I can't move the original file, so I created a new folder with the recommended path, and symlink-ed the files to the new folder. Emby now recognized all the new episodes. Thanks!

After a long, long scan everything fits now after all - very, very fine plugin - thank you very much to the creators.

Wow, that's a big walk-back of their announcement.

1) have you ever heard of the Just World Falicy? You are jumping to conclusions that cater to your biases instead of thinking things through. 2) The server has a function for updating the metadata. It is not "Scan Library Files". To update the metadata you use "Refresh Metadata" not "Scan Library Files". There is no circumstance in which scanning for new media files ought to change the metadata for preexisting files already known to the server. Claiming otherwise is just illogical. 3) Suspecting user error in a solid application would make sense, but EMBY isn't a solid application. It's buggy as all hell. EMBY identifies 30 second clips of video as 90 minute porn movies. It makes no effort to compare a media file's length to the length of the item EMBY says it is. It has the necessary links to do this, and it doesn't. It grabs the length of the item is THINKS is has, and places that in the metadata (it's on display for each item). "Oh look a 30 second commercial, and EMBY identifies it as David Lynch's Dune (must be a new version that's only 30 seconds long). EMBY does regularly manages to find and point to the correct entries on imdb,com and thetvdb.com (set in the metadata correctly) and good for that. But then EMBY ignores those links. Having found the right movie by the name (which is clear in the name of the file) EMBY goes on to set the name (Title, Original Title, Sort Title) to text that does not match anything. It also uses images that have nothing to do with the IDs it has for IMDB or thetvdb or any of the other sites it uses. On windows EMBY server occasionally changes the access privileges on media files such that it can no longer see the media files at all. There is a steady stream of complaints on file privilege issues; and this from a piece of software that has no business changing the privileges on those files ever. When it does this it will often lose the ability to write srt, nfo and bif files to the directory containing the media, so (having made it impossible EMBY to write files in those locations) it them puts them into AppData where it can still write data. EMBY can even make it so that my windows user (the one I installed EMBY with) cannot delete files that I put into a library subdirectory. I have had to use EMBY to delete those media files. EMBY can manage to do this so well that only a couple of files (of many) can be seen in a directory - and all of them were viewable the day before. There is absolutely no reason for EMBY server to screw around with file permissions, and yet it does.

That is a very interesting set up choice. Also, kudos on the amount of work you must put into your library.

Hello. I wish it would be possible to see the bit depth and sample when i play audiofiles. See attached images.

I'd really like to have 2 Factor Authentication added to the login screen. It's just this (optional) extra layer of security to help secure the server (which, especially if people use camera uploads) contains pretty private data. There are for every type of programming language quite a few libraries available, so implementation on a server shouldn't be too hard to realise

Library scan running tasks are lacking in their progress reporting. This is most apparent after a fresh install of Emby on a large library, particularly containing many TV episodes. The scan tasks seems to almost immediately skip to the high 80s percentile before it actually starts adding files to the library. The scan task has been running for 2 days straight and has gone up a few percentage points to 90.2% at this point. Would be much better if it reported a more accurate percentage. Alternatively, a count of the number of directories or files it's scanned vs remaining. Currently under 3.6.0.1-beta.

Maybe there could be an option to show only unwatched media in the "Because you watched..." and "Because you liked..." sections of the Suggestions Tab? Or is there already? Anyway, I'm using the web client via Firefox on a Windows 7 Ultimate machine...

Your choices are None, Chapter, and Interval. If you select Chapter they are create 5-minute chapter images unless the file has chapter intervals. They can only be stored in /metadata/library/xx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx folders for the item in a Chapters folder. If you select Interval then you have a choice to save bif with media or not. If no then saved in the /metadata/library/xx/xxxxxxxx folder.

installed dsm 7 ... let's see how it goes

Server-client connection is always direct, nothing gets routed. It's only the Web app that differs, whether it's loaded from your server installation or from Emby's servers. In either case, you are always connecting directly to your server.

