I have a strange issue where the date on imported shows and even recordings are the date prior to the correct date. Example, a show aired on sunday evening the 6th, but Emby shows it as the 5th. Recordings from live tv are the same, a show recorded today shows the prior day. Its all shows I have (at least recent ones I can compare to a TV Guide). One such show is The Price Is Right, recorded and aired today the 8th, but Emby shows the 7th. The file system reports the date is today the 8th as well. System time is correct, in UTC time, confirmed with an online clock. It is the same looking at them via a browser, android or Roku app. All devices have the correct time on them. Other things are correct, like the EPG shows the correct time line for my local time and recording a live show goes off fine and on time. The same result using a different user account on the server. I know upstream data like from TVDB can be wrong, but it seems to be the same on everything I have checked. For the mentioned episode 128 of The Price is Right, the data on TVDB website is correct, today the 8th. Debian Linux 12, Emby 4.8.11.0. System is up to date. I rebooted the server and restarted Emby server a few times.

Alright so recently I had a crash because my OS SSD filled up. I run a 60gb SSD (which ive been meaning to upgrade) and I have always had emby store metadata and pictures and such within the media file locations. I also offload the transcoding temp location because at any given day its floating ~15-20gb of usage. I noticed the drive had 16gb of transcoding files for some reason. Reviewing my settings I tried to set my transcoding temp location and it throws the below error: "Emby Server requires write access to this folder. Please ensure write access and try again." System specs: Supermicro X8DTL 2x Intel Xeon E5645 24gb DDR3 ECC Reg mem 4x 6TB seagate Iron Wolf 60gb SSD Arch 5.6.6-arch1-1 Emby 4.4.2.0 I run a pretty simple drive setup, with all the drives mounted in /storage/ with their SD$ name as the mount point: Emby owns the storage directory, and all of the subsequent mount points and drives. I usually run a chmod 777 -R * and a chown emby:emby -R * I have always done this since the olden days of media browser (og user woot woot!) as I've found it prevents any issues with emby downloading metadata and subtitles etc / drwxrwxrwx+ 11 emby emby 4096 Sep 6 2019 storage /storage/ drwxrwxrwx+ 11 emby emby 4096 Sep 6 2019 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Jan 25 15:53 .. drwxrwxrwx 7 emby emby 4096 Apr 12 08:28 sda drwxrwxrwx 4 emby emby 4096 Mar 21 13:46 sdb drwxrwxrwx+ 2 emby emby 4096 Feb 19 2019 sdc drwxrwxrwx 6 emby emby 4096 May 23 13:57 sdd drwxrwxrwx+ 2 emby emby 4096 Feb 19 2019 sde drwxrwxrwx 4 emby emby 4096 Jun 7 2019 sdf drwxrwxrwx+ 2 emby emby 4096 Feb 19 2019 sdg drwxrwxrwx+ 2 emby emby 4096 Feb 19 2019 sdh drwxrwxrwx+ 3 emby emby 4096 May 1 2019 sdi /storage/sda/ drwxrwxrwx 7 emby emby 4096 Apr 12 08:28 . drwxrwxrwx+ 11 emby emby 4096 Sep 6 2019 .. drwxrwxrwx 1131 emby emby 192512 May 11 07:31 Movies drwxrwxrwx 147 emby emby 12288 Mar 15 18:42 TV drwxrwxrwx 3 emby emby 4096 Apr 19 03:00 backups drwxrwxrwx 2 emby emby 4096 Apr 12 08:28 metadata drwxrwxrwx 2 emby emby 6045696 Apr 22 07:24 transcoding-temp It appears that new metadata is not saving to media folders despite the checked options (see screenshot) Also a screenshot of the error has been added. It doesnt seem to matter where I set the storage to, if it be one of the 6tb drives or even a local directory, although it will let me put the transcoding temp as the folder above the default location (/var/lib/private/emby/transcoding-temp) Also I dont think there is an issue with the ACL for storage getfacl storage/ # file: storage/ # owner: emby # group: emby user::rwx group::rwx #effective:r-x group:emby:rwx #effective:r-x mask::r-x other::r-x default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:group:emby:rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::rwx I'm sure if I got drunk and gave it a good 2 or 3 hours I could figure it out but I have zero free time right now. Any help would be very appreciated!!! +Edit 1, codeblocks seem to have failed

