Added my music video collection into Emby a while back. To assist with seamless playback, it would be great if: 1) Latest Music Videos on home screen would allow to play next automatically, with similar feature popup while playing with episodes. In the order that they were added to Emby. 2) For a random & continuous playback options to be added in the Music Video view. Playback could be based on current sort for continuous playback. If I search for an artist via the search button that the dynamic list created can be played in sequence or randomly. Individually selecting a video every few mins to play isn't the greatest. 3) Some additional sorting options, such as date added, by folder, year, artist. I understand most do not have metadata for this category but any additional options to vary the playback would be awesome. 4) Possible playlist implementation? (I'm sure this would be have been requested before ) - already implemented doh! Thank you, AD

It's "Emby Smart Player," not "Emby Theater." The interface looks like how Emby looks through a browser. These give playback error: Aurora - Fire in the Sky (PBS): Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x1080 29.97fps [V: h264 high L4.0, yuv420p, 1920x1080] Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch 448kbps [A: English [eng] (ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, 448 kb/s)] Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration (ABC): Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1280x720 59.94fps [V: h264 high L4.0, yuv420p, 1280x720] Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch 384kbps [A: English [eng] (ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, 384 kb/s)] Christmas With the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Featuring Rolando Villazon (PBS): Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x1080 29.97fps [V: h264 high L4.0, yuv420p, 1920x1080] Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch 448kbps [A: English [eng] (ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, 448 kb/s)] These do not: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (FOX): Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1280x720 59.94fps [V: h264 high L4.0, yuv420p, 1280x720] Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz stereo 384kbps [A: English [eng] (ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 384 kb/s)] Designated Survivor (ABC): Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1280x720 59.94fps [V: h264 high L4.0, yuv420p, 1280x720] Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch 384kbps [A: English [eng] (ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, 384 kb/s)] I thought stereo versus 6ch did it but Designated Survivor broke that mold. I'm really not sure what's going on.

Hello, I didn't see a post about this, so I thought I would ask. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with fedora, because the webplayer works fine at home on chrome/firefix/qutebrowser on arch (client side), however I'm currently on a fresh install of fedora (client side) and when I try to play a move in chrome or firefox, it hangs and in the js console I get a message about websocket problems. I added a few things to my apache config to try and fix this, but I went from a 404, to a 500 and then to a "Invalid Socket response" message. I'm wondering if I just forgot to install some library on the client side that is causing the browsers not to run the web player correctly. I checked the emby server logs and everything on the server end seems to be in order, emby even thinks the transaction was successful and shows the movie currently being played even though the web player stalled out in the browser. Nothing is showing up in the apache logs ether, so the proxypass I have set up is working fine. So my question is, could I be missing some libraries that chrome/firefox needs in order to properly talk over a webshell? I will be happy to provide the logs I mentions if you would like, but I don't know that it will be necessary as both (emby server and apache error logs) are clean.

The Emby client for Chrome won't stream this file at all. Plays fine when streaming with VLC over the LAN.

Hello, My TV model is: UE32H6400 and I have been running the community app version 2.2.2 for couple months now with no issue at all. First of all I was excited to read that now the app is available in the official samsung store for users in UK and I am now running version 0.109 at the same time. Its very handy that I didn't had to delete the community app and have them both installed, as some problems I have with version 0.109 are non existent on 2.2.2 Those in detail: 1) I have noticed when I am running version 0.109, from time to time when I am browsing through my library, the server app on my dedicated windows pc crashes and I have to manually re-start it (only the app, not the PC). Maybe that's a server issue as I have also noticed that it happens after upgrading to 3.2.36.0. 2) Version 2.2.2 starts 3D movies just fine as long as you have configured each movie properly through the metadata manager menu -in my case it's the HSBS option- so you don't have to manually choose this with your remote control. I can't seem to be able to run any 3D movie with version 0.109 3) In version 0.109, when a movie is playing I don't seem to be able to view the progress bar when I pause the movie. I also can't choose a specific chapter or use the playback bar to move further ahead onto another segment of the movie. Fast forward buttons on the remote seem to be ok. 4) I would love to have an option in version 0.109 to increase the subtitles size if possible. All my movies are MP4 with AAC 5.1 audio, 2000 to 2500 bitrate H264 encoding so direct play works flawless on both TV apps and on my iPhone app as well. Another really nice thing I have noticed is that the video playback looks crispier and sharper through the 0.109 app comparing it to the 2.2.2 version. Now that I am thinking of it, the only thing differently I did when I have installed the new 0.109 app, is that I've used the PIN option to connect to my EMBY server. I can also try disconnect and connect manually with my local IP just to see if that makes any difference for the above issues although I don't think it would be related. All those are minor problems of course. I am happy having both apps installed, I just thought to share my testing results with you guys for future improvements. Thanks again for all your hard work, EMBY as always is awesome!!

