Update to the above... so I had a dog, and his name was BINGO! I thought the episode I posted above had the audio transcoded to FLAC, but what I forgot was that the tool I used only does it for lossless tracks and ignores AC3. Doi! But what it DID do was rename the file slightly and THAT made a difference here! My TV shows are normally named like this: The Addams Family | S1 E1 - The Addams Family Goes to School The Addams Family | S1 E2 - Morticia and the Psychiatrist And so on. The tool I used to try transcoding the audio replaced that | character with I instead in the output file. This is what actually effected change. Not only am I now getting audio like I should be with the AC3 track, but it's not getting flagged immediately as watched as soon as I start playing. I should mention I normally do get the audio when using Infuse, but it was silent with Emby. I had been assuming this was an Emby player issue with some audio formats, which I thought was really odd that it couldn't decode AC3 of all things. But nope... just the file naming scheme threw a monkey wrench in all of this. I just did a little more testing. I thought I wasn't getting resume points yet, but I simply hadn't played to the 30% mark for that to kick in. Some tweaking of the settings should get me to where I need to be. Problem SOLVED! Thanks for sticking in there with me.

Well it seems that this issue is back again. I just uploaded a new show to my server and it would not allow me to identify it so I checked a few other movies as well as TV shows and they are not able to identify or select photos for anything again. Do you know if the issue is back again?

Any chance of Emby on Panasonic TV's? models TH-43FX600Z and TH-55FX600Z!! Or am I dreaming?

Hi, I’m trying to understand how Emby uses embedded MKV chapters to show the Skip Intro button and whether there is a similar way to trigger the end credits / next episode button from MKV chapter names. I have an anime episode with embedded MKV chapters created/visible in MKVToolNix. The original chapter structure is: Prologue 00:00:00 Opening 00:01:02 Episode 00:02:31 Credits Start 00:22:14 Credits End 00:23:43 When I import this episode into Emby and refresh metadata, Emby correctly shows the Skip Intro button at the Opening chapter time. When I click the button, it jumps to the Episode chapter time. In the Emby chapters tab, I can also see the normal MKV chapters: Prologue, Opening, Episode, Credits Start, and Credits End. When I check the same episode in the Chapter API plugin, I can see that Emby/Chapter API has created or detected special intro markers: Iniciar intro Type: IntroStart 00:01:01.691 Finalizar intro Type: IntroEnd 00:02:31.243 The normal MKV chapters still appear as type Chapter. This confirms that Emby is somehow able to use the embedded MKV chapter structure to create or detect the intro skip markers. What I cannot get working is the end credits button. I tried renaming the final chapters in the MKV in several ways: Credits Start CreditsStart Credits End End But Emby still keeps them as normal Chapter entries and does not create a CreditsStart / StartCredit marker. The end credits / next episode button does not appear at 00:22:14, which is where the credits actually start. In Chapter API, I can see that CreditsStart is a valid type in the dropdown. My question is: Is there a specific MKV chapter name, format, marker type, or metadata structure that Emby recognizes to automatically create a real CreditsStart / StartCredit marker from embedded MKV chapters? What I want is this: Embedded MKV chapter: Credits Start 00:22:14 to be recognized automatically by Emby as: CreditsStart / StartCredit marker at 00:22:14 without manually editing every episode one by one in Chapter API. I know Chapter API can add CreditsStart manually, but I have many episodes and I don’t want to manually edit each episode. I’m looking for a way to make Emby recognize the credits start from the MKV chapters during metadata refresh or chapter scan. Is this currently possible? If not, is there any server setting, naming convention, scheduled task, plugin, or supported workflow that can automatically convert embedded MKV chapters like Credits Start into real Emby CreditsStart markers? Thanks.

Turns out, there was enough of a change to the Emby app in the last update that TinyWall no longer detected it as the same app and was preventing net access. I had to re-enable access for Emby.

You could try resetting your Windows Network settings as that's the only thing I can think of that I didn't try. You can do this with the following steps: Open the "Settings" app. Click on "Network and internet" Click on "Advanced network settings" Click "Network reset" then "reset now".

You don't even need a service, mine is just plain old EmberServer.exe in startup in windows. Maybe uncheck this button may help?

