I’m unable to play an MKV file that plays fine with VLC media player, which is frustrating, especially after paying for Emby premium. I’ve attached the logs. Can you please review them and let me know what the problem is? embyserver.txt

Cool you managed to somewhat duplicate that this issue though, thanks for letting me have my sanity! No clue what folder it was previously in so that's pretty hopeless. I've rescanned the entire library (doesn't take that long on my device) but the duplicates are still there. Expanding on what I've figured out so far; there do seem to be some duplications going on. The Items query returns exact duplicates when fetching the album data: [ { "Name": "Taurus", "ServerId": "XXXXXX", "Id": "156408", "CanDelete": false, "CanDownload": true, "SupportsSync": true, "RunTimeTicks": 2889733330, "IndexNumber": 1, "ParentIndexNumber": 1, "IsFolder": false, "Type": "Audio", "ParentLogoItemId": "114715", "ParentBackdropItemId": "114715", "ParentBackdropImageTags": [ "cfb85da384eb0195e89c619ee0f97a0a" ], "UserData": { "PlaybackPositionTicks": 0, "PlayCount": 0, "IsFavorite": false, "Played": false }, "PrimaryImageAspectRatio": 1, "Artists": [ "HAKEN" ], "ArtistItems": [ { "Name": "HAKEN", "Id": "114715" } ], "Composers": [], "Album": "Fauna", "AlbumId": "156476", "AlbumArtist": "HAKEN", "AlbumArtists": [ { "Name": "HAKEN", "Id": "114715" } ], "ImageTags": { "Primary": "2ed0f3becdef68ac3b3ca37029d31ca5" }, "BackdropImageTags": [], "ParentLogoImageTag": "fc6e7fcae749ed87f77874145de63fbd", "MediaType": "Audio" }, { "Name": "Taurus", "ServerId": "XXXXXX", "Id": "156498", "CanDelete": false, "CanDownload": true, "SupportsSync": true, "RunTimeTicks": 2889733330, "IndexNumber": 1, "ParentIndexNumber": 1, "IsFolder": false, "Type": "Audio", "ParentLogoItemId": "114715", "ParentBackdropItemId": "114715", "ParentBackdropImageTags": [ "cfb85da384eb0195e89c619ee0f97a0a" ], "UserData": { "PlaybackPositionTicks": 0, "PlayCount": 0, "IsFavorite": false, "Played": false }, "PrimaryImageAspectRatio": 1, "Artists": [ "HAKEN" ], "ArtistItems": [ { "Name": "HAKEN", "Id": "114715" } ], "Composers": [], "Album": "Fauna", "AlbumId": "156476", "AlbumArtist": "HAKEN", "AlbumArtists": [ { "Name": "HAKEN", "Id": "114715" } ], "ImageTags": { "Primary": "2ed0f3becdef68ac3b3ca37029d31ca5" }, "BackdropImageTags": [], "ParentLogoImageTag": "fc6e7fcae749ed87f77874145de63fbd", "MediaType": "Audio" } ] I'm now going to try to reproduce this more accurately from my end. Will keep you guys posted, thanks so far.

That IP address looks like my Mac Mini / Emby Server. I can’t say that my provider is blameless all of the time, or that my ISP never sneaks in & siphons some bandwidth, or that my VPN can be 100% counted on for consistent speed. Emby can randomly choke on a show the provider’s native app can play. It might work the next day. Finding a direct cause/effect has been impossible, but I may have stumbled upon a bit of helpful diagnostic info last night. Let's forget about the STRM files for a second... I was watching a recording using the Samsung app, & the spinning wheel of despair showed up.. Emby was behaving as if I was trying to render a 3D feature-length 3D. I switched over to my Mac Mini & popped open the (local .ts) file with VLC. The app was speedy, responsive, and the playback flawless. Does that tell you anything? Is there anything else I can try? ChatGPT was directing me to adjust transcoding settings that I couldn't actually find. Thanks for the assist...

I moved around some file which seems to have broken my server update. I have since deleted the TV shows from my storage and from emby but unfortunately still stuck at 93% for hours. For example, I had some Late Show episodes with Colbert , those I deleted from my storage first but never updated on my server. Any help would be appreciated to resolve.

