  1. Watching AV1 videos on Emby applications (Android and MacOS) without server encoding (Direct Play) is really bad. Playing AV1 videos works really smooth in browsers on the same devices (Samsung Galaxy S20 and MacBook Pro with i7-8850H).
  2. My problem is that I can't do playback on my Mac on my emby server. At first I thought it was because the files were mp4, but when I installed and properly got them working by default with vlc, this still didn't help in emby. What happens is I click on an episode, this error comes and it instantly finishes the episode and marks is as watched. I can playback on my Apple TV with these files from my server, but the issue there is regardless of when I leave the episode, if its in the middle of it or whatever it marks it as played which is a big issue. I then decided to convert all the files to MKV to see if that helped, removed and re-added a new library with the new files, but still an issue. My aim is to have them working fine on Mac, but if not, at least working to where they're not immediately marked as played on my Apple TV. Hopefully someone can help with this, I did create a standard new library and didn't have issues when doing the exact same thing on PC. Also using the latest emby server for the latest OS of Mac. I also wanted to note in the logs it doesn’t show up any errors, it just says “my username played this media file” and that’s it
  3. I’m planning to run Ubuntu on my mac mini instead of macOS. Has anyone made this transition? Is it is a straightforward process? Is it as easy as moving the database home directory to the Linux user? Will it be easy to map the new root directory given the entire file tree for all my movies, TV, and pictures are exactly the same? Anything else I should know before making the transition? Like are there any subtle differences in functionality of the server itself?
  4. Hey Emby team, After about 3 months of trying out Emby, I'm a bit disappointed. As a web developer, I have a basic technical understanding and know what work it takes to produce good software. For a user, however, it is annoying when this software only works poorly. I was initially impressed by how well you can manage your music archive with Emby, it's a really nice solution. But listening to music with Emby is very disappointing. I'd better describe this briefly: My music archive consists mainly of self-produced MP3 files from my CD collection, they are usually encoded at 320 kBit. For newer purchases, I tend to look for the availability of FLAC or other lossless formats. I use 2 ChromeCast speakers, one of which is about 6 years old and 3 meters (about 10 feet) away from the wireless router. I bought the other one a few months ago, it's in another room and there are two walls in between. I only use the 5-GHz band because of too much neighbour traffic on 2,4 GHz. Initially, the Emby server ran on my MacBook with Big Sur, where I streamed to the two ChromeCast speakers using the Google Chrome browser. The long pauses (sometimes 5 seconds or longer) between the tracks are very annoying. In addition, the connection to the ChromCast speakers repeatedly breaks off for seconds. I have noticed that FLAC files are played back more stably than MP3 files. Then I set up an old iPad as a media player with the Emby app to stream the music from the MacBook to the ChromeCast speakers. Here, too, I have the same problems as when streaming with the MacBook: very long pauses and an unstable connection to ChromeCast. Also the play queue is disappearing, while still playing music. Wouldn't it be better to have a possibility to show the play queue, no matter if there are tracks listed or empty? In the meantime, I have moved Emby to my home server with Ubuntu 22.04 to try my luck there - unfortunately, no luck. Here, too, it is hardly possible to listen to music with Emby for any length of time without interference. Both the MacBook and the Linux server are connected to the router via cable (1 GBit). So it cannot be due to insufficient bandwidth. I know from MP3 that it is not possible per se to play the next track without interruption due to the format design. Some players solve the problem with a crossfade. Shouldn't this also be possible with a player in the browser? I have noticed that FLAC files seem to be streamed much more stable than MP3. I have started to convert some of the MP3 albums with freac to gapless/lossless FLAC files with CUE-Sheet, but this is too much work for my complete archive. And above all, the data then takes up 3-4 times the space. In the meantime, I listen to my music archive on Ubuntu with Elisa and stream the output to the speaker group with Mkchromecast. This all works smoothly and with MP3 I only have minimal interruptions between tracks (< 250 ms). Streaming to ChromeCast from the Apple system is apparently a pain in the a**e, no matter how you try it. Nevertheless, I will keep an eye on Emby. Thank you very much for your work, I really appreciate it. Kind regards, Achim

    NGINX Setup for Emby on Mac

    I have been running Emby off my Mac mini M1 for a while now without issue. I setup SSL certification for remote access and everything has been working great. Right now, though, I have to renew my certificates every 90 days and then restart the Server for the new Certs to take effect. I have been using CertBot and OpenSSL for my certificate creation. I was trying to explore the use of NGINX Reverse Proxy as a way to automate the SSL Certificate process. Specifically, I could have a powershell script run to generate my certificates using CertBot and then I wouldn't have to worry about restarting the Emby Server as part of the process. I went though the recommended HOW TO: NGINX for Windows Topic that is recommended. And that was very useful for generating my Config file. However, I have not yet been able to get the Reverse Proxy to work. Here is my Config File (this is taken directly from the other HOW TO post): worker_processes 2; events { worker_connections 8192; } http { include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; server_tokens off; gzip on; gzip_disable "msie6"; gzip_comp_level 6; gzip_min_length 1100; gzip_buffers 16 8k; gzip_proxied any; gzip_types text/plain text/css text/js text/xml text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript application/json application/xml application/rss+xml image/svg+xml; tcp_nodelay on; sendfile off; server_names_hash_bucket_size 128; map_hash_bucket_size 64; ## Start: Timeouts ## client_body_timeout 10; client_header_timeout 10; keepalive_timeout 30; send_timeout 10; keepalive_requests 10; ## End: Timeouts ## ## Default Listening ## server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; server_name _; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } ##EMBY Server## server { listen [::]:80; listen 80; listen [::]:443 ssl; listen 443 ssl; server_name mydomain.com; # ssl_session_timeout 30m; ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.1 TLSv1; ssl_certificate /private/etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/cert.pem; ssl_certificate_key /private/etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/privkey.pem; ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; ssl_ciphers ECDH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+3DES:!ADH:!AECDH:!MD5; proxy_hide_header X-Powered-By; add_header X-Xss-Protection "1; mode=block" always; add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always; add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=2592000; includeSubdomains" always; add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always; add_header 'Referrer-Policy' 'no-referrer'; add_header Content-Security-Policy "frame-ancestors mydomain.com;"; #add your domainname and all subdomains listed on your cert location / { proxy_pass http://192.168.86.21:8096; # This is my local emby ip and non SSL port proxy_hide_header X-Powered-By; proxy_set_header Range $http_range; proxy_set_header If-Range $http_if_range; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; #Next three lines allow websockets proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; } } } I know the syntax works because I ran the command sudo nginx -t and the test was successful. So I guess where I am struggling is the Emby Network Settings and/or the Port Forwarding. As I mentioned, I have Remote Access with mydomain.com working already, so I am at least familiar with these areas (in so much that I know the router works if the ports are set up correctly). But I am not 100% sure that I have these setup the way they are supposed to be configured. I have local http/https as 8096/8920. I have public http/https as 80/443. I forwarded the 80 and 443 ports on my router to the computer that is running NGINX (which is the same computer where Emby runs). Does anyone see where I may have gone wrong, or where I might be missing a step?

    Random Question about Alerts

    When I go to the dashboard to manage Emby... there's the Alert section that shows everything from the last 7 days with the "See All" link showing farther back. Is there any way you can selectively hide some errors. Example, (this didn't happen, just an example) a backup was supposed to run last night and failed. It shows up in the Alert section. I notice and manually run a backup that works. Now I'm stuck seeing that failure for 7 days although I already took care of the problem. Would manually deleting the logs clear this (and everything else) from Alerts or is that stored in the database instead? Ideally, I'd like maybe a 'x' that shows up to the right of each alert that I can hit to either delete or hide that alert.
  7. I am a recent Plex convert. My Plex environment was fully functional, including hardware transcoding, so I know all of the drivers etc. are configured correctly. I am subscribed to Premier. What I'm seeing is that I can browse all media normally using a web browser. I can start transcoded streams just fine from within my browser, switch between stream profiles, and see in the server that transcoding is happening normally. However, many transcoded videos simply refuse to play using the MacOS app (v.2.2.13). If I start the stream, it will spin for a while and load a blank, black screen. No media starts playing. If I max out the quality settings so that I get a direct stream, the video will play. This still happens even if I switch over to software transcoding, so I don't think it's a hardware vs. software issue. Logs attached. I am running through a reverse proxy. ffmpeg-transcode-a6101a69-5bc3-4733-b505-987a6578c760_1.txt embyserver.txt
  8. I'm new to Emby. I've followed all the instructions. But just can't get the subtitles to show when I play Emmy on my ATV4K. Please help get this sorted and I can't wait to get premium features. Thanks. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-e2f97383-039c-496b-860b-8732727076c7_1.txt
  9. Hi Emby team/community. So my setup is a seagate 4T hard drive connected to an ASUS AX86U router and enable smb file sharing, having Emby read the media there. I’ve managed to get a few movies on the hard drive to test it out. But Emby plays incredibly slow on both my tv and my Mac, and I couldn’t figure out why. I then thought maybe it’s not Emby’s issue but that a router smb server just could not handle it? So I tested this by connecting to the smb server directly through my laptop and pc, and playing the movie there; it worked perfectly and was super fast. Any idea what might I be doing wrong with setting up Emby? (My Emby server is set up on my MacBook, server log attached) Thanks. embyserver.txt

    Question about High Sierra

    Will 4.7.3 be available for "macOS 10.13+ (High Sierra and Above)"? I am stuck on High Sierra with the Mac mini I use to run Emby Server, at least until the budget allows for an upgrade. Is this the last Emby upgrade I'll be able to install on that machine?

    Conversion Tool loses subtitles

    I am in the process of converting some of my MKV files to play properly on Apple TV. I tried out the conversion tool and it works great and the quality is great, but the subtitles embedded in the MKV file are lost during conversion. Is there a way to keep those? Application version: 4.7.1.0 MacOS Not sure which log to provide.

    4.7.3 randomly inaccessable

    After installing 4.7.3 yesterday Emby randomly becomes inaccessible and I have to "force quit" the process to restart the server. Seems to happen every 8 hours or so. embyserver-63791344189.txt hardware_detection-63791344195.txt

    Setting up library

    Ok, i've posted a lot over the last few days as I set up emby for the first time. (migrating from Plex) Today's question: I'm running the server on Nvidia Shield. I'm managing the server on my mac laptop. The media, about 2500 movies is located on a hard drive plugged into the shield. Now, as i set up this main library, I am editing ALL the metadata. I manually enter a "critic rating" then sort by critic rating, thus i get the 2500 movies in order from what I think are masterpieces to what I think are, well, odd junk that i sorta like. As I do this on the mac, shouldn't what I see on the shield match it exactly? It doesn't. Foe instance, the very first three movies on the mac are , in this order, The Apartment, All About Eve, 2001: A Space Odessy. On the shield they appear in this order: The Apartment, 2001:A Space Odessy, All about Eve. (I realize this is sort of labor intensive and, well, a little nuts, but there you are.) Shouldn't they match? I'm only managing the server on the mac, after all. (All three of those movies are rated "10" btw.) Also, in both locations, if I have 30 movies all with the critic rating 7.5, they appear together, as one would expect, but in REVERSE alphabetical order (from Z to A), This seems very odd to me. Not as problematic as the first issue, but very strange. Thoughts? Help? ten thousand thank yous!!
  14. Hello, Still quite new to using Emby with Docker. Below is the line from my container run for the configuration folder. The container creates the folder. I also tested prior by having the folders already created locally. However the container is still creating the folder within itself as far as I know. I also have a Sonarr setup where I'm using a similar line of code to have it put its configuration files in the below successfully. I just wanted to have all of my containers configuration files uniformly accessible in the same location incase I want to check logs outside of the respective services, and create backups without having to backup the entire container. Regards, Vivid
  15. Hi @Luke & @ebr I wanted to know if there is a beta update of the Emby for macOS app that supports M1 Macs. If not, do you have a rough estimate of when it will be updated on the macOS App Store? Thanks, Braeden

    Subtitles not downloading on MacOS

    Hello, Although scheduled to run each night. The process to download any new subtitles is set to run, and does. However, it doesn't download all the subtitles, in fact it fails with the following message: ffmpeg subtitle extraction failed for file:"/Users/David/emby-server/cache/temp/23f0ce6d-0784-4cf4-afe8-dc84a7fd885f.txt" to /Users/David/emby-server/cache/subtitles I have noticed a number of the TV Show's I have on my NAS (That is connected to Emby) doesn't have subtitles. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks
  17. I'm trying out Emby for the first time. Is there any way to put beats per minute (BPM) info into Emby for music tracks? It's something that I use a lot in my current setup. Emby looks promising and I hope there's some way to include this info for music.

    [PSA] MacOS system requirements for 4.3.x

    Posting this in case it helps someone avoid the issue I had. Emby Server for MacOS 4.3.x requires MacOS 10.13 -- this is a change from Emby Server 4.2.x which could run on MacOS 10.12. The release notes don't mention this (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/blog/1/entry-477-emby-server-43-released/) Even worse, the Wiki lists the requirement as MacOS 10.6.3 (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/System-requirements) This is disappointing as I'm not the first person to point this out but the release notes and Wiki haven't been updated. Consider this a friendly nudge to update the documentation accordingly.

    Force shutdown

    Hi I noticed that my PC stopped responding after a few hours. Emby is stops playing a stream but cannot be closed. It only helps to press the on / off switch for a long time to switch off the PC. Is it an Emby Problem?

    Versión 4.5.20 on MacOS

    I see there is a version 5.4.20 for macOS, yet the blog that describes the changes included in this version only states that this is to address some issues on Windows. Is there any reason to upgrade to this version on a Mac?

    Big Sur support

    Hi, Just a quick check to see if Emby is fully compatible with Big Sur before I update my server? Thanks in advance!
  23. My Emby server is Version 4.2.1.0 on a Mac Mini. I keep Emby player open on the Mac Mini and remote control the player using the player app from various other devices -- my Android phone, and Android tablet, my Macbook, my wife's PC laptop. About once a week or so, when I click the "Play On" icon on a remote player, nothing shows in the list of available players to control. It just says "Play On" with nothing below it. If this happens on, for example, my phone, I'll go to my MacBook and try from there but get the same result. In other words, it affects all players on all devices when it happens. Library content from the server is still visible and playable locally on that device. The way I've found to "fix" it is to VNC into the Mac Mini (it's headless) and change the focus of the active apps -- if Emby player is the front-most active window, I'll click on the desktop to make the Finder active, then click Emby to make it active again. If Emby isn't the front-most window, I'll bring it to the front. Basically any change to the focus of Emby player on the server fixes it. Thoughts? thanks

    Move from macOS to Linux

    Hi there , i think about to move from my mac mini to a Intel NUC with Linux. Now i have a few Questions : is there a clean way to backup restore all settings without rebuilding the Library? I think about a 10th Generation i5 NUC will this be a good choice even for transcoding? (Max 2 streams) besides emby is FHEM,iobroker and a TVheadend Server running. Server only - no tv attached which OS would you prefer ? Ubuntu? Debian? Thanks for tipps

    ALAC/m4a files playback error

    Hello everybody, since I started using Emby (2-3 months now), I've never been able to play my ALAC/m4a hires audio files. Every time I try to play a file, the "no compatible streams" error comes up. This happens on macOS version of Emby (last update), on the webOS version, but it doesn't happen on my iOS device. Think I've read any thread on the matter, to no avail. Thanks for any help on this Logs follow --- hardware_detection-63721763186.txt embyserver.txt
