I would go for the i3-12100T & UHD730 IGPU for server. Better GPU and more power efficient CPU

This would be a huge plus! I am currently using another service for my music and everything for Emby seems to work correctly, but it is lacking this feature. I too hope it’s added soon!

bad windows update Something must have changed, since yesterday, only you know. Everything does not come out of nothing....

Thank you for the ideas but this is happening on every single movie in my library, and they are all different kinds of quality. I was able to play all of these movies locally just yesterday, so something must have changed. EDIT: One thing I should mention - I moved my library to a new drive (from C to D:) and that's when this issue began. Brave is able to play Barry Lyndon fine on my phone...

From a browser standpoint you will not get DTS in any of them that I know of and will have limited AC3 support out there. There are a few test sites listed here as every browser will have its own limitations. You would have better luck with Emby Theater for Windows. Emby Theater - Emby

I believe DTS-HD may not be supported at all. I am not sure. I never use it. Your encoding is set apparently to SW only and the bit rate for full size Barry Lyndon looks to be 32 Mbps, which is quite high to expect software to handle transcoding. My guess is you have transcoding set to automatically start when a bitrate is too high for reasonable streaming online. Emby appears to start transcoding and gets some errors with the extra embedded subtitles, probably has problems with DTS-HD and dealing with the high bit rate alltogether, either makes transcoding so slow it looks broken or some other error result. I cannot tell from the log, because I also don't understand all the results. Playing back on 3rd party software, just plays the file directly and probably the software has some method to convert or play the DTS HD audio. I didn't think software on workstations can do this audio at all. The 3rd party player also probably skips dealing with converting any subtitles. It's not a fair test to playback anything with a 3rd party player. Emby when set to transcode needs to convert so everyone logging in, can watch. Transcoding works efficiently when the media files are without troublesome audio codecs, embedded subtitles that are tagged as active and not have such huge bandwidths, especially if you are only using software to transcode. In my opinion, the media is wrong for streaming. Ideally, it needs to be first converted to a copy that has less issues. There is no commercial site online, that would ever try to serve such a direct transferred file from blu-ray. The media would be first quality converted to streaming friendly, lower bandwidth with video and audio that don't actually need transcoding, at all for any user. That would be h.264 and AAC audio wrapped in .mp4 media file. This could make a copy 1080P copy at 2 GB, streaming at 2.4 Mbps, or about 13.3 times smaller than your media file. Is the 1080P quality the same? No, but if the encoding is done separately, at a very high setting, it can look quite good at this slower bit rate. How does this compare to a transcoded version which needs to use higher bitrates for immediate real time transcoding? Have a look at your time code 9:00 minutes in your copy to see how a 2.4 MB slow 3rd party encoding compares. The original is film and shot primarily with a very large aperature Leica Noctulux lens. Grain and shallow depth of field is part of that film. Someone else can probably read the log better than I can. Hope that makes some sense and helps.

Can you try with a file with AC3 5.1 audio ? Audio: dts (DTS-HD MA), 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), s32p (24 bit) is not great with browsers. 10:54:21.168 Stream mapping: 10:54:21.168 Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (copy) 10:54:21.168 Stream #0:2 -> #0:1 (dts (dca) -> mp3 (libmp3lame)) The audio is being converted to mp3.

This step I did not realize and now have implemented. I will report back if this was the fix I needed. Thx

Nailed it, thank you. All fixed.

You can try this: SELECT distinct itemname FROM PlaybackActivity where itemtype = 'Episode' and datecreated >= datetime('now','-6 months') order by 1

Hi, I noticed in your log that you have both IP4 and IP6 IP addresses but only have an IP4 gateway. There is no gateway address showing for IP6. If you can, do a ping and also a trace route to your domain and see if it tries to use the IP6 address. It's possible the app is trying to connect using IP6 while the browser uses the IP4 address. If that's the case, you need to choose one of the IP6 addresses you get from your provider and assign it to your Emby Server, then open a port on your firewall. It's similar to IP4 port forwarding except there is no NAT. With IP6 you don't "forward" you just "allow" it through your firewall/router. You also need to make sure your server has an IP6 gateway address setup. Another way you could quickly test this would be to remove IP6 from the device/computer being used so it will only use IP4. You can see what public IP4 and IP6 addresses are being used by going to https://www.whatismyip.com/ on your Emby Server assuming you fix the IP6 gateway issue. PS I'm not saying this is what's happening, but it would explain this and isn't too hard to test. Carlo

