All Activity

For the people wanting to test here's a quick beta. It should be bug free as i havn't touched any of the underlying stuff but always good with more people looking at it. Also some icons to test with, you can ofc. replace them with your own. The tag.png is needed for the preview, debating with my self if i should embed it in the code or leave it like this so people can customize. WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! Beta, so there might be unforeseen problems!! EmbyIcons.dll Icons.zip

Yes it did.

So It seems to have fixed itself, I wonder if it was some server lag or something, so sorry for bugging you

Ruh roh, that's a pickle, I don't have access to the logs I think, I am using it through an old friend, I use it via Web Browser too >.< Do i need special permissions to see logs?

There's ya problem!... System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/mnt/Series/Arrow (2012) [tmdbid=1412]/theme.mp3' is denied. ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied

Over the past few days I have had a few shows that didn't record like they should. Last night I had one that was 5 minutes and was supposed to be 1.5hrs. attached is the log I can see error reports but don't know what they mean. Thanks in advance! embyserver-63887184000.txt

Hi! After using Emby for a long time, I got interested today in trying out the Theme Songs plugin. I bought the pack of all 4 and started testing it... But I’ve run into the problem that I can’t get it to work. I currently have Emby installed in a Docker container, with the folders mounted with write access (verified), and I ran the plugin. The issue is that even though it finds the songs, it doesn’t copy them to their directory. In fact, it also creates them in the cache folder, which it shouldn’t. I’m not sure if it’s related to the plugin using backslashes (\) when Debian uses forward slashes (/). I'll attach a screenshot of what I’m currently seeing in Emby’s cache folder, along with a snippet from the log showing that a song is found, but errors are thrown afterward. Log:

Here's my setup: Hardware: ASRock B550 Extreme4 motherboard AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 32GB RAM Nvidia Quadro P620 for transcoding LSI 9211-8i SAS HBA card 250GB SSD for Docker containers/VMs 4.5TB SSD media cache pool 4x12TB HDD storage array. 1 parity, 3 data, 36TB of usable space Sipeed NanoKVM PCIe for remote access Corsair RM750i PSU Inter-Tech 4U-4410 Case I'm slowly running out of space, so I'm planning to add a couple more drives this year. And if AV1 transcoding becomes a thing, I'll probably get a new GPU. Software: I'm using Unraid OS. Most services are running as Docker containers, except for Home Assistant VM. List of containers: Emby various *arr services Home automation (Zigbee2MQTT, Mosquitto, etc.) Bitwarden Nextcloud a couple of game servers Clients: At home, I use the Nvidia Shield for streaming to the TV or the Emby app on my PC. When I travel, I use Infuse on my phone, and I usually bring Chromecast with Google TV to plug into the hotel TV. I'm considering replacing Shield with the next Apple TV unless Nvidia finally releases a new Shield. I have ~10 friends using my server. They mostly use Web and desktop apps, with a couple also using TV apps. Emby: I started using Emby (with a premier subscription) ~5 years ago. I chose it mostly because Jellyfin was still a relatively new service with some rough edges, and Plex was too inflexible for my liking. I'm quite happy with Emby, especially with the wide selection of apps, although I wish some of the issues and feature requests had more attention (e.g. ASS subs often being laggy or Watch Together feature). My library is mostly 1080p, with some 4k movies.

Is this still being supported or do I need to look elsewhere

The LSIO image uses PUID/PGID and the official Emby image uses UID/GID/GIDLIST. The posted example is for the official Emby image.

Thanks @BlackDub Thank you for trying with these changes. I have looked through all my tests and whilst there was no playback error visible on the screen, I did actually get 3 conversion errors during seeks. So I will refer these to the development team. I will refer it now to the development team. Thank you for all your tests. In your case how widespread is this error for your media files and how often does the conversion error arise? With regards to memory use, whilst reducing the db cache to the current default of 128Mb will reduce the impact, we do still get high memory usage on the beta because of the number of DB connections and each library.db connection will try to use 128Mb cache. This is being looked into. What is the memory footprint (RSS+Swap) for the Emby Server process for your system and how much free memory is there?

I'll add to the topic, I haven't changed anything on my server but since 18 June I've been getting the following error message Export Library to Trakt Failed on Server Unauthorized at Trakt.ScheduledTasks.SyncLibrary.Execute(CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress`1 progress) at Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.ScheduledTaskWorker.ExecuteInternal(TaskOptions options) There is also no new plugin version. My Emby Server 4.8.11 is running under unraid

thanks for sharing! If you have some other time and motivation, one for Anime and Sports would be nice. Best regards

same on iPad Air (IOS 12.5.7, MD785LL/A) Any chance this is going to be fixed?

