Can you try it again and then produce a log file?

They are joining on the series tvdb id.

I have managed to get the series to show again… I had to turn off the library option of "Automatically merge series that are spread across multiple folders". the only series with remotely the same name are: top gear and top gear - ambitious by rubbish However, they were merged as the second one was displayed but not with the first one showing within it. Also, the folder view should not have them merged from my understanding and library setting. @Lukecan you tell me what the library is matching when that option is on so I can dig deeper? This was never an issue since 2019…lol…but something changes the behaviour in the last month or so I believe. I have disabled that library option in all my libraries for now. Thanks

Hi Luke, It seems Emby Server only keeps a few days worth of logs, so I do not have the logs from when this happened. Is there any additional info I can provide like IP, ports, etc. via DM that would help? I can also create an Emby Connect user for you on the server to test if that would help.

Hi there, can you show us how you've setup port forwarding? Connecting from Client Apps

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. Somebody could create an external plugin that references the movie, tv show and then create a virtual file structure for it. So collections can be made and then collections within collections.

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.
