Kodi platform/version: Raspberry Pi 3/OpenELEC 6.95.3/Kodi 16.1 Emby platform/version: Ubuntu 16.04.1/Emby 3.0.8500.0 When streaming video from my Emby server using Direct Paths (SMB), my RPi3 will eventually "hang". Here's how it looks: the playback of video and audio will stop, and the application will seem to be frozen, so I won't be able to press "Stop" to stop the playback; it will be this way from 30s to a 1.5 minutes (didn't actually count the time); after which it will "unfreeze". The playback stops, I'm back at the main menu, all the functions I requested while in the freeze will activate at once, so if I pressed left/right back/enter, those keypresses will register all at once - this you can tell by the menu sounds going off multiple times at once. After that, the freezing will come at least once every 10 minutes, looking basically the same, until I reboot the Pi, and the issue will go away for some time. Here are some things of note. 1.) It's actually the playback that's frozen, not the application itself, because, while frozen, the "enter" key on my remote is still functional: it will bring up the overlay menu, which I will be able to browse (pressing left/right to select play, fast forward, stop) but none of the functions will actually work. And external .srt subtitles will continue to work for some time, on top of the frozen footage (but will eventually freeze too); I didn't test .srt subtitles that are muxed into the file, though. 2.) Non-Emby playback has no issues. Just connecting to the source server using SMB and opening up my .mkv's manually results in no playback issues what so ever. I watched full movies like this without any freezes. I synced the time on my Pi with my clock and tried to capture the exact time the freeze occured. The first time I was late by about 10 seconds, the second time by about 2, in any case, here are two extracts that seem to capture the first line logged around the time the freeze "unfroze", these lines are provided separately later. I am also providing the original log. The freeze occured at approx. 01:12:53 01:06:55 2757.003906 T:1767895968 NOTICE: EMBY.kodimonitor -> Method: Player.OnPlay Data: {"item":{"id":1167,"type":"episode"},"player":{"playerid":1,"speed":1}} 01:06:55 2757.072021 T:1588024224 NOTICE: EMBY.websocket_client -> Message: {"MessageType":"UserUpdated","Data":{"Name":"Pavel","ServerId":"87f837e661c0405bb803a5f0b8f0e921","Id":"d678a5190ca348e38923a0b5d6d95c59","HasPassword":false,"HasConfiguredPassword":false,"HasConfiguredEasyPassword":false,"LastLoginDate":"2016-11-13T16:11:47.0385020Z","LastActivityDate":"2016-11-13T22:06:55.0908150Z","Configuration":{"AudioLanguagePreference":"eng","PlayDefaultAudioTrack":false,"SubtitleLanguagePreference":"","DisplayMissingEpisodes":false,"DisplayUnairedEpisodes":false,"GroupedFolders":[],"SubtitleMode":"None","DisplayCollectionsView":false,"EnableLocalPassword":false,"OrderedViews":[],"LatestItemsExcludes":[],"PlainFolderViews":[],"HidePlayedInLatest":true,"RememberAudioSelections":true,"RememberSubtitleSelections":true,"EnableNextEpisodeAutoPlay":true},"Policy":{"IsAdministrator":true,"IsHidden":false,"IsDisabled":false,"BlockedTags":[],"EnableUserPreferenceAccess":true,"AccessSchedules":[],"BlockUnratedItems":[],"EnableRemoteControlOfOtherUsers":true,"EnableSharedDeviceControl":true,"EnableLiveTvManagement":true,"EnableLiveTvAccess":true,"EnableMediaPlayback":true,"EnableAudioPlaybackTranscoding":true,"EnableVideoPlaybackTranscoding":true,"EnablePlaybackRemuxing":true,"EnableContentDeletion":false,"EnableContentDownloading":true,"EnableSync":true,"EnableSyncTranscoding":true,"EnabledDevices":[],"EnableAllDevices":true,"EnabledChannels":[],"EnableAllChannels":true,"EnabledFolders":[],"EnableAllFolders":true,"InvalidLoginAttemptCount":0,"EnablePublicSharing":true}}} 