Support Team, So here is the latest log and it appears that "iNotify" is not present for errors. I stopped the emby server, updated the settings for the task iNotify then executed. Re-started EMBY server waiting for start-up giving ten minutes for the logs to generate. Task Scheduler has completed a triggered task. Task: Inotify Fix for RTM Start time: Sat, 18 Feb 2023 10:38:11 GMT Stop time: Sat, 18 Feb 2023 10:38:11 GMT Current status: 0 (Normal) Standard output/error: fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 1048576 fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 4096 Let's see through out the day and later when I view the logs if this resolves the problem. Thank You Emby Team tvos embyserver.txt

I'll update the Wiki Dave. All working perfectly for me too since we(you..) wrote it - a fantastic plugin which I see the results of every time I play something

Hello Luke, I tested again and it is working. I did receive a few errors (error 401), but nothing seems wrong after some playing. Maybe the DLNA update 1.0.94 solved the issue? The only thing is that I cannot access the DLNA library from the Primare app itself. With the Minimserver there is no problem. But I can play my music with the Emby app. And that is good enough for me. I added the log file with dlna and debug logging. embyserver.txt

Désolé, je pense avoir trouvé. Le NAS était encore paramétré avec un ancien DNS de mon précédent FAI. Emby semble avoir accès aux bases de données dorénavant.

This right here! It is possible that the returned bitmaps will be only Arial text for the thumb image containing the item name. This will only happen when the images we need to create the custom thumb is not available in the library, and the Providers fail to give us the resource. Strangely enough, that exception should not have happened, but then it did...( because code reasons... obviously...). The reason the Series failed, was because of the custom image. Although I don't see this exception in my testing, I can see where it would happen, and in fact happen again. So, I deleted a bunch of metadata from my library to try and throw the same exception. It has not happened to me yet.... yet... Also, I have removed any realtime monitoring form the plugin. We no longer act on "Item_Added" event.

I will report back my findings. As for remote, I can setup a zoom session and have you walk my thru steps. Thank You tvos

I don't understand why some people suggest using: sh -c '(sleep 90 && echo 204800 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches)&' sh -c '(sleep 90 && echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances)&' Remove those two lines and replace them in your startup task with these two lines: sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576; sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances=4096; You can adjust the values as needed but those are what I'd suggest you start with.

The issues I see there is (like in ChatGPT) you can train the language model from the text input. Which is amazing! However, you end up with bad actors training their session of the bot in terrible ways. Then they go online, and anyone who doesn't understand even the basics of what the language model is doing, end up with their panties in a bunch. For example, this image was circulating earlier this week. For anyone who didn't know that the user had obviously trained the bot with key words in their conversation, prior to those questions in the image, would automatically give the chat bot bad press. People who didn't understand how gpt builds the dialog, would be up in arms. " Oh no it's the end of times!" What is infuriating, is that threads on reddit, are going to kill this amazing feet of technology before it even has a chance to become something absolutely incredible for everyone. After having moved to Edge browser, I am quite happy with the overall usefulness, and happy with the customizations available. Once you get rid of the ads, and kill the tracking. It's actually (dare I say...) better then Chrome... Yes I said it. I just wish they would give me access to the chat bot before they kill this amazing thing they have done. Edit: before the internet and people kill this amazing thing they have done.

Hello, I really like the "because you watch" and the "recently added" sections. But I think it could be great not to display the movies that are already watch by the user. Thanks

Hi, there's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

I realize that my situation is somewhat of a niche case However, as far as being a statistics plugin useful as something other than a vague overlook of what is available and watched, every user will have some discrepancies, that being a movie in both regular and 3d format, two resolutions, two languages etc.. meaning the statistics will no be acurate for anyone. This is however fine, as long as we are aware of it, and use the statistics plugin as a fun overview and a loose estimate of what is on the server.. Emby clearly knows the difference as it shows each movie by itself with iterations as drop down choices as you mentioned. This should mean that the data is available, and could potentionally be set as an option to view the data with or without duplicates of both series and movies. I know that would probably be alot of re-writing of code, and it might not be feasable in your situation. Just saying it could be a possibility. The "Embystat" server which is a standalone statistics server for emby in beta development does not treat double copies of series or movies as individual entrances, and although it is not flawless by any means, it shows it is possible to pull the data. Anyway, keep up the good work, it is still a great plugin, and I do really appreciate the work and effort you are doing. The user based statistics that shows what my familiy and friends are watching is a good indicator for me to what kind of content they like, and helps alot.

