chuga 4 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hi, Recently (maybe for the last few weeks) the movie status indicator does not work. While watching a movie if I hit "pause" and bring up the status screen, the progress bar shows 100% progress (all the way watched). The "start time" and "end time" are wrong....the "end time" looks more like the time the movie started....so after watching for a bit the "end time" is before the "start time". I have tried rebooting, etc. The version is "up to date". thanks chuga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuga 4 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hi. I tried refreshing on the movie title itself from within emby wmc client (using record button). This did not solve the issue. I also went into the server dashboard metadata manager and did "refresh" on the movie, then opened wmc emby and tried again with no luck. Currently I have a refresh running on the whole folder "kids movies" and will check to see if that works whenever it'd done. Any other ideas?

ebr 14935 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 When you look at the item in the web client detail page, what shows at the bottom for "Media Info"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuga 4 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Under media info it only has two lines: Container:mp4 Path \\tower\kids movies\finding nemo (2003).mp4 Just installed the server update. Still have the same issue....tried 4 other movies and they all have incorrect end times Edited May 13, 2015 by chuga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14935 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Under media info it only has two lines: Container:mp4 Path \\tower\kids movies\finding nemo (2003).mp4 That's your problem. We have no media information on the item so we have no idea how long it is. However, this should really only be an issue if you are streaming and that shouldn't be the case from MBC (unless you are remote). If you are not remote, make sure that the Windows user running MBC has access to that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuga 4 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks for the quick replies This is not remote. Using wmc on the same PC as emby server. Unraid server on same internal network I can exit wmc and access and browse the unraid shares with no issues via windows explorer. How do I generate the media information? I would imagine something like movie length is specific to each user (not from imdb for example) as dvd rips might be slightly different Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14935 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Post an MBC log from when you try to play one of these items to be sure it isn't streaming. The media info is gathered when the item is ingested or refreshed. If that isn't happening then there is some problem getting the information from those files.

chuga 4 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hi - here is a mbc log from when tried to refresh then play a movie MBClassic-13520155fbe690c4b804c6299bb1bb9eff869a8.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14935 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 First thing you need to do is update MBC. You are on a pretty old version - about four releases behind current. I'm not sure that will affect your issue though because we simply do not have any media info for that item. That means the server is not able to obtain it for some reason. This also means those items probably will not be able to stream to other clients as well. So we need to get to the bottom of why that is the case. Would need to see a log from the server when you refresh the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuga 4 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Hi I just opened and tried a refresh, and attached the server log. will try and update MBC - I thought it was autoupdating! thanks just checked - I have it set to autoupdate system level set to "release" and plugin set to "beta" do you suggest beta for system level? server-63567169705.txt Edited May 14, 2015 by chuga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14935 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Lots of errors trying to access paths as you've defined them in the server. You need to confirm those. Also invalid xml metadata files in with some of your items so we have no metadata on them. What item did you refresh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuga 4 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Finding nemo was last tried I'll check the paths Removed and readded the "kids movies" folder.. Path to the unraid folder is correct. I have always used MCM for metadata. Maybe a month ago I had it refreshing and redoing some metadata which could have renamed some movies. Could this relate to the problem? The path must be ok since the movie plays Edited May 15, 2015 by chuga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14935 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Okay, you need to refresh the item from the web client edit page using the "Advanced Refresh" and "Refresh All data" options. The act of changing the movie out from under us probably caused us to lose the media information so it needs to be re-gathered but the simple refresh from the client only re-fetches the metadata. Here are the file system errors I'm seeing: The directory name \\192.168.0.192\music is invalid. Also it looks like MCM may have put a bunch of bad xml files in with your movies because I see a bunch of invalid root element errors as well.

chuga 4 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 I tried the advanced refresh all with no luck Now I went into MCM and deleted all metadata. Enabled metadata fetch in emby and did a refresh all...letting it run to see if it does ok from scratch Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuga 4 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 still not working - after clearing out metadata in MCM, enabling 'download metadata' from Emby server and letting it run. tried an advanced refresh all again also.. see attached for recent server / client logs thanks server-63567360828.txt MBClassic-165201548d298bff59643108f737c999edcdb82.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14935 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Still seeing lots of errors with the inability to access the network locations you have defined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuga 4 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Odd in that the movies will still play so the network path is correct. Does emby have a way to clear metadata, cache etc and start from scratch? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuga 4 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi I uninstalled emby server and wmc client. manually delted the program data and user/appdata/roaming folders for both and then ran ccleaner for good measure. redownloaded and installed server and client from scratch. added just one smaller movie folder to see how it goes - still having some issues. see attached logs - for example the movie 'stranded' thanks server-63567457213.txt MBClassic-17520159d618558d744444cbf23db263c7846a6.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14935 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Looks like it is an incomplete DVD folder rip...? 2015-05-17 11:01:06.9036 Debug - App: Running FFProbeProvider for \\tower\movies\Drama\Stranded (2002) 2015-05-17 11:01:06.9316 Error - App: Error in ffprobe *** Error Report *** Version: 3.0.5607.2 Command line: C:\Users\chuga\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\system\MediaBrowser.ServerApplication.exe Operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Processor count: 2 64-Bit OS: False 64-Bit Process: False Program data path: C:\Users\chuga\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server Application Path: C:\Users\chuga\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\system\MediaBrowser.ServerApplication.exe Unable to find VTS IFO file System.IO.FileNotFoundException at DvdLib.Ifo.Dvd.ReadVTS(UInt16 vtsNum, List`1 allFiles) at DvdLib.Ifo.Dvd..ctor(String path) at MediaBrowser.Providers.MediaInfo.FFProbeVideoInfo.FetchFromDvdLib(Video item, IIsoMount mount) at MediaBrowser.Providers.MediaInfo.FFProbeVideoInfo.OnPreFetch(Video item, IIsoMount mount, BlurayDiscInfo blurayDiscInfo) at MediaBrowser.Providers.MediaInfo.FFProbeVideoInfo.<ProbeVideo>d__0`1.MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at MediaBrowser.Providers.Manager.MetadataService`2.<RunCustomProvider>d__4c.MoveNext() Or, if it isn't incomplete, then it could just be the fact that probing those disc formats for media info is not very reliable.
