It seems to spend 15-20 minutes every scan looking for the same thing, is there anyway to disable this or any workaround?

I believe that setting applies to changing existing metadata. The server is going to look to fill in missing metadata continuously.

Based on my understanding the option for allow remote connections doesn't prevent the connection entirely, it just prevents logins. If the port is open, then it's open. You'd have to close the port/Cloudflare tunnel to fully disable remote connections. I can't test on my system at the moment to confirm that.

Ah, right, I couldn't see it because it disappears if you disable all remote connections. There really ought to be a way to add an address directly to that list from the “failed login attempt” alert. Still no idea how they bypassed the CloudFlare block, or how they connected when all remote connections were disabled in Emby, or why I've suddenly had a bunch of attacks come in.

I did not. That's on the Network page.

Not sure if you saw my second edit, as you posted only a few seconds after I made it. Which settings page is this screenshot from?

Problem I'm running Emby Server 4.9.5.0 on Unraid. My Music library is configured with: After initial import, automatically refresh metadata from the internet: Never Metadata downloaders: Discogs, MusicBrainz, TheAudioDB Same Image fetchers are enabled. When I manually run Scan Media from Scheduled Tasks, Emby spends a significant amount of time identifying/processing music and makes external metadata requests. The attached log shows Emby making requests to: TheAudioDB Discogs Fanart.tv MusicBrainz For example: DiscogsArtistImageProvider.GetImages and: Emby.Providers.Manager.MetadataService.ExecuteRemoteProviders Discogs is also returning HTTP 429 TooManyRequests because of the volume of requests. My understanding is that a normal Scan Media Library should detect new/changed files and should not perform a remote metadata refresh when the library is set to Never after the initial import. Is this expected behavior in 4.9.5.0, or is there a setting I'm missing? If this is a bug, is there a known workaround or fix? I'll attach the relevant embyserver.txt log showing the requests. embyserver (2).txt

Sounds like you need to review your Cloudflare config or talk to them. Otherwise:

The OP request "a way to default closed captions off on live tv". As in, a dedicated setting to enable/disable Live TV subtitles.

@yockerI'm currently using EmbyCredits and https://github.com/TheIntroDB/emby-plugin. I see your latest changes include TheIntroDB lookups. Does this mean I no longer need the other plugin?

No idea how they're getting to it, as it's a Hong Kong IP address and CloudFlare is blocking traffic from outside Australia. Three failed login attempts in the past ten minutes, one trying to log in as “root.” I see the alerts on my dashboard, but what I don't see is any way to block the offending IP? Not sure what autoban conditions exist, but since I'm on my server machine right now it seems silly to wait for it to kick in when I could just push a button. Is there no way to do that? And if it does get autobanned, I assume that's only for a period of time. Not sure what other steps I should be taking here. EDIT: I've disabled all remote connections for now, but it's obviously not the best solution. EDIT 2: It's not a solution at all, it seems, as even with remote connections disabled I've just had another two failed login attempts, this time from Kansas City (the US is also on my CloudFlare whitelist, so that at least makes more sense than the Hong Kong efforts, though how it's connecting with all remote connections disallowed I don't know).

I have CloudFlare blocking traffic from outside Australia, but I just had two failed login attempts from an IP that seems to be located in Hong Kong?

Hi, doesn’t your second screenshot explain it?

Hello I am wondering why Emby thinks to touch / transmux this video, what exactly is happening here? I set an automatic remote streaming quality for that user. Does this mean that the user changed the value from automatic to something else? BR ffmpeg-directstream-7ebb51af-b871-47ad-934b-1b88c7999e02_1.txt

Can anyone help with setup? I'm trying to add my first channel but after clicking save and close or save and preview it just endlessly spins. Is there some kind of step by step guide for some examples on what values to put in perhaps? Thanks

Hi, what does Coco Player documentation say?

“Coco Player mein server create nahi ho raha. Android phone par server add karne ki koshish kar rahi hoon. Please guide me how to get a working Emby server URL for Coco Player.”

Within the next couple of days, pending Amazon certification, you’ll be able to save any tune you love; While a track is playing say “ Alexa Tell Ear Wax Favorite this.” or "Alexa Tell Ear Wax Favorite that" Then, whenever you’re ready to revisit your collection, just say: “Alexa Ask Ear Wax to play favorites.” Ear Wax will shuffle through the tunes you’ve favorited, creating a personal listening experience that gets better every time you use it. And for Ear Wax Select members, favorites come with the concierge treatment: you’ll also be able to rediscover favorites you haven’t heard in a while, bringing forgotten gems back into the rotation. Keep an ear out—we’ll let you know as soon as Favorites is live. Not an Ear Wax Select member yet? Upgrade to get more control over what you hear and enjoy a more personalized Ear Wax experience. Upgrade by saying 'Alexa, Ask Ear Wax to Upgrade to Select' Thank you, Marvin

That's strange.. The github is indeed missing, wonder if i deleted it by accident when i cleaned up in my github. I will look into adding it again, until then here's a dll. WatchPartyForEmby.dll

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

need help, Homescreencompanion does not show up in side bar or in plugging after manually loading file and restarting emby server,. the log states this. 2026-08-13 11:53:23.193 Info App: Loading HomeScreenCompanion, Version=4.1.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null from C:\Users\Carlos\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\plugins\HomeScreenCompanion.dll how can I fix this? thank you

Since 4.8 is normal, the problem may appear in the plug-in. I asked chagpt to help me write a python script to capture the title and era of unrecognized episodes and movies to provide a tmdb connection list, and then manually selected or modified most of them. The title is not standardized because it also needs to be pt, so the name can't be changed. It can only be further in emby. Modify, I think it's best for someone to make it into a plug-in compatible with emby, so that when scanning the whole library, those that are not recognized will not be scanned again in vain. The most important thing is that if the updated version starts from scratch in the future, it will be too troublesome. Many movies and episodes are manually modified. I hope the backup can be migrated to the new version in the future.

Hi, that’s a good question. I don’t think we’ve tried to do this before. @CBers may have some tips.

Where did you expect to see it but did not? can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !
