Sorry, I meant to type "categories" instead of "categ" in the topic header. But, I'm running emby server beta version 3.3.1.22 on Ubuntu and I am notices some issues with loading images and going through the media categories. Like 10-20 secs for pages to load up. This is for all apps and browser. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I see TheTVDB have released a new beta site here: http://platypus.thetvdb.com/ Some of the new features are: Will Emby be supporting the new API in the near future?

Hi guy's, wondering if anybody can offer any guidance or point me in the right direction... regarding the Blog release announcement for Emby Server 3.0.5868 Beta ... my Mac OS X currently states I am running Version 3.0.5821.0, where and how can I get the beta release from? I have tried downloading the ' Emby.Server.Mac.pkg' from GitHub, https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/tree/master/Server ...which says it was updated 4 days ago, but it still stays as version 3.0.5821.0 ​assistance very much appreciated, thanks !

So I've done a complete uninstal and reinstall of both the Emby Server and Roku Emby Apps. I sent in the Roku Emby Beta App around 5:37pm Pacific and the Roku Emby App around 5:42 pm Pacific. I am attaching my server file. The file I was trying to play for the Emby Beta is "Little Nicky" The file I was trying to play for Emby is "Anger Management" the User name is "Eric" I can see from the Emby Server log that it couldn't access the file because of an System IO, but I have no idea what the Roku responded with as I don't have access to that log. Hope these help. server-63645670769.txt

Hi all, A few questions: 1. Where can I find the Roku app in the list of channels on the device? As I have stated in another thread, I am able to install the beta version, but, when I try install the main release build I get the below error: I see it says it is listed under Personal Media, but, there is no such option when I browse through the Streaming Channels on the device. 2. I have told the device to update and it says that it already is up to date, but the device has been off since before the new Roku client release. Should it be automatically updating or do I need to go back every time and manually update the Beta from https://owner.roku.com/add/EmbyBeta ? Does the private beta channel automatically update? 3. Does installing the beta mean it will update only beta releases, or will it update to the public builds as well?

Hello, I have since a few days issues with scanning my library. Prior upgrading to the beta, this happened: After upgrading to the beta, this happens: I checked the folders, the data is available, i can read it, move it, but emby is not able to scan it. EDIT: I should also state, this error happens not immediatly, it happens after maybe 60% Library Scan, its always an random percent number. I add the logs later, as im at work. Greetings cyberplay

I recall this happened a few months ago, and I'm running into again now. Emby Dashboard shows I'm running 3.2.15.1 and that 3.2.15.5 is currently available. Yet when I run apt-get update & apt-get dist-upgrade, nothing is found. It's done this on all the incremental updates from *.1 to now. If anyone else is having this issue, I'd love to know it's not just on my end.

I am completely new to Emby, and I am checking it out with the new Roku beta client. I setup my account with a password and an easy access PIN. I could not get the PIN to work on the new Roku beta client, it kept prompting me for my password. Since that was such a pain to enter in my password each time, I went on the server and "reset it" and did not set a new one. The Roku beta client however keeps prompting me for a password. I am able to authenticate by leaving it blank and just hitting enter. It seems the Roku client does not realize I no longer have a password initially because it brings up the password prompt. So there are a couple follow up questions I have. One, how do I get the PIN to work? The Roku is on my local network. Two, what is stopping someone from manually entering in my server IP and logging in to any one of my users? I have 5 users created currently, do they all need passwords? Thanks!

Hello, I'm running beta version 3.1.2 and emby server notify me of 3.1.5 available but apt is not updating the package. When I crawl the repository at " http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/emby/Debian_8.0/"I can see that stable number version (3.1.5) is higher than beta (3.1.2) . Beta is not available any more ? Can I switch to stable on the fly or I will have to do a clean new installation ? thanks EDIT: really strange, I am not with emby-server-beta but with emby-server btw apt is not updating the package. dpkg -l | grep emby-server ii emby-server 3.1.283~beta-13.1

I've noticed over the weeks of testing the various iOS 10 Public Betas that Emby is not a happy camper. Playback works so-so but the browsing of folders and files is impossible with crashes and sticks at loading most of the time. Trying not to complain. Just trying to inform! =) iOS 10 final should drop to the public by early September so you guys have about a month to figure it out before your flooded by the angry mob.

