Did you try a factory reset?

Someone might ask where would you find this information? This website appears to allow commercial use for free. Has an asterisk after free which means there are strings attached. There might be some kind of shared agreement whether it is financial or advertising related. https://www.tunefind.com/api

We need to know what happened, right now we are all guessing! We need more info about your setup and how you have configured Emby. There are so many ways this can happen and so many option admin can forget or not know about what it does, that can lead to this.

Have you ever posted "Emby server logs" on this forum and those disclosed your private API key? If they happen across your API key in any of those server logs those could be used to allow unscrupulus people to try to gain access to your server and start messing with things.. Always make sure to submit logs that you download through the server admin interface so they will get information removed, such as API keys, IP addresses, etc.. I am suspect you may have needed help very early on and some a$$hole found your logs with the api key in it and decided he wanted to be a d!ck. Apologies. You need to read the post that I have linked above. It will explain how this happens and how to prevent it.

Are you and your users using Emby connect? Did you disable remote access to you admin account? Do you show users on login screen? Does any of this look similar to your case?

Hi Folks! I have started a download in FireTV Stick. It seemed to finish. But then it starts over. I believe this is because of how this platform handles background operations. Once emby goes to sleep it stops the download. Then it is not continuing but restarting the download which means it is not that user-friendly unfortunately. I have to sit down and keep pushing the remote to keep the emby awake in order to properly download some content. Is there any known way to overcome on this limitation?

One other little tid-bit. I remember from a previous thread that you had me enable the "Force transcoding" on MPEGTS for this client so that I could start watching an in-progress recording and have FF / REW functional. The FFMPEG log got me thinking, and so I toggled that option OFF and the CC started working. So I can either have CC or I can watch in-progress recordings, but not both. Frustratingly, in the old Android TV app, they both work at the same time. Not sure what code update would be needed for the supported app to work as well as the depricated app, but I'd love to see that happen!

When I turn on CC with the embedded "Default EIA_608" during playback, nothing happens. If I up-arrow during playback and turn off / on CC, no words still. Emby for Android 3.5.28 = no CC, and unfortunately, this is my main watching device (Onn 4k streamer) For fun, I tried two other options this morning. All using the same show; - Emby Android TV 2.1.23g = CC (interestingly, this is on the same Onn 4k streamer - I haven't deleted it yet even though I understand this is depricated and the Emby for Android 3.5.28 is the current supported client). - And for kicks, on my laptop using Windows Emby Theater 3.0.20 = CC Same user on all devices, and as far as I can tell, I have the same options set for each client; Preferred language = English Mode = Default Remember Selections is checked Is this just a client issue with the one client then? Or is there a setting somewhere in that client that I'm just not seeing? Here's a log file and FFMPEG log. I played the same program on; Windows; ended at 9:04 am, CC worked Emby Android TV 2.1.23g; during the 9:06 minute, CC worked Emby for Android 2.5.28; during the 9:09 minute, CC did not work ffmpeg-directstream-bd722f3b-d6f7-4265-b1ba-b1b9ba98f9e1_1.txt embyserver-63908817009.txt

Okay, after some poking around. It looks like the issue is that Emby at some point in the last few releases now gets upset if any of the top level folders are not readable by Emby. Subfolders (folders inside top level folders) seem fine (or any further down the tree). Not sure if this was intended, this used to work. My workaround is having an .embyignore in the top level folder with the names of the emby unreadable directories. This seems to be working. e.g. HeldBack/* Pictures Raw Scans/*

Please add a feature that shows the song used in a movie, Could maybe be shown below the actors.

Can't you just set it to not auto skip and then press the skip button on the shows that you want to skip? Not that much work to press a button.

I know this has been brought up many times but the last forum I see on it is from 2024, so 2 years ago. But the Apple TV 4K app for Emby is still missing the A-Z quick scroll option on the side. It's been said its being worked but we've had an app release in December of 2025 and its still missing. How close are we to getting this? It would be extremely helpful because I have thousands of movies to scroll through. I only use Apple TV in my house and really don't want to switch just for this feature.

Im sure they have an ok password but how could they navigate every user, than created a new user, update policies and than deleted that username they created, now i have blocked accces to my personal photos, but they already been downloaded

Awesome! Is there any possibility, or will there be, to analyse audiotracks in videofiles to normalize volume? N.

would be nice to add a toggle on a show that would allow for auto skipping the intro. right now I know it can be a global thing but there's a few shows I have I don't want to have it auto skip, and a few that my toddler watches that I'm very sick of the intro lol.

Working on it.

Hi - As per the post above, can you provide the JSON output and I'll take a look. Use the MediaInfo GUI version to get the JSON output from the file in question - this is what the Plugin reads to determine the codecs.

Depends which version is the default, and which version any given user has access to, no? And the unwanted genre shows up when I view genres.

I have now added a support article covering Hauppauge tuners and WinTV - Hauppauge Setup It is linked to from the Live TV Setup page I have also updated the Live TV Advanced Settings article DVR Settings (Live TV Advanced Settings)

I’ve used the instant payout option a few times, and it saved me a lot of waiting around. If you’re trying to clean up your inventory fast, I just go there to Sell skins and get credit or cash right away. It skips the usual trade hold, which is handy if you’re swapping loadouts or grabbing something new on the spot.

I came across this older discussion and wanted to add that a lot of people now use tools like Skraper or LaunchBox just to generate description text, then point Emby to the exported metadata files. Some frontends can output simple XML or JSON that Emby reads fine. Has anyone here tried mixing multiple scrapers to fill in the gaps Gamebrowser left?

Tried installing again this morning to replicate the error, but the install was succesful and the client works. This is the first time something like this has happened and I've been using emby for quite a few years now. Strange thing, that at first my wife tried installing it with no luck (uninstall old version -> install new from the same usb she always does), and turned the TV off. I've arrived home later, tried again, installer failed to install package. Sorry to bother you folks with this—hope you all have a nice day!

Edited to update: iso_convert.sh is part of a larger collection called the Cotignac MKV Toolkit. See updated description below. Hi again, Following my previous post about iso_convert.sh, I wanted to share that this script is actually part of a larger collection I've put together for automating my media pipeline on Synology NAS. I've named the collection Cotignac MKV Toolkit. The toolkit currently consists of six scripts, all running in Docker containers via Portainer, following the same queue-based folder structure and email notification pattern: iso_convert.sh — Converts Blu-ray ISO files to MKV using MakeMKV and MKVToolNix. As described in my previous post, it selects the correct title automatically based on duration and file size. mkv_merge.sh — Processes MKV files and handles subtitle track merging and selection. It follows a priority-based logic to ensure the preferred subtitle track ends up embedded in the final file, falling back through several options if the first choice isn't available. tv_merge.sh — A companion to mkv_merge.sh, specifically designed for TV series. It handles the same subtitle merging workflow but is built around the folder structure and naming conventions that Emby expects for episodic content. mkv_extract_srt.sh — Extracts a subtitle track in a specific language from MKV files and saves it as a standalone SRT file. It handles both individual MKV files and entire folders, moves the original file to a separate subfolder once extraction is complete, and reports any files where no matching subtitle track was found. subscan.sh — Scans an MKV library for files that contain a subtitle track in a specific language. When a match is found, the file is renamed to reflect this, making it easy to identify which files already have the desired subtitles embedded and which still need processing. mkv_autosync.sh — Automatically resynchronizes subtitle tracks that have drifted out of sync with the audio. This is particularly useful for files where commercial breaks or other edits have caused variable timing drift that a simple offset correction won't fix. It uses segment-based analysis to correct the sync across the entire file. All six scripts share the same design philosophy: drop files into a queue folder, let the script run overnight, and find the results waiting in a done folder — with an email telling you what happened. I'm happy to share any of the scripts if there's interest. Please note that as with iso_convert, all scripts are shared as-is and used entirely at your own risk. I strongly recommend always working with copies of your files rather than originals.

J'ai supprimé Simkl et Trakt. J'ai relancé le serveur et je vais juste remettre trackt. Mais depuis que j'ai supprimé la m3u, plus de souci. Mon ouverture de bibliothèque est de nouveau instantanée. ;o). Je reste en moyenne à 1gio de RAM utilisée Pour trakt, pourtant j'ai l'abo VIP premium... Je vais voir si j'ai toujours des erreurs après l'avoir réinstallé. Merci en tout cas. et bonne journée

I could mention for everyone that even though this is a stable release, there will probably be some bugs found. It’s stable in the sense that it will not break anything and all functionality is working as expected (except some bugs). I have tested all filters for the smart playlist, but when we start to combine them in weird ways and on other systems I expect some smaller issues. Thanks for all help and all bug reports!
