@soderlund91WOW ! - when did the Playlist to Tag work as I hoped it would do for TV Shows !? If a USER uses 'add to Playlist' on a TV Show, Emby currently (incorrectly imo), adds all the episodes (but not the show or season). Meaning you could never easily use that to create a Watchlist. However, I've just realised that if you now use that Playlist as a Tag source, it just Tags the SHOW with the Tag, not the individual episodes - this is just PERFECT for creating a Watchlist.!! This is excellent - and I now just need to tell users to add to their own (or others if they have permission) playlists to get the SHOW added to their own Watchlist (which thanks to the new homescreen, now has their own ROW called Watchlist) Fantastic ! Going to be fully testing this for sure -- Perfect - by selecting any adding Spartacus to the Playlist ie - in ANY App - a USER can add to their own Playlist .. at last a Watchlist has become a reality without me needing some scripting to convert it .. hooray !

When reading music video on Samsung TV the image quality is poor. I thought it was the original recording but I played the same videos on a androidtv app and the video was clean. Looking at the logs it seems there is a problem playing the videos.

Yes it is. The logic is like this: 1. Download external list / check local media info filter 2. Compare to your movie library 3. Tag movies/series and remove the tag from items that no longer match from step 1. So if your manually added movie isn’t part of the filter or the external list, the plugin says “this has once been on the spotlight list but is no more, I need to remove the tag.” I believe this is the best way to ensure an automated and curated tag/collection. With the latest beta release you can manually include a movie by its name. Maybe I can add a more direkt way to all options to “also include this movie/series”.

The server is currently running on Debian 13. The installation went smoothly. I wanted to install the beta version of the client on a computer running Fedora. This also went smoothly with Debian using the Universal Installer, but did not work with Fedora. I do not want to switch the server to Fedora yet.

I disabled all my spotlight tag tasks, and manually tagged one film as spotlight because I keep meaning to watch it and forgetting. Downloaded the new beta, set up a couple of spotlight tags using the new media information stuff, and it wiped the manually-added spotlight tag from the single film. Is this intended behavior?

Simple question, so had no idea where to post it, sorry. Looks, Emby downloading metadata only from first source in a list. I have tvdb, moviedb, openmoviedb, tvmaze sources. When Emby scanning library, it;s taking info only from first in a list, ignoring rest of databases. It's difficult in TV Shows as some databases have all actors, some, none. For another show, first database have none, but other database have all actors. So I need to change manually sources to add all actors, directors... . Maybe ca add function to scan all databases for metadata, like tick box or something? Thanks. embyserver (1).txt

Doesn't look like Emby can probe the stream in my test. 026-02-28 23:46:37.172 Info MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Execute: C:\Users\Media\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\ffprobe.exe -i "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUYMqRjNxhM" -threads 0 -v info -print_format json -show_streams -show_chapters -show_format -show_data 2026-02-28 23:46:37.192 Debug MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Started. 2026-02-28 23:46:38.239 Info DynamicHlsService-0HNJNCQIT7849:0000002C: AppendExtraLogData - Read graph file: C:\Users\Media\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\logs\ffmpeg-transcode-fa50e0c6-72ab-4c5f-80a3-f3fa66eb2de8_1graph.txt 2026-02-28 23:46:38.245 Info MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Process exited with code 0 2026-02-28 23:46:38.257 Info DynamicHlsService-0HNJNCQIT7849:0000002C: AppendExtraLogData - Deserialized GraphData fileStream: 6,187.00 bytes Graph Count: 1 2026-02-28 23:46:38.258 Info DynamicHlsService-0HNJNCQIT7849:0000002C: AppendExtraLogData - File Deleted 2026-02-28 23:46:38.260 Error App: Error in ffprobe *** Error Report *** Version: 4.10.0.4 Command line: C:\Users\Media\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.dll -noautorunwebapp Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10.0.26300 OS/Process: x64/x64 Framework: .NET 8.0.22 Runtime: C:/Users/Media/AppData/Roaming/Emby-Server/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 8 Data path: C:\Users\Media\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata Application path: C:\Users\Media\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Unified.Ffmpeg.FfRunException: Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Unified.Ffmpeg.FfRunException: ffprobe failed - streams and format are both null: -i "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUYMqRjNxhM" -threads 0 -v info -print_format json -show_streams -show_chapters -show_format -show_data ffprobe version 5.1-emby_2023_06_25_p4 Copyright (c) 2007-2022 the FFmpeg developers and softworkz for Emby LLC built with gcc 12.2.0 (Rev10, Built by MSYS2 project) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUYMqRjNxhM: Invalid data found when processing input { } at Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Probing.MediaProbeManager.GetMediaInfoInternal(MediaSourceInfo mediaSource, String inputPath, String primaryPath, MediaProtocol protocol, Boolean extractChapters, Boolean isAudio, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Providers.MediaInfo.FFProbeVideoInfo.ProbeVideo[T](MetadataResult`1 metadataResult, MetadataRefreshOptions options, BaseItem[] collectionFolders, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Providers.Manager.MetadataService`2.RunCustomProvider(ICustomMetadataProvider`1 provider, MetadataResult`1 itemResult, String logName, MetadataRefreshOptions options, BaseItem[] collectionFolders, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, RefreshResult refreshResult, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Source: Emby.Server.MediaEncoding TargetSite: Void MoveNext()

Any progress on this? I have a huge amount of live concerts id love to listen to!

I must be missing something then I have a link in a strm file and when I click play it shows a black video player and nothing plays...

great plugin !

Hi, YouTube URLs should work in strm.

Hi, have you explored your Emby user Home Screen settings? You can set the default tab there.

collections, library folder views (whci is what i use all the time) , etc by the way, while we're here I just want to also ask that you can set the default view per library (eg folder view) bceuase on the TV it always goes to "everything mashed together view" (first tab) then you have to move across whcih is a real pain, and in fact its a deal breaker for my kids so they dont like using emby, its too fiddly.

You have an obscure show that has pretty much zero footprint. Honestly just leave it as the Chinese name. It would appear that TheMovieDB is not sending the right information for the Westernized name, which I have seen with obscure shows.

OK it's one year later, is this still a possibility?

SDR content briefly showed the green "hardware acceleration" icon in the dashboard, but it disappeared almost instantly. Restarting the stream does not seem to make the icon reappear, but starting a completely new episode very briefly shows the icon (<1 s) ffmpeg-transcode-cc8831af-cf45-4d26-be71-0ffd843e4053_1.txt

There is only a single site that has the anime, there is not much of a choice I have. If the folder name is the chinese one, the id gets set automatically to the single provider (TheMovieDb). If the folder name is in english, after removing all identification over the UI when wrongly automatically identified and setting the same id to TheMovieDb again, once meta data refreshes it overwrites it again for the automatically wrong version. If I use identify and provide the chinese name or TheMovieDb id, it gets found but does not take the selected and found result and overwrites it with something else again.

Are we any closer to this one? Really all it needs to be is allowing you to open a hyperlink or all link and let the app (YouTube) and android handle the rest right?

Are we any closer to this one?

I think this is fixed!

Hi, artist either comes from filling in manually or from metadata embedded within the file.

Hi, how does it compare with sdr content?

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

Did you use the id from your highest priority metadata fetcher ?

@RanmaCanadaWhy would you say that this is not an Emby issue? I'm providing the id directly in the identify window, it matches with the anime and decides to overwrite the found result afterwards with an different id. If an id is provided directly, it should use the provided one. I have not found the show at all at TVDB, doesnt matter if it is the chinese or english one.