Since updating to 4.8.11 when watching something with ASS subtitles while having the force burn in ASS subtitles option selected I will have to start playback twice before it starts transcoding. The first time I have to press play, and then it will just constantly show the spinning wheel but in the dashboard it will show it as playing via direct play. I then stop playback on the device and press play again and then it will start actually showing in dashboard as transcoding and burning in ASS subs. However in the logs both times it will show it as starting a transcode. This has only been happening in 4.8.11 it worked fine in 4.8.10 (Currently on mobile so unable to upload logs, however once at PC I will add them as a comment)

Hi all, I'm attempting to use Emby's "Grouping" feature to combine two versions of a video into a single listing. However, when I do this I instead am left with two listings, each showing the two versions (see attached screenshots). I've tried rescanning the library, but that hasn't helped. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I am moving from a Windows Server to Linux. Tried the backup and restore, but after restoring to Linux, the system just kept giving me weird problems. For example, it would keep telling me that library folders were invalid when I was changing them to the unix format. Got fed up with it all and decided to skip the restore process. Well, that certainly cleared up any problems I was having. Now, I just need to get select data from the old server and manually copy it to the new one--LiveTV Channel guide and my Recordings. Thankfully, all of the media is on a separate NAS and totally available. So... Looking at the windows box, I believe I need to pull some files from the Program Data folder: C:\Users\LocalUser\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata, and put them into the unix program data folder: /var/packages/emby/var. Which files exactly do I need to copy for Recordings and LiveTV channels? I am also betting that I may need to edit the data to use Linux paths as opposed to Windows. Thanks!

I wanted to share my fail2ban configuration for people that want to protect against a brute force attack. Fail2ban is a piece of software that will monitor log files for a authentication failures then ban the source ip address after so many attempts to protect against a brute force attack. I searched around for an tutorial or how to on how to implement this for emby and came up short, so I decided to give it a try and got it to work without much trouble at all. I wouldn't consider myself an expert and this is my first how to I have every written so if I made a mistake or I'm wrong let me know, and use my instructions at your own risk. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK THIS PROBABLY WILL NOT WORK IF YOU ARE USING EMBY CONNECT I'm not using emby connect because I think it has some security problems listed here https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/80497-log-out-security-hole/ You need to install fail2ban For my setup with ubuntu 18.10 I used, (should be the same for debian but I haven't tested) sudo apt install fail2ban To get fail2ban working with emby there are two parts, filter and jail, they both have their directories (jail.d) (filter.d) in /etc/fail2ban/ cpeng@g5500:~$ cd /etc/fail2ban/ cpeng@g5500:/etc/fail2ban$ ls action.d fail2ban.conf fail2ban.d filter.d jail.conf jail.d paths-arch.conf paths-common.conf paths-debian.conf paths-opensuse.conf The jail controls what happens with an authentication error and the filter tells how to read the log to find the error. Create a filter: cpeng@g5500:/etc/fail2ban$ sudo nano filter.d/emby.conf /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/emby.conf # Fail2Ban for emby # # [Definition] failregex = AUTH-ERROR: <HOST> - Invalid user or password entered ignoreregex = EDIT: New failregex proposed (below) by @@nayr to catch 401 errors and attempts to find valid user names [Definition] failregex = AUTH-ERROR: <HOST> - Invalid user HTTP Response 401 to <HOST>. The failregex tells what the log line will have in it that designates a fail and "<HOST>" designated the actual ip address. That error looked like this: 2019-12-24 11:12:00.326 Warn HttpServer: AUTH-ERROR: 10.9.162.31 - Invalid user or password entered. So I assumed that AUTH-ERROR will be unique to login errors which is why I started the filter with that. Next you have to create the jail in cpeng@g5500:/etc/fail2ban$ sudo nano jail.d/emby.local /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/emby.local [emby] enabled = true filter = emby logpath = /var/lib/emby/logs/embyserver.txt port = 80,443 I use a reverse proxy that uses ports 80,443, but if you aren't doing that then you want to block the default ports 8096,8920 The logpath may vary from distribution, you can find yours in your dashboard under paths. There are other options that you can add, my default ban time was 10 minutes and max number of retries was 5 which is default which seemed fine to me. The last thing you need to do is reload fail2ban so it re reads the files. sudo systemctl reload fail2ban Then test by entering the wrong password into emby and confirm that it blocks you. Check out the fail2ban.log at /var/log/fail2ban.log tail /var/log/fail2ban.log For testing this command might also come in handy: sudo fail2ban-client unban --all Hope this is helpful. P.S. I recently switched from plex to emby for the dvr service and so far I have been very impressed and happy with how it works. I got tired of all the bugs with plex, that would never get fixed, instead we got new "features" and new interfaces. The icing on the cake is how responsiveness the developers are on these forums.

