Save button inactive

[EtPvSyno 1]

Hello,

I couldn't find any information on this issue, so need your help (again). This is a bit strange but since this morning I can't save any changes in any media metadata .
The "Save" Button is inactive. (it was ok yesterday)

There is no error message, only the button stay frozen.

I've tried several things: restarting Emby Server, then both my Synology and the Emby Server.

The user's rights R/W are ok, there were no changes on the DSM recently.

Version : EMBY 4.6.4.0

Synology DSM 7.0

using boh Chrome or Firefox.

Log file attached.

thank you for any help

Is this only on Music?  Almost all metadata will come from the embedded tags and can not be changed via Emby UI.

[EtPvSyno 1]

Yes, it's for music. But I used to change metadata for severall weeks without problem till today.

I've imported files with embedded metadata, but need to add or change few things, like synopsis for exemple.

Only thing standing out in your log that I see is you need to apply the inotify patch.

OK. I'm trying this in a boot task. I'll let you know.

[EtPvSyno 1]

Seems it doesn't work. I'll try to work further on it;

Let us know how you get on. Thanks.

[EtPvSyno 1]

Okay ! I finaly find something, on the Synology server side,

the folder Emby/Metadata was readeable only for users, and R&W only for Emby App. I don't unsderstand how it's done, but after changing this and make other users R&W it looks ok for saving changes in my music files metadata.

not sure of this solution. but, now it works.

we'll see.

Thank you for your help.

For @Happy2Play, could you confirm your previous post

"Is this only on Music?  Almost all metadata will come from the embedded tags and can not be changed via Emby UI." ?

I use metadata changes via Emby a lot. I know that it will not update metadata's file. But, some datas are not in the original file (ie synopsis for example), and others are false.

As my family uses the Emby app for browsing the music library, it seemed easier to make changes directly there ; despite some features are missing (filtering by album or by composer ; bulk editing ; adding personns for musicians)

 

[EtPvSyno 1]

Hello

just to let you know.

it doesn't work anymore. I suppose there is a nb or size limit somewhere ?

I don't get it ; as i'm not skilled with coding or server admninistrating.

Unfortunalty that makes too much difficulties. It's a pity, because the emby UI is smart, and there are interesting features.

You can edit using the Emby metadata editor, we just recommend changing the embedded information in the files directly.

Hi there, what exactly is not working? Can you please show us an example of what you mean? Thanks.

Hi @Luke

have a good sunday

my issue: still can't save metadata (save button is inactive/frozen)

following @Happy2Play, I've created a task in my synology.

Still have this in the server log :

System.IO.IOException: System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (8192) on the number of inotify watches has been reached, or the operating system failed to allocate a required resource.

I've tried to excecute the same command line in SSH (root access), without success. I probably make a mystake somewhere..

sh -c '(sleep 90 && echo 204800 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches)&'

when i call "cat.... max_user_watches" .. still have 8192 as a reply.

Please excuse me if not clear because of lack of coding kwnoledge or  approximative english.

[EtPvSyno 1]

#update.. It works (at least once )

after severall attemps with manual exécution of the script on synology.  the limit is now at 204800. Let's cross fingers for tomorrow after the server restart... I'll let you know in any case.

sh -c '(sleep 90 && echo 204800 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches)&'

[Luke 42080]

That log message has nothing to do with saving metadata in the metadata editor.

[EtPvSyno 1]

Ok @luke, but I don't see what could generate this.

I've tried saving some changes again without success, few minutes ago. (log file attached)

[Luke 42080]

Can you provide the contents of the browser debug console? Thanks.

[EtPvSyno 1]

Here is the log from Google Chrome 
This appears when I click on 'save' changes on metadata :

"An invalid form control with name='' is not focusable."

I also copy/paste issues from the console in any case.
