Nginx Ubuntu DLNA play back in endless loop

[twinkybot 3]

Hello,

 

I moved from Apache to Nginx and now I am noticing a veriy weird behaviour in the playback. If I do a random mix on a genre or a mix on an artist the first track is played over and over.

I can hit next song but with the next song the same happens.

 

Can somebody give me a hint.

Here is my config

upstream php-handler {
user www-data;
server {
server {
        listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
        listen 443 ssl http2;
        server_name <sudomain>.<domain>;

        include /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf; #including key file etc.

		#the follwing lines have been commented
		#I wasn't sure if they even are necessary as I found these in an example config for nginx

		#resolver_timeout 5s;
		#ssl_stapling_verify on;
		#keepalive_timeout 180;

        add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;
        client_max_body_size 1024M;

        location / {
            # Send traffic to the backend
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8096;

            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Protocol $scheme;
            proxy_redirect off;

            # Send websocket data to the backend as well
            proxy_http_version 1.1;

Hi @@twinkybot, never heard of this before. @@pir8radio, have you seen this?

[mastrmind11 717]

While I don't use Emby for music, I can say that this behavior is not exhibited with video.

[pir8radio 1292]

@@twinkybot to be clear you went to an artist, then selected "INSTANT MIX" the first song played fine but when it was supposed to move to the second song the first played again?    My setup is not doing this, if this is what you are talking about.   Here is the config I have built:  https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/48236-setting-up-emby-behind-a-reverse-proxy-nginx/?p=457670

 

You are more than welcome to log into my server, and see if you have the same issue. Info found here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/19457-help-me-test-my-emby-server/?p=188745

 

Post your findings.  I'll have time later tomorrow to look over your config.

 

EDIT: I just noticed the title says "DLNA PLAYBACK" dlna would be on a local network only not going through the nginx reverse proxy.  So maybe you need to clear up what exactly you are doing to get this issue first then we can try to figure out whats going on?  I probably just misunderstood...

@@pir8radio Yes you are correct. Either "Instant Mix" (I didn't know the english term ) or random playback. For both the first song is played then instead of playing a new one it starts all over. I can like I said hit next song and this will jump to another one and play it endlessly over and over again.

 

To the DLNA topic:

Hm, chanign from Apache to Nginx is the only thing I did.

 

I have my laptop as a playback resouce I select my A/V receiver then I click either on random playback on an artist/genre or this Instant Mix, which leads to the described behaviour.

 

And as I said it worked just fine before switching to Nginx. So maybe I put the blame there wrongly.

[twinkybot 3]

So now I took your Congif and adapted mine accordingly.
Didn't help.
 
But while trying to figure out what happens at an end of an song. I clicked to the last couple seconds of the song and then instead of skipping to the next it repeated the ~5secs all over again
See attached log at ~11:42

One question more:

If I have a server config file for subdomain A and one for subdomain emby configured with

 

server {

   listen....

   ....

   server_name <subdomain A>.<main>

 

  location / {

   ....

  }

}

 

and

 

server {

   listen....

   ....

   server_name emby.<main>

 

  location / {

   ....

  }

}

 

 

Open the respectiv data / service?

But right now Emby highjacks both.

Post the actual chunks, you can change the domain name if you want.

@@Luke, I don't enable or use DLNA, sounds like he is using a dlna client and selecting the instant mix to get this issue.  Maybe test that?  I don't think nginx would have anything to do with DLNA though so maybe this is a different issue.

[Luke 37068]

what happens if you play an album?

[twinkybot 3]

Hi all,

 

yesterday I had one productiv free time

 

So to give you a bit more background. I had installed on Sunday a Mattermost server on the same machine. Everything worked fine on this day. Everything is accessed via subdomains e.g. <mattermost>.<main>.com, <emby>.<main>.com.

For this I created on certificat via Letsencrypt and converted this certificat containing Emby's domain into a pfx file.

 

On Monday the issue started as my server goes to sleep over night. After restart Mattermost was not reachable anymore. While working on this I listend to music and noticed above mentioned behaviour.

Now to get mattermost running I had a long chat with someone from their community.

In the end we did a fresh install of Mattermost to see if it will work, which it did. And after applying the certificates it broke again.

 

While I had the base configuration and was fiddling around with it, I wanted to listen to some music again and suddenly I noticed that Emby started working as it should!

 

Hopefully I will have time to test this next weekend again to see if there really is a connection.

Althoug I have to confess I cannot see any reason why this is happening.

[Luke 37068]

Thanks for the feedback.

[twinkybot 3]

Back again. I am havin the issue again. Now I noticed that it happens with the A/V receiver but not for example if I select from my Laptop my mobile phone as playback resource.

There it is working without the loop.

Can the profile of the A/V receiver be an issue?

[Luke 37068]

What model A/V receiver?

[twinkybot 3]

Aah sorry. As this is from my side a one to one relation I forgot. That from your side it is one to millions

 

It is the Marantz SR700.

[twinkybot 3]

And when pausing playback and restarting it, it jumps to the beginning. And trying to set a position also does not work. On mp3 files via DLNA.

[Luke 37068]

Ok, unfortunately I do not have a marantz for testing so I cannot personally work out what the issue is, but i have tested on all my testing devices and cannot reproduce the problem. I will keep testing though. Thanks.
