I have now added a support article covering Hauppauge tuners and WinTV - Hauppauge Setup It is linked to from the Live TV Setup page I have also updated the Live TV Advanced Settings article DVR Settings (Live TV Advanced Settings)

I’ve used the instant payout option a few times, and it saved me a lot of waiting around. If you’re trying to clean up your inventory fast, I just go there to Sell skins and get credit or cash right away. It skips the usual trade hold, which is handy if you’re swapping loadouts or grabbing something new on the spot.

I came across this older discussion and wanted to add that a lot of people now use tools like Skraper or LaunchBox just to generate description text, then point Emby to the exported metadata files. Some frontends can output simple XML or JSON that Emby reads fine. Has anyone here tried mixing multiple scrapers to fill in the gaps Gamebrowser left?

Tried installing again this morning to replicate the error, but the install was succesful and the client works. This is the first time something like this has happened and I've been using emby for quite a few years now. Strange thing, that at first my wife tried installing it with no luck (uninstall old version -> install new from the same usb she always does), and turned the TV off. I've arrived home later, tried again, installer failed to install package. Sorry to bother you folks with this—hope you all have a nice day!

Edited to update: iso_convert.sh is part of a larger collection called the Cotignac MKV Toolkit. See updated description below. Hi again, Following my previous post about iso_convert.sh, I wanted to share that this script is actually part of a larger collection I've put together for automating my media pipeline on Synology NAS. I've named the collection Cotignac MKV Toolkit. The toolkit currently consists of six scripts, all running in Docker containers via Portainer, following the same queue-based folder structure and email notification pattern: iso_convert.sh — Converts Blu-ray ISO files to MKV using MakeMKV and MKVToolNix. As described in my previous post, it selects the correct title automatically based on duration and file size. mkv_merge.sh — Processes MKV files and handles subtitle track merging and selection. It follows a priority-based logic to ensure the preferred subtitle track ends up embedded in the final file, falling back through several options if the first choice isn't available. tv_merge.sh — A companion to mkv_merge.sh, specifically designed for TV series. It handles the same subtitle merging workflow but is built around the folder structure and naming conventions that Emby expects for episodic content. mkv_extract_srt.sh — Extracts a subtitle track in a specific language from MKV files and saves it as a standalone SRT file. It handles both individual MKV files and entire folders, moves the original file to a separate subfolder once extraction is complete, and reports any files where no matching subtitle track was found. subscan.sh — Scans an MKV library for files that contain a subtitle track in a specific language. When a match is found, the file is renamed to reflect this, making it easy to identify which files already have the desired subtitles embedded and which still need processing. mkv_autosync.sh — Automatically resynchronizes subtitle tracks that have drifted out of sync with the audio. This is particularly useful for files where commercial breaks or other edits have caused variable timing drift that a simple offset correction won't fix. It uses segment-based analysis to correct the sync across the entire file. All six scripts share the same design philosophy: drop files into a queue folder, let the script run overnight, and find the results waiting in a done folder — with an email telling you what happened. I'm happy to share any of the scripts if there's interest. Please note that as with iso_convert, all scripts are shared as-is and used entirely at your own risk. I strongly recommend always working with copies of your files rather than originals.

J'ai supprimé Simkl et Trakt. J'ai relancé le serveur et je vais juste remettre trackt. Mais depuis que j'ai supprimé la m3u, plus de souci. Mon ouverture de bibliothèque est de nouveau instantanée. ;o). Je reste en moyenne à 1gio de RAM utilisée Pour trakt, pourtant j'ai l'abo VIP premium... Je vais voir si j'ai toujours des erreurs après l'avoir réinstallé. Merci en tout cas. et bonne journée

I could mention for everyone that even though this is a stable release, there will probably be some bugs found. It’s stable in the sense that it will not break anything and all functionality is working as expected (except some bugs). I have tested all filters for the smart playlist, but when we start to combine them in weird ways and on other systems I expect some smaller issues. Thanks for all help and all bug reports!

