HI there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !

Same here, thats why I waited. however I figured I should report it after a couple of days of getting it.

I've started converting to MP3 and I seem to have an artwork issue: Emby does not appear to be pulling any album cover-art. I figure I have some settings wrong and am looking for some tips hopefully. Here's details: -each new MP3 subfolder is an album -my metadata tags are good including all artist/album/year tags updated (no artwork imported during conversion) -if it matters, file name is usually the song name but subfolder name is a custom scheme -during song playback, a 'generic' artist background loads; in the web interface, this same generic background is shown for all songs/folders/albums; in the Roku app, album folders show no art -library settings: real-time monitoring on (have also manually scanned); all artist/album metadata providers on; all album/artist image fetchers on; save artwork into media folders on; download images in advance off -confirmed the emby system acct has read-write to the music-library share Since images don't download in advance, I wasn't sure if manual scans or meta-refreshes really did anything. Also, I'm not sure what kinds of files should get saved into the folders (jpg?). So those maybe some things, but if anyone spots a problem with these, let me know. Thanks.

The episode is a single item. The container for it is the series. The container above that is the collection. You already have this. Why can you not simply create a symbolic link to the tv series? And then containers within container? If you are worried about a circular reference just check the container cannot contain itself.

Alright thanks!

A specific track, no, but you can temporarily restrict user transcoding permissions to see what happens when it is forced to direct play. Just make sure to remember to undo it afterwards.

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

This is now being published to the emby plugin catalog. You can find the 'official' release there, without any of the beta timers. TBH this is my first emby plugin, and I am not entirely sure how long it will take to actually show up once I have published it. But it is on the way. I would recommend uninstalling the beta version from this thread before installing the published version.

If you decide to use 3rd party plugins you can accomplish using Home Screen Companion. After configuring the smart playlist you can create a dynamic media home section that uses the tag.

HI, I think @quickmicwill probably need kodi log files in order to debug this. Thanks.

HI, yes it is.

I do have most of these enables on my big library, so I think this does add up.

HI, currently you can't. We would have to add that feature.

I don't know about the next beta but it's on our list for review. Thanks.

I toyed around with the idea of pre-fetching the new url and using swapMediaItem() to reuse the same player instead of release() + createPlayer() but it opens up a whole can of worms with format/codec mismatches, especially when going from direct play to transcoding. I might see if I can get it working reliably for bitrate changes when transcoding is already occurring. Again not sure if the gains are worth the effort, like you said home connections are generally pretty stable.

In a TV environment, this will be much less of a problem than mobile. Home networks tend to be pretty stable in their bandwidth.

What settings do you have set on your libraries? Specifically what is set for the following options: "After the initial import, automatically refresh metadata from the internet" "Automatically refresh metadata for episodes with placeholder titles such as TBA" "Generate video preview thumbnails" "Generate intro video markets"

I've been noticing the same errors the last few days as well. Not sure if they've change something about their API, or if it was just getting different results because of my local MB mirror so I didn't get around to reporting it.

It's used for conversions/download jobs. You can change the path under Downloads -> Settings. Downloads is within the Devices section of the side bar (Devices, Downloads, Camera Upload).

I'm trying to create a Dynamic Media Home Section and filter it by parental rating. For example: - Shows - Genre: Comedy - Playstate: Unplayed - Parental Rating: TV-PG and TV-14 Parental Rating is available as a sort option, but not as a filter. Is there a native way to accomplish this without a third-party plugin? If not, why wasn't Parental Rating included as a basic Dynamic Media filter when the new Home Sections system was added?

Currently it will step up quality if the conditions improve for a sustained amount of time (currently 120s). Since Emby serves single-rendition URLs the only way to switch quality mid stream is to release the player and request the new MaxStreamingBitrate. This results in a momentary stop in playback (1-3 seconds) which is tolerable when going from playback that is buffering and unplayable to something that is playable. Having a stop in playback to increase the quality might not be as tolerable to users. I have limited testing against very unreliable connections but they goal would be to only release the player and re-request if absolutely necessary. If the step up can not be reliably implemented without causing decision loops I may end up removing it.

At 02:59:58, Emby starts the plugin task Refresh Recently Aired Episodes. Its EpMetaRefresh plugin then performs a broad metadata refresh because IncludeNoPrem is enabled. Between 03:00 and 03:02 alone, Emby generated: 644 metadata refreshes 642 ffprobe executions 3,063 subtitle-provider errors That is about 5.3 new ffprobe processes per second. The old 03:02 restart task then terminated Emby during the storm. It did not cause the storm, but it prevented proper completion and cleanup. Additional problems: EpMetaRefresh is an old version 1.0.0 from 2023. Its saved configuration says a two-day lookback, but the running task reported five days, suggesting it is not applying its settings reliably. The task is allowed to run for four hours. The plugin refresh also triggers large numbers of subtitle searches and errors.

Thinking of an AI Emby Server running on Omarchy and have AI fully run my Emby Server including specific cover art to specific backdrops css & generate plugins & test out what works and doesn't work. So think I will order this today https://www.amazon.ca/ACEMAGIC-M1A-PRO-LPDDR5X-8000MHz/dp/B0HFR9ZKL4/ref=sr_1_11?crid=B81XVRLTAG0L&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Y8bBIwV5ykfJ9dlD8YxSQCjxHzy2_LrDpBpGnAtvIn4LojiLVPQlrNYjR3bd_3gxqnni-w7LM1K2JTCs-ztKpC8WQWsHicq9QVjVGIbamyk-3t5L2jI3Xc5WvaUDYIYcM0qUidRDmPwEDAHkBMj_RReqJYzJfw8uLbWnNIzy1TeWxUM_HhmtF22o3_-6Y_2FfuWHGuxiTYUVt5HhWZk2SqDRrxdI6q6KZ8DQQ2qzUU4WGm95Jr3d2usS1G9oseVao5E_DhqO989hHekIiPxY0CmTRb8e2QKs2k5-lFeH0Bs._Hyn-AvrYqEsn47RJq82z6l_cesTXDd-9bTeqpoQu2I&dib_tag=se&keywords=PC+128gigs+ram+AI+pc&qid=1790615275&sprefix=pc+128gigs+ram+ai+pc%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-11 I'm going to put it on a Vlan with a few Fire Sticks and test it out & learn more on plugins I can make for Emby hopefully I can build some useful stuff without this AI going rogue on me. Has anyone here have success with letting AI control anything you have that runs online ? Intel may be better hrmm
