Hi, apologies for the delay. We are working on getting a new server release out to resolve this. The fix is already on the server beta channel. Thanks.

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

Thank you for your response. I’ll describe the problem in more detail over the weekend.

OK there are two sides to this. First, there is currently an issue in the server where one of these errors for any given folder can cause the entire parent folder to not be scanned. This has been resolved for the next release. But the permission denied errors are something you will need to look at. How have you configured permissions? Or more specifically, how have you ensured that the server has permission to these folders?

OK I think another way would be to just click your user icon and go through the server selection process again.

Hi, thanks for following up !

Emby suddenly stopped working for me 2 nights ago and I have been unable to login since. It seems to work and stream on my windows pc through the browser but unable to login anywhere else using 2 different samsung tv's, 1 lg tv and 2 different samsung phones. 1. restarted router 2. uninstalled and reinstalled emby on pc 3. deleted server and created a new one 4. port forwarding done 5. anti virus unblocked and or deleted anti virus entirely. 6. soft reset tv 7. uninstalled and reinstalled emby on tv's and phones. same error message every time on all devices listed above. screen shot attached. again, i changed nothing, this just randomly happened and nothing has worked so far.

Yes, any Chicago Fire episode in Dom's Office 2026-04-07 16:40:28.708 Info SessionManager: Playback stopped reported by app AndroidTv 2.1.31g on Insignia-Dom's Office playing Chicago Fire - S11, Ep2 - Every Scar Tells a Story. Position: 963814 ms. PlaySessionId: b0b00e90656440e3b74d682879ce0bd8. IsPaused: True

Trying to force non-direct (1080p 4mbps for example) briefly loads the player interface more completely but then gets stuck in a playback error loop (popup/screen takeover). A few fixes and this ought to be a great improvement I hope though!

Somewhat - with some additional modifications, I can launch and navigate the app and the interface is definitely snappier and smoother. Playing videos does not work though - the server starts streaming and it looks like its playing from the server dashboard (direct play for all) but emby theater freezes up with a glitched interface (twitchy or frozen loading circle, some overlapping copies of text, etc). It's not unresponsive though; Home button stops playback and goes to main menu. Steps sudo apt purge emby-theater Install with script from here: curl https://pkg.emby.media/get.sh | sh Had to also edit /usr/local/bin/emby-theater which had some exports and was pointing to /opt/emby-theater New /usr/local/bin/emby-theater: #!/bin/sh APP_DIR=/opt/Emby-Beta exec $APPDIR/media.emby.client.beta "$@"

The startup animation for Emby Beta for Linux is very long. I can't skip it with space, click, escape. How do I disable it?

Did you get whisper language detection to work? I tried a while back and gave up because it was REAL bad at it. Ohhh you had ffmpeg extract to 16kHz mono which is apparently what whisper wants. Interesting. Well what do you know, that's all it was. Thanks for the assist, its always the little things

Has anyone successfully rolled back to an older server version and got things working? I've not had any luck, unsure how far back this issue exists.

With different sources like local, webstreams, .strm, etc it creates duplicate entries of the same videos. It would be nice if Emby could recognize they are the same based on metadata and group them together and handle them like it does right now with different resolutions of local files.. Continue watching will show the different libraries even though it knows they are the same content and even knows which ones are watched.

No I didn't, ended up getting lazy and just running it with docker

I think the only way would be Jaws (1975) (BluRay x265 10bit HDR) - 1080p

It would be a good idea... Feel free to get input from others though!

That would be great. just out of curiosity: is there any reason NFO’s are not used for image files?

No, my DSM doesn't, just router port forwarding. You think the problem is caused by some inaccessible resource? How to find out which definitely? I saw the same thread in russian community: https://emby.media/community/topic/145846-не-открывается-каталог-плагинов/ It seems to me, that there is the same problem, so I have to try with VPN to get inaccessible resource?

This is from the plex help page and this is how I did it. Thanks for the quick reply. /Movies /Avatar (2009) Avatar (2009).mkv Arrival-scene.mp4 Bar Fight-deleted.mp4 Performance Capture-behindthescenes.mkv Sigourney Weaver-interview.mp4 Stephen Lang-interview.mp4 Teaser Trailer-trailer.mp4 Theatrical Trailer #1-trailer.mp4 Theatrical Trailer #2-trailer.avi

For photos, yes. I think ideally we should add support to save it as embedded metadata inside the image file.

Hi, that's strange. are you using a vpn?

Hi there, can you please show examples of how your files are named and organized ?Thanks.

It's not a bug. It is by design that the automatic grouping is isolated into each library. But an option to make that extend across all libraries is always a possibility.

If you see the same playlist in the Emby web app, and you are logged in with alexa as the same user, then it should work. So please try that and let us know how things go.
