with a few reboots the not playing file now plays but the subs not playing still continues. subrip, or SRT, embedded subs when extraction is enabled will not display at all with the hybrid DV and HDR10 compatible files PGS subs trigger transcoding, and then tone mapping, which is a whole other rabbit hole of incompatibilities

That's false information. The actual issue is this one: 2024-05-16 00:32:51.547 T:12233 error <general>: EMBY.emby.http: [ Unknown ] Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) Seems there is something wrong with your server response or the http query. Can you send me a debug log (via PM) please. Is your server accessible from internet? Does the issue appears there too? Can you send me the URL of your server, then I could test the "handshake" myself.

Quick update, been messing with this all night trying to figure it out. I have no idea whats going on. It seems to be converting at under 1x which i assume is the problem (log attached) but i dont understand how its possible that it's not able to keep up with the stream. The cache drive is nvme benchmarking with yabs at ~5GB/s read and write which is obviously plenty. The CPU is basically idle, htop shows anywhere from 3-5% on all cores. Memory usage for the whole system is 1.85GB Attached htop screenshot showing server stats while the video is skipping and getting convertion speeds of ~0.8x 23:45:21.050 elapsed=00:01:35.44 frame= 4818 fps= 50 q=-1.0 size=N/A time=00:01:16.66 bitrate=N/A throttle=off speed=0.803x ffmpeg-directstream-701ef03d-789c-415c-83a4-1a43215d7923_1.txt

Is unchecking this box still the solution to this problem? I am also unable to skip ahead while playing back an in progress recording (instead, it starts over from the beginning if I try to skip). But I don't see a checkbox labeled "automatically convert to a streaming friendly format" under Live TV settings. I'm a premiere user. I assume the interface has changed since 2018 - where do I find this setting to fix this?

But thanks for the feedback !

Eventually, yes. It has enough changes that I'm not going to put it up for everyone just yet.

Good to hear, thanks again!

At the same time Emby should be getting the collectionname/id from TMDB and automatically assigning it to that collection. So I would ask is Emby providing your metadata? What providers do you have enabled on the library? Do you have the "Import collection information from metadata downloaders" option enabled on the library?

To be honest, I’m not sure what happens if you play a DV only file without a HDR or other compatibility stream. If the ATV app can’t play DV then I guess you will get what you see, just a black screen. I suppose you are expecting it to then try and transcode. I suspect that is not something that is not currently implemented and I don’t know how reliably we can even check that it is a DV only file. Can you please attach the ffmpeg and server logs for your playback test?

Yes I can confirm this issue. It will be resolved in the 4.8.8 maintenance release. For immediate relief use an Emby app to configure those two options, and/or the fix will also be on the beta channel tomorrow. Thanks.

Thanks, then i'm not going insane.

Do this: logout from this account "HTConnect", then login with "lja" (btw, you should use email address for the login name), if you can not remember the password, just use "forgot password" and put the email address for the account "lja".

Alright, this new DLNA plugin version indeed fixed the issue! Thanks! Will this fix be applied to the regular releases now?

Just select add to collection on Ghostbusters: Afterlife and select the collection you want to add it to. The option to add to collection is available at almost every view level.

Thanks. As is shown my access is via the new account named "HTConnect". I do not see "lja". Your response was via HTConnect. which shows me as Rookie. Am I missing something. Thanks for any help.

No it is obsolete. Yes it is hidden and Allow adult metadata appears to be missing. 4.8.7/4.9/0.19 4.8.6.0

Messed around a with it a little bit. Got it to work with the Android app but still not with a web browser. Noticed the "Include adult metadata" is also missing

Reading this topic and being a complete newb at this… I’m assuming I’ve done something wrong or ill advised by simply using the remote setup already in Emby when I created my new server? 1. I just enabled remote usage and tested it via my phone by going to my ip and port while not on WiFi. Got access to the login page so I know it worked. 2. Disabled remote access for my admin account. 3. Removed user names from remote login pages and apps they’ve never signed in with. Is this bad, and if so, maybe a warning of some time should be included under the enable remote access option in Emby to let a new user like myself know that these are not recommend but will work? Again, I’m honestly curious because I’m so new at this. I’m currently testing Plex and Emby on a laptop as I buy the pieces for an unRAID build where I”m leaning toward using Emby. Thank you

Worth giving it a go with Infuse ?

Excellent!

I want to add Ghostbusters: Afterlife to the Ghostbusters Collection. Ghostbusters 1 and 2 automatically added. Thank you!

Hi @HTConnect I see the "lja" account access the connect from 4 hours ago, so what you mean about can not access? Please explain the issue in more details, thanks.

Version 4.8.7.0 Docker, TheMovieDB and TheTVDB. Noticed that Emby doesn't put movies into collections unless manual either even when set to auto in the Android app. Just noticed the Auto Box Set is not installed, is that needed or was that only in old versions of Emby?

Hi, what version of Emby server? What metadata fetchers are checked?

Hello yocker, ** 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
