Will there be any new Emby for Android updates? Coming from Roku. Been using this for a month. Solid, no issues. Just pure curiosity.

What do you mean, 'not there'? The laptop has an E and F drive, I plugged the drive into both at different times, same with my desktop PC. I added the drive letters via the library menu and added both E and F drives, so no matter which one it was plugged into, it should have still been able to read the data. Right this second it's showing as plugged into F on the laptop, and it finished scanning the files from F when I added it, like I already showed in the previous image I originally had the drive set on my desktop PC to ONLY the F drive to avoid having to constantly re-scan for files if anything happened, however by default the laptop registered it as E. I managed to get it to F on the laptop by plugging in a USB stick first, which registered it as E, then added the drive as F, to avoid messing around with Disk Management again The hard drive is accessible via E or F, on both machines. This isn't a case of 'it's added to a drive that doesn't exist', I added it to a drive that DOES exist. Even when I first plugged it in, it was set to E, so I added E to the library. YOU then advised that I should set it back to F, which is what I did, and now you're telling me to NOT set it to F, because F doesn't exist according to you, after you told me to set it to that? I've tried it in the F drive with only F set on the library settings for both folders, didn't work I've tried it in the E drive with only E set on the library settings for both folders, didn't work I tried it on both E and F with both 'E and F' paths in the library settings, didn't work Both E and F are available drives on both machines, which the external hard drive can be plugged into, I added both to the library, it scanned all the files (which took some time but it DEFINITELY finished before I did anything else), yet still gives the same playback error no matter what I try to watch, but E and F ARE available drives on both of my machines.

Stop adding drive letters that not there. If it shows up as E only add that to you library. 2026-06-28 06:27:24.026 Info LibraryMonitor: Skipping realtime monitor for F:\TV Shows because the path is currently not available Right now its adding all you media via E and is not done yet. 2026-06-28 13:04:39.213 Info MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Execute: C:\Users\colin\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\ffprobe.exe -i file:"E:\TV Shows\Friends\Season 3\S03E09 The One with the Football.mkv" -threads 0 -v info -print_format json -show_streams -show_chapters -show_format -show_data This will be an endless cycle for you if you keep doing these things.

Okay, I moved the drive back over to the desktop PC, added E and F as well, still getting the same playback error message while trying to play content on my TV with the drive hooked into my PC (via E), this is the log that generated when I tried to play 'The Untouchables' and an episode of 'Family Guy' (just what I had immediate access to). The movie seemed to load but just showed a black screen (video not playing, no progress bar, no pause, etc), then the episode gave the same error message as before. embyserver.txt

Is this a HD that you move between the to servers? If it is I would shutdown Emby Server before removing the HD. Emby might see files missing and start removing metadata. And then need to fetch metadata again, when it sees the drive again. Just so that you are aware of that.

Just finished the scan, this is what I see in the settings on the laptop, the '2 folders' are for the E and F drives. I'm just about to add the E drive to the desktop settings before going any further

Hmm is it possible you forgot click ok? And not just click outside the popup window. When adding E drive.

Hello @softworkz the update meanwhile released, but I am seeing no change in behavior regarding resuming web streams.

Resuming still doesn’t work on current version

Okay, the laptop is still scanning, but I just checked on my desktop PC where it was all setup before, and IT only shows the F drives in the library settings, after I changed it to E on my laptop. So for whatever reason, it looks like it's still going by what it says on my desktop PC to find the files. Once the laptop is done updating, I'll see if I can hook the drive back into my PC in 'E', set it up to use F and E just like the laptop, then move the drive back to the laptop and see if it works I have no idea HOW this is happening but it seems to be happening. I definitely set the library to E on my laptop, I KNOW that, and I'm in the process of adding F back in, the laptop shows '2 folders', but the desktop only shows 'F'

Sure there is you just need to add the extra drive / folder to Emby library. But right now Emby is seeing all your files at F driver when you try to play movies. Which tells me that Emby has not finished removing from F drive and adding them to E drive or that you have not added E: to your libraries. And I did not see any attempt to finde E: 2026-06-28 06:27:24.025 Info LibraryMonitor: Skipping realtime monitor for F:\Movies because the path is currently not available 2026-06-28 06:27:24.026 Info LibraryMonitor: Skipping realtime monitor for F:\TV Shows because the path is currently not available

I've set the drive itself to F, and I'm also setting the libraries back to F, but is there really no way of changing that internally? Because I was looking to get another drive anyway, so E and F would both have 2tb of storage available for more content. So if I end up having to move something over to E (say, 'movies'), is this going to be at all doable? It's taking a minute to scan all the content on the laptop, so I'll update when I have a result

11:32:33.150 F:\Movies\Untouchables\The Untouchables (1987).mp4: No such file or directory Emby can't find you F drive. I would change the drive letter back to F:

I just opened it all up again, tried to play my copy of 'The Untouchables', same error, these four logs were generated at the same minute when I tried. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-directstream-57373f73-4036-4647-a032-afcc155ef90c_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-31c32575-3a3b-436c-bda2-79fef85af98e_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-83fea902-b67e-4825-aa68-2e702489b4b9_1.txt

Try with the most recent after you recreated the issue.

