I’ve been waiting for what feels like years for a good deal on some 8tb drives, saw a seagate external drive 16tb for £299 on Amazon a few weeks back and ordered two. Took the risk they could be opened up and installed in my NAS, so far so good but warranty might be tricky to deal with. The other alternative I was going to look into was refurbished SAS drives, you’ll need a controller of course but those drives are a lot cheaper.

Not sure if actor bio's should contain more than the movies that are on Emby. No actual bio - Yet ? I have just somehow managed to highlight Movies and TV shows thumbs at the same time. Probably a one off, but while I'm nitpicking... The alphapicker down the rhs. Its a bit to the left, not down the centre, and IMHO the font is a bit big compared to eg Sort and Filter. 10 foot interface ? Doesn't seem to show images I have for genres, for example in Movies. I have thumbs, I think 16:9 but maybe not. Maybe they're not the shape/size you're expecting.

Does this mean it should already show channels in the same order they are show under Dashboard > Live TV > Channels, as I think at the moment its showing channels by channel number (which you don't actually show...). It shows two channel 3 next to each other, for example, which I'm assuming is dvb-s channel 3 and iptv channel 3.

I found how the playback_reporting plugin is doing it. Thanks

OK I think it's only an issue in mobile layouts.

Thanks for the rapid reply. I imagine its late where you are, morning here. Personally, I always like more items in Home screen rows, I up them from 16 to 128 in Firefox, for example. As mentioned the Emby app has plenty and doesn't seem to choke. Back landing thing seems to just be when going to details of an item from the Home page, so pick a movie from Latest Movies, go to details, go back and it goes to play button for highlighted item. From a library, it goes back there as well not back to TV series thumb or whichever it was. I have tags for my dvb-s channels tagged as, surprisingly dvb-s. Suspect NextPVR does that and it feeds Emby. My iptv channels aren't tagged iptv. In the emby Apple TV app I can filter for dvb-s (and others, but not for iptv - no tags for that). So, my channels are listed in the Dashboard Live TV section as a block of dvb-s then all the iptv, maybe because I get the dvb-s from NectPVR and iptv from Emby.

Thanks! Any idea if it's on the road map?

v1.5.0.0 is up. Changed: Plugin settings UI is more user friendly. Webpage now remembers password for session. Fixed: Active user counts now works correctly. Libraries where strm files are placed now correctly gets instantly scanned so files shows up. WatchPartyForEmby.dll

Tbh, to me that looks completely out of this plugin's scope - you should evaluate some other community plugins, like EmbyIcons.

Can you give me a hint as to where a notification is that could be sent to a plugin for start and stop playing?

Glad you're in @arrbee99 and thanks for writing all of that down after five minutes. That's the useful window, before you get used to anything. In order. Latest and Continue Watching being short: those are my numbers, not your server's. I capped each row when I built the screen and never checked it against a real library. I'll measure before I move it — the row also groups episodes under their series, so I want to know which of the two is making it look thin. Back landing on the top item: not intended, it should return you to the card you left from. Where does it happen — home screen, inside a library, or both? It isn't the same fix in the two places, and focus behaviour never shows up in a test, only with the remote in your hand. (There is a long press, but holding Menu belongs to the system — it's what takes you out to the Apple TV home screen — so it isn't mine to reuse.) List versus Mosaic: you were right the first time. In the mosaic, Select opens the channel and Play plays it, the same split as a poster anywhere else in the app; in the list, Select just plays. The real problem is the one you didn't quite say: from the list there's no way to reach a channel's schedule at all. That goes together with the guide. Channels grouped by source: I want that too, and sorting is the easy half. The hard half is that a channel doesn't tell me where it came from — nothing the server sends says dvb-s or iptv. So before I promise anything: does your server's own order already put them in blocks? If it does, sorting by list order is that feature already. The guide is the next thing I'm building. No date from me. On the dashboard — don't bother, that one's mine. Live playback doesn't report a session yet, so there's nothing there to show you, and the app's own playback info screen doesn't fill in for channels either. You'd have gone looking for something I never sent. Both are on the list. Which makes the line you probably thought was an aside the most useful thing in your message: every live TV measurement I have came from an M3U tuner with five channels in it. You're the first person running this on a real one.

Looks to be cleared up! Thank you guys so much for your help as always.

26.0.20 Support new folder view style in list view Add clear recently searched button (requires Emby Server 4.10.0.31+) Various right to left layout Fixes Fix live tv setup screen showing blank on first run Fix black screen for av1 in firefox

it will happen automatically. in the short term you may notice slower server performance as it builds back up, just like if you installed the server fresh.

I just deleted the specified file Luke said to I'm rebooting the server and my tv and will report back later. It'll need to repropagate right?

I'm in. Yay. Excellent. Thoughts after 5 minutes - Like the details screen a lot, way better than the Emby one, though admittedly everything I've tried is better than the Emby one. Not many items in Latest rows though, and maybe Continue Watching. The Emby app has way more (might actually be accidental, but still). Pressing back seems to end up back at the first (highlight) item a lot. I guess Apple doesn't do long press ? Live TV, List and Mosaic. List, click on an item and it plays, Mosaic, click on a channel and it gives a schedule for that channel. Seems inconsistent to me, but as I'm typing I'm thinking maybe not. Oh well. Would be nice if sorting channels by type could happen, I like to have my dvb-s channels all together followed by iptv all together. Playing dvb-s fine touch wood. Probably should have looked what it said about transcoding on the dashboard, but forgot. I know you said no guide, but if you feel the urge...

Yes we added an index to resolve the issue of recently searched items coming up slowly.

OK we'll take a look at it. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm not worried about the 404s. It's the 200s on the openapi.json and swagger.json files. 200 indicates request succeeded, so if I understand correctly, they were able to read the .json files. Idk, still have remote access disabled until I have time to check it out and I'll create a new post. Here's what it looks like in my caddy reverse proxy log: 2026-09-01 | 00:09:47 | 35.231.117.184 | 200 | GET | 2114ms | myserver.com/openapi.json 2026-09-01 | 00:09:47 | 35.231.117.184 | 200 | GET | 1697ms | myserver.com/swagger.json

Beta and release are the same right now.

yes.. like on the gif.. this scroll position is lost when item is deleted or you play the item..

is this solution beeing investigated by the team?

User fix here:

You are just getting lucky there on the order in things are refreshing/caching. There is only one image for each item.
