What client?  What do you see on the screen?

Can you provide the server log covering the time you tried?

I reinstalled the emby server which appears to fix the issue. I have another PC with the same libraries, different drive letters. Are there files that I can copy to the newly installed server and then just change the drive letters?

 

[pwhodges 2067]

You'd be stuck with comprehensively editing the database.  Could you possibly change the other machine's drive letters to match? - or would that break other programs?

Close it out. I just went through and created new libraries

Thanks for following up.

hardware_detection-63917658857.txtI had this error last week. On PC win11 or Roku, libraries all look ok. Select video, picture appears and select start --- just starts the spinning timer

Error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Last week after numerous hours, reinstalled the server and re configured. Been fine all week, today the error is back.

Tried restore from within emby, same issue. 

Won't accept log file.

add info: select transcode in cofig Emby Server transcoding services are still busy starting up. This screen will automatically refresh when transcoding services are ready.

Hi, try installing the server again on top of your existing installation and see if that helps.

[bobbee001 5]

Thats what I did to fix it last week, but now its back. I noticed on the restore there is an extract data, would that put the libraries back ?

Do you think there is an issue with the transcoder, as it shows busy consistently. If so, any ideas ?

If that resolves it then this tells me that you have anti-virus or security software on your machine tampering with your server installation files.

We need to locate your original topic and merge this into that. It will make it easier for everyone to review all of the previous information. Thanks.