Hi all, I upgraded from 3.1.150.0 beta to 3.1.153.0 beta yesterday, and since then I notice that the "Scan Media Library" and "Refresh People" are no longer working correctly. Whether I leave the system to kick off the tasks, or if I manually start them, neither one actually completes. All other tasks under Scheduled Tasks work fine (chapter image extraction/clean database/download missing subtitles). If I kick off the tasks they will get to different percentages every time and then hang. Sometimes as little as 10%, other times as high as 88.7% but it hasn't gone further than that. I left the two tasks running through the whole night and they hadn't moved, so it doesn't seem to be that it just needs time to complete. My media is only 547GB at the moment. The server has not hung because I can still watch media, and I can also use the stop buttons to stop these two tasks. I did also delete all the files in C:\Users\<Profile>\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\data\ScheduledTasks to make sure that wasn't the problem, and then restarted the service. When that did not work, I also restarted the machine. I'm running Emby as a service on Windows 10 x64 that is fully patched. Latest log file attached. server-63609685337.txt

Hi, over the last couple of weeks I have been receiving regular freezes/lagging whilst watching several TV Shows in a row with the "Play next video automatically" option enabled in the Settings -> Video -> Playback on Kodi. I have always had this setting enabled as it is useful for my kids to automatically watch a few shows in a row without needing to manually start a new episode after the previous one concluded. Up until recently this setting has worked well and as intended without any issues for months. Now randomly (albeit most of the time) after watching an episode or two, Kodi will freeze/become unrepsonsive. This occurs at the end of an episode as it tries to commence playing the next episode. Through trial and error I determined if you leave it long enough ie ~ 15 mins Kodi will eventually display an error on screen stating it failed to open the source file. Obviously this is not preferable and the only way to continue is forcefully close the frozen Kodi app, re-open and start play the next episode manually. My setup: Emby Linux Mono Version 3.1.47.0 Beta (running on Asustor AS 7010T x64 running latest v2.6.2 linux firmware) Emby for Kodi Sync Queue on Emby Server version 1.0.6020.14567 (although I disabled this on the client for testing and the freezing seems to occur both with/without Fast Sync enabled) Emby for Kodi Beta 2.2.12 SPMC Jarvis 16.3.0 (based on Kodi 16.1 for Android) (running on Nvidia Shield Android TV v3.2) Vanilla SPMC install, running standard Confluence skin with only a couple of simple other addins: Oz Weather, HD Homerun & Multicam (view security cameras) plugins Wired 1Gb ethernet network (I have just tested and the problem occurs also occurs on the standard clean install of the App store version of Kodi 16.1 for Android on the same Nvidia Shield. So I am deducing that it is not a SPMC specific problem) In the below log file, the episode I watched concluded around the 21:43:31 mark. Kodi then Lagged/froze/became unresponsive for ~ 15 mins and at the 22:01:17 mark Kodi finally displayed an error onscreen saying failed to open source for next episode.

When logging into Emby today, I saw a popup I have never seen before. It was saying "Thanks for being part of the Emby Beta" or something to that extent. This was followed by a bunch of change notes. I am not sure how I got into the beta. My auto-update settings are for official channel only. Emby shows me as being on build 3.0.5946.22772 with 3.0.5913 being the last blogged about official build. Without uninstalling and reinstalling, will my having set Official channel eventually bring me back to the official channel release? How did I get a beta build installed in the first place? I don't believe I have ever set myself to receive them.

My Emby is stuck with Clean databases at 0.0%, Download missing subtitiles & Scan media library are stuck at failed and don't work when pressing run, and nothing's loading on the home page. Is there a way to restart the upgrade process? How do I fix this???

Hi, it seems with the last couple of betas of Emby for Kodi my Kodi library now no longer auto/background updates/syncs. My Nvidia Shield is always left on with Kodi running (sleep/shutdown disabled). My NAS is also always on and media files are regularly auto copied to the monitored Library folders within Emby. It was previously working in the past with the Kodi library updating almost instantly when Emby was updated with new content. The Emby web interface does appear to update in real time whenever new files are added, but Kodi now no longer auto/background updates/syncs the library - unless a user initiated manual sync or Kodi itself is manually restarted. Whenever a new Beta version of Emby for Kodi is updated, I always do a manual entire library reset on Kodi to ensure the local database has the newest updates. As this issue recently started happening, I just performed a complete uninstall of Kodi on my Nvidia Shield and re-installed and re-setup Emby for Kodi Beta on Kodi Jarvis 16.0 Beta 5 (in case something was corrupted on my setup). Unfortunately this did not resolve the issue as auto/background library updates/syncing still are not occurring. My setup: Emby Linux Mono Version 3.0.5785.0 (running on Asustor AS 7010T x64 running latest v2.5.1 linux firmware) Emby for Kodi Sync Queue on Emby Server version 1.0.5782.13378 Emby for Kodi Beta 1.1.72 Kodi Jarvis 16.0 Beta 5 for Android (running on Nvidia Shield Android TV v2.1) Vanilla Kodi install, running standard Confluence skin with only a couple of simple other addins: Oz Weather, HD Homerun & Multicam (view security cameras) plugins Wired ethernet network The below two media files were recently updated in the Emby Library. They appeared on the Emby web interface immediately, however they did not auto/background update/sync to the Kodi library until I manually restarted Kodi and it performed its standard startup scan: The Fifth Element (1997).m2ts was changed around 2016-01-15 10:39 Heroes Reborn_S01E12_Company Woman.mkv was changed around 2016-01-15 12:05 Logs: No auto/background library updates/sync Kodi log during the time these files were added: http://xbmclogs.com/prvxsh9na Emby Server Log during the time these files were added: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hjjrakm70brk3w5/server-63588426305.txt?dl=0 After Kodi restart Logs: Kodi manually restarted and Emby for Kodi Beta performed the startup scan & then detected new these files: http://xbmclogs.com/p0obfwkhg Emby Server Log during the time Kodi was restarted and startup scan ran: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qo4js18nf9evbur/server-63588426305-post-restart.txt?dl=0 Thanks for your help and let me know if you need any further information.