01:10:08 2950.949707 T:1767895968 NOTICE: EMBY.ga_client -> GA: {'cid': '7837a74be1a1b19fedfac7b8b619291c', 'sr': '1360x768', 'v': '1', 'ea': 'PlayPing', 'ec': 'PlayAction', 'an': 'Kodi4Emby', 'ul': 'Russian', 't': 'event', 'av': '2.3.6', 'tid': 'UA-85356267-1', 'aid': '1', 'ua': 'Kodi/16.1 (Linux Rpi)', 'ds': 'plugin'} 01:13:12 3134.039795 T:1294988192 ERROR: Read - Error( -1, 22, Invalid argument ) - Retrying 01:13:42 3164.047119 T:1294988192 ERROR: Read - Error( -1, 22, Invalid argument ) 01:13:42 3164.047852 T:1294988192 NOTICE: CDVDPlayer::OnExit() 01:13:42 3164.047852 T:1294988192 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: eof, waiting for queues to empty 01:13:42 3164.047852 T:1294988192 NOTICE: Closing stream player 1 01:13:42 3164.047852 T:1294988192 NOTICE: CDVDMessageQueue(audio)::WaitUntilEmpty 01:13:42 3164.048096 T:1294988192 NOTICE: Waiting for audio thread to exit 01:13:42 3164.048096 T:1367339936 NOTICE: thread end: CDVDPlayerAudio::OnExit() 01:13:42 3164.048096 T:1294988192 NOTICE: Closing audio device 01:13:42 3164.048340 T:1294988192 NOTICE: Deleting audio codec 01:13:42 3164.048340 T:1294988192 NOTICE: Closing stream player 2 01:13:42 3164.048340 T:1294988192 NOTICE: CDVDMessageQueue(video)::WaitUntilEmpty 01:13:42 3164.055908 T:1294988192 NOTICE: waiting for video thread to exit 01:13:42 3164.055908 T:1397748640 ERROR: Got MSGQ_ABORT or MSGO_IS_ERROR return true 01:13:42 3164.055908 T:1397748640 NOTICE: thread end: video_thread 01:13:42 3164.056152 T:1294988192 NOTICE: deleting video codec 01:13:42 3164.059082 T:1294988192 NOTICE: Closing stream player 3 01:13:42 3164.147461 T:1963307008 NOTICE: CDVDPlayer::CloseFile() 01:13:42 3164.147461 T:1963307008 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: waiting for threads to exit 01:13:42 3164.147705 T:1963307008 NOTICE: DVDPlayer: finished waiting 01:13:42 3164.170654 T:1767895968 NOTICE: EMBY.player -> Played_information: {'smb://KODIBUNTU/6tb_HDD_root/TV2/X-Files/Season 7/the.x-files.s07e21.1080p.bluray.x264-rovers.mkv': {'paused': False, 'refresh_id': 'c2001244c8b181459f8d9b9d803190eb', 'AudioStreamIndex': 1, 'SubtitleStreamIndex': 2, 'currentPosition': 1528.31103515625, 'item_id': 'a0de9b6db4f3bf07d4f4d954b13a57dc', 'currentfile': 'smb://KODIBUNTU/6tb_HDD_root/TV2/X-Files/Season 7/the.x-files.s07e21.1080p.bluray.x264-rovers.mkv', 'runtime': 26831900000L, 'Type': 'Episode', 'playmethod': 'DirectPlay'}} The freeze occured at approx. 01:15:37 (NOTE: it's almost 2 minutes after the initial freeze) 01:14:08 3190.122070 T:1515189152 NOTICE: EMBY.librarysync -> Updating emby database. 01:14:08 3190.429688 T:1515189152 NOTICE: EMBY.librarysync -> New sync time: client time -2 min: 2016-11-13T22:12:08Z 01:14:08 3190.629150 T:1515189152 NOTICE: EMBY.librarysync -> Commit successful. 01:14:08 3190.629639 T:1515189152 NOTICE: EMBY.librarysync -> Updating video library. 01:14:08 3190.708252 T:1429992352 NOTICE: VideoInfoScanner: Starting scan .. 01:14:08 3190.788818 T:1429992352 NOTICE: VideoInfoScanner: Finished scan.

