I am getting frequent incremental syncing. By frequent I mean 10+ times per day where all of my clients are stuck doing incremental syncs. Some of these Incremental syncs are quite large - 20000+ updates. I normally add 5-10 recordings per day. I have all metadata for films locked in the metadata manager and yet continue to see films as a part of these incremental syncs. I have all metadata for series locked except for current seasons and yet continue to see these locked series as part of these incremental syncs. I did not used to have this issue. Things that I know that have changed - Kodi was updated on my Android TV clients and Win 7 HTPC to v17 Emby 3.2.1 was installed on February 20th - new fresh install I believe all of my setting are the same in Emby, What am I missing? Logs attached. Thanks for reading and any help. server-63624067941.txt server-63624134796.txt

Okay this error may be due to a misconfiguration on my part. Here is my setup Emby is running on port 8004 mydomain.de - links to my nginx server mydomain.de/emby is configured in nginx to proxy_pass to localhost:8004 This works fine for the web version as well as the app until I want to activate a sync. I get in the log files: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Unable to find the specified file. for http://mydomain.de:8004/emby/mediabrowser/users/xxx?format=json which makes the error correct as the way to go would not be http://mydomain.de:8004/emby/ but instead http://mydomain.de/emby/(Port 80) or even "https://mydomain.de/emby/" (Port 443) I have the feeling I am missing a config here. Any help is appreciated. ~Cheers

Hi, everyone! Having issue with syncing to android mobile. When i choose "original" quality, my files converted to Opus. But i expect FLAC, as an original file. Logs in attachment. What I'm doing wrong? Or may be some settings for transcoding for each type of quality? transcoding_flac_to_opus.txt

Hi, I would like to sync some of my content (some folders in a lib) to an external folder. I can easily set it up and it's working fine. My problem is - if I delete the files from this external folder manually - next time the sync job runs - it recreates them. What I would like to basically get the files synced to external folder once and then be able to delete them there manually when I'm done with them w/o having them recreated upon next sync job run. This way I can listen to my podcasts and when I'm done with them - I can delete them from external folder and only the new ones will come in when they arrive. Is it possible to set something like this up? Thank you!

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums so I hope I'm posting in the correct section (^ ^) -------- I've tried everything to import last resume point to Emby from Trakt. Clarification: Emby has the ability to sync the last resume point to Trakt and I can continue where I left off in Kodi. However, the opposite doesn't work. If I open a show in Kodi and it syncs my last resume point to trakt, then Emby doesn't import changes (even if I run the Scheduled Task Import playstates from Trakt). ------- Is this an issue I'm running into that Emby doesn't import last resume point from Trakt? If it isn't supported, will it be considered? And Thanks!

Hi, there seems to be a problem in the syncing process if the season of tvshows are split up in multiple folders in the main library path (which is pretty common for anime as they are often no "seasons" but sequels instead). e.g. I have these two folders in my library - Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? // This is "season 1" - Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead // This is "season 2" I then use the metadata manager to tag it acordingly and everything is fine in emby. But in kodi only season 1 shows up for this show. This used to work previously. I do not know which update (kodi/emby) resulted in this behaviour as I had to redo my setup (due to hardware failure). But right now I am using the current Kodi for Android (16.1 "Jarvis") and the up to date version of Emby (3.1.2.0) as well as the up to date stable plugins. Any clue why this behavior changed / how to fix this isue? ~Cheers

hei. i thinking of buy the "life time" pack. i have to samsung s7 and two set gear vr. is it an option there you can sync to mobiles and watch same movie so the sound is synced on both device? regards

After resolving problem from this thread - http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/35674-stuck-on-compressing-db-log-file-snippet/ I faced similar one. Each time when I start Kodi after Emby server got new movie(s) then sync process hangs with message about updating library with new movie(s) but actually they don't appear in Kodi library. Kodi or PC restart does not help. Only force re-sync helps.

Kodi now supports season names (since Kodi 16, I think). Emby also supports season names. If I use Emby to set the name of Babylon 5: Season 1 to "Signs and Portents", I would like that to sync to Kodi. Luckily, syncing doesn't overwrite whatever name I give it in Kodi, but I would prefer not to maintain it in two places. Thanks, and sorry if this has come up before. I couldn't find it by searching. Also sorry about the tags. Not quite sure what happened there, and I can't do anything about them now...

Ran a sync job on a play list, 300 plus songs. Nice to see that feature btw. There was one song that wasn't syncing for whatever reason. I believe this is the cause of the issue. Well the battery started draining very rapidly. About 1% per minute. Closing the app did not stop the drain. I shut down the phone went to the server and killed the sync for that song. Using a lumia 950 with beta server software on a win10 machine. If you need anything else from me just ask. Log attached. Thanks server-63607620194.txt

Today... when we create a sync job, depending on how many items and size of each (dunno why), time between clicking "Sync" and "Sync job created" can be a pain, waiting looking at the last scren while Emby mounts the job. Would be possible that the whole operation of sync job creation be executed in background? Allowing us to browse freely in Emby. There's not even a message in screen showing that the job creation (or the progress % of creation) is being executed.

