Shut down Emby then open \AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server and you will see system.old, that should be 4.8.1. Just rename system folder to something else and delete the .old from system.old then start Emby. Immediately uncheck automatic updates and save settings then open \AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata and delete the updates folder, now it will be safe to restart Emby without it forcing 4.8.3. Thank you, @viking19. Before I do any of that, I confirmed that the .old folder is indeed v4.8.1.0 & the EmbyServer.exe is. I will do this after I return in an hour or so. That will/should at least get my downloads working properly. Hopefully there will be a better/permanent fix soon. Al. G2J! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlHayes 2 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 No, that did not work. I'm not sure which build actually worked for proper genre download since I've always been using that feature & Emby would just automatically download songs when I would move them to my library folder. Now I just have a strange hybrid version somewhere between v4.8.1.0 & v4.8.3.0. My android app sees the genre category pre-facelift (no subcategories within genre) even though it still would try & download many extra songs & TV Windows computer using Chrome would see the subcategories! So I updated to v4.8.3.0 & no change...my android app still won't see the subcategories even after rebooting, uninstalling, & reinstalling the app. Also, the only way I can download a genre (overinflated) to my phone is to restart the server after I make sure that it is in my downloads page. Otherwise it just sits there with "Ready to Transfer" under the number of items. Any more ideas...or do I have to wait for more people to notice this problem & it gets fixed? Al.

Luke 37094 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Hi, we've identified and resolved an issue where some incorrect items can end up being played when playing or shuffling a genre. For those seeing a crash or slow performance when playing or shuffling a genre, I think the fix will help with that as well. This will be on the beta channel in a day or two and then backported to the next 4.8.X maintenance release next week. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicpa 559 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Hi @Luke FYI, Below is the header for Genre->Type -> Albums -> Show All If I click the Shuffle Button ... The Client (Store: Emby Theater - Release Server) (Web - Beta .14) crashes the Emby Server (it becomes unresponsive, can't shutdown or restart) it requires a machine reboot. Not sure what is going on. Attached are the last three server logs from my test machine. My test run was run this morning embyserver.txtembyserver-63849600000.txtembyserver-63849635001.txt I will test again when the changes are pushed to beta -Vicpa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicpa 559 Posted Friday at 03:33 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:33 PM Hi @Luke Testing update for .15 and more context. I tested Three Shuffle Buttons on a genre type. Release and .15 still produce the same results. The first two work see below. The Main/Visible below works as expected Content appears correct (I think this one always was correct ?) Click on artists in above view The shuffle button in the screen below works. The content of this view is incorrect by the definition I use as incorrect artists are included. Click on Albums from main Screen. The Shuffle button produces a hard failure on both release and .15 ( I realize it a pain if you can't reproduce) It is odd because the expected result is the same as the main First Shuffle unless it is trying to produce a playlist of random grouping of albums of in the genre. You have to manually end the task. Anyway I would normally use the first shuffle - Random Tracks from the selected genre -vicpa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking19 24 Posted Friday at 04:36 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:36 PM Server 4.9.0.15 is still broken, this is with the web browser on the server PC. 1: Music->Genre->Context Menu->Shuffle or Play : Correct genre with fast playlist creation 2: Music->Genre->Artists->Shuffle or Play : Wrong genres with fast playlist creation 3: Music->Genre->Albums->Shuffle or Play : Correct genre with very slow playlist creation (135 seconds), high cpu usage during that time 4: Music->Genre->Songs->Shuffle or Play : Correct genre with slow playlist creation (30 seconds), high cpu usage during that time On android mobile 1 and 2 are the same but 2 and 3 show high server cpu but eventually don't play at all. On first install and after one restart it seemed to work correctly, however after another restart it's broken again. I believe I saw this behaviour with 4.8.x which is why I was misled into thinking it was fixed earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicpa 559 Posted Friday at 08:26 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:26 PM (edited) Hi I agree with @viking19 report My Opinion 3) Album Shuffle -- 135 seconds (something is not right) -vicpa BTW an acceptable time for 1-4 should be 3-5 seconds at the max IMO Edited Friday at 08:28 PM by Vicpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicpa 559 Posted Friday at 08:44 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:44 PM FYI The Artist view in Genre returns incorrect data IMO (The tags are correct so don't even go there ) This is part of my "JAZZ" artists As long as Ludwig shows up it is incorrect, IMO -vicpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a similar result with my BLUES Genre Artists that show Brian Wilson (formally of The Beach Boys) in the list because he has a Composer credit on one of my Fleetwood Mac Blues tagged Albums. So, possibly not a case of incorrect tags, but of an extensively and correctly tagged music library at Composer level? In some areas, Emby treats Album Artists, Artists and Composers at the same level, despite the three being distinctly different tag entities. (You would know this anyway.) It happens with Song selection and filtering, and now also with Genres. There is another topic about this here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/98180-menu-option-genres-for-music-music-videos-and-audiobook-libraries-displays-album-view-change-to-artist-view/page/2/ scroll down to: @ginjaninja Quote "it seems artist genres can come from songs they are tagged composer or writer on should composer/writer credits contribute to an artist's genres?....not sure" Hopefully some enhanced filtering/separation of the three entities will stop 'polluting/diluting' what many (most?) people expect to see.

I have been ripping tagging and listening to music on my Squeezeboxes for about 24 years.

So from my perspective More of a rock, jazz and blues guy.. It's all in what the server does with the tags. The example I am using demonstrates my point. Just cause Ludwig composed a piece, that a Jazz Artist did a version of in 2011, Doesn't Really make Ludwig a "Jazz Artist" or does it ? For that matter why is Ludwig ever considered an "Artist" at all. -vicpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, 3 and 4 still exist and the length of the delay is related to the number of albums or songs. On android mobile v3.3.77 numbers 3 and 4 are still broken with high server cpu usage but eventually don't play at all. Only genres with a low number of albums or songs will play.

Not the case Ludwig has only "Composer" credits in my Library, no artist credits of any kind or performer credits for that mater. BTW My library is fully tagged by Picard with the MBrainz tags I am sure I have errors in my tags, but not one that involves Ludwig -vicpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicpa 559 Posted Saturday at 05:10 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:10 PM Just so we can rule out tags. Above is the Picard View of the embedded tags of the track that makes Ludwig a "Jazz Artist" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1532 Posted Saturday at 07:51 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:51 PM So you feel that having Ludwig named on a track whose genre is Jazz shouldn't link him to the Jazz genre? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
