Hey everyone. I would like to ask about Intel Quicksync with ffmpeg, I tried to encode 10bit h264 by ffmpeg but it seems that Intel Quicksync doesn't support h264 10bit unlike hevc, so anyone have idea and if I'm mistaken plz inform me.

I have two concurrent streams available from provider. i wanted to record two shows at the same time. one recorded, the other one didn't. here are the logs: https://pastebin.com/y37Y0e3y ffmpeg log: https://pastebin.com/gcGAELdE MacOS 10.13.6 thank you! tvmainia

Hello, I just upgraded to the latest emby-server version and now I am unable to stream any content. This happens with any browser and any operating system (Windows, Edge, Linux, chromium based ...) After hitting the play button of a recording (tvheadend) or any media file (mkv, avi) I receive the following error: I tried rebooting the server and updating all software but nothing helped. I have tried several types of media all of which I know worked in the past. This is with the emby web player. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ffmpeg.txt embyserver.txt

Hello guys. I use have my emby on a lunux vps. I'm converting movies from mkv to mp4 (without converting video) using the following command inside movie directory: for i in .mkv; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -movflags faststart -c copy -map 0 "${i%.}.mp4"; done Works perfectly converting the files inside the directories. Now I want to do the same thing in files located in several other folders. for example: Servidor (type the command here) Filme1 Filme1.mkv Filme2 Filme2.mkv Filme3 Filme3.mkvDoes anyone know how to do this?

This project is being abandoned in favor of Wolveix's. https://github.com/Wolveix/Plexus Please visit his project to see any future work. Hello, I’m working on a little project to iterate through my NAS and convert all files that are not easily direct played through my Roku. I’m posting it’s Github page here, in case it is of use to anyone else. I’m very open to input, commits, suggestions, etc. I’d love for this to be useful to the community. https://github.com/gorgarp/BatchConverter/

So it appears that the upgrade to 4.0 effected a total wipe and rebuild of chapter images. Wow. I'm about 5 hours into a library scan with no end in sight. Not complaining, per se, but I was curious from the technical side what changes necessitated this. I know you rebuilt transcoding from the ground up. What changed in chapter images, etc.?

The text in English will follow. Je suis nouveau avec Emby et Synology. J'ai fait un mini test d'EMBY et je suis antousiasmé par les résultats. J'ai transmis un fichier video MKV à mon chromecast à partir d'un fichier video avec son Eac3 et en prime les sous-titres ont suivis. Voici la démarche de ce qui ne fonctionne pas bien: * J'ai installé "Emby pour android" sur mon cellulaire * J'ai bloqué spécifiquement l'application Emby pour qu'il n'utilise pas les données Internet mobile * J'ai activé les journeaux sur Synology pour obtenir la trace de ce qui accède les fichiers * J'ai bloqué la connexion WIFI et j'ai fait un test de EMBY client. Voici les résultats: * Même s'il n'a pas de droit d'accès aux données mobile Emby client continue de fournir l'accès aux films. J'ai vérifié et localement il ne semble y avoir aucun film de stoké sur le poste. De plus, la consommation Internet mobile associé à l'application augmente et ce, même accès bloqués à Internet mobile. * Lorsque je suis en Wifi ou avec les données Internet mobile débloquées je vois soit mon ip local ou soit mon ip du mobile dans les journeaux de Synology. * Lorsque le Wifi et les données Internet mobile sont bloqués aucun accès n'est enregistré dans les journeaux du Synology. Questions: * Emby utilise t-il un cloud pour obtenir une copie des films? Si oui, comment le désactiver ? Sinon, comment les obtient-ils sans accéder au Synology (rien dans les journaux de Synology quand tout acès Internet est bloqué sur le Synology) ? * Comment bloquer totalement l'accès aux données Internet mobile pour Emby client. * Comment Emby respecte-t-il la vie privée de ses utilisateurs ? Où se retrouvent les données ?

