Hi, there's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

I don't know if it was broken. There was a bug in my code.

That's good news. Given you're beta testing, it sounds like Luke and his team have found the solution to the problem, and I just need to wait for the next general release.

Yes the data is there and accurate. When I try to go into a library though it never loads.

I sloved the embytray-problem like that. CASE: Windows. I need a running EmbyServer after reboot without logging in. After logging in later, I need Embytray working, too. PROBLEM: Starting emby with Task Scheduler is easy. Just add a task Programm Start ...embyserver.exe (with Systemstart) But when logging in, Embytray ist missing, because of different execution sessions. SOLUTION: Add first scheduled task (with systemstart) to start programm C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.exe Add second scheduled task (when user logging in) to start PS-Script: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe args-field: -command C:\xxx\yourscriptname.ps1 I trigged the start of this script with a delay of 30 sec. # # Script to shutdown EmbyServer with POST-Method and start it again afterwards # $headers = @{ "X-Emby-Client" = "Emby Web" "X-Emby-Device-Name" = "Google Chrome Windows" # "X-Emby-Device-Id" = "xxxxx" Seems to be not necessary # "X-Emby-Client-Version"= "4.8.7.0"Seems to be not necessary "X-Emby-Token" = "YOUR API" # "X-Emby-Language" = "en-us" Seems to be not necessary } # Function to test, if EmbyServer is running. # Delayed 5 seconds, because it takes some time to startup/shutdown function Test-EmbyServerRunning { param ( [string]$ProcessName = "EmbyServer" ) $waitingTime = 3 Write-Host "Waiting $waitingTime seconds..." Start-Sleep -Seconds $waitingTime $processes = Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $ProcessName } if ($processes) { $timeout = 5 Write-Host "EmbyServer is still running... waiting $timeout seconds if it stopps" $endTime = (Get-Date).AddSeconds($timeout) while ((Get-Date) -lt $endTime) { $process = Get-Process -Name $ProcessName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if (-not $process) { # Write-Host "EmbyServer stopped." return $false } Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500 } if ($process) { # Write-Host "Error: EmbyServer did not stop." return $true } } else { # Write-Host "Timeout: EmbyServer is not running." return $false } return $false } # Check, if EmbyServer is allready running before shutdown Write-Host "Check EmbyServer Status" $serverRunning = Test-EmbyServerRunning if ($serverRunning) { # Shutdown EmbyServer try { Write-Host "EmbyServer is running." Write-Host "Invoke Shutdown EmbyServer successfull" Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost:8096/emby/System/Shutdown" -Method Post -Headers $headers # Check, if EmbyServer stopped Write-Host "Check EmbyServer Status" $serverRunning = Test-EmbyServerRunning if ($serverRunning) { Write-Host "EmbyServer did not stop." Write-Host "Press Enter to Exit." Read-Host exit } else { Write-Host "EmbyServer is not running. Shutdown successful." } } catch { Write-Host "Error Invoke-RestMethod: $($_.Exception.Message)" Write-Host "Press Enter to Exit." Read-Host exit } } else { Write-Host "EmbyServer is not running. Shutdown not necessary." } # Start EmbyServer try { Start-Process "C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.exe" # Insert your Path Write-Host "Start-Process EmbyServer successfull" } catch { Write-Host "Error Start-Process: $($_.Exception.Message)" Write-Host "Press Enter to Exit." Read-Host exit } # Check, if EmbyServer started Write-Host "Check EmbyServer Status" $serverRunning = Test-EmbyServerRunning if ($serverRunning) { Write-Host "Successful: EmbyServer is running. Skript Exit in 3 Seconds." Start-Sleep -Seconds 3 exit } else { Write-Host "EmbyServer did not start." Write-Host "Press Enter to Exit." Read-Host exit } Voilá. EmbyServer works after system boot and works with embytray after logging in. No guarantees if it works for you, too. But i hope so.

Not sure about Qnap - have a look here - https://github.com/Cheesegeezer/MediaInfoWiki/wiki/Various-OS-Installation-Help

I have latest version on my all devices, and I still have problem, specifically , 1. When i start download on my android phone, even if I Pause it and then go to emby to delete it, it will resume next time .2. I cant seem to tell emby to STOP DOWNLOAD once in for all, if its still downloading 3. Emby persisting downloads means ( even if I dont want it) , if I try to watch the same thing while being online ( not from download), emby crashes hard , no amount of cleaning cache, or anything works at all.

Yes it did.

I need user/password/watching history Restore from server A (Ubuntu) to server B (Ubuntu). --------------------------- i try "extract date from backup" But nothing happened ------------------------- PS: A server has a lot of users ，B server Only one user。

This sorting in playlists is working great. There's still room for improvement to add filters, though. For example, my "All Star Trek" playlist currently has 855 entries across movies and television episodes. Air date puts the movies exactly where they belong according to theatrical release. But by the time one gets to Deep Space 9, you have to scroll halfway down the list to find the first unplayed specific. Filtering unplayed items in a playlist (and all other standard filter options) would be great.

