Tested auto tag using a local collection and it is working very well. Thank you.

I’m currently running Emby on an AlmaLinux 9 VM in Proxmox, installed using the CentOS RPM. Problem: Hardware acceleration/transcoding is not actually being used. During transcodes, CPU usage hits 100% across all cores, there is no GPU utilization, and there is no “hardware” icon beside the transcoding stream (as shown in my screenshots). Emby does recognize the GPU, at least I'd think so with Emby displaying the GPU name under "Transcoding" in the settings menu. A Plex instance on the same physical server performs proper hardware acceleration (Plex is deployed bare metal, like Emby), so the GPU drivers should be installed and working correctly. Emby settings are configured as follows: Preferred Hardware Decoders are all set to VAAPI, and Preferred Hardware Encoders are set to QuickSync (the only available option). Software tone mapping is disabled. Hardware Accelerated Tone Mapping is enabled. Intel QuickSync tone mapping is disabled, and VAAPI tone mapping is set to VAAPI HW Tone Mapping. Hardware and versions: Emby version is 4.9.3.0, also tried with the latest "official" RPM, version 4.9.1.90-1 GPU is a SPARKLE Intel Arc A310 ECO. Permissions and setup: User/group and device permissions look like this: [kabs@plex01 ~]$ id emby uid=985(emby) gid=986(emby) groups=986(emby),39(video),998(render) [kabs@plex01 ~]$ ls -la /dev/dri total 0 drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 120 Feb 19 23:14 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 3360 Feb 19 23:14 .. drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 100 Feb 20 07:08 by-path crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 226, 0 Feb 19 23:13 card0 crwxrwxrwx 1 root video 226, 1 Feb 20 07:08 card1 crwxrwxrwx 1 root render 226, 128 Feb 19 23:14 renderD128 Systemd service configuration: [kabs@plex01 ~]$ systemctl cat emby-server /usr/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service [Unit] Description=Emby Server is a personal media server with apps on just about every device After=network.target [Service] EnvironmentFile=/etc/emby-server.conf WorkingDirectory=/opt/emby-server ExecStart=/opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server RestartForceExitStatus=3 User=emby [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/emby-server.service.d/override.conf [Service] User=emby Group=emby The GPU is passed through to the VM.

Thank you, sir!

I've been trying to get Music Videos going but I'm running into an issue with (at least imvdb) where identification is successful, but most data is missing. My file "Caravan Palace - Moonshine.mp4" with artist "Caravan Palace" and title "Moonshine" is correctly identified as imvdb id 103953927269 (https://imvdb.com/video/caravan-palace/suzy). A lot of fields however are still empty, like artist, are empty which makes the "Artist" tab on the Music Video library kind of redundant. Is there a reason why fields like artist aren't added/updated after identification / refreshing metadata?

Yeah I figured as much. Kind of suprising because other platforms (obviously the big ones like YT and Spotify) didn't have this issue for me. Perhaps they implemented a workaround?

They do have one, but unfortunately it’s accessible to subscribers only. Checking those on your list just now: Sky Sports Cricket: 405 Sky Sports Golf: 406 Sky Sports F1: 407 Sky Sports Tennis: 408 Sky Sports Action: 412 Sky Sports Arena: Does not exist, but I have Sky Sports+ on 404 TNT Sports 3: 413 TNT Sports 4: 414 Racing TV: 424 TNT Sports Ultimate: I don’t have this on the EPG I’m afraid

Hi, not yet, sorry.

Right now that repo is new and a little bit of an experiment. I'm sure we'll get it updated.

This one. Emby Package Repository | Emby Documentation

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

Hi, what repo do you mean?

What recording isn't showing up?

The stable server version in the repo is now 4.9.1.90 while version 4.9.3 was released over a month ago. Is the repo not updated frequently?

I've been experimenting with Kodi for a few weeks. I'm running E4KNG (latest release) on CoreELEC. Is there a trick to get Emby "Sort by Names" to take on Kodi? A few examples... Star Trek OG Boxset sorts as I've set it in Emby. But in Kodi, it's last after the Alternate Universe and The Next Gen. Then there's issues within the Boxsets themselves. I have Rogue One and Solo first before Ep.I. But in Kodi, it insists on sorting by chronological order (ie Ep.IV is first). Same with Superman (Richard Donner SM II version is last). Sure its easy to go into each Boxset and change them in Kodi manually. But thats a pain when I have 5 devices and multiple profiles on each. Not to mention all of my family who I will get to move to Emby for Kodi. I've reset my local database, uninstalled E4KNG and everything. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Thanks!

I find that the folder names are not clean (ie. 4K-A+ - before the show name) despite the clean option being enabled. If I change the server URL various check boxes become unchecked, if i check them again it gives me an error of 'failed to save configuration'. The dashboard also says 'Xtream: Not configured' despite the fact I was able to sync after I changed the server URL

This is awesome.. Why is this not in the Emby catalog of plugin:s?

thx @alex77777 yes they are all up to date to latest (i only moved to emby from plex this week). also tried rebooting and wifi vs LAN and all result in the same freezes

And sometimes the animation won't show at all, like if you browse out then back.

Yeah, I hate this so much. Because of this and the new folder view, I downgraded to 4.8.11. I don’t understand why Emby keeps messing with the way things used to work.

Having a heck of a time getting Emby running on a DXP2800. I installed Emby (the Linux edition) without using Docker. I have been able to create libraries under a main "Media" shared folder. Emby seems unable to get file permission to access any of these files. It makes no difference whether I have transcoding on or not. I get the "No compatible streams available" error code. For instance, when trying to play the 2 Guns.mkv file the log says "/volume2/Media/Movies/2 Guns/2Guns.mkv: Permission denied". All the users have read/write access to the Media folder and all subfolders and files from with ugos. All the existing users are in a group I created and the group has all the permissions to read/write as well. Still, no joy getting it to play or get any new metadata. I no longer know what else to do. The files and folders themselves when listed on Linux show the file owner to be one of my administrators and the group to be the one I created in ugos. They have 777 permissions. What am I missing here? Is there something special I must do when creating an Emby user from within Emby?

Yes, that gave sound with (software decode) in nerd info instead of (direct)

Stream #0:1[0x101]: Audio: aac (HE-AAC) ([15][0][0][0] / 0x000F), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 96 kb/s, Start-Time 1.400s It's that Audio issue I need help with @LukeLook at the Roku issue tracker for #1756 and need some help there from you. Thanks. It is the AAC "Main" codec using an ADTS stream. https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php/Understanding_AAC Maybe it is Ffmpeg/Ffprobe that needs help understanding how to read it correctly and stop reporting it incorrectly as HE-AAC?

I would check to make sure your emby app and TVos is up to date. I have a feeling that its some type of network related issue. Either a bad connection or maybe router/modem need to be restarted. Ive had issue with an LG TV in the past similar to how your having issues and all I had to do was restart the router to reestablish a connection. Ive had countless issues with Xfinity routers/modems, they seem to randomly cap the internal network speed randomly and you have to restart it (so if you have one of those it can be the problem). If your devices are wired I would suggest unplugging the ethernet from them, waiting 30 seconds and plugging it back in.

Hi - I'm having issues getting any play back to work with the emby app for Nvidia shield. I have tried both app emby and emby for Android TV. My emby works fine from my phone and or laptop. I get the premiere device limit exceeded. Please contact your emby system administrator. I cannot pay to unlock the app anymore, there is no option. Can anyone help me out to get the app to work on the shield? Thanks!

Assuming CoverArt hasn't changed since last i used it. EmbyIcons allows for more customizations for where and how the overlays should be shown. Overlays for TV shows, like showing for example german subtitles if all episodes in a TV show has those subtitles. Also gives more icons types and is more customizable. CoverArt is an absolute great plugin and is very close to install and just use. EmbyIcons requires a bit of tinkering after install as it's settings and possibilities are more comprehensive. Please note: While EmbyIcons doesn't require a huge CPU or anything like that it still requires a fairly modern CPU if enabling all features.
