Well, I assume it's the same for coreelec, but not tested. btw, you can even lower the value to MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=2. Actually, that's what I'm currently using.

@quickmic, many thanks for sharing this. I'm running LibreELEC on a MeLe mini PC (Intel Celeron N5105 with 4GB RAM) where it was frequently crashing on scraping content. I was checking Kodi's log, and then dmesg to frequently find out of memory kills of kodi.bin. Everywhere I searched, on Kodi forums, "experts" were suggesting primarily upgrading to a higher end media box with more memory! I stumbled on your post today, tried your fix. While it doesn't completely fix the problem with running out of memory, MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=8 certainly helped the scraping get far ahead from where and how frequently it used to crash earlier. So fewer crashes now. A simple modification like this just proves bugs like these are what the Kodi and/or *ELEC teams should be focusing on priority, instead of piling more "features"! Would you know if it's modifying /storage/.config/kodi.conf on CoreELEC as well? If not, could you suggest the right file? I created an account here and wanted to post this as a testimony that your research was fruitful. So, thanks again, and may your post help others who are suffering as well. Cheers.

Pour le couo c’est le tf1 720 qui marche de mon cote mais ca lag pas mal

Just to say thanks. Apple TV update has fixed a number of issues. Libararies are now showing correctly. Direct play is now wokring on movies instead of transcoding.

Hi, we have this feature already. In your Library options enable saving nfo files and saving images to media folders.

Hello, I recently started using Emby and I created a whole library with collections replaced images and looked up information on the Internet for all my movies and TV shows. I had to move all of my files over to a larger drive only for Emby to lose all of the work that I did hours upon hours. Could you please make a way for MB to retain all of this information so people don’t have to do everything all over again every time they change a directory or change a drive.. I lost all my collections. Everything I went in and all my movies and TV shows were all in one big slapping nest.. also, could you make a way for you to be able to select multiple movie files or TV show files and change images all at once instead of having to do them individually that would save a great deal of time. it’s really discourages people from doing something like this and putting this much work into something only to lose it just like that. And then when you wanna go edit TV shows you have to edit each episode all one by one instead of being able to select a bunch of them at once and edit them all at the same time. not being able to select multiples and replacing images for all of them all at once you have to do it all one at a time..

More fool me for not seeing that setting for editing the user Avatar - thanks for bringing it to my attention! The client I'm using is the Windows client; I've attached a couple of screenshots to show what is happening - pretty much every transition between video's it shows the pop-up for the refresh rate. It also happens when moving between TV show episodes and movies, however it is obviously much more noticeable with music video's which change every few minutes.

1) 2) Never seen this, what client?

Almost two years after this thread (which, itself, was a continuation of an older thread) and the problem is still there... Meanwhile a myriad of players have popped up on every platform, and most -if not all- of them support audio delay adjustment because, of course, it's such a basic feature.

Two and a half years after this thread was opened, for something seemingly simple to fix...

Hi All, I have a couple of quick questions: Firstly: is there a way I can set a profile image for a user on Emby Server, or are the profile images only able to be set by the users themselves? Secondly: when playing music video's, frequently the refresh rate of the videos changes fro video to video and a pop-up appears on the screen announcing the new refresh rate. Is there a way to disable this pop-up notification? Thanks! Kev

Web UI seems ok on .22, from Android App still seems to lock up the server for others.

OMG! Thanks! I was bumming. I would have never thought to look in the web interface settings to remove it from the Apple TV interface. I was looking everywhere in the Apple TV app.

Just change "Live TV" to None

I appreciate the recent work on this. In my initial testing of 22 I do feel a moderate improvement, but still a handful of searches (mostly small/common words) will timeout, and will hold up the server while searching (although the timeout limit seems to be reduced, leading to less time blocking the server for others). I do like the recently searched section though! Not sure when that was added, but it does seem to have a few issues I can post in a different thread. The loading of this list alone takes almost 15 seconds for me, so that kinda seems like it might add to the timeouts if a search happens before this list loads. I'm still continuing to test and collect feedback from my other users.

Things like this is why I left Plex. I'm not interested in live TV. Yet, this is front and center and can't be removed.

Can we get this on the roadmap? It's been like 7 or 8 months now.

Kind of looks ok now or maybe I just got used to it. Can be disregarded.

Hi, this has been added as part of the upcoming 4.10 release. Thanks.

Hi, no, this isn't true. They are not related to each other. The upcoming 4.10 release will have more control over home screen sections.

@LonelyCat?

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Many times there are no thumbnails for a movie or TV show but there are backgrounds in TMDB can be used for it but Emby doesn't search TMDB for thumbnails as fast as I know. Just an example is Spider Man Brand New Day: If you select English or whatever you have backgrounds with text in English, which can be used as thumbnails. I hate manually adding thumbnails via this method and hope Emby can incorporate this as it wouldn't require much coding to get this going. Thanks!

Here's a polished Emby Community forum post that would fit well in the Tools & Utilities section. It explains what the project is, who it's for, and gives users enough information to get started without overwhelming them. EmbyVision OCR (GPU Edition) — NVIDIA GPU Accelerated OCR for Emby Credits Detector Hello everyone! I'm excited to share EmbyVision OCR (GPU Edition), a standalone OCR microservice designed specifically to work alongside the Emby Credits Detector plugin. EmbyVision OCR uses PaddleOCR with NVIDIA CUDA acceleration to provide fast, AI-powered text recognition from video frames, helping improve end credit detection while significantly reducing OCR processing time compared to CPU-based solutions. What is EmbyVision OCR? EmbyVision OCR is a lightweight REST API that performs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on video frames. Instead of relying on traditional OCR engines, it uses PaddleOCR's deep-learning models running on your NVIDIA GPU for improved speed and recognition accuracy. The service runs independently in Docker and integrates directly with the Emby Credits Detector plugin. Features NVIDIA GPU accelerated OCR CUDA + cuDNN support AI-powered PaddleOCR engine Fast OCR processing Designed specifically for Emby Credits Detector Docker deployment Persistent AI model storage Automatic model downloads REST API Self-hosted Privacy focused Works great on Unraid Requirements This edition requires: NVIDIA GPU NVIDIA Driver NVIDIA Container Toolkit Docker Emby Server Emby Credits Detector plugin Docker Image Sizes CPU Edition: • Image: ghcr.io/encryptedcity/embyvision-ocr:latest • Size: 1.89 GB • Requirements: Any Docker host • GPU: Not required • CUDA/NVIDIA Runtime: Not required GPU Edition: • Image: ghcr.io/encryptedcity/embyvision-ocr-gpu:latest • Size: 8.34 GB • Requirements: NVIDIA GPU + Container Toolkit • CUDA acceleration enabled Not Supported This edition will NOT work with: AMD GPUs Intel GPUs / Arc CPU-only systems If you do not have an NVIDIA GPU, please use the CPU Edition instead.

Connecting Emby Inside the Emby Credits Detector plugin, configure the OCR server: http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8001 Example: http://192.168.1.100:8001 Then click Test Connection. If everything is configured correctly, the plugin will begin using EmbyVision OCR automatically. Privacy Everything runs locally.

Feature requests, bug reports, testing feedback, and suggestions are all welcome. If you give it a try, I'd love to hear how it performs on your hardware and whether it improves credit detection in your libraries. Happy scanning!