Would like to try this plugin. Looked through the Wiki does the Emby server need to be running on a Windows local machine? I have my Emby running on Qnap does anyone have any setup guide for Emby on Qnap?

Just use a web browser - and the id will be shown there as part of the URL. ie

I can confirm that Emby does not display the embedded song images correctly, especially on multi disc sets if you want to have different art for each disc.

Hello, I am trying to convert different MKV files and for some reason the conversion keeps failing, some work, most don't. Really love the conversion feature, but I am unable to get it working. Attached is the log. Thank you! ffmpeg-transcode-a0eee138-0cfc-4eac-890b-8ba8a6c32bc9_1.txt

So your beta version is successfully removing the entry and deleting the file?

When you're trying to transcode 4k HEVC to 4k h264 your system can't keep up with the workload. The bottleneck is old CPUs and old low end GPU, neither of which can support HEVC in HW. It's seems to get by with 1080p and you might be able to stream 4k downscaled to 1080p. A GPU upgrade could help and the Intel Arc cards are cheap but you'll have to make sure your old system can support them. They have certain PCI/BIOS/UEFI requirements.

@LukeI found the problem. My url was incorrect. It was: /emby/Items/Delete=3752149&api_key=b50f1b30613e416e80e11368ce1eca00 Should be: /emby/Items/3752149?api_key=b50f1b30613e416e80e11368ce1eca00

I just uninstalled it and it still shows up on my main screen. I checked the tasks and all tasks are gone but it still seems to be partially there on version 4.8.7.0

I just need user/password/watching history Restore from server A (Ubuntu) to server B (Ubuntu). --------------------------- i try "extract date from backup" But the backup was not restored ------------------------- A server has a lot of users ，B server Only one user, BIGDONGDONG now

It didn't solve my problem. Nothing happens after the backup is restored.

Hi, I switched from a full release of Emby running on my Synology 423+ (latest DSM 7.2), currently "emby-server-synology72_4.8.7.0_x86_64.spk", to use a beta version. The beta I recently tried was "emby-server-synology72_4.9.0.22_x86_64.spk". I have tried several earlier betas too, and they have the same problem, which is a huge delay in loading playlists with images into my DLNA client. The reason for me using a beta was because the recent betas do support ANSI playlists as well as UTF* versions - this was a problem in my setup with the full release version of Emby which you fixed (see other posts). In the last few betas my playlists (about 242 in all, with maybe an average of 12 file references in each) were taking 45 seconds to load into my DLNA client (which is StreamMagic as mentioned before). With the full release however, the delay was about 1-2 seconds. It's similar if I run Emby on my fats PC off SSD drives... So something has changed in the Emby code, I think! I first thought it was to do with my various library settings in Emby, maybe to do with the "composite 4-pane" images being generated (how do you stop these?), or maybe the size of my various "Folder.jpg" files, or maybe "fetches" from the Internet... I tried endless combinations and tests (and of course caching the metadata!) for the "library" config, but nothing speeded up the load time of playlists in the betas, to that of the full release version.... I reverted to the full release version - not just doing a package uninstall, but also removing various configs for "EmbyServer" using SSH to get a clean install (there are 4 files that have to be manually removed - note that Emby could do with a way to force a clean install on Synology!). I have tried to ensure all configs are set the same between tests. I appreciate you will need full logs from both the Beta setup and the full-release setup, but bear in mind that it takes 4 hours to scan my large music collection, so switching versions for the logs will take all day, which I can do... The first question is whether anything springs to mind with you, in terms of changes to the handling playlists or artwork for them in recent betas?

If you hate the apps and the support not good, and on top of that, you do not want anyone to help you, why you are here? Closing this thread.

I just startet the EmbyServer.exe without parameters. I did some research and the problem seems to be connected with windows session 0 operation of tasks started without being locked in. https://www.coretechnologies.com/products/AlwaysUp/AlwaysUp_FAQ.html#SessionZeroIsolation The Software "AlwayUp" explains this pretty nice. Under these circumsstances it is best to restart the emby service after logging in again in the new session. And - voliá - the tray icon appears. But I have one more question: What is the command line / is there a parameter to stop (exit / shutdown) emby EmbyServer.exe?

@LukeAs requested. embyserver.txt

I'm noticing here, that the "edit metadata" dialog explicitly refers to my "001 - 399" subfolder, but in the metadata manager I'm not able to find entries that would correspond to the other subfolders with normal episodes in it: only "specials" and the first normal episodes one:
