Yes lools like it, but it appears automatically without me doing anything. No matter what I select it comes back in a loop.

May I ask if the problem has been successfully located? Is there anything I can assist in providing

ok so this is normal.. great

Still no fix for this? How many years should we be expected to wait? It used to work flawlessly. Searches on the issue just lead us back to this thread, where no meaningful solutions have been provided.

hi can you please share the instructions on how we can do this

Google TV--- ROKU -- I noticed that on the ROKU Emby app the DIRECTOR is in between the GENRE and END TIME, but on the GOOGLE TV app the DIRECTOR is missing??

Bonjour, Vers la fin de chaque fichier video, court ou plus long, l'image et le son saccadent. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi. Je n'avais pas ce problème avant. C'est vraiment pénible. Auriez-vous une idée du pourquoi ? Je vous remercie.

@kingomthe newest beta does fix it. We are waiting on them to roll it to stable.

Hello, I have a TV Series (Top Gear 2002) that cannot be found via the web browser/roku/ios via the favorites/series library/folders menu but can be searched for and played. I have tried rescanning/restarting/vacuum database and still the same, not showing anywhere but search. Edit1: I moved the series folder out of the library, did a scan and then added it back, did a scan...iniitally it sees the series now in the TV Series library, but as the scan finishes, it gets removed and I end up back at the initial issue. Emby Server: 4.10.0.40 Any thoughts?? Thanks!

I just stumbled on this when adding an OTA tuner, but I have no idea how to use it. Almost looks like we can connect Emby to streaming channels. I imagine we need an M3U? How exactly do we generate an M3U for Amazon and Plex?

HI, yes as soon as we have a new build up to test, we'll add you at that time. Thanks.

Search is still slow

Just a follow up - I've been on the road a lot lately, so when I have been home, I haven't had time or energy to post, but have tried every time I'm back - and still having the same issue. tonight, I updated to the latest beta available, same issue. I found the old long-running version out there, 2.1.23, and installed it. Now everything works again. Just letting you know. I'm happy to try additional things to help solve this, if you want.

OK this sounds like an older installation where we used to swallow the movie folder layer so that you wouldn't see it in folder view. This was removed a while back. Your existing libraries are left as is, but when you create a new one, it follows the newer convention where the folder layer is represented now.

Yes sorry.

@LukeI’m a bit confused. Was this intended for a different thread?

Are you sure it's not related to the server hosting the content? Also look through your log at all of the entries starting with Debug LibraryMonitor: Change detected Quite a bit of your files are being updated outside of emby, and the server's realtime monitor is kicking off lots of scanning activity in the background in response to those changes.

great, thanks!

It can be sporadic; but right now I can duplicate it on a particular show/episode - but how best to send you what you need? The STRM file has my credentials; is there another part of the log/or other type that might show something useful? I appreciate the effort very much.

I'm also having issues with background fanart. I initially thought something broke on my end, so I did a completely fresh install by downgrading Kodi from 22 beta 2 to 21.3 and reinstalling the latest version of the add-on, but the problem persists. I'm using the Arctic Zephyr Martian skin, and my background fanart is completely black. The only exception is if I use a view mode that specifically features the fanart front and center, then they load fine for some reason. Otherwise, backgrounds stay black. If I switch to Estuary, open a specific movie, and let its fanart load there, that fanart will suddenly start working as a background back in Arctic. However, it only works for the specific movies I’ve manually loaded this way, while everything else remains black. Even in Estuary, things aren't fully working. On the main home screen, items under "In Progress", "Newly added" etc won't show fanart initially. I have to go into the Movies library, navigate to that specific movie so its fanart triggers, and then go back to the main page. Only then does it display properly. It started in the recent days and I would assume it was with an update. Never had this issue before and I'm not sure where the issue is

That is a lot but for just one series I wouldn’t worry about it.

To say that “it doesn't [handle locked items]” indicates, to me, that it skips those items.

Thanks, great info. I'm just debating if it's worthwhile to manually edit the show itself and remove all the people that got added, and then lock the people section. It's a reality show so they are people that are never going to show up in any other content and it feels wasteful. If it's mostly harmless, I can keep it. But 750 felt like a big number and the impact to the server at the time definitely made me concerned.

It's not something you should have to worry about. No because on initial import we get the actor name and image from the movie or series metadata. We don't do an individual person lookup until you click on them. So that's an on-demand process, not an up front one. Your database probably has more rows of person objects than any other type, so yes, in extreme cases they can impact overall browsing performance, search performance, etc. But that is extreme cases only. What we'd like to do at some point is give them a little more separation in the database so that don't have any impact on these things.

Every movie, TV show, and actor is an item to lookup. So 750 actors is like 750 movies when it comes to lookup. They are each a separate item for which Emby needs data and a picture, and for some no data exists. Plus there are limits for the number of lookup's in a day from some providers. Once they are in the database they are in the database. Emby can use one instance of the actor data for many shows. When you dump that many on it it may slowdown for a while.
