does not reach the end of the download activity..reaches up to 97.1% and remains stationary

Hi, I think I would just be patient and give it time to finish. Maybe it's just taking a long time. I will move this posting into the topic for the plugin to ensure that the developer sees it . Thanks.

Give it time. You're likely throttled if you've hit it hard. 

Other thing to do if you want to try would be to disabled audio normalisation and rerun as it might be your system  wing hit hard by all the ffmpeg requests

@ReneSavyou all set pal?

Hi Radeon, unfortunately I have not solved the problem (I have not found where to remove the audio normalization), but I have done several tests, I have not added films or used emby so that it has all the resources available. The result is that the video download stops at 95% even for 10 hours... as if it encounters an error and goes into a loop... for audio downloads and video series everything is ok

@radeonHi, just a quick question or an idea, maybe you could put the movies in the plugin section into a collapsable object. actually i have to scroll down over 6K movies to get to the settings


Just an option for people with many movies.


Thanks for your great work

Audio normalisation is within the plugins options. Find the plugin and you'll have an option for audio normalisation. Turn it off, hit save and run up the plugin. Otherwise I'll need a debug log to see where it's stalling.

I disabled normalization and in 15 minutes it finished the process. So should I leave it disabled or do I occasionally try again to see if it works again? In the meantime, thanks for the support

It's not really required these days as the majority of themes are already normalised server side. It was an early days feature that some original users still use. If you're finding the volumes are ok then just leave it off. Glad you're sorted!

Feature Request:

An option to download songs to the theme-music subfolder
Theme Media Naming | Emby Documentation

I'm going to try get Radarr to make changes, but one thing I've started is enabling the renaming of movie files in Radarr. Annoyingly, if theme.mp3 is there, will it also rename that. The real solution would be to have Radarr add options to ignore certain folders/files when renaming, but I was thinking, until and if they make a change, if it was in the subfolder either it wouldn't rename it, or even if it did, it wouldn't matter because the file name rigid.

Ah, I didn't know this was now an option. I'm away from home for the next month or so and the internet is far from what I expected so might be a task for when I return but definitely something I'm happy to look at doing

@radeondidnt want to start a new thread, but if you’re looking at putting theme.mp3 in a sub folder could you also add an option to YTRAILERS to put trailers in a folder called “trailers”. Current naming is fine but same problem exists here as it does with themes. All works fine if you move the file to this subfolder

No rush. Something for me to look forward to.

Is that folder structure supported by emby server?

It is. For TV shows it's actually mandatory (the only way to have local TV show trailers).

This is the format I have them currently - personally keeping the movie name in the file name makes life easier for bulk manage my - both work fine from Emby perspective 

Ive just had a powershell script moving them for me. Would be nice for it to be integrated 

/Movies
   /Home Alone (1990)
     Home Alone (1990).mkv
     /trailers
       Home Alone (1990)-trailer.mp4
