It shouldn't be treated as a single season as specials are not part of the seasons themselves but are separate. Anyway I can always set to "always show folders" The main issue of this post is the extremely poor performance of emby after 4.8, the lag is horrendous

@XDavidT You are starting a VirtualTV live tv channel on your Sony Bravia Android TV: 2026-07-06 10:59:35.723 Info SessionManager: Playback start reported by app Emby for Android 3.5.36 on Living Room TV playing סרטים ישראליים.

PlaySessionId: 1d5600bc29594e57ac9c60762195d82d.

The questions is what is the problem with the Emby app? Maybe it's a problem specific to the Sony TV? What you can try and i've already told you that, start live tv playback from the guide instead of the live tv home page! Also just for testing, if it's active in your Emby app, disable refresh rate switching.

Hello, I'm having an issue connecting the Trakt plugin to my account. Environment Emby Server: 4.9.5.0 Trakt Plugin: 3.8.2 Device: Freebox Player Pop Android 10 .NET 8 Issue When I open the Trakt settings, the plugin displays an authorization PIN. I go to https://trakt.tv/activate, enter the PIN, and Trakt accepts it successfully. However, Emby never finishes the authentication. The plugin remains on "Enter PIN" with the loading indicator indefinitely. The Emby application never appears under my authorized applications on Trakt. What I have already tried Updated the plugin to 3.8.2. Restarted Emby Server. Generated several new PIN codes. Entered the PIN manually (no copy/paste). Disabled the firewall for testing. Waited for a long time (over an hour). Removed previous Trakt authorizations. The behavior is always the same. Log The only Trakt-related log entries I can find are: Info BaseItem: Updating trakt user, reset pin info: True After that, there are no OAuth or api.trakt.tv entries in the server log. The only recurring errors are unrelated UPnP errors: UPnPError 606 PortMapper: Error creating port map These appear to be unrelated to Trakt authentication. Question Is this a known issue with the Trakt plugin on Android / Freebox Player Pop? Is there any additional logging that can be enabled to troubleshoot why the OAuth exchange never completes? Thank you.

I think the difference is more related to a fresh install then the version.

Also are all windows updates installed?

Hi, what exactly do you by can’t get server to work?

No, you're not doing something stupid. It's probably a bug in the web UI. Can you try accessing your server via the latest web ui from https://app.emby.media/ ?

I'm through with this platform it doesn't work all of a sudden, I've downloaded and installed .NET as it directed me to, but alas I can't get my server to work. Maybe I'll check Jellyfin? I was actually going to buy the lifetime but not now I'll go another route. Best of it won't let me remove what is still in my PC haha

Thanks a lot. I really hope that you're capable to improve performance on 4.9 or 4.10 otherwise I will not be able to move from here.

I will test it.

Yeah, beta... but it'll be fine

Spotlight needs work too, most of the images get cut off

I really like the native client; it’s very user-friendly and, with the new Spotlight feature, the home screen looks great too – it’s just the detail pages that could do with a revamp. It does indeed look very modern in Infuse.

If you're using Apple TV, you should check out Infuse app to access Emby. Last time i checked it’s the nicest, sleekest Emby client that exists by a long mile for Apple TV or iphone. Not only that, but you can combine multiple emby servers into a single view (so everything appears as 1 library).

Sorry for the double post but I had an additional observation to share that may be relevant. When I set up the library, I choose "Perfectly organized into author\books folders" and then EMBY promptly ignored my choice and the effort I put into organizing my folder and used meta data instead. Since the top-level of my "Audio Books" folder are the authors names, I expected to see these and nothing else when choosing "Authors". Instead, I see every name that is in the meta data (with all if not most of the extras being the names of voice actors) So, I suppose the question is: should the meta data be used at all when folders are "perfectly organized"?

Pues que la portada en en cada biblioteca salen sin carátulas y sin estar ordenados como realmente lo último. Y me meto en la biblioteca y si están las carátulas. Muy raro. lo del .nfo si está marcado. ya no se que hacer

I think Emby, should use the strengths of each OS. Hopefully they use Liquid Glass or at least make it more modern

Yours looks fine i agree, you have a back button after selecting a file. The plugin demo 1 exhibits the behaviour i am seeing in this video same as my plugins Targeting 4.9.1.90 (latest stable on nuget for mediabrowser.server.core) 2026-07-06 20-46-04.mp4 im starting to fear im doing something stoopid. but heres the video so you at least know what im talking about.

I was using Disney+ recently and they have a feature I never realized I needed. There is an open to turn the subtitles/closed caption on, off, and on rewind. I mainly use subtitles for when I miss something, so I end up rewinding, turn the subtitles on, then back off. The way it works in Disney+ is when you rewind, it turns the subtitles on for a few seconds. It's a great feature that I hope starts to become standard everywhere.

I mean hitting stop/back in Roku where the result is I'm taken back to the Emby app, not the home screen.

@user24 I agree with GrimReaper's comments. <high-five> @GrimReaperPlease let us know your findings after reviewing logs and ... Thank you!

Yes, and the target mka plays immediately when placed directly in the the theme-music dir

That was a nice line of thought. And if that is truly the case (your test strongly indicates it is), it should absolutely not be happening, polluting one library with content from another - regardless of metadata - is utterly unacceptable, under no conditions. @Luke

Just checked the Plex and JF integration, PleNx is a fork of the JF app Switchfin, should be possible to add API support for Emby. Other than that, it needs a hacked Switch with homebrew, unfortunately not native.

I do have local network access granted. The issue is only when accessing through Tailscale. When I'm connected to WiFi at home, music plays with no issues. When I'm connected through Tailscale but access Emby through the Safari browser the music plays fine. It's just when accessing through the iOS app the music will not play and just rapidly moves through the playlist.
