Streaming not ending server-side causing multiple streaming on 1 user

[Enrico1203 14]

Greetings to all. Any news about this bug? Still present in emby: 4.8.11.0

In the screenshot attached the user its not streaming that video since 2 days and its stuck on the dashboard and counted as 1 streaming for that user. If i set the limit to 1 simultaneous for that user it cannot stream anymore until I restart the emby server. This is not a Samsung TV bug, the problem happen on various devices, browser included.

 @Lukeif you need anything that can help solving this. Logs or any other things I can share in private via mail, chat or where you want.

 

(This problem has been going on for several years and solving it would be a great achievement for everyone)

The only workaround that works is to make a cron job that restarts the emby server every X hours to clean those streams

Hello, i'm using docker official version:
 

networks:
  shared_network:
    external: true

services:
  emby:
    image: emby/embyserver:latest
    container_name: emby
    environment:
      - UID=0 
      - GID=0
      - GIDLIST=44,109 
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config # Configuration directory
      - /mnt/FILE:/FILE 
    ports:
      - 8096:8096 # HTTP port
    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri # VAAPI/NVDEC/NVENC render nodes
    restart: on-failure
    networks:
      - shared_network

In this example user MauroN stopped the stream of Big Mama --> 2025-05-04 17:31:04.396 Info SessionManager: Playback stopped reported by app Emby for Samsung 1.7.0 on Samsung Smart TV playing Big Mama: Tale padre tale figlio. Stopped at 2619137 ms. PlaySessionId: 99ea5cfaf01946959d4303205f9d7628

But now at 23:18 still present on the dashboard and counted as an active stream (if MauroN have in the user settings 1 maximum concurrent stream it can not play anything else).

Hi, how exactly did they stop the stream?

The samsung video player is still sending requests right up until the time this log file ends.

@Enrico1203?

sorry for delay. The issue for me is solved with the last emby update 4.9.
