Hi Luke. Wow... it seems like I've upset several people here. I'm so sorry. It looks like several folks are mad at me for not providing logs, but I just didn't have the time. My mother had an emergency "episode" and I had to abandon all my own issues to assist her. I'm very sorry that I didn't do a better job of reporting and providing additional information for my problem. I hope the community will forgive me and I promise to do better the next time.

What do I need to enter in PuTTY to run my script manually in this way? Sorry, since I don't speak English, I'm using a translator. Unfortunately, I accidentally copied the first question in German instead of English into the window above. Therefore, here it is again in English.

Was muss ich in Putty eingeben um mein Script auf diese Weise manuell ausführen zu lassen? I set it up as a crontab. echo "0 * * * * /bin/sh share/SSL-Certificate/CertRenew.sh" >> /mnt/HDA_ROOT/.config/crontab

I tried this also. Nothing happens when I click on storage, but other paths like (network) etc open fine. I am willing to screen share; is it possible to have a look?

The client app. On boot, all I get a black screen and a mouse pointer. But connect networking, and it works fine.

An exact example; Create a Playlist within Emby called chill mix Scan the folder Playlists The chill mix playlist appears in the playlist folder within emby Go to the amazon dot and use the following command Alexa, ask mb home to play the playlist chill mix The reply is ether the requested media is not in the library. Or This media type can not be played on this device.

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

They are two different functions. You use refresh metadata to refetch metatadata based on existing information. Identify is used to fetch based on updated information.

Everything plays fine within the emby app both web and Android My only problem is with my Amazon dots and alexa

@bardx?

Can you please provide an exact example?

What happens when you play this playlist in the emby web app?

I would suggest using movie db id's instead since the server uses MovieDb for metadata. Imdb is not a free or open data source. If you enter the imdb id, the server will try to look that up on moviedb, but sometimes moviedb doesn't have that imdb id in their database.

Those you have to handle manually, but you can generally avoid them with good file naming.

hi, do you mean the server or the client app?

What you may also want to do is use a public facing router port that is different from the default port number. That will make your server a little harder to discover.

and this shows path options - including one for a USB HDD as well as the internal

OK this is odd. Are you able to get it to happen again with a new movie? Were these automatic collections or did you create them manually?

HI, it does not download all languages, only the ones that you checked in library options. can you please show us how you configured the options for the library?

Example

Settings -> Library Choose the library and scroll down until you find: Set language.

If the media is on the Nvidia Shield and Emby Server is also on the same Nvidia Shield then you ought to use local filesystem paths and not unc with ip address

I ran the subtitle download task. I did not realize this would download ALL languages. How do I delete them and make sure only English or English forced is there?

Forgive me if this has been answered, but I haven't found it. Here's my use case: I'm starting to travel a lot more for work and I wanted a portable emby instance that I could just plug into a hotel TV. I set up emby theater on a Raseberry PI 4 from the downloadable image. I then added an installation of emby server. Emby theater connects to this server manually using 127.0.0.1. It runs great, especially with a FLIRC receiver for the remote. Here's the issue: Emby instance will not initiate after boot without an attached network cord or WiFi connection. After boot, I just get a blank screen with a notification to attach a network connection on the top right corner. The entire point of this build is for it to run local only. Is there any way to prevent it from seeking a network connection?

Another data point. Today I tried watching a movie on my laptop through the webUI to see if it played fine and hopefully narrow this down to the Apple TV app. However, it failed miserably. Stuttering immediately upon start. This time at least, it was transcoding audio rather than straight direct play across the board. But still, stuttered a few times immediately, then played about 3 or 4 minutes before starting to stutter real bad to point of entirely unwatchable. So for another test, I decided to try watching the same exact movie via Jellyfin. Again still in the web UI. Movie file and Jellyfin instance are all on the same server as the Emby server. Not a single stutter at any point. Played straight through perfectly fine despite also transcoding the audio. Both Emby and Jellyfin are configured for hardware transcoding using the same NVME drive for transcoding and cache paths. Any ideas how to troubleshoot any potential configuration issues that could be causing this on the Emby side?
