Hello, may I ask how translations would be reviewed for newly released windows client? Machine translations aren't usable for traditional Chinese, and I've finished translating them for a while, but nothing seems to be reviewed. On the other hand, I've subjected some translation changes to "Wep app" about a month ago, while old ones still persist, would you please help me a bit? Thank you in advance!

After being told as from tomorrow Plex are changing things in a negative way, I decided to look for alternatives and Emby came highly recommended. Now here's the problem. I installed the app on my Mac Mini (M1) and then added my library. They all show fine as they are supposed to do. Thinking it was all working "out of the box", I then installed the app on my Firestick (Emby For Fire app) and whenever I pressed play, the screen would go black for a second or two and then go back to the episode page and then mark the episode as watched. So I went back tot he server on the Mac and pressed play and the screen started to load the episode and then I got this error: No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details. I can see it's a permission denied error. Can anyone suggest a fix for me please? I would really appreciate a response using layman's terms as well if possible embyserver.txt

So i just got home from work and tried to access my server i host in my own room. Its a trueNAS docker container running emby. I got it setup that it uses a folder form outside the docker on the main system and all worked fine for a while. But today it out of the blue stopped working and i got no idea what went wrong. Here are my logs if anyone can shoot me some help i'd appreciate it greatly. ffmpeg-transcode-da60be01-9649-4fba-afe4-a98a75ae7bf3_1.txt embyserver.txt

I'm running Emby using your Docker container on a host that is separate from my NAS. I've had several times now where my home has lost power and I will absent-mindedly start my Emby container before my NAS has fully booted. This results in Emby thinking there is no longer any media, therefore all the metadata and images for all of my libraries get erased. Then, when the NAS gets powered back on, and I restart Emby, it now has to rebuild every library. I have 46TB of movies and tv shows -- rebuilding the database can take over a day. Not only that, it resets the "Date Added" value for everything, so now everything's "Date Added" value is right now, which is obviously unintended. Is there a setting that exists or can be added to prevent Emby from clearing out a library in the event that a library has gone offline?

Good afternoon, I downloaded the Media Browser server last night and i have to say it is a lot better then the Plex server i have previously been using. It actually finds my files and downloads the proper artwork for them, and not some random program. What i was wondering was, is there a program you can either side-load on to your LG Tv or download, instead of using the normal network connection, and not being able to see the thumbnails? Plex was ok at showing thumbnails (albeit the complete wrong ones), but has since stopped showing any whatsoever! Thank you for your help in advance Carl

I wasn't able to find an answer to this, so I hope I'm not duplicating anything. I had two folders: one with "Films", and one with "Requested films." (and the same for Series, but the principle remains the same). I wanted to view requested movies in their own library, but at the same time I want to have all requested films also in the "Films" Library. That way, I can check in "Requests" what films are available after having been requested, but when browsing for a film to watch I can just go into "Films" and see every movie available. If that makes sense.. I figured I'd move all requested movies in the "Films" folder, having tagged them with "request", and filter that way. However, this virtual library thing is still being developed, I'm guessing. Searching by keyword/tag isn't practical as every single keyword shows up, and even when I select "request" I get a horizontal list of movies rather than the normal top-down view. What I did next was split the movies again. Films in their own folder, Requested films in their own folder because I figured I can have a "Requested" library with just requests, and a "Films" library with both the "Films" and "Requests" folder attributed to that all-in-one library. Wrong. When I want to add the "Requests" folder as a second source to the "Films" library, I get: "There was an error adding the media path. Please ensure the path is valid and the Emby Server process has access to that location." I really don't want to have to switch to a different program, especially since I paid for Emby premium, but is there any way I can get this sorted? Or is the only solution to wait for the virtual libraries? If so, when will that become reality? What version, when is it scheduled to be released?

I recently wanted to try to add the books library feature on emby but idk if it's just me but it's not working. I showed the file that it's there but It doesn't display it. How do I fix it ?

So for the last few days, no matter what I play, the next episode won't play automatically like it usually does. I will set certain series to shuffle while I'm working or sleeping. I went into my settings and everything is correctly set to play automatically. Maybe a bug? Any help appreciated

Trying to switch from Plex because its crappy Android ExoPlayer was giving me headaches. Now I'm dealing with some issues fine-tuning Emby and need some help: 1.How do I fix the UI when the series name is too long? The controls get tiny and annoying (pic attached). 2.How do I fetch the season title metadata like Plex does?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get fail2ban working for Emby / Docker. Currently running in Ubuntu Mint Ubuntu 24.04 and have docker set to map the /config/logs directory to a local folder on the host. As far as I can tell I've got everything setup right but the filter is not matching anything it seems and it never logs failed logins to the jail. Also I don't recall where I noted them but I did see some weird charters in some kind of fail2ban logs for Emby. They were non-printable or invisible characters but I don't know that those would affect the regex especially since the manual regex test is passing. Does anyone have any ideas or see something overly obvious that I'm missing? Also worth nothing I manually tested the regex pattern and it matches.