Here is my setup: I have Emby 4.9.1.1 installed on my Win 11 laptop. I have all my movies on external drives attached via USB on a USB docking station. The USB docking station has two drive slots, and sometimes I swap the drives to access other movies. Yes, it is possibly not the intended setup for Emby but I don't want a NAS/server running all the time. I use "Emby-on-demand", i.e. I turn on Emby/laptop when needed, since I mostly use Prime, NF and similar services. Anyhow, in the past I see that Emby created .bif files / chapter in the media folders, but now I don't see that anymore now. Perhaps it is a settings change, that I have overlooked. In the past: E:\Movies\The Batman (2022).mp4 E:\Movies\The Batman (2022).bif Now: E:\Movies\The Batman (2022).mp4 E:\Movies\ no bif for this movie So my questions are this: Where are the .bif files now located? How do I force Emby to put the .bif files in the same folder as media? (Attached are my settings). It is possible to have a metadata folder per drive, instead one master folder, so I can maintain mobility and still have .bif files created? On a side note: I tried to generate the .bif file manually using the Scheduled Task, but that fails, which is most likely because I removed the drive (i.e. D-drive from the docking station) that contains the Emby metadata folder. It works fine when the D-drive is there, but not without.

Hello, I have not accessed my Emby Server (Terramaster ARM) in a few months and can no longer visualize/access my library (movies, photos etc). I've tried rescanning and adding foldersm but to no avail (error message attached). I can still access my original data files from Windows (map drive) and the Terramaster Application (TOS). Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

@visproduction Most problably I am missing some technical details how this process works. So let me ask... at the and of the story, when I watch a movie by using Emby App on Adroid or Android TV... who is decoding and playing the moview? Is it Emby app or what? Anyway I can confirm: I have 12 TB of movies and NEVER NEVER in years had such problems... I am experiencing such issue in the last months.

Here you have the same error with DB 128mb, diagnostic plugin unninstalled and 2 reboots. Ed: I tried updating the android app 3.4.75 and nothing change ffmpeg-transcode-580edb51-1b34-4d21-9285-c54ee039c6bf_1.txt embyserver (21).txt

I thanks you but i need basilar steps. I am looking for

@BlackDub I would like to summarize the current position of the investigation: I have not been able to get the Convesion Error that has been seen in your logs using the same movie file with transcoding. I tried on Linux ubuntu, Synology NAS and Windows all using Emby Server 4.9.1.3 with the Emby for Android 3.4.76 beta. At this moment the only apparent difference in my setup is the Diagnostic Plugin. So one thing to see, is what happens if you test with the Diagnostic Plugin uninstalled - but also please see my next point: I would like to mention that whilst you discounted memory pressures as being a factor, we did have investigations before of ffmpeg struggling with video files and failing to extract images at specific offsets on this forum topic and this was due to memory shortage. So just in case there is some impact to ffmpeg, do change the DB cache from 1024 Mb to 128 Mb as we do have evidence from your logs of many DB connections being opened - eg 2025-07-02 13:52:01.123 Info SqliteUserRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/users.db. isReadOnly: False 2025-07-02 13:52:01.159 Info ActivityRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/activitylog.db. isReadOnly: False 2025-07-02 13:52:01.227 Info AuthenticationRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/authentication.db. isReadOnly: False 2025-07-02 13:52:01.229 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: False 2025-07-02 13:52:01.235 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:01.266 Info SqliteUserRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/users.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:02.792 Info AuthenticationRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/authentication.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:06.100 Info ActivityRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/activitylog.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:09.545 Info AuthenticationRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/authentication.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.428 Info AuthenticationRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/authentication.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.433 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.434 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.434 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.435 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.440 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.440 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.441 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.441 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.443 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.443 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.444 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.444 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.445 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:52:56.445 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:53:10.795 Info ActivityRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/activitylog.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:53:16.433 Info AuthenticationRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/authentication.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:53:16.439 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True 2025-07-02 13:53:16.439 Info SqliteItemRepository: Opening sqlite connection to /config/data/library.db. isReadOnly: True and we do try to allocate that cache for each connection. Please when you remove the Diagnostic Plugin - also edit the max db cache setting - reducing it to 128 Mb or 96 Mb, restart the server and repeat the test and let me have the debug server and ffmpeg logs to see if the convesion error remains

What makes you think you do? Do you have a running icon or evidence that the Emby Server application is installed and running on your computer? Can you provide screenshots?
