Hi, I have a KM9 Pro streamer running Android 10. I removed the beta version v2.1.43g and installed the stable version 2.1.29g, but the behavior is the same as I described before. Movie trailers from the Movies category play without any issues on the Android TV app (2.1.29g) using the same setup. However, when I try to play a YouTube STRM file, the video does not start and the app freezes. I then need to force close the app from the Android settings and open it again.

Same thing. Weird eh?

@DarWunI forgot to write. You can use the backup feature to hasten the re-detection.

Any idea why my music stopped playing twice today? I was using the web app in Firefox. ffmpeg-transcode-e50de0df-e5d7-4a9b-9132-a424844b83b1_1.txtffmpeg-transcode-42355d9a-fc5f-4330-9211-72f58bfabbd7_1.txtembyserver.txtembyserver(1).txt

That's not what I'm trying to discuss. I'm trying to get to the bottom of something that appears to only be happening to you and I cannot explain it. Do you know if maybe this only happens when you have done that exact thing - moved to play and then moved back to resume and quickly clicked?

I have emby working on a Synology NAS, and usually use a Roku device to play shows and everything works fine. But if I do try to play something in a web browser on my computer, it doesn't really work. It takes several minutes of a spinning "busy" circle before it begins playing, and then playback is extremely choppy. Is this a limitation of how emby works with a NAS? Or a setting I should change? If this is a problem inherent to trying to transmit data from the NAS to a browser, that's OK, I'm just curious to know if I've missed something. Thanks! embyserver.txt

Hi. Did you try restarting the app? What version of the app?

I'm currently working on a play count for all users, so with that you almost get what you are looking for. I might look into adding watchtime aswell. Will be in the next update Working on this right now, will be in the next release. We do still need it if you use external list for example, or local collection. Thank you! And thanks for trying it out!

No.

Hi. Okay, but same question...

Hi. Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares? Thanks.

You can also enable "stats for nerds" on the device it is being played on to see this.

There used to be a "split apart" option and that would do at least part of what you want, if it still exists. Also you can edit the metadata of either movie to make them show up as unique.

In the NFO, or in the Emby GUI? If I lock it in the Emby GUI, I would expect that to prevent it from ingesting the change to the NFO, which is the opposite of what I want—not to mention that the whole reason I'm editing the NFO in the first place is that it's a multi-version film and I can't edit this version in the Emby GUI, so locking anything in the Emby GUI won't have any effect on what I'm doing.

Scroll down when on movie detail screen, click "Split Versions apart" button.

Go to Dashboard on Emby and you can see what is being played and if the stream is being transcoded or direct played. Typically transcoding happens if subtitles are enabled, or if the quality setting is set lower than the source video. There are tricks to get the Apple TV to direct play when it typically would transcode so if that is the issue I can help you with that.

I have a rated R movie, and a fan edit of the same movie that has been cleaned to make it PG-13. both Movies are in separate folders un a Movies folder and after the library scanned files it just included the new file as a different version of the original rated R movie, How can I make it distinct from the rated-R version to change the rating to PG-13, I have the folders separate and named differently. After I identified the movie it then again consumed it just as a version under the existing movie so I don't see how I can update the details for the PG-13 version. Thoughts?

@NabukodonosorHave you changed movie locations or replaced any movie files?

thx @alex77777i dont think so (is there a definitive way to check)?

Je sais que c'est la bêta. Je n'ai pas écrit que je n'étais pas en bêta. Ça doit être la traduction auto

I'm curious, Is the stream being transcoded in anyway when she watches on her devices?

4.10.0.5 is a beta release

No dude, I just moved it so you can see I moved it back and clicked on the Resume button. I really can't believe we have to discuss weather I know how to click a button or not. You can clearly see I moved it back to the resume button and you can hear the click. Let's move pass this.

Tat, Consider you may have a collection of media that has not perhaps been conformed to all one standard and limited to specific codecs and bandwidth that are compatible and works for your hardware and for all your users. Yes, of course, Emby's advantage is that it can take care of that for you. But there can be limits. Maybe some of your media has timeline errors that only show up if you run a error probe check. Or some of your media might have a combination of high bit rate, high frames per second, high end audio and graphic subtitles all at once. This combination can be handled by Emby... but some server capacity and bandwidth for some remote users with different players and networks might NOT work 100%. OK, I understand you do not want have to test, remux or renecode your content, so it's all within some limit to make sure everyone can view it. But if you did do that, your issues might go away. Emby is suppose to be able to handle that. All online commercial streaming sites already do this automatic remux and limits all of their content, before any media even appears on their site. You are asking Emby to handle all the options that is not even done by any competitive service. Plex doesn't offer that. I believe Plex uses their servers. Online Netflix, Hulu, or Prime doesn't do that, their content is all remuxed and tested. I think that getting to the bottom what you're experiencing is that you are pushing the limits, beyond what can be expected to be handled automatically for every case on every media combination. If you want less errors, for the most part, you should use media that has bandwidth limits, specific audio codec and limited subtitle types so your media is more consistent. Using media that has many differnet issues, that might even have some uncaught file or timeline errors is always going to cause your streaming to run into problems.
