Hi.  That's not our message.  Exactly where are you seeing it?

See screen shots.

Thanks

Luke hi.

Quick question please. If I get a message alert: Too many files open does it mean too many movies paused?

How to I close them? If I press delete, are they only deleted from the queue and not from the database?

Thanks

We'd need to see the server log from when that happened. Thanks.

[GeorgeCalli 19]

Sure.

HI Guys/Like

As I'm using Beta here is some notes FYI

Server stopped again last night. Tried to download server file for that incident and it does not want to download - see screenshot appended. I had to cancel it 10 minutes later.

I append subsequent Hardware Detection and emby server log files for your perusal.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend

@GeorgeCalli Hi, please try 4.8.0.8+ once available for your platform and then provide a new Emby Server log for comparison. Thanks !

[GeorgeCalli 19]

@GeorgeCalli do your SMB shares require authentication?

[GeorgeCalli 19]

Not that I am aware of.

Don't recall being asked

What version of Windows are the shares on?

[GeorgeCalli 19]

Windows 10 - but remember server is on an Android Media Box

Windows shares require authentication, and currently Emby Server doesn't provide a way for you to specify this. It tries to access your share anonymously which Windows rejects. So we'll have to add the ability to enter a username and password.

Hi All

I've been running on Version 4.8.0.19 beta.

Here is the latest log file for your perusal.

This version disconnects randomly, and Scan media library stops at 94%.

Hi there, why do you think the scan stops?

[GeorgeCalli 19]

Not sure, but it might be the Task Trigger for Scan Media library.

I see the 'default' is set to every 12hours with a low time limit.

I changed this to weekly and gave it a longer timeframe - 2hours.

It now seems to work.

I'll monitor it and give feedback.

[Happy2Play 9780]

@GeorgeCalli Honestly that could make things worse as Library scan performs multiple tasks and scanning less with a time limit could never potentially finishing.

But the log shows "Authentication Failed" on two folders, other logs show more folders.

Error validating children for Billboard 504073 smb://192.168.1.1/S_Drive/Music/Albums/Billboard
Error validating children for English Songs 504053 smb://192.168.1.1/S_Drive/Music/English Songs

Would appear to be specific to specific files/folders via this library.

[GeorgeCalli 19]

Thanks for that.

I don't understand the error 'validating children'?

Is there a setting that I should be looking at perhaps?

 

[Luke 42077]

Windows 10 shares require authentication but there is currently no support in emby server for entering a username and password when you setup the library.

[GeorgeCalli 19]

Thanks Luke.

Any other suggestions perhaps, or do I just persevere?

So, is it a Windows problem and not an Android one because Emby server is on Android Box?

@GeorgeCalli

Windows 10+ now requires SMB authentication. Problem is, Emby Server doesn't support configuring this (yet). Are you handy with editing config files on this device? I can give you something to try.

[GeorgeCalli 19]

Hi Luke.

Apologies for the delayed response.

I could try, failing which I can ask for some help.

Let's try - let me know what the goal should be..

@GeorgeCallithe beta server version 4.8.0.40+ now has the ability to let you enter your credentials to the SMB share when you setup the library. That should give you what you need to get squared away.

Can you please try that? Thanks !

[GeorgeCalli 19]

Will do so. I'll give it a try.

Thanks, and then i'll offer feedback.
