If I disable "Allow transcoding" and disable "Allow changing of container formats" on my server, it now works in full direct play in the universal Android app exactly like it does with these enabled when played in the AndroidTV app. So the universal Android app is triggering transcoding for no good reason. In fact I also checked my phone (Pixel 8 Pro) where it transcodes by default but when disabled at the server it direct plays perfectly too. Now for the last kicker; the WebOS Emby app on my LG C9 OLED TV was transcoding this GTA6 file and stuttering terribly when doing it, but when transcoding is disabled at the server, it direct plays perfectly too on my TV's native app with perfect frame pacing. What is going on here?! Please can someone at Emby download this free video file and do some testing with your latest apps? The only one that does not trigger transcoding for no reason (as all my client devices can play it directly when transcoding is disabled) is the AndroidTV app on my Nvidia Shield Pro. This defaults to direct play when when transcoding is allowed in the server settings. Its the GTA6 Extended Look free to download here in MP4: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI/media/videos

I currently have Emby Server 4.8.10.0 installed on Ubuntu 22.04 as a native .deb package. I plan to download version 4.9.5.0 using: wget https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.9.5.0/emby-server-deb_4.9.5.0_amd64.deb After downloading the .deb, should I simply run: sudo dpkg -i emby-server-deb_4.9.5.0_amd64.deb to upgrade the existing installation?

Hi. Luke can consider but my first blush is that this would require us to provide actual image resources for a potentially HUGE number of items that don't actually exist in our database.

Hi, what you’re doing is more than the typical user so you’re in a good position already. I used to front my installation with pfSense years ago so my memory is a little hazy but apply some Snort/Suricata signatures to help detect port scans, brute force attacks as well as any other suspicious activity going on. Got to be careful how many you turn on… Would also be useful to implement ‘pfBlockerNG’ which can block ‘known’ bad IPs from various threat intelligence feeds, as well as applying geoblocks etc. As for the windows side of things, if performance and GPU transcoding aren’t at the top of your requirements you could run Ubuntu within Hyper-V on your machine, and run Emby inside that. You won’t be able to mount USB drives to it but you can always create network shares and do it that way.

Without testing - Suspect old version .nfo causing name sticking. Try removing the .nfo file, if you have them and rescaning the library.

Sure thing brother! Get back to you

Hi, quick correction to my previous message — I realized I described the issue inaccurately. The OpenSubtitles token does not expire immediately. The actual behavior is: Subtitle downloads work normally for a while. After some time, the OpenSubtitles token expires. Once it expires, Emby can no longer download subtitles at all and every request fails with invalid token. The only way to make subtitle downloads work again is to restart the Emby server, which generates a new valid token. After the restart, everything works again until the token expires once more. So the problem is not that the token is invalid from the start — it’s that Emby doesn’t seem to refresh or renew the token when it expires, forcing a full server restart each time. Just wanted to clarify the correct behavior so the issue can be diagnosed properly. I can provide logs if needed.

Hello nice plugin! Is there a way to create a trending playlist like trending lists available in TMDB/Trakt/MDBlist?

The channel's name is TF1, and it hasn't changed. However, the name of the program has changed, but that doesn't affect the problem. Initial I enhanced the recordings at 3:26 p.m. I refresh guide @LukeI send you the log directly

What change?

If you can, share the log so I can look into it.

My thought is that a change to the library you are viewing might be the variable you guys are missing in figuring out what may be causing the move back to the top.

Thank You - can you please download the embyserver.txt log and attach it - the current log should cover the time

Can you tell me what these 2 settings are in the Series Recording Settings for this

I am off on a holiday tomorrow and wanted to download some media for the plan. Alas, this problem of Downloads is occurring again for me On any media - TV show or Movie - the window to choose the quality is blank and the Download button does nothing when pressed. I have done the following to debug it ... checked that my user has download permissions on the server management pages force closed and restarted the app logged out, closed the app, restarted and logged in deleted and reinstalled the app tried on mobile data instead of WiFi confirmed that my wife can download items with no problems on her Google Pixel 8 Emby Server: Version 4.10.0.40 on Ubuntu Linux iPhone: 13 Mini iOS: 26.6.2 Over to you!

FR: the ability to use the Play button on the remote from anywhere within the spotlight while in TV mode Use case: if you quickly scroll through the items in spotlight using the arrow and stop on one you want to watch, then currently you have to scroll left two times to the Play button before clicking Enter. This would save a couple clixks Makes it consistent with the posters, etc on the Home page BTW: I can duplicate the translucent image using C11's steps

So manual recording is ok. I am using OTA local as the guide data. It did not trigger recording the series. I noticed and had to do it manually. The data is correct but I have no idea why it is stopping and recording again. Show started 30 min ago. Recording series was selected but it was just greyed out.

That settings is only for if extra training files have been given to the OCR engines. It doesn't really matter for what is being done here as long as you add the right keywords.

Should I also set it to eng+fra in the OCR settings?

@fbourgPlease quickly edit your message with the file as it's not allowed here. I should have clarified that it should have been in PM.. Sorry about that.

@fbourgAre the videos french? I don't mean just the audio but french speaking with french end credits and so on? I noticed this in your settings file: <OcrDetectionKeywords>associate producer,based on,cast,casting,cinematography,co-producer,composer,costume design,created by,credits,developed by,directed by,director of photography,editing,editor,end credits,ende,executive producer,fim,fin,fine,guest starring,music by,produced by,producer,production company,production design,screenplay,series producer,sound,special thanks,starring,story by,the end,visual effects,written by</OcrDetectionKeywords> OCR needs keywords to look for and if it doesn't find them it will fail. So you might need to add keywords like for example "histoire" and "acteurs" for it to look for. The more you add the more precise it will be. The Chroma/hash detection seems to work as it should. If audio is too different between episodes it will fail because it can't find a common sound to compare with.

I just watched the end of the episode, I think it's supposed to be like that.
