Emby Theater for windows 10 2 Qs

Recommended Posts

1 If I switch display mode to from Auto to Desktop suddenly all text gets tiny

 

2 In TV Series, these are split into season, but if I click on the Season I dont see the episodes. If I click play all however then all episodes play. Further, in the ios app, which I have open simultaneously, from the same program / season, all the episodes show correctly

 

????

 

Thanks for any help

Correct, if you're on a desktop you're closer to the screen, right? Therefore shouldn't the text be smaller?

That's strange. They appear to be showing OK for me. @ can you reproduce this?

Here are screenshots

 

Screen1.png is the series in the desktop app

IMG_4697.jpg is the equivalent in the ios app

Screen2.png is what I get by clicking on Season 1 in the desktop app

Screen3.png is the same as Screen2, but in desktop mode with the tiny fonts and icons

Please note "play all" works correctly, so the app sees the episodes in the right order, it just doesn't display them

IMG_4698.jpg is the equivalent of Screen2 / Screen3 in the ios app, where the individual episodes show as expected (as they do if I log into the server locally).

 

Metadata etc to come later when I have a bit more time. Hope this helps as a start.

 

Cheers

 

PS don't forget as I mentioned elsewhere I'm running the server beta

Hi would be nice to get this fixed (see screenshots) and as mentioned everything looks fine on the server browser view and on the ios app just in Emby Theater it doesn't show correctly.

 

So anyway I was trying to get the metadata as requested but I couldn't find how to do this sorry. I can only see to set up a whole library to produce nfo files. Is this what I need to do? I had a quick look in the Metadata folder on the WD, but I can't see anything human usable there either. Is that where the nfo files would be created? Sorry for my ignorance.

 

Apart from this, and that the Samsung app isn't available in Germany yet, I'm really liking Emby so would be great to sort this out.

 

(By the way after today I'm away a while and can only access my stuff remotely from certain fixed ip addresses / locations, so if I'm not quick to answer over the next days, it doesn't mean I'm not committed to helping)

Still not seeing episodes. They show fine on my iphone just not on my laptop using Emby Theater 3.0.3 (server 3.6.50). See screen print (the play all button does work as expected btw). Also, I just this second noticed, I was only away for a day, and already the mpeg2 playback started to screw up. See image attached. A server restart would solve this but I blocked off access.

I'm very sorry the server and ffmpeg logs will have to wait about a week now, very sorry about that, but I will do that as soon as I can. For 1/10/18 22:55 UK time (reminder to myself)

If I click play all, they all play, as expected, and the next / previous buttons work as expected to jump between the episodes

It looks like the logs are configured to roll over every 4 days, so the relevant log is gone. But I can recreate the issues tonight hopefully and postlogs tomorrow.

Is there somewhere I can change 4 days to say 10 days?

Sorry for the long delay, I was offline for a few days. Having just updated the PR4100 to the latest beta .56:

- On the same client that wasn't working before, the episodes now display correctly with the series. Only two things changed, upgrading the server from 3.6.50 to 3.6.56, and that I am running the client in the LAN instead of WAN. Did you change something on the server between these two versions?

- However many old TV episodes still do the "green screen" display thing. These are all old interlaced PAL 25i TV episodes. So I attach the following, which I paranoid-ly edited to take out external IP addresses and filenames and a few other bits and bobs, but I hope are usable for you:

Ffmpeg log for a TV episode that does the green screen thing

Ffmpeg log for a (from my point of view) basically identical TV episode that plays OK

Server log from reboot to where I played both of those files

I have the following Transcoding options set among others:

Hardware Acceleration: VAAPI

Enable Hardware Encoding Yes

Transcoding Thread Count: Auto

(I have Plex on the same server and on the same files that don't work with Emby, Plex works fine but it doesn't have hardware acceleration enabled, I'll check out if that makes a difference later but I ran out of time for this right now)

Hope this helps, let me know if you need any more at all.

Many thanks for your support.

Hi Luke

 

One more thing just occurred to me. Are you "wrapping" Edge in Emby Theater for Windows? Because if you are, I know already that Edge has issues with some videos. I just thought I'd try playing a couple of my non-working videos on the Emby app on my iPhone and there they play just fine. So maybe the issue is with the client not the server.

Ok here is what i did

If I right click on the original mkv and play with windows media player, it plays fine

So i then on the emby server converted the file using the default ‘mobile’ profile

This creates an mp4 file with the same name in the same folder on the emby server

If I right click on the converted file and play with wmp, I get the green screen thing, as per the screenprint a few posts back

***Vlc also gives a ‘green screen’ on the converted mp4***

So definitely here is the problem, so I think the problem is with the transcode not the player

Maybe you can look at the logs I posted yesterday and some idea, where is the difference on the’problem files’?

Thanks

OK I made a 10-second clip to demonstrate the issue. Attached is Demo.mkv, the original file, and Demo - mobile.mp4, the sad result of letting Emby transcode it ;-)

Hopefully it's easily fixed.

PS I had to change the extensions on the files to upload them. Demo.log = Demo.mkv and Demo - mobile.log = Demo - mobile.mp4.

Demo.log

Demo - mobile.log
