When this happens for me, I just reboot the machine.

here's my settings, don't see a "screen grabber" choice but thanks for jumping in I still don't understand how having a cover png attachment on my mkv's plays in, is it ever even used for anything?

I downloaded this: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-windows/releases/download/3.0.20/emby-theater-x64.zip Then unzipped to a new folder and ran Emby.Theater.exe

Hi, what exactly was played, at what time, and with what device/app?

Thanks for the feedback !

Hi, this is good, right?

How exactly did you do a fresh install?

What are your library enabled image fetchers and in what order? Neither TVDB nor TMDB have images for episodes after S03E06, so no thumbs could be downloaded, wild guess would be you have Screen Grabber disabled?

Attached is logs. From reading other posts I see it could be described as the server is unresponsive to users some time after authenticating. embyserver.txt

Hi Luke, Reviving this thread - I have issues accessing my server remotely sometimes, when accessed from a TV app or phone app it sometimes refuses to connect, and will just happen to start working 5 or so minutes later, but not always the case. It is running on a windows 10 PC, connecting via emby connect only. I have the pc set to always on and never sleep, I use Parsec to remote into the computer and each time it is up and running just fine & will end up working on the remote app access after a few minutes being on the Parsec connection. Is this an issue with Windows? Would it be easier to transition to linux? Also, side note, I found a bug where while the TV app could not connect it defaulted to the server select screen, I accidentally "removed this server" and was unable to re-add the server with emby connect or direct connect. I was forced to remove the user from my server and re-add them and their email address, it then worked as expected. I see this as a bug and want to report it! Also also, if I were to upload a log file, which one would that be? the embyserver.txt? Thank you, Jared

@jeffstifiedThere's a new Dev version 2.1.7.5 in the plugin catalog that you have to install manually. With that version, enable debug logging in the plugin settings, create or edit a VirtualTV channel, select or change the Emby Library User in the channel settings and send me the log after that.

thx @alex77777 will try that during the weekend and report back!

@hdsuisseThere's a new Dev version 2.1.7.5 in the plugin catalog that should fix your problems. I've also added a new playback mode "Native (Live)". Maybe that is a better alternative to "Continuous Playback"?! Please test that version after manual install from the plugin catalog and report your findings.

Was not the solution. It showed correctly, and going into and playing the initial episode, it worked. However when it auto-played the next episode it went to the 1st subtitle in the list instead of the default.

@Zeltak Did you check to see if any of her streams are being transcoded? I also wanted to try a different test, Can you try disabling audio and video transcoding, as well as changing of container format for only her user and see if improves playback on the Apple TV (this may cause issues on other devices but Ive solved playback issues on my Apple TV this way).

Ah, that simplifies the content of .embyignore. Thanks, Luke. Unfortunately, this still means I have to put the .embyignore files up one level from the folder I want to hide… but of course, not any higher than the library root folders. It seems rather a shortcoming of this new system that it no longer supports any way for a folder to designate itself as ignored. Consider it a feature request, I guess.

That's nteresting, very insightful. Is using 443 as the remote port fine or has that been a mistake? I'm by no means an expert, I just thought I needed this for SSL.

That IP relates to some ISP in France, can’t jump to conclusions as someone may have hacked them and then piggy backed off their equipment. Interesting it does look like a static IP for some home broadband. Anyway, this is more reason not to use the default Emby ports for remote users. It’s trivial to scan large ranges of home broadband connections for ports 8096 and 8920. Once you find the Emby login pages it’s then just about brute force. This same IP address was caught scanning for FTP servers a few years ago….so they have form for this kind of activity. Again, everyone should change their port forwarding settings so the outside port is randomly in the 20,000-65,000 range. Its not foolproof but anyone going to the lengths of scanning thousands of random ports isn’t doing it to find Emby servers.

Many, many thanks. Still nice to have permission! I will be sure to write in the plugin that it's inspired by Chapter API!

its open source, as long as you follow the license its all good.

I see this is an older post but I was going to post about this over in the iOS Beta forum but thought I would just add to this existing one. @LukeI am seeing this behavior on the beta app for iOS. If I start a playlist, pause playing, exit the app and completely close it (ie, swiping up on the app on the iOS screen to fully close it) then re-open the app it doesn't remember I was mid a playlist. Same thing with a single song outside of a playlist but I usually just listen to playlists, not a single song. But I tried it just out of curiousity. It's the same behavior as above whether I am listening directly on the phone or using it via Carplay. Every other app I have tried to play back music with will remember the position except Emby. Have been trying to use a 3rd Pary app but I have other issues with that one so I would rather be able to just use the native Emby app.

To be honest I did not find it yet, It seem random too like some movies start after 2s and some take over 5s so yeah....

Hi, what is the exact issue that you're having?

Yes, it was the same. But I didn't post anything that would allow them to connect to me or identify me, no API keys or addresses in my one log. edit: unless I did post that stuff in my log and it's super obvious and I'm not seeing it, I'd love for someone to correct me on that. Not even being sarcastic.