I set a TV episode on Sync to test out the new Emby app on my Lumia 950 XL. The episode was ~3.5GBs. It never finished over multiple days and ate through 10GBs of cellular data and ~23GBs on Wi-Fi. I now have an extra $30 on my cellular plan because AT&T auto added 2 1GB data buckets in the middle of the night as Emby chewed through data. @@7illusions while I love the new app, this has got to be fixed ASAP!!!!! I have now deleted the Sync job so I don't get anymore charges this month. !

This morning I was setting up some syncs and I accidentaly created a huge (+500Gb +250 itens) sync. I was at library browser, selecting some movies (multi-select), and by reflex clicked at green "Sync" button. It happens that was the button to sync ALL the movies of that library. The correct place was at right-top corner, in "..." -> sync to other device My request: - At the moment Multi-Select starts, please hide the Whole-Library sync green button.

As the topic says, when I sync music, emby server crashes. Log File attached. emby-crash.log

When we configure sync, it could be nice to have something estimating how much diskspace the first sync will require (and with "Item Limit" and "Media Quality" in mind, too). This way... we can be prepared and see if a sync will be possible or not. My case: I'm preparing a playlist , and a want to sync it to my mobile device... but I don't know if it will have the needed diskspace... The only way I can do this today is going inside my media server storage (via SSH, FTP or SMB), and see how much those items (handpicking each one) will cost my device's disk.

I found a few locked threads from people who have encountered the same issue that I have. Collections/movie sets are not updating with Kodi when they are added, edited or deleted in Emby. According to those posts, this is a known issue that happens with some servers not sending the websocket messages. Has the cause been identified and is there a fix coming for this? Is there any way other than the manual DB reset from the Kodi-Emby Add-on? That takes 45 minutes.

I recently removed my music albums section,and cleaned both sections in Emby and Kodi,but when kodi runs sync at startup it still scans like albums and songs are available but there is nothing in that section? Its been removed,and also i took screenshot of some strange characters that show up during music sync,can anybody tell me what they are and how to get rid of. Thats reason i removed music albums,when these characters show it kept hanging on sync and would not show albums correctly. http://s72.photobucket.com/user/nolovenv...m.png.html

I've been testing the Sync option as a way to create android friendly versions of my 1080-MKV files instead of transcoding and I have some questions. 1. I installed the folder sync plugin and added a local directory as the target. The media was converted to an mp4 file but never moved from the AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\sync\uuid\ folder that was created. Should this have happened automatically? 2. Is there a way to monitor which movies have been synced? 3. Is there a way to clean up syncd movies to remove old ones? 4. Even when I had sync a movie to an mp4 file and then tried to play it back via the web client the server logs showed it still used the mkv one, is this the correct action? Thanks Brian

Hi all, I am trying to do a fresh install of Kodi (15.2) with the Emby Plugin. After the install and configuration the library sync starts. I processes all the movies, goes onto boxsets and then hangs (Processing Boxsets / 76 items - Naked Gun Collection) - note Kodi is not hanging, but the sync appears to stop. 1. I hit the problem above and waited for 10 minutes - nothing changed 2. I shut down kodi and restarted 3. Library sync started from scratch again and hit the same problem (naked gun again). 4. I uninstalled Kodi and did a fresh install 5. Hit that same problem at the same point (Naked Gun Collection). I have Kodi running on another machine with the Emby add-on and haven't hit this problem (that system has been running for approx 9 months). I have attached the log. Any advice appreciated. Cheers kodi.log

When setting a sync job for unwatched content only, if the show in question has a 'Season 0' and this content is unwatched then it is what is cued first for the sync job, but this isn't what I would want to HAVE to watch first before commencing a series. Often these specials will contain spoilers of the show I've yet to watch. Yes I could mark it as watched, but I haven't watched it and so would prefer to have it still listed as unwatched. Can the sync creation have an option for TV jobs to ignore any Specials?

Request to add option to sync to Amazon Cloud plug in. For $60/yr you get unlimited storage which would allow syncing/backing up entire media collections and playing off the cloud whenever possible. PS. I know this has been requested before, but I thought i would add an official request.

Howdy, I am experiencing the "Library Sync Thread has Exited" on both incremental sync and initial sync. I have tried to wipe my Kodi DB and re-populate, but still recieve the error. I'm seeing this on two different android based devices (one nvidia shield running android tv 6.0 and one minix box running pure android on 4.4.2). Logs can be found at http://xbmclogs.com/ptkgn6dnw . PS: love your addon. I've been a long time Kodi user since back to the XBMP days on the OG Xbox and love the combination of emby and Kodi. Thanks for all your hard work.

How can I tell if sync is streaming from the cloud instead of the server? I've been playing around with the sync option and have sync'd several videos to the Google cloud drive. When I play them remotely I cant tell from the dashboard which source its streaming from. Whats the best way to see if this feature is working?

I've setup a sync job for a TV show, but one of the episodes does not want to sync. The current status is "transferring", but the temp sync folder has no transcoded media. I've tried to cancel the episode in the sync job, but nothing happens. If I create a new sync job for only that episode it gets cancelled immediately.