edit: just noticed this is for linux. im on windows 10 latest beta. still happening. I'm seem to be getting/noticing now, this allot after running refresh on a library. if its because emby uses .net 2.0 and ffprobe uses the latest that makes sense for the error. so what part is actually not working then? since it does refresh the meta data. also couldn't we use an older version of ffprobe built with .net 2.0? if so do you have a link for that version of ffprobe ? and will that older version of ffprobe cause issues with other emby functions?

Hi, I am in the process of a full library scan, and I see the following errors appear in the server logs repeatedly. System.Exception: ffprobe failed for file... streams and format are both null and [matroska,webm @ 0xebdc00] Format matroska,webm detected only with low score of 1, misdetection possible!

So I had an issue last night with IPTV channels all going offline. I suspect it was related to my disk getting full. I resolved that by deleting some media to free up space but then I discovered that all the channel mapping to guide sources had been lost. I recovered from a backup and thought it was resolved as I had guide data back but I've discovered that that I have guide data but the channels are not mapped to the guide data source or guide data channel. When I try to relink the channel to a data source I can select the guide data source in from the dropdown menu but then the dropdown to add the guide data channel is completely empty so I can't select the channel data to link it as shown below. I've tried added new guide data sources and if it's one I've not used previously I can see the guide data channels but if I've used it already, even if I delete the guide data source completely it still comes up blank like above. I've also tried deleting them all and then restoring from a backup but its the same. I have some channels pulling from an xmltv source and that's all working fine. Any thoughts on how to resolve it? I am on version 4.8.8.0 is it worth trying to update to 4.8.10.0 and seeing if that resolves it? Can I then still restore from the backup made in the previous version? As I mentioned when I restore from a backup I do get guide data on all the channels but as soon as it tries to update the guide data during the next scheduled task it all disappears as the sources/channels are not mapped correctly.

Hi People, I've just got into Emby and the more I use it the more I love it. I'm trying to get the folder permissions right once and for all as at the moment iàm having to run a chmod 770 on the media directory every time I add media which is not handy. I would just like all the contents to inherit the file permissions of the main directory. Now i know this may be more of a LInux OS question but I post it here as I want to make sure Emby server is happy with this level of settings. At the moment I have a Movies folder that belongs to "emby" group and "antonio" (a normal unix user that is the admin user of the emby server) is member of that group. I set the sticky bit on te "Movies" folder with: chmod g+s Movies so that I have: drwxrwsr--+ 21 antonio emby 4096 nov 10 11:50 Movies You'll see that I have access control set on this folder which I did with the following two commands: setfacl -d -m g::rwx /<directory> //set group to rwx default setfacl -d -m o::r /<directory> //set other After doing this, I created a folder in the MOvies directory via terminal mkdir Baaria (2009) So that: drwx--S---+ 2 antonio emby 4096 nov 10 11:51 Baaria (2009) and the file inside this folder: -rw------- 1 antonio antonio 2098558137 apr 15 2015 Baaria (2009).m4v When I run the getfacl command on the Movies folder, I get: # file: Movies/ # owner: antonio # group: emby # flags: -s- user::rwx group::rwx other::r-- default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:other::r-- EMBY doesn't seem to be happy with the newly created folder permissions (see below) not quite sure why though. I'm sure this is to do with my ignorance on the unix file system management and the use of the setfacl command or maybe I'm just overcomplicating things. Any suggestions?