Ok, so saw the beta update and decided to try it b/c of ipv6 & a few other tweaks. So on my debian 8 system did apt-get update && apt-get install emby-server-beta. (server is headless, so 'localhost' doesn't work well) Easy. But when I went to try it out, couldn't get to my server from emby.media, or from ipv4:8096. Tried [ipv6]:8096 and gave a 400 error. If I do netstat -tuln I get tcp :::8096 with -beta, but nothing on the ipv4 side. With stable I get tcp 0 0.0.0.0:8096, but of course nothing on the ipv6 side. Anything else I can provide to help with troubleshooting?

The previous thread looked like it might go forever. Better if we break it up a bit I think. The current BETA release is available to install from the following IP address… 86.14.225.93 For full instructions, please see the Install Instructions thread. Currently, Samsung Smart TVs, Blu-ray Disk players and Home Theatre Systems series D, E, F and H are supported. D series devices will likely not be supported in a future release due to a planned increase in the smart hub resolution. The normal rules of running beta software apply. It might not work! If you do find a bug, please try to find out if it has been introduced recently or was there already in the last stable release and then submit a bug report. There are myriad TVs and devices to support and the behaviour is sometimes different so your input is enormously valuable.

In the latest beta version 3.0.5641.1, if I go into the web client and then music, I do not have any options to view by albums, genre, artists, etc. Has this been temporarily removed? https://www.dropbox.com/s/6ulaznnn4w4pga7/Screenshot%202015-06-12%2009.00.02.png?dl=0

I'm interested in the new Cloud sync plugin just announced. The developer asks for feedback, but no link is given to provide it, and the announcement thread is closed to comments. Is there already a thread for this topic? My first question about this plugin would be regarding copyrights. I thought if a user uploads a movie, TV show, or album, each of the cloud providers would either remove it, or demand proof of purchase. This could become a hassle if one makes frequent use of this plugin. Am I incorrect? Otherwise, this could be the solution for those of us who use a VPN service. I have yet to find any solution for streaming when I'm outside my home network (no, Emby connect or whatever it's called does not work from behind a VPN).

I could be wrong, maybe it's just been moved, but I can't find the button to clear the auto-organize log anymore since the beta update. It's not a huge deal, I just like to keep things tidy

I realize the download capabilities are still only in server beta, but games seem to be the only content type that will not download. I'm assuming this is an issue on the GameBrowser side of the equation, but I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts anyone has about whether this is something that is likely to get fixed or if there is anything I should be looking at on my end as a possible culprit.

I run Mediabrowser 3 on a Server 2012 Essentials box, and have for over a year or so. I use the service side of Mediabrowser, as the Windows server does not autologon. I am running the Dev builds of Mediabrowser (just updated before posting this to v3.0.5509.223), which may be the cause of the issue I am having. This is also an issue I had in the past, it cleared automagically, but has now been back for at least the last month or so. Basically what happens is I cannot shut down the MediaBrowser.ServerApplication.exe process. In the past, I believe it may have been related to a plugin. The only plugins I am running are: Auto Box Sets, CoverArt 4.0, MB Bookshelf, Rotten Tomatoes Reviews, and the Server Configuration Backup. This means whenever an update is available, I have to: set the service to "Disabled" Reboot the physical server Start the application, not the service Complete the update Go back and set the service to automatic Reboot the server again. Anyone seen this or have any suggestions? I have the workaround in place, but this whole process is a royal pain.

Hi Team, I am always keen to help out with feedback etc for MB to help you guys with what I can to create the best media player experience, but I find myself short on time to always create a thread, post logs, provide screenshots etc. I've been involved in many betas for games and the like and many of them had built in mechanisms to automatically report the logs and bugs back. I was wondering if there could be an opt in feature for beta users to automatically send you guys logs, allow us to provide some context to the issue via a text field we can add to the log being sent. Perhaps where there is a crash, that the log is created and in the background a pop up could appear for when you close MB down to 'one-click' report the issue back to you and allow us to tell you what we were doing at the time. I am sure there would be others like me that really want to help, but are limited in what we can offer. Perhaps such a mechanism could encourage more feedback and issues to be reported? Anyways, keep up the great work! Cheers.
