@soderlundThanks for this great plugin I waited so long to use it finally. I'm really late to the party with this great plugin since main server is on stable and finally updated to a supported version. Few questions just to make clear I understand this right. 1. I added a MDBlist as external list under Source in Tag & Collection. 2. Then I added a Tag Name for the items out of this list in my library. 3. Then I went into Top-Lists and added a list with the source by Tag and chose the tag I set up in point 2. 4. At the end I ran a full sync. 5. Library is created and shown as list with top list badge on homecreen of the selected users. Now to the questions: 1. Is this the correct way or did I overcomplicate something here? 2. Not all thumbs have the top list badge. I ran several runs and recreated the list multiple times, there are always images with no top list badge. 3. Is it usual behaviour that all items in this Companion created list do show multiversion for the video file or is there a setting I'm missing?

I'm far from an expert but I will try to help @Mister_Udid you? 1. In the HSC go to Top List 2. Create New 3. Choose how to create the list Manual or Tags (I did Tags) you will see a list and how many movies are included in the individual tag list shown 4. Select a tag / tag list 5. Select users that will have access to the list 6. Enter 50 in Max items and save it will say if it was created and successful 7. Go to user settings, home screen under display and you should see your Top List at the very bottom of the list of your Home Sections which will show on the actual Emby home page all the way at the bottom until moved

Hm, nothing was accessing / locking it i think, I was able to rename the system folder and put in the new one and i think a lock would have prevented that? But it works now, and i guess rebooting would have also worked, thanks

Something is likely keeping your system folder locked (likely some browser, FF has a particular tendency for it), try rebooting server machine.

Hey, I am having an issue where the update just doesnt work for me. I see the update, i click on it, it tells me it finished and that i have to restart, and after restarting, i am still on the old version. Edit: I was able to manually backup the old system folder and put in the new one embyserver-63924663293.txtembyserver-63924663282.txtembyserver-63924663254.txtembyserver-63924663187.txt

Hi Luke, It worked fine now, thank you!

This unexpected error was actually a good thing for me... I am now working on another fail safe for my autonomous repair system. Just wanted to make folks aware of a possible issue. Thanks for getting back Luke!

Why does anything on the local lan need to be transcoded? Did I miss something? If your hardware can't support native 4k and DoVi any reason to have those resolutions anyway? Or is that it is crappy hardware in the bathroom and glorious resolutions in the bedroom and living room? I don't know much about DoVi, tested a few, look like crap to me. Went back to 1080p. @Hoedus Well, you said... only CERTAIN files, your's looks a bad job, but again, I don't know much about DoVi files. You should consider re-ripping those certain files.

Thanks, otherwise I'm really happy with Emby. Just putting series and movies in one folder—love it.

We need some sort of token limit and monthly reset for forum posts.

First, thanks so much to the community and @yockerfor all the incredible work! Is there a list of what clients are supported for the auto skipping of the credits to function? I have been trying to get this to work for one specific show for awhile now and I see the markers were made in EmbyCredits and also listed in TimeMarkEdit. I use either Emby Windows store app for Windows 11, Chrome/Firefox browser, or older Tizen Samsung TV app. I get the Next Episode button which starts to fill but it never actually auto skips, just fills until the episode ends and then onto the next episode. I'm just trying to figure out if it's a client issue or something I have mis-configured. Thanks for any assistance! My wife falls asleep to this show every night and the credits are sooo loud and obnoxious and wake me up all the time!

Updated version 1.07b Quick update State Street Theater Theme v1.07b to fix a typo and some minor issues: Thanks to SoliFlix, for finding the extra dash typo. That sort of thing fails to show up with a online style css check. In case you have already adjusted your latest copy with some variable choices, here are the actual code changes, by line. If you are new to trying out the theme, then just take the updated version below. It may be easier, just to transfer any custom changes, you made to the new 1.07b version, rather than trying to fix 1.07. /* line 735: Remove the extra - after var (--- */ background-color: RGB(from var(--hpRow1bgcolor) r g b / 100%)!important; /* line 758: change margin-top to allow space above the title */ margin-top: -2px; /* line: near 1244 in css class style section [/* Media Page button: Play from beginning... ] This keeps the 'From Beginning' button from overlapping the area above it. */ margin-top: 12px !important; /* line 1521: Change color back to ivory #FFFFF0 and turn on textshadow */ /* Media page: And All buttons */ .button-link { color: #FFFFF0 !important; padding: 5px 4px 4px !important; text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #000; } New Feature: Near line 102: Added new variable for users to fix background shaded rows in the Admin Dashboard Log page. /* Admin dashboard log every other line background changed to darker percent so the light colored text can be better seen */ .dataGridItem:nth-child(2n) { --background-percent: 85%; /* default 85% - Emby's theme default is 2%, which is too light and washes out the text color of this theme. Hack to fix this background color. Larger percent makes a darker background for every other row in the log page. */ } Near line 1534: Added extra feature function just to hack fix the Admin Dashboard rows where the background was nearly white and washed out the text. /* Emby's theme default background transparency is - 2%. This forces that to be darker so you can read light colored text in the admin / dashboard / log page */ .dataGridItem:nth-child(2n) { background: hsl(var(--background-hue), var(--background-saturation), calc(var(--background-lightness) - var(--background-percent)))!important; } New styles: line 1530: Adjust datagrid text color to be more visible. /* Admin dashboard area log files datagrid button text */ .dataGridItemCell.dataGridItemCell-fill.dataGridItemCell-30.dataGridItemCell-fillheight > button { color: #b59e02; } line 2026: Adjust height and size of preview image in Actor's roles pop-up screen to fit better in top left area. /* Actor - pop-up for films listed of actor's history - thumbnail poster image adjustment */ .dialogItemPreviewImage-bg.dialogItemPreviewImage-bg-square { height:140px; margin-top: 38px; } v1.07b has all new example pictures! Tip: Your server will load much faster when you change the images to files, local on your server. Guide instructions has steps, how to do that. Leaving the example images from other sites in your code, will cause your media server to load slower and might even create a "slow loading error message" for everyone. Have fun!

