Did this topic get resolved? I hadn't played with recording and so wasn't aware I was experiencing this same thing. and .. I did a quick search and found this, but there seemed not resolution here. So fiddling for a few seconds, I just resolved it for myself. I am using Emby in a container, and in my docker-compose file I set a host path to /recordings in my container. In the Emby config I have a Library "Recordings" - Mixed content /recordings and.. this was resulting in recordings being made. And the showed up on the main screen under the Library view. BUT.. in the Live TV menu, recordings was empty. I looked in the setup, Server->Live TV->Advanced and the Default recording folder setting was blank. I clicked the dropdown and only /recordings appeared. So I chose it. {Save} Then looked, and Boom! content shows on my Firestick and Webpage on the Live TV -> Recordings menu. So I set it back to blank by closing the blank row in the dropdown, and sure enough, no content showed again. So yeah, set it to the good value. So this is a bit interesting, but barely worth my continued attention as I resolved it in minutes.. it seems that the recording side of the Emby brain knew where to put new recordings, maybe because there was only one mixed content library named Recordings, and since the main page just shows libraries, the content was viewable, but the menu bar on Live TV looks specifically for the setting value. Fail to actually set it, and the menu choices shows blank. I don't know if that was the issue for others that experience this, there you go.

I am using Vivaldi, which is Chromium-based. I also tried Edge, but with the same results.

Yes, it stays there until it is downloaded or transferred to it's destination. A time limit would make sense, yes.

Weirdly I'm seeing that - for example: But the image isn't in that folder when I check (I'm looking for hidden files too). The log also contains the following line: Where I can see a resized image of the poster I just added.

That might be the theory but my reality is different. If there is anything I can do to helpful troubleshoot I’m open to suggestions. After a file is converted, does it stay present there until it’s actually downloaded? Could it be possible that users convert stuff then forgot / never fully complete the download, so it just stays there. It would be nice if there was an option to set a time limit for the conversation/ download. E.g if users convert a file, they have ‘x’ days to download it otherwise the job gets cancelled and the corresponding file in sync folder gets deleted.

If you have additional server log examples that we can review, then please attach them as well. Thanks.

ok...

i set up abs on my server and set up port forwarding and caddy as a reverse proxy to get https remote access. i added about 200 books in mp3 mpa and m4p formats to test with. i travel 35 to 45 min twice a day so this gives me a good chance to test. i used the web client on my google phone to listen to 2 books over the last week or so, i usually listen at x1.5 speed. so far the experience has been very good, the web client has remembered by playback positions and speed settings between play sessions and the display of books on the phone has been easy to use. the playback controls in the web client on the phone could be a little bigger but i manage. the playback experience has been at least as good as the stand alone phone app audio book player i was using in the past. plus the fact i have all my books available and manageable in a central place available on multiple devices now is great. so far its been a positive experience.

Hi thanks for this but I don’t see how this helps me. My sync folder is already mounted somewhere else. My problem is that my sync folder likes to balloon, the location of it is incidental.

Hi. Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares? Thanks.

I'm going to add some warnings to the shutdown/restart process that you may cause disruption to users who are currently playing.

Hi, in regards to the freezing issue, since you have a dedicated topic for it already, let's continue there in order to avoid having the same conversation in multiple places. Thanks !

Actually in this case, the server never sends back a 503 response because it's busy. The only reason it currently uses this response code is if the server is still in process of starting up. So the reason for this particular issue is that you restarted the server right in the middle of playback. Now I realize you opened this issue on May 4 and then posted a log from May 8. Maybe that's not the explanation for the issue you had on May 4, but it does explain May 8. Please try to avoid restarting the server in the middle of playback. If you have additional server log examples that we can review, then please attach them as well. Thanks.

2.1.10g

Version 4.9.0.18 looks good. Thanks!

Emby has two options database only and nfo with media. if you do not have nfo saver enabled everything only exists in database and changing that option requires a Refresh of some sort to trigger all the database info to be written to nfo files. Best options is enable nfo saver and Refresh Search for Missing. Note images are another story.