I think OP is missing the name of the show in the episode file names, he just has for example S01E01 episode name If you follow the guide: https://emby.media/support/articles/TV-Naming.html Better call Saul for example, should look like this: Better Call Saul - 1x01 - Uno.mkv

Coming back 4 years later. Upgraded to a new 85" TV same Fetch box. Same DLNA issue remains and now can't preview trailers on Sony Bravua ( will raise a separate post on this). Did I miss anything in another thread on DLNA?

@NeminemI'll try that and report back. Do you have any idea why it needs to transcode in the first place, though? I thought Roku TV could do HLS 4K HEVC just fine.

Tesseract and PaddleOCR does note have an Unraid template so you need to manually add them in Unraid's docker section. @Neminem Made a great guide for PaddleOCR. Please note: It takes up A LOT of space, 25GB+ of docker space. unRaid PaddleOCR setup guide. · yocksers/EmbyCredits · Discussion #5 There is also a guide for installing them in the plugin it self, there you can see how to install Tesseract or PaddleOCR. Tesseract is a lot smaller but a little less accurate and slower but nothing major.

Same setup here — Synology + browser was rough until I checked transcoding. Roku often direct plays, but the browser was forcing transcode on weaker NAS hardware. Worth checking Dashboard → Activity while it plays: if you see “Transcoding,” try a Chrome/Firefox test, enable hardware acceleration if your box supports it, or pick a lower-bitrate profile for web clients. Not a NAS limitation so much as browser + transcode load. Hope Luke’s team can narrow it down from your logs.

Hi, perhaps this is what you are looking for: in my setup, the '3-dot button' only appears upon hover, when you already have an image. There's 3 options in the drop down for selecting an image. When you don't have an image, a '+' button is there, which directly brings up this option: Primary, Logo, Thumb, Banner, Disc, Art, Backdrops all have the same options. Maybe have a play around with the GUI a bit and see if it helps with what you need. Cheers!

@speechlesI did try setting this to "yes" and it still got stuck in a transcode loop. Honestly forget whether I had switched it back before I ran the test that generated the logs above but I can share some where it's definitely allowing 60fps if that might help. It's transcoding 1080p and 720p channels, too, though, and I'm not clear why it should need to especially since I'm now feeding it HLS to start with (the diffrence is at least those transcodes work fine).

I did this years back and after a few niggles back and forth, its o=been over a year stable on the unified client - but all my TV's are on my LAN. I commented to a friend that he was transcoding something I do not, and after comparing the playback settings, decided that he should try the unified client instead. So he installed the androidTV, then installed the Emby for Android. After config, he then got a full blue screen saying 'Unrecognised GUID format' An AI search said this was die to cache stuff being left behind, so he cleared all that n the client, and I cleared the device on the server. Then he gets a message about the ssl cert, and after clicking OK on that, he gets the guid error again. Any ideas here ? The poor guy is recovering from hospital and really needs his access to emby. Screenshots are attached. This is why it was not direct playing from the logs - 2026-06-14 16:20:44.119 Info MediaInfoService-0HNM9NFP6N551:00000005: User policy for x-MikePullan.

Si esta todo traducido ¿porque me falla a mi?, un saludo.

I maybe dreaming, but wasnt IP in the list of details before when looking Users as admin? Cant find it.

Please post a screenshot of what you filled in on that page.

Hi, While in Emby app I see User name and under that, 1. Switch Server. 2. Sign out 3. Unlock App. I can sign out, which drops me out of Emby on Shield and then selecting Emby it opens again. But don't see anywhere to remove and add back in a server.

Yes.

Not to derail this thread but I hope you know that as an Ugoos AM6b+ owner you can run the avdvplus fork of CoreELEC that would allow you to do LLDV including full FEL rendering to your non DV capable projector. This would be much better than using on the fly P7 to P8.1 conversion as that process drops the DV P7 enhancement layers. You can connect CoreELEC to your Emby library one of a few different ways, see the Kodi addons.

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to develop and maintain this amazing plugin, I'm running everything on Unraid, how can i install this and the OCR? i didn't find them or any docker compose Thanks!

That's true for collections. For people it was already added with version 4.6.

This is unrelated to whatever issue you are having with playback. Try signing out, remove the server and the add it back and sign back in again.