Sorry to keep posting updates but I wanted to update something that was somewhat inaccurate earlier. I have found when the STRM files show up via next-gen dynamic libraries they work great. But they have proven to be extremely inconsistent. For example, if I open them under "A-Z Movies," they have showed up every single time without fail. But under "Random Items," it's a total crap shoot whether they will show at all. I would estimate they show up less than 30% of the time. When they do show up it's awesome but it is completely unreliable. And so far they have not showed up under "Movies" at all yet. So I just wanted to throw that out as I would love to get my radio stations working again. And if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. Thanks.

I will reboot the server and try again. I know that debugging is turned on and RTM is turned on.

Yes, my current (new) win 11 connection type is "public." Can't remember the previous setting anymore, but am sure your logic is correct. Thanks again for being an active community. It's one (of MANY) reasons why I continue to love using Emby.

Depends on the method used but since Emby added Image Size yes most old methods may not work anymore. And yes as mentioned css will only apply to the web client. But this topic works also but as mentioned you have to verify text encoding if you are going to copy and paste.

I just noticed that the above code makes all wide thumbnails the same size. So, if you want to only do the menu and your menu is the first row, you can use this code: .section0.emby-scrollbuttons-scroller > div.padded-top-focusscale.padded-bottom-focusscale.padded-left.padded-left-page.padded-right.emby-scroller.scrollX.hiddenScrollX.scrollFrameX.flex-direction-row > div > div > div > div.cardText.cardText-first.cardText-first-padded { --user-cards-size-adjust: 0; } Change .section0 to .section1 for the second section, etc. (All the latest rows are one section.) Of course, this also means, that if some user puts the menu on a different section, the size adjustment may fail. This only works for wide thumbnails. So, if section0 are tall poster thumbnails, they will not change size. Anyway, it's a hack. Hopefully, it can work for some setups. I like changing the titles slightly so you know they are menus. Here is code that does that for only the 1st and 6th section. I set the My Media menus again at the bottom of the home page for ease of use. I might be the only one that does that... Ha. This code changes titles for the menus only.... .section0.emby-scrollbuttons-scroller > div.padded-top-focusscale.padded-bottom-focusscale.padded-left.padded-left-page.padded-right.emby-scroller.scrollX.hiddenScrollX.scrollFrameX.flex-direction-row > div > div > div > div.cardText.cardText-first.cardText-first-padded, .section5.emby-scrollbuttons-scroller > div.padded-top-focusscale.padded-bottom-focusscale.padded-left.padded-left-page.padded-right.emby-scroller.scrollX.hiddenScrollX.scrollFrameX.flex-direction-row > div > div > div > div.cardText.cardText-first.cardText-first-padded { background-color: #0b3f6c; border-bottom:3px solid #304531; letter-spacing: 0.2em; }

oh it's THIS the embedded subs are flagged as default, my external subs are not, because I've named them the way the documentation explains, and the way every forum post I've seen on it explains as well. this is the first time I've seen anything that mentions putting "default" in the name as well

Thanks for letting us know. Myself (and others?) may still be able to help later on whenever you are ready and if still needed.

Hi @MikoyanThank you for starting this thread! We just had a 23 DAY internet outage (just came back up this week). Emby was pretty much useless during this time! I had similar questions that you asked so you saved me a lotta typing . I'll read through the replies and see if I understand...

How long can you last before eyes hurt?

Hi, it's an interesting idea although likely a resource intensive one. I think it is best to focus on why there are two in the first place. I think in most cases on a new installation of Emby Server, this should be pretty rare nowadays.