Hi i have more than one version of a film/Tv show e.g Movie in 720 and same movie in 1080 both in different folders but if i access the 720 version it shows i have played both films when i goto resume playback at a later time any help would be appreciated thanks

Hi, I'm having a fairly recent problem (not sure which version of Emby this has started from). When I try to stream a Live TV channel it doesn't play, I just get the spinning circle of death but when I refresh the page and try to play again it works fine. I have attached the server log and the two ffmpeg logs. I'm running the latest stable version of Emby 3.2.33 on Windows 10 with a DVBLink backend. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello all, ever since the new Roku layout and all came out when you hit the okay button on the Roku remote you don't get the same info you use to get. One of the nice things to know is if a video is direct playing or transcoding. This helps to know if that may be a reason for buffering or not. I know not many users would probably need or want to know this unless they are a "power" user. I would like to see this tiny piece of information added back.

Hi, When trying to playback Live TV I just get the circle spinning icon and nothing more, when looking at the logs I can see the following filling up the log: 2017-08-15 18:12:17.5820 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:17.6442 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:17.7086 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:17.7695 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:17.8329 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:17.8938 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:17.9568 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:18.0186 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:18.0813 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:18.1429 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:18.2072 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:18.2702 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:18.3320 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts 2017-08-15 18:12:18.3947 Info App: Validating segment path D:\Emby\transcoding-temp\3414cd037e8c0b8cb9ce8ef86aed755a0.ts I'm running Windows 10 with emby server 3.2.27.0 and DVBLink backend.

I've ripped some old cartoon series several years ago by extracting the videoTS folders straight from the DVDs but when I attempt to play them, I get unspecified errors (not timeout related) after about half way through the first episode of a multi episode videoTS folder. Later I found that it would start playing a different vob file or would play the vob file out of sequence which would cause playback to error out. About two years ago, I started transmuxing DVDs to MKVs for compatibility sake but i've been avoiding trying to do that with the videoTS folders as i have about 80-100 of those for a total of 5-8 cartoon series. Is a feature like this possible in the least?

I've been testing the playback quality and consistency for Recorded Media through my HDHOMERUN Connect. My roku 2 can play my local dvds and bluray files without any issues. However, I recently recorded a "Track and Field" sports program and it constantly buffers/loads every 1-3 minutes when I try to play it back on my roku 2. Emby is set to: -Convert to MP4 on the fly -Preserve original video & audio -Transcoding is set to "Auto" for the thread count -"Throttling" is enabled for Transcoding Roku is set to: -30 Mbps UHD for the Video Quality Stream (i changed this to 20 Mbps but with no effect) S7 Edge is set to -20 Mbps HD for the Video Quality Stream (also successfully tested this as 30 Mbps for the stream) Connection -I have a 50 Mbps connection and my roku 2 is wired to a gigabit Ethernet port on my Router. -S7 Edge was on a Wireless AC connection with a link rate of 400 Mbps plus Now I tried playing back the same "Track & Field" recording on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge through the Emby Android App and I had no problems whatsoever. I was reading on similar issues reported and i'm thinking the issue might be because the roku 2 can't play back the native framerate so its still transcoding even though its in a streaming-friendly format but if that is the case, I want to know how to go about fixing it. The 1057pm file should be the roku playback log while the 1054pm file should be the S7 Edge playback log. 7-11-17 @ 1054pm.txt 7-11-17 @ 1057pm.txt

