Its fixed ! yay

Update: 8.2.14 is now the new stable version, 8.2.15 the new beta. 9.0.0 is close to be published as public testing version. Shaking out the last bugs...

I made these simple icons to make the interface easily legible for my parents. I'm posting in case anyone else may have use for them. Basic icons were from the Google fairy. Zip updated Jan 14, 2021. Contains all 255 icons. Flat Icon Set.zip

It is really cool that Emby has the ability to support multiple versions of the same movie. It would be nice to have a setting on the client side to allow the user to set which version should be selected by default. This could be as simple a user-entered string, or it could be a list of detected strings to choose from. It could allow multiple entries and it would choose them in the order entered. On the Kodi side, it would also be nice to get the "Choose the Best Version for Me" option that the Emby app has.

I have been using the finamp app for jellyfin and I think emby needs to create its own or even clone this as jellyfin comes from emby's code so should not be too hard I believe. The reason I am writing this is because emby needs a separate music app which me and others have been requesting for a long time and even though finamp is not complete it has been great for daily use compared to the full emby and jellyfin apps. Thanks

I will do it again, just to make sure.

I just took apart my network. It wasn't the sub interfaces. It still buffered when being routed. I put emby server on the same Subnet as the TV and there was NO BUFFERING!! very happy. However, now my server is not in a DMZ and I want to find why routing caused the lag?? The firewall is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-5005U CPU @ 2.00GHz 4 CPUs with 4MB RAM which should be fine. I'll keep troubleshooting. Thanks for your help.

Discovered that the chmod changes don't survive a reboot of the host, so I created /etc/rc.local with the following contents: #!/bin/bash chmod -R 777 /dev/dri Then marked it executable: sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local Also changed the yaml file a bit: - replaced the 2 /dev/dri... lines with a single /dev/dri -removed privileged - changed GID from 100 to 109 (render group on the host) I first tried Linux about 20 years ago and found it to be thoroughly unhelpful and non-intuitive, not much seems to have changed (Possible a little biased as I was a Support Escalation Engineer for Microsoft for 9 years ;)) Bought my Emby Premiere Lifetime key, I am thoroughly impressed with this software, nice job! docker-compose.yaml

Yes it's just a work around, still waiting on the solution my self.

Im using this script running in cron job, to clean it out. #!/bin/bash find /path/to/your/dir/transcoding-temp/* -mtime +1 -delete This command will delete all files in the specified directory and its subdirectories that were modified more than 1 day ago. Please note that this command is irreversible and will permanently delete the files.

thanks for the info. We'll take a look.

HI, yes it's something we can look at adding. Thanks.

Digging a little deeper, I see the following error with the same stream in an earlier log file (attached): 2023-11-23 17:55:55.895 Error Server: Error processing request *** Error Report *** Version: 4.8.0.60 Command line: /opt/emby-server/system/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /var/lib/emby -ffdetect /opt/emby-server/bin/ffdetect -ffmpeg /opt/emby-server/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /opt/emby-server/bin/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3 -updatepackage emby-server-deb_{version}_amd64.deb Operating system: Linux version 5.15.0-88-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-058) (gcc (Ubuntu 11.4.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.4.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.38) #98-Ubuntu Framework: .NET 6.0.20 OS/Process: x64/x64 Runtime: opt/emby-server/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 4 Data path: /var/lib/emby Application path: /opt/emby-server/system Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core.BadHttpRequestException: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core.BadHttpRequestException: Unexpected end of request content. at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core.Internal.Http.Http1ContentLengthMessageBody.ReadAsyncInternal(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.PoolingAsyncValueTaskMethodBuilder`1.StateMachineBox`1.System.Threading.Tasks.Sources.IValueTaskSource<TResult>.GetResult(Int16 token) at System.IO.Pipelines.PipeReader.CopyToAsyncCore[TStream](TStream destination, Func`4 writeAsync, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at ServiceStack.StreamExtensions.CopyToNewMemoryStreamAsync(Stream stream) in /home/runner/work/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/ServiceStack.Text/src/ServiceStack.Text/StreamExtensions.cs:line 687 at ServiceStack.Text.NetCoreMemory.DeserializeAsync(Stream stream, Type type, DeserializeStringSpanDelegate deserializer) in /home/runner/work/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/ServiceStack.Text/src/ServiceStack.Text/NetCoreMemory.cs:line 175 at Emby.Server.Implementations.Services.ServiceHandler.CreateRequest(HttpListenerHost host, IRequest httpReq, RestPath restPath) at Emby.Server.Implementations.Services.ServiceHandler.ProcessRequestAsync(HttpListenerHost httpHost, IServerApplicationHost appHost, IRequest httpReq, IResponse httpRes, IStreamHelper streamHelper, RestPath restPath, String responseContentType, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Server.Implementations.HttpServer.HttpListenerHost.RequestHandler(IRequest httpReq, ReadOnlyMemory`1 urlString, ReadOnlyMemory`1 localPath, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Source: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core TargetSite: Void Throw(Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core.Internal.Http.RequestRejectionReason) embyserver-63836380800.txt

