metropical 29 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 random stalls in music playback. M4A or mp3. Though it does seem more often with M4A. In shuffle play, I'll see a spinning blue circle. if I select the next cut that has apparently stalled playback, it immediately plays back. server has 2 new WD5400 2 TB drives. the server app is on an '18 mini on Monterey and the drives in a cMP3,1 running High Sierra. The computers are connected with a 5p TPlink unmanaged switch. Server 4.8.3.0 Thanks embyserver log.txt ffmpeg-transcode-99598b63-8442-455c-8cbd-016dada97c11_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metropical 29 Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 I know it's in the emby log, but Firefox 124.0.1 is the.browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37118 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Hi, can you try Chrome to see how things compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metropical 29 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 honestly, I'd rather not. It's a memory hog in MacOS and is not very secure. So much so that one place I work restricts it from use. But I'll try it and I guess perhaps Safari, which has it's issues as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metropical 29 Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 (edited) tried Safari and Brave (which is a derivative of Chrome. Both failed. Chrome hasn't had a problem in around 3 hrs. What is the issue? Since any browser supports mp3 and m4a playback. and just as I wrote that, Chrome got stuck. argh! Edited April 9 by metropical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metropical 29 Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 (edited) I think these are the right logs for the Chrome experience yesterday. embyserver-63848304001.txt ffmpeg-transcode-d29cd84b-2471-4c98-88b7-6e3231fb7a3b_1.txt Edited April 10 by metropical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37118 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Quote Since any browser supports mp3 and m4a playback. Your log is alac though, in an m4a container. Yes the browsers support m4a as a container, but in order to direct play they also need to support the codec within the container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37118 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 So is it only a problem when transcoding is occuring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metropical 29 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 (edited) how would I know if it's transcoding only? sometimes it happens mid song, but mostly it happens transitioning to the next song. does that point to transcoding? is the an extension that can be added to Firefox or is it more that the files need to be true m4a not alac contained as m4a? in the future, should I be converting flac to Mpeg 4 AAC instead of alac?

metropical 29 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 or somehow point FFx to FFmpeg to transcode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metropical 29 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 since ALAC isn't supported by FFx, when I click the track that Emby stalls on, what makes it then play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT is converting the audio. I'm guessing this is only happening when transcoding is taking place, right? You can check that by having the server dashboard open while playing.
