pbzh1 1 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Hey guys, Maybe you can help. I have to emby servers running as LXC container. Both are on v 4.8.1.0. On one the media info is correctly shown, on the other, in following example exactly the same file, nothing is shown. Does someone have an idea what could cause that? Appreciate your help.

Luke 37113 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Hi, please try refreshing the metadata on it and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaku 795 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I can't verify this at the moment, but I believe the media info section requires both the user to be an admin and a UI configuration checkbox to be checked in order for it to display. Also, certain apps, like the Roku, won't display it, regardless of settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows for me with non-admin users. Does yours not show? 1 hour ago, roaku said: Also, certain apps, like the Roku, won't display it, regardless of settings. The Roku could and would display it if the "details layout" were to include it. We do have layouts/code developed for Roku to display the media information of the streams. Just needs to get updated to present time to match the web app in TV mode then get pushed into the Roku codebase. It is on our radar. @pbzh1If it doesn't show after refreshing the metadata it means ffprobe can't read the media file. The file itself is corrupt/missing parts or the location the file is stored on cannot be read (bad sectors/unmounted drive).

pbzh1 1 Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 Thanks guys for the fast reply, the library type is Home videos & photos, they are self made videos. @LukeI already refresh the Library a couple of times, no effect, could it be a permission issue? I already checked that directly on the linux server (/var/lib/emby) but maybe I missed something... @speechles all my files are mounted via cifs with the same user und mount settings. and they are playing fine on both servers. but I will double check that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the file path that isn't shown for non-admin users. The rest of the media info section displays for non-admin users. I remembered incorrectly. Thanks for the update on the Roku app. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. I didn't know it existed either. That is something nice to know. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
