Emby on Mac randomly goes to black screen with single arrow


Recommended Posts

I have a Macbook Air M3 on Sequoia and am running whatever the latest version of the Emby app is on the app store. Lately it is randomly going to this black screen with a single back arrow when I am trying to watch something. The sound keeps playing. This happens with any video and happens on multiple different Emby servers, on a Synology NAS, on an Arch Linux machine, in a Docker container. Doesn't seem to matter. The arrow does nothing, I have to close the Emby app on the Mac and open it again, but the problem will happen within 10 minutes of restarting. I have Emby premiere. Don't think it is network issues because VLC will play files over SMB from the same NAS/servers all day long without issue.  Any ideas?

Looking at you logs, you need to fix permissions

I fixed those permission issues but they had nothing to do with the problem. They were not videos, not what i was watching, and only happened in the music folder on 1 device (a NAS).
