Purpose and Function Populate a Sync Channel Folder tree structure with rule based fetches from Sonarr and Radarr. Assign 1 or more rule based fetches to root and subfolders in the folder tree. Name/Rename Subfolders. Drag and drop UI (Groups, Conditions, Logic, Operators, Fields) to create rule sets. Realtime feedback on resultset to aid rule creation. Default placeholder video for "Coming Soon" functionality. Movies and Series support Emby's trailer functionality. Support for Emby's provider id function under "edit metadata" to provide links from Emby to Radarr/Sonarr. Support for image collage generation on subfolders, to show the most recent additions to the folder. Currently Movies and Series Endpoints are supported for Movies and Series Objects. (should be simplish to add more). Fields for rules are instantiated dynamically based on endpoint response. Learning foreign API fetching, Emby channels, IHASWEBPAGES and Claude coding. Primarily built from a feature request by a forum member for coming soon functionality but it morphed into more of a generic channel sync, hence the name. Getting Started SyncChannelGuide.mp4 Create a connection (eg to Radarr/Sonarr), Create a rule set or use a default rule set, assign to a folder in the folder tree. Tweak your preferred re-sync trigger (default 15 minutes) Disclaimers Vibe coded with Claude, backup database before 1st use until tested, special care/test server first if already using channels with volatile data (this is my first channel plugin). This is alpha with limited testing. I dont have real world use of the platforms. Download https://github.com/ginjaninja1/SyncChannel 0.0.0.3 Emby.SyncChannel.dll Changes Known Issues Probably quite a few, but hopefully you can get the simple cases working, they are for me. UI corruption during rule drag and drop, residual objects on screen. TMDBID/TVDBID allocation sometimes missing [1 of] Issues and suggestions welcome Roadmap Make logging better / user friendly. More careful consideration over watched status. more careful consideration over refresh optimisation and api load. learn a bit more about css to make the plugin look like it belongs better. If channels could be instantiated at runtime (dont think they can), then plugin could support multiple root folders. Expose the endpoint parameterisation, to support syncing supported media/channel items generically with any api. Other Info Plugin store data in \programdata\data\channel-sync (good to know if you want to reset/uninstall)

Hi, Luke. any news about that future?

It's all in the previous messages....

Feed back moonfin does not support the spotlight feature or I can not see away to enable the one I use, I have it displaying a different list each day of the week, the example below is bond films I also have a custom row of streaming media providers, that once clicked takes my to all media from the provider, this does not show in moonfin as well In moonfin if you take my james bond spotlight as an example above, moonfin shows your version miles two large (your version of spotlight). it covers the full window and as a user you would not realise to scroll down to other media, can this be make smaller? Then when you do scroll down, the images are all two small/compressed so are more difficult to read and are out of focus. Live TV currently does not work at all and never loads and shows a blank screen, but on my backend it is playing, this works fine in emby standard clients. On my setup I have a trailer play before movies, but in moonfin I am unable to skip these if I want, as no controls show, this is missing from the player window(emby default) We do get controls on the movie as below As per the above, I do not see any option to select sub titles for the media that is playing, same content in Emby As you can see it give me an option for Sub titles that I can not see in the above playback in moonfin. That's it for now, but Its looking quite good so far

Hi Luke, I normally do not remux. I just use makemkv to rip at full quality. I have done it on rare titles that has more than one disc that I want to merge, but otherwise I never use it. I can also re-rip it if you think this will help? Do you believe that a remux will tell you something about what is wrong or why do you want me to try this?

Just out of curiosity, how is this tied into Emby? I might need to check it out!

Hi everyone, Every time I run Emby Theater the 'Select Server' screen appears. Normally it just goes straight to the home page (as it's been doing for years). This started happening yesterday. Noticed it on one client, then on another. Thought it might be the server version so I updated the server to 4.9.5.0. No change. Thoughts? Thanks

So they are remote, not local connections through a VPN

in the same vpn yes and on lg smart tv works nut on samsung no

Is the server and TV on the same local network, or are you connecting remotely?

Any updates on this Luke?

Was there also a transcode/ffmpeg log created during that time you can provide the devs? BTW you will always get a better experience if you preselect a compatible audio and subtitle format if there is one before clicking play. Compatible codecs and formats are listed in the charts at the back of your user's manual. The Tizen player has always had problems transcoding some formats, especially with high bitrate files. Another issue is files with 30 or more internal tracks which causes buffering. You can turn off transcoding in user's profile playback settings on the server as a test, but if the codec is not listed in your manual as being compatible then you will either get no sound or an error from the Tizen player.

Can you also send an AndroidTV app log containing the error to the devs and provide the information requested in the link below Don't know what version of the app you were on before, but here's the list of changes.

Thanks I'll give it a try.

The script needs to be run manually. E.g. on the host system using Cron on Linux for example. The script does not interact with emby in any way

Tu as trouvé ? @SwafMon HDHomeRun a rendu l'ame et avant de le remplacer je veux explorer cette piste

Yes, as soon as you open ports in your router and firewalls, you open up another attack vector. And that has nothing to do with Emby, its for any program you want to use remote.

worked after few hours again. don't know what the problem was

We were able to set up port forwarding and the external connections are working now. Thank you! Is our network any more vulnerable to hackers or malware with the port forwarding?

I see the android TV app was updated a few days ago on my Sony Tv. Not sure of all formats and combos, but for the few files I tried, they were av1 with opus. The audio would transcode (whereas I don't think it did this before the update) and you get a black screen with audio only. The server logs showed: Emby Server version: 4.9.5.0 Operating system: Unix 6.1.0.37 Command Line: /home/programs/opt/emby-server/system/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /home/programs/emby_data -ffdetect /opt/emby-server/bin/ffdetect -ffmpeg /opt/emby-server/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /opt/emby-server/bin/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3 -updatepackage emby-server-deb_{version}_amd64.deb App: AndroidTv 2.1.51g Family Room TV User-Agent: Emby/2.1.51g (Linux;Android 12) ExoPlayerLib/2.18.7 With the transcode info: 14:00:14.879 Metadata: 14:00:14.879 AB_AV1_FFMPEG_ARGS: -c:v libsvtav1 -crf 29.75 -preset 4 14:00:14.880 ENCODER : Lavf62.15.100 14:00:14.880 Duration: 01:08:49.14, start: -0.007000, bitrate: 1623 kb/s 14:00:14.881 Stream #0:0: Video: av1 (Main), yuv420p10le(tv, progressive), 1920x1036, SAR 1:1 DAR 480:259, Level 8, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn (default) 14:00:14.882 Metadata: 14:00:14.884 DURATION : 01:08:49.084000000 14:00:14.884 Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, Start-Time -0.007s (default) 14:00:14.884 Metadata: 14:00:14.884 title : English DTS 5.1 chnls 768 kbps 14:00:14.884 ENCODER : Lavc62.31.100 libopus 14:00:14.885 DURATION : 01:08:49.137000000 14:00:14.886 Stream mapping: 14:00:14.886 Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (copy) 14:00:14.886 Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (opus (native) -> aac (native)) What exactly was changed in the newest version?

This is a general help question for how to debug plugins. I am enhancing the statistics plugin, mainly as a learning experience (I am adding the Dolby Vision profile so I can easily find those with DV10 that cause problems for some of my users) Im running on my local machine with minimal media, so it can run quickly. Setup: Windows 11 Visual Studio 2026 Emby: 4.9.5.0 On the server I have debug logging enabled My general flow: Build the dll Stop the server copy the dll to the plugins directory Sometimes I delete the configuration file, but doing so does not change start the server This also launches chrome to the servers page I confirm in the log that the plugin is getting loaded Got to the scheduled tasks, run the statistics task to generate the necessary information Go to the statistics configuration page, but the page is out of date. The data does update, but the HTML itself is out of date. I click refresh, and I click "force refresh ctrl-f5", I have run in incognito mode. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Is there a whitepaper on debugging plugins? Or developing plugins? Any help would be most appreciated. TIA Scott
