Hi, with last version I cannot make any recording of live tv. embyserver.txt

BUG Live TV recording stopped early when a remote viewer stopped watching the same channel
nargg posted a topic in Live TV
Synopsis generated by AI. Raw logs attached. Setup - Emby Server 4.10.0.40, Ubuntu 24.04 (kernel 6.8), Hyper-V guest, Quadro P2000 (NVENC/NVDEC) - Tuner: HDHomeRun (native HDHomeRun tuner type, stream sharing automatic) - Recording: "NFL Football - Denver Broncos at San Francisco 49ers", channel 862 KCNC-TV, timer 12b26b50ce49aad1077546b3d18c9c95 - Remote viewer: user "Chuck", Emby for Samsung 2.3.6, watching the same channel live (transcoding, low bitrate cap) Summary - 14:00:58 viewer opens KCNC-TV live -> "consumerId added: d635760f..." -> consumer count 1. - 14:23:01 recording timer fires and attaches to the SAME shared stream ("Will record ... for 246.98 minutes"). NOTE: logged as "LiveStream consumerId added: " with an EMPTY consumer id -> consumer count 2. - 14:26 - 15:17 viewer stops/starts repeatedly (failed transcodes on the client side). Every new viewer session logs "consumerId added: <PlaySessionId>" / "count is now 2"; every stop logs "consumerId removed" / "now 1". - 15:17:34 viewer session bb9fc8fb removed -> consumer count 1 (only the recording remains). - 15:18:04 viewer starts NEW session 0581f67e (PlaybackInfo, AutoOpenLiveStream=true) on the same stream. NO "consumerId added" and NO "consumer count is now 2" is logged for this session. - 16:44:59 viewer stops 0581f67e -> "LiveStream consumerId removed: 0581f67e..." -> "consumer count is now 0" -> live stream closed -> "Recording stopped" (~2h22m into a 246.98-minute recording). - No timer delete/cancel request was made. The recording was terminated only because the shared stream was closed. Anomalies 1. The recording registers as a consumer with an empty consumer id. 2. A consumer id that was never added (0581f67e) is "removed" and the count is decremented, reaching 0 while the recording is still active, which closes the stream out from under the recording. Expected: a viewer stopping playback must not close a live stream that an active recording is still consuming. emby-livetv-consumer-count-bug.txt -
Rendering the image isn't difficult; the challenge lies in having to redraw it every time—though that issue seems to have been resolved. Now, all that's needed for perfection is to reduce memory consumption. The need to redraw it every time was the biggest problem, but it appears that issue has already been solved.
-
In reality, relying on disk I/O is indeed the best approach, given that Emby's memory management and its use of SQLite are notorious issues. Since Luke has consistently been reluctant to switch to PostgreSQL and Redis, other plugins really shouldn't consume memory; otherwise, the risk of a system crash becomes extremely high.

Sony Bravia TV with EMBY for Andoid TV fails to play
Orionas21 replied to Orionas21's topic in Android TV / Fire TV
Any update why EMBY for Android TV is not working in Sony Bravia after 2.1.48g? -
After a reboot it will have to rebuild the cache, this will be fast though and no redrawing of posters will happen. There is one last thing i thinking of adding back to the plugin but i'm a bit hesitant about it as it might have been part of the problem on your system. In short, it shortens the amount of time between each poster being drawn on. It could gain a little performance.
-
Version 5.61.1.0 seems great so far; I wonder how it will behave after restarting the Emby server.
-
It always did that, Emby hands EmbyIcons a poster and tells it to enhance it, EmbyIcons after that hands it back to Emby that then placed it in cache and used it for libraries. I believe the problem was that i had it load x amount of posters into memory for processing but something would go wrong. Either the limit didn't work as it should or the memory didn't get released. I will have to look into that at some point.
-
Storing images locally for reuse is already an excellent solution; the app no longer crashes when opening the media library.
-
I don't think there's much performance left to squeeze out of it. The main two things that takes a lot of work is the series aggregation as it needs to check all episodes in a series when not using "lite" mode (available in the settings) and the drawing it self. I can't really change the drawing much as it is done by SkiaSharp and not my own. Best thing to speed up the plugin is to use "lite" mode for TV shows and collections. This will not change much for you though since you only use ratings. I am looking into some more options to increase performance but options are getting thin.

Android downloads fail with 404 because the Emby sync file is missing
OUARZA replied to OUARZA's topic in Android
In fact, it downloads on a loop.I have already uninstalled the application. -
Your plugin library consolidates images in a way that is visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing—I really like it. The performance issues are concerning, but I feel there must be a way to resolve them.
-
You DO have a big library to process. That said, if those ratings are all you want then maybe the plugin "Rating Poster Database" would work better for you. It works in a different way and focuses only on ratings so might be faster for your library.
-
However, it still takes some time to load.
-
Perfect
-
Emby places the images in programdata/cache.
-
Wow, it's incredibly fast—that's great.In which directory were the processed images placed?
-
I'm testing it right now; give me half an hour to run the test.

Hi @Luke, I'm sorry, it does the same.

My Emby Server recently updated to 4.10.x.x and I noticed the Thumbnails are now shrunk and pasted onto a "Folder" when viewed in Folder View mode. I reverted back to 4.9.5.0 and locked the server from updating automatically in order to keep the old Folder View without the Folder Outline. Is there a way to force the old Folder View on 4.10+? I didn't like the new look.
-
I have rolled back some changes in the latest 5.61.1.0 beta. One of the changes is also that it no longer load the images to memory but instead work on them directly from disk.
-
Even if your cache is large enough to hold these images, they will be processed again the next time you load them—which is a waste of resources.
-
My point is that you have to limit the cache size regardless; whenever you open a media library containing tens of thousands of files, the system attempts to load them into memory. I have 64GB of RAM, but the image collection itself might be as large as 80GB, so local disk storage is the only viable option. Even if I *did* have enough RAM to hold all the images, opening the library would still trigger a reload. Furthermore, I have 14 such libraries—there is simply no way to fit them all into memory. If I didn't use local storage to process the images beforehand and instead tried to load them on demand, I would run into serious performance issues.

Emby not available in Firestick App Store (Fire TV Stick 4K Select)
GHynson replied to customized's topic in Android TV / Fire TV
I bought 3rd Gen Fire TV Sticks for every TV in my house, 7 total back in 2020. I don't have any plans on buying anything new from Amazon going forward. If you still have any "Pre-Vega" Amazon devices, I'd suggest you turn off Auto-Updating and deny any future Updates on them. Amazon has resorted to sleezebag tactics of updating old devices with bloatware in order to slow them down and frustrate you into buying their newer devices. Don't fall for it, hold on to your older devices -
It happens on Amazon too. I brought it up in the transcoding post yesterday since I think it's related to transcoding for me; direct play seems fine, but it stutters or freezes when I pause and resume transcoded content, leaving just the audio until I restart the stream. My logs are too big to download on my phone, so I'll rotate them tonight and try to recreate the issue so I can grab the data for you.
