It can take up to a few minutes until all the songs of a freshly scanned album are grouped. Until then, the home section "Latest music" will show each track separately. I think the album should be visible only after emby processes it (metadata/cover/etc) and not as soon as new files are detected

Hey - sorry for not replying. Since my earlier message - "I turned off the scheduled daily scan/sync, and left it as Real Time Monitoring, it's been fine" - that's still been the case. So I think the problem is still there, but I am no longer running schedule/daily scans, I am not experiencing it

Dear Emby support, I recently bought a new HomePod Mini, connected it to my Apple TV and everything worked fine, for all apps. But when I decided to watch some episodes in Emby on my Apple TV, I saw a change. Emby was very laggy when interacting with Emby during an episode (Moving forward, moving back, pausing and resuming the episode, pressing the button « Next episode »). I reinstalled Emby, on both my server and the Apple TV, but the issue was still present. I also tried to use « Native » player instead of « Auto » (default) but it did not change anything. After digging a bit the forum, some users met the same issue but I haven’t found any way to resolve it. I finally decided to change the audio source in my Apple Tv settings, from my HomePod to my TV speakers, and the issue is not present when I use my TV speakers, and it comes back when using back my HomePod speaker. Is this issue known by Emby ? If not, can we try to find a solution to ensure HomePods are working with Apple TV as an audio speaker ? Thanks by advance.

@ebr @Luke Can you please explain what is the difference between playing a movie inside the Emby app and playing using the Chrome browser on the same Android device?

Not in portrait mode. Turn the device sideways to view in landscape and you'll see those sections appear below the timeline.

Yes, I've noticed this also. @Lukewhen using Android app on mobile device, interacting with any of the sections on OSD, eg. Chapters, Cast & Crew disappears too quickly even when you are actively scrolling left to right.

Hi. Can you tell me the exact version number of the app?

They should. That is what tells the system to inherit from the parent. Have you tested the parental controls with those songs?

I know there has been a lot of related discussion on this topic, but i was unable to find a solution when i was searching the forum (so sorry if this is a duplicate post). I'm running the regular Android app (not the one for TV, as discussed in other threads) and trying to play an ATSC 3.0 station using my HDHR. I get a great video stream, but no audio. I have my Sheild connected to a Yamaha TSR-7850 audio receiver. When i stream Emby it appears to be 'direct playing' everything. My audio receiver says the audio input is PCM 2.0 (see screenshot) which doesn't look right. My audio receiver appears to be able to play many audio formats, however, i admit i couldn't find anything that specifically said it could or couldn't play AC4. Any suggestions on how to get audio working??

Hello bugman9317, ** This is an auto reply ** Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you. It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread: Thank you. Emby Team

This is the first time I have had an issue with a file playing since I started using Emby. I'm just trying to trouble shoot it so I know what's going on if it ever happens again. It is a 4K - Remux HEVC 5.1 DTS Sound file, but I have many of these in my library and never have any issues. If I play this file on my tablet using wifi, it plays fine - direct play at 95mbs Setup - Hardwired Nvidia Shield Direct Play, Samsung 8k TV In Emby, when I hit play, it loads to the play screen, but just stays black. I have all my settings at max for streaming, and if I go into setting and reduce down to 4k - 80mbs, it will play. Anything higher, it will stop playing. Speed isn't an issue because its hardwired on my Shield. It's weird, I tried like 10 other files that are that are about the same, without any issues. Even LOTR, and its about the highest bit rate file I have. I did get the movie to play once by waiting for about 2 minutes on a blank screen, but once I try to start agian, it just stays on a black screen. If I load up Plex, the file direct plays without any issues. Any insight would be great.. I attached the logs embyserver.txt

Ah, ok I found a bug in my code, and I figured out that I am able to add them using the tag service, so I might be set, thanks... For anyone reading this, I switched to the TagService, i.e. made my endpoint /Items/1348003/Tags/Add and I am able to add tags that way. Given that I had a bug, I'm going to go back to testing using the ItemUpdateService and see if I can get that working, but I have at least something that works. I'll have to do some more testing to see if the tag service will work better...I need to see what happens when I submit duplicates. I'm kind of hoping that the ItemUpdateService just replaces all the existing tags with what I submit, as that may present some advantages but regardless, I have a way that at least gets the basic thing going. Thanks!