Reviving this thread as I believe I'm seeing a similar issue. There was no user activity at the time that Emby reported a disk full error in the transcoding_temp directory. Log attached. After rebooting, >175GB of space was freed up by Emby. embyserver-63836396832.txt

I changed a few of the video settings on the Apple TV and it all seems to work now.....still testing

I just signed up and purchased for $99.00. To be honest, I haven't even downloaded or tested Emby yet, but P (for which I also have a lifetime license) has forgotten its roots and is pushing streaming and other spy on your friends watching choices nonsense. I'm running JF side-by-side with P, but just can't get used to the way JF does things. I hope that Emby works out and becomes my sole solution, but even if not, I'm happy to support the alternatives.

The decision really depends on a) How many simultaneous transcodes you require and b) What resolution those transcodes are A UHD630 is easily capable of 5-6 x 1080p transcodes, but it will struggle with 2 or more 4k transcodes. imo - Using an RTX3060 just for transcoding is a huge waste if your transcoding needs meet the criteria above, as you'll be using a fraction of the cards total features/capabilities - and of course, you'll be powering it all the time the PC is on - yes, it won't be pulling huge power for 3D (graphics) work, but it will still be consuming additional power.

Not sure if you mean in the guide or generally? This could help, just select the icon shown and a list should pop up in which you can select the details shown in the guide..

Did you bother to check the purchase page? It's on sale right not for $99.....but I suggest you buy as soon as possible as it may not be that price for long. Saving $20 is nice but believe me after using emby for 4 years, and owning premiere for 3....it is well worth the price at $119. Consider this, with premiere you get guide data as a perk and thus don't need schedules direct. SD is currently $35 a year so emby pays for itself at the regular price in a a year and a wee bit......but you get so much more with premiere that you are way ahead. The free guide data just makes the math look good. There is no better deal than lifetime premiere if this is one of your hobbies.....just can't be beat. Nothing out there compares. Grab it on sale, but if you miss it still buy it.....if you have a tuner card and cable service it pays for itself.

Good day, We done a maintenance update to our community forum, if you find any issue, please report it here. Thanks all. My best

Thank you so much! That, and disabling Cloudflare Proxy worked!

Emby Music Ideas In the beginning I want to say once again that I LOVE EMBY Because I love music same as movies. Emby now replaced all my Qnap apps, Plex, and maybe in the future even more? Some my ideas how to make Emby Music better (in my opinion): Music: Click on the TITLE to show on track the Playlist window - most of the times playlist is fixed position if you don’t scroll. I have 30k tracks, so it’s impossible for me to find actual playing song ———————————— Music: add “Play 100 Random Track” , “Top Rated”, “Never Player” - please, please, please ! Qnap made this very nice -> ————————— Settings -> Home Screen -> Music -> Default Screen: add: SONG from the drop menu. It’s my default place where I go. And maybe Favourite would be nice touch, as well ————— Add: Editing tab order Add: Favorite tab is missing ———— Add: Sorting by name, folder, date, time, size. Add: Visible Bpm, Size MB, Year info, when song plays. Add: 1-5 star rating for songs, would be nice. Add: Track number (!) Add: SEARCH box ! Please Add/Missing: Shuffle playlist - There is one Shuffle in the “Song” tab and when you press on the #tag. But missing on the actual player/playlist. Next to "loop/repeat" it's perfect place. ———— iOS Emby Music: I think me like many iPhone users love sliding across aps, photos, FB, Instagram, settings, when you actually don't have to press "BACK" button, or any other button but just slide... It would be amazing if we could slide "previous/next song", same as "volume up&down". ------ I'm not sure if it's even possible, but Emby it's more NAS tool. So maybe "Share this strack"? --------- Error/Bug: Missing "3 dots" for extra menu. I can't add song to favorite. ---------- Otherwise Emby "Music" is beyond what I could imagine Thank you Emby Team! Keep Going .

