Developing a standalone embystat server

December 30, 2019

The embystat.exe along with everything else you extracted from the zip (found here) should be in its own install folder wherever you want.

For example extract everything in the zip to C:/program files/embystat

So that you end up with C:/program files/embystat/embystat.exe

Then point the application path in the embystat service setup to that file.

Can you remove the old service cause when I moved the folder to the program file the path changed or can you change the path? Cause it just says paused.

Again in command prompt:

nssm remove embystat

Then re-create it again with the new path.

You would need to attach the log to see the details on why they failed.

I would be willing to bet that's another example of a currently known bug regarding duplicate keys being inserted into embystats db.

It's something that's being worked on, but development isn't super quick.

Personally with the current version, I'm seeing the sync throwing errors on half a dozen series, then claiming to fail to finish after around 3min. However once its stopped, the majority of statistics are still available.

As a temporary solution you could revert to an older release such as beta.13 until beta.15 is released and see how that goes.

Keep in mind embystat is a project seprate from emby being developed in the free time of one guy (a community member) that also works full time as a software dev.

Doing something for a living all week, then coming home to do it some more is never easy.

Gotta applaud your efforts @@reggi, we all appreciate it

Only error I am getting is for Series that does not have a TVDB id. Other then that Media sync takes about 7 minutes.

I have the same thing, I think it's a working progress, and that is part that is not working yet; I think... He'll get there, as the plugin used to have this part working.

Is there any place you want/need us to post or send you the log files. For me, on Debian v8 Netgear ReadyNAS 314, it pretty much worked for the day that I installed it, 3 days later I wanted to see if it was getting any data, and it seemed to be locked up. After rebooting the NAS, which I hadn't done in weeks, and 'systemctl stop embystat.service' and start, it would still not connect or update at least. Decided to wipe the folder and start from scratch again. It was able to do an update. 2 days have gone by, and nothing again; can't get stats even trying systemctl stop, start, status, and the status is good, but still won't show any stats. Also since I am running Emby 4.4.0.5 Beta, I stopped the service, but made sure before stopping it to do the small sync, check for new updates, database cleanup, and check emby connection to make sure they are talking. It was able to show the 4.4.0.5 version, but still won't get moving on the media sync. Sometimes it stalls at 0%, sometimes at 70%. Noticed at 70% it has already done the movies, and it tries to do the show episodes. At 0%, well, nothing shows on the screen job log side.

Let me know! We'll keep trying.

Debian x64 local install to /home/embystat folder, running from embystat.service

Equipment: Netgear ReadyNAS 314 NAS server; same that I run my Emby server Beta 4.4.0.5; previously 4.4.0.4

January 6, 2020

@@Alex3111, it is normal that nothing really "moves" in EmbyStat at the moment because the user statistics are still broken. So if you didn't add any new movies or episodes to Emby it will generate the same statistics every run.

Currently I'm not developing to the beta Emby API, meaning that I'm always running a bit behind on their new implementation for now. That could be an issue as well for your beta server.

If you want you can PM me your logs, create a github issue on https://github.com/mregni/EmbyStat/issues/new/choose or on gitter: https://gitter.im/EmbyStat/Lobby. It is indeed strange that the job hangs on 0% or 70% so that might be a bug

January 6, 2020

So, I created a first new beta version to see if I fixed the duplicate issue. Feel free to download the beta.15 version and rerun your sync job.

Complete list of fixes in this release:

- Fixed duplicate id error

- Merging duplicate shows in the same library

- Fixed Null ref exception in TVDB client

- Added "under construction image"

- Added paging to show overview page

I did notice that if you have over 1000 shows on Emby it can really slow down the show statistic calculations. It can take 20-30 minutes to calculate them

I will have to refactor the calculations some more to decrease the time to a more acceptable value.

January 6, 2020

It ran through all 358 series that I have with no issues, but then kicked back at the very end.
