I spent a bit of time troubleshooting this on my Synology DS2422+ today and eventually got FFMPEG to actually process my .ts files after amending my custom.sh as below. Posting in case it helps anyone else. It's running an AMD CPU, although I'm not sure if that was the cause or not. I'm very new to this so had to piece it together as I went along. ffmpeg -i "$INPUT" -hide_banner -loglevel info -max_muxing_queue_size 512 -c:v libx265 -brand mp42 -ac 2 -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k -ignore_unknown -map 0:v -map 0:a:0 "$OUTPUT" -probesize 100M -analyzeduration 100M ffmpeg -i "$INPUT" -hide_banner -loglevel info -max_muxing_queue_size 512 -c:v libx265 -brand mp42 -ac 2 -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k -ignore_unknown -map 0:v -map 0:a:0 "$OUTPUT" -probesize 100M -analyzeduration 100M

Fresh log after a server update restart and a full library scan. embyserver (1).txt

Hi, that's strange that your server didn't detect a LAN ip address. Please attach the emby server log: How to Report a Problem Thanks.

thanks for letting me know. it seems to try to hold a few seconds so maybe its just hardcoded or whatever... was hoping it'd be a hidden setting in a file somewhere

there is no live tv buffer setting

Hmm still no solution fix to this problem? Chooo

could be a little trick to catch this happening but I'll do my best and report back. Does the "enable throttling" setting have an effect on live tv "converting to a compatible container" ? I'm guessing its safe to assume that theres no setting for buffer length of livetv?

Then this should probably be moved to the Docker/Linux section for starters as this is an issue with your server. I know for the longest time 13th gen stuff was broken AF with Docker. I do not know if they were resolved.

Is there someplace I can poke about to find the modern update to this guide? I would really like to get my server up and running using HTTPS and not have to deal with regularly having to renew stuff. However, when I get to the step of: Install IIS (Internet Information Services) I run into issues. First off, Server Manager was not showing up. I finally figured that one out and got all the stuff installed. But then, once I launch it and attempt to "Add Roles or Features", I am greeted with the popup that there are no servers selected and the Emby server does not show up as an option to add. More importantly though is, MS Web Platform Installer has been discontinued. The links all over the place for finding a copy of it (from a third-party that is not MS) are eitehr dead or for version 3.0 which crashes after opening. I have less than zero beneath the hood skills when it comes to this sort of thing, so I was very glad to see such a detailed guide. Alas, I have hit a brick wall and am unable to proceed to finish the project.

If you're dead-set on using a RAM disk, I've had success with the following: - Allocate 40GB - A cron job that runs every hour (here is my specific cron job): 0 * * * * bash /home/isamudaison/clean-emby-transcode >> /home/isamudaison/log/clean-emby.log 2>&1 This executes the clean-emby-transcode script and outputs to a log file specified Here is the `clean-emby-transcode` script: #!/bin/bash docker exec emby sh -c 'find /transcode/transcoding-temp/ -mmin +360 -delete -print' This deletes any file modified over 360 min in the past (assuming a docker container that uses the specified path). This falls apart if someone leaves a live tv stream transcoding forever (event shows like super bowl/oscars/whatever), I suspect 80GB would be an ideal size for a RAMdisk.

ah ok - I'll have a play - thanks for coming back to me.

AndroidTV shows the 'Up Next' preview and includes the next episode name, the other apps just show 'next episode'. Functionally both do the same - but I believe AndroidTV also triggers on the CreditStart marker (if it exists), not sure if the other Apps do that .. yet ?

Running this now. Found 20 duplicates and I can pick what versions to remove. https://github.com/kristiankoskimaki/vidupe It still causes the kept versions to show up at the front of the list. I'll do a full library scan once this movie is over otherwise the log is full of this every single second. 2024-05-15 00:00:07.139 Info Server: http/1.1 POST http://192.168.1.151:8097/emby/Sessions/Playing/Progress.

I'm interested since I have some issues also! I'll keep an eye on this thread!

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

Via the api it’s just an array of string so you would add Tags to the list and then update the item.

I was able to inject the -max_muxing_queue_size parameter into the ffmpeg command. Thanks again, Luke, for that tip! Though it didn't solve the issue, I am seeing a pattern. When setting to 2048, the conversion fails on Segment 24 When setting to 20000, the conversion fails on Segment 276 When setting to 40000, the conversion fails on Segment 554 I ran that last one twice (moving the -max_muxing_queue_size from the middle of the parameter list to the end as recommended elsewhere). Both failed on the same segment. Attached is a Full Trace of the transcode (reduced back to 2048 for size reasons) if this helps with any debugging. ffmpeg-transcode-9c318bac-e263-479e-9b78-bfe64017c63b_1.zip

Is there anywhere in the settings or files where a buffer for livetv streams can be set? I'm not sure what it is by default, it seems like maybe just 1 or 2 seconds, but I've had some issues where cpu usage spikes (unrelated to emby) for a few seconds can cause issues and if I could increase the live tv buffer to something a little bit higher it would probably be able to absorb these short spikes in cpu usage.

Same here happened to me, added another folder in library, 4 folders were already in library. Btw if u add 5th folder u cant see it in emby admin gui at all After adding folder, whole server lost content completely...after 2 hours of trying to fix it..unsuccessfully, i restored backup... Same error messages as already posted, Sqlite mostly.

@LukeTo be sure I cross referenced with the Activity list, and the only user around that time was a LAN user. Weirdly though, the times don't line up that closely, they are about an hour off.

Hi All, I did a quick search but could not find anything definative. I want to lock metadata via the api and/or c# I see there are some attributes such as BaseItem.LockedFields BaseItem.IsFieldLocked etc But not sure how I use them - does anybody have a code example of say locking the tags ? Thanks !

Ok, then it's probably not the same issue then. Sorry. Hope you get it figured out!

Hi Luke, My apologies for the long delay. I had reached out to my family member and asked them to test with me but had not heard back. I spoke with someone else last night and asked if they had seen a similar issue on the Apple TV and they said they had. Based on that condition, the issue seems to be with play/pause etc within the continue watching screen. If he plays a show of any quality (can even be 720p) and hits pause and comes back to continue watching on the dashboard later and tries to resume the show it fails. If he goes back out and drills into the TV shows and goes to the show, season and episode, he sees the same option to resume but it works from there.

I tell it to do it but doesn't do anything. Only time I notice it manually scan libraries is if I have do it for all of them and not the specific one I'd like. It has trailer link next to play but they are to youtube.

I had that plugin installed but never went into it to see what could be done. Thanks for that tip! Looking at the log, it appears that "-max_muxing_queue_size" isn't sent to ffmpeg by Emby Server. Do you suggest I search an existing parameter that's always constant (such as -write_header_trailer 0) and replace it with itself plus the -max_muxing_queue_size parameter?
