Movie Theme Songs Plugin Questions and Support Thread

[radeon 755]

Actually, there is two things going on there in that log. The 50 mb file would be correct. I have the upper limit for theme songs at 50ish. 

The other issue is the index one above where it's trying to find a file that no longer exists on the host.

50 MB for a theme song would be very big. If you are using ffmpeg it should be possible to transform it into a small mp3 file (eg using 128 or 192 kbit/s)

[radeon 755]

Problem is some are an hour or so long which is what's prodicing the massive files. I'd be more inclined to bin off the 50 for something more like 25, remove those from the server and likely see them replaced for other people's themes at the smaller file size now they can get through the filters whilst the bigger files are now being blocked.

 

The problem is there is going to be a window where people are running the older version which will still allow the bigger files to be uploaded so I'll need to keep going onto the host and deleting the bigger files as they upload. Eventually it'll taper off and we'll be left with more manageable file sizes

any chance to force people to update with a popup or deny uploading from old versions?
Or set an upload limit on the serverside for audio files, just an idea

[radeon 755]

Emby itself will prompt users to update fairly quickly and I think I might just stop the indexer from updating to log the new files for around a week then just go in and delete anything bigger than the limits. 

 

Theme videos have an upper limit of around 100mb

Theme Songs are set at around 50mb

Do you think I should reduce those limits at all?

i just went through all my movie themes and i don't have any theme.mp3 files bigger than 10MB so i think 15-20MB for audio files should be more than enough as i don't think someone will use flac files or something else.

I also checked my trailers and i have indeed a trailer hitting 100mb (99.6MB for a 2:23min trailer) so maybe 150MB for movies would be good.

I would not focus too much on the movie trailers, because if someone thinks the trailer is too big or too long, he could easily download a smaller one manually from youtube for this special movie.

People have to decide how much space they have for trailers and themes but i think you agree with songs larger 20 or in the actual case 50MB must be enough for a theme song.

[radeon 755]

Ok cool, I'll push another release with a 20mb upload limit, give it a few days to roll out, flush out all the bigger themes, reindex and we should be good to go.

I have had issues with the "download local movie theme videos" scheduled task when it comes to completing.  The thing will run for a few hours and then freeze.  I don't know what causes it to freeze, but I just stopped running the task because I got tired of seeing the process frozen.  Do you think it could be a video that is over the limit that is freezing things up?  Maybe you or @radeonmay know the answer to this one.

I did leave a post about this in the local movie theme videos section, but there is no resolution yet.

[radeon 755]

It'll likely be to do with these massive files which I'm removing so should help if not resolved your issue too.

if you are new using the plugin or if you have a lot of movies i could imagine it can take multiple runs to finish everything.

My suggestion is to set a schedule for the movie download once a day and just let it like that for a week.

if the process stucks, i am sure there is a normal timeout when the process gets killed due overtime, so just give it a week check the modified date for your movies, i am sure there will be more and more trailers over the time.

this is how i would handle this problem

I do have a lot of movies.  About 1,200 of them.  That being said, I have movie theme videos for more than half of them.  I never let the process just run.  I suppose I could do that for a week and see how it goes.  After 2 days of the progress bar not moving, I just thought that the process was frozen.  Maybe that isn't the case.

Or maybe I wait until @radeondeletes all those large videos and then I kick off the process and see what happens.  

[Painkiller88 248]

The plugin seems to work now, but i recorgnized it is now downloading MKA files for all movies instead of mp3.

Maybe this is a coincidence but i never had mka files for my movies so maybe someone really uploaded mka files as audio theme files

[cbdudek 17]

After the update, I started running the plugins.  The "Download Local Movie Theme Videos" plugin has been at 49.8% for a few hours now.  I am going to wait more than a couple days this time and give it ample time to run.  Maybe it is indeed doing something.  Wish I could see a logfile or something that would tell me what it is doing, if anything.  I am checking the Emby logs now and I see that it is indeed doing something.

Ya, that was the matroska files that weren't being handled before. I presume someone has just added a load of mka's

Will you add a feature that transforms MKAs to MP3s in order to reduce file size?

[Painkiller88 248]

Another thing i recorgnized is, that the plugin starts downloading the theme song, and afterwards, it is checking of there already exists a theme.mp3, so it would improve the process and the speed a lot, if the check if the file already exists happens before the downloading, normalizing etc.

As you can see in the last few lines it is writing the file exists, but the download and all other stuff happens before this is checked.


Just an idea to improve and speed up this process  

[radeon 755]

I already do, in fact, I ask Emby to give me a list of all media without themes so there shouldn't be a case where the file already exists, that's just a final safety check. That's just a final check to confirm no file already exists. That would suggest you have something else going wrong or the request I make to emby isn't returning a valid request. Nothing to do with my plugin not being optimised

Hi,

speaking about the theme.mka files that got downloaded in masses last time. I found out, those files got downloaded even if there is already a theme.mp3 file in the movie folder. In my case it was for the movie "Aquaman 2"

Edited September 28, 2024 by Painkiller8818

@radeon Will you add a feature that transforms MKAs to MP3s in order to reduce file size?

[zm098y 3]

It ran normally in the previous version, but the new version caused CPU overload and there was no progress. I don't understand why the transcoding function was added. It is a heavy burden for an embyserver like me without a GPU. In fact, the space occupied by the entire media library can be completely ignored compared to those topic videos.

[zm098y 3]

Dear developers, if you want to add functionality to MKV-mp4, it should be made optional rather than mandatory. This troubles me very much.

Compared with those movie collections, compressing the space occupied by theme.mkv is meaningless, but causes a heavy burden on the CPU.

That's something odd with emby then as it's reporting to me that a theme doesn't exist for that movie

Potentially, I'm thinking more about a server side processor that does it instead

I don't do any additional transcoding, nothing has changed in that sense.
