izoser 0 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I am new to emby just installed 3 days ago, all appears to be working well other than in progress status not working. Yep, the main reason I gave emby a try. If I stop at any point in a film or tv show emby/kodi marks it as watched. Same behavior on all clients. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? System: emby server 3.1.4.0– Mac OS x 10.8.5 emby setup- 1 Emby User-used by all clients Media Library setup: /Volumes/MediaVault1TV Shows 1 smb://macmini.local/mediavault1/TV Shows 1/ Sync user watch data to nfo’s for: I tried none and the user – same effect 3 Clients: LibreElec 7.95.1 bata kodi/emby app 2.3.38 thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izoser 0 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Thank you for the reply. I checked in the emby metadata manager>file/episode and did not locate anything for runtime. So I opened the .nfo in text edit and searched, no entry for <runtime> in any of my .nfo files. Back in emby metadata manager>file/episode, I selected refresh metadata>replace all metadata. Message: refresh queued. Waited for awhile and no runtime entry appears. Is this the way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1251 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 In the webinterface, browse to your episodes in your library not metadata manager. Is there some mediainfo with runtime under the episode synopsis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izoser 0 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 no runtime on anything in my library. under the synopsis is the date added and the is all. what to do now? i tried removing a .nfo and it was recreated in emby to no effect thank you for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izoser 0 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 o.k. by using Reports i was able to locate a movie and a tv show with a runtime. i played them in kodi stopped and the progress was saved and was there on my other clients. we are getting close now. so now how do i get the runtime in all my movies and tv shows into the nfo thanks for all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izoser 0 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) so i am guessing you use xml. can you telll my why, would this solve my problem. if so how would i switch thanks Edited January 28, 2017 by izoser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1251 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Xml will not make any difference. Emby is writing runtime to nfo and xml but is not reading them. The runtime is determined by probing the videos while scanning your library. You should upload a server log after a library scan and maybe also a sample file that doesn't work.

Vidman 589 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Embys media info is stored in embys database , it is determined by probing the actual file, not from any metadata. You need to refresh items that do not have a runtime shown in the items detail screen (or reports) so that emby will probe the file for these details. This is also required for better direct play/ transcoding in emby apps Edited January 28, 2017 by Vidman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izoser 0 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 thanks for the reply in emby metadata manager>file/episode, I selected refresh metadata>replace all metadata. Message: refresh queued. Waited for awhile and no runtime entry appears. is this the correct procedure to refresh - it did not appear to work any ideas what i have done wrong thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Sorry - but this is now a server problem and you will have better luck asking over in that section of the forum. @@Luke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36999 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 If you started a refresh and media info never showed up, then the best thing to do is please provide the information requested in how to report a problem. thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izoser 0 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 My apologies, I am not sure if I should continue posting here or in the OS X server thread? I decided to take drastic measures hoping for a better outcome. I started from scratch with a clean install – same result. Added 1 folder – A few files show runtime, maybe 1 in 20+, the rest do not. next I refreshed all metadata for the folder. No Go. Thought it was worth a try. Here is a new log Thank you server-63621358388.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