The rules should be correct. When I’m running with the exact same filter I get positive results.. Is it the Tag or Home Screen section that ends up empty? Do you see anything in the log (enable extended log)? Thanks!

Great update, one million thanks! Plugin is now complete (at least for me)

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a setup I've built for automatically converting Blu-ray ISO files to MKV on my Synology NAS. It might be useful for others running Emby on NAS hardware. What it does The script iso_convert.sh converts Blu-ray ISO files to MKV using MakeMKV and MKVToolNix, running inside a Docker container on Synology DSM 7. It uses a simple queue-based folder structure — you drop a movie folder with an ISO file into a queue directory, start the container in Portainer, and it handles the rest. The script automatically selects the correct title from the ISO based on duration and file size, converts it to MKV, and places the result in a done folder ready for Emby to pick up. If something goes wrong, the file ends up in a failed folder with a log, and an email notification is sent either way. The folder workflow /volume1/iso/queue/ — drop your movie folder + ISO here /volume1/iso/done/ — converted MKV lands here /volume1/iso/failed/ — failed conversions with log /volume1/iso/manual/ — for anything needing manual attention Tech stack Synology NAS with DSM 7 Docker + Portainer for container management MakeMKV 1.18.3 (compiled from source inside the container) MKVToolNix for post-processing msmtp for email notifications The container runs once per job and exits (restart: no), keeping resource usage minimal A few notes The Docker image is built locally on the NAS since it compiles MakeMKV from source — the build takes about 10–15 minutes but only needs to be done once (or when MakeMKV updates). The MakeMKV beta key is passed as an environment variable in Portainer, so updating the monthly key is just a quick edit without touching the image. This fits nicely into a broader media pipeline alongside Radarr, Sonarr, and qBittorrent — ISOs get converted to MKV and land directly where Emby can import them. Disclaimer If anyone wants to use this script, please be aware that you do so entirely at your own risk. I take no responsibility for any errors, data loss, or unintended consequences that the script may cause. That said, I strongly recommend always copying your ISO file into the /queue directory rather than moving it — that way your original file is safe if anything goes wrong during conversion. Happy to answer questions if anyone wants to set something similar up.

But testing adding a genre to a multi-versioned nfo held that change after a library scan. Split the items apart and the version I modified showed the edited/added genre. Manually regrouped the items and it when back to previously not showing the added genre in UI but nfo still keep the information as Emby only shows metadata for one item when merged. I guess a complete example of what is being done would be needed for testing.

I am having an issue where shows i am watching stop playing and just exit to the tv show main page as if i stopped playing it. I look in the log and it still shows im currently watching. This has been happening every day for the past week. Happens every couple of hours.

Well this is very odd; after I had gone and collected all the screencaps I needed to log an issue, I then put the logging mode into DEBUG and restarted the server (it had been restarted multple times during troubleshooting), then the issue auto-magically went away. I then reset it back to normal logging, restarted, and verified that things are working normally again. There was 4TB of freespace on the volumn that the host and logs are present so it wasn't a diskspace issue. I'm not sure why but it is working again.

But if they are merged then you will never see different metadata. Will do some of my own testing as from a metadata standpoint metadata will always be the same for multi- versions and I would suspect version nfo would have to be locked if you want different. Sound correct? @Luke

Yes. That's why I have to edit the NFO file directly. I don't want different metadata for each version. One version has different genres to the other two and I'm trying to fix that.

Are they grouped together? Did you split them apart to allow different metadata for each version?

When I open the NFO file, it's returned to what it was before I edited it.

HI, can you please ask this question in the general section of the community? https://emby.media/community/index.php?/forum/53-generalwindows/ This will allow others to participate and see the responses. Thanks !

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

Hi there, what do you mean exactly by "can't seem to get it figured out" ?

Hi, what makes you think it "edits it back" ?

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

Hi, yes I would try removing these plugins and then see how things compare.

I checked and I found no issues. I guess, you assume the Emby settings are used for Kodi, but no. You must setup the default subtitle language in Kodi. After change, in Kodi you must restart Kodi.
