I did have real-time monitoring enabled, but now have it disabled. Will see what happens

Does it crash if you set the memory limiter? I am asking this because if you have the library task trigger in emby to re-scan the library, I am wondering if the system gets out of memory? Emby itself on "some" but not all machines during a library scan runs away with memory. On my older server, it takes all 32gb of memory until it becomes unresponsive and crashes, but on my newer one stays within 2gb...

The entire playback chain has to support it. Software and hardware. If any part of the chain doesn't, you get nothing. That's why the server decaodes and resamples the audio. When using the store app, it uses mpv. mpv can do this natively. The server won't be involved. It can also bitstream the audio directly to the external audio device. This is why I wanted to see the mpv logs. That would tell me what's happening. He was comparing VLC to a browser. That was a mistake. If he used the Windows app, all of his dreams would come true.

When pigs fly. Actually might take longer than that at this rate

Hy, I got my emby-server (v4.8.11.0 with premiere) running (via Proxmox LXC with Debian 12) for a few weeks and I'm managing my metadata via TTM. Emby gets the media via SMB from an OpenMediaVault. The import with nfo's and pictures ... works fine but when changing/adding infos or pictures in Emby, these aren't wrote back to the SMB-share. Also not existing files aren't created. A problem with the permission couldn't be the point because I tried several options (guest allowed for SMB with other wrx-permission, Emby-user as owner of the complete share and recursively, ...). Normally my SMB-user "Emby" has read/write privileges for SMB and is in the group "users" which has wrx-permissions for the file-system. The Log also don't throw a permission error but an IOException. I don't know why. The folder is correct and the reread of the nfo is correct. Here is a part (just striped opensubtitle-gets) of the last try. First one ist writing vie Metadata-Manager and second one should be rereading metadata. There is also an error but it worked!? "Filme\ABBA - Der Film (1977)" is also a folder, not a file. 2025-07-05 17:35:14.507 Info Server: http/1.1 Response 200 to ^`^l ^`^m ^`^m192.168.xxx.xxx ^`^l. Time: 5ms.

Just move the .webm and .nfo file to a backup location (just in case) put the .mp4 in the folder then trigger a metadata update on episode/file via web interface.

Hi, I have a .webm file that I want to replace with a .mp4 I named it the same exact name but I'm not sure if the .nfo file is going to link up because of the new extension. Ideally just looking for a way to replace the existing file with my new one without losing metadata. What's the best advice? Thanks!

@tonyelcampeonwhat was the solution?

Yes reinstalling the beta should pick everything up again without any hassle of starting over.

Please see if this in an improvement. EmbyIcons.dll

You can kinda make it look like the browser supports DTS-MA. Install the DTS program from the Microsoft store and enable it and that makes the PC support that format, this still requires HDMI. This does however not make the browser support it, so it will have DTS-MA converted to something compatible and then Windows will then output that in DTS-MA after. VLC will work because it supports passthrough with HDMI, this will simply pass on the audio to the actual speakers to be decoded there. Browsers do not support audio passthrough. DTS for headphones works without any HDMI but browsers still don't support it. Afaik the only way to get DTS to work is using a dedicated program, that goes for Jellyfin too. However.. Jellyfin might have an edge in transcoding DTS as the method in Emby (for me) just causes long stutters in the video no matter what device i use when transcoding.

@visproduction @ebr Updated the app on the nVidia Shield. The app on the smartphone and tablet were both updated. No improvement at all. Attached the log. The movie is "terremoto del secolo" or "the quake" embyserver (2).txt

Hello and thank you for the suggestion.. do you suggest i reinstall the beta version then? regards

The requested info was delivered to @TheNewElijah

Kro, Okay... If you disconnect the HDMI cable, then the VLC playback probably will no longer be in surround DTS. That would explain what is going on. I think you need the audio DTS-X media to stream through HDMI to get your surround. Emby only outputs through HDMI, if you have a hardware encoder. It will not, as far as I know, push out through a server direct HDMI output port. Emby streams using TCP packets over Ethernet or Wifi, except if you run it through a hardware board like Nvidia Shield. Anyone, correct me if I got that wrong? Are you able to playback your DTS-X in some other way, besides VLC through HDMI?

Not anymore. i fixed it pretty fast a long time ago

It does not exist on TMDB or TVDB so where should it come from? Haunting Trophies - TheTVDB.com Haunting Trophies — The Movie Database (TMDB) OMDB is English only and has that media. But does not always get listed image.

This SQL error suggests you Downgraded from Beta to Release. SQLiteException: Error: no such column: Album - select Since there is a Database change this cannot be done without starting over ie deleting current databases. Otherwise you have to reinstall current Beta 4.9.x.x.x.

Per your settings you will not get a bif file as you have it set to Chapter Markers not Interval Images. Once you change that you will be given a option to where to save the bif files.

Looks like a network issue as you cannot talk to TVDB or MovieDB servers. Oddly enough you are talking to Emby admin server. 2025-07-05 16:19:25.609 Error HttpClient: Connection to https://api4.thetvdb.com/v4/login timed out 2025-07-05 16:19:25.617 Error App: Error in TheTVDB ---> System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 20 seconds elapsing. 2025-07-05 16:19:05.590 Error HttpClient: Connection to https://api.themoviedb.org/3/configuration/primary_translations?api_key=x_secret3_x timed out 2025-07-05 16:19:05.598 Error App: Error in TheMovieDb ---> System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 20 seconds elapsing.

Hi. What options did you choose? There are some that are specifically labeled as producing slower scans (e.g. thumb creation or intro skip). How big is your library? What kind of content? How is it organized?

Hi. That's extremely old. I would update it or install the standard app.

Just wanted to ping this. It would be very helpful.
