The Emby Server Synology issues with hardware transcoding and tone mapping being enabled should be resolved in 4.10.x.x which is currently available as beta. The 4.9.5 release does not have the fix

I suspect that it is some timing problem. I have an open issue on it for the development team. When the app tells the server what has been downloaded, if it passes an empty list (for some unknow reason) the server would then cancel all the download jobs and the client would purge them Is it just one download file that gets removed after it completes or all downloaded files get lost at same time? I suggest running with debug logging enabled on both the emby server and the app and the next time this happens get the client app logs and the emby server logs and give details of the device, the downloads and when they disappeared If you can provide the raw log files and IP addresses that would make it easier - you can zip and send me the zip with the details by private message

I had originally considered that, but I had previously gone through every single option setting on my LG OLED TV and found nothing at all which referenced Refresh rate. HOWEVER, upon repeating the process after reading your post, I realised that I had gone through every available option, not every option comprehensively. There was one setting which was inaccessible - called 'GAME OPTIMISER'. It turns out to access this setting, a HDMI connection had to be both selected and activated. Once I accessed it with an active HDMI Connection (my media centre) THEN the Game Optimiser options were accessible. Scrolling down the list I found an option called VRR & G-Sync, which is a setting that appears if: you have a newer model nVidia video card connected to the TV via a HDMI cable; It also turns out that the TV can detect the nVidia card even though the media centre PC is plugged into the input of a Samsung Blu-Ray Home Theater system and the LG TV is plugged into the output. Deactivating the 'VRR & G-Sync' setting on the TV did indeed result in the Refresh Rate messages disappearing. So you were correct! Thanks for the advice!

Hi I'm a bit of a luddite so please bear with me..... I use emby on a number of devices/tvs, but when using emby on my pixel tablet connected via tailscale (away from home) i find it jumps and the audio goes out of sync on shows that when watching on my home wifi On the tablet I connect via hot-spot on my phone and then to the server through Tailscale...very good/high speed internet connection I have tried emby premier and have tried selecting "enable hardware acceleration when available" but still have the issue regardless. Have tried all the normal re-starts etc

I think I know what you mean, Emby will download and save the image from the url. When you restore a backup you have to use the same drive letter. Did you reassign the old drive the give the new drive the old ones letter? If your not using drivepool I would strongly recommend it, then you can simply add your new drive to the pool and not need to backup and restore.

One thing I noticed about Moonfin is that it doesn't seem to show subtitles on LiveTV. This seemed to be true on both Emby and Jellyfin.

I downloaded emby Server beta APK from GitHub on my Android 7, but while I try to install that apk the system installer displays “There was a problem parsing the package” I checked emby server's download page and it says that emby Server supports Android 6.0+

Thanks, Android is in its final stretch — full feature parity with the iOS release, running on real devices, heading for Play review. No date promised, but it's close.

I've subscribed to this thread and put £10 in my piggy bank in anticipation

In case anyone wants to try it out, there is also a new plugin for this EmbyVision OCR (GPU Edition) and (CPU Edition). It's Version 1.0.0.0. its coded to work with the latest beta version of Emby Version 4.10.0.22 beta. EmbyVisionCredits.dll

Yes, I see that now. "Here's a polished Emby Community forum post that would fit well in the Tools & Utilities section. It explains what the project is, who it's for, and gives users enough information to get started without overwhelming them." should not be there. I have been busy working on a new plugin, just checked the forum now. It won't let me edit it twice.

Thank you for the responses. I did use the backup and restore function but unfortunately it threw everything back onto the original drive which is full. It did restore many things but for some reason I still lost my collections. Again, I’m not placing blame for that it’s just upsetting. The URL option I am talking about is when you go to change or add an image to a movie or show it gives you the option to use a local file or URL. For many I used the URL option but for some reason it did not retain those but every movie and show that I downloaded or used a personal image on my PC, It retained. This was even after using the restore function. What I mean about using IMDB is for filling in the Metadata for movies and TV shows. For movies I believe (I don’t remember which setting) it allows you to put in the code linking it to IMDB and the rest of the services but for TV shows it only allows you to use TVDB and The Movie DB. Interestingly when you click the link to test those after putting in their respective numbers, it will take you to a /movie url on the site linking it to tv wrong things rather than the /TV section. if that is confusing my next reply I’ll include a few links and pictures. Just explaining it best I can.

Update — Embeat Connect now plays to Sonos Version 1.2.0 is out. Short recap for anyone new to the thread: Embeat is a native iOS music-only player for Emby — gapless FLAC/ALAC direct play, offline downloads, DLNA, playlist management. €9.99/year, one month free, and it talks straight to your server with nothing of mine in between. Sonos, through Embeat Connect Embeat Connect (DLNA/UPnP) now finds Sonos speakers on your network and plays your library to them: queue, volume, position, and gapless across track boundaries, all driven from the phone. This took longer than I expected because a Sonos doesn't behave the way the UPnP spec suggests. It plays from its own queue rather than from the transport — which is why casting appeared to work while the Sonos app showed nothing playing — it announces itself twice under two different UDNs, and it silently ignores a stream that arrives without a Content-Length. Each of those was measured on a real speaker rather than reasoned about; every theory I had before measuring turned out to be wrong. Two limits worth knowing before you try it: Sonos accepts audio up to 48 kHz. Anything at 44.1 or 48 goes to the speaker untouched, as FLAC. Hi-res tracks are resampled by the server and streamed to the speaker as uncompressed PCM through a small proxy inside the app. There's no lossy re-encode, but it is a sample-rate conversion — I'd rather write that here than call the whole thing "lossless" and let you find out. The cap applies only on the way to the speaker. Playing on the phone itself is unchanged: direct play, whatever your files are. Playback fixes I had the audio engine independently audited and it turned up a set of real bugs, all fixed in this version: A short dropout at the start of a track, and playback failures on cellular data. Tracks that could hang while opening and never start, and a pause that could get stuck on "loading". Stream headers that weren't reaching the server on some requests. Seeking in FLAC reporting the wrong position, so the progress bar lied afterwards. Plugging in headphones mid-track could stop playback instead of switching output. Transferring to a DLNA renderer while paused could fail silently. Plus a handful of iPad interface fixes on top of the iPad support that shipped in 1.1.0. Requirements are unchanged: iPhone or iPad, iOS/iPadOS 18.4 or later. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/embeat/id6788410988 Site: https://embeat.media Bug reports and feedback: here or joan@vdata.net — I read everything. If you have a Sonos and a hi-res library, I'd particularly like to hear how it goes: that combination is the one with the most moving parts, and I've tested it on the speakers I own rather than on every model Sonos has ever shipped.

I just installed a A380 GPU via unraid, was able to get it working with Tone Mapping under 4.9.1.90 only. Took me hours to figure it all out, and I'm watching this thread for updates. Thank you.

Found it — and it's a bug on my side, not your setup. Thanks for the report, it was a good one. Embeat's iOS Info.plist allowed cleartext HTTP, but it also carried NSAllowsLocalNetworking. On iOS 10 and later that second key silently cancels the first one: App Transport Security falls back to its default and only permits cleartext to .local names and private ranges (192.168/16, 10/8, 172.16/12). Tailscale hands out addresses in 100.64.0.0/10, which iOS does not consider local — so http://100.x.y.z:8096 was blocked before it ever left the phone, while your 192.168.x.x address went through. That's exactly the asymmetry you saw, and why Safari and other clients had no trouble with the same IP. I reproduced it against my own Emby over Tailscale and the fix is in: removing that one key makes the connection work. It'll ship in the next update. Note it wasn't Tailscale-specific — any VPN, and any plain-HTTP server outside those private ranges, hit the same wall. In the meantime, if your Emby has HTTPS on 8920 with a certificate valid for a hostname you can resolve over Tailscale, that route works today.

In my library, I have two different versions of the original Star Wars trilogy. One is the original three films in their theatric version and the other are the three films with their latest updated cut with new scenes and SFX. Emby has put these films under the same heading with the versioning options. I'd prefer if they were listed separately. How do I separate them?

I would like to just say I am having the same issue here. AV1 + OPUS + mkv resulting in black screen with audio, using internal EXO player. And using non "TV" version on my TV doesn't work, as I am not having premier licence on both my server and the TV

@SamES

This looks promising. However, I just installed on my iphone and I can connect on my wifi directly to my Emby server with my local IP address but I can't get it to connect if I use my tailscale IP. This same IP works fine on the Narjo app but I wanted to take yours for a spin to see if it could work out for me. Is there any particular reason it shouldn't connect?

Yes, they are synced if you selected them -> plugin menu -> "Manage libraries".

I have created a laster version of EMBYServer 4.9.5.0 and added media in ISO, BDMV, and MKV formats to the media library. Only MKV can recognize it, but BDMV still cannot recognize and play it. same NAS same bdmv on 4.8.10.0 can play on 4.9.5.0 ffmpeg-remux-1fd7f370-e736-4d2e-b146-7b1361318d55_1.txt ffmpeg-remux-8f8b0f27-7e97-435c-8863-fe0fa3111bee_1.txt ffmpeg-remux-253c61f0-79e4-420c-9bb9-9c6664e96c05_1.txt ffmpeg-remux-c3d88536-6e46-4a34-a57f-59bce150598b_1.txt embyserver (2).txt

Yea, it won’t let me edit my post, so I’ll just have to comment again with the collection view on Apple TV. This is what I get on AppleTV As you can see, they get split by type then get usual sorting rather than just sorting properly. Ignore my question about collections sorted to top, that appears to be resolved on latest version

Well, did you enable tone mapping actually?

Hi, try opening the app on the device and see if that gets it going.
