That is a totally loaded question. Are you talking unlimited budget, unlimited power, power limits, what? Are you staying within the regular license terms and not going to the max? For transcoding, any 12th gen i5 class or higher processor will be able to handle the maximum number of users under a normal license if each and every one of them is doing a 4k transcode while using quicksync. The bootleneck becomes your storage and potentially your network if you're using a separate machine as your server than your storage. You would be better served to read a few of the threads in this particular group to get an idea of what is "best", as it all comes down to your usage scenario. Ideally if you want us hardware people to answer you, we need more information, please.

Hello If I get this ffmpeg log right, the server transmuxes the video to handle the subtitles, then it sees it can't because of missing transcoding permissions, then it just drops the subtitles. Just dropping the subtitles should be something without touching the video serverside? Shouldn't that be enforced in that case? BR ffmpeg-directstream.txt

@Neminem @yocker thanks, both!

What?? OP can't even troubleshoot a simple port forward which according to their post on 8/27 is available in their router. You want them to install meshing with a 3rd party program and/or opensense and block 5 countries. Why not just recommend freebsd and iptables with ufw while your at it? OP needs to respond with some basic network configuration before we can assist at this point. If they are indeed by CGNAT THEN they must move onto other 3rd party solutions such as Meshing or tailscale or cloudfront tunnels etc. Until then unnecessary complexity is not the way to go. There is nothing wrong with port forwarding if you know what you are doing. I take it you are not.

Apologies, not sure where to look to check or start? I assume I've been doing it incorrectly all this time since I have never created any folders or file. To make a collection of movies or TV shows I click the search icon on the left side my home page and type in the movie or show I am looking for and click on the three dot at the bottom right of the poster and then add to the collection I want to put it in, for example I put the movie Troy in "0.1 Next up movies". This is the same way I have made all 12 collections and this is the only way I have done it since I started Emby early last year. Never had any issues for over a year until recently.

A few more comments to add... I know for a fact that my BIOS has some power saving settings at the USB level also, but I'm not going to reboot and screenshot just for you. To clarify my comment on "Emby wiping Data" What I meant was that in some random occurrences when the drive wasn't online, what I saw in the EMBY web interface is that the title was still there, but a big X on the image, clear indication to me that a drive as off line. In Windows you can create a powershell script that runs in task scheduler every 30 - 60 minutes that checks windows event log for certain event ID's. I'm not going to pollute this thread with all of that. Windows removed the send email alert directly in event viewer many moons ago. Finally, and this is pure opinion and preference. At the home level, I'm not into drive pooling nor RAID as aside from some redundancy, provide no real performance benefit on my Gig LAN. For remote viewing everything has to be transcoded down to 4mbps anyway (directly on NVIDIA Silicon Yay!) even though I have 1Gig Fiber. Why you may ask (or not) well it adds another layer of complexity to deal with. If my media files are scattered as you can see above on multiple drives, the chance of recovering data from 1 drive is much easier and simplier than data pooling / raid recovery. In those cases, your ENTIRE server is down until you fix vs only 1 drive which can be re scanned when fixed or replaced. I am not in a mission critical high performance requirement environment. I have grown up in Dell PowerVault Arrays and been knee deep in RAID 0/1/5/10 environments so I know what I'm doing but my home is NOT a high performance environment. I am also very slowing shucking and migrating these drives to a single non-raid enclosure (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MD2LNYX) as I understand the desire to save physical space. Will end up removing the two PCIe cards providing 14 USB 3.0 ports. Drives were cheaper back in the day so I guess I lucked out. 24TB seagate for $180 bucks I think it was. Also, you can run a script every once in a while to determine what's on the drive. Example Dir/w F:\Movies > C:\temp\fmovies.txt You can also schedule this script in task scheduler. Isn't drive pooling just another fancy term for JBOD? I hope those that are doing this have hardware level RAID. Almost, very almost feels like a fancy marketing term for software RAID, but really is file duplication I suppose. I've doing some reading on Stablebit but not convinced. Seems like it takes up twice the space unless webster changed the definition of "file duplication". That is a guess in a way redundancy but anything that is important to me (home videos and photos) are already burnt on multiple 50GB DVD-R discs. Media files unimportant. Finally, I'm going to agree with most others here that is a your problem / hardware / OS, not an Emby problem. I can't call Microsoft and bitch because my mapped drive disconnected and when I try to save a file it defaults to my local my documents directory now and not my server. All these years later and Persistent drive mapping is still a random issue. Sigh. My Net USE commands are just batch files now A double click away. Ok done ranting for now. Live long and prosper and don't take anything I say personally please.

