FYI: This log shows the following number of entries: .avi 1,560 items .mkv 10,945 items .mp4 260 items Time line from: 2025-07-05 00:00:00.027 to: 2025-07-05 16:18:01.485 (16 hours 18 minutes) I would guess this large number of media content. Is this being added to the dbase? If that is true, why wouldn't this also cause playback to be limited, buffered or not play at all while these 12, 765 items are being processed? Can this huge amount of content be causing the problem?

So because of that, Emby should identify them as something it's not, in fact, two different shows that have nothing related to each other? Sounds logical.

Correct. When adding a library server only needs access at the "shared folder" level. Which is what those instructions in the link were for. For playback you also need folder and file permissions at the system level to be correct. To make life easier I would not have all my libraries in the root of volume1 Instead create one shared folder under volume1 and have the libraries under that. example: /volume1/MyMedia/Movies /volume1/MyMedia/TV Shows /volume1/MyMedia/Music /volume1/MyMedia/Pictures In that example "MyMedia" is the only shared folder needed. It doesn't need to be that way, but if not then you're messing with permissions in several locations instead of just one.

Oops, I saw that, but didn't read far enough down. Thank you!

You have excessive number of season-only folders there - causing Emby to treat your TV shows root as a series folder. Each TV show needs to have its own folder (season folders underneath that are not mandatory, but recommended). TV Naming Rename/restructure, rescan.

HI, yes we are looking into it: Thanks.

Hi, can you try the 4.9.1.4 beta package and see if that helps? Thanks.

I'm currently using Foobar2000 to manage my music collection, but I have my music indexed by Emby so I can play it on other devices more conveniently. When I export my playlists from Foobar2000, they use relative paths, but the paths contain windows style `\` separators instead of unix style `/` separators. I have to then open them in an editor like vscode and search and replace. Seems pretty simple to switch the path separators in memory to match Emby's OS upon reading the playlist file. (Linux Emby could read Windows playlists, and Windows Emby could read Unix playlists). Would this be feasible? Edge case handling may be rough, but there are probably libraries to simplify this. Thanks! On a side note, I wouldn't care about this at all if Emby had auto playlists that could read custom tags...

Please check your DM's

Hi @Lukeit's been quite a while since I've chimed in... I am not sure if the new (to me, just saw it over the weekend) HEVC encoding feature or if it was something else that changed but things work worlds better now on my devices and my friends ROKU devices. Things load so much faster for remote users and subtitles aren't borking the videos any longer. I just tried Twisters on my Win11 work PC and the opening scenes played flawlessly when earlier this year, it would freeze. So, thank you guys!

Just ran into the same problem while on holiday and using my chromebook with transcoding in a hotel

@FrostBytesince user was able to add libraries the issue now is the actual folder permissions correct?

Would appear to be a permissions issue to me. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/volume1/Videos' is denied. ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied Line 771: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/volume1/Documents' is denied.

Hi, did you notice these? System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/volume1/Music' is denied. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/volume1/Pictures' is denied. Have you taken a look at this?

Can you show us exactly what it looks like? Thanks.

Yes please.

Es una copia de /var/lib/emby. Al final he borrado todo el contenido de /var/lib/emby y vuelto a instalar emby, el problema del tema se ha solucionado. Sería bueno saber si existe alguna otra manera de hacerlo sin volver a instalar emby de cero, supongo que tiene un id de server y por ello se conectaba al local y no al remoto. Gracias.

Real Setups. Real Users. No Fluff. Welcome to the first installment of our Emby Community Spotlight — a series where we highlight the unique and diverse ways people around the world are using Emby every day. From globe-trotting servers to enterprise-grade home labs, Emby users continue to push the boundaries of what a personal media server can be. Today we are focusing on users who use Windows or Windows servers as the base for their servers! Here are three very different and impressive setups that showcase the flexibility and reach of Emby. 1. A Portable Powerhouse That Travels the World This user lives a truly mobile life, relocating across countries every couple of years. Despite the challenges of frequent international travel, they manage to bring their Emby server (along with their entire media, gaming, and work setup) in just two suitcases and two carry-ons. OS: Windows 11 Pro Case: XTIA Proto L v2 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3090 RAM: 32GB Storage: 80TB Clients: 2x NVIDIA Shield TVs TV/Sound: LG C2 OLED + Vizio All-In-One Soundbar Router: ASUS ROG AX11000 This setup has successfully traveled routes like Sri Lanka → Philippines → Singapore → UK → Saudi Arabia. The server doubles as a workstation and gaming rig. Truly a server built for work, play, and portability. Super impressive! 2. An Overbuilt Beast with Room to Grow Built for endurance, performance, and multi-purpose use, this next user has created a server that handles everything they can throw at it! OS: Windows Server 2022 Form Factor: 4U rackmount with 24-drive backplane CPU: AMD EPYC 7F52 Motherboard: Supermicro H11SSL-I RAM: 512GB ECC DDR4 Storage: 8x 18TB SATA HDDs (pooled via StableBit DrivePool) 2x 2TB NVMe SSDs (write cache) GPU: NVIDIA Quadro P2200 Clients: Fire TV Sticks, Samsung Smart TVs, iOS/Android devices, browser After 8 years of using Emby, this setup reflects confidence, stability, and the desire to build once and build well. Live TV via HDHomeRun was described as effortless, and streaming performance is as smooth as it gets. 3. A Well-Rounded Home Media Hub This setup strikes the perfect balance between performance and practicality. Used primarily in-home across multiple client devices, it serves a large personal media collection with plenty of horsepower under the hood. OS: Windows 11 (24H2) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 AORUS Ultra RAM: 64GB G.Skill DDR4 @ 3600 MHz GPU: EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Storage: 40TB HDDs + 7TB NVMe SSDs Clients: 5 in-home devices, occasional remote access via Tailscale Library: ~2,000 movies, 800,000 photos, 30,000 personal videos, 50,000 songs This server doubles as a central storage hub and personal archive, with exceptional performance for both local and occasional remote streaming. Have a Setup Worth Sharing? We will be featuring more community builds in this ongoing series shortly! Whether you’re running Emby on a mini PC, cloud server, or something no one’s thought of yet, we want to hear from you.

Sure. Should i DM you the link?

Sorry for the late update I have been super busy. I ended up getting a new router and the problem is fixed now, I am not sure what caused it and I am open to troubleshooting but as much info as I can give is the weird subnet that I don't have anymore and I no longer use an eero as my main router, only access points.

Great to hear I’ll report back to confirm the issue has been resolved once the release is pushed. Thanks for your work on the coming update!