Ok, thanks for reply. It just annoying that I need to type long password each time I switch back from my wife profile

To set this in relation, I've created a short clip demonstrating the seek and skip capabilities of the WMC UI. In order for you to see what I'm doing, I 'm using a mouse to operate. It's a movie of almost three hours. Now see, how quickly and easily you can get from one end to the other: WmcUi_SkipAndSeek.mp4 So, I would say that before you have even figured out, which duration you want to enter for seeking, I'm already there (I mean: "you can already be there")

Thanks for following up.

Dear Softworkz, first of all: many thnx for your very professional responses: great ! I personally build+used MCE already since Windos XP MCE (since 2003-2005?) systems with a high WAF (Wife (and family) Acceptance Factor) factor, and standby-sleep mode, etc. has always been a special point, mostly a combination od the right motherboard/BIOS and BOOT setup possibilities there, but also a tool which somebody made: 'Mediacenter Standby Tool (MST) mst09091' years ago... Your solution seems to be a correct approach: Sleep: stopping playback and going into S4 sleep mode, using CEC to sleep your TV and audio devices as well Start: enabling BIOS to start, booting Windows, login (automatically with user+password if neccessary), startup Emby Theater WMC gui (automatically with user+password) and finally ending in the mainmenu Status: it's in my opinion not realistic to expect that Emby Theater WMC gui comes back on exactly the same point of the live-TV stream.....make it possible to choose a continue watching the same Live-TV channel (thus not the same live-TV program, which probably ended hours ago....). For Movies, TV-series, Video-audio, etc. which comes mostly from local storage, leave as it already is: return back to exactly the same point and continue. Thanks & best regards, Peter

Same here... my iOS clients don't even show up in the "Download to..." menu. I feel like this was working at one point.. no? Recently moved over from Plex, but no downloads to iOS is definitely a deal breaker. FWIW... Music downloads just fine... just doesn't download movies and TV shows. Thanks!

@rexerm - Thanks a lot for the test file. I can confirm the crash with QuickSync HW decoding. It doesn't happen with sw decoding neither with Nvidia decoding. We can submit this as a bug to Intel and hope that they might eventually fix it in their drivers. At the side of Emby, your options are as follows: Emby Release (4.6.x) You need to disable all Intel VC-1 decoding options (like you already did) Emby Beta (4.7.x) No need to do the above, because automatic fallback to software-transcoding is working properly and those ffmpeg zombie processes are no longer being created It's still advisable though, to disable Intel-VC1 decoding because this will allow you to still have hw accelerated en-coding and just the VC1 de-coding will be done in software/cpu.

Probably worth mentioning I have been using Yatse android app for playing music from emby until the emby app is improved (for music). Its interface isn't loading the web page so you can still browse items that are in the cahce and its alot quick to browse things. Your play data gets synced back to emby as it is playing from emby Download playlists etc Someone it also tags the downloaded music as "music" so stock music playing apps can find the files and play them. Even though the file is downloaded to the Android/data folder and the file is named in some hash format. I still prefer the emby app for video etc but for me yatse works better for music.

Speaking as one of the 1% scope screen enthusiasts, having the option to move the controls makes total sense. The problem is I would need a way to quickly toggle the option, because having the controls near the middle of a 16:9 video would be a little annoying to me, and I'd rather not go into the app settings every time I need to change it. A simple button press combo like [down-up-up] or [down-up-down-up] could do the trick. As for the fact that not many users need the option, well, especially since you yourself use a scope screen, I'm a little surprised you're not more sympathetic. Yes, you've already pointed to a functionally superior solution (anamorphic lens), but a lot of us scope users would rather not deal with the issues (cost, setup) that solution entails. This would be a big bone to throw us, and it would be further proof of Emby's commitment to its users. And in this case, the users in question are pretty much all extreme enthusiasts - I mean who else would have a scope screen?
