It'd solve a problem for us, as I see it. I'm more of a back-end and do not know much about front-end. Is implementing such fallback for audio playback more complicated than with video?

I have strange issue, where I some time needs to replace one version of movie by another, but usually I do end with "two version" of movie, however both version referring to same media file. Ususally, it happens, when I move some another version of mediafile, delete old version and rename it same as older one (but different extension, usually). It's often happens the way, that I can see two movies for same source and merging them, will create same 2 version of the same too. Then I ends with list of two versions, but both refers to same media file. Is there some way how to fix this? I've even tried to change naming of version (added those " - H.264" to end, but it didn't help, it just appears like two "H.264".

Hi there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !

Yes, but this file looks like it should direct play, so that's why the web app tries to do that. When the browser tries to direct play a video file and fails, the Emby app will automatically recover by switching to transcoding. We don't currently do this for audio though.

Isnt't emby about on-the-fly FFMpeg conversion when client can't play the file? Ok, one of my TV's can't play some of my video files. Let's consider them broken? Ah, so there wouldn't be a point in buying Emby at all? It does not, but I can open a file:// URL in it. And it won't play that file, yes. I've tested that already. And before you asked, it will play some other FLAC files. It's the second option.

Hi, you're looking at May 8 in the guide, but your xml screenshot is showing May 7, no? Are you sure your xml has data for the time that you're looking at? Every time someone reports this "problem", this is pretty much what it always comes down to, that their xml just doesn't have the data.

I think I may have found a solution. I checked the permissions for the Emby app and noticed that the permission for Photos and Video was denied. I allowed it and relaunched Emby. It seems to have fixed the problem for me so far.

Another way to test outside of Emby is that in Chrome (on Windows), you can open a new browser tab and drag an audio file into the browser tab. I don't know if vivaldi supports that, but that can help give you an idea of whether or not the browser can play that particular file.

When I go into my music library and click on Edit Images on any of my albums and try to search for a new primary image, it never find anything. I tried it with my movies and everything works perfectly. Is there a different setting somewhere for music that would cause it to behave differently than for movies?

Could not cause remove with any Refresh option only download Subs in my tests.

Correct as they are not compatible. There is a Legacy plugin that will only read the used data and nothing else for previous 4.7 backups. So no configs or users only userdata meaning you have to manually add users then remap data. I will have to search the forum to see if there is still a link to the legacy plugin.

Honestly, there are so many legit issues that the Luke and the devs need to get around to, I'd hate to see them waste their time on a workaround for broken files. Just fix your FLACs, people.

Well the browser is reporting it as supported, otherwise the web app would have the server transcode it. This means, the browser is either lying about that and it doesn't support flac at all, or the browser audio player is having some trouble with certain flac files. Which do you think it is?

Hi, we still need to get this into Roku @ebr and Apple TV, but all others should have it by now.

When I click "refresh guide data" to manually refresh data the status shows that it downloads the XML data for 7 days worth of data for 100+ channels in less than 5 seconds but Emby GUI shows no channels or guide data. I can access and see all the xml data by putting URL into a web browser so it's not an access issue. There are no errors in the log after refresh (shows completion in <5sec) and it properly shows the TV channels recognized from M3u source. Furthermore I can see .xml files generated by Emby with timestamps associated to the refresh action in /config/xmltv that appear to have all the correctly formatted XML data.... just nothing shows up in the GUI. Running Emby as Docker Container via docker compose pulling latest image Logs after refresh - embyserver (3).txt config/xmltv folder screenshot : embyserver (3).txt snipit of XML file generated at 14:53 from log file: and finally the empty guide in the GUI:

What about refreshing metadata manually?

Hi, yes I would agree that it probably makes sense to display the extras season at the very end.

No it is not. I can't play FLAC in Vivaldi too. It's based on Chromium unlike Firefox. 2024-05-08 22:12:09.240 Info Server: http/1.1 POST http://host16/emby/Sessions/Capabilities/Full?X-Emby-Client=Emby Web&X-Emby-Device-Name=Chrome Windows&X-Emby-Device-Id=TW96aWxsYS81LjAgKFdpbmRvd3MgTlQgMTAuMDsgV2luNjQ7IHg2NCkgQXBwbGVXZWJLaXQvNTM3LjM2IChLSFRNTCwgbGlrZSBHZWNrbykgQ2hyb21lLzc0LjAuMzcyOS4xNzIgU2FmYXJpLzUzNy4zNiBWaXZhbGRpLzIuNS4xNTI1LjQ4fDE1NjA2OTk5NjQ4MzA1&X-Emby-Client-Version=4.8.6.0&X-Emby-Token=x_secret3_x&X-Emby-Language=en-us&reqformat=json.

Hi, we are looking into this. Thanks.

OK this information is saved, but we'll try to chase down why this is happening for you in some cases. thanks.

Just need to us an editor and look at the encoding with ansi option to see the garbage if you are not manually retyping everything. I use notepad ++ for previous example but you are seeing the junk via dev console you it is a matter of removing all the spaces and replacing with tabs. But once you are able to see them it is a easy fix. removed <pre>,margin and trailing em space [margin: 0 .7em;">TEXT1</a>&emsp;] Only css I have on this test is for header. /*Move HeaderTop up*/ div.headerMiddle.sectionTabs:not(div.skinHeader-withfulldrawer div.headerMiddle.sectionTabs) { position: absolute; left: 50%; margin-right: -50%; transform: translate(-50%, 0); width: 55%; }

HI, yes that's odd regarding permissions. How did you perform the migration?

OK we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

Yes 4.8.6.0 Create a user with limited access/no access. Log in as admin Add a new library with whatever, allow scan to finish login with restricted user and search for newly added item it shows up. (but you obviously have to know what items exist as the library does not show up in My Media.) Search Suggestions also provide links to resticted content also. Any actual access can show items in more like this that are restricted. Now allowing user access to library and doing scan library shows for user. And removing access from that library now properly restricts that content. But other loopholes above still exist but am no longer able to search or see my test file.
