katbyte 41 Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Hello, i'm experiencing a lot of instability due to these plugins. 1: Spamming Dead MediaFire Links (404 Errors) into the log, The plugins are attempting to download theme songs and videos from mediafire.com. However, many of these links are dead. The plugins don't handle this gracefully; they just throw a massive amount of MediaBrowser.Model.Net.HttpException: NotFound stack trace into the logs.

Even when the MediaFire links are active, the plugin is getting rate-limited or dropping connections, resulting in a System.Net.Http.HttpIOException: The response ended prematurely. Because the file fails to download completely, the next step in the plugin crashes with a FileNotFoundException because it can't find the .tmp file it expected to process.

I have now disabled these as they are not currently functioning for me on the latest beta version of emby. Looking at this there are clearly a few bugs that need to be fixed: 1. Fix the Missing Quote in FFmpeg Params (if its not a log error): In the plugin code where the ffmpeg arguments are built for transcoding (aresample=async=1000...), a closing quotation needs to be added to the output file path. Quote embyserver.txt:516:2026-04-05 00:00:22.764 Info App: TV Theme Videos ffmpeg params : -i "/var/emby/cache/cache/temp/155720b6-f383-498d-ba98-d565da89ef46.tmp" -map_metadata -1 -vcodec copy -acodec aac -strict experimental -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 128000 -af "aresample=async=1000,volume=-6dB" "/var/emby/cache/cache/temp/155720b6-f383-498d-ba98-d565da89ef46.tmp.mkv there is no quote at the end? 2. Add the -nostdin flag to FFmpeg: Any background ffmpeg process spawned by a plugin MUST include the -nostdin flag. This prevents ffmpeg from hanging indefinitely if a pipe breaks or an argument is malformed. Because the plugin waits on this process, the infinite loop starves Emby's internal worker threads, which is what eventually causes the entire Emby web UI to freeze This i think would have helped prevent the above bug from causing these issues so its a good guard against them in the future. 3. Handle Existing Files: Wrap the File.Move operations in a try/catch block or check if (File.Exists(destination)) before attempting to move the processed .tmp file to the media directory. 4. Handle broken links/and network io exceptions. please let me know if you need anything else (like the full emby server logs), if i'm mistaken and there is something else going on here and when they have been address so i can re-enable the plugins @radeon outside that thanks for the plugins as they have been running for years on a very large library downloading A LOT of data and this is the first issue i've had like this.
