Hello, I am trying to get gamebrowser working on my emby instance. I have the addon v3.2.9 installed on Emby 4.7.14.0 running on Docker. Folder structure is as spelled out in the Gamebrowser guide post: /mnt/user/multimedia/Games/N64/Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire/Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire.z64 Games Library root: /mnt/user/multimedia/Games/ I configured my game systems in the plugin config as follows: <?xml version="1.0"?> <PluginConfiguration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <GameSystems> <ConsoleFolderConfiguration> <Path>/mnt/user/multimedia/Games/N64</Path> <ConsoleType>Nintendo 64</ConsoleType> </ConsoleFolderConfiguration> </GameSystems> </PluginConfiguration> I also have the EmuMovies plugin installed with my creds stored in the config. When i add the /mnt/user/multimedia/Games/ folder as a library, it finds the games and created entries that list the file names, but does not pull any images or other metadata for them. when i look in the debug logs, i see entries like this: 2024-01-11 21:05:57.105 Debug App: Running FolderImageProvider for /mnt/user/multimedia/Games/N64/Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire 2024-01-11 21:05:57.110 Debug App: Running EmuMoviesImageProvider for /mnt/user/multimedia/Games/N64/Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire/Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire.z64 2024-01-11 21:05:57.110 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.gamesdbase.com/search.aspx?search=Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire&system=&media=Cabinet&sessionid=REDACTED 2024-01-11 21:05:57.195 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.gamesdbase.com/search.aspx?search=Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire&system=&media=Cart&sessionid=REDACTED 2024-01-11 21:05:57.277 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.gamesdbase.com/search.aspx?search=Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire&system=&media=Snap&sessionid=REDACTED 2024-01-11 21:05:57.361 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.gamesdbase.com/search.aspx?search=Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire&system=&media=Title&sessionid=REDACTED If you look in the URLs, you will see that the "system" parameter is empty. If i take one of those URLs and alter it and put in the correct system parameter like system=Nintendo_N64, it works. What am I configuring incorrectly which is preventing Emby and the plugins from determining the value to pass as the system?

Hi Emby team, I would like to request that Emby Theatre for Xbox One be made snappable, so tv can be watched while playing games.

All OK now ... I installed via the distribution repository - which in only has the snap package. To fix, I installed with Emby's *.deb from the website. That was simple.

I forgot - emby-server is NOT installed in the bootup / startup. I do think you have a snap problem.

Welp, sorry to necro but this is the only place im seeing this reported. Issue persists on Garuda (Arch Based) Linux. - When in full-screen on center monitor it seems to not allow usage of any of my other (2) monitors. If i maximize it from the task bar in KDE it will snap to the edges of the screen and work temporarily, but after a video is played, i can no longer use anything on my other monitors. As the other user stated, you can click on URL bars and typing boxes but it will click for a second and immediately draw attention back to Emby preventing you from doing anything.

I've attached a couple of screenshots of what I'm seeing on the TV. Apologies for the quality of the images which I had to snap with my phone, but they should be good enough to clarify my explanation. When I attempt to open Emby on the TV, I see the first photo below. It shows two servers named "RAINBOWBOX", which is the name of my PC. The instance on the right was the original one mentioned in my first post, which gives me an error message if I select it. The one on the left only appeared after I manually inputted the IP address for the PC earlier today (not the Remote (WAN) IP I originally tried in error). When I click on the left-hand RAINBOWBOX I get taken to the screen shown in the second photo below. I can't progress past there to my Emby Home screen, with media folders etc, which is what I had been seeing when I first logged on, up until a couple of days ago.

Thanks for all info Rich, I think i'm clear on that now, and I'm okay with it for the time being. However, its this statement here that has caused the confusion I guess. I wasn't expecting a standard library scan to remove my edits either. Last night I made edits, and can see they "Saved" successfully: Then the following morning, during a typical scheduled Library Scan, IntroSkip Core is seen "detecting" the same (incorrect) intro chapters again, basically replacing what I just removed. 2022-11-25 08:01:50.676 Info App: Detecting markers for \\NAS\TV Shows\Dexter - New Blood\Season 1 - episode \\NAS\TV Shows\Dexter - New Blood\Season 1\Dexter - New Blood - S01E01 - Cold Snap WEBRip-720p.mkv 2022-11-25 08:01:50.711 Info App: \\NAS\TV Shows\Dexter - New Blood\Season 1 has 10 episodes with audio fingerprints available 2022-11-25 08:01:51.170 Info App: Best title sequence for \\NAS\TV Shows\Dexter - New Blood\Season 1\Dexter - New Blood - S01E01 - Cold Snap WEBRip-720p.mkv is 00:04:23.3084577 - 00:04:56.6417910.

