You need to manually press the "Next Episode" button.

Thanks for the kind words!  

Ugh, I must have misunderstood the plugin. We used to watch this on Netflix and Netflix would typically auto skip the credits and that's the behavior I was looking for. We're both hopefully asleep or falling asleep while it plays so not looking to have to manually skip.

It's great for other shows that I'm watching while not trying to sleep though

I've considered just cropping the files themselves but when I tried before they ended up a larger size! Need to find the correct editor.

It uses this same system so you can try and set that in Emby and see what happens.
But unless they changed it since last i tried my self, then i don't think it will work.
Sadly out of my hands since it's an Emby limitation.

You can make a feature request post, that will inform the developers that there are users who want it.

So i just got some serious red ears in a conversation with @Luke.
Problem is my plugins have always targeted .net 6 and not netstandard 2 as required by the Emby team (somehow i missed that).

Luckily for this plugin i have always maintained a netstandard 2 version of it for various reasons that i will upload instead.
It is not as thoroughly tested but *should* be bug free as it's been more or less maintained as 1-1.

It will be beta version 2.7.8.0, any one willing to help test please do so this plugin can get on the right track again.

Installed and ran some scans with no issues.  With that said, a recent release (prior to this) resulted in the Emby Scheduled Task execution ignoring my configured library settings, and is scanning media that I don't want it to check.  If you need any log files, let me know.

Have you set these settings correctly?


Yes, please send a log.

I could swear a re-checked those values (I used to have 2 of my 4 libraries selected), but somehow they got blanked.  So the bug report was a PEBCAK error, but it resetting was unexpected behavior.

Strange.
If it happens again please don't hesitate to send me a log file and i will look into it!

I'm pretty sure 2.7.8.0 stops the current process and restarts when scheduled (in the previous version a scheduled start would not stop a running one).

It's not a problem per se, but it means I cannot monitor overall progress (incl. failures) as it's always only about 20 episodes in when I check (I have >9000 episodes to do).

A scheduled task can not stop a manually started one by design.
If it does happen to you please send a log file to me as i can't replicate the problem my self.

Is it possible that maybe a (daily) scheduled task is stopping the previous scheduled task as it is taking more than one day to complete?

I'm pretty sure Emby does not start a scheduled task if another one is running. 

I will look into that because I always had that assumption.

I’ve just restarted manually and will check in tomorrow

OK, looking good!

Nice to hear.  

[RedNo7 33]

It's restarted again.  I'm not sure why though.

The schedule start is ~6 hours ago.  I'll cancel the schedule and see what happens over time (to rule that out).

 

edit: When I stopped the task, I got this showing:

...which is the exact runtime if the process had been triggered by the schedule (and had stopped/restarted the already running manually-triggered process).

Please send a log and since it might be rather big please also mention the time it happened.

From a quick look i see some errors happening i need to fix but nothing serious that should stop the detection.
I will keep looking.

@RedNo7


In the scheduled task do you have a time limit set ?

I did have one, but, I removed it a week or so ago.

[yocker 1929]

@RedNo7I spoke too soon.
I think i see a problem with your setup.

Let's move this to PM to not fill the thread.

"Thanks so much! I'll give it a try.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to test the latest beta version of the EmbyCredits plugin, but I cannot find the beta .dll file on GitHub.

Could someone point me in the right direction or share where to download the latest beta build? (Is it shared via PM, attached to a specific post in this thread, or hosted on another branch?)

Setup & Hardware Specs

CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K (Quick Sync Video active, no dedicated NVIDIA GPU)

RAM: 128 GB

Library size: ~61,000 episodes

Questions regarding settings:

1. Chromaprint triggering at the beginning of episodes

When trying to use Chromaprint (audio fingerprinting), it's misbehaving and matching way too early, near the start of the video:

What are the recommended settings or search offsets to force the audio scan to focus strictly on the last few minutes of the episode?

What are good values for the minimum match duration and confidence thresholds to prevent opening themes or incidental audio cues from triggering false positive markers?

2. OCR tuning & performance scaling

With 61,000 episodes, running OCR takes a massive amount of time:

Without a dedicated NVIDIA card (no CUDA), the OCR engine is relying purely on the CPU/RAM, while frame extraction can use Intel QSV.

With 20 cores / 28 threads on the 14700K and 128 GB of RAM, what are the recommended settings (worker threads, extraction FPS, temp directory configuration) to maximize throughput without bottlenecking the system?

Are there best practices to avoid the initial scan choking the server on such a large library?

Thanks in advance for your help and feedback!

[yocker 1929]

@fbourg you can find the latest in the emby catalog. 

I've been to lazy to update the GitHub for a little while. I really need to pull my self together and update it.
