When I stream a video from Emby, the UI pops up as if the video is about to start, than it disappears. After looking into my server activity, it shows the movie started and then finished, all within the same minute. This happens both with my android phone and computer both casting to the chromecast. And my Emby Server app on my android box isn't playing anything either... Everything is up to date. I don't know what else it could be.

Hey, here I am once again, trying to use Emby offline. This time around, it's random order of episodes. So to reproduce: - Go to "My Downloads" - Scroll down to the bottom after "Latest Downloaded Videos" to find the library (also a bit annoying, would be much easier if it was on top) - Choose a TV show - Choose a season Now you get an episode list in kind of random order. I checked the show "Altered Carbon", and the episodes were shown in the following order: 9, 2, 10, 5, 1, 4, 7, 3, 8, 6 I also checked the show "Dirty Money" and this was the order: 6, 3, 1, 5, 4, 2 It doesn't seem to be sorted by episode name either.

I have Emby running on a Windows server 2016 in a data center. I am always connecting to the external port with ssl enabled. After streaming for some time on any given day the external port within Emby closes and I cant access the server remotely. I have to RDP into the server and restart Emby to get the port to open again. When I RDP in I can see Emby on the LAN port. Windows firewall has the external port open and the network firewall has the port open. I know its somewhere in Emby that has the problem. I used to use the auto restart plugin to restart Emby server every 24 hours but now that that is gone i have to do it manually. Does anyone have any recommendations to a good fix for this problem in the current version of Emby?

I just did a reset of my whole system and reinstalled emby 3.0.5786 and recognized that the last.fm scrobbler plugin was completely gone from the catalog. I know that they pretty much messed up their API, but are there chances that scrobbling music from emby will come back anytime?

Have tried to search for an existing thread on the subject but could not find. I am experiencing issues with a few titles in my library where the metadata is impossible to update. I cant seem to find any particular similarities between the titles (filetype etc.) It just seems to be random. It can download data from a dataprovider such as TMDB but if I try to change something (add/remove Genre, tags etc.) when I press "Save" it just gets stuck with the turning saving icon forever (tried leaving it for an hour but nothing. We are talking maybe maximum 2-5% of my titles. Anyone that can give directions on how to solve? Log.txt

Bug: Image Fetcher settings are not saved if other edits have been made and not saved first. Workaround is to manage the Image Fetchers BEFORE making any other changes Severity: Important/High OS/Apps Effected: Server (via Web) OS/Apps Effected relates to hardware that I have access too. If it doesn't state other OSes, it's not that it doesn't exist, rather it's that I don't have the hardware to check for it.

So this strange interface bug just started appearing for me. My set-up is a bit convoluted, but essentially I'm running Emby in a FreeBSD jail on FreeNAS, which itself is virtualised on a Proxmox VM host with PCI passthrough of a HBA for HDDs. Yesterday I replaced my HBA with a different one and upgraded Proxmox from version 3.4 to 5.2. Everything and all my numerous other containers and VMs have been running smoothly with absolutely no issues since upgrading. Except Emby. The video playback interface is obviously missing abunch of stuff. Full screen button, subtitle selection, quality selection, artwork, etc. The progress bar and FF buttons are broken too. Volume control and pause work, but have some other bugs. And then when returning to the main menu via the back button (which usually also has the logo of the media, but not anymore), the playing video stays in the background. Video example: https://webm.xyz/webm/5b28c665491325000fb413a6 Since everything else is working fine I don't think there's a problem with my set-up, rather I think maybe Emby got shutdown uncleanly prior to upgrading which triggered these errors? I've ascertained that it's not due to an incorrectly set up reverse proxy, as this also happens locally when directly connecting to Emby. When using my reverse proxy, web socket connections don't work, but locally they do. This happens both with Chromium and Firefox. The Emby server logs show no errors (except the ones regarding TLS1.2 and Github). The Javascript console in the Browser shows a few errors on the main page already: Edit: this one is actually due to adblock Loading failed for the <script> with source “http://<localname>/web/bower_components/emby-webcomponents/fullscreen/fullscreen-doubleclick.js?v=3.4.1.0”. index.html:1 RequireJS error: Error: Load failed: bower_components/emby-webcomponents/fullscreen/fullscreen-doubleclick: http://<localname>/web/bower_components/emby-webcomponents/fullscreen/fullscreen-doubleclick.js?v=3.4.1.0.

Edit: see above, this error is caused by adblock, it is unrelated to the problem though.

TV Model: LG 55UH850V Smart 3D 4k TV WebOS Version: 3.3.3-3704 (dreadlocks-dharug) Software Version: 05.30.10 Emby App Version: 1.06 Server Version: 3.3.1.0 Description of issue: During playback of content, the playback controls occasionally stop showing up when an arrow button is pressed and all control (pause, skip back or forward, Close Caption selection) of the content bar coming out of it completely, stops working. Only the show logo appears on screen when you attempt to get playback controls up. This seems to occur more often if I allow video to Continue on after an episode, but has also happened to me on the first item I play.

OK, this is my bug report format. If it's OK no need to say but if you would prefer a different method, just let me know. Bug: "Collections" name doesn't follow renaming convention Severity: Cosmetic OS/Apps Effected: Web, LG TV, Android The OS/Apps Effected relate to hardware that I have access too. If it doesn't state other OSes, it's not that it doesn't exist, rather it's that I don't have the hardware to check for it.

I have found 2 (related) bugs which are the same in both the Android and Web versions of Emby in that when the "Latest Movies" list or "Latest Trailers" list are scrolled, they just scroll indefinitely without any new images / details showing up after a certain number of images are displayed (no overflow cutoff). You then have to scroll back the same number of (blank) pages in the list to show images again. I suspect there is a cap on the list count stored in the apps but there is no check for this value so as to stop scrolling. This is just a cosmetic bug but in case people scroll/slide continuously waiting for images to appear, it will never happen. In addition, I have found another bug but I'm having to figure out how to get logs and report it as it's on the LG TV App. If I go into any section on the TV if forces the server to shutdown and I have to do a manual restart of the server to be able to connect again. I need to go into more depth and investigation on this as it takes time to use the LG App, make the server "crash" check the log to see if anything has been reported and then start the process over again if there is no information regarding the "crash" logged. I'm not sure if this is how I'm supposed to report bugs or whether there is a bug tracker which I haven't managed to discover either in the forums or in any of the apps I use (Web, Android and LG TV).

Bug: Side scrolling lists scroll indefinitely with blank images / no details being shown Severity: Cosmetic OS/Apps Effected: Web OS/Apps NOT Effected: LG TV, Android OS/Apps Effected relates to hardware that I have access too. If it doesn't state other OSes, it's not that it doesn't exist, rather it's that I don't have the hardware to check for it. OS/Apps NOT Effected relates to hardware that I have access too and has been confirmed it doesn't occur in these OSes

Hi, I was checking out the new sorting options in the Apple TV app (really good, BTW) and after I sorted by budget... the app stopped showing movies. I can still get to them by Genre or Search, but All now just shows me a blank screen. I tried restarting the server, the Apple TV, removing and re-adding the app and nothing worked. Movies displayed fine in the web app. I checked through the logs and it looks like Budget isn't available in my SQLite DB.

Screenshot example: Translation by Emby Translation Center: "Unable to switch audio track" Problem description Emby for Android TV, in Xiaomi Mi Box 3, does not reproduces MP3 audio in ANY video file with dual audio where the codec of the first audio is MP3 and the second is AAC or AC3. Emby automatically switches to the next audio (although still reporting being on the first, watch video below). ALL video files with all other combinations described below work seamlessly (included single and dual MP3 audios): Dual AAC + AAC Dual AC3 + AAC Dual AC3 + AC3 Dual MP3 + MP3 !!! Single MP3 !!! Single AAC I tested approximately 70 video files to substantiate these claims. Considering this obvious relationship from the beginning, I did not analyze other variables that could be also common to all files where the problem was manifested. The same files played normally on: Emby App for Android Mobile Emby Web (browser) Emby DLNA from Android Mobile app for Samsung Smart TV model 2014 Problem in action (video): https://photos.app.goo.gl/iaQxfAMsQAAZBeG89 Example of media file that presented the problem: I hope this can catch the attention of the developers and provide informations for a brief solution. P.S.: I sent two or three logs following the instructions of this page, around 7 A.M. GMT-3 through the local user "Ibraim" where the error occurred while trying to play the files "Elementary 05x08 WEB 720p Dual Dinho.mkv" and "Riverdale.S02E17.720p.WEB.DUAL.WWW.COMANDOTORRENTS.COM.mkv".

I have tried various XML TV guide files and there was a time a got it working just like that. Got it working? It's not so hard right? It's pretty much straight forward... Yes it is but I believe there is a bug in Emby Synology Version 3.3.1.0 Every time I refresh the XML guide it is done way to soon (I'm talking about 2 seconds or something). This really should have taken a lot longer. But you know what, let's start mapping channels anyway... But when I try to map the channels with the EPG channels it goes wrong. Clicking on MAPPING CHANNELS enters a popup where I do see the channels from the XML file but when I click on the pencil next to a channel to map it to an EPG channel the screen does get a little darker (as it would do when another popup with EPG channels would appear) but that's it. No popup and nothing to see. When I then click any part of the screen the screen gets normal lighting again like nothing happend... The problem is that I therefor can't map any channels so I can't record any TV series... Anyone ideas what this might be? PS: I have cleared browser cache and even tried the same thing on 3 different browsers all giving the same result... If you would like to check the XMLTV file that nused to work: http://d52255a1.static.ziggozakelijk.nl/xmltv.xml See screenies for extra info. UPDATE ****** When I (with all the pain in my heart) completely uninstall the Emby app and then re-install again there is a change (so NOT ALWAYS) the XML TV guide import works (taking way longer and mapping to EPG channels does work). But this couldn't be the solution right..?

Problem: - I configure a user to be able to only see certain folders - User still can see movies from forbidden folders from the main page, in "Latest Movies" section

Hi, I installed the last update from the web, and I saw that now some movies don't work. This is the message I get: First thing I thought that I delete that movie and is not there anymore but is there with format "mkv". And for other movies also "mkv" doesn't happen. Is very strange.

I thought I would bring this up. I am using latest beta on android Shield TV and it looks like user switching never works. Prerequisites Have more than 2+ users in your emby server both attached to emby.media usernames STR: 1. Login into emby with 1 user on your shield tv 2. Make sure automatic logout setting is set in settings for the app. 3. Press home button 4. Get back into emby same user is logged in as before. 5. Kill app 6. Get back into emby ** same thing same user is logged in 7. Press log out in the emby app (not emby connect) 8. Get back into emby 9. Same user is logged in 10. Do logout 11. Kill the app 12. Get back into emby 13** you're presented with user login screen. It seems that user switching never really works unless you try to force logout of connect from the app Expected result: After app is suspended after the time is specified in the settings user should be presented with the pin entry screen. Or also have a switch user button or lock user button. Note plex app presents the user with a pin entry after the app is suspended.

(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.