I have a bizarre problem with playback of some videos. It consistently occurs with the same videos, but the symptoms are different depending on the video. When one video has the problem, the others do to. The problems only appear on some client apps, but which clients the problems appear on is also consistent. Here are two videos that exhibit the two problems. The first is the video starting, then stopping immediately, or playing the sound only. The server log for this problem is server-63635241600_hobbit.txt. server-63635241600_hobbit.txt ffmpeg-remux-8f75321d-20d6-4e36-9e66-4b6d5c93f046.txt is transcoding for Safari on iOS 10, where playback stops immediately without playing any of the video or sound, and the interface returns to the video information page, as if the video had finished playing to the end normally. I see the same behaviour in the Emby iPad app. The relevant lines in the server log are 1 to 40. ffmpeg-remux-8f75321d-20d6-4e36-9e66-4b6d5c93f046.txt ffmpeg-remux-788b2900-4fd1-4e8c-8e21-8698a1a222b4.txt is transcoding for Safari on MacOS, where the sound plays but there is no video, just a black screen with the interface showing when clicked. The relevant lines in the server log are 41 to 141. ffmpeg-remux-788b2900-4fd1-4e8c-8e21-8698a1a222b4.txt ffmpeg-remux-d022bd9f-0502-46dd-9782-2de4cdeaafda.txt is transcoding for Firefox on Linux, where playback works without a problem. The relevant lines in the server log are 142 to the end. ffmpeg-remux-d022bd9f-0502-46dd-9782-2de4cdeaafda.txt The above behaviour is highly consistent (there are very rare occassions when it works, but I don't know what triggers them), and always happens on this video. The second problem, which happens on a different video, is the playback being jerky. The sound continues normally without stopping, while the video plays for half a second or so, then stops for a second or so, then jumps to catch up with where it should be. When the video jumps there is sometimes blockiness, which suggests to me missing data in the video stream. The server log for this problem is server-63635241600_avatar.txt. server-63635241600_avatar.txt ffmpeg-remux-d15fda75-1e56-4590-8810-cdf1724e7127.txt is transcoding for Safari on iOS 10, where the video is jerky.

The relevant lines in the server log are 175 to the end. ffmpeg-remux-86a924fb-aa6c-496d-8737-27fa10fe879f.txt As with the first problem, the above behaviour is highly consistent, and always happens on this video. Both the iPad and MacOS are streaming over wifi, through the same access point (but not at the same time) while Firefox is running on a desktop with a wired connection. Is this perhaps a problem with available codecs on the server? The server is running on Debian Linux 9. I don't think it's a hardware problem because I have other videos which are also HD with DTS audio that play fine on all clients, and the transcoding logs show that transcoding is well ahead of the playback rate. The hardware is a Xeon D-1521 at 2.4GHz.

@@ebr -- Have you received reports of playback regressions on v2.9.07? I've been watching Emby videos on my phone for many months so I think this bug was introduced recently. Example: 1) I'm watching a video and I'm 15min in and I want to rewind a few minutes so I show the seek bar and then I tap earlier on the timeline 2) The video pauses for about 15 seconds 3) The video resumes playing at like 23min in (so it went to a different time than I clicked, in this case it even went forward instead of backwards) I also tried pausing the video, changing the seek location, and hitting play -- at which point it began playing from the beginning of the video. Thanks! EDIT: The situation I described about pausing the video and it restarting the video at the beginning -- actually it was starting at the beginning of NEXT episode. So by trying to seek it bailed on the episode altogether and started playing the next episode.

Greetings, I've really been enjoying running Emby on an old Mac Pro that was given to me; generally with the two Xenons I figured it'd do alright and for the most part I've been correct - across a vast range of media it plays things back flawlessly. However, I watch a lot of Anime (which is an understatement) and a lot of it features subtitles of the ASS variety. Usually when I watch them with VLC on a computer just like the one I have Emby running on, they move fluidly with all the crazy animations that the subbers have added; but in Emby when streaming to any other client that apparently isn't the case. They are often just a little slow, even in shows that have really minimal subbing and in the ones that have crazy stuff going on I've actually seen it pause the video intermittently and take a break during heavy sections like the openings and endings. If you wanna see what a log looks like of me watching an entire episode of something you can find it attached Log.txt . Basically, is there anything I can do to improve playback and prevent this from happening? I really don't want to bake these in to my files, but maybe I'd experience more uniform experiences if I shelled out for a GTX 950 with NVENC or something. What's your opinion? Anyone else have this happen to them? Thanks -Kb

Would be great if we could optimize the time to tune to make this closer to real-time. I've been using the IPTV plugin to view my cam streams and there is usually a 10-15 sec delay. In contrast, when I use VLC player to view the stream there is ~2 sec delay.