Et cela fonctionne quand même. Merci de vos réponses =============================================== I am new to Emby and Synology. I did a mini test of EMBY and I am excited by the results. I transmitted a MKV video file to my chromecast from a video file with his Eac3 and as a bonus the subtitles followed. Here is the approach of what does not work well: * I installed "Emby for android" on my cell * I specifically blocked the Emby application so that it does not use mobile Internet data * I enabled the logs on Synology to get a record of what accesses the files * I blocked the WIFI connection and did a client EMBY test. Here are the results: * Even though he does not have access rights to mobile data Emby client continues to provide access to movies. I checked and locally there seems to be no stock movie on the mobil. In addition, the mobile Internet consumption associated with the application Emby increases and this same access blocked mobile Internet. * When I am on Wifi or with unlocked mobile internet data I see either my local ip or my mobile ip in the Synology logs. * When Wi-Fi and mobile Internet data are blocked, no access is recorded in Synology's logs. Questions: * Does Emby use a cloud to get a copy of the movies? If so, how to disable it? If not, how do they get them without accessing Synology (nothing in Synology's logs when all Internet access is blocked on Synology)? * How to completely block access to mobile Internet data for Emby client. * How does Emby respect the privacy of its users? Where are the data?

And it works anyway. Thank you for your answers

Hi, I just installed Emby and it works perfectly. Except the images. I cannot access them and that's what I saw in the log: 2018-12-10 17:06:50.191 Error App: Image Provider - Error reading image tag for /mnt/media/test.jpg *** Error Report *** Version: 3.5.3.0 Command line: /opt/emby-server/system/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /var/lib/emby -ffmpeg /opt/emby-server/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /opt/emby-server/bin/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3 -updatepackage emby-server-deb_{version}_amd64.deb Operating system: Unix 4.15.0.42 64-Bit OS: True 64-Bit Process: True User Interactive: True Processor count: 1 Program data path: /var/lib/emby Application directory: /opt/emby-server/system TagLib.CorruptFileException: Expected SOI marker at the start of the file. at TagLib.Jpeg.File.ValidateHeader() at TagLib.Jpeg.File.Read(ReadStyle propertiesStyle) at TagLib.File.Create(IFileAbstraction abstraction, String mimetype, ReadStyle propertiesStyle) at Emby.Photos.PhotoProvider.FetchAsync(Photo item, MetadataRefreshOptions options, CancellationToken cancellationToken) TagLib.CorruptFileException at TagLib.Jpeg.File.ValidateHeader() at TagLib.Jpeg.File.Read(ReadStyle propertiesStyle) at TagLib.File.Create(IFileAbstraction abstraction, String mimetype, ReadStyle propertiesStyle) at Emby.Photos.PhotoProvider.FetchAsync(Photo item, MetadataRefreshOptions options, CancellationToken cancellationToken) The file is not corrupted, I can open it with any other file manager. Edit: Solved. Just had to rescan everything.

With the recent move by FreeNAS to 11.2, and the corresponding move from warden to iocage, I had been putting off my FreeNAS upgrade as all my plugins were still working. I finally made the jump to 11.2rc2, and had to rebuild my plugins that use the iocage backend. The install via plugin of Emby 3.5.3.0 worked without issue using the new UI. After adding the video libraries and re-scanning, everything seemed normal. Playback worked on ios clients without incident, but other clients had playback issues with ffmpeg errors in the logs. After searching several threads I found a solution. Here is a step-by-step of the fix for those experiencing this issue. Go easy, it's my first attempt. Also, thanks to all you gurus who helped me along the way with posts like this. This assumes you have: FreeNAS 11.2rc2 Emby installed via plugin using iocage Playback issues, with ffmpeg as the prime suspect 1. Enter the shell of your Emby jail, either via the GUI jail shell, or using SSH If using SSH, from the freenas root prompt type "jls" to get a list of your jails, followed by "jexec #" where # is the emby jail number 2. You should now be at the root prompt of your Emby iocage jail. Now enter "portsnap fetch extract" This will take some time 3. Once the process completes, you should be back to the root prompt of the emby jail. type "cd /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg" type "make install clean" When prompted, make sure to check lame, opus, and x265 (libass was not listed for me, but check it if it's there) This process will take some time as well, and you'll have to press enter a bunch of times, just leave everything else as default If everything worked correctly, you should be back at the root prompt of the emby jail 4. Now we need to edit the emby startup script to use the new ffmpeg we just compiled type "vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/emby-server" There are 5 lines that we need to edit (example of mine, make the changes to match the red text) [ -z "${emby_server_user}" ] && emby_server_user=emby [ -z "${emby_server_group}" ] && emby_server_group=emby [ -z "${emby_server_data_dir}" ] && emby_server_data_dir=/var/db/emby-server [ -z "${emby_server_ffmpeg}" ] && emby_server_ffmpeg=/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg [ -z "${emby_server_ffprobe}" ] && emby_server_ffprobe=/usr/local/bin/ffprobe : ${emby_server_enable:="no"} : ${emby_server_user:="emby"} : ${emby_server_group:="emby"} : ${emby_server_data_dir:="/var/db/emby-server"} : ${emby_server_ffmpeg:="/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg"} : ${emby_server_ffprobe:="/usr/local/bin/ffprobe"} export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib 5. Save the file, return to the FreeNAS GUI and restart the emby server plugin. Playback issues should now be resolved.

