Boni340, that's not what ebr asked. He asked if you could try the "standard" Emby app, not the AndroidTV app (beta 2.1.43 or stable 2.1.29). Try searching for "Emb" (without the "y") in the Android store (it should list 2 apps), or download the apk from the link below https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/tree/master/android Version should be 3.5.30. Both the AndroidTV and the standard Android app can be installed at the same time. So, no need to uninstall the AndroidTV app. When installed the icon should look the one with the arrow below.

I turned my TV off for 5mins then the issue was fixed. Before I made this post I was turning my TV off and on for 10secs at a time. Not sure what triggered it, hopefully doesnt reoccur.

Thanks, found the “split apart” button after scrolling. Didn’t know that was there. Thank you!

Totally agree with this one. I have Emby Lifetime subscription, but my SBCs are useless with Emby. In contrast to Jellyfin which is free and they support full HW transcoding on my orange pi 5b (rk3588s) and radxa 5b plus (rk3588). Transcoding from 4k to 4k HEVC with HDR enabled at 3-4x speed and CPU is barely used (no more than 25-30%). I mean rk3588 is a total beast compared for example to Intel's n5095 or n100. Pity there's no proper mainline kernel for them. And vendor kernels are Frankenstein'ed :(((

Make the nfo read-only in the OS after editing it? Paul

Hi, I have a KM9 Pro streamer running Android 10. I removed the beta version v2.1.43g and installed the stable version 2.1.29g, but the behavior is the same as I described before. Movie trailers from the Movies category play without any issues on the Android TV app (2.1.29g) using the same setup. However, when I try to play a YouTube STRM file, the video does not start and the app freezes. I then need to force close the app from the Android settings and open it again.

Same thing. Weird eh?

@DarWunI forgot to write. You can use the backup feature to hasten the re-detection.

Any idea why my music stopped playing twice today? I was using the web app in Firefox. ffmpeg-transcode-e50de0df-e5d7-4a9b-9132-a424844b83b1_1.txtffmpeg-transcode-42355d9a-fc5f-4330-9211-72f58bfabbd7_1.txtembyserver.txtembyserver(1).txt

That's not what I'm trying to discuss. I'm trying to get to the bottom of something that appears to only be happening to you and I cannot explain it. Do you know if maybe this only happens when you have done that exact thing - moved to play and then moved back to resume and quickly clicked?

I have emby working on a Synology NAS, and usually use a Roku device to play shows and everything works fine. But if I do try to play something in a web browser on my computer, it doesn't really work. It takes several minutes of a spinning "busy" circle before it begins playing, and then playback is extremely choppy. Is this a limitation of how emby works with a NAS? Or a setting I should change? If this is a problem inherent to trying to transmit data from the NAS to a browser, that's OK, I'm just curious to know if I've missed something. Thanks! embyserver.txt

Hi. Did you try restarting the app? What version of the app?

I'm currently working on a play count for all users, so with that you almost get what you are looking for. I might look into adding watchtime aswell. Will be in the next update Working on this right now, will be in the next release. We do still need it if you use external list for example, or local collection. Thank you! And thanks for trying it out!

No.

Hi. Okay, but same question...

Hi. Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares? Thanks.

You can also enable "stats for nerds" on the device it is being played on to see this.

There used to be a "split apart" option and that would do at least part of what you want, if it still exists. Also you can edit the metadata of either movie to make them show up as unique.

In the NFO, or in the Emby GUI? If I lock it in the Emby GUI, I would expect that to prevent it from ingesting the change to the NFO, which is the opposite of what I want—not to mention that the whole reason I'm editing the NFO in the first place is that it's a multi-version film and I can't edit this version in the Emby GUI, so locking anything in the Emby GUI won't have any effect on what I'm doing.

Scroll down when on movie detail screen, click "Split Versions apart" button.

Go to Dashboard on Emby and you can see what is being played and if the stream is being transcoded or direct played. Typically transcoding happens if subtitles are enabled, or if the quality setting is set lower than the source video. There are tricks to get the Apple TV to direct play when it typically would transcode so if that is the issue I can help you with that.

I have a rated R movie, and a fan edit of the same movie that has been cleaned to make it PG-13. both Movies are in separate folders un a Movies folder and after the library scanned files it just included the new file as a different version of the original rated R movie, How can I make it distinct from the rated-R version to change the rating to PG-13, I have the folders separate and named differently. After I identified the movie it then again consumed it just as a version under the existing movie so I don't see how I can update the details for the PG-13 version. Thoughts?

@NabukodonosorHave you changed movie locations or replaced any movie files?

thx @alex77777i dont think so (is there a definitive way to check)?