Hello, I haven't found anything relevant but if something similar has been posted before, I am sorry in advance. I am having a long time now an issue when streaming my music library through the iPhone EMBY app. I haven't mentioned it before as I wasn't using that feature often but lately I like listening to my music too through EMBY. So, the problem is when I stream music through my iPhone EMBY app (playlist, songs in queue, shuffle mode etc.), after a while, always (if not immediately) I have to unlock my phone for the next song to continue playing on the list. This is most inconvenient especially when I am in the car driving and always have to press the iPhone button (sometime that alone only works) or even having to unlock so the next song in the queue can play. Even through the Samsung TV app it hangs from time to time but it’s not as bad as the iPhone app. I know EMBY is mainly for movies, and for that it works extremely well, but it would be handy to be able to use it smoothly for mp3's as well. I would expect it to work on the background but it doesn’t seem to like it when the device locks. Anyone having similar problems? Thanks in advance, George

When watching rips of Blu-Ray TV shows on my Roku2 I am getting frequent "Loading..." messages when the videos are direct streaming (allowing or forcing transcoding works resolves the problem). The server is running Version 3.2.17.0 on unRaid, though I have noticed the issue for a few days now and it still occurred with at least 3.2.15.0. The server log is attached and shows some exceptions that seem to align with playback. Using the beta Roku app tries to direct stream the content and has the issue. I sent the logs from this app via built-in log submission at 22:18 EDT (GMT-4) on 2017-5-16 (the logged in user is 'Andrew'). Using the Blue Neon Night v4.16 app has the issue when in "auto-detect" or "direct" modes but when forced to transcode it works OK. The "official" Emby app v2.25 works fine as it transcodes the content (the transcode log is attached below). In the server log there seem to be errors that align with the times when playing the video has errors that look like: Error HttpServer: Error processing request *** Error Report *** Version: 3.2.17.0 Command line: /usr/lib/emby-server/bin/MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe -programdata /config -restartpath /usr/lib/emby-server/restart.sh Operating system: Unix 4.9.19.0 64-Bit OS: True 64-Bit Process: True Mono: 4.8.1 (Stable 4.8.1.0/22a39d7 Mon May 15 22:31:44 UTC 2017) Processor count: 2 Program data path: /config Application directory: /usr/lib/emby-server/bin System.IO.IOException: Unable to write data to the transport connection: Connection reset by peer. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Connection reset by peer at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.EndSend (System.IAsyncResult result) [0x00033] in <5641e4edad4f4464ba58c620a7b8ea48>:0 at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.EndWrite (System.IAsyncResult asyncResult) [0x0005f] in <5641e4edad4f4464ba58c620a7b8ea48>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.EndWrite (System.IAsyncResult asyncResult) [0x000af] in <5641e4edad4f4464ba58c620a7b8ea48>:0 at System.IO.Stream.<BeginEndWriteAsync>m__8 (System.IO.Stream stream, System.IAsyncResult asyncResult) [0x00000] in <dbb16e0bacdc4a0f87478e401bc29b6c>:0 at (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.Func`3[System.IO.Stream,System.IAsyncResult,System.Threading.Tasks.VoidTaskResult]:invoke_TResult_T1_T2 (System.IO.Stream,System.IAsyncResult) at System.Threading.Tasks.TaskFactory`1+FromAsyncTrimPromise`1[TResult,TInstance].Complete (TInstance thisRef, System.Func`3[T1,T2,TResult] endMethod, System.IAsyncResult asyncResult, System.Boolean requiresSynchronization) [0x00002] in <dbb16e0bacdc4a0f87478e401bc29b6c>:0 --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- Does this indicate a network problem on my end? "System.IO.IOException: Unable to write data to the transport connection: Connection reset by peer. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Connection reset by peer" seems like something bad but I don't think I ever had this problem in the past. I try to encode my Blu-Rays in a way that the Roku app can direct steam them so my server is not forced to transcode. I don't know if this is a case where I accidentally changed my encoding settings so these files are actually different from what I used to do in the past or if Emby changed (server side or in the Roku apps) that is now causing the issue. Going back to older episodes that I am pretty sure used to direct steam just fine now show the problem so I think this is related to an Emby change and not a change in the files I am using.