I have a script to convert a folder of MP3 audio files to M4A; my MP3 files's bitrates vary, some are 192k and some are 128k. I'm noticing that the bitrate of the M4A files are all getting bumped down to 128k. I'd like to retain their existing bitrate. What am I doing wrong? I put the files in a folder and run this command from shell: FOR /F "tokens=*" %G IN ('dir /b *.mp3') DO ffmpeg -i "%G" -map_metadata 0 -c:v copy -c:a aac "%~nG.m4a"

Hi, I'm currently considering if I want to move all of the data out of the house into the cloud. Also because when I'm not at home and still want to watch a movie or serie why send it over the internet connection to the house. I don't have fiber to the home only a 4G connection with 16/25Mbit up. Also because of the 4G I don't have a public IP adres to connect to so I have a VPS on the internet, from my home I have a VPN connection setup to that VPS and connections from the internet to the servers at home are send through the VPN tunnel. And over that connection I have to stream the movie to my laptop when I'm in a hotel. It works but why not on the internet. The main reason to NOT do it wat the price of datastorage, but I currently have a remote internet disk with 2TB of space for 95 euro's a year. So that is not a reason to NOT do it. Ok now the situation, when I connect my android media box with the Emby TV plugin to the current local Emby server everything works wel, my mp4 movie is send to the device so no issue. Do I do the same with my test server on the internet, that one is triggering ffmpeg to transcode the movie. The only difference is that I have a Nginx proxy server for the internet Emby server. But thought the web-client ffmpeg is not triggerd. Why is ffmpeg transcoding the movie from the one Emby server and the other Emby server is just streaming the mp4 file without transcoding. thx.

Hi there guys! I have emby installed on my tinkerboard. Since I always make sure to have my files encoded in the right format it works splendidly for streaming movies and shows to me and my partner. Weirdly, though, when my partner is streaming on her MacBook the video files always get remuxed. This proves to be too much to handle comfortably and the videostream buffers heavily every once in a while. In the dashboard I get this notification: The media is compatible with the device regarding resolution and media type (H.264, AC3, etc.), but is in an incompatible file container (.mkv, .avi, .wmv, etc.). The video will be re-packaged on the fly before streaming it to the device. The file container I use for all of my files is mkv. Which would be the right container for MacOS Mojave? From the ffmpeg log I could deduce that it is remuxing to a .ts file container. I already remuxed a file by hand to this container format, to see if it would be helping but the problem persists. Here is an excerpt from the ffmpeg log: Does anyone have any experience with streaming to MacOS in the Web App and could help me out?

Hi, When I am trying to transcode 4K HEVC, I get the following error: [AVHWFramesContext @ 0x7fc9e006fc00] Failed to read image from surface 0x19: 1 (operation failed). Metadata: [hevc @ 0x555e9355a680] Failed to transfer data to output frame: -5. title : Chapter 5 Error while processing the decoded data for stream #0:0 Chapter #0:5: start 3008.964000, end 3781.778000 Conversion failed! The appropriate ffmpeg command is: /usr/bin/ffmpeg -ss 00:14:24.000 -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_output_format yuv420p -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i file:"input.mkv" -threads 0 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -codec:v:0 h264_vaapi -filter_complex "[0:3]scale=3840:2160:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease[sub];[0:0][sub]overlay,format=nv12|vaapi,hwupload" -b:v 134494486 -maxrate 134494486 -bufsize 268988972 -profile:v 578 -level 41 -force_key_frames "expr:if(isnan(prev_forced_t),eq(t,t),gte(t,prev_forced_t+3))" -copyts -vsync -1 -codec:a:0 libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 384000 -af "volume=2" -f segment -max_delay 5000000 -avoid_negative_ts disabled -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 -start_at_zero -segment_time 3 -segment_time_delta -864 -individual_header_trailer 0 -segment_format mpegts -segment_list_type m3u8 -segment_start_number 288 -segment_list "/var/lib/emby/transcoding-temp/eda42ffc9546dbc9de88c2f0307fc5a7.m3u8" -y "/var/lib/emby/transcoding-temp/eda42ffc9546dbc9de88c2f0307fc5a7%d.ts" Now, interestingly, if I change the -hwaccel_output_format flag to "vaapi" instead of "yuv420p" and remove the -filter_complex flag, the transcoding works. I am wondering if Emby may need to modify the commands for transcoding HEVC content? I've also attached my ffmpeg log for reference. I am using a Radeon RX 560 with VA API. Thanks! ffmpeg-log.txt emby-log.txt