What version of the Emby app are you running?

OK can you install 4.8 and then the diagnostics plugin. The plugin has a method to alter our ffmpeg command line via search and replace. Let's try a few things and we should be able to get to the bottom of this. Please do a search and replace on this: -copypriorss:a:0 0 -fflags +discardcorruptts+fillwallclockdts And just replace it with empty. If that doesn't help, then try each of these individually, each time replacing them with empty: -reconnect_on_network_error 1 then -reconnect_on_http_error 5xx,4xx Please note all three of these search strings have a blank space at the beginning and no space at the end. Let's see if one of these three resolves it. Thanks.

What are you trying to do exactly?

HI, can you try Chrome for comparison purposes?

When media is transcoded off the emby server LAN (for example, on cellular or my sons house), after a minute or two of playing, there is an error in the transcoding logs: 16:35:05.313 Too many packets buffered for output stream 1:1. 16:35:05.352 Conversion failed! This seems like the same issue reported here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/59419-error-when-playing-movie/ My internet is VZ FiOS 500/500 and my son has VZ FiOS 300/300. About 20 miles total distance from each location. This happens with both Hardware and Software transcoding. Using Hardware, it happens around 2 minutes into playing something. With Software, around 5 minutes. Has there been any progress with resolving this in ffmpeg or allowing for overrides as suggested in the thread above? Attached transcode and server logs. Thanks... embyserver (2).txt ffmpeg-transcode-40d9e791-813c-40e0-9235-3042b40b8afa_1.txt

Just to update, I've updated several times, latest now to 4.8.6, and this is still what I encounter: no compatible streams.

Not seeing any error as the log shows the delete command sent twice. But at the same time cannot reproduce the issue.

Should season level extras appear in Specials/Season 0 and the Season they are applied in? Extras applied in Season 3 but appear in both 0 and 3. What is the official rule for episodes? Is it -featurette and/or subfoldered episodes with featurettes folder? Do all the same variables apply to the dash naming and subfolder episode level naming? Support for specials right next to the episode files: Doctor Who (1963) S01E01 - Episode Title-featurette.mp4 But further documentation will be needed for what will work against specific episode. Doctor Who (1963) S01E01 - Episode Title-Deleted Scenes.mp4 Or if nested episode structure will work. Doctor Who (1963)\Season 1\Doctor Who (1963) S01E01\Doctor Who (1963) S01E01.mkv Doctor Who (1963)\Season 1\Doctor Who (1963) S01E01\Extras\Deleted Scenes S01E01.mkv Along with documentation for multi-version episodes and extras.

Hello Luke, I have a folder that was a part of my Mainstream Movies library. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmRBjR1rdwLBmIAaaZFY61c7M5STpw?e=EFnXtm I use the minus sign to the right of the folder to remove it from the library. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmRBjR1rdwLBmIAb6rHA6-Xh9YpjFQ?e=gAex91 When prompted, I click Remove to confirm the removal. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmRBjR1rdwLBmIAcQlL6lB1Ndlu2kw?e=PxwNKi The folder disappears from the list and any associated movies are removed from my Mainstream Movies library. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmRBjR1rdwLBmIAd7Q85rO3rZZMY1w?e=D8fJwf When I leave settings and return later (even after restarting the server or rebooting the computer) the folder shows back up in the list in settings. https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmRBjR1rdwLBmIAaaZFY61c7M5STpw?e=EFnXtm It is more of an irritation than a real problem because nothing is added to the library listing, I would just like to get rid of the non-existent folders that are listed there. I am using Windows 11 Pro https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmRBjR1rdwLBmIAeTdSMS8bLmrePRw?e=N1jwFU and Emby Version 4.9.0.17 beta https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmRBjR1rdwLBmIAfV3IFj_n6bMuqqA?e=PNI0YG My Emby log is attached. embyserver.txt
