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

I was trying to get transcoding working on my emby server and it seems like there is lacking info on how to do it or I could just be a dumbass, but I have been following this (https://emby.media/support/articles/Hardware-Acceleration-Overview.html) and I got the .m files but at this point, I don't know what to do with them to enable the hardware acceleration if anyone has a windows guide or can help me that would be cool. the only things I can find are for docker and other programs.

Hi, (Using Emby Premiere) Im struggling to play UHD titles with PGS graphics because my Emby server appears to be struggling with transcoding. This surprises me at many levels because 1) I have an NVidia Quadro card 2) I have a Dual XEON CPU 16 core proc server with 96GB ram DEDICATED to playing 1 STREAM. Not 100 streams. 1 Stream Whenever I enable subtitles, its GAME OVER. Stuttering occurs every 15 seconds for 15 seconds. Its not even minimal stuttering. User Experience is deplorable. When I looked into the log file, I noticed a couple of seemingly important messages which leave me bewildered. I was hoping someone could help out. Message #1: Warning: Hardware-accelerated subtitle-overlay is disabled due to diagnostic option Message #2: Checking: 'NVDEC Quadro M2000 - H.265 (HEVC)'. NoMatch Bitrate (65 Mbit/s) exceeds maximum supported rate (59 Mbit/s) Decoder does not match. (Then proceeds to use software decoder) What HW and/or SW config changes are needed to get a single stream to play correctly I have enclosed the relevant log snippet for detail / context Thanks in advance. emby_log.txt

I want to add a genre to all the movies, I'm doing it manually, but it's very tiring, is it possible to add it all at once? for all movies I want to put a genre that is ALL movies, to add them there, but it is a long time for all manually, thanks

Hi guys, I noticed on my main dashboard that my remote access link includes a port at the end when in reality that is not needed. When I went to the network tab and tried to remove the external port, it indicated it was a mandatory field. Issue is when I click the link above for Remote Access (WAN), I get a: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR Ideally my Remote (WAN) access link should be: http://emby.myaddress.myds.me (no port) Does anyone know how to fix this or if its fixable? Thanks!

I've been running Emby with GPU transcoding for multiple years now but if i try to update past version 4.7.6.0 (Linuxserver docker) the container won't even finish the configuration but i can't come here and ask for help with someone elses container so i've been trying to resolve my issues with the official Emby/Embyserver container and i'm hoping for some help The container start fine but nvidia-smi is not found in the shell and the logs are showing: ffdetect_nvencdec Process exited with code 1 nCannot load libcuda.so.1\nError loading CUDA functions\n\n","Result":{ Configuration": "--cc=x86_64-emby-linux-gnu-gcc ...... }, "Error": { "Number": -1, "Message": "Operation not permitted" }, "Log": [ { "Level": 16, "Category": 0, "Message": "Cannot load libcuda.so.1" }, { "Level": 16, "Category": 0, "Message": "Error loading CUDA functions" And clicking advanced under hardware acceleration gives no options Host is Arch Linux 6.1.3-arch1-1, I've been trying to see if this works every few months so it has been tried with older kernels through those months.

Emby is running on windows For starters I have recently moved to a new location after having my emby server accessible via its domain for a month or so. I can access emby remotely with my WAN IP along with my HTTP port number (HTTPS port isnt working). Im using cloud flare as for my SSL and DNS provider. when I attempt to connect using my domain I get a Error 522 (cloud flare cant connect to my server) I have updated my WAN IP to the one ive been assigned by my ISP. Tried changing the ports being forwarded (80,443,8920,8096) I have rebooted my computer and emby multiple times and updated my DNS A name a few times as well. AName: emby|MyWanIP (Domain is being proxied by cloud flare) Any tips on how to narrow down what is causing my issue? Could it be that my ISP is blocking the ports im using or is it cloud flare?

So I created a folder placed a mkv file there....and placed the subtitle file in the same folder with the name: but it just wont show up in the subtitle menu. The name of subtitle file is same as movie file any help will be appreciated embyserver.txt

I am wondering what is the use of this people slot for each artists, as why would one add a composer or writer directly under an artist's metadata but not within the song's one. Also, I tried to add a person by typing his name but the dialog just closes after I push the Enter button, and nothing shows up under people. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hey folks, new guy here. I’ve found myself tired of Plex and their growing issues and happened to stumble upon Emby and I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve seen so far. I’ve done quite a bit of research on some of the differences and what not but I’d love to hear some tips and tricks, and your overall experience with the differences especially if you’re a previous Plex user. Thanks for any help you may send my way! *Please feel free to close this topic if this isn’t allowed or if I’ve posted this in the incorrect area.*

