I have run a few more tests. The connection was previously made via a DynDNS URL. When I use the IP, the streaming works. It seems to be a problem with the app with DNS resolution (but only for streaming, not for the gui) In the meantime, I have also installed a reverse proxy to enable HTTPS/SSL. Unfortunately, this didn't help. I still have to use the IP instead of the URL Is this a problem with the app or with how the Samsung TV operates DNS resolution?

The database was not corrupt before the upgrade. However, in recent months he has become easily corrupted. I did the database recovery guide via: sqlite3 library.db ".recover" | sqlite3 library-recovered.db and I replaced the library with the copy of the recovered one. But not often does it return to being corrupt. Is there a method to analyze the library and identify where it is corrupt?

it seems to run for longer times/days but still needs restarted after a period of time.

Something I have noticed which I haven't been able to figure out is that even though all my movies and series are recognized it doesn't show you the bio info. Unless you you specifically go to that actor/actress and click refresh metadata. I'll attach a screenshot of what I mean, one is of where there is no bio info and the other is where the bio info is displayed after having clicked refresh metadata for that specific actor. Under Movie library settings I have the following enabled: Metadata Readers: Nfo Movie Metadata downloaders: The MovieDB The OpenMovieDatabase The TheTVDB Metadata savers: Nfo Under Tv series library settings I have the following enabled: Metadata Readers: Nfo Tv Metadata downloaders: The MovieDB The OpenMovieDatabase The TVDB TV Maze Metadata savers I have my movies sorting program, placing local nfo files in the same directory as the movie, with the movie name and nfo extension. For example: "American Psycho (2000).nfo". The same goes for the Tv series library, in the main series folder I have "tvshow.nfo" and then each season is in a separate folder where each episode has it's own nfo file. I've tried going to the Movies and Tv series library and selecting "Refresh all metadata", but that doesn't seem to fetch the bio info for the actors and actresses listed under a movie or tv serie. Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something because I find it strange that I would have to manually select "refresh metadata" separately instead of it being refreshed when I tell it do it it for everything under each library?

Got it. Thanks so much for the detailed reply and for explaining everything thoroughly. While you all work on things, can you give me some suggestions for how I can avoid this moving forward? Different file types to look for, or other things I can adjust?

first thing i did didn't help

Deleted the container and switched to 8080:80

I’ve been using Emby for a few weeks now. I have all my media stored on a Synology. I have a Mac Mini M2 with 8gb of RAM that runs the Emby Server. A few days ago I decided to clean up my “Movies” folder on my Synology and I put everything into folders instead of all the files just sitting in the root. I also enabled Emby to save related images in the corresponding folders. Since I’ve done that I’ve noticed no matter the device, whether on a web browser or the native apps my media will stop and then start playing a few seconds later. I never had this issue before. And also the website hangs up all the time when browsing to pick media. When I click on something I get a blue spinning ring, but if I refresh the page usually it works fine. Before I did the folders the website was super snappy and had no issues. Are the folders causing this or might it be something else?

Any update please @chef?

I get no compatible streams error when transcoding. Direct play works fine. 2024-05-21 06:34:40.345 Info App: ProcessRun 'StreamTranscode 53e59b' Process exited with code 1 - Failed If I download the file from the m3u and play it locally, transcoding works fine. Maybe fallback upon error is to buffer more of the file before attempting transcoding. ffmpeg-transcode-de2a2661-7925-4d38-9577-23715c8c6030_1.txt

In next version I must change the plugin structure/helpers. Kodi has still issues with detection of the content type for audio and pictures. Current plan, the core module might be re-defined as a Kodi-script plugin and another (video) helper will be added as dependency.

I was using all the image fetchers available. The images were not inside my folder. Earlier I even tried using Kodi's Files-add videos and it was fast but didn't like result as much as I liked Emby as I had used Emby before. I felt like I was on a dial-up service. I eventally tried Identify with with IMBd's ID it was also extremely slow but worked sometimes I got no poster but then I tried Edit Images to get a poster. Bottom line all is well now. thanks for the help

I turned on this feature, but I don't know what the trigger conditions are. I tried watching two episodes of a TV show in a row without clicking on Emby, and then I found that the system did not prompt me with "Would you like to continue watching?" This feature is not very user-friendly. I hope to add a sleep timer feature that allows users to choose to automatically shut off after 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or other durations of playback.

I checked it just with audio channels, so in my case yes

Just an update to results of the investigations: All the files that have this issue have a duration of less than 2 seconds. The problem arises when these clips need to be transcoded. Symptoms observed when attempting to transcode tiny test video clips of 1 second or 2 second duration were either hung playback (does not actually start) or immediate playback error @prioirty_queue Advice for now is to convert these tiny clips to lower bitrate to avoid need to transcode. Test this out with a few clips into a test library

You don't necessarily have to wipe the old and start fresh - just setup another instance of emby, running on a different port - but pointing to the same same libraries. Let that scan the items in the background and when it's finished, then import the play state from the corrupt db - then move that over as the new instance. If you unlink all the items in the current db, then its possible that would suffice, but I would be concerned about what else is corrupt - there is no way of knowing unfortunately.

Does anyone know why the hdhomerun flex 4k would ve listed as 2 separate devices?

Why is nothing happening here?

Debian is a good call, and installing Emby directly on it should work fine. Docker could simplify things, but direct installation might offer better performance. Also, I recently stumbled upon eWebGuru for dedicated servers. They've got some affordable options that might be worth considering: https://www.ewebguru.com/dedicated-server-hosting.html

Oui ta configuration n'a rien à voir avec ta clé EMBY. Donc tout restera fonctionnel.

Normalement elle devrait rester active ! Au pire un tour dans les réglages de ton serveur Emby une fois la migration finie et tu remets la licence et voilà

Bonjour, j'ai une question par rapport à ma licence Emby Premiere. En effet, je vais prochainement changer de matériel pour mon serveur Emby sous Windows. Je vais donc changer de processeur, carte-mère et de disque dur pour gagner en perf. Par contre, je comptais cloner (via Acronis pour ceux qui connaissent) mon disque dur. Je le clone car je vais passer d'un SSD SATA à un NvME. Comment va réagir ma licence Emby Premiere? Va-elle sauter? Pourrais-je la réactiver?

@Luke Was heißt das jetzt auf deutsch? Jenes Plugin wird nicht mehr unterstützt?

Yes, all the reboots were done last night but have not tested since. I am not using a reverse proxy, just a docker in bridge mode on unraid. I will test again tonight

Dear, On my network where EMBY server is running I have an UDP stream: udp://@239.1.1.1:50000 which I can view on server using VLC player. How can I implement this in EMBY?