As a further test, I removed the snap firefox and added the mozilla ppa to my apt respositories, which installed the deb for Firefox 106.0. The font issue isn't present on this version. Everything is wonderful. I'm going to continue using the deb because I'm not really on board with the snap push to begin with, but that's twice now this font-family thing has come up on edge cases, so it probably still needs looking into.

I'm a bit stumped after going around in circles on this one. I had installed Debian (Bookworm 12) on an old laptop. Went through the steps to install the Nvidia drivers and finally used the instructions from Emby's Ubuntu install page. It took around a week for my whole TV library to be scanned, but during that time I had the https side of the server working fine. I was able to access the server using the outside port of 443 and translating through the firewall to the local port of 8920. Everything seemed smooth and working better when in comparison to my previous install on my synology nas. This is when I had the idea with the holidays coming up I might as well renew my SSL certificate with lets encrypt using certbot's python3 cloud flare plugin. I didn't want to install it through snap, so I threw the plugin on my Linux box using the apt-get command instead. Did a dry run and certbot seemed to be working using my token that was made to change DNS records. I then decided to flip over the local port to 443 and go into my router to change the local port there as well. Gave the Linux box a restart and now I can't seem to get the HTTPS side of the server to respond. I've tried requesting a new certificate from let's encrypt, checking that my domain resolves, using the purge command on certbot, setting the local port back to 8920, setting new port rules to forward both 8920 and 8096 to the local ports of 8920 and 8096, restarting the Linux box several times over, rerunning the dpkg command without any luck. When I ran nmap scans against the 8920 and 443 ports it always returns that the ports are being filtered. When running the same command against the 8096 port I will see that the port is open and accessible from both an internal and external IP address. There also didn't seem to be any errors that stood out to me when skimming over the debug log from my server. I hope that someone might be able to see something I am not seeing or know a post/article that might describe a good way to verify my install? The main reason I don't want to do a fresh re-stall is just because it takes so long to scan my library. embyserver.txt

Yes other wise you could not connect to the server. Servers are suppose to run 24/7 doing there thing, to help you do your thing, when needed Think of Emby server as your waiter, and Emby client as you. You want you media, when you snap your fingers, and the waiter is there taking your request. If you turn of your waiter or let it take a rest. You would have to wait till it leaves the breakroom. Hope this makes sense

Hello Luke, you will find the file attached. to summarize, this songs works fine with: - Web app (browser, tablet, smartphone) - Android app: TV (55OLED856), Table (Xiaomi pad 5) Doesnt works with: - Android app: Smartphone (Realme 7 pro: Android 12, Realme UI 3.0) T-'art - Snap.zip

Hmmm... Running as a stand-alone package install, snap/flatpak package, or container?

this is a snap off of 4.7.14. Maybe coz the scan isn't done yet in setting up the server on a new pute?

Life gets in the way, but a late update to my situation. So, I have realized that I can adjust the size of the window with the mouse from the sides or bottom. For some reason the resize cursor does not work from the top of the window. I still don't get why the maximize button puts the app in Fullscreen mode instead of maximizing it. The window also still ignores Windows 10 baked in commands for manipulation of windows. E.g. [Windows Key] + [Down Arrow] for minimizing or [Windows Key] + [Left / Right Arrow] to snap left or right.

Something I have noticed regarding the web interface for mobile: on my Nexus 7, attempting to open a pop up window in the server (such as the advanced refresh window in the metadata manager) results in an "Aw, Snap" error in Chrome for Android. I am attaching a screenshot of the error page. The crash was produced by attempting to open the advanced refresh window. Server v. 3.0.5347 Linux Mono build Sent from my Nexus 7

Oh snap just saw this. 75 inch samsung 8 series and 2021 model.

