I shared logs one time, I don't think I had an IP or API key in there though. Edit: I double checked, and no, I did not expose anything like that. And the intruder tried signing into one of the profiles twice before moving on, so they clearly had no real way in besides guessing a password. So no, I don't think that's the issue here. For context, again: the same IP tried accessing my Emby and failed. I have my server down right now while I try to sort it out, but I don't think my and OP's experiences being so close together is a coincidence. I'd love to know what happened.

All of this is circumspect, but I think he means a user on these forums. Not a user of his Emby server he created. A "fake user" on these forums. A user created with no good intent in mind. Only with the sole intent to steal another users server/credentials and possibly personal information/photos so they can be possibly blackmailed/extorted at some later time depending on what that information discloses. Some of the users of this forum create an account strictly so they can download logs of others, make a few random posts, and try to blend in. Wolves in sheeps clothing. These "fake users" then browse these forums looking for logs posted. Hoping the person who posted these logs has directly accessed the logs with the file system without using the Emby download method to obtain them which would have scrubbed out that sensitive information. These "fake users" hope to see unredacted API keys exposed and their external ports are open. If the logs show the API key it will likely also show the IP address of the server. It would be rather trivial after that to use those to access the server, which would show as the user who created that API key. He gave the IP address above in his first post which does resolve to: 88-177-86-82.subs.proxad.net If this same user was registered on this forum with this same IP address it would potentially point to a suspect. But it might also be a revolving door VPN address that could be potentially anybody. But it could be the very attacker who used these forums to patrol for logs and then sneak onto his server. He gave you the smoking gun. https://redmondmag.com/articles/2026/03/10/hackers-dont-break-in-anymore.aspx

Já testei em as séries e filmes em outros dispositivos e funcionam bem. Somente na TV LG que ocorreu a atualização que legendas subrip estão com problemas. O acentos etc da língua em português/ Brasil estão sem sentido. Será que a equipe do emby luke e companhia ja estão sabendo desse problema?

A fresh install shows the same issue. Interestingly the navigation buttons work properly if I access the affected pc via rdp from a different pc on my network. This might point towards a solution? I've also just tried installing on a different Windows 11 pc, and the problem doesn't show up. But that's no help for my Emby HTPC. The affected pc is Windows 10, UHD 605 graphics, latest drivers.

My Emby server libraries (TV Shows and Movies) are no longer detecting or adding new items from the media folders. Previously, new files were picked up automatically via real-time monitoring or manual scans. Now, scans do nothing useful—even full manual scans complete almost instantly (around 5 seconds) without accessing the disk (no HDD activity light). No items are added or refreshed. As a troubleshooting step, I deleted the TV Shows library and recreated it. This made things worse: the library now shows zero items (previously it had most/all older items, just missing new ones). Upon checking, all libraries are affected the same way—no items detected at all. Specific examples and steps taken: Media is stored locally on drive T: (a mounted internal drive with 7 TB free out of 21 TB total). Paths: T:\Media\tv shows T:\Media\movies Until a recent Emby server update, everything worked normally: real-time monitoring detected changes, and manual "Scan Library Files" tasks processed files with visible progress (progress indicator circle on library, disk activity). Now: Real-time monitoring is enabled (Library settings > Advanced). Manual scans (via library menu or Scheduled Tasks > "Scan Media Library" server-wide) finish in ~5 seconds with no disk activity. The usual progress indicator (spinning circle on the library) does not appear during scans. No new or existing items are detected/added—even a test MP4 placed directly in the root folder is ignored. chkdsk on T: reports no issues. Antivirus is not blocking (confirmed disabled during tests). Folders/files are fully accessible in Windows Explorer under the same user account that runs Emby. I temporarily moved recently added items out of the folders to test if one was problematic—no change, so I restored them. Error messages:None visible—no errors, warnings, or failures reported in Emby UI, Dashboard, or logs during scan attempts. The task simply reports "completed" immediately with no further action.Logs:I attached a recent embyserver log (generated moments after running the server-wide "Scan Media Library" scheduled task). The log shows startup and internal "Scan Metadata Folder" activity (quick DB queries for persons/metadata), but no mention of any media library scan, path traversal, file processing, or my T: paths. This matches the lack of disk activity.Additional notes: This is a server-side issue only—no playback or client problems (clients work fine with existing cached items). Emby version: 4.9.3.0 (from logs). Running on Windows 10 (build 26200), Emby runs directly under my user account (not as a service). Let me know if you need more logs (e.g., during a specific action), screenshots of library settings, or anything else. embyserver (3).txt

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

Upon further inspection, all libraries are suffering from this issue.