Hello, I get a problem with the android tv client version (on my nvidia shield tv) This one freeze when I launch Albums/Artists list (I need to kill the app) My collection is big, so I assume not all user get this issue. I don't get this problem with the web portal of emby. It'is possible to fix that or setup a workarround ? Thanks in advance regards 404

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.

Hi All, Have run into an issue while configuring my TV Series view with Banners. It has been running flawlessly with banners for the longest time, however I just wanted to increase the size of them so as to improve the view (not so many rows) I have found that after I changed the size of them, Emby locked up and I had to close down WMC completely. Now everytime I select 'TV Shows' Emby completely freezes and I have to kill it. Normally when entering a view it will select an item to navigate, now it just stays there nothing selected. The clock doesn't move, so I know it's frozen. Does anyone know how to reset user views? Poster, banner, strip, etc? I have already tried uninstalling / deleting config from dir / re-install Running server: 3.1.11.0 Running EMC: 3.0.305.0 log of when change was made: MBClassic-6620164438fab00dc14af2ac98fe20d8bed9d5.log log when a new session is opened and navigate to tv shows, pretty much nothing: MBClassic-762016fe97bf136bc44e728f702dcf486a2898.log If anyone can help me reset this view that would be great. Every other media category works fine.

Has anyone else had this issue? I run Emby as it's own profile on my iMac. It stays logged in so Emby can be used on our TV's. After a period of time, the process seems to completely freeze, and I cannot connect to the server to watch movies. I have to come upstairs to the iMac and force quit the Emby process in Activity Monitor. Once restarted it works fine for (I think) a day or so, then dies again. I'm now running version 3.0.5724.4, but it was doing this in previous versions too. Anyone? Thanks. I've attached three recent log files. Thanks again! server-63578044800.txt server-63578116287.txt server-63578044796.txt

Hi Folks. I've searched around the forums and can't find anything similar so hoping someone can help or direct me approritaly. I'm installing Enby on a Mac Mini (2014). Install has gone ok and the wizard started as expected. The issue arises at the Configure Settings\metadata page (see page below).When I select "Next", nothing happens. Or rather an icon seem to flash (very quickly) but the Wizard does not progress any further. I have tried a reinstall. No change and Previous setting remain in place. I have also tried using both Safari and Chrome. Still no luck. I did notice that on the installation page that the Configure Settings pagfe come before the "Add Media Libraries", but in my setup is seems to be the other way around. this may be nothing but I'm not sure. I would post them, but I can't find the logs. Anyway hope someone can help. thanks in advance.

Hi All, My MB Classic Freezes for about 30 seconds every time I chose MUSIC (on the first use only)....

I upgraded my HTPC to Windows 8.1 and WMC and I've returned to MBC. I was using XBMC and one of the features I really like is playing all the files in a folder. We sometimes will have a list of maybe 10-12 home videos or other YouTube clips in a folder that we'll play, and we'll shuffle play all the files. In XBMC, it works flawlessly (not MBC3C, just the native XBMC player). In WMC using MBC, it has some problems. The first thing is if there are multiple files, let's say we have a folder of 20 files and all are around a minute long, then after the first few videos, MBC will start to act a little strange. It will play the first second of the video, and then it will repeat the first second of the video and then play it all the way through. That's a little odd. That stutter will happen for most of the videos in the playlist. The second problem is that after a while, a video half way through the playlist will freeze, and we will be forced to press the skip button to skip back a few seconds in the video, and then it will play the rest of the way. If there are more videos in the playlist, it will intermittently do the same thing (freeze the video, but the audio will continue to play). If it reaches the end of the video, it will just stop and not play the next video. Sometimes after a long pause it will continue on to the next video, but the easiest way to get it "unstuck" is to skip backwards on the current video, and then it will play regularly. Somewhat annoying to have to babysit the video playlists when it should just play them all the way through. Hopefully these issues can be addressed. I like the TV guide with WMC better than XBMC, and I think MBC is better than the XBMB3C implementation, so hopefully this issue can be resolved. Thank you!
