The MediaSources didn't work because all scripter-X could get handed to it was the movie ID, which is apparently unique to each version (see the prior post). Fellowship has multiple versions, as correctly IDed on the interface, but the REST API only returned a single MediaSource when querying. I did end up getting everything working. I'll walk through the solutions here, but if someone wants the actual python code, let me know. To accomplish the tagging goal, I had to treat movies and TV episodes differently. Movies I tagged scripter-x to run against any item update that was a movie. I used the REST API to grab the parent of the movie instance and then grab all movies that shared the parent. This was the only way I found to grab all versions of a movie. Movies have separate instance IDs and outside of using a TheMovieDB or IMDB common ID (which I have some movies that may not match), this was the only way I found to grab all the "versions" of a movie since they since in the same folder (which is the movie parent). Episodes This was a little more straight forward since scripter-x can automatically retrieve the series, season, and episode numbers. Make a REST API query to get all episodes from a given season. Iterate through the results for all objects whose 'IndexNumber' matches the episode number (the REST API wouldn't take IndexNumber as a searchable input from my experimentation). End result is a list of all versions of that specific episode.

Funny thing, it was set to public before when this started and it still sometimes worked. I set it to private as one of the many help articles recommended, and it's still causing issues. I just swapped the laptop back to public, and still no change.

It might be worth checking your laptops network has been set to "public" instead of "private" - this is a thing that Windows Update sometimes messes with. Paul

OK if you're trying to make a fresh start then you should also delete the server data folder: Emby Server Data Folder

HI, just look in the folders next to the files.

i saw it on the server, that's why when I originally added the libraries back I first set it to only use the previous nfo files to pull info, it just didnt so I decided to allow it to scrape tmdb since it wasn't populating info and that's when it began altering the nfo files. I also added a bunch of photos to another library and then the next day half the images were just gone. I don't know what other program would have deleted those images considering emby is the only program I use to organize my media library. I also had another weird issue where when I was manually organizing my movie library, I was deleting folders that used to contain copies of movies that were in different formats in order to organize all the formats into one folder and emby (or something else) was recreating those deleted folders and then adding nfo files to em.

Zam, Double check you are naming the files according to the suggested guide. https://emby.media/support/articles/TV-Naming.html?q=FIle name https://emby.media/support/articles/Movie-Naming.html?q=FIle name If you vary from these name directions, Emby could think that a secon Rocky movie is really another version of the 1st movie and combine both together in one movie with a pull down option to go from one to another. This would result in you only seeing the first Rocky listed. The 2nd film would be combined into the first media page and you would never see it in a search or in a collection. This happens automatically if your file naming is not accurate. I didn't read everything above, but just wanted to mention this as a possible issue. Go into the media that has a page and look for the other movies showing up in a pull down option for different versions to see if you have this happening.

Same here on my LG G5 on Emby 1.0.51 unfortunately. Latest WebOS25 Update.

I Just updated Emby on my LG G5 to 1.0.51 but the problem with DTS transcoding persists. :/

Any idea where I should start looking? I have no clue what might be denying access.

Goros, My media content uses AAC audio at the highest bitrate and it always plays fine, directly to TV internal speakers using an HDMI cable. Your system has perhaps something in between like an AV amp or the connection directly to speakers or pass through to speakers, causes some issue. I don't use AC3 because going to a windows or TV web browser AC3 or EC3 audio always triggers a transcoding and AAC doesn't. Why do you think your setup has AAC connection issues and my direct from server to TV has no issue?

It does not need to change the real Media Library images (I agree that would be unworkable if so) , A case in point is iconic plugin. That applies badges visbile on android and my media library images are unaffected (I store images in my media folders fwiw and this is what i am checking when i say it doesnt change those).

Yes this is something you'll need to look at: Permission denied The server is being denied access to open the file.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

What makes you think it deleted information? Perhaps it was just never on your server to begin with.

It shouldn't do that at all. Failed detections should not add anything. I can't replicate it but I will look into it asap!

I didn't test this function for a long time, but Kodi should automatically join the parts into one single movie.

Just a random question, have you looked in your network settings, and taken a look under "Allow remote connections to this Emby Server" and made sure it was checked?

Yes sure

Thanks so much! When I was on version 2.4.x, although it wasn't perfect, it still worked for over 60% of my videos (mostly anime). So I really hope it can be brought back as an optional setting. I also have another suggestion: when credit detection fails for a video, the credit start time defaults to 0:00. However, some third-party players (like SenPlayer) treat the video as completely watched the moment it starts playing due to this timestamp. Is it possible to add an option that sets the fallback credit start time to the very end of the video when detection fails?

Disculpe pero como miro los registros?

I guess there's another program replacing images with captured images.

I just found this error in the Log: 2026-09-05 18:35:15.224 Error App: Error in ffprobe *** Error Report *** Version: 4.9.5.0 Command line: C:\Users\emrek\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.dll -noautorunwebapp Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10.0.26200 OS/Process: x64/x64 Framework: .NET 8.0.27 Runtime: C:/Users/emrek/AppData/Roaming/Emby-Server/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 16 Data path: C:\Users\emrek\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata Application path: C:\Users\emrek\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Unified.Ffmpeg.FfRunException: Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Unified.Ffmpeg.FfRunException: ffprobe failed - streams and format are both null: -i file:"G:\EMBY\Filme\John Wick Kapitel 4 (2023)\John Wick Kapitel 4 (2023) [2160p BluRay x265].mkv" -threads 0 -v info -print_format json -show_streams -show_chapters -show_format -show_data ffprobe version 5.1-emby_2023_06_25_p4 Copyright (c) 2007-2022 the FFmpeg developers and softworkz for Emby LLC built with gcc 12.2.0 (Rev10, Built by MSYS2 project) file:G:\EMBY\Filme\John Wick Kapitel 4 (2023)\John Wick Kapitel 4 (2023) [2160p BluRay x265].mkv: Permission denied { } at Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Probing.MediaProbeManager.GetMediaInfoInternal(String inputPath, String primaryPath, MediaProtocol protocol, Dictionary`2 requestHeaders, Boolean extractChapters, String probeSizeArgument, Boolean isAudio, Boolean hasMixedProtocols, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Providers.MediaInfo.FFProbeVideoInfo.ProbeVideo[T](MetadataResult`1 metadataResult, MetadataRefreshOptions options, BaseItem[] collectionFolders, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Providers.Manager.MetadataService`2.RunCustomProvider(ICustomMetadataProvider`1 provider, MetadataResult`1 itemResult, String logName, MetadataRefreshOptions options, BaseItem[] collectionFolders, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, RefreshResult refreshResult, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Source: Emby.Server.MediaEncoding TargetSite: Void MoveNext() Could it be because of that?
