Well, After 10 years all I can say ... The future is here!!!

I'm running Emby Server 4.10.0.40 on Linux (fnOS, kernel 6.18.18, .NET 8.0.28), installed via Docker. I'd like to report a UI refresh issue when deleting a subtitle from the item detail page in Emby Web. Steps to reproduce: Open a movie or episode with an external subtitle file (e.g. Movie.zh-CN.srt) in Emby Web. Go to the item detail page and find the subtitle in the subtitle list. Click delete on that subtitle (using Emby's built-in subtitle delete function). The subtitle file is physically deleted from disk (verified on the server). The subtitle still appears in the subtitle list on the current page. The page does not refresh. Leave the detail page and re-enter it. The subtitle is now gone and the list is correct.

Hi, what help text do you mean? The one in grey underneat the "remember chosen track"? When disabling those options after your comment of Sept 6th I also used the link to clear all remembered chosen tracks. So this should then be eliminated and the next time the default track or forced german track should be chosen. But it isn't. Additionally I never chose turkish to be played. So there should never be something like that to be remembered. Or did you mean something else?

Thanks for the feedback, but I don't have any issues locally—that's direct playback. I found a solution for external streams: the latest Nvidia driver + driver patch + modifying the cache duration in the encoding file. I can run eight 4K streams without any problems.

There is no Random sort option for collections on the home screen. Collections are great for content discovery on the home screen and Random order would be really useful there. Random sort ordering is already available for Dynamic Media and Playlists (although missing for Single Playlists). Hopefully something that can be added?

Well, that feature request should probably be closed - because it's simply not reasonably feasible to stream-playback from an archive in any other way than for playing from the start. Depending on the archive format, locating the file and determining the relevant compressed stream may require reading archive metadata from other parts of the archive. More importantly, the decompressor may need substantial decoder state, such as a large compression dictionary, which can only be reconstructed by processing preceding compressed data.” And even worse: You cannot start decompression right in the middle of a file. Decompression depends on state and this state can only be established by starting decompression from the beginning. For example, when you have a single video file, e.g. 1.05 GB inside a zip archive of 1 GB size (trying to compress a video file with modern codecs gives just minimal savings in file size) and you want to access/extract a sequence of 10 MB in the middle of the video, for reconstructing those 10 MB, all the preceding 500 MB need to be downloaded first, and run through decompression (discarding the results) only to get into the state from which those 10 MB can be decompressed. In other words: No seeking for remote archives. Even for local archives, it can take a very long time to start playback at a specific position. The farther to the end, the worse it would be. For the WebStreams plugin, what's beeen under consideration is a download feature. In that context, it might be possible to allow it to download archives and automatically exctract the contents when downloaded, but at the moment it's just an idea.

I tried a clean install of the new version after uninstalling it and deleting the EmbyServer folder. It still hung up my NAS so I deleted everything and reinstalled the last version and I’m all working again. I’ll be interested to see if there is an issue or whether it’s just on my NAS.

I really thought it would be fixed in this latest stable but I guess not, glad I haven't upgraded yet. I'm still stuck on 4.9.1.90

This may be a niche case, but I had it happen twice in a night. After a power outage, (after battery backups were exhausted), everything came back up, but Emby was missing everything in the movie library. Despite reboots, I had to do a full library rescan. I also then had to fix all the library issues, (duplicates, mismatches), etc. Is there an option or feature to somehow detect if the whole library is missing and not just dump it?

I have dm'd you sir

Emby Custom Art Provider https://github.com/barneacode/Emby.Plugin.CustomArtFetcher Pull artwork for your movies & series from custom URLs with support for placeholders. This plugin provides a way to use external (or self hosted) image providers such as BetterPosters (https://btttr.cc/), XRDB (https://xrdb.elfhosted.com/) and PostersPlus (https://postersplus.elfhosted.com/) for Posters, Backdrops, Logos and Thumbnails, allowing a vast set of customization options for these images - from textless posters (see below) to various tags and badges. It supports the following placeholders -{imdb_id} {tmdb_id} {tvdb_id} {tvmaze_id} {tvrage_id} {item_type} Disclaimer: This plugin was created by AI (Claude) with under my guidance, review and verification. If you are uncomfortable with that, feel free to skip this one. Settings: Textless posters:

TV Show Status 2.5.135.0 Nothing you have saved changes — every setting keeps its name and default. New Include the season number on premiere and finale badges now governs every badge you see. It has always applied to the badges drawn into the artwork, which reach every client; from this release the web browser's Upcoming badges follow it too. Turn it on and a card reads "Season 4 Finale"; leave it off and artwork and browser both show plain "Season Finale". Until now the browser printed the number whatever the setting said, so with it off a thumbnail read "Season Premiere" while the Upcoming card beside it read "Season 2 Premiere". Refresh the Emby web page once so the browser picks up the new script Fixed A season finale that has already aired now keeps its season number on the badge. It was dropping back to plain "Season Finale" the moment the episode aired, because the number was being read from the show's next season, which no longer points at the one that just ended. This is the badge drawn into the artwork, so it affects every client Known limitation A badge change can take a while to show up in the Emby apps. The badge is drawn into the artwork on the server, and the app keeps showing the copy it has already cached until the server redraws the image and the app fetches it again. Nothing is wrong if it still looks the same shortly after an update — force-closing the app makes it drop its cached artwork and brings it forward, and a metadata refresh on the show does the same from the server end. Badges in a browser update as soon as the page is refreshed In the Emby apps, a premiere or finale badge appears on every Upcoming card of that show, not just the episode it refers to. Unaired episodes have no artwork of their own, so every card requests the same series image and the server cannot tell them apart. Only a browser can, which is why the per-episode badges are web-only To mark those episodes on TV and phone apps, the companion plugin Trakt Air Dates can put the words in front of the episode title instead EmbyTVShowStatus.dll TV-Show-Status-settings-2_5_135_0_2.pdf

but noting that significant other emby customers prefer seprated Movies and TV Shows and not fused together.....................

I'd like to be able to do this for a content rail on the homescreen: Show Movies that are 4K with a specific audio codec from a specific Genre and from a specific Studio with specific parental Rating Show TV Shows that are 4K with a specific audio codec from a specific Genre and from a specific Studio with specific parental Rating with option of sorting by Studio or Release Date example 4K Action Movies that are Dolby Atmos from 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros of 15,18,PG ratings sorted by Release Date Please could the homscreen options in the apps provide this type of filter -I think it could exist under Dynamic option there, but it needs more filtering options. thanks

Version 1.5.0 is out. Short recap for anyone new to the thread: Embeat is a native iOS/iPadOS music-only player for Emby — gapless FLAC/ALAC direct play, CarPlay, offline downloads, DLNA including Sonos, playlist management. €9.99/year, one month free, and it talks straight to your server with nothing of mine in between. Sleep timer Pick when the music should stop from the now-playing menu, and the countdown stays on screen. It counts clock time, not music: if a call interrupts you, it keeps counting. Also in this version Home refreshes itself. Favourite something from the Emby web app or another device and the phone's Home updates on its own, without restarting the app. Embeat Connect also opens from Settings, not only from the now-playing screen. Two people told me they couldn't find it, which is two more than it should have been. Playback fixes: repeat-one no longer ends in silence, the next track no longer starts where the previous one was, a cold resume starts where the progress bar says, and pausing on a speaker no longer leaves the wrong button on the lock screen. On Emby 4.10: I updated my own server the day it shipped and re-ran the checks the app relies on. Nothing changed — direct play, capped transcodes and the DLNA path all behave exactly as before. Still not there: lyrics, scrobbling to Last.fm/ListenBrainz, crossfade, ReplayGain, AirPlay/Chromecast, automatic LAN discovery, and search in the car — that last one isn't coming, because CarPlay doesn't offer audio apps a search template at all. Requirements are unchanged: iPhone or iPad, iOS/iPadOS 18.4 or later.

Embeat is on Android now I said twice in this thread that I'd post here the day the Android version was downloadable by anyone. It is: Embeat is on Google Play. It's the same app, not a port — the server, library and playback code is one shared core, so on Android you get what the iOS side has: gapless lossless playback (FLAC/ALAC direct play), Embeat Connect for DLNA speakers including Sonos, offline downloads, playlist management, a tablet layout, and Android Auto for the car. It needs Android 8.0 or later. One thing worth knowing up front: the subscription is per store. If you already pay on iOS, Google doesn't know about it — Apple and Google bill separately and neither lets me bridge that. It's €9.99/year in the euro zone; elsewhere Google Play shows the local price. What Android doesn't have yet: the sleep timer from iOS 1.5.0, and this week's Embeat Connect fixes (downloaded tracks that wouldn't play on a speaker, and tracks being skipped on some renderers). They're done and on their way; I'm not putting a date on it, because Play review times aren't up to me.

On the new homescreen options on my test Emby server, I set a new homescreen rail for: TV Shows > from specific Genre (e.g. Comedy) and from specific studio (e.g. BBC One). What I got on the rail, was comedy and drama shows. They all have XML meta files with genres defined and studio and most have embedded metadata too. If I picked just COmedy and left out Studio, I think it was correct from memory.

It's probably an LG licensing requirement of being available in their LG store for end customers i.e. want to be there then you can't provide a seprate download.

So on the LG G5, the scrolling seems to be a bit worse with 1.0.51. As soon as I go into a Music Library in FOLDERS VIEW, then go to a GENRE (Folders defined by Genre) then try and scroll DOWN the list of Artists pictures shown with remote control, the display just locks after showing initial 2/3 rows. If I click an artist that is currently shown, then press BACK key to return to list of artists, it scrolls again. As I said Music Library is not affected by this bug. Music Videos Library is defined as a Music Videos Library not Mixed Content too and all media has embedded IDv3 tags.

There are about 100 or so files affected. I suppose I could move them and re-add them that way. See if that fixes the issue.

The ATV app doesn't have such settings that I can find, but I'll play with the Android app settings. This show with the black background is only on weeknights so I have to wait The ATV app doesn't have the server-side deinterlacing enabled so I assume it's either locally done or passed through. These settings don't exist in the Android app.

Vaya, bueno esperemos si lo ponen para funcionar en las tv, estaría bien eso Muchas gracias por la info

Here are photos of the app in the appstore and from the welcome screen. No further infos available. Can you work with it? Btw no other Emby App like "Emby for Android TV" is available on this TV. Only this one.

I would try removing the movie from your storrage. Do a library scan, when that's done. Add it back, scan and see if that helps. If it does not help then dev's will need logs.