Hi, I am having a couple of playback issues on Xbox One. 1. Remote users are having issues playing some movies. Trailers play fine, but as soon as the movie starts, is pauses and stutters. 2. Local user (me). Watching tv shows, I have the same issues as remote users with movies, the first episode will play fine, but after the following episode stutters. I have attached the logs. server-63626256000.txt ffmpeg-transcode-78826040-b2df-47d0-92ae-b540314ce645.txt ffmpeg-transcode-b2af8472-5f6a-42b1-8aba-3bbd5d0fb2fb.txt ffmpeg-transcode-e9288225-4cce-49ba-8273-2b0e5f660971.txt server-63626215162.txt ffmpeg-transcode-967cfbe1-a16b-466b-993b-9164af1b6483.txt ffmpeg-remux-aae6faa7-e958-4fe3-bd66-a97f93b51960.txt ffmpeg-remux-e92f4e20-0896-4e89-825c-859eb71b3c02.txt ffmpeg-transcode-c8cf8c17-5135-4c46-a672-6e4b7f138f28.txt ffmpeg-transcode-e53d6eb9-2354-4841-869b-27d7f916f103.txt ffmpeg-transcode-b9443812-6f94-4e3d-99ef-ef8512d46fcd.txt ffmpeg-transcode-cab539ac-7156-4e4f-920a-52114c7142e9.txt ffmpeg-remux-4505b659-7594-41bd-bc1a-46a73c6192a6.txt ffmpeg-transcode-955ee7da-0afc-4038-a1cb-1752b3fb78d4.txt ffmpeg-transcode-878161c9-90c7-4d9f-980b-a1361cf5b3a2.txt ffmpeg-transcode-b282c271-3dce-4839-8375-b6245b322edc.txt ffmpeg-transcode-a5bdf132-5913-4f32-83c8-a068020f6e03.txt ffmpeg-transcode-83bc11fe-b0be-41b0-b397-bbf44dc2134e.txt ffmpeg-transcode-111fe852-e274-4983-810b-70db4e8589df.txt ffmpeg-transcode-63087841-b0c7-413a-a949-a72be0449b1c.txt ffmpeg-transcode-fc254cd6-a688-4347-a968-fff5d1a42c6f.txt ffmpeg-transcode-3a4632e5-d89f-4091-a94d-d2b72fcfe86f.txt ffmpeg-transcode-17128f8e-9634-4d12-ae62-748bbe141026.txt ffmpeg-transcode-d588a594-71df-410b-ae6a-9b0a840c2d7e.txt ffmpeg-transcode-1e97a083-6432-49ff-a90c-e7618ac195b8.txt ffmpeg-transcode-3f20e3c5-12fc-4218-89bd-11e92ae105a2.txt ffmpeg-transcode-32d8775a-2a87-4afb-b282-16be695b6a6f.txt ffmpeg-transcode-41e4aab0-ea2e-4c50-9680-ca74e63d7b8a.txt ffmpeg-transcode-48d23ffb-fb95-41d5-8216-72247459869f.txt ffmpeg-transcode-054577c8-91f9-444d-8048-aaf3ca21bde9.txt

Recent problem since 3.2.14, remote clients running in addon mode cannot play any files with subtitles "playlist cant find next item to play" or " see log for details" if I increase the playback quality to default 100mb it will play and kodi boxes with direct path will play. The only thing that will play on any kodi box is media without subtitle files ( and all my media has subtitle files ) seems to be a combination of Subtitles weather they are enabled or not and transcoding. emby theater works fine remotely 1mb transcoding with or without subtitles, just an issue with kodi both krypton and Jarvis. I've attached kodi logs and server logs. I've uninstalled and reinstalled kodi and re scanned the library and restored user account and settings, reset databases on kodi multiple times with various settings oddly enough it started working while it was doing the first server library scan but once it completed back to not letting things play. Thanks in advance for any help. server-63629884800.zip kodi.log

I have never been able to get Emby Theater (software not Win store app)to play on my desktop. It has 3 monitor setup. I hadn't gotten around to making a post about it. Emby theater will just play audio of live tv, but just show a black screen. Same black screen with audio plays with local H264 files. When i try to playback my live TV recordings (mpeg2) it just loads it for a sec(black screen) then stops going back to the video description page. Doesn't matter what monitor I load it up on. No change if I toggle the Video rendered form Madvr to EVR etc. I disable my 2 other monitors via the Nvidia control panel and only use my primary monitor, Emby Theater plays all media fine. Currently using Emby Theater 2.5.40. But this issue I noted even back when it first came out. I did it on my GTX 970 and still does it on my GTX 1080. Nvidia drivers made no differance but are current. Still using the same monitors. Windows 10. Not sure on how to get any logs or more info from the software itself. Nothing seems to be reported on the server or transcode logs on the server itself that would indicate an issue. They look the same each time i test it, multi monitor enabled or not.

Hi, recently I have had some issues with madVR and ET. When i press play on some movies (1080p mkv) my cinema intro plays okay, then when the movie is about to begin, it starts playing 1 frame per second with no sound. The movies plays, but super slow. I have tried to install the newer madVR, but it did not help. Also updated my AMD drivers without any difference. Windows 10 x64, creator update, madVR. Has anyone had this problem before?

Really appreciate the effort for multiple versions so far. I have following scenario I have one movie in 2 versions. Once with DTS audio and 1080p x265-10bit video and once with DTS audio and 720p x264-8bit video. If I want to play this file with native support for DTS everything works fine. If I play this file e.g. in chrome it is trying to transcode the x265 file automatically which is very heavy on my cpu as it does not have hardware support for x265. It would be great I were able to choose which specific version I want to play for this reason. Furthermore: It would be great if there was a naming scheme for multiple versions for tvshows. So far I have to manually select them and "group versions" which is okay but it would be great if there would be a way for emby to automatically register them. Maybe if they have the same series+season+ep group them by default or something like that. ~Cheers

While watching movies / episodes on iOS/AppleTV the play back works great till the last 2 - 8 minutes of playing, Once this happens the item that is playing no longer plays, if i move back and hit the Resume playback at time it still freeze and does not play the video, nor does it show any thing as "loading". It will also fail if i stop the episode and try to scrub through to the point it needs to play. Logs are attached for the latest attempt, Web Player seems to work but I'll have to test when able to watch through while it encodes the video and see if its a FFMPEG.exe issue or something else. ffmpeg-remux-37ce2371-4efc-41eb-9757-924e729debf3.txt server-63625957714.txt Server System Info.txt

I'm running Emby 3.2.7 and I'm not able to playback Live TV using Firefox as a client. In the server logs I see that transcoding start correctly but the browser will only display a black screen with no playback controls at all (just a scroll bar on the right that you can use to scroll only to see the same black screen all along). I have a HDHR and a TVH server. In Emby I configured both sources, the HDHR directly and also TVH, for testing. Playback of TV channels using TVH or HDHR will never work but I discovered that playback of radio channels using HDHR directly as the source will work, while using TVH will not. I think everything was working fine with 3.2.4 but I cannot confirm that 100%. I tried Firefox from both, Linux and Windows with the same results. Live TV playback using the iOS app works flawlessly for both sources (TVH and HDHR) so this seems to be a Firefox specific issue. Any ideas? System details: Emby: 3.2.7 Mono: 4.6.2.7 OS: CentOS 7.3 Client details: Firefox 51 and 52 on Linux and Windows.

Sometime in the past week playing video files that are transcoded stopped working in the Android app for me. I was using the Beta, but have also uninstalled and tried the release version, both behave the same. If I direct stream, it plays, but when I changed the bitrate, it will just stay paused with a black screen. Everything seems fine on the server side (it transcodes the entire video, don't see any issues there) but it will not play. I have tried a few different devices with the same result. Using the chrome browser on those devices or on a PC works as expected. I have attached the logs from the Android client, server, and transcode logs. I replaced the server external IP with {SERVER_EXTERNAL_IP). One thing that was interesting to me was that the Android client seemed to try using the server's external IP even though it is connected via WiFi. I am guessing that is the problem, but don't know why it is doing it. Android_App_Log.log Server_Log.txt Transcode_Log.txt
