warrencalvert 11 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Hi I've had to rebuild a new Emby server and have been struggling for hours to get the config restored and set up. I'm using the backup/restore plugin but after restoring all the libraries appear 3 times. If I delete one of these, it deletes all 3. Any ideas why its doing this? Thanks, Warren.

warrencalvert 11 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Just to confirm, I've completely removed Emby and reinstalled from scratch. Then with a clean install and no libraries present I restore the latest backup and each library appears 3 times in the libraries page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37260 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 HI, yes this has been sporadically reported and we are still looking into the cause of it. For now I would just setup the libraries manually and use the restore function for users and user data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrencalvert 11 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 OK, thanks for the confirmation. Thought it was just me. I've also noticed it doesnt restore scheduled recordings (either one-offs or series). Any plans to include this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warrencalvert 11 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi Luke 01 - Bohemian Rhapsody.mp3 Attached are 3 examples and below are the times when they stop. Def Leppard\Women 1:53 Def Leppard\Love Bites 1:51 Queen\Bohemian Rhapsody 1:35 After more testing with the above tracks I've found that on Android Auto when these tracks get to these specific points it will either skip to the next track or will continue playing but with no audio (i.e. it continues playing to the end of the track but with no sound, then starts the next track normally). On Emby for Android I sometimes get the same experience as Android Auto but sometimes it will play the track fully without issue. Android Auto never plays these tracks successfully. Emby in a web browser (on Windows 10) or Emby Theatre always plays these tracks successfully and never has issues, as with other mp3 players I've used over the years. I hope this helps. I guess there's something in the file at this point, maybe an invalid value, that's causing Emby for Android a problem but its annoying that every other platform and mp3 player plays these tracks successfully. It affects random tracks through my entire library so would be incredibly difficult to identify and rip all of these from the original CDs again. So I'm hoping you can fix it within Emby. Thanks, Warren. 04 - Love Bites.mp3 01 - Women.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8356 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Not that I really know what it means but mp3diag would suggest header issues in the files. You could remux the tracks with say ffmpeg to correct the header issues and see if the resolves your issue.

warrencalvert 11 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 It does seem odd to not back up everything. But I dont have many scheduled recordings so not a big deal for me. What's the other reason? Just curious, I'm quite pleased with Emby's DVR overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No advanced subscription option, which boils down to it needs to be in the guide to set up a subscription. 5 minutes ago, Luke said: How often are you restoring data onto a new system? Over the years it has happened 3 to 4 times. But because of no advanced subscription options, it becomes a huge pain to set up recurring recordings again. Hardware failure is enough of a concern that I won't use a dvr service that I can't restore from backup. With that said, I still use emby to playback what I record.