Hey, the only time I had ever seen this previously is when there were two copies on an album - in same or different folders - sometimes exactly the same audio format (e.g.) mp3 and mp3 or sometimes (e.g.) mp3 and flac. But I know you are careful with what you do, so just tried to replicate now and I did find one one experimental way to get to happen with 4.10.0.3 (so far): I moved an album folder from one parent albumartist folder to another Then rescanned the new parent albumartist folder only, via the music folders menu tab Now Emby sees two sets of the songs under the album (like you are experiencing) Then rescanned the original parent albumartist folder (that doesn't have the album folder anymore) Now Emby only sees the one set of songs under the album Typically, when I modify or add new music files I scan the relevant parent folder, which mostly works. There has been some weirdness lately with the last couple of stable versions that has been difficult to replicate, but requires refreshing virtual album metadata as well. Not sure if this will help, but perhaps try just rescanning both parent folders that have been changed and see if that works? Should be much quicker than scanning your whole music library at least!... (I'm still trying a few more things)...

Why is this marked as completed?

Ok thanks. Might be interesting to test, with the changes coming to Discord. But I will wait testing it till its more mature Overview - Fluxer Still no setup guide for selfhosting.

Yeah, it's open source and can be self hosted. Looks pretty much like Discord. So, guessing it has the same URL scheme for channels, hopefully.

Can't say I have, but curious. Is fluxer selfhosted? Do you have more in about it?

Has anyone tried Fluxer yet to see if it works the same way as Discord Notifications?

v2 to better go with square theme?

Yeah this one's a real pain. When I view either duplicate items, they go to the same item ids URL, so they seem to share the same ID. They also show up twice in search results so it's not something specifically with the album's playlist. It's almost as if the entry exists in multiples in the DB which is weird considering I would assume the item ID to be a primary (unique) key. Let's see what else I can dig up.

I guess you need to reproduce it and then supply logs. If you don't have logs from that time. But no I have not see that before.

I've noticed some of my songs (or more likely, albums) are being duplicated on Emby's side. I haven't found a 1-on-1 method to reproduce, but it seems to happen to albums that are moved from one folder to another or when the parent folder is renamed. The songs from the screenshot also show the exact same path for each song. Refreshing metadata or scanning library files (per song, artist or album) doesn't remove the duplicates Moving the folder out of all of Emby's library folders, scanning (waiting for the album to be removed) and adding it back in seems to resolve the issue, but that's not a very practical workaround. Does anyone have any clue what's going on or how this can be fixed from within Emby?

Quick preview, testing the icons, the feature is not done/started yet. Will start working on it tonight.

Yup. Sorry.. I though I was in a different thread. I was in the test group for TV next but nevertheless there's other improvements Emby has made over the last 5 years that do not go unnoticed. Only the developers know how many LiveTV users there are and whether it is worth pursuing. For me? I moved on.

tvnext very much includes hdhomerun playback. not sure wha you mean by this. tvnext is live tv...

While I certainly understand this and may one day install my antenna at my new house, OTA is missing a lot of live content. Given the current state of Emby LiveTV Server Side, I'll still use Channels DVR to record if I were to do OTA.

Seems to be working now. I uninstalled and started from scratch

Hi @visproductionI have no issues of playing EAC3 Atmos on my Shield, Emby will convert it to DD anyway. This is not an issue on my end. But on Chromebook, the same media is not converted properly by Emby either to AAC or MP3. On a browser, the audio is converted to MP3 so it plays well. I just don't understand why Emby does not convert the audio to a compatible audio for Chromebook now. This was never an issue in the past.

Then that is how it will be. Nice to have other people do a little work too.

I started exploring using Emby to play my mp3 files as it had never occurred to me. I especially like that I can browse my files using my folder hierarchy. I am experiencing intermittent issues with web playback though where things get glitchy and messed up (first screenshot). Items will persist or disappear despite navigating to different areas. A browser refresh will remove many elements but random issues persist (second screenshot). https://i.imgur.com/xiTh3Wb.png Elements from multiple screens persist and pile up on each other. This happens randomly. As a side note how do I access this screen? I was just staring at the playback and it transitioned to this screen with the art on the left and track titles on the right. After a refresh the screen stabilizes but elements are missing and/or take a long time to reappear. https://i.imgur.com/C78eebT.png System Info Firefox 147.0.3 Windows 10 Media files and Emby are on an Unraid server embyserver.txt

Mine is even showing what I'm currently playing, and yes, does show up in authorized apps too. I have no idea what happened, but it works.

Personally, I'd go with both as I like uniformity - so all posters would have an icon, instead of have-have-doesn't have-have.
