In practice the choice matters less for what plays natively and more for what doesn't. Native player – Goes through AVFoundation, so decoding is done by the Apple TV hardware and it's the only path that can output HEVC HDR/Dolby Vision properly. The weak point is the streaming/buffering side: with high-bitrate content it's not very efficient and it's fairly easy to run into buffering, even on direct play. It's also limited to containers and protocols AVFoundation understands. MKV isn't one of them, and since Emby doesn't currently support HLS with fMP4 segments, MKV content can't simply be remuxed into something the native player accepts — it ends up being transcoded instead. That's why in practice pretty much all HEVC HDR content gets transcoded. MPV player – Handles almost any container, so it avoids the container-driven transcodes and generally holds a stream better. The trade-off is HDR: MPV tone-maps the picture itself rather than passing HEVC HDR through to the Apple TV's own decode/display pipeline, so you don't get true HDR output. Auto – Emby decides per item: it uses the native player when the stream is something AVFoundation can direct play, and falls back to MPV when it isn't. So "Auto" doesn't mean "always native" even if all your content is H.264/H.265 — the container and the HDR metadata matter as much as the codec. To be fair, the MPV implementation on Apple TV has improved a lot over the last releases. But Dolby Vision is still problematic, as you can see from various threads on this forum. Since DV is a proprietary format, the only real solution there is to let the native player handle it — which brings us back to the same thing: support for HLS with fMP4 and remuxing, so the Apple TV could play HEVC HDR and DV natively without transcoding. That's not possible today

Well it's basically a flash on any device. It took me many many times on one of my phones just to figure out what it even said on the popup. But it's still annoying as fuck, even a 1 second flash of some sort of popup ain't good. I've never seen anything like that ever.

Dread, Perhaps you already are aware that Emby will work just fine and securely, using an IP address and you would not need to get a SSL setup. Any users needing remote access would just use the IP remote address with their user name and password, instead of a domain name address. You could run Emby for as long as you like, using the IP address for remote access. Hope that helps.

Hi. For us to "include" SSL setup, we'd have to take control of your connection to your own server and then we'd own your SSL connection, not you. We are focused on allowing you to truly control your own server and connection to it and that does require a bit more knowledge and setup than just letting someone else do it. We have guides and many folks out here who would gladly help you through that process if you want to take it on in the future.

In the upcoming days I will likely release another version of EmbyVision Credits. Changes include: New UI improvements. Some Compatibility updates. No detection fixes required. EmbyVision Credits is fully functional, and It is all caught up on my credit detections. I have a schedule set to run it daily, on average it takes a minute or two to catch up and credits are preserved though library scans and they will persist even if by a small chance Emby needed to be reinstalled. So progress is never lost. This is the new UI for upcoming v1.0.0.3 release. as time permits I will work on it and package it up when ready! v1.0.0.3 EmbyVision Credits.mp4

I normally set it to Auto, but would think Native would be more efficient (all my content is either H.264 or H.265 which are all native). What advantages/disadvantages the MVP player have vs the Native player, and how does the Auto setting work?

Yeah, I can see that. Personally, I always separate my movie and TV content in separate rows.

Hi. If you mean you want this to be another special, you can just put it in a "specials" folder.

Hi All, I have recently bought the UGREEN DXP6800 Pro and I’m having issues getting Emby working. I’m installing this image in docker https://hub.docker.com/r/emby/embyserver I’m clearly doing something wrong as my Synology build is rock solid and this is all over the place. Do we have a docker install guide for the UGREEN until the native application is released? It doesn’t matter what method i use i still get issues with the server not creating LibraryMonitor for my media libraries even though Emby has RW permissions. Cheers, Chris embyserver.txt

But then you'd have a combo of thumbs (basically episode screengrabs, which I know some users would prefer but I'd find it abhorrent in CW row) and posters (movies) - never a good combo IMHO, I'm sucker for consistency. I like having series thumb in CW row, as it gives proper distinction and certain flair. I just wanted episode overlays on those. Now I have them and it looks great.

Limited power and limited audio/video support. For streaming services, I'm sure it provides everything needed but for streaming your own content, you may run into some of those limitations (more transcoding and/or remuxing needed).

Hi. Do you have a fresh example with the latest version of the app? The last set had some very strange file access issues on your server. Make sure it has adequate temp space as well.

New version has an awesome new feature that lets you combine two subtitles/two languages to display them simultaneously. This is great for me because my wife and I have different first languages. I tested it out watching a movie that was mostly in English but many parts were in Chinese so I combined Spanish and forced English so my wife could have Spanish subs for everything and when they spoke Chinese English subs appear for me. It’s not perfect but definitely very useful.

Thanks Ebr. I am curious to what the limitations are with this device.

Accessing YT content outside of their published and approved channels is against their ToS and is stealing. How do you think YT makes money (and pays all those content creators)? They do so via advertising and, when you circumvent that, you are cutting off the revenue not just to YT but to the actual creators. In addition, IMDb and RT data is not free. Once again, these are businesses and they sell access to this data. If this app is actually paying the subscription prices for this data then I stand corrected on this point but I've not seen evidence of that and I'd be very surprised if it is the case (both are quite expensive). Finally, any direct integration with content-acquisition systems is just something we cannot allow.

I would like to see this minor change as explained below for extras: For example, Deleted Scenes-This works great. You have a TV show episode and add "-deleted" to the end of the file, it shows up as "Deleted Scenes" underneath the TV episode as an extra Audio Commentaries- **change request**-If you have an episode and add "-audio commentary" to the end of file, it shows up as a separate version in the pull down menu. -If you add"-audio commentary-featurette" to the file name, it shows up exactly like that "audio commentary-featurette." What I would prefer is that it puts the audio commentary below the episode and drops the "-featurette" part.

Hi. There are limitations to the device itself but we run just fine on it.

Yes, it is the newest Fire TV stick on the Vega OS platform. I was just wondering if there are any limitations for Emby on this device or does it function as well as for other streaming devices.

Not only I'm a lifetime owner, I have been for a while (I remember MB3 and dealing with codex). I'm excited to read between the lines at the new Home Screen. That to me sounds exciting, hopefully it will give us much flexibility. Keep up the good work

Hey guys I see you love this service and everything. That's great to each his own. I was looking forward to using it as well I just found out the crazy stuff you have to do to get SSL certified so I tried to get a refund I had the service for about 3 hours and immediately canceled my subscription and requested a refund. They simply said you should know I guess basically by sending me a article on how to set up the server to me that is way too difficult for somebody to have to go through if they don't want to considering I just had no idea that I would have to do that thought by now that would be just included if you had to pay. My question is how good is the customer support about that kind of stuff cuz I may come back someday you never know.

Please go through the document I linked. You need to set up port forwarding on your router.

I still think that, if you choose "Primary" for the image type in a CW row, you should get the primary image of the actual item (the episode) not of its parent. Thumbs are a special case exactly because episodes don't have thumbs.

Just tried canyouseeme.org again, and it pre-populated with the IP address shown on the Emby dashboard (for remote access), but shows port 80 - this worked fine and confirmed the port was not blocked. But the port number on Emby dashboard is the default 8096 - if I enter that port number in canyouseeme, it cannot see the service and times out. My router does have something called NAT enabled but I've no idea what this is.
