corion 2 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 hello, I use Emby for a few days, and it's a very good solution to stream my music from NAS to Sonos ; but when I read my playlists (m3u), most of the titles are played twice !! it becomes quickly boring after a few titles ; It happens with every playlist, and from my PC (web app) or from my pad (andoid app) would you have a clue for me ?? thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37151 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Hi there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corion 2 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 HI, what kind of example could I give to you ? it happens with short or long playlists (up to 10.000 titles), and with albums too : randomly, but frequently (about 1 of 2), the title is played twice ; it's weird, it seems to happen only when I stream to Sonos ( not tested yet with another player), but the bug is not present (until now) when I play the music without streaming, directly from and to my PC for example ... (don't know if I am very clear) I will make some new tests tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37151 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 When does the repeat occur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corion 2 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 at the end of a title, it's played again, as if I press the previous button ; then the next title is played, once or twice ... it's not systematic, I would say one on two titles ... it's very strange ... I saw a Sonos extension is available, I don't know what is utility (there is no configuration for it) ; I tried it, but Emby client became slower to start a title, and I found no new function ; so I desinstaled it is this extension necessary with Sonos player ?

Luke 37151 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Does the play queue match what is being played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corion 2 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 the queue is correct, no double track in the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corion 2 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 I listened to music, this morning (while painting the walls of my living room, youpi !), and I can say the problem doesn't exist whithout streaming ; when I played directly on my pad, there was not double play ; I tryed to stream on Sonos, and the doubles re-appeared !! there is something wrong with Sonos, in Emby app or in Sonos itself ...

corion 2 Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 I havn't specified : it's a Sonos Play 5 (first edition), with Sonos S1 Controler ; I've download the last Emby version (4.7.12.0) (no Sonos extension installed) and the problem remains the same : the first title is played once, then the second is played twice, the third is played once, the fourthh twice, and so on ... -------------------- I have just installed Sonos extension, and I get 3 lines for my equipment (without extension, I have the first only) : with the first item, it's the same as previously ; with the second one, it seems to work better (no double play), but the queue is not shown (but correctly played) !! : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corion 2 Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 Finaly, I have desinstalled Emby Server from Synology NAS, removed all the files and re-installed Emby, without Sonos Extension ; it seems to be correct, without double play, but I didn't have the time to test it completly ; to be followed ...

corion 2 Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 sorry, first test just now, and the second tracks of the first album I listening to is played twice, again ... It makes me crazy !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corion 2 Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 new tests today : 3 tracks well played, and ... stop ... I think refresh of the sonos state on Emby client (on andoid pad) is sometime disturbed, communication with Sonos is probably lost ; sometime, a track is played on Sonos, but not displayed on Emby ! sometime the timeline on Emby client stop progressing before the end, so next track is not send to Sonos (I think that is the way it works) ; I don't know excatly how DLNA works, here what I think : Emby client (on pad, or smartphone, ...) allows me to choose tracks in the music library, then sends a request to Emby Server (on NAS) to stream music to Sonos ; am I right ? what I don't know is (well, one thing I don't know ...) : is there a request for each track, or just a request for the whole queue ? could my problem be due to the communication between Sonos and Emby client (or emby server) ? my audio system is not very simple : sonos speaker and the pad are connected via a wifi repeater, because the original signal is not stable enough ; and the Sonos Play 5 speaker has to be completed with a bridge, mandatory in the first version of sonos ... all that could complicate diagnosis of my problem. thank you a lot to read all this and take interest of my problem, Emby seems to be the best application and I think I'm very close to succeed ... have a nice day.

corion 2 Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 it's me again ... I have remove the Sonos bridge, but the problem remains ; without Sonos Extension, I can see on Sonos App that Emby sends music track by track ; sometime the following track is send to Sonos, but Emby client keep on showing the previous track, and the timeline is out of range ; if I refresh Emby client and reconnect Sonos, the display becomes OK ; with Sonos extension, the playlist is send in one time to Sonos (I can see it on Sonos app), but Enby client shows an empty queue, just the current track ; of course, none of those two functionings is convenient ; have you got a clue for me ? something else : when playing without cast (local speaker), a little wave is show on the track icon in the queue to show witch track is played ; but when casting on Sonos, or other device, the wave doen't appear ; is that normal ?

corion 2 Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 I give up ! I think Sonos is the problem ; I can't succeed in using the Sonos application with my Synology NAS no more, I don't know why ; it worked (roughly) a few weeks ago, and the day after not (maybe because of a Synology update) ; and the communication between it and Emby seems to be not very stabled (see previous posts) ; so I decided to connect Sonos directly by wire to my pad (jack connector) ; I know, it's not a modern solution, the opposite of the wireless speaker use, but it works ; one day I will change for another connected player, but for the moment it makes the job, and I can keep on using Emby client on my pad (wich is almost only used for that) ; unless somebody find THE solution ...

Luke 37151 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Can you try playing using dlna and see how that compares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corion 2 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 I don't understand what you're proposing : try to read on Sonos the DLNA on the NAS ? I'm not sure Sonos 5-S1 has this function ... I don't see the native DLNA of the Synology but I can see on Sonos a source called "NAS Synology", based on the Emby DLNA (why this one and no other ?), I can see the content of the library, but impossible to read the tracks ! maybe a problem of rights on the NAS ? but I think parameters are good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