Im using Linux Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit and Asustor AS-604T ADM 3.2.1 This requires you do own a domain and have create a Lets Encrypt certificate! Following ports should be open: 80, 443, 8096 and 8920 1. Login to ADM web interface > Settings > Certificate Manager - Click on Export Certificate. 2. Extract certificate.zip and open the folder certifiate 3. right click in the folder - select open terminal 4. enter the command: * Please change the name of the give-me-a-name.pfx * After execution of this command you will be prompted to create a password, this is recommanded! openssl pkcs12 -export -out give-me-a-name.pfx -inkey ssl.key -in ssl.crt 5. Save the new create give-me-a-name.pfx file on your NAS in a shared folder of own choice 6. go to: http://local.ip.of.nas:8096/ 7. Go to Advanced and do the following Check that Allow remote connection to this Emby Server is marked. * add external domain name * Custon ssl certificate path (Click on the magnifier right to the text field and navigate to where the .pfx file is. * Certificate password - Add the password you entered after execution of step 4. * Secure connection mode - Set to preferred, but not required. 8. Hit save and navigate to Controlpanel > Restart - Now you should be able to access the Emby Media Server from outside.

Hello everyone, first of all I am new here and also in Emby, you will see me actively here often asking questions. I have a question, I have a proxmox server and inside 2 LXC one of jellyfin which is the one I currently use and another that I created a while ago to test Emby, I really want to see how it is because I have been told it is more advanced than Jellyfin and has more features and better clients, my doubt to all this is that my server has an intel i5 12500 with an iGPU UHD 770, currently I have by passthrough the 770 in the LXC of jellyfin and transcoding works perfectly and makes use of it if necessary, my question here is: In Emby will it also work the same way? or do I need a premium version? PD: this is how I have it configured in both Jellyfin and Emby, that's why I ask if I need the premium version to transcode or not.

I was trying the camera upload feature in my android phone. When I enabled it for the first time on phone A, it created 6 libraries that points to /var/lib/emby/data/camerauploads. Huh, weird. So I deleted the remaining 5 libraries. It successfully deleted all of them. Then later that day, I also enabled the camera upload feature on my phone B. It created the same exact six camera upload library again, all pointing to the same path as before. When I am trying to delete all those 6 libraries, it just doesn't respond. So I tried deleting data/camerauploads folder, but it still won't delete. When I checked the log, it logs the delete command but then nothing after that. No error, no info. Nothing related to library deletion. I also checked the root/default folder, there's no camera upload folders there. This weird behavior is also causing full cpu load on my setup on every library scan that forced me to restart emby server to restore it's functionality. embyserver.txt

