Podcast Plugin Trial

Hello

The podcast plugin states that "This plugin will require an active Emby Premiere subscription after the 14 day free trial."

I installed Emby Server on the 16th of August 2022, so according to this wording, I am currently in the 14 day free trial.

However, after adding a number of podcast URLs, no podcast items appear in my library.

Have I miss-understood something?

Cheers
Stephen

Hi.  Did the "Refresh Internet Channels" task run to completion after you added those?  If so, can we please see the Emby Server log from when that happened?

Thanks.

Hi ebr

I've just tailed the server logs while I ran the scheduled task:

However, I only installed Emby last week. Here is a screenshot of the container history in Proxmox

Here are the log lines from dpkg.log showing Emby being installed

Hi ebr

Never.

I have the server logs (syslog) for the first time emby-server was started, will pasting them here help?

Cheers

I guess it is possible that this is a very rare clash of a hash.  Unfortunately, I don't know that there is anything we can do about it.  If you PM me the "mb.lic" file from your EmbyServer/config folder, I can try.

Hi ebr

I cannot find this file under /var/lib/emby or any of it's sub directories.

Do you want my serverid?

This morning I tried a brand new install of emby on a completely new machine, on a different internet connection, different operating system (windows), exactly the same thing happens - the podcast plugin doesn't offer a trial period.

2022-08-24 09:05:59.311 Warn Channel: PodCasts trial has expired.

I have also noticed that the Trailers plugin also offer a trial, but this does not work either. (No relevant entries appear in the log)

I'm going to suggest that if the trial system is broken and no development time will be put into it to fixing it, then you should remove "after the 14 day free trial." from anywhere it's mentioned.

Many Thanks
Stephen

Hi ebr

No change. I restarted the service. I re-run the scheduled task. Logs still say "Warn Channel: PodCasts trial has expired."

FYI. I am going to buy a licence for Emby once I'm happy all the features I want to use are working correctly because this software is quite frankly amazing.

Cheers
Stephen

Okay, thanks for trying again.  I'm not sure why the trial isn't working for you.  I know the basic trial system is working because it is working for new Android TV installs.  Perhaps there is something just with the plug-ins or perhaps it is somehow related to your installation.

Thanks for taking a look ebr.

Yes, my Amazon Fire TV Stick app says the trail expires on the 31st of August, so some aspect must be working.

Based on the millisecond timestamps in the logs, I would guess the plugin isn't even attempting to contact your servers.

Cheers
Stephen
