I encountered the following two issues on Emby 4.8.8.0 - Adding to favorites shows two instances of a song and removing the song from favorites removes both instances - Playing a file doesn't load the correct name for the song. You have to select the song again to see its correct name. Both of these two issues are shown in the following video taken on an Android phone. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pix77fNK9-AMxWXnF_207BaC-zbkrJoN/ The "favorite" issue is also reproducible on Samsung TV where two instances are added/removed for the same song. The song for "favorite" issue is available through the following link. There is no copywrite or licensing for it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1plp3F1a-wyaVFdmEyf-ICtZwMpnW-OGU/view?usp=sharing Emby Version 4.8.8.0 Emby for Android 3.3.95 Emby for Samsung 1.8.0 Emby server log is attached. embyserver.txt

A common reason Emby's Real Time Monitoring (RTM) stops working on Synology NAS is because the Unix set user limit on inotify instances and/or watches has been reached as a result of a large number of changes for instances to process and/or the total amount of folders, files, etc that need to be monitored by watches. When RTM stops working you may start to see errors in your server logs like the following where the default number of user watches (8192) has been reached. A similar error will show up when the default inotify instances (128) is reached. System.IO.IOException: System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (8192) on the number of inotify watches has been reached, or the operating system failed to allocate a required resource. To increase the number of inotify instances and/or watches create the following task in DSM control panel Task Scheduler logged on with admin privileges. 1. Create a Triggered Task...User-defined script to run at Boot-up 2. Paste the following commands under the Task Settings tab sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576; sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances=4096; 3. Click Run to execute the new task (if not logged on as admin then a restart may be necessary) The task will then rerun during every boot to prevent the changes from being reverted back to default from a DSM update. To check that your changes took affect you can optionally run the following commands in Terminal cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches If your library gets really big and the limit of user watches is again reached, then just increase the number again. The maximum number of watches allowed in Unix is 524,288 and each used watch takes about 1kb of memory on a 32-bit system (double on 64-bit). However, it will only use what is needed based on the number of items being watched.
