0.1.1.0 Added ctrl keypress - overlay, all season drag, all season remove. Added numerical indicator on ignored qty. Added busy indicator on saving. Added show image preview on hover. simplified the video focusing on the core/simple functionality.

In the emby dashboard on the left will be the admin account preferences. Click on Home Screen, then change live tv default screen to whatever preference you want. Suggestions is the one to select for programs This works for me anyways

Hey, about the Premium/account question: the API key used by the plugin isn’t a YouTube login. It only identifies the Google Cloud project and grants access to the YouTube Data API, so it has no link to your YouTube account or Premium subscription. Using a real YouTube account would require OAuth 2.0, which the plugin doesn’t use. And even with OAuth, YouTube doesn’t provide any API to disable or replace ads. So there’s currently no way to connect a Premium account to the plugin.

speed up applying artwork (posters and banners) from the same set across all seasons. Notify Admins (Live and Dashboard) if season images found on providers but not local.

Same here. Casting to AirPlay devices only works for me with the native player — as soon as I switch to mpv, the audio goes out of sync.

I am running both the android tv and standard android app and I have noticed for awhile the trailers dont work. You get a watch on YouTube graphic. In the web browser it seems to not even go to YouTube. But I saw an other issue before about comfirming your not a bot. That is not what I get. It just gives an error code and says watch on YouTube.

I find the standard app is so slow on an android tv. Im running the ONN 4K pro box but I have also tried it on others. It loads the icons slower the scrolling around is slower. I should do a video I guess. I feel like one app is fine but then have like some apps where you can choose which interface you want. You are correct the standard is slow and not optimized for an android tv box its more set up for a phone or tablet.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

I don't believe so. I think the server still relies on the "versions" options and it is completely unable to pick the correct one and just selects them by name placement (though I could be wrong). I just keep my libraries separate and only give access to users who have the right hardware. Yes it's more work, but it saves so much headache.

Environment: Emby Server: v4.9.5.0 (Docker container) Client: Emby app on Samsung Smart TV File Format: MPEG-TS (.ts) Server OS: Linux Issue Description: When attempting to play a MPEG-TS live recording on a Samsung Smart TV via the Emby app, users receive the error: "No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details" Reproduction Steps: Record a live MPEG-TS stream (.ts file) via Emby Live TV Attempt to play the recording on a Samsung Smart TV using the Emby app Error occurs immediately Expected Behavior: The Emby server should transcode the MPEG-TS file to a format compatible with the Samsung TV client Actual Behavior: Transcode fails with ContainerNotSupported error. Server has no fallback and cannot serve the stream. Logs: Server logs show transcode failures: ContainerNotSupported SubtitleCodecNotSupported Workaround: Playing the same file on Android (Pixel 7 Pro) works perfectly — device has native MPEG-TS codec support. Additional Info: Samsung TV appears to lack native MPEG-TS support and relies on server-side transcoding, which is currently failing.

thanks, it's fixed on moviedb plugin version 1.9.3.0 @Luke

Die Anzeige Funktioniert nur auf den Unterseiten, auf der Startseite leider nicht.

I agree. Does there exist an option in emby by now to have both SDR and HDR files side by side in the same library and it automatically choses the right one according to available hardware? The last time i tried this it did not work and the workaround was to have a second emby server specific for HDR content. So i completely ignored this topic from then on.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

What do you mean with unreliable?

Same with "Google Chromecast with Google TV" Any update?

Hi, I'm having an issue with Emby when trying to delete a user. Whenever I try to delete the user, Emby shows the following error: Exception of type 'MediaBrowser.Common.Extensions.RemoteServiceUnavailableException' was thrown. Because of this error, I'm unable to delete the user. Has anyone experienced this issue before or knows how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

A dedicated GPU isn’t required. If the system has a supported hardware encoder through integrated graphics/APU, that can be used as well. There’s also a direct passthrough mode with no video re-encoding. It’s very lightweight, but it’s best considered a best-effort mode: the application can still maintain the tuner connection, monitor the stream, remux it and recover from outages, but it has less ability to insulate the DVR from damaged GOPs, timestamps or compressed video coming from the source. Hardware transcoding is therefore the recommended mode when available because it gives the application much more control over the outgoing media structure and continuity. Passthrough remains useful for good-quality sources or when preserving the original stream is preferred.

It will be tomorrow. Thanks.

the switch user action is available in the add-on menus under Add-on actions, you can map this to an action in a customizable home screen skin that supports that. there is also a user list in the same addon-actions that list user and if you select one it switches to that user, again map this to a dynamic view on the home page of a skin that supports that sort of thing.

To update my last post - I am watching a movie I ripped to MKV tonight and the issue I mentioned is in fact still there. Seems it doesn't do it with MP4 files.

I want an animation to show on the home page

The same exact search results in WebUI work, yet word for word in the Android App locks up the server for minutes.

Thanks for the reply! Probably a really crazy question but, would it be possible to have Emby see that a file is a symlink and have a hard-coded limit as to how much of the file it reads to satisfy ffprobe? It seemed that most of the episodes, it flew through them and only needed to read 5-15 megs of data but every now and then, it would encounter a file that it wanted InfiniDysk to download all of it. Do you think this would be a problem if I were using strm files?

HI, the question would also be about the impact on server transcoding, because it relies on this information to be accurate. And to be honest, not just transcoding but all of playback. Even direct playing looks at this information heavily.
