Without specific example and server and/or ffpmpeg logs it'd be anyone's guess but it sounds like your Roku's transcoding for some reason (audio? subtitles?) and your server's lacking muscle. Did you check SFN during playback or server Dashboard whether those items are DirectPlaying or Transcoding? You can also attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue.

The mouse gets hidden when it idles after several seconds. We should adjust that to not happen when it's over a button.

Hello Beachhead, ** This is an auto reply ** Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you. It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread: Thank you. Emby Team

Hello, I've just discovered emby after finally deciding to get serious about archiving my films and making them easily viewable. I have a Roku Ultra 2020 model (4660X2), which has served me well. It goes into a Yamaha RX-V485 receiver and then into a Sony X90CL TV. The Sony TV has a Android TV OS. I did a very quick and simple setup with Emby, just installed it, told it where my files were and was instantly pretty impressed on how it handles things. If I view it on the Sony TV, it looks better, and can play the 4k files back (specifically large 4k high bitrate) much easier and cleaner than the Roku, which plays them back at a lower bitrate and starts to choke if I force it higher, despite the Roku being hardwired and the TV being on WiFi. So my question is, should I be using the TV to view the files, my Roku, or is another device better? I had hoped to use my Roku since it's free to use Emby, but maybe it's too old at this point? At the same time, since this is going over the network it's not playing back my files at their native bitrate, is there a preferred solution, direct usb connection with the hard drive? As I mentioned i'm new to this, my prior solution to viewing digital media not on disc was just to put it on a usb drive and plug it into my Roku and watch it direct, which just isn't as convenient as what Emby provides. Thanks!

so far has not happened again..its random

@appasIt seems that @Luke is already seeing a problem with high memory consumption on the EMBY server. for playing m3u files. I already left it for my Emby server logs

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?