Most likely answer is that it’s a sneaky way of blocking you.

Platform doesn’t matter because it’s Emby server communicating with their server, not the app.

my tv shows library on emby server will not pick up new items in the libraries directory. Scandisk, Result was no issues found. Plenty of diskspace free 7 of21 tb, no errors or warnings from emby that the scan task failed failed. real time monitoring is ON already. I forced many (dozens ) of manual scan, no impact. antivirus is not blocking access. As a last ditch effort to fix this, I deleted the TV Shows library and recreated it. This did not work either. Now, the library has NO items being found, when previously it had almost all items with the exception of new items not being detected. none are detected now. embyserver.txt

That's not what we see in you screenshots. Can you tell us which of those folders you pointed the library to?

Hi. What do you mean by "Emby member"? Your server users are yours and you are in complete control of them.

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

Works when I downloaded it as an m3u file but I was hoping to keep using the http url so it stays up to date without having to continuously download to update.when I use the http I get an error.

Another update, various improvements. Live TV looks better, updated the tabs and pills, and other fixes. trying to make more elements fit into the overall theme. suggestions welcome.. Emby Navy and Gold v2.css

@soderlundThanks for the analysis above. It made the use of all users and any user clear. Have you included an any user parameter?

hi @Lukesadly no. would really like help in resolving this as i got the life time license and my wife cant use it... one other thing, she has been using it via infuse (using emby as the media server) for the last 30-4 days and it works flawlessly, so it surley is the emby app on on both the appleTV and mac (both in different rooms, same netowrk) thx Z

Hallo zusammen, Aktuell habe ich immer noch die selbe IP Adresse.

You mean the UI not updating? All. The. Time. But not this "new derivative".

Okay, I understand what you want to accomplish. Lets break it down and see if we can get down to the point, my answers in bold. First lets clarify what "Last played" is. A movie gets a played status when a user has seen 2-100% of that movie (default Emby setting). In other words, the user has to have seen part of that movie, or completed it for the flag to be set. When we add last played, we sort these played status into a list based of time. Last Played, All Users, > 1095 This will give you: All movies EVERYONE have started to play for more than 3 years ago. If you have a lot of users, this is very unlikely, or you will only get a handful of hits. I believe the issue is in the "All Users". When you are using "All user" it means that every user need to have set that played status for that specific movie. For example lets use Batman. The watch status of the users is like this: John: 99% Maria: 45% Donald: 8% Then you will have a hit and Batman should end up in your list. If it's like this: John: 99% Maria: 45% Donald: 0% Then Donald will break the rule, as it has not been played by all users, and you will have zero hits. Unwatched, All Users AND Date Added > 1095 This will give you: All movies that NO ONE has completed, and where added to the library more than 3 years ago. If it's like this: John: 99% Maria: 45% Donald: 8% Then John will break the rule, and Batman will not get added. If it's like this: John: 0% Maria: 45% Donald: 8% Then you will get a hit because no one has finished that movie. I think i understand what you want to accomplish, here are a few examples Last played, Any User, >1095 AND NOT Last played, any user, <1095 This will give you a move that at least one user watched 3, 5 or 15 years ago, but no one have seen it in the past 3 years. Could be good for "there has been interest in this movie, but that was a long time ago. Lets resurface" NOT Last played, any user, <1095 This will give you all movies that no one has seen in the latest 3 years. Does this answer your questions?

Yes useless same problem with embedded subs

You might be able to do it via reverse proxy filtering some how. Bet some one in here will know.

Same issues with Greek

Unlikely I'm afraid. Their technical support staff isn't very technical. It does appear to change in frequency depending on the platform. Samsung TV it almost never works, Amazon Fire 70%, Web browser about the same. It's a bummer for sure, but there may just not be anything I can do about it.
