nuentes 32 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I was perfectly happy with 4.7.11 on my Linux server. Until the Emby Android app suddenly stopped working with that version. So I updated to 4.8.3.0. I have a few tv shows that are scanned by Emby where every episode is STRM files. Emby will tell me that I have unwatched episodes, but when I click the episode, I get a screen that says "Content no longer available." I can click on the series, and the series loads just fine, showing all the seasons along with unwatched status. New unwatched episodes are even getting processed, but I'm unable to actually preview them in Emby. An example from the Continue Watching widget: If I Click the series: The current "season": If I click the unwatched episode (either from Continue Watching, or from the season list): This is the case for all of the STRM shows that I have (maybe 20). The episodes appear in all contexts, except for viewing the details for the episode itself. I believe this is also preventing Emby For Kodi Next Gen from scanning these files, as I've noticed that these are not syncing onto Kodi as well.

Luke 37066 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 OK please attach the emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 32 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 The logfile is way too big for pastebin, so I had to put it in google drive. There's an obscene amount of this log: "Info App: Sqlite: 284 - automatic index on itemlinksexcludeinheritedtagids(ItemId)" The click into the episode node occurred at: 2024-03-27 19:53:14.147.

Luke 37066 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hi there, how many Emby libraries have you created, and what folder paths did you add to each one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 32 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Thanks @Luke. These Libraries were pre-existing before the upgrade. I haven't changed anything about my libraries since maybe 2022. I have 4 total libraries, 2 are Movies, 2 are TV. Here are the TV ones: TV Library: /mnt/2TB_1/Completed/TV_Unwatched /mnt/8TB_1/TV_#-F /mnt/16TB_1/TV_G-Z Youtube Library: /mnt/2TB_1/Completed/Youtube The Youtube folder contains all of my STRM files, but also some local content. The local content within this library is working fine, it is just the STRM content where there is an issue. Everything was fine on 4.7.11. I made no changes, I simply upgraded. As an additional test, I copied one of my STRM series to, and copied it into my TV Library, and I am seeing the exact same issue. I zipped one of the STRM series, and I've attached it. Could you try unzipping it, and adding it to your own library? Oats Studios.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycedk 382 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hmmm what plugin is this. plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/ Can you enlighten me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8282 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Not sure how they worked in 4.7 as I tested in 4.7 and 4.8 and get the same no compatible stream error. As I have no idea how that url would work outside of custom coding the same way Emby reads it from an NFO file for trailers (<trailer>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=sWofeRh_53g</trailer>).  Devs would have to comment on how this would ever work for a STRM file. But all these items show up but are unplayable. Only thing I saw as some multi-versioning do to date naming scheme.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 32 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 I'm not trying to PLAY the media. I am trying to view the episode information. It is unplayable within Emby, and I know that. That's not what we're discussing. The STRM files play perfectly fine in Kodi. I just want Emby to deliver me the metadata/episode information.

nuentes 32 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 What the heck. That last screenshot is something I'm completely unable to access. I click on an Episode, and it brings me to the "Content no longer available" screen. But obviously you can open an episode and see metadata for the episode, like airdate/description/episodename/versions/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you test removing the Show from the library, doing a full scan to clear the database, then readd the Show, does that make any difference? Server log may help also.

Luke 37066 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 There's an error trying to read the contents of the strm. When this occurs, it is preventing the screen from displaying anything. This has been resolved for the upcoming 4.8.4 release. As others have said though, they won't be playable in Emby due to the strm files containing kodi plugin urls.

I'm aware they aren't playable within Emby, and that was never something I was trying to change or even discuss in this thread.
