Hi,

I have a problem with the new version 4.9.5.0 for synology. My movies don't start with the latest version I had no problems but with version 4.9.5.0 for synology I have the problem that Emby is having problems. I just can't start any move at all. I have a synology 1821+ nas in raid 5. With the previous version I didn't have any problems but after the update the problems started. Hope someone have a solution. I send a log as attachment.

@zhianjo I see this error in your logs.

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.

This should help you with your error.

Hi, when I try to start a movie it's stuck from the beginning. The movie starts up until it has to run and then it is stuck.

@Neminem thanks for the reply. I did what you suggested but it didn't work.  I did run the task and restarted the nas and Emby but I still have the same issue. I tried it with my username as owner and with root but both didn't work.

I installed the previous version of Emby 4.9.3.0 and that works fine. In version 4.9.5.0 I did what @Neminem suggested but that didn't work.

Could you post what the task settings are?  Are you still getting inotify errors in your log?  Were you logged on as an admin when doing the cat statements?    You wouldn't be getting inotify errors if it didn't exist :)  The instructions work so I'm trying to figure out what went wrong.

BTW the inotify errors really only affect RTM.  It isn't going to fix playback of movies.

@FrostByte Thanks for the reply I appreciate the help.

1. Could you post what the task settings are?  Look at the files below.

2. Are you still getting inotify errors in your log? I didn't get any inotify errors in my log as far as I can see.

3. Were you logged on as an admin when doing the cat statements? I am the administrator.

4. You wouldn't be getting inotify errors if it didn't exist. I think it's another issue because why does Emby 4.9.3.0 works fine (no errors-no delay) and with 4.9.5.0 it doesn't.

With Emby 4.9.5.0 the movie start up screen comes up you can see all the settings but the movie doesn't start. In the middle of the screen you see the blue circle turning around and that's it.

I was referring to what you input on the task settings tab.  That's the General tab in the pick.

However, if you are no longer getting inotify errors in the Emby server log then the script is working.

Correct, as mentioned this only affects RTM.  Has nothing to do with movie playback.
