Camera Upload - File Size Limitations


Recommended Posts

So I've been troubleshooting why some pictures upload to Emby off my phone and why others do not. I found that pictures larger than 1MB do not upload even when I'm connected to my wifi.

 

Is this a limitation of Emby, is there a cap on how large the pictures can be, is there a setting I can change or is this a bug?

What phone?

It's a OnePlus 3, device model ONEPLUS A3000. It's running CM13 (CyanogenMod) android 6.0.1. It has the latest Emby app installed on it as well, version 2.9.37.

@@Luke - I discovered what the issue was/is with not being able to upload pictures larger than 1MB in size. I'm using nginx as a reverse proxy to serve Emby. I had to explicitly configure Emby to allow a file of a certain size to be uploaded. 

 

If users are having a similar issue, the following can be added to the nginx.conf file and their sites-available file for Emby:

/etc/nginx/sites-available/<file name>

server {
client_max_body_size 8M;

//other lines...
}

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

http {
client_max_body_size 8M;
client_body_timeout 120s;
//other lines...
} 

I used a larger file size than what I provided as an example but users should have an idea.
