wilberfan 0 Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Brand-new Emby install on a brand-new Arch Linux box. I have a Chromecast on my Vizio monitor. I'm only seeing a Chromecast option on the Emby app under Android--both the Server and a laptop only have an option that says, "My Device/Emby". Is there a setting I've missed? Is there an option to hardwire the server to the Vizio (ie, HDMI cable) so as to not have to play stuff via the Chromecast?
wilberfan 0 Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 What's wrong with Chromecast? Well, maybe nothing...I'm not sure yet. Can it handle 1080p stuff over a 5Ghz wireless? Also, my missing Chromecast option was a browser issue. (Duh.)
Luke 40063 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Posted July 23, 2019 Well, maybe nothing...I'm not sure yet. Can it handle 1080p stuff over a 5Ghz wireless? Yes that should be fine.
EatPrilosec 20 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) will we be getting the 4.2 update in the official repo soon? 4.1.1.0 gave me a few problems im not willing to go back to and the 4.3 beta from aur is exiting every day or two on its own (with no error code-- almost like im running `systemctl stop emby-server` which im not) i dont have time to find out why currently Edit: i just realized the beta updated to 4.3.0.1 only yesterday, so i guess it was 4.2.0.40 crashing every few days. running the 4.3 beta right now will report back if it exits again Edited August 5, 2019 by NErdgOd56

alucryd 239 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 4.2.0.40 has been in the official repositories for about a week, no issues to report here.
EatPrilosec 20 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 4.2.0.40 has been in the official repositories for about a week, no issues to report here. ok, i think i actually had a mirror problem or something. i refreshed the mirror list and switched back to worldwide in pamac and got 302 updates all the sudden. sorry for the thread clutter lol
sekondchakra 6 Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Is it possible to move all of the Emby "system" data (ie, everything in /var/lib/emby) to somewhere else...? I think I would prefer not to fill up my / partition if I can avoid it. I've changed the cache to /storage/embycache/ via the GUI already... Edited August 13, 2019 by sekondchakra

No, but if you change the cache, metadata and transcoding temp folders then the remaining folders shouldn't use too much space.
sekondchakra 6 Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 No, but if you change the cache, metadata and transcoding temp folders then the remaining folders shouldn't use too much space. Do I have to manually do something to move the cache--other than specify the new location in Advanced? Nothing has populated yet. Does it take awhile on it's own?

Does it take awhile on it's own? Nothing gets moved. You can move the contents of the previous folder if you like, but you don't need to.
sekondchakra 6 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) How could a log file end up being over 300 MBs in size?? I had some yesterday that were even larger. (I had a total of 2.5 GBs of logfiles!) I just opened the largest one (below) (It took 3 or 4 minutes to load completely. : 348,360 lines of entries Here's a line chosen at random: 2019-10-02 19:59:50.412 Info HttpServer: HTTP Response 200 to 192.168.1.107.

Luke 40063 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 Hi, it depends on what features you have enabled. We'd have to look at an example. Thanks.
sekondchakra 6 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I'm willing to show you whatever/wherever I can... What features would you be interested in, particularly? I noticed that when the logs are "rotated", the large (323.5 MB) .txt file wasn't deleted, there was just a NEW one created. The new one is already 286.8 MB itself...
Luke 40063 Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 Can we please look at an example? thanks.
sekondchakra 6 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Can we please look at an example? thanks. How much of the log do you want to see? I'm assuming most paste sites have a size limit? The current log is 700 MB. Edited October 7, 2019 by sekondchakra
Luke 40063 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Posted October 7, 2019 How much of the log do you want to see? I'm assuming most paste sites have a size limit? The current log is 700 MB. Ideally all of it since the issue you're reporting is log size. What about something like dropbox or google drive?
sekondchakra 6 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 OK. Here's the 700 MB file from yesterday. Thanks!
Luke 40063 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Posted October 7, 2019 OK. Here's the 700 MB file from yesterday. Thanks! So Roku is playing back the whole time. Is that correct?
sekondchakra 6 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) So Roku is playing back the whole time. Is that correct? In a practical sense, yes. (I might pause occasionally. Stop between programs and take a leak, get something to drink, etc.) By the way, 'm using the Roku Emby Beta app (channel?) and the latest Emby Beta server (on Arch Linux).

sekondchakra 6 Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 In addition to my gi-normous logfiles (above), I've started having an issue with the Roku Emby (beta) channel (app?) crashing/quitting after deleting a local video file and trying to return to the Emby dashboard via the 'back' button on the Roku remote. I don't know if it's the Roku, the emby-server, or the Emby app/channel--but it started happening a couple of server beta releases ago.

This seems to have been resolved a few iterations ago, but just returned after updating to v4.3.0.26 tonight.
Luke 40063 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Posted November 25, 2019 Please attach the emby server log. Thanks.
sekondchakra 6 Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Please attach the emby server log. Thanks. You got it, boss. Emby Server Log 11/24/19