Ahh, that might be the case. I am pointing to the mediainfo binary that is within the snap package. Let me have a look... Edit: That was it, the snap package seems to have the gui version instead of the cli. Thank you!

Hi, I really like to show my movies in Thumb mode instead of posters. However most thumb are just showing a snap shot of the movie, like a scene. Is it possible to show nice thumb for all movies with lets say the title of the movie in the thumb it self and to look like a 'poster'. Similair to Prime Video. Posters looks great but my idea is to have these in thumb mode. Is it also possible to have an option on how to show movies/series on enhanced media, poster or thumb?

Downgrading from beta to stable release is not supported and will likely break. Too many backend changes that are incompatible. You don't need to compare the servers if you installed them the same way. The idea is to find out where the files are located by default so that you can get the logs from the failed one for evaluation. Unless you deviated from a typical installation those locations should be the same on both servers. I haven't used the snap package and don't know if they differ or how.

Hi, Many thanks ofr taking time to try to answer my question and solve my problem. I tried to do what you said but unfortunately (as I expected) it does not work. Because : - 1°) I can not even launch the server on second computer, so I can not compare set ups ; - 2°) the hard drive that cdontains the music is hooked up to the compûter that does not work and as such I can not set it as the volume containing the music library. I should mention that I had installed "emby-server-beta" package on the computer that is not working now. And that it used to work quite nicely until for some reason it stopped go to the next track. So I stopped the server, uninstalled it and re-installed the "non-beta" package. And that is the one not working... I thought it could be some kind of daemon that was still running but it seems it is not as it also happens after several reboots And I can not install the emby-server-beta package as it seems maintainer has not updated it So I am "stuck" with the Snap version, that works but can't be restarted on the fly.

Hello Thanks for answering.. the thing is that I saw this.. https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/emby-server/ but I am not very sure if I have to uninstall emby first in its 4.7.11 version and install the new one or with a sudo pacman - Syu would update itself. For now snap packages do not convince me much.

Cause the client dosen't work, these days I was using tv and plex instead. Yestday I tried again and found it still couldn't play any viseo so I removed it. Then I found there's a snap version and after installed, this one works well. Seems there's something wrong with your apt pack.

No you don't want to play any games and redirect it. You want to copy it and then set the permissions as shown in the article. The instructions that are in that article are spot on and have been used hundreds of times. I've done over 100 upgrades myself. Just follow the instructions exactly as written using the latest version of Emby and it will work. I'd run a full library scan before getting too critical with it. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the part I bolded above. Could you snap a picture and show me what you mean?

Forgot to mention that I tried opening with snap command in terminal and got error messages about "xxx cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file: ignored". The last error message says "/snap/emby-theater/x1/emby-theater...No such file or directory.

@rbjtechAlways a pleasure to read your full_of_wisdom replies Indeed, I was testing Emby on a mini HP PC yesterday (12500T/M2 SSD + 16Go Ram), after a quick and dirty install of debian 11 (not working with 12th gen) and 12 (yeah supporting the iGPU). The medias are on a separate machine over a simple 1G connection. Really nothing fancy. But I'm so new to Intel Transcoding that I have everything to learn. I had a really poor experience with that distro, being blocked a every steps to make transcoding work... On the pre-installed windows 11, I also tested emby server and couldn't pass 3 to 4 concurrent streams. Not the performance I had in mind when reading you could do 7 to 8 4K with your setup, but I had no memories about the details of your hardware either. Today, I reinstalled the last fedora on the miniPC and installed the snap version of Emby (4.7.11). No quick-sync available, only vaapi. Performance is quite OK. I could hit 5 transcodes of 1080p but 4K was not starting at all. So I installed on bare metal the last beta to the system. QuickSync is showned in the list (yeah) and 4K is playing pretty nicely (yeah x2). I could ran 5-6 streams (with regulation activated) before hitting the 1G bandwith. The result was much better than expected for a 2 hours experience with that distro starting from scratch In the end, it seems that Emby-beta is far more confortable with quick-sync on linux and for my setup (Emby on a different machine than the media and a slow lan connection), even faster than windows. I wonder if I could hook up the mini to the main server with something else than a lan connecter, like thunderbolt for example... Anyway, I will continue to benchmark all of this in the days to come.
