Unable to play anything?!

[LeighRogers 0]

Hi everyone.

I'm running Emby and Plex alongside each other, considering a transition from Plex to Emby... Was watching something yesterday evening, and without warning, the stream failed and I've been unable to play anything since. Not sure why it suddenly stopped. Neither plex nor emby now plays, so assume it's a server problem, theres some ffmpeg errors in emby logs..

My server is 4.5.4.0.
Running on Ubuntu 18.04LTS, via a Hetzner EV42-NVME dedicated server, and docker containers.

Server vainfo output:

Hi there, are you still having an issue with this? Are you using unionfs? We've seen reports of problems with that.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it.

I am using unionfs, yes.

I've been using it for about two years without problem.

Oddly, the problems resolved themselves without intervention yesterday afternoon sometime.

I still have no idea why it stopped working, or why it started again.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sadly, the problem has again returned, and I'm again not able to watch anything at all - getting the same errors as listed above.

I think I've figured out that something, somewhere is causing a google api limit ban for 12-24 hours.

I just now need to figure out what it is...

Let us know how you get on. Thanks.
