https://docs.deno.com/runtime/getting_started/installation/ Official standalone yt-dlp executables include the EJS scripts. Other installation methods may require additional setup: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/EJS Installation Stop Emby Server completely. Copy the attached MediaBrowser.Plugins.ThemeFetcher.dll directly into Emby’s actual plugins directory. Find the server’s program data path in its startup log. If updating, replace the previous DLL. Keep only one installed copy. Start Emby Server. Open Dashboard → Plugins → Installed Plugins → ThemeFetcher - Farshad → Settings. This is a manual installation; it will appear under Installed Plugins rather than the plugin catalog. Configure and run Replace the prefilled executable paths with the actual paths on your server. Example Windows paths: yt-dlp: C:\Tools\yt-dlp.exe Deno: C:\Tools\deno.exe FFmpeg: C:\Tools\ffmpeg.exe The account running Emby must be able to execute these tools and write to your media folders. Docker users need tools and paths accessible inside the container. Select your providers and click Save. Then open: Dashboard → Scheduled Tasks → ThemeFetcher - Farshad → Fetch movie and series themes Start with a small batch, such as 20 attempts, and inspect the results before processing your entire library. The default limit is 100; setting the limit to 0 allows unlimited attempts. After themes are saved, run an Emby library scan. Theme playback also depends on your client and its playback settings. Defaults and limitations The default maximum theme length is 45 seconds. Missing themes normally have a 7-day retry interval, while failed attempts have a 1-hour retry interval. No automatic schedule is installed; you can add a trigger in Scheduled Tasks. Movies should have a separate folder for each title. Shared folders containing different movies are skipped. Not every title has an available theme. Deleted YouTube videos, access restrictions and limited provider coverage can prevent downloads. Internet Archive matches should be previewed, especially for titles with remakes or similar names. Retry and run-summary files are stored centrally in Emby’s data directory, outside the media folders. Testing and feedback Built against Emby SDK 4.8.11, targeting .NET Standard 2.0. Earlier builds successfully downloaded and saved themes on my Windows server. Version 1.0.4 passes local checks, but compatibility across all Emby versions and platforms has not been verified. The current build includes a fix so unavailable individual YouTube videos do not disable ThemerrDB downloads for other titles. If you encounter an issue, please include your Emby Server version, operating system, enabled providers and relevant [ThemeFetcher] log lines. Remove access tokens and other private information before sharing logs. Thanks for trying it! Farshad MediaBrowser.Plugins.ThemeFetcher.dll

Would have been quicker just to install from the store even with a temp internet connection.. Your server needs access anyway for updates, coverart and more.

@matsushita - Wor, that's great. Thanks a lot for your contribution. Same to all other contributors, you are awesome!

Hi, I’m happy to report that the Japanese translation on Emby Translate is now 100% complete for all currently available components. Over the past several days, I reviewed and updated the Japanese translations across: - EmbyApps - Emby.Client - EmbyServer - Shared / UIEssentials - Shared / Terminology This included not only filling untranslated strings, but also reviewing existing translations for consistency, terminology, placeholders, UI wording, and technical context. I also completed the Japanese AlexaCommands translation. Since AlexaCommands is not a normal UI resource, I treated it as a Japanese interaction model rather than doing a literal translation of the English utterances. The sentence order, particles, spoken expressions, and device-name pronunciations were adjusted for natural Japanese speech while keeping all internal keys, slots, AMAZON.* identifiers, placeholders, and invocationName unchanged. The Shared terminology glossary was also reviewed and aligned with the completed Japanese UI, so future translations should have a more consistent terminology base. At this point, Emby Translate shows Japanese as fully translated across all currently exposed components. There are still a few source-side items I would appreciate confirmation on: 1. Core subtitle font size The description says the valid range is 5–50, while the validation range appears to allow 5–80. 2. Core subtitle margin The description says 1–200, while the validation range appears to allow 0–200. 3. Closed-caption standard One source string refers to “EIA-607/EIA-708”. Is “EIA-607” intentional, or should this be “EIA-608”? 4. Alexa invocation name The Japanese AlexaCommands model currently keeps: `m. b. home` unchanged, consistent with the source and other locales. Please let me know if a different invocation name is expected for ja-JP. Everything else on the Japanese side is now translated and reviewed. Thank you for providing access to the translation system and for the additional contributor permissions. Best regards,

Ok

If you just want to do it to resolve this specific issue then it's probably just worth waiting for the fix. The https option was just a work around in case you already had https configured.

Just the Emby app on the FireStick. It's resolved in v0.1.5 which should come fairly quickly to the store

Might look into it again then, thanks! Now PCs just need to have the HDMI-CEC issue solved.

Is this required to stay enabled, or can we revert after the install? Anyone know?

Hi, we’ll take a look at this. Thanks.

Are those volumes on the nas?

Thanks for the update. Just remember that once you customize it, you’ll also need to remember to keep it up to date if it ever changes, that’s why it should only be a last resort.

I forgot to mention, the app called Hi-Res Radio is an example of how the Emby app should support the feature, with a toggle in settings that can be turned ON and OFF only if the phone has support, for phones without support the option remains disabled or grayed out.

Also what software created the mkv? If the file has missing or incomplete header information then this can cause the player to have to fetch more of it before it will start playing. And that can vary per player depending on the way that it’s built, so the fact that you’re only seeing it on Roku doesn’t rule that out.