Hi everyone, I’m opening a new thread because I didn’t want to hijack older OPPO/Xnoppo-related discussions. I’ve been working on a project called Home Cinema Control (HCC). The idea is simple: Use Emby as the library and browsing interface, but let an OPPO / Chinoppo player handle the actual playback locally through SMB/NFS path mapping. So instead of trying to make Emby transcode or stream content to a device that may not handle certain formats properly through DLNA/client playback, HCC acts as a bridge: Emby library → HCC → SMB/NFS path mapping → OPPO/Chinoppo local playback The project is inspired by the same kind of workflow that Xnoppo made useful for OPPO/Chinoppo users, but the goal is to make it more modern, maintained, Docker-friendly and easier to configure through a web UI. Current focus: Emby integration. OPPO / Chinoppo playback target. SMB/NFS path mapping. Docker deployment. Web configuration UI. Playback reporting back to Emby where possible. Clear logs and diagnostics. LG webOS TV control at the moment. Also supported: Better configuration for libraries, path mappings and monitored devices. Planned / under consideration: Sony / Philips / Android TV / Google TV support. Home Assistant integration. Philips Hue / Ambilight cinema scenes. Kodi / Zidoo / Dune playback targets if there is enough interest. The main use case is not to replace Emby. Quite the opposite: HCC assumes Emby remains the main library UI. The goal is to keep the comfort of browsing in Emby while using dedicated local playback hardware for users who care about: UHD remuxes. ISO / BDMV / folder-based libraries. Dolby Vision / HDR. Atmos / DTS:X / HD audio. NAS-based storage. OPPO 203/205 clones such as M9702 / M9201 / M9203 / M9205. Avoiding unnecessary transcoding. Keeping a family-friendly library interface without giving up playback quality. GitHub: https://github.com/tousled/home-cinema-control Current release / setup instructions: https://github.com/tousled/home-cinema-control/releases/tag/1.1.2 I’d really appreciate feedback from Emby users, especially anyone who: Uses or used Xnoppo. Has an OPPO / Chinoppo player. Stores movies on a NAS/Remotely through SMB or NFS. Has trouble with ISO / BDMV / full-disc playback. Wants Emby as the browsing interface but prefers external/local playback. Runs Emby in Docker, Unraid, Synology, QNAP, ASUSTOR or similar. Thanks in advance for any feedback, criticism, compatibility reports or suggestions.

Any idea which ones so I can add them here? Or would it just be the most recent ones? I've generally had few issues with Emby, this one came out of the blue.

Ok dev's will need logs

For the library files? Yes, I did.

After you moved the drive did you run a full scan?

Most peeps are going to want to use as few steps as possible to do something. This would reduce the steps and time it takes. Now that said I'm sure nothing will come of this since other half finished features have been setting for years to be finished.

Hello I've the same problem, do u have an issue ?

Hey all, running into an issue here that's completely crippled Emby on my side. I stored all my Emby content (movies and shows) on a 2tb external hard drive, to avoid them cluttering up my computer. The drive was listed as the F: drive on my computer, so all the files were accessed via F. I recently came into possession of a relative's old laptop (Win10 from 2021) and decided to make it devoted to running Emby 24/7. So I moved the external drive and plugged it into the laptop (now the E drive), then moved the programdata folder over from my appdata folder on the original computer, and moved it to the laptop as well, to the same location. Now I can access Emby on the laptop browser (Firefox, same as my desktop PC) and can see my content listed, all the movies and shows, but they're all giving the same playback error when I try to watch them. I've tested it on various movies and shows, none of them are working, all giving the same error every time, and if memory serves this actually started before I even made the move. I've checked the files are being accessed from the correct place, I updated the library to access both the E and F drives, then just the E drive on the laptop to simplify things, and it still isn't working. I'm running into the playback error message on my desktop PC and my TV, when both used to work perfectly fine, as well as the laptop itself. I use a VPN on my desktop PC, I didn't intend to use it on my laptop, but I downloaded it again anyway just to see if it worked, but even with it enabled, the issue is still here. Let me know what logs are required and I'll attach them in a reply, I just want to get this fixed because as it stands, the entire system is down for me now. TLDR: I've encountered the above error on my TV and two separate computers, it cropped up prior to moving the files, but seems to still be appearing even now

Hi, I tested with the standard Emby for Android app on the same test device/BlueStacks. Result is the same as with Emby for Android TV. When entering the server as a bare hostname: emby.example.com login fails with: Access token is invalid or expired The proxy log shows the login request as a GET: GET /emby/Users/authenticatebyname?X-Emby-Client=Emby+for+Android&X-Emby-Device-Name=SM-S908E&X-Emby-Device-Id=[redacted]&X-Emby-Client-Version=3.5.36&X-Emby-Language=en-us HTTP/2.0" 401 When entering the server explicitly as: https://emby.example.com login succeeds. The proxy log then shows the correct POST request: POST /emby/Users/authenticatebyname?X-Emby-Client=Emby+for+Android&X-Emby-Device-Name=SM-S908E&X-Emby-Device-Id=[redacted]&X-Emby-Client-Version=3.5.36&X-Emby-Language=en-us HTTP/2.0" 200 So it is not only Emby for Android TV. The standard Emby for Android app behaves the same where bare hostname fails, explicit "https://" works.

The issue is fixed for me with the latest update, thanks a bunch. tested on iPad 11 Air and iPhone 13 Pro (both with ios 26.5) Codecs tested: HEVC/hvc1, 4K/hvc1, H264/avc1, Subs (SRT) on and off.
