the filenames are different. some shows are HDR 4K vs SDR 1080p. Different cuts for movies. Different cuts for shows. Different uploaders. Endless. Different libraries in Emby. I've never been able to get the existing merge functionality to play nice for on differently named files in the on the file system. the documentation is very prescriptive about naming versions the same except for the final `-Edition` part on the end, for Emby to treat it nicely. anyone using sonarr/radarr, and following Trash Guides file management standard (a large number of us I bet, as these has been the gold standard to date), will have this issue. the only reliable method for managing multiple versions I've found since moving from Plex is the "Remove Identifying..." option (found this recommended in another post on the forums). merging doesn't solve the need to keep Playstate seperate either. for example, two movies different cuts. if I watch the Theatrical, and not Directors, I don't want to mark the Directors as played. if I watch the B/W version of SpiderNoir, I don't want to mark the Colour as watched as well.

Note that the setting is for the detection of new items when the file system contents change. If you have already got the files in place, then you may need to command a scan manually to get the process rolling. (Right-click or three dot menu on the library on the home page.) Paul

Hi anyone know how to increase the Dxgrid's absolute width on the tab/page please; i can only get it to take up half the screen width on pluginUI. I see from the PluginUI SDK demo Dxgrid can be full screen in a dialogueview. But i cant find any width attribute or dxgrid/dxgridoption parameter to increase the control's absolute size on a page. I can give absolute column widths but that doesnt change the control's absolute size on a page (just increases the scrolling) thanks in anticipation.

Why would you do that? It's the same show, why don't you just merge them and select the version you want to play from multi-version dropdown?

So I finally realized this was my error; as I suspected. While I was putting together detailed information as requested by Luke I noticed that the EMBY server wasn't resolving local hostnames. I've recently implemented Pi-Hole as my DNS server and was sure that everything was correctly setup but I missed this one. Odd that the server resolved the hostname when building the library but not when trying to replay from the .strm file. I understand why the "Directory or File not found" message came but it was a bit misleading! Now everything works correctly and I can confirm that the CRLF/LF difference between Windows and Linux text files is not problem I have not removed the CR from the .strm files.

My Emby Server (Docker) is latest 4.10.0.17 beta --- My 55inch LG TV is 2018 MODEL : 55UJ632T-TA It is kind of old webOS and my Emby App version from LG Content store shows updated : 19-01-2026 (Jan) Version : 1.0.50 It is still showing subs in top left corner. Any remedies? @michaelhcan you guide me how I can sideload from .ipk file if that can fix this dreaded issue?

Exactly what I was saying. Generally people don't know about Emby, and most of them know about Jellyfin. That's why there is so many different plugins made by the community for Jellyfin, and not so much for Emby.

@SamES As you correctly stated, the TV is from 2016. With version 2.3.4, which I was using, I didn't have any problems, but with versions 2.3.8 and 2.3.9 I'm having this issue with external .ass subtitles. Here's the new log from when I reinstalled version 2.3.9 (I was using version 2.2.8 on the TV), and also the log with debugging enabled. In neither case does it show any FFmpeg logs. embyserver.txt embyserver con depuracion.txt

what you are saying is that this design is not working for anyone, in no case, it's a design issue, poorly designed. the only solution is not to use it. right? so why is it in the addon as option?

Case in point, Spider Noir exists as both B/W and Colour. It's ridiculous the solution is to remove all identifying IDs from one of the shows, to force Continue Watching to display correctly without duplicates. This results in the cleansed item no longer receiving any metadata updates for future episodes. Plex never had this issue, and this literally f**k up everything lol Why can't Continue Watching be based on the internal db id, instead of an tvdb_id? At least give us the option, along side using the tvdb_id, for those that would rather tvdb_id usage. But for those of us with only one server, and users only subbed to our server, makes no sense to use an external id as the tracker regardless. I beg of Emby, please fix this. It's making library management harder than it needs to be.

100% agree. Same thing applies to bugs submission. It's pain in the neck to look up if your not about to write next duplicate. That said it's also hard for others to find proper topic and make a vote on it. I think big part of user base having an idea or an issue doesn't realise there's actually a place to post it. Other part of the community that is aware of this had poor past experience, so might see no point of doing it again. Voting system on forum using reactions using Likes, Sads, Confuses, Agrees, Thanks is also confusing. It's not obvious. I'd be really interested in track record of feature requests and bug report for past 10 years with voting statistics and reaction and timeline of it if any. Taking transparency as success criteria - a simple, moderated page like that with short input form and easy voting system would be much more effective.

Just curious, any ETA for the next release yet?

Hi, since the recent update, playback of 4K UHD Remux files is no longer smooth on my NVIDIA Shield when audio passthrough is enabled. Before the update the same files played fine. Setup: - Emby Server: 4.9.5.0 - Client: Emby Android TV 2.1.23g - Player: ExoPlayerLib/2.18.7 - Device: NVIDIA Shield Android TV - Connection: wired LAN - File type: 4K UHD BluRay Remux, MKV, HEVC, Dolby Vision/HDR, Atmos - Example file name: Examble.German.Atmos.DL.2160p.UHD.BluRay.DV.HDR.HEVC.Remux.mkv Issue: With audio passthrough enabled, playback stutters/freezes or gets interrupted. The server log shows the client disconnecting during playback. If I disable audio passthrough, playback becomes stable, but this is not an acceptable workaround because I want to keep passthrough/Atmos and the same HDR/Dolby Vision playback behavior. The Emby on-screen playback info on the TV reports Direct Play, but the server log / PlaybackReporting plugin shows DirectStream. The server serves /emby/videos/390/original.mkv and I do not see ffmpeg video transcoding for this playback session. Observed in server log: - Emby Server Version: 4.9.5.0 - Playback start reported by app AndroidTv 2.1.23g on SHIELD - User-Agent: Emby/2.1.23g (Linux;Android 11) ExoPlayerLib/2.18.7 - Adding PlaybackInfo ... DirectStream - Original MKV is requested via /emby/videos/390/original.mkv - Repeated Range requests from the Shield - Server reports: "Response completed after client disconnected" - No ffmpeg video transcode load/error is visible Expected behavior: The file should play smoothly with audio passthrough enabled, as it did before the update. Direct Play should remain stable and should not freeze, stutter, disconnect, or unexpectedly fall back to transcoding. Additional observation: This is not limited to one movie. I have also observed similar behavior with other media files. Sometimes playback starts as Direct Play, but then Emby suddenly switches to transcoding during playback and the stream eventually stops. This did not happen before the recent update. So there may be two related issues: 1. Audio passthrough causes stuttering/freezing with 4K DV/HDR HEVC Remux files. 2. Some files that should Direct Play suddenly fall back to transcoding and then stop. Workaround: Disabling audio passthrough makes playback stable, but this is not acceptable because I want to keep passthrough/Atmos. Also, when passthrough is disabled, the playback behavior appears to change and HDR/Dolby Vision output does not look the same on my setup. Can you please check whether there was a regression in Android TV audio passthrough / ExoPlayer handling for TrueHD/Atmos with 4K Dolby Vision/HDR MKV remux files, and also whether the Direct Play to transcoding fallback behavior changed in the recent update? I can provide server logs for both cases: - Direct Play / passthrough stutter with client disconnects - Direct Play unexpectedly switching to transcoding and stopping embyserver.txt

The problem is I can't find the directory on my server. I can't find it in the file station or anywhere else.

2.2.8

Have the same issue. It takes a minut (or 2-3) before subtitles is seen. On my android decives there is no problem.

Any update on this? MacOS, iPad and iPhone play multichannel audio all fine with spatial audio on Jellyfin. It's all stereo on the Emby. I hoped it's Premiere feature but unfortunately that's not the case. Can we do something with it? Is this somewhere in the roadmap?

For those of us who run Homebrew stuff on our LG TVs already is it possible to get hold of the .IPK file to install ourselves? It doesn't appear to be part of the Emby's main GitHub.

This looks like an old 2016 K series model. I’ll have to do a test in the emulator. @MediaEmby1968I might need another log with debug logging enabled. Were there any ffmpeg logs?

Does 2.3.9 have all the latest fixes, or do we need another build?

@Luke The problem has occured again, but this time not all library icons dissapeared. I did a Library -> scan all librarys and most of the icons, both primary and miniature, dissapeard but not all. It hasnt been a problem since i did as you suggested but it seems that this overall scan "broke" it. I have no idea why this happens, the Icons are namned the same (Icon-collection-poster-Primary, and Icon-Collection-poster-landscape) so that cant be related since only some dissapears, and there isnt a "broken thumb" in the corner so the issue isnt that the file is corrupt or any folder-permissions. I have tried to use the metadata handler in the left meny and use the padlock icon on all the collection folders to see if that did anything but no luck. I have not made any changes to my collection folder, other than the tip you gave me above, and im all out of ideas.. N/

Nope. Enigma2 is special Linux with python ui. To make it available on regular Linux means to rewrite all...

BTW, which subtitle fix are you referring to?

sigh, the very fact this reply is getting upvotes speaks volumes.