So because of an incapable contractor, my UPS threw short circuit error, and my server was shutdown forcefully. Now after reboots, emby seems to lost its config, asking me to reconfigure configs. Any way to restore the config back? Here's the logs. Thing is, i installed emby on drive other than C (for backup purpose and avoid bloating C) so it might be little tricky. embyserver.txt

I've downloaded the latest and set up the Emby Server (Docker) environment and I've been thoroughly enjoying this wonderful application so far. I was using muxed MKVs with embedded subs (PGS) and it all worked perfectly. Direct play in 4K and Software Transcoding worked fine, both displayed the embedded subs perfectly well. I'll use Oppenheimer here as an example. (Subs here are located slightly to the left of the frame, that's due to the subs included and not a fault on Emby's part.) Of course when I confirmed all worked well, I had to try out Hardware encoding for more powerful conversion and the possibility for friends and family to access my repository remotely. Now I noticed multiple "shortcomings" that came with this: - A noticable green hue (compare the two images), alltough this might the fault of wrongly transcoded DV HDR filter (doing research on that) - When using the embedded subs (preferable due to perfect audio timing), I notice that when HARDWARE trancoding specifically, the subs seem to get misplaced, seemingly in the 1920x1080 quadrant of a 4k frame... but that is indeed very strange behaviour. Both transcode logs are included, aptly named. I will add that while both are pretty big downfalls, mostly the subtitle problem is actually dealbreaking as most of my users will need subtitles. I tried to download SRT subtitles as a substitution, that resulted in the following on the Web Client: The green hue remains, but the SRT subs are correctly displayed in the Web Client, Huzzah! I test on the Windows Theather app: Nothing... And the hue persists also here. When I try to get the PGS subs to work in here after a 4k > 1080p transcode just like in web player, they seems to shift to the wrong place. Of this last two screenshots there's also a ffmpeg log included, aptly named. I will admit that I've searched on this topic for quite a bit allready and nothing seems to resolve the subtitles missing or being misplaced. Is this a known issue? Has this been seen before? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hello, I've installed Emby on my machine, my library is a bit huge (80 To), scan for Movies and Series was pretty fast but Anime scan is very very long and looks stuck to 87.4% (now 2 days just for it), I don't know why. Library is mounted on ubuntu server using sshfs with Tailscale tunnel and using the Emby 4.9.0.8 beta embyserver.txt hardware_detection-63846109564.txt

Hello, while visiting family, we attempted to watch a movie on a Samsung UN55CU8000FXZA TV using the 'App: Emby for Samsung 1.7.0'. However, we encountered an issue where the content continuously buffered, displaying the dreaded circle of death without actually showing any content. The movie we attempted to watch is "Ferrari (2023)" located at /media/Movies/Ferrari (2023)/Ferrari (2023) {imdb-tt3758542} [AMZN][WEBDL-2160p][HDR10Plus][EAC3 Atmos 5.1][HEVC]-FLUX.mkv Interestingly, when we tried to play the same movie through a Firestick using its native app, it played without any issues. However, attempting to play it through the Emby app on the Firestick resulted in the same buffering problem as experienced with the Samsung app. Our current setup for hosting includes: Ubuntu 20.04.2 Emby Server version: 4.8.3.0 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB I have attached a few logs for further analysis. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could assist in diagnosing why this issue occurs specifically for certain movies while others play without any problems. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-dd46aec8-73f1-41ce-b569-5622240bc967_1.txt

i can't manage to get the intro skip feature working i did as the fouram said that i went to my tv-show library and added a marker as a scheduled task and went to scheduled tasks and scanned for intros then went to playback and made it ask to skip intro but still nothing is working

Some pieces of media have not loaded so I've check the folders themselves and discovered either the media file itself not being in the folder or nothing at all. I have no idea what is going on, I have check any user that could delete media and that doesn't check out. whatever the issue is can be tracked down by the log right? embyserver.txt

Please bear with me as im not very tech savvy. I have an emby server that about once a day becomes unresponsive. The Home Screen loads the library’s and that’s it.. it wont show the home screen content. Sometimes it takes 20-40 min to become responsive again. I noticed the RAM is VERY bloated at that time. I will upload the logs. Hoping ANYONE can assist. Emby Log 2.pdf Emby Log 1.pdf

So I have a Emby Premiere subscription, which in theory should allow me to stream between my TV and on my phone and so on. I'm running my server on my main gaming PC, which is a high spec AMD config. My files are all stored on my B3 Excito server running debian. In theory there should be no issue in video playback, especially since my internet is a fiber connection here in Sweden with 250MB/s down and 250MB/s up. Even though all of the things listed above, sometimes my video playback doesn't play at all, lags or freezes. I read that subtitles may be the issue, it's not something I have encountered as being an issue but idk. Furthermore, my iPhone doesn't seem to be able to reach Emby when I'm outside - even though it could before - and Emby Connect has never worked for me. Would be very thankful for any help on the matter so I can solve these issues once and for all. Could different video formats slow down the playback? I know MKV formats are challenging for some video playback softwares for example.

