(Apologies if this is not the correct venue for bug reports, I couldn’t find any other. Please redirect.) After pressing the “cast” button and selecting “Chromecast” in the pop-up, I have to wait a certain time (not sure how long precisely). If I don’t wait for long enough, the video is played back on my phone. This was last observed using Emby 1.4.6 on iOS 11.2.1 on an iPhone SE.

I have a strange issue with nvidia shield tv using emby app. It seems that the "Watched"/"Unwatched" status doesn't get updated after user sets the status on a show/episode/season unless user gets out of season and goes back into it or changes screen. STR 1. Go to a tv show screen/choose a show or episode 2. Press and hold remote button to set an episode to WATCHED or UNWATCHED 3. notice that the show/episode/season doesn't get a new status (green checkbox doesnt appear or disappear) 4. go out of current screen and go back in ** notice that the show or episode now has updated status. This looks like this may be a bug.

Recently, maybe in the last couple months I noticed that when items are moved in a playlist, they are to the wrong location. What I mean is say I have the following playlists with 5 items: +------+ | 1 | +------+ | 2 | +------+ | 3 | +------+ | 4 | +------+ | 5 | +------+ If I try to move this item up to the third spot, after refreshing the page even though it's moved into the third spot, it will end up in the fourth spot. +------+ +------+ +------+ | | | | | | +------+ +------+ +------+ | | | | | | +------+ +------+ +------+ | | ^ | 3 | | | +------+ | +------+ Refresh +------+ | | | | | | 4 | +------+ | +------+ +------+ | 5 | + | | | | +------+ +------+ +------+ This happens every time and it's really irritating when editing playlists as items have to be moved into the spot one above where you want them. When you want to put an item in the first spot it makes things even more difficult.

Hello @@ebr, After reinstalling Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and Emby... I was finally ready to install my plugins. After I installed CoverArt the library failed to display correctly on ET (XBO), and the web (Chrome). I unistalled it, and the library is back to normal. Logs are attached. server-63647331988.txt - CoverArt installed server-63647251200.txt - after uninstalling CoverArt

I've seen this bug twice now using two different Kodi instances on the same emby library. For some reason, some series will be missing from Kodi until a refresh is done on Emby for the missing series. Once that is done, and Kodi receives the update, the missing series is merged with another series, with the title being replaced with the missing series's title, but the episode titles staying the same. An example of it happening: https://imgur.com/a/bpAGY This mostly happens with series using metadata from the Anime plugin, where, for example, TVDb lists it as a single series with multiple seasons, whereas AniDB etc. list it as multiple series. From inspecting the DB, it would seem like the plugin is assigning the same kodi_id to multiple items: https://imgur.com/a/ZLGzW I can upload emby.db and MyVideos60.db if that would be also useful for debugging the issue. I have multiple series with the same problem. Again, normally where the items are in the same series in TVDb, but not in aniDB. This is the log file from kodi, split to show before and after the Emby metadata refresh: https://gist.github.com/Mitame/013c2caba7c4f19d1f595a1fa5b1dcb1 Thanks, - Mitame

Hello, I've started receiving a "Scan media library failed" notification every time my library is scanned. I first encounter this message after I changed my computer's name and did a restart. But from all I can tell it has nothing to do with that. The error message says the folder name is invalid. I've tried to restart, reinstall and still the error is there. I'll attach the log (Just the error report here, I've enabled debugging and run the scan again to make sure the error is there) The ONLY thing I can think of is this: Program data path: C:\Users\env_9\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server Application directory: C:\Users\env_9\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system System.IO.IOException: Mappenavnet er ugyldig ---> "Folder name is invalid" (Translated by me) I'm not on English version of windows, so my "Users" is not called "Users" but "Brukere" - could that be the reason? As I said, I've tried to reinstall, restart emby, restart computer. I'm 100% sure Emby has access to all the files. Media is stored on my NAS and both Emby and the computer have access. And I do not run the server as a service on Windows. What am i missing here? EDIT: I just realized my log files are displayed in Norwegian, ask if you need any translation. error_emby.txt

I am using an external player with Kodi. Once the user finishes watching and clicks on Kodi's dialog "Click 'Ok' when playback has ended", the particular video is marked as watched for a second. After which "Comparing Database" pop-up comes on the top-right corner and the video is again marked as unwatched. This happens even if the video is manually marked as watched after exiting the external player. However, this does not happen when using the built-in Kodi player.

Hey there, there doesn't seem to be any forum for issues with the forum so I put this here: The registration page does a javascript-based check whether the email I'm providing is a valid email address. Putting me@mydomain.agency there causes the clientside check to fail, telling me I'm entering an invalid email address. It does not block the registration, I can submit the form and the registration will succeed.

Last month (Sept 25) I noticed that a large number (37) of previously added movies had suddenly moved to the top of my "Latest Media" movie queue. The same thing just happened again on October 18, but only to two previously added movies. This seemed to happen with no intervention from me. It appears the metadata "date added" field is being reset whenever a new metadata item is added to the folder. I have verified in metadata manager that this field has been changed and no longer reflects the date the movie was added but either Sept 25 or Oct 18 2017. In investigatory mode tonight, I have tried doing something similar manually using the Library settings menu, choosing Scan Library on my Movies library, and then selecting Search for Missing Metadata in the dropdown. So far, manually searching for metadata has not caused the same problem with the "date addded" field, though the scan is still in progress. I will update if it does cause the same problem when the scan finishes. Tonight I have also tried changing the Library > Advanced > Date added behavior for new content from "Use data scanned into library" to "Use file creation date." No change in the (now messed up) Latest Media order was observed after reloading the home page, logging in and out of emby, and restarting the server from settings. I am not sure if this last change will only apply to media added from now forward or should apply to my existing movies. When I look at the directory structure of the actual folder using the OS, I can see that file creation date for the folder is the new, same date as the new metadata while of course the file creation date of the actual movie mp4 file is still the date I added the movie. Note that my movies are organized using the standard folder-movie file convention: Movie Name (2000) > Movie Name (2000).mp4 This is frustrating. I usually add a couple of movies a week or so, and we like to pick what to watch from the most recently added list. I'd attach logs but latest problem was a few days ago and logs have cycled. Maybe if I catch it again, now that I know what to look for.

Howdy, I have been having issues with my setup after switch to streaming to Kodi using direct paths and path substitution on the server side. I have found a work around and am posting here in case someone else was having this issue. Issue: When setting path substitution for folders movies are handled differently than TV shows. EX: For movies the trailing \ is required to resolve a path properly (\\EXAMPLE\Movies\ will resolve correctly but \\EXAMPLE\Movies won't as it merges the file name and the folder name together). TV shows on the other hand behave differently and require the opposite when setting the Path Substitution per folder (\\EXAMPLE\TVShows will resolve correctly but \\EXAMPLE\TVShows\ will not as the Kodi plugin resolves it as SMB:\\EXAMPLE\TVShowsSMB:\\(TVSHOWNAME)). It seems that the movie handler won't add the trailing \ when resolving a network path and the TV handler interprets a trailing \ as SMB:\\ Work around: When setting the path substitution on the server be sure to include a trailing \ (\\EXAMPLE\Movies\) for Movies and when setting the path substitution for TV folders omit the trailing \ (\\EXAMPLE\TVShows) If anyone has any questions please reply and I will try to clear up anything I can.

Hi, I've found a bug in the network credentials add wizard. If the username contains a \ because its authenticating against a domain. It doesn't work, I believe it's doing something with the \ I tried, good number of times reentering it. Reopened Kodi, still no luck. I fixed it but going in to the file manager. Adding a new Source, then when it asked for my SMB credentials I said to remember these credentials for this path. Used my domain\user and then I was able to use Kodi. I hope this can be fixed as I took a while for me to think of another way for Kodi to remember my credentials. Jonny Using Kodi 17.2 I would upload logs but using an Android TV box(Nvidea Shield), so not so easy to grab the logs off it. I'm guessing its converting the character to something else

Hi developer, A little beauty fault in German language: Admin/Liberys The "Add Libery button" Tested: Firefox, Chrome German mistake in writing: Admin/Liberys/Expanded "Bbliothek" is not a word. correctly word: "Bibliothek" I hope I could help

Hello, I have a Windows SMB share where all my TV recordings (from DVBLink) come in. If DVBLink saves the tv show as *.ts file the file grows while recording. Emby recognizes the new file immediately as one minute video file. But Emby doesn't notice that the file gets bigger. Even after the recording is finished in the media library it is shown with one minute and if i play the file after one minute it stops. If i delete the library and add it again it shows the whole video. Can you fix this please

I have attached two screenshots of the Live TV guide. One screen shot is from the web app, the other is from Android app. You will see on the web app screenshot that the guide data is visible for channels 590 and 592. However, when you look at the guide in the Android app, the guide data is not visible for these two channels. The guide data is in fact there, but you have to scroll to the left (backwards in time) all the way until the time that particular program started. In this example, you have to scroll through several hours worth of guide data to see it. The guide data in Android doesn't get "pushed" to the current time block like what happens in the web app.

I have had two of these windows errors over the last 2 days. Emby Shuts down but does restart. I have not had Emby Server throw out windows errors before. So I thought I should report it. This is v3.2.12. Attaching logs. Times the errors occurred were 4/10 around 801AM and 4/10 around 1132PM.

I noticed when you delete something from library the back button does not work right

I'd like to report something really weird that I noticed today. I'm at latest release (don't know at which version it started, it may be a little old), and when I try to browser TV shows and then "Genres", it only shows me TV shows that have DRAMA tag, and hide everything else. too weird. Can you reproduce it? ps: working OK for movies.

So I updated to 3.2.9 thought everything looked good. Until I was editing recordings - Then I see that it recorded the same channel for all the recordings....that's right All I got was five separate copies of Shot Fired on Fox. The recording names are all correct the files are not. Tried watching a couple channels. All I got was Fox. Quick switched it back to 3.2.7 and all looked good. Logs are attached. Thanks for reading, and any help! server-63626418721.txt server-63626393955.txt server-63626418784.txt

Hello, I noticed that when Emby tries to fetch episode metadata from TMDB and there's no title metadata for my language (pt-BR), it uses the whole filename as title, instead of fallbacking to English. Can you reproduce it?

Hi ebr, I have noticed with the latest version ov CoverArt, that server paths do not appear to be working for profiles, I have to specify local paths. I think it would be a better idea if CoverArt is updated to bring it inline with the server... specify a local path as default, then have an optional server path when adding treatment profiles

I have photo sync setup since I installed Emby on my Android phone. (more than a year ago) Last night I was checking the uploaded photos, and I noticed some of them are corrupt (half blank). When comparing them with the original version on my phone, it seems the upload process didn't complete. I guess I can delete all the corrupt pictures, and Emby will try to sync them again for me, but I'd rather rely on the feature to validate the upload automatically. Setup: - Phone: Sony xperia Z1 compact (Emby 2.8.40) - Server: FreeNAS plugin (Emby server 3.1.2.0)

Hi, Emby Server 3.0.8500.0 (Windows 10 64-bit) is unable to serve external .srt subtitles to Samsung Tizen JS9000, whereas Serviio is successfully able to do so. Proper DLNA profile configured for Samsung Tizen TV in Emby and confirmed to be in use. The subtitle profile section contains the below: <SubtitleProfiles> <SubtitleProfile format="srt" method="External" didlMode="CaptionInfoEx" /> </SubtitleProfiles> Wireshark TCP capture for failed Emby external subtitles serving scenario showed the following wrong section: <CaptionInfoEx d3p1:type="srt" xmlns:d3p1="sec" xmlns="sec"> http://10.42.0.167:8096/Videos/e59398b141080a191c061086f182d404/e59398b141080a191c061086f182d404/Subtitles/4/0/Stream.srt </CaptionInfoEx> Wireshark TCP capture for successful Serviio external subtitles serving scenario showed the following correct section: <sec:CaptionInfoEx sec:type="srt"> http://10.42.0.167:8895/resource/1/1_SUBTITLE.srt </sec:CaptionInfoEx> This issue is tied to the methods in MediaBrowser.Dlna/Didl/DidlBuilder.cs which should be checked. Looking forward to have this issue fixed..and making Emby The One & Only ! Regards.

This has happened a couple of times in the last few weeks: I launch the (latest) apple tv emby app, scroll through some tv shows, but the app stops presenting shows to scroll down to before reaching the end of the available shows, then pops ups "error retrieving" (or similar). Then the server (same network) crashes: Dec 2 21:45:45 maxi Emby.Server.Mac[14133]: Emby.Server.Mac(14133,0xb6b33000) malloc: *** error for object 0x26d65d8c: pointer being freed was not allocated Dec 2 21:45:45 maxi Emby.Server.Mac[14133]: Emby.Server.Mac(14133,0xb7343000) malloc: *** error for object 0x16dda2bc: pointer being freed was not allocated Dec 2 21:45:45 maxi com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.emby.server.32992[14133]): Service exited due to signal: Abort trap: 6 Crash log attached.

I found a display bug when using xmltv sources. How to recreate the bug. Go to Guide providers xmltv unselected enable for all tuners and then select one tuner as source. In my case an hdhomerun. Click save. Go back to the home screen. then go back to the xmltv source that you edited. The enable for all tuners is unselected, but no sources are selected. I believe it s display bug only as the guide data is correct, and it saves the channel mapping. Tested in firefox, windows 10 pro emby server. I have 4 hdhomruns 3 sources all xmltv I can upload server log if needed, but is was 11 megs.