Ok, hopefully this will be my last post and I'll be able to get the last bits from here... Initially I was trying to submit to the IitemUpdateService using a post to this endpoint(the ID is correct for my test item): /Items/1348003 Using this as the body (double quoting is escaping in code, they are sent in the post as single quotes): { ""TagItems"": [ { ""Name"": ""add1"" }, { ""Name"": ""add2"" } ] } That gives me a 400. I had hoped I could just submit the fields to change to the ItemUpdateService, but I keep getting 400s back, so now I suspect that I actually need to submit the entire BaseItemDto object back? When I check the server logs, the error in the stack trace is: System.ArgumentNullException: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'source') at System.Linq.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentNullException(ExceptionArgument argument) at System.Linq.Enumerable.ToList[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source) at Emby.Api.ItemUpdateService.UpdateItem(BaseItemDto request, BaseItem item) at Emby.Api.ItemUpdateService.Post(UpdateItem request) at Emby.Server.Implementations.Services.ServiceController.<>c__DisplayClass8_0.<VoidActionDelegate>b__0(Object service, Object request) at Emby.Server.Implementations.Services.ServiceController.Execute(HttpListenerHost appHost, Object requestDto, IRequest req, Type serviceType) at Emby.Server.Implementations.Services.ServiceHandler.ProcessRequestAsync(HttpListenerHost httpHost, IServerApplicationHost appHost, IRequest httpReq, IResponse httpRes, IStreamHelper streamHelper, RestPath restPath, String responseContentType, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Server.Implementations.HttpServer.HttpListenerHost.RequestHandler(IRequest httpReq, ReadOnlyMemory`1 urlString, ReadOnlyMemory`1 localPath, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Source: System.Linq TargetSite: Void ThrowArgumentNullException(System.Linq.ExceptionArgument) So, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, otherwise. If I do need the entire BaseItemDto object, is there an easy way to get that back, so I can just edit it and submit it back? The Item service doesn't appear to return a BaseItemDto, rather it seems to return a subset of that. Docs seem to be telling me I should be getting an entire BaseItemDto, but I don't think that's what's happening when I make a call to /Items?ParentID=18060&AnyProviderIdEquals=imdb.tt14961624 I get a single item back, but as I said, it doesn't seem to be a complete BaseItemDto object. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it!

If it won't let you log in by choosing the user, try using manual login. Whatever gets messed up will be "fixed" once you login by entering your user name and password. Once I do that for one user the rest can generally log in with no problems by picking their user name like normal. I don't think its an Emby thing. It seems to come from Roku's "remember me" function.

alrighty. i found the location of the system.xml file that i needed to edit. for me, the /config folder was located in the 'media' mount path. to see the path click on the 'View Mounts' under Workload: you'll see a pop up window indicating where the /confg folder is located: i used nano in shell to edit the system.xml. after editing the Public port of 9096 back to 8096, the server is now able to be deployed and in a "Running" status. hope this will help those of us who are not too familiar with many things linux.

That option must only be available on the iPhone. It's not available on my Android device, nor is it available on my Samsung TV. Nevermind, I seemi was looking in the wrong place entirely I found where you were showing me to look. If I go to the episodes option under TV shows, I'm not able to filter by series. It will only shuffle ALL of my TV episodes for every series I haven't watched.

Yes but only in the Beta server branch (4.9.x.x).

Hello all, I use the Emby app version 3.4.74 on 2 Android tablets to watch concerts. The video files naturally have chapters so that you can select the desired title directly. Now I don't know when the behavior “crept in”. I press "Chapters" below the timeline, the individual chapters are displayed, I can move them sideways briefly if necessary, but before I can select one, the bar is already hidden again, is that correct? A sensible selection is not possible! When testing on my cell phone, I can't select any chapters at all because an option for this is not even displayed, has this always been the case? I can slide over the timeline and search, but that's not really satisfactory. Am I too stupid to use the app or ...? ? best regards AL Hifi

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding Emby Premiere licensing. I'm planning to purchase a lifetime license that allows up to 30 devices permanently. In addition, I’m considering getting a monthly subscription that enables 80 devices. My question is: Is it possible to combine both licenses on the same server? In other words, have 30 lifetime devices and 80 additional active devices as long as the monthly subscription is active. I’d really appreciate it if someone from the team or community could confirm whether this setup is technically possible and how it would work in practice. Thanks in advance!

You need to set the specific gpu uuid in your NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES

Sry but trough browser no problem to play. So i think the problem is related Emby, because if it was a 403 problem it wouldn't work with the browser either Hispa P.S. I dont use vpn and all files are in Italy, where i have connection fiber

Can we get an option that lets us watch our series or playlist by shuffling through only the episodes that have NOT been previously watched? I've got a series with over 1,500 episodes that I want to shuffle through randomly, but it constantly pulls back episodes I've already watched instead of pulling ones I haven't. It would be really nice to just be able to play the ones without that green check mark next to them.

sure! I'm sorry , I got confused between two topics.