I recently tried to use the books category on Emby but it seems it doesn't work. I tried using PDF and CBZ files. They do show up but when I click on it it's just blank!

Pretty much everything goes on no problem, but there are a couple (e.g. Bleach Thousand Year War and Tokyo Ghoul) that refuse to appear. They are organized in the same way as everything else but don't appear. Nothing unusual about them, but no matter what I do it's like emby doesn't see them. Except it should. The nfo appeared in the relevant folders, they just don't show up in the library. I've refreshed, restarted, rescanned, searched, added to other contributing folder locations, changed their file name, and nothing seems to help. The only way they will appear is if I stick them in a folder for another series under a show that is already listed. Then they pop up like a season, which is just ridiculous. I'm not sure what else to try. Help.

Hi I have been trying to figure this out for a while now, with no luck. I wanted to set my folders to auto convert to AAC audio, which I have been able to do. However, for compatibility reasons, I need AAC in stereo (2.0) rather than the default which is 5.1. Is there any way to achieve this using the auto convert feature? Thanks in advance Brezzz

Hi, I just bought the Emby Premiere and I want to be sure that I understood well about the limit of devices. I'm admin of server and I shared my library with 3 persons only. One of them had this message: Your account exceeded the maximum streaming limit set by your Emby Server Administrator. Please contact them for assistance. Could you please answer to me: 1. First question. To avoid this message, I should to have in settings: "Network settings" - "Max simultaneous video streams" - "unlimited". https://i.postimg.cc/hPdTqCpJ/1.png And in each "Profile user" - "Max simultaneous video streams" - "unlimited". (However, if the user watch only one movie from one device, I can leave it to 1). Is that right? https://i.postimg.cc/nzNKvN3J/2.png In "Device Access" I should left it to "All". https://i.postimg.cc/bvD4pfSX/4.png To find another explication to the message... 2. Second question : If all 3 users logged in Emby server a lot of times (let's say 10 each one), but from different devices (Web browser, cell, TV, Roku, etc. let's say taht the tried to check how it works), does it mean that I already exceed all 25 devices limit? 3*10=30... If yes, what should I do to reset the counter? Should I delet all devices from Devices menu? https://i.postimg.cc/DZ4LyBnY/3.png I'm new here on forum, sorry if I did not find the answer, but it seems that it's confusing not only for me.

I installed Emby Server, gave it access to my media files, and then attempted to play some videos on my television that were stored on my Synology NAS. I noticed that on the server, scanning the library just sort of hung at like 80% and never finished. Also, when I add a new folder it doesn't show up in the Library. The videos that I tried to play on my television wouldn't play, I got this spinning blue circle. I attached a couple server logs....I'm in a complete morass though, I have no idea if these are even the right ones. I just want to delete everything and start over. But when I uninstall Emby and then reinstall it on my Synology the user profile with all the data is still there. How do I get rid of everything, user profile, library, etc. I want it to be like a fully fresh install. embyserver-63829629707.txt embyserver.txt

Hello - I'm an intermediate user you could say - and I installed emby onto my main server a hp proliant running debian 12. install took maybe 15 seconds. before install i looked up what ports needed to be opened, and opened up 8096 (default) and a temp alt port just in case to avoid any frustration. and reloaded firewall. installed emby. went to browser and tried to open localhost:8096 and "Unable to connect: can't establish blah blah..." I tried connecting with 127.0.0.1, and my LAN IP addresses, and my external IP addresses. Nothing will connect. I chose to install the BETA version, so I decided perhaps beta was more beta than i wanted. So I reinstalled doing a rollback to the stable version. Same problem. Triple checked my firewall. Dunno what it's problem is. Even rebooted entire server. No change. I know I'm retarded, but this is getting to me. And with the week I've had I can't take any more of fixing other people's mistakes. I just wanted to relax and watch movies and unplug my brain. So, if anyone knows what I'm missing or doing wrong, I'd be obliged if you could please offer any assistance. Thank you.

Good evening, unfortunately I ran into a problem when trying to play certain episodes on my android devices (Tab S7plus and LG Vevlvet). When playing this exact series every episode has a black screen but I can hear the audio track. I can't replicate the same problem with other series or movies. However it happens with both my mobile android devices (which is a bummer because those are my main way of consuming content). The same episode works flawless on the webui or if I enable an external media player on android. I have attached the Log File from the webui. I hope that's the right one. Now I can't really say if this is a server side problem (in my case a Synology NAS) or if this a android app problem. Any help would be very much appreciated. Best regards, ralothar embyserver.txt