Bonjour à tous et merci d'avance à ceux qui prendront le temps de lire ce post, J'ai récemment pris l'abonnement premium de Emby afin de pouvoir visualiser l'ensemble de mes films et séries qui sont stockées sur mon NAS. J'ai donc configurer mon serveur et tout fonctionne parfaitement quand je suis chez moi et sur mon réseau local. Je parviens à regarder l'ensemble de mon contenu sur les différentes télévisions connectés que j'ai à mon domicile. C'est donc parfait de ce point du vue là ! En revanche l'extérieur de ma maison (sur un autre réseau wifi), j'ai un gros problème. A l'extérieur de ma maison je peux accéder à Emby et à mon serveur UNIQUEMENT via l'interface Synology (après m'être connecté avec le quick-connect). Dès que je souhaite, lancer l'application sur mon téléphone ou sur une télévision connecté, là plus rien ne fonctionne et un message d'erreur apparaît : "erreur de connexion". C'est très embêtant car j'ai pris l'abonnement en partie pour cela car je souhaitais, d'une part, voir sur mon téléphone mon contenu et, de plus, ajouter des utilisateurs via leur Emby Connect. Or ces derniers ne peuvent pas accéder au contenu puisqu'ils ne sont pas sur mon réseau domestique... Y-a-t-il une configuration que je n'ai pas faîtes ? Je trouve cela étrange, car j'arrive à me connecter à distance via l'interface Synology, mais pas avec le site Web ou avec l'application Android et télé. J'ai plusieurs fois redémarrer mon serveur et j'ai bien vérifier que l'option "connexion distante" était activé dans les paramètres. Malgré cela, rien n'y fais. Pourriez-vous m'aider s'il vous plaît ? Merci d'avance pour votre, PS : Je vous joins le message d'erreur. PS.2 : Je suis actuellement sur la version 4.6.4.0.

Emby just updated and it broke my music collection. The music shows but it's all out of place. Please fix this

I feel like I must be missing something basic here, but I only seem to be able to tag an individual movie or series to be converted. All media I'm downloading is coming in as MKV 720p x264. I'm able to convert to MP4 same quality quite quickly and efficiently using the auto convert function because all I'm really changing is the container, however I'd like to set a rule so that ALL media under Movies and TV Shows are automatically converted, including new series and all movies, without me having to manually create a conversion rule for each of them. Is this possible? Am I missing an obvious setting somewhere?

I 'm using OMV as my media server. I have installed embyserver in Docker. But I can not connect ip:8096. _embyserver_logs.txt

Hi All, I have Emby for Android TV beta installed on my A90J. I have a couple of MKVs with Dobly Vision only and they correctly display the video (no purple tint etc) and the picture settings on the TV show the Dolby Vision Dark/Bright options as expected.. I have then tried playing a file with both Dolby Vision and HDR10 but Dolby Vision isn't picked up. I understand I need to upload logs etc but can anyone tell me from where? Thanks

My IPTV provider recently switched to using self-signed 10-year certificate. This has caused emby to throw an error about an untrusted cert and will no longer play any streams. How can I allow emby trust the certificate? Does the self signed cert need to be trusted at a system level or perhaps installing the cert to "/var/lib/emby/.dotnet/corefx/cryptography/x509stores/"? The IPTV server in question is @ https://50.7.100.82/ I have attached the thrown error when attempting to connect to the stream. embyserver.txt

Does anyone have any idea how to enable hardware acceleration when running Emby in a docker? I have a Synology 918+ and am trying to enable vaapi.

Idk if the update bugged it in some way. But I really liked the pure black background. It's easier in the eyes especially at night. It's not as obvious on pictures attached but in person that's very irritating and obvious

It would be a nice for Emby as a whole. So people could develop more for it making it more feature rich and more appealing to for people to get interstate from the competition

- I’m getting double entries in my continue watching - if you select record series multiple times it shows multiple times in series (why does it allow this) - If scrolling through on now and click on the show and back out. Most on now stuff is gone. I have to back out to the main screen and back into programs to fix it - cinema intros are not working Lastly, are these issues perhaps related to the Linux builds ? Do the builds for windows work better??

Everytime I open the Emby app on the Insignia roku tv It automatically goes to the media server and all I have to is just sign in and once I do sign in it just goes black and goes to the roku homescreen and if I try to go back into the app it starts and then just exits out again like before. I have tried restarting the tv, reinstalling the emby app, and even unlinking the device and trying again. This problem seems to only be happening on just this roku tv and not any other roku devices we have. The roku is on the lastest version. Any help would be appreciated in solving this. Emny was working last night when using it on the tv and seemed to started for all I know is when I reinstalled my OS and reseted up my laptop.

I have quite a lot of shows that have ASS Subtitles in them. But the problem is that when I enable them my server immediately jumps to transcoding. Which sacrifice quite a lot of video quality. I have noticed that It does not do that in the mobile version.

Ok so my problem is my server uses usenet and I need/want to use a vpn so that makes me use a vpn on my emby server due to them being on the same pc. Now when using a vpn (nord) I cant connect directly to my server and remotely on my devices. Any thing i can do?

Hi i am a newbie on emby and i am trying to make my configuration of emby on my NAS and i got a problem... Like it's said in the title, it is impossible to use emby connect or an external dns (DuckDNS). I tried to forward my ports, create a new Emby account, change three times my DNS adress, reinstall DSM and Emby, wipe the Emby folder and the user on DSM and nothing works ! Please someone can help me

Hello. I'm actually running an Emby server on my Lubuntu laptop with a VPN always on. So with all the device i connect remotely, with the TV too. I was wondering if I watch live TV on the TV (without VPN because my TV doesn't have any softwere to do it, but still the VPN is on on the laptop/server) is safe? I mean do i "send" the ip of the server to the providers or the ip of the television? Do I have to turn on VPN on all devices I want to see live TV on to be safe and mask my ip or my server with his VPN mask already. It maybe is a super dumb question, I know.