Since the latest update we have been unable to stream live OTA channels to our ROKU devices. The only change has been the update to EMBY. Our OTA is streamed through a HDHomerun Extend which has worked fine for years. The Roku simply shows the spinner as if the show were starting then doesn't actually start. The spinner continues to look as though it were buffering or something, stops for a second or two and you think the show is about to start but then it starts spinning again and never starts. To complicate matters the same thing is happening when I try to play a Live TV stream over the network to another PC in the house which I've never had a problem with. It fails outright on the pc the spinner doesn't keep starting over it just fails and kicks me out to the guide. Again to complicate things further when I try to stream to my iphone it plays just fine. This happens both through the house network and remote network. So something is preventing playback just to the Roku and PC devices in the house network. I am running the server on a linux box, headless. I only get on it when I have to do an update. I run Arch linux, so I will need to make sure there hasn't been some other update that broke anything on the system but I've never had a problem with this since converting to Arch on my server in roughly five or so years so I don't think I will find any issues there but I will verify that when I get the chance. The pc I am trying to view live tv on is also a linux machine running Arch. I normally maintain my server setup from this other unit and have no issues but since the last update live tv is now dead... The thing is if there were something strange going on with permissions or something then I would think I couldn't stream to the iphone as well as the pc's and ROKU's but that isn't the case. So I believe the server PC is operating fine and there is a change to the EMBY server app that is causing the problem... Recorded TV and the movie library stream fine. This is only happening with Live TV... I have attached the logs. The last four attempts at play back are a failed playback to a ROKU device, failed playback to PC, successful playback to iphone both local network and remote. I hope I get feedback as it stopped entirely on another thread I had interjected myself into as I am not the only one with playback issues on ROKU since the new update... Honestly, if it were just me I wouldn't know it wasn't streaming live tv I almost never watch it. However, my wife watches it daily, DAILY. In the morning getting ready for work. In the evenings for local news, occasionally other shows she likes available OTA. So you can imagine how often I am being asked if there is any progress on this... Please help if you can. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-27ff977d-0d5c-48ce-ac6c-b2b5fe0d20d0_1.txt

Hi, I'm noticing that whenever I set quality to auto, it direct plays but the video stutters every 2 seconds. If i manually set the bit rate to match the video bit rate it works smoothly.. but setting it to auto causes it lag or buffer every 2 seconds on certain videos. If i seek then it struggles to play it. Sometimes auto picks up the wrong quality setting entirely like choosing 720p 4Mbps for a 10Mbps bitrate.. I'm not sure what's wrong with my config. Any help would be appreciated. I'm using emby server 4.8.10 and I have an NVIDIA GPU. I'm attaching logs for reference when this happens.. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-c32e80a8-e89c-448a-b8e3-23d0dffdf933_1.txt

I'm running emby server on a linux kubernetes cluster with 2 NVIDIA GPUs. On any device (Fire stick, ipad, phone or browser) for several videos if i seek the stream forward or backward even by a little bit, the video starts stuttering every 2 seconds. There's no recovery from that. Even if i exit the app and come back and try to resume the lag remains. Then I tried fiddling with the quality settings - I don't need to reduce to the point of transcoding. I just kept swapping between Auto and 1080p - 10Mbps. The video is a 1080p H264 and bitrate of 8mbps. Finally after multiple tries it continues playing normally at 1080p - 10Mbps still as a Direct play. The server dashboard says the stream is direct play throughout. I'm attaching some logs. The logs are while playing on the ipad. If you would like me to get you logs for some other device, let me know and i would be more than happy to pull them. ffmpeg-remux-seek-recov.txt embyserver-seek-recov.txt ffmpeg-remux-seek.txt embyserver-seek.txt

I continue to experience the same problem with Music Library: Sort Title in nfo file is being overwritten by Emby. Example, this album with "...Meets the Saxophone Masters" as title, for which I changed SORTTITLE to "Meets the Saxophone Masters" (removing the starting ellipses). See images below: edited nfo has different Title and Sort Title, as do source files as viewed ion MP3Tag. Per @Luke's new guidance, I went into Folder view, did both Scan Files and Refresh Metadata on that folder and all its contents, but you can see in last image that nfo has been reverted to old, incorrect Sort Title. Log file is also attached. Why is Emby still not respecting either existing nfo nor embedded metadata? embyserver.txt

Emby server does not load sorttitle tag from nfo. "title" is loaded to "sort title". "title" tag and other tags are loaded successfully. my emby version: 4.8.1.0 on debian 12

Emby is working fine with the latest 4.7 release but when I go to update it to 4.8 it starts to update the library.db and then fails saying the database is maformed. What can I do to get updated to 4.8 without just deleting the library.db and losing all data (especially watched data)? For some context this is an ubuntu 22.04 lxc container on a Proxmox server.
