I have a problem that when almost all sound gets transcoded it causes buffering on most clients. Also Emby transcodes many sound formats when streaming to LG TV even though the TV can direct play if transcoding is disabled. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-remux-f8b433e7-ded5-4fb3-ab53-abf4b3b3c3c4_1.txt embyserverNoTranscodeLG.txt

Update to the weirdness...... I was able to view the antenna channels thru the HD Homerun app while we were on our home network. Our wifi was up the whole time. The channels worked fine. 3 hours after logging this issue, my wife tried Emby on our TV & everything was up & running again. So, I'm going to scour thru Event Viewer to see if anything jumps out. Is it possible that a background task is taking a long time to complete? I can't make sense of how this comes & goes.

Quick bug fix (v2.3.5) up at yocksers/EmbyCredit Github- Fixed problem with backups.

RDP mitigates the problem here, as well.... but should not be considered a solution.

@ Luke, Ja ich finde das super Sind jetzt schon drei wochen @sh0rty, Ja T-kom ich weiß aber trotzdem nicht wieso ich dieses mal so lange eine IP Adresse habe. Im Januar habe ich Jellyfin getestet und da wurde die IP Adresse spätestens am 3. Tag geändert. Ich komme mit den ganzen "Portkram" nicht so recht klar. Ich möchte aber auch keinen Proxy Server über Synology das dauert denke ich mal sehr lange mit den verbinden ... Ja genau deshalb hab ich mir bei no ip diese ddns... erstellt. nur weiß ich jetzt nicht weiter ganz ehrlich. Ich habe die Synology erst ein gutes halbes Jahr. Am WE werde ich mal Chat GPT ausprobieren was da so zu machen ist. LG Alex

Yeah, just to show support adding the feature is fine, but breaking the old one means people will need to" go find all the folders where the .ignore files used to be navigate one level up, and then create a new file, and copy the path of the old ignore file repeat for every folder where they have ignore files. this is tedious. all with no real heads up about the change, and most of us probably already tried to replace our .ignores with .embyignores with a * in the file. kind of a bad UX decision, IMO

Hey. Sorry I've been busy with work and kids. The router has Upnp opened. What do you mean by open it manually? Create a port for emby?

I'd really love to enable SNI, how should I get started?

It appears system is selecting audio/subtitle tracks as configured, based on your previously played episode. You might want to disable/toggle off "Remember saved track selections" here so it doesn't carry over:

It already uses ItemAdded and/or ItemUpdated from Emby. Theres no other way i can find of (other than scanning whole libraries) that i know of for the plugin to see newly added or changed files.

Yeah, it shouldn't... there's always been random issues with each platform, with the web browser being the most successful. For a while it was the FireTV, now it's the Samsung app that is the sketchiest.I'm not sure why the provider would be blocking me, but their service has gone way downhill since they sold the business. I am going to take out some time to hammer on my local video content & see if I have better results. I should have taken that step earlier, but somehow I didn't think of it. Thanks for the help.

@yockerSince you're doing per-show backups and detecting for media changes, can you add a setting to not re-run detection on an episode until a media change notification comes through?

Attached is the log. The timestamp of the stream and letting it play the next episode happens around 2026-03-13 12:25:48.706 or 12:28. If there is anything more I can provide please let me know. embyserver.txt

...I have no idea what any of that means, either.

Hi, yes, there's still stutter in the videos, though not as extreme as in the original post.

So is that the image that was used to create the thumbnail under "Image Capture" or was it generated elsewhere from within the mkv ?

Hmm, my server is saying it is unreachable. I will start a separate thread to troubleshoot if it continues.

HI, yes I think some in-app control could help with this.

HI, if you go to the songs tab in your music library, you could filter by genre there and then see individual songs for that genre.

Yes embedded images are supported.

No, it will auto-detect your remote ip if left blank.

So the manually entered 'external domain' in the network settings is where this comes from? Meaning no automation? And the server needs either a fixed IP or domain? I was looking at switching to the new letsencrypt short term SSL certs that are a public IP instead of domain name. I would have to automate updating the emby 'external domain' for that to work?

For some reason you have to disable all transcoding for the user that is using the Apple TV for proper Dolby Vision playback (this can cause issues with other devices this user uses so I would recommend making a separate user just for the Apple TV). The Emby Server for some reason wants to convert the stream server side when the Emby App is capable of doing it on the Apple TV itself which causes the issue with Dolby Vision. By changing these settings it also allows for direct streaming of other things such as PGS subtitles which puts less load on the server and makes the Apple TV a smoother experience. Hopefully they change this in the future but for now this is the only way to get proper playback for the Apple TV with the Emby App. Let me know if you need more information or help.

This. And if your domain doesn't have a PTR record for reverse lookups then your IP is all they know and can't complete the TLS handshake to get any more info. Just don't run non-TLS services on the same IP. Most domains wouldn't need a PTR unless running an email server and if someone is then they should know enough to protect their services.

Grim, that's the ticket, enabled and refreshed a couple and they now have thumbnails for the episodes - thanks. Since that's last in the order I'm assuming that it'll go to the other sources, tvbd etc. first and generate one as a last resort. Luke, attached is a mediainfo on that file, at the bottom it has a thumbnail of that episode as an attachment in the MKV. What/when/if anything are those attachments used in Emby? With a file explorer (windows) add on they show up in a folder view instead of generic icons. mediainfo.txt