That's fair, I realy like the Leaving Soon Stickers on Posters, i wish maintainerr had that. Keep on developing, ill check this project again in the future when it's applicable to my use case

We'll take a look at it. Thanks.

Wie es ausschaut, hat sich wohl bis jetzt immer noch keine Lösung ergeben, korrekt?

Yes it works. Maybe we can consider as a bug non ?

The jail is running 13.5, and all packages are up to date. It works fine on 4.9.3.0. Is there some new dependency?

Hi team, First of all, thank you so much for this module—it looks very promising! No matter how much I try, I can't figure out how to get it to generate a dynamic list that randomly selects 50 movies or TV shows from the local database to promote the available content. Could you please help me out?

Ya, I never thought it would easy Have read a bit about the swap and OS reactivation so I do expect some pain for sure. Current Emby system was built by me, is not an OEM Win11 Pro license, and is registered to my Microsoft account so hopefully that will make it a bit easier, hopefully. No pain, no gain as they say Cheers

OK can you please show us a specific example of when it did not show but you expected it to? Can you show a screenshot? Are you sure you actually had a multi-item queue ?

if you click save on this screen, does that help?

@ebr Interesting. I have to ask, though: why are all of these supposedly decisive technical and resource arguments only appearing now? We've been discussing this for quite some time. Initially the argument was that too few users needed Direct File Access and that its benefit was “very debatable”. Then the Android permission issue was raised. Then it became “limited resources”. Only after I specifically questioned whether restoring the feature had ever actually been assessed as requiring significant resources do we suddenly get a detailed list of additional technical and support problems. If these were the real reasons behind the decision all along, why weren't they mentioned when I originally asked why Direct File Access was no longer supported? And some of what you've now described still sounds less like an inherent problem with Direct File Access and more like limitations of Emby's current implementation. You say there is only one shared network path field and Android would require a different value from an HTPC. Fine — but that's a limitation of the current path-mapping design. It doesn't demonstrate that Direct File Access itself is a bad or prohibitively expensive feature. Likewise, Android devices clearly can access network files directly when the application provides the necessary implementation. Kodi demonstrates that every day. Whether Emby wants to implement and support that is another question entirely. I'm also not claiming that bringing back the old implementation would take another five minutes. Android has changed since then. But I do remember @rbjtech persuading you to add Direct File Access originally, and according to him the actual implementation at the time was essentially a matter of minutes. So when “limited resources” suddenly becomes the central argument years later, I think it's entirely reasonable to ask what the actual estimated development and support cost today is. Has somebody actually evaluated that? Or are we working backwards from the already-made decision that the feature isn't worth supporting and assembling the reasons why? Because those are two very different things. And “Okay, now I'm finished” doesn't make that question disappear.

Okay now I understand what you mean. But i made my plugin mainly to handle scheduled expiration directly within the Emby library/environment, so I’m keeping it independent from Radarr/Sonarr rather than adding those integrations. For a setup like yours, where the Arr apps also need to be updated when something is removed, Maintainerr would probably be the better fit. I might look into adding optional Maintainerr integration in the future, but for now, I’m keeping the plugin focused on Emby itself.

There was no media session to hold. I have never attempted, at least not recently, to play Midnights. It certainly wasn't the most recent thing I was doing with Emby. So I have no idea why it even started, or why the Emby app gave no indication anything was playing, or why my Shield gave no indication anything was playing.

Then just do that - uninstall and reinstall it! If it's really your own server and you've managed to install Emby Server by sideloading an Android apk, then this shouldn't be any problem for you.