Don't know if this is allowed in an Emby forum, but seeing as you guys seem to use and like ffmpeg quite a bit - Am trying to take 50fps mp4 and turn it into 25fps mp4. This seems to work ... ffmpeg -i name.mp4 -r 25 name_25.mp4 Does anyone know how to make a Windows bat file that would do that for a bunch of mp4 files in a folder, so that the are all changed to 25fps and with a modified name so that the originals are kept. Thanks very much. Edit: I browsed around on Google and tried a few suggestions but they didn't work.

Hey, I've looked all over the forums for an answer to this, even an indirect answer to no avail. I would like to use more settings than the ones on the web portal for transcoding(i.e.: changing framerates, etc.) with FFMPEG but can;t find any documentation on how to edit the ffmpeg command parameters. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Bom dia! Estou rodando o EMBY em uma maquina conforme imagem em anexo. Mas não consigo colocar mais que 5 usuário simultâneos poque o processamento chega ao limite. O que estou fazendo de errado? Para um correto dimensionamento ao implantar o EMBY o que devo considerar? A previsão em meu projeto é de 40 acessos simultâneos.

Hello! I'm having a problem today while trying to setup emby on a "Feral Hosting" Server. If you look in the title you can see my main error.... I've made sure the files ffmpeg and ffprobe are executable. I'm not sure if emby has any permissions or not based on this piece from your emby wizard "For Linux on Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, OpenSuse, or Ubuntu, you must grant the Emby system user at least read access to your storage locations." This could be my main problem not too sure, but it got into my media folder just fine... I'm using the latest 3.4.2 build. I've also tried linking directly to the ffmpeg file itself with no luck. I'm a huge beginner when it comes to this stuff so I'm sorry if I haven't provided enough info about this problem

I just noticed that when I launch a live TV stream the server is creating two ffmpeg processes, both using a good amount of CPU. I thought it may have something to do with having Mediabrowser Server and Emby Server in the programs list, so I uninstalled both and reinstalled Emby Server 3.2.70.0, but the problem still exist. I do not recall this behavior happening before the upgrade and I think my previous version was 3.2.36.0. I have tried multiple channels and different browsers using the same transcoding setting of 360p since I am accessing over the WAN. Environment Detail: Windows Server 2012R2 Intel Xeon E3-1226 v3 @3.3GHz 32GB DDR3 Samsung Pro 256GB SSD

I just noticed that Task Manager is reporting 2 instances of ffmpeg when ever i transcode one stream....Is this normal? (there also is 2 Electron instances that are always there when sever is running)

When setting the CRF option in the transcoding options to "0" the file fails to play and FFmpeg presents an error as shown below. Probably missing something... :/ Ideas? Application version: 3.2.36.2 http://192.168.0.3:40330/emby/videos/418d80970834ea0588c1bb0697edb255/hls1/main/0.ts?DeviceId=0f646ede5a6cee1566fe5433befcb07c53005e86&MediaSourceId=418d80970834ea0588c1bb0697edb255&VideoCodec=h264&AudioCodec=mp3,aac&AudioStreamIndex=1&VideoBitrate=59616000&AudioBitrate=384000&PlaySessionId=fd290cd71b4c488e96b899a3076fe5c1&api_key=99bd3ef4dc7841fbb78343b4dded2dce&CopyTimestamps=false&TranscodingMaxAudioChannels=2&EnableSubtitlesInManifest=false&Tag=f6d58280eee7c62ff832b22128ed19cd&RequireAvc=true&RequireNonAnamorphic=false&SegmentContainer=ts&MinSegments=1&BreakOnNonKeyFrames=True&h264-profile=high,main,baseline,constrainedbaseline&h264-level=51&h264-deinterlace=true {"Protocol":"File","Id":"418d80970834ea0588c1bb0697edb255","Path":"/media/HDD/TV Shows/The Man in the High Castle/Season 2/S02E01 -

