1 right click on the Emby Server app in Application folder 2 select show package contents 3 go to the folder called MacOS open it 4 find EmbyServer it will call it a Unix executable, and click on it. this will open a terminal window, just wait a browser tab should launch and Emby Server will start. You will not have the menu bar icon. <--- these steps. every time i want to login to emby server, i need to do these steps, since it not have a menu bar icon . .

Side question: how to get notified when a new release is published for an Emby app ? I found some dedicated threads for the different version in the forum but they are not updated regularly and most of them are quite behind. I checked also on github but there is no repo specific for each player version.

What exactly do you do every single time?

every time i need to login , i need to make these steps so i can open it. otherwise it does not work/open the server.

I'm very sorry, but for privacy reasons, I deleted the above file and retested it. The file is below. Debug mode is enabled. 2026-06-25 02-51-21.mp4 embyserver-63917952893.txt

Hi, what do you mean by every single time?

Hi! this worked but to use Emby every single time I have to make this again. Would it be possible to link the installer for MacOS 10.13 that works so i can use it normally? please thanks!

No, it wasn´t the proxy.

Not specifically but I was mainly curious about whether you figured out anything related to your reverse proxy. Thanks.

Good question! I had patched the DLL as mentioned in the thread above, and it worked. In the meantime, there have been Emby updates (one?), and it still works. Have you officially done anything about it in the meantime?

If emby only made an OIDC support worth it, i will be happy... But with LDAP works good as well.

OK there is one source of a crash that we have identified and resolved for the next release of the app. Thanks.

I got so tired of waiting for 2fa and a few other features that I have made my own media server.

Same with Apple store version although interface less sluggish but crash the same way as soon as you start playing a media ! ------------------------------------- Translated Report (Full Report Below) ------------------------------------- Process: Emby [3609] Path: /Applications/Emby.app/Contents/MacOS/Emby Identifier: com.emby.mobile Version: 2.2.53 (44) Code Type: ARM-64 (Native) Role: Foreground Parent Process: launchd [1] Coalition: com.emby.mobile [1951] User ID: 501 Date/Time: 2026-06-24 20:19:41.4891 +0200 Launch Time: 2026-06-24 20:19:22.8672 +0200 Hardware Model: MacBookPro18,2 OS Version: macOS 26.4 (25E246) Release Type: User Crash Reporter Key: BE2186AF-84DA-208C-1510-C73C01210373 Incident Identifier: BCC230D3-3707-4AC6-817A-EDEB856BFEA6 Time Awake Since Boot: 2900 seconds System Integrity Protection: enabled Triggered by Thread: 30 com.apple.audio.IOThread.client Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11, Segmentation fault: 11 Terminating Process: exc handler [3609] VM Region Info: 0 is not in any region.

That's true. Emby only has LDAP. I am using emby behind reverse proxy with traefik and authentik 2fa. It works great with emby LDAP. Works great with the app emby as the website.

This means that Emby doesn't work properly with Authelia. If I used Authelia, it would just be a gate behind the reverse proxy--meaning I would have to log in twice--and wouldn't work properly with client apps.

@EriksUsername Looked bit deeper. Turns out, not all harddrives are supported. You can try hdparm: https://www.thelinuxvault.net/blog/linux-hdd-sleep-how-to-enable-and-disable-with-hdparm/

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I've been a Lifetime Emby Premiere user for a long time.

HI, we'll take a look at this. Thanks for reporting.

OK we haven't tested this with strm. But it should work with regular music files.

Okay, wait... Jellyfin has an OIDC plugin, but Emby does not? It's also amazing to find out that Audiobookshelf---which went gold as recent as March 2022, and still doesn't have an official iOS app release outside of TestFlight---has OIDC support. And Emby does not.

Asi los tengo tambien probe con la extension txt y nada y en mi pc donde hago pruebas tengo los archivos originales .mp3 y al adjuntar el lrc tampoco hace nada

I have a high-performance server with 64 cores and 64GB of memory, which is only running Debian and Docker. I use Emby to manage my media files. There are many music files and some movies. I'm having trouble playing audio. In version 4.8.11.0, although there were some minor bugs, playback and display functions worked perfectly. There was no noticeable lag, waiting, or display issues.These problems occurred when I upgraded to version 4.9.X. Specifically, when I quickly skip tracks, there's a long wait. During this wait, there's a chance the music will play normally, but there's also a high probability the program will freeze and I can't stop playing. I've tried many solutions to this problem, even suspecting a reverse proxy (Nginx). Therefore, I specifically created a fresh install of Emby for testing; without a reverse proxy, with SSL disabled, and playing directly from the webpage. I found that when the version is 4.9 or higher, during the buffering phase, it always waits to send a JSON file to http://host:8096/emby/Sessions/Playing, which contains information such as the current playback status. Once the server successfully responds to this file, everything runs smoothly again. During this file transfer anomaly, even the album art wouldn't display. Video transmission doesn't have this problem, which is interesting. The attached file is a screen recording of the issue I encountered while testing Emby. I hope it can help you locate the problem. The log file contains screen recording test content. Please feel free to leave a message if you need anything else, and I will do my best to help you.

Hi there, how are your lrc files named and organized?
