Hi, I'm not exactly what I'm doing wrong. Nothing has changed that I know of. I'm running version Version 4.7.14.0 Any file I select to 'Convert', I now get the following message: 2024-01-16 21:27:24.242 Error TaskManager: Error *** Error Report *** Version: 4.7.14.0 Command line: /opt/emby-server/system/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /var/lib/emby -ffdetect /opt/emby-server/bin/ffdetect -ffmpeg /opt/emby-server/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /opt/emby-server/bin/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3 -updatepackage emby-server-deb_{version}_amd64.deb Operating system: Linux version 4.15.0-193-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-022) (gcc version 7.5.0 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04)) #204-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 26 19:20:21 UTC 20 Framework: .NET 6.0.20 OS/Process: x64/x64 Runtime: opt/emby-server/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 2 Data path: /var/lib/emby Application path: /opt/emby-server/system System.NullReferenceException: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Emby.Server.Sync.SyncJobProcessor.SyncAudio(SyncJobItem jobItem, BaseItem item, User user, Boolean enableConversion, SyncOptions syncOptions, ISyncProvider provider, IProgress`1 progress, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Server.Sync.SyncJobProcessor.ProcessJobItem(SyncJobItem jobItem, Boolean enableConversion, IProgress`1 progress, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Server.Sync.SyncJobProcessor.SyncJobItems(Int64[] jobItemIds, Boolean enableConversion, IProgress`1 progress, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Server.Sync.SyncJobProcessor.Sync(IProgress`1 progress, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Server.Sync.SyncConvertScheduledTask.Execute(CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress`1 progress) at Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.ScheduledTaskWorker.ExecuteInternal(TaskOptions options) Source: Emby.Server.Sync TargetSite: Void MoveNext() In the Conversions page I see that the item is queued: This now happens for any item, even ones that have already been transcoded by EMBY. What am I missing here? Can anyone help? Many thanks! MM

Is it possible to encode with H265 instead of H264. I know my Rx480 supports it H265 encoding in OBS

Are there configurable settings somewhere for the new convert feature? I've been experimenting with that feature for converting my recorded TV shows, and I'm wondering if there are any settings buried anywhere outside of selecting either "Universal Mobile" or "Universal TV" from the options menu. Also, I've tried using both the "Universal Mobile" and "Universal TV" option, and the encodes come out identical, so I'm not sure what this selection is doing. Thanks.

So this feature is really nice. It helps playback start immediately. I am going to setup my mother and aunt on this for live TV but it poses one issue which keeps me from having them buy the lifetime. CPU power. Is there any change to integrate a feature for selecting quality on convert on the fly to a lower resolution so ffmpeg does not eat so much CPU power. Or is this a setting that can be changed in a file somewhere?

Why: hmm I'm lazy and don't like to adjust the volume of my TV for each Show\Movie. Requirements: VideoGain Visual C++ Runtimes must be installed VC2005 VC2008 VC2010 .NET Framework 2.0 must be installed (Standard Vista+) Instructions: Extract VideoGain archive into a folder...ideally called "VideoGain" so it's easy to find and use next time. Then read the ReadMe.txt it goes over nearly everything. Exceptions being, the command line has changed, and there is now AC3 encoding...which higher values equal better sound, but larger file sizes. You'll basically be looking to use ether ReplayGain or r128 Gain...if you live in Europe...I'd strongly suggest r128 as that is the spec used on TV stations there. Everywhere else...take your pick, both are fine...ReplayGain tends to be louder. If your audio is MP3 or AAC already...you may wish to use the (Tag) versions...as they are non-destructive...since there is no re-encoding of the audio. If you use a Roku, you should ether make your audio AC3 if you want more than Stereo...or use AAC. If you do go AAC and you have audio...that wasn't Stereo to being with...you should probably select "DownMix (Stereo)" Also if you use a Roku...if you go videos done in Xvid or the like...this will encode to H.264 making your videos playable without transcoding. If you do this...be sure to use a quality factor of 21 or less...smaller will mean a bigger file size, but also less damage. Also set the speed to Meduim or slower to cut down on file size.
