All Activity

There's nothing to show beside the screensaver showing my photo.

It lets you do this because you might set the second one up at a different quality than the first. We'll probably need a log from the app to see why the second one is not getting downloaded.

Add an option to do what? Using iptv wont' matter until you actually try to play.

I mean both, but the request is mainly referred to partially watched it at some point but haven't finished. Before to create the request I have been checking the forum, to see if someone asked for the same and avoid duplicities. I have found information about a plugin for detecting active streamings, but nothing related to this request, although I did not a deep search. Thanks!

I haven't done intro or credit detection since the original third-party plugin. There's the built-in option, and then a few others I've seen pop up recently. What's the best option? I do have a few series where there are multiple intros in a given season (a short one and a long one, depending on the episode); is there anything out there that handles that? I assume there is still nothing that has the thumbnail viewing options for editing that the original plugin had? Detection was sometimes a bit off and that was super helpful in picking up errors.

Good to hear that!

Do you mean actively watching it or have, perhaps, partially watched it at some point but haven't finished?

@rockinyp@LukeThanks for following up! Yes. I'm running the latest server version (4.9.5.0) and it's still an issue. It happens pretty much every time transcription is involved. Please see the attached log file. ffmpeg-transcode-acadc158-b3af-4373-85ae-2a490ac45b9d_1.txt

Hardware. Your TV does not have an opus decoder. That's because, prior to recent versions, the TV app was using an embedded ffmpeg to decode it in software on-device. We can no longer do that in this app so have to run it through the server when the hardware doesn't directly support it. The standard app can still use ffmpeg to decode in software.

Just download the same movie twice on a single device. It's trivial to reproduce. A specific example is shown below.

Thanks Luke. This is only based on my personal experience. Some times, after to finish a movie or TV show, I use the delete function in the client, if I am not interested in keeping a copy in the library. But I don't like to do it if one o some of the users are watching it. And I have to check it manually, or at least I do not know if there is other way to do it. Fortunately I only have a couple of users in my server. Regards.

Worked for me!

Updated to 3.8.10.0 and the connection to Trakt is working

I am currently running emby server on a Windows 11 computer. I'm using version 4.9.5.0. Each time I try to download music files to a device, the server goes through the motion of converting the files, transferring them, then immediately deleting the files it transferred. Attached are the logs from my server and a few of the transcoding logs as well. embyserver(1).txt ffmpeg-transcode-8ec47016-a752-4331-b5c5-70037a0241b6_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-5c0f2d5f-faad-422e-806a-842e0288ddc1_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-db2a3564-4f4f-49cf-a034-41b25f876939_1.txt

Thank you! Worked fine on one of my servers; will test on the other later today.

Done

@TeamBI just installed the new intro/credits backup plugin, and was finally able to restore all the intros I lost a year or so ago when I went through and renamed all my files. I checked the Intro Summary tab on ChapterAPI to get an overview of where things were at, and saw several seasons with intros for only one episode. Given how intro detection works, that makes no sense. So I went through and found one, and went looking for what exactly was going on: So it appears that if the intro is at the very start of the episode, it doesn't register as an intro for the purposes of the Intro Summary tab.

This happened to me last Christmas and I thought I was going mad. In my experience, Emby does need a permanent internet connection to function 100%, some items such as actor bio's are not downloaded in advance like artwork and there is no setting to allow so. If your using IPTV it will cause major issues with a patchy connection, I simply turned off IPTV and avoided anything that needed the internet and problem solved. Initially I had lagging menus when browsing, nothing that would need the internet but failing background tasks were obviously causing problems. @Lukecan this option be added? some items such as actor bio's are not downloaded in advance like artwork and there is no setting to allow so

I don't know if a space is needed or not; I have it written with a space in the config. The server detects everything correctly.

Please try updating the plugin to 3.8.10.0. Thanks.

With a space between $APP_DATA_DIR to /Volume1/Emby?

Okay it would be helpful if everyone sent this to TerraMaster support so they get on it. support@terra-master.com

I've been using a smart playlist I call "Popular this week" that is filtering by 'Last played' by 'Any user's '<=' '7' It works pretty good for the most part but it registered manually marking an item as played as being watched. So if a user goes through their library and marks a bunch of stuff as watched it gets picked up by the smart playlist. I was trying to thing of ways to avoid these false plays and realized there isn't really a good way to track playback duration natively in Emby. There is the playback reporting plugin that tracks that information and it's db can be interacted with via an API. To retrieve item playback activity from the Playback Reporting plugin, send a POST request to the plugin's reporting query endpoint. The plugin uses an underlying SQLite database table named PlaybackActivity. You can pass a standard SQLite statement in the CustomQuery payload. Any example using my "Popular this week" format would look like: HTTP Request: POST /emby/Plugins/PlaybackReporting/Report/Query?api_key={ApiKey} Content-Type: application/json Payload: { "CustomQuery": "SELECT DISTINCT ItemId FROM PlaybackActivity WHERE DateCreated >= datetime('now', '-7 days')" } Response: (example) { "Columns": ["ItemId"], "Results": [ ["123456"], ["789012"], ["345678"] ] } Once can also create a custom query within the Playback Reporting Plugin and send a HTTP request to run the saved query. For example: POST /emby/Plugins/PlaybackReporting/Report/Query?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE HTTP/1.1 Host: http://localhost:8096 Content-Type: application/json { "ReportName": "popular this week" } @soderlund I know it is a pretty niche case but would it be possible to implement something like this? I could see there being other use cases for polling the Playback Reporting Plugin too.

I think it's TOS because when I updated TOS to the latest version (last week), I edited the config file again.

Is this a Emby issue or TOS 7 issue? @gluk147@Luke I will note there is a new TOS 7 update out today that mentions library scanning fixes for Emby but no mention of a fix for this issue.
