Post a server log.

Yeah I can't add m3u files either. Everything I type goes backwards. So weird.

great. Thanks for the feedback For excessive memory usage investigations, I normally would use a script to record memory usage by Emby Server every second and have it running covering time from launch until when the issue arises and also to have debug logging enabled on emby server and have all the embyserver log files (embyserver.txt + embyserver-xxxxxx.txt) covering whole time from launch time up to time of the issue being noticed It is known that frequent periodic scanning/refreshing with large libraries can cause memory to climb if the frequency is such that the tasks get run before memory gets released from earlier tasks and this is being looked into. Until this is addressed, the advice is not to have frequent "Scan Media Library" scheduled task run when there are large libraries. Observation from your log: - you have lots of Trakt errors - some being linked to account limits being hit. - some exceptions logged by Simkl Scrobbler which is the Simkl TV Tracker plugin

I tried MediaPortal before switching to Emby. Only thing MediaPortal could do that Emby can't is tune FM radio stations. MediaPortal being chained to the Windows Media Center and DLNA ecosystem made it impractical when the decision was made to cut the proverbial cable.

Late to the conversation but everything I've seen in TVs has been trash compared to the NVIDIA SHIELD TV. It's obvious the TV's have very anemic processors and GPUs in them because they lag frequently doing basic animations. No such performance issues with the SHIELD. On to top of that, SHIELD has native support for MPEG2 so no transcode is required when streaming from like an HDHR. TVs choke trying to decode MPEG2. As ebr said, choose TV based on picture and especially sound quality (some TVs have the tinniest of laptop speakers). Ignore the "smart" component of it entirely. Buy "smart" capability separately. I'm still using SHIELDs I bought a decade ago.

I am afraid that this will need to stay as the circumvention for the problem. Gracenote have responded that 9.10 WCGZ-LD1 is out of scope for their lineups - which would be the case when the station is not in their database. WCGZ would need to ask gracenote themselves, to include it in the lineups

I’m really sorry, but I honestly don’t understand how your forum works. I clicked on your link and then followed the link “Please create a topic in the community”, but it brings me back exactly to the same place where I already created this help topic for my problem. So I don’t understand where I am supposed to post the requested information. Could you please tell me exactly where I should create this new topic?

Hello doorwuc, ** This is an auto reply ** Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you. It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread: Thank you. Emby Team

Hi, I have installed Emby on my Windows Home Server 2011 server (its Windows Server 2008 R2 under the hood) I have CopyTrans HEIC installed and can view HEIC files in Windows Photo Viewer But when I try to view them in Emby I get a broken image icon and the following in the logs: 2026-03-10 07:34:45.170 Error ImageProcessor: Error encoding image *** Error Report *** Version: 4.9.3.0 Command line: C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.dll -noautorunwebapp Operating system: Microsoft Windows 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 OS/Process: x64/x64 Framework: .NET 8.0.22 Runtime: C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Roaming/Emby-Server/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 2 Data path: C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata Application path: C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system System.Exception: System.Exception: SKCodec had an error reading E:\ServerFolders\Pictures\2025\20250111-120214-iPhone 15 Pro-(IMG_0901).HEIC at Emby.Drawing.Skia.SkiaEncoder.EncodeImage(String inputPath, String outputPath, Boolean autoOrient, Nullable`1 orientation, Int32 quality, ImageProcessingOptions options, ImageFormat selectedOutputFormat) at Emby.Drawing.ImageProcessor.ProcessImage(ImageProcessingOptions options, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Source: Emby.Drawing.Skia TargetSite: System.String EncodeImage(System.String, System.String, Boolean, System.Nullable`1[MediaBrowser.Model.Drawing.ImageOrientation], Int32, MediaBrowser.Controller.Drawing.ImageProcessingOptions, MediaBrowser.Model.Drawing.ImageFormat) Is it because its such an old version of Windows?

you can see it here how it played https://mega.nz/file/XPohRQjL#RgzDD8kHVZ42j1ou_x6PSSFKzi0gshWZIoj9fSXAAE8

That prevents Emby overwriting the changes, but it still doesn't get Emby to ingest the changes. The whole point of saving NFO metadata is to have the server use it, but it's just overwriting the NFO with whatever it already has.

Style inconsistencies in plugins can be frustrating, especially when artwork or cover elements render differently across themes or layouts. Sometimes the issue comes from how the plugin handles image scaling or CSS overrides from the theme itself. I ran into a similar situation while testing layouts for a small project, and it helped to compare how visual elements behave across different sections of a site. For example, while experimenting with layouts I looked at some fashion product pages like https://apricocia.com where image presentation stays consistent across collections and listings. Observing structured layouts like that can sometimes give ideas on how to standardize image styling within plugins.

Hi, I installed the standard Emby version 3.5.30 (emby-android-google-armeabi-v7a-release.apk from the GitHub releases page). In this version I can play STRM files that contain YouTube links. However, the playback has lag delays and buffering every 5 seconds... I tested it with this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgQi9B0trqI The internet speed test on my streamer shows about 96 Mbps, and it is connected using an Ethernet cable, not WiFi. The video is played using Direct Play. On my computer, the same video plays in 1080p without any lag or freezing. I also tested 4K videos using the YouTube app on the same streamer, and they play without any problems, no lag and no buffering. So it does not seem to be a hardware or internet speed issue.

J'ai trouvé le coupable. Une m3U qui s'actualisait tout le temps (et elle est down pour l'instant). J'ai fait du tri dans mes plugins aussi.

I use selfhosted Wireguard my self. No need for 2fa for me when only i have the keys. Other users that use my VPN have their own network and shares so can't harm anything. Different needs for different uses ofc.

thats if you use tailscale i guess. i use openvpn with 2fa. nothing touches my internal network. all done on opnsense

VPN is typically easy to set up and a click of a button to connect once set up. IMO the most amount of work is opening the port for it if not using tailscale.

using 2 factor auth vpn i disagree. extra work compared

@Lukeyes.

Hi, what about the Upcoming TV section in Emby apps?

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

What about with other text fields?

Are you using the plugin now?

Try refreshing the metadata on the show, not the genre.
