This part is coming soon to the beta channel.

HI, apologies for the disruption. It may have been something related to the update. Beyond that, this is not normal. Do your movies have nfo files next to them?

Short answer: I can read that setting, but today I can't apply it to the remote's skip. The 10 seconds isn't a choice the app makes. Playback runs on the system player — the same one the Apple TV app uses — and the click-to-skip interval belongs to it. The public API lets me turn skipping on or off, or turn it into next/previous item, but there is no way to say "make it 25". The apps that let you pick a number are the ones that draw their own player instead, and that's the trade: their number, or the system transport bar with everything the remote already does with it. The server half is the easy half — those two lengths do come down with your user settings, in milliseconds, so reading yours costs one call. Applying them means taking the left/right press off the system player and doing the seek myself. That can be done, but the on-screen skip indicator goes with it, and that particular press has been the most fragile thing in this player so far. The other route is a jump back / jump forward button in the transport bar, next to Skip Intro: no risk, but it's not the button you're actually pressing. So it's on the list, with both halves measured, and no date from me. And thanks for going back and confirming the next-episode button — that one's closed, then.

HI, apologies for the disruption. This is not normal. Can you get it to happen again with a new collection? Do you have nfo files in your movie directories next to your movie files?

@ZamBucca1is the backup issue still happening?

They could be on an older or newer version that happens to handle your media better than the one we are on. We are due to update it again soon. We've customized exoplayer heavily to add and fix things. Maybe they've done the same. We have added software decoding with ffmpeg and maybe there are cases where it's using this even when a hardware decoder is available. This was reported recently by someone. I think you have been so heavily focused on what you think the solution is that we haven't even really looked at your problem.

That's actually an interesting point — and yes, you're right: Just Player is also based on ExoPlayer/Media3. But that makes my question even more interesting. If both Emby's internal player and Just Player are based on ExoPlayer/Media3, why does Just Player handle some media on the same Android hardware better than Emby's internal player? So perhaps my criticism of ExoPlayer itself was too broad. The issue may be less about ExoPlayer and more about how the playback stack is implemented, configured and extended by the application using it. Regarding local vs external mode: I don't necessarily mean that Emby needs two completely different playback engines. What I mean is two different playback paths: Local network: Direct File Access via SMB, where supported. Remote connection: HTTP streaming through the Emby server, with transcoding available when necessary. The same internal player could still be used for both. For me that would combine the best parts of both approaches: full Emby integration such as Skip Intro and Next Episode, while allowing capable local clients to access the original files directly instead of requiring the server's HTTP media path.

First, why should the player be different based on connection? Second, from a quick google, Just Player is built on exoplayer.

@danzigman Hi. Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares? Thanks.

@Luke No reply? I’ve got a few more questions. Why is a top-class programme like Emby paired with such a poor-quality Exoplayer? Why can’t you use other players, such as Just Player? Yes, I know you can integrate it as an external player, but then features like ‘skip intro’ and ‘next episode’ are lost. It should be possible to use the app in both a local mode and an external mode. Local mode for the internal network. External mode via the internet.

Hi. Please restrict feature requests to a single feature. This is the only way we can track them. However, I think all of your requests are either already available in the standard app or already have an existing feature request.

Please consider the following features for the Android TV app, and similar to Kodi, such as the ff. - show a small number at the bottom of the movie poster when one sees the movies in browsing mode, showing the IMDB rating (and maybe the TMBD rating if the IMDB rating's not available); - sort by IMDB rating in reverse (lowest to highest); - smart playlists (proposed several times, with some third-party workarounds like putting tags in videos) like those in Kodi, and which I think are operational in Jellyfin (which I tried using, but the library scan is slow); - show a few more details about movies when browsing playlists (smart or otherwise), like the IMDB rating, and the ability to sort playlists too by title, rating, etc.; and - settings to adjust audio, such as increasing the center speaker by x decibels, increasing the overall audio by x decibels. This will allow me to switch from Kodi with the Emby addon to the Emby app, as EmbyCon doesn't allow me to use Kodi smart playlists, and the TV storage is limited for the Emby database (lots of videos in libraries; I've to use a separate Android media box with more storage connected to the TV). Thanks.

Should be configured like that. Only enable folder trailers, no remote trailers.

Hi there, how are your files named and organized?

There is an ongoing issue with the tv show called Futurama that will not allow the show episodes to show in the server it only shows 1 episode of the season and that is it. i have tried to fix it by changing the name of the episodes several different ways and this did not fix the issue at all. can we get this issue Fixed ASAP Please.. i have also tried going to the folder within the emby server tv shows page but since there is an issue it won't show the entire season that way either.. Please fix this issue or give us a work around that works thanks. I am using the latest beta version on emby 4.10.0.31 in case you were wondering what version i am on...

The Fire TV 4k Max supports Hi10P in hardware. Both first and 2nd gen do.

I take it you've already tried this? https://emby.media/support/articles/Admin-Password-Reset.html What was the outcome?

thank you for that info speechles! I wasn't aware, but that sounds great and good call! ....and understood Luke on how to report these going forward.

@lbkBradThank you for reporting the issue. Apologies too. Roku has abandoned support for the WMA/WMAPRO codec in their latest firmwares. I have confirmed this on my devices which received that newest firmware. We can adapt to match that change. I have submitted a fix to the team for this issue. If you find any other problems, mistakes or something where it is not working correctly do not feel afraid to let us know. We appreciate this kind of post. Thanks again.

With 1.8 for the two options for channel sorting they both look the same, whether they are the exact same or they happen to be getting the same by different routes I don't know. Seem to be done by name / title. Not this (both options show this sorting) - preferred (for me anyway) -

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!