You can always try the stuff in the very first post. The latest was from 23rd Aug I think. You just add it to the Server > Settings > Custom css box. Don't forget to save. If you don't like it chuck it out again. I think that version is fairly up to date but is probably missing a few bits. Don't forget the notes there as well...its only really for the Dark theme, etc, etc. There's another Plex based theme in the css forum if you fancy that. Or other bits scattered about if you want to pick and choose. Only works in a browser, not apps.

yeah don't listen to that guy. he is obviously just having a bad day. there are no issues, just poor user config. and thats what this is. you havent followed the required naming conventions https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159110-tv-naming based on what you have done i woiuld imagine emby thinks you are showing it a movie. should be DownloadStation\Episodes\The Knockout (2023)\Season 1\The Knockout S01E01.ext and so on

Satellite internet.. I can understand that! Australia is a big Island with a lot of remote area's that don't have internet. I've also worked on fishing boats out in the middle of the southern ocean.. no internet there, I was younger then but as you say satellite internet has come a long way. As long as you've got Emby up and running, that's all that counts.

Did nothing and the problem disappeared

Users who direct play, or need transcoding? If transcoding, is it 4k? If it's 4k transcoding, will you be doing tonemapping? We could just tell you to get a 13700k with 64 gigs of ddr5 and a 2TB NVME for cache speed and write endurance, but that could be overkill. Do you need/want something low power? Since you're Italian, what are your power costs? Is it possible a laptop would actually be more reasonable power wise? (my i3 11th gen uses 3-10 watts vs 150+ for the desktop)

Yeah, your totally right! I should of looked there first. It has a MetroCase with no CD's but also it has no count like TV Series/Seasons which would be a nice option in the top right. I find the cover art settings confusing at times, thanks for your help.

That's the way to do it...

With a 90 second delay for each of those commands to increase the inotify settings it's possible the Emby server is starting before the values are set. Try restarting the Emby server after you verify the values. If the errors go away after the Emby restart then you might have to reduce or remove the delay for the inotify change or delay the Emby startup.

It moved to a core feature, so the server does them per you Library Markers settings.

This is normal for Movies that are split into parts with that naming scheme. Split video files (file stacking) Documentaries usually fall under TV as they are episode based.

Man, you don't wanna know, I've dug a hole to myself so deep there's just no getting out of it, save an hour or two of work, as it doesn't even resemble a hobby any more, every effin' day. Go figure.

All providers list that as a TV series: TVDB: https://thetvdb.com/series/history-of-the-eagles#general TMDB: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/74906-history-of-the-eagles OMDB: so you can't scrape them as movies. You can either fill metadata manually or put them in your TV shows library, rename accordingly (S01E01 and S01E02 or equivalent) upon which you'll se both episodes separately. If you're keen on having them as movies, enable NFO Saver in your TV show library prior scraping, append/adjust created nfos afterwards and put them back in Movie library.

Nope, for reasons twofold: 1) I'm neither keen to let Emby scrape anything and 2) My installation is completely offline, no Internet access, so even if I wanted to - couldn't, all data must be provided locally.

next gen plugin doesn't report any issues directly, however. script.module.requests plugin (which is a dependency) reports a MAJOR issue: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urllib3' This is a serious issue and is related to the Kodi installation. Nothing I could do, but something is really broken on you Kodi installation. Sorry to say, but I recommend a fresh installation.

I updated to 4.2.41 from 4.2.30 using the automated update (i couldn't tell there was one available). That's apparently the highest available version for this model. With 4.2.41 loaded I was able to install Emby and everything is back to normal.. Thanks!

And here we are - almost 6 years later . . tsk tsk

Hello everyone, one of my users has the same problem. iPad mini IOS 12.5.7. emby app hangs after launch. Reinstalling emby and ipdad didn't work. He then tried to go to emby via Safari/Chrome, not even that works for him anymore. All other devices work perfectly. @Luke is there anything new about the status and when can a fix be expected? Thanks very much

hit and miss. sometimes it only generate 3 items..not sure if its due to low processing power of rpi4b

Sorry for the necro post... I use ulttracc and I had a hard time getting the emby apps to work, so hopefully this helps for ppl that had the same issue I did and a search engine brought you here (like me) -its possible to get the emby app to work if you log into the web version. Go to the dashboard and it will display the remote wan access IP. It will say something like 123.456.789.012:8096 When you install emby from the ultra.cc control panel it will look like the pic below. Use the remote IP given on the emby dashboard with the port displayed on your ultracc control panel and it will allow you to log in using the app.

Hey, would love to see a feature I know from Plex and Subsonic / Madsonic. When I select a artist there is a section with top X tracks. Data source could be last FM for example. Furthermore the artist description would be nice. Thx and BR malo87