Whats the best hardware to use for the emby server if I want it to work to its best potential?

I've had drive's on for many many hours w/o seeing this issue. I will say that there have been times when I have rebooted and drive did not come online automatically. I had unplug and plug either the power cord or USB for that drive but did not see EMBY directly wipe any data. YMMV of course.

OS Power Settings would step 1. I think some external usb drive have external tools also such as seagate that allow modifications.

Hi everyone, I’ve been getting back into some older PlayStation 2 games recently and noticed that PS2 emulation can sometimes be confusing for people who are just starting out. One thing that seems to cause confusion is the PS2 BIOS. The emulator needs a compatible BIOS to properly initialize the PlayStation 2 system environment, and using an incorrect, incomplete, or corrupted BIOS can lead to compatibility or startup problems. For anyone exploring PS2 emulation, I put together a resource covering PS2 BIOS information, compatibility, regions, and some of the common setup considerations: https://ps2biosonline.com/ It’s especially useful for beginners who are trying to understand how the BIOS fits into the emulator setup rather than simply treating it as another file to configure. What PS2 games have you found to work particularly well with emulation? I’d be interested to hear which games everyone is revisiting.

Tbh I have seen windows updates set it back to public. I definitely be set to private.

Hi, why has the menu changed in the iOS version? It now shows Home, Search, Downloads and Movies, but I'd rather have a Home, Search, Movies and TV Shows button. Can this be customized? Or can I change it myself a different way?

Thank you. That means a lot. I spend a lot of my free time doing this because I genuinely enjoy it, so it’s nice to feel appreciated.

Confirming that with client 1.0.51 and server 4.9.5.0, the issue is resolved on my LG TV.

You can do what @Neminemsuggested and it will fix the problem. I've also just uploaded a fix (v2.7.5.0) to the progress bar in Emby's schedule task not working. In that version i added a little script for you to check for and remove any 0:00 end credit type marker in the database. That should be an easier and faster way of doing it. The button is located just under the "Backup & Restore" on the main page. Depending on the size of your library it might take a little while to run.

I’ve been using Versions to support Theatrical and Directors cuts of the same movie (for example). Is that what this future Editions feature is meant for?

For those updating to TOS 7 and using the Emby 4.10.x beta: is it worthwhile? Is TOS 7 a significant update to do it now versus waiting however many months until they officially accept the new Emby into their release flow? I’m getting along ok with TOS 6 and Emby 4.9.x, and I’m fighting my upgraditis because I really don’t want to break something that’s stable. But I love upgrading software

Sziasztok! Emby előfizető vagyok! Az Emby szerver egy szerveren fut, és én egy Google TV Streamer 4K-t használok. Azon az eszközön a Krylif verzióját használom, mert ez adja azt a kinézetet és érzetet, amit a legjobban szeretek. Hogyan tudnék előzeteseket nézni nem teljes képernyős módban, hasonlóan ahhoz, ahogy Windowson működik?

The strm file check happens first. I'm working on making strm files possible again with a setting to enable/disable it.

Most recent log attached as requested I did it purely to test, it's back on private anyway. As said, it worked previously when it was on public, which is part of why this is so confusing. There's no consistency with the problem. embyserver.txt

Just so nobody reading the thread gets the wrong idea: Atrium is Apple TV only. There's no Android or Android TV build of it, and none planned — so the app that's been working well for you this past week is a different one. Glad you've got something running nicely, in any case.

For translation ger --> eng: preferred language: german play independent from the default track remember selected tracks The selected track on samsung TV UI was german DTS-HD Master.

You can also use TimeMarkEdit to do this.

I would rerun the affected episodes / tv shows.

Unfortunately the latest release for LG v1.0.51 has not fixed the issue. Videos will not start from the beginning with the 5.1 audio track selected (2nd audio track in video file). This also often happens with stereo AC-3 audio tracks. Starting with audio track 1 (AAC stereo) and then pausing after a couple of seconds, then selecting the 2nd audio track (5.1 ac-3) and then resuming playback works. So Emby on LG will play the 5.1 audio, just not from the very beginning of the video.
