If your friend has the emby app running on his TV then he most likely has his own emby server. Since you don't have your own you'd need to ask your friend for access to his server.

No I don’t I’m useless at this it’s all new to me I’m finding it difficult. I do have a friend who’s got emby app on his tv of his own? Do you mean that?

Do you have an emby server (separate from the app) or know someone that has provided you access to theirs?

I’m trying to put emby app on it’s saying I got to put something in space Host? Where it’s connect to server? I don’t know what to write in there? Can anybody help plz

Couple changes Updates are: Error & Maintenance banner customization w/ variables Fix to some info banner button text. (Mapped to variables season-btn-text, season-btn-text-hover) Fix for Dynamic home content media badges having an odd shadow effect. Merged the remaining couple WIP/Hotfix items into the base. (Plugin hotfixes I have in section 12, will remain there.) Also tomorrow is Easter, be sure to check out that seasonal option, and table views are now a thing of beauty. Emby Navy and Gold v4.53.css

@d00zahExactly. The appearance of played media in those sections is completely unrelated to this topic issue. I commented early about posting beta server issues in the Testing Area. This topic regarding the scrolling issue was completely isolated to a ET legacy update and is now fixed/solved. The server version (4.9.3.0 or beta) had no impact on this scrolling issue.

Hi, what's the status of this? Is there any plan to release Emby for Vega OS?

As reported in Emby homescreen not filtering played status

Warum installierst Du Emby nicht direkt auf der Syno sondern gehts den Umweg über Docker? Ich bin mir nicht sicher, aber ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass das ein Teil des Problems ist, da Docker von Syno immer hinten dran hängt und nicht alle Funktionen bietet wie wenn Du Docker z.B. auf einem Debian laufen lässt.

@latooooUnfortunately the Emby apps seems to have some problems with its websocket connections. I'm only using Kodi and never experience any problem. Please try the Dev version of the plugin with "Native Playback (Live).

@GrimReaper I would suggest that you try it out. I am Norwegian, and that is also not one of the easiest languages to translate to or from, but with Deepseek API, it is virtually flawless.. I did a lot of previous attempts, using language translation engines like NLLB-200 from Meta, which is a pure translation LLM between the 200 FLORES languages. It was easy to run locally, but was, as you mentioned, a word for word translation machine... That meant sentences like: "Hi, do you want coffee? - No, I'm good" was translated literally, but the "No, I'm good" actually mean, well.. just.. no. But with a premium LLM with 500 lines of context, it understands the flow and knows about slang, sayings, and other linguistic traps, and takes it into account, making just beautiful translations. I was flabbergasted to use a fancy word, when I first saw the outcome. I use DeepSeek, because the price is just ridiculous.. To give you a hint of the prices i have been hitting: Based on a typical 45-minute TV episode with ~600 subtitle groups. Uses worst-case pricing (no cache discount). Per episode: about 1 cent 1 episode .............. ~$0.01 1 season (10 episodes) . ~$0.10 1 series (50 episodes) . ~$0.50 100 episodes ........... ~$1 500 episodes ........... ~$5 1,000 episodes ......... ~$10 For the price of a cup of coffee you can translate over 500 episodes. A monthly Netflix subscription would cover about 1,500 episodes. ;-D Now, that is a far bit cheaper than OpenAI or Claude.. but you can of course use those in this project as well. My main use for this is actually to make it part of my Sonarr and Radarr workflow. I will have them run it on the target folder each time they transfer a movie or episode to the final destination in my library. The script will always skip files that already have a subtitle in the target language, so running the script more than once on the same folder will only resume, or pick up new files that need treatment. So if a file already have in my case norwegian subs, it will just ignore, and quit, but if it finds no norwegian, but ANY other languguage, it will extract, translate, mux.. or if not mkv, write to external .srt file.

@Paramecium302I think you are talking about what happens after a guide refresh. Currently it is what it is, because it was designed that way by me in the early days of the plugin. I've designed it so that when i was running the guide refresh daily, i was always getting the next unwatched tv show episode at the same time every day.

I have 3 main reasons why I'm looking to moving off Emby, and exploring Jellyfin. This is reason number 3. The lack of fixing this is just hugely annoying. I find the initial design of these notifications (for the home movies photo libraries) poor. Why send a single notification for each single piece of media added, if it's a home video photo library it causes mass emails. Surely people are using the media server to also host family photo video and share them remotely? Am I just the only one that would like to notify family of new media? Just curious

Why is this the default, and why can I not change this globally? I have 3 main reasons why I'm looking to moving off Emby, and exploring Jellyfin. This is the second reason. I'd like to hear from developers why such a basic function is not provided, I don't want this to be the default, why is this the default. I need to go manually through folders and subfolders to change so that the display has File Name and Runtime instead, hundreds of times. What was the thought behind locking this and giving the user no option here to globally change this. Very painful. Again, getting cookie cutter responses on fixing this functionality seems to a be a brush off; it's why initially moved away from Plex - focusing on anything else but fixing basic functionality.

@chrisrobbins1970Have you made any progress?

@hdsuisseHave you tested the new playback mode?

I would love something like that (and I never cease hoping that one day would be feasible) as it would finally get wifey off my back - unfortunately, my native language is of such complexity that simple word-for-word translation or even Ai reading context can't provide acceptable outcome based on text-input only (words, nouns, verbs - everything changes in respect who's speaking, female or male + not 2 but 3 genders), voice sample is mandatory. If you know any method to automate that, I - and the better part of regional community - would likely be eternally grateful. For reference, I've just asked Gemini few common languages gradation by difficuly.

As many of us, I am not a native english speaker, nor are many of my friends and family that use my Emby instance. Thus, I am constantly asked for subtitles for various tv-shows and movies. Now I have a VIP account on Opensubtitles.com and that is well and good, but often the subs are missing or sync is wrong. I have used AI tools both as a hobby and professionally for several years already, but until these last months, getting reliable AND cheap translations of whole movies and episodes has been a challenge.. that is .. until now. I have made a project that uses whatever llm you would like, either local, if you have some hefty hardware, or via API calls to commercial LLM's like chatgpt, claude, deepseek etc. This project has A LOT of redundancies built in, and uses batch translation to keep context, and ensure the llm understand the actual plot and handles slang and such in a good way. It is super easy to use, just edit the config files to reflect what are your target language, point the script to a folder with either a tv-series, a movie, or even a whole library, and it will go forth and find ALL embedded subtitles in mkv's extract one (there is a priority list you can use) translate it, and mux it into the mkv. For other file formats, eg. .mp4, .avi etc, it uses external files, and will translate those, and putting them back with the right language tag and filename. There is A LOT more to this, but if I can come with a simple suggestion: Use Deepseek API. It is really good for translation, and it is so cheap to use, I still can't wrap my head around it. If you need something like this, take a look at my repo, where all you need to know is, including one line installers. The project is of course fully open source, MIT license, so you can do with it what you want, and also it includes script wrappers for both powershell for use on windows, and bash scripts for use on Linux. (debian / ubuntu). One more thing, just to get it out of the way.. I take no responsibility for anything that happens by using the script. I have done all in my power to make it idiot-proof (mostly for myself :-)) but you never know what some people are capable of.. so use on your own risk..

After creating a new user profile in Kodi how do I invoke the E4K setup wizard to be able to select the proper Emby user?

Hi. I put emby on my friend's ipad and it works great with a wireguard connection using a local address direct to my network. Only problem is sometimes after a period of inactivity the wireguard connection gets out of kilter and needs to be reset. If my friend attempts to log in to emby while the WG connection is out of sorts, emby falls back to the remote SSL connection, for which my friend is not authorized. If she toggles WG off and on, then tries to log in again, emby keeps defaulting to the remote address, and she can't get in. Only by closing emby completely or restarting the ipad can she get back in when this happens. Anyway it's a bit of an inconvenience and I'm wondering if anything can be done. I'm thinking a client-side option to force local / remote would fix it, but if there's a simpler solution, that would be great too.

Hi Luke, Here are two specific examples. Example 1 Expected notification: User authenticated Time: 2026-03-31 16:38:21 What happened: user martin successfully authenticated on Martins-NAS Relevant log lines: 2026-03-31 16:38:21.873 Info UserManager: Authentication request for martin has succeeded. 2026-03-31 16:38:21.874 Debug Notifications: Sending notification to Emby Server User Notifications N8N: martin Has Authenticated on Martins-NAS Problem: I expected an outgoing webhook call here, but I do not see any matching HttpClient: POST ... line for this event, and nothing arrived at the webhook endpoint. Example 2 Expected notification: New Media Report Notification Time: 2026-03-31 16:38:59 What happened: Emby detected a newly added item and logged: 2026-03-31 16:38:59.966 Info NewMediaReportNotification - TaskNotifictionReport: Added Item Notification Message : ItemCount : 1 2026-03-31 16:38:59.967 Debug Notifications: Sending notification to Emby Server User Notifications N8N: New Media Report Notification Problem: again, I expected an outgoing webhook call, but I do not see any matching HttpClient: POST ... line for this real event, and nothing arrived at the webhook endpoint. For comparison, the test notification does work and I do see: 2026-03-31 16:38:09.849 Info HttpClient: POST http://10.20.1.24:5678/webhook/... 2026-03-31 16:38:09.988 Info HttpClient: Http response 200 ... Greetings Martin

Max resolution indeed needs a complete wipe of the cached artwork. Kodi caches the artwork directly (on demand) and is not related to the plugin (beside the compression options). I hope you didn't trigger the artwork cache manually. This forces the download immediately (not on demand). If you are familiar with Linux, you can install a sdcard/usb stick and link Kodis artwork folder to that drive. Only the artwork folder, keep everything else on the nvme internal drive. Don't use Kodi's pathsustition via advancedsettings.xml. Use linux softlinks (ln -s ...)

I use also Emby server beta version and there is no issue on my setup. I need a kodi.log for review including the freeze.
