Ahole 3 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 So my setup is Emby on my SYnology NAS Sonarr and Radarr running in Container Manager on the NAS Lately I have had a lot of situations where movies downloaded with Radarr won’t play on Emby — the usual error is “to many errors” on my Nvidia Shield , but the file often wont play on my iphone either. The fix for these files has been to re download them OR to re-encode with a multiplexer. Does anyone routinely run any library optimizer (like the UnManiac project or something similar) that is capable of automatically fixing the files so I don’t have to get the wife “eye roll” when the file won’t play?

Luke 37099 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahole 3 Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Hey thanks for the reply -- I can try to send examples (I have had 3 in one week) --- but after looking at some otehr threads I pretty much figured it was not an Emby issue , but more the file issue. I had one that I correted by just running the file through the MKVToolNx that one of you recommended in another thread. The other one , I just re-downloaded from another source. The one I fixed with MKVToolNx actually was playable before fixing with VLC Player, but not Emby. To help Emby people I will try to find examples But for me , since it keeps happening --- I'm more interested in some sort of automated post download processing so it's just not an issue in the future, because I love my current setup with Sonarr and Radarr and Emby.

Ahole 3 Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 5 hours ago, Luke said: OK thanks for the update. @LukeI have found a new mkv file (Extraction 2) that creates the same errors that I have mentioned -- does so on web player, MacOS app, iOS app, and the android app on Shield. Plays fine with VLC. I am including links to a folder with the logs and a link to the media as well in case that would help Logs https://gofile.me/74OCD/FCqPtnukn Media https://gofile.me/74OCD/9H8bsmmqw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
