QuarkZ 7 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hello, I use the latest version of Emby and we often watch stuff when going to bed. I run everything off of Chrome. I checked that the option is enabled there too, but the playback never stops. Yesterday for example, my wife started watching around 8PM and it didn't stop until 5.30AM Am I missing something? Not sure if it's a compatibility issue or something else. I've never seen the are you still watching prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hi, it works just fine but you need to be completely idle for a few hours before it will kick in. Any move of the mouse or press of a button will set the timer back to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching Family guy episodes on a laptop, using Chrome. The computer doesn't go to sleep since the videos keep playing. I usually end up waking up in the middle of the night and stop it myself, even though it should have stopped long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long was it idle for without any movement of the mouse or pressing of any buttons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it go for 4 to 6 hours, looking at the logs, before I eventually wake up and turn it off myself. I know there's no movement as I set the laptop and from there it's not touched at all. It has never stopped by itself, I always had to stop it and even though sometimes my wife goes to bed several hours before me, when I go to bed, even 3 hours later, it's still running.

Luke 37064 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 @arrbee99 are you able to reproduce after three hours of idle inactivity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37064 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I'll give it another test but I haven't been able to reproduce. The key thing to remember is that any user input such as a touch of the mouse or key press will restart the timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