Hi, I am a newbie to Emby, although I have extensively used Plex for many many years, so not a newcomer to running my own media server. I thought I would try out Emby as all my Movies I normally Direct Play on Plex to a Chromecast v2 (Wired) are being forced to Transcode, and although Plex have replicated the issue in house, I am now 4 months down the line and still no sign of a fix, seems unpicking the Streaming Brain they introduced is not a priority. Anyway I had no issues setting up Emby as far as I can tell, I can direct play most movies and tv shows to my Android phone without issue, the problem comes however when tried to play my blu-ray rips via my Chromecast. I can see from the Emby dashboard they are being direct played, however on the server the ffmpeg (thought that was for transcoding only?) seems to get stuck in a repeated loop resulting in no playback showing at all on screen. The play and pause button seem to flicker between each other every few seconds or so.

Hi guys, I'm using the DVBViewer Media Server and Plugin to record my LiveTV with teletext subtitles. My mum is hard of hearing so I need the teletext and hence must record as .ts for this feature. Live TV plays OK, (subtitles don't show up <-- separate issue), but playback of the recorded files fails. Here's the Playback Log below with the ffmpeg errors. I also thought this is interesting on the first line... TranscodeReasons=SubtitleCodecNotSupported I can share the video file if required. I tried replacing ffmpeg with the latest version to see if it helps but same error. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Phil.

Before anyone suggests to convert the discs to MKV files that is NOT an option. The two discs for season 10 of the Big Bang Theory work just fine in my setup with PDVD 16 playing them back flawless and menus to boot. From the attached screenshots you can see that Disc1 has incorrect video (1080i), frame rate (29.97) and audio (AC3 2.0) while Disc2 has the correct video (1080p), frame rate (23.976) and audio (DTS-HD MA 5.1). In the BDMV folders the first 18 files in the Stream subfolder are identical for both discs, 19th file is the first episode for each disc. Why does FFMPEG flag disc 1 incorrectly but disc 2 correctly? From the Stream folder the largest M2TS file is for disc 1 the 39 minute Comic Con event which happens to have MBAFF encoding and only 1 AC3 2.0 audio tract, while the largest on disc 2 is an actual episode. Looks like whatever the largest file is will determine the media info, which will produce incorrect results. What is the latest version of FFMPEG that can be used by EMBY and how can it be replaced manually? If incorrect media info is being obtained is there a way to manually enter the correct values somewhere? I am aware of the fact that mediainfo.dll is no longer being used but what is used at present for identifying discs is not very good. I am open to suggestions, but just not any MKV conversions Big Bang Theory Season 10 Disc 1. Big Bang Theory Season 10 Disc 12

I thought I'd post my emby post-processing dvr script. Tested and working on Debian Linux 8.9 Files processed end up being named *originalvideoname*.ts.mkv so i can search by that and make sure recordings have no issues. After I look at them, I manually rename to just .mkv. I do not have automatically convert recordings checked or the two preserve boxes checked under live tv --> settings. Script flow: see if lockfile exists. if so wait 60 sec create lockfile commerical scan and commerical cutting ccextractor to pull out closed captions and convert to srt file Encode to h264 using ffmpeg and combine in srt file from previous step Trim off first 60 sec from recording (due to iptv delay you get a minute from previous show. I have recordings set to last 1 min longer in emby record. The shows using my OTA tuners start early by 1 min to compensate) Remove srt/extra files Overwrite original ts recording delete lockfile Depends on: comskip, comcut (comchap optional), ccextractor, ffmpeg I eventually want to fool around with a nvidia gtx 1050 and see how nevnc with hevc/h265 works on the ffmpeg encoding line. Software h265 encoding on very fast saves an additional 30-40% space on same setting as h264 on medium but my encoding framerate goes from 420fps (14x) to 69fps (2.3x) on dual Xeon e5-2670s.
