Whenever I switch the MacOS Emby client to "TV mode" (I can't quite recall what it's called in the menu because I can no longer get back to it), the application becomes unusable. There seems to be some sort of layering malfunction. Attached are some screenshots, it's really hard to showcase because nothing really works--I can't play a video or navigate the menu at all. Please note: This is a Mac Mini M4, but it also does the same thing on an M1 Mac Studio. Emby server: Version 4.9.5.0 MacOS version: 15.3.1

Hi @MarvinB sure my english wasn't very clear. TLDR the issues were not possible to reproduce 100% leave it with me i need to do more testing. What i do know for sure is that If you issue [or have interpreted through little fault of your own] "Alexa, stop|pause|resume" commands as opposed to "Alexa ask ear wax stop|pause|resume" commands you can find yourself in a situation where Echo A is controlling Echo B. I think i need to troublehsoot harder trying to be sure (although there is no 100% way) that the skill version of stop|pause|resume is being invoked. (And i assume the same could be the case for Emby Alexa). Any clarity that can be shed on the architecture might help but accept appetite might be limited for that until an issue is shown/reproduced.

I have been moving my numerous local drives over to a NAS raid box. I took my custom TV series "Dallas Cowboy Games" where I have all their wins from the 70s til now each in their own season folder from inside J:\TV1\NFL\ to \\NAS\Media\TV\NFL Because I have not removed the old J:\TV1\ path from my library Emby still sees it with all the custom work I did (images, dates. descriptions, etc) and it sees the \\NAS\Media\TV\NFL as "Inside the NFL" Is there anyway I can "Identify" the new location as my custom series without having to go through all that work again?

Seems to be a basic function that has long been overlooked.

Yo respondo yo probada la versión no beta y funcionando sin problema

Unfortunately, after enabling logging and debug logs, there is no option to send the logs from the Home screen or in the settings. I sent the logs to sa2000 and I will upload them here. These logs are for Google TV: Emby for Android 3.5.36 > EmbyServer 4.10.0.14 beta for my public facing EmbyServer. No longer plays movies with Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Emby for Android TV 4.9.5.0 > EmbyServer 4.10.0.14 bets for public EmbyServer Plays everything fine, but does not have the subtitle options: adjust placement or adjust timing.

I was responding to ebr's comment about Emby's 'normal use' about built-in OS integration. Maybe I misunderstood ebr?

Yes I'm aware of that setting and it's nice to have but it's also applied across all devices. I don't want my users burning through their mobile data when watching on their phones because I set Auto to 20 Mbps.

The lower x applies the execute/search permission bit to all the directories and files specified in the command. The upper X applies it to directories (needed) but only to files which already have it set for other users/levels. In other words lower x makes all files executable and upper X only does it for files which already were and ignores others, like media and metadata files. It's a cleaner and safer approach.

Admins can in newer versions of Emby force auto to be what they want it to be. With it set, you can by the power of deduction know if it is a manual setting.

Hola, poseo dos servidores un DS420 y un DS416 en los dos tengo instalado emby, hasta hace pocos días todo funcionaba perfectamente pero actual a último beta y en DS416 no se me ejecuta

Along the lines of this conversation I added my two cents for what it is worth; I want a menu item that clears all editable metadata and images without removing the item from the database. The reason I would like this is because I often add youtube videos to my emby collection and they often get misidentified as other things and I have to clear all the editable metadata and images. I generally can't be bothered to set up my own metadata manually, I just don't want my youtube videos identified as abstract movies or pornos from 1972. Thanks.

I guess you can't since this is a FR and not reality.

Where can I learn about this? The Emby docs mention plugins being required for external subtitles.

I forgot to ask what the difference is between using lower and uppercase x is…

Yes I/O can be a real problem, if you do that on a 1000/1000 connection. Then the USB interfaces transfer limit would be used by you download habit's. But none of this was disclosed to helpful users, trying to help you.

That sounds like not all episodes has been marked played.

I wanted to share something I've been experimenting with, in case it's useful for this request. It turns out that delivering the video over HLS with fMP4 (fragmented MP4) segments opens up a really nice path for these MKV HEVC HDR files on the Apple TV. Rather than transcoding (and tone-mapping) the video, the server can simply remux the MKV into fMP4 over HLS and stream-copy the HEVC video untouched — it's essentially just a container rewrite, so it's very light on the server and, importantly, it keeps the HDR intact. Here's the result on an Apple TV 4K, playing a 4K HEVC Dolby Vision (Profile 8.1) title: (Jellyfin + Custom Jellyfin Apple TV app -developed by myself-) ffmpeg … -i "….mkv" -map 0:0 -map 0:2 -map -0:s \ -codec:v:0 copy -tag:v:0 hvc1 -bsf:v hevc_mp4toannexb \ -codec:a:0 copy -f hls -hls_segment_type fmp4 … Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (copy) Stream #0:2 -> #0:1 (copy) The -codec:v:0 copy is the key part — the HEVC HDR stream is passed through as-is and plays in HDR on the TV, with no tone mapping and negligible CPU. One small thing on the client side, in case it's helpful: with a multi-variant HLS playlist (an HDR remux rendition plus an SDR fallback at the same bandwidth), the native AVPlayer tends to pick the SDR one unless the client specifically selects the VIDEO-RANGE=PQ variant. Once the client targets the HDR rendition, it plays great. So the fMP4/HLS remux route looks like a genuinely useful option here — gentle on the server and it preserves HDR on the Apple TV. Just sharing in case it helps, and happy to go into more detail. FFmpeg.Remux-2026-06-07_17-01-04_32ce8d77902368b0e4edd358b2059492_8848d63c.log

I can't reproduce what you say. Whatever I play I only see item?id and serverID= in link path. But when opening a pdf on IOS now, I see the api key in the link path and I don't see a way to stop that behavior. So I need to remove my books libraries now, don't see another option. BR

As-tu vérifié dans la box que la machine qui héberge ton serveur emby a toujours la même ip ? Il tourne sur quelle plateforme ? Windows ? Linux ? OSX ?

Le DHCP est activé sur la box

The now playing view should display the reason for the MaxStreamingBitrate= selection. If the client is using Auto it should display "Auto", if the client is using a manual quality selection it should should the quality selection (10 Mbps). With Auto Quality being broken it is helpful for admins to recognize when clients are using Auto and direct them to set a manual quality.

Hello @ginjaninja, I dont understand what you mean.. I have 2 echo dots and each one can play its own music, each dot has its own session. Help me understand the problem you are experiencing with Ear Wax Thank you

Can you please add a "Use modified date" option in the "Date added behavior for new content" menu which is located in the advanced library settings? With that option I will be able to see all modified content for all types, specially for music, as I always edit the tags or when a file is replaced by a different one, for example when I replace an MP3 file with a FLAC file, the idea is to be able to play that content directly from the "Latest" rows at home without having to search for each item:

Any more info on this? I have four Roku's working fine with my current server. But attempts to get it running on two additional Roku's are failing. The server says they log in correctly, but the Emby Roku app simply crashes/goes back to the Roku home screen 20 seconds after trying to start -- the Emby home screen never even displays.
