I did this years back and after a few niggles back and forth, its o=been over a year stable on the unified client - but all my TV's are on my LAN. I commented to a friend that he was transcoding something I do not, and after comparing the playback settings, decided that he should try the unified client instead. So he installed the androidTV, then installed the Emby for Android. After config, he then got a full blue screen saying 'Unrecognised GUID format' An AI search said this was die to cache stuff being left behind, so he cleared all that n the client, and I cleared the device on the server. Then he gets a message about the ssl cert, and after clicking OK on that, he gets the guid error again. Any ideas here ? The poor guy is recovering from hospital and really needs his access to emby. Screenshots are attached. This is why it was not direct playing from the logs - 2026-06-14 16:20:44.119 Info MediaInfoService-0HNM9NFP6N551:00000005: User policy for x-MikePullan.

Si esta todo traducido ¿porque me falla a mi?, un saludo.

I maybe dreaming, but wasnt IP in the list of details before when looking Users as admin? Cant find it.

Please post a screenshot of what you filled in on that page.

Hi, While in Emby app I see User name and under that, 1. Switch Server. 2. Sign out 3. Unlock App. I can sign out, which drops me out of Emby on Shield and then selecting Emby it opens again. But don't see anywhere to remove and add back in a server.

Yes.

Not to derail this thread but I hope you know that as an Ugoos AM6b+ owner you can run the avdvplus fork of CoreELEC that would allow you to do LLDV including full FEL rendering to your non DV capable projector. This would be much better than using on the fly P7 to P8.1 conversion as that process drops the DV P7 enhancement layers. You can connect CoreELEC to your Emby library one of a few different ways, see the Kodi addons.

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to develop and maintain this amazing plugin, I'm running everything on Unraid, how can i install this and the OCR? i didn't find them or any docker compose Thanks!

That's true for collections. For people it was already added with version 4.6.

This is unrelated to whatever issue you are having with playback. Try signing out, remove the server and the add it back and sign back in again.

Hi, there's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

I have an update that may or may not shed light on the matter. I have a secondary problem where videos with AC3 tracks are silent on playback. I was going to address this later, but it occurred to me that the overwhelming majority of my TV show media have AC3 audio tracks, whereas my movies either have TrueHD Atmos or FLAC tracks. Going from my example earlier of The Addams Family, I transcoded the audio for the firs two episodes to FLAC, and lo and behold... well the audio plays finally, but I do get details of the runtime now. The problem of not getting resume points is NOT resolved as of yet... it still immediately flags the episode as watched as soon as I start it, but it also shows the audio track is AC3, which at this point it is not. I'll try to force the issue to get it to recognize the changes fully, but I'll start with this update for now.

So on android auto, nothing loads unless I start it first from my phone, so not sure of the issue

Isn't it there already?

Many times there is not art available at the usual places that Emby looks for it, but we have the correct art image files. In the Edit Metadata dialog, add a button to upload custom art.

Hi There Please does any one have unlimited credits via work or some such. Am retired now so i don't get access for free I am looking for a placeholder template video for a plugin i am making to manage coming soon movies so users know the movies coming. My current one is bit barren. coming_soon.mp4 Suggested prompt A wide-angle, eye-level shot from the perspective of a person sitting in an empty movie theatre, looking directly at the stage. The focal point is a pair of closed, vintage, textured dark red velvet theatre curtains with gold fringe occupying entire screen, the view stays in situ for the entire video. The curtains slowly open, smoothly bunching tightly to the left and right sides of the frame. Behind the curtains, a solid black background is revealed. Elegant, sparkling and glowing golden "Coming Soon" text dynamically animates onto the centre of the black screen, stays static and pauses for two seconds. The heavy velvet curtains then smoothly close back together, returning to the start position. 1080p resolution mp4, 15 seconds long. thank you

Thanks guys, checked the file and Asustor file permissions and they look fine. I still think it has to do with Emby on Shield ATV, remember when I first enter Emby it displays "Unable to connect to configure server with the (server name)" for a second or two and then disappears. I never saw this message when I ran Emby server on my old Qnap NAS. Thanks

Hello Guynamedg, ** This is an auto reply ** Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you. It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread: Thank you. Emby Team

Somehow I have ended up with Emby installed in 2 locations C:\users.....\Roaming... and also D:\Users....\Roaming... (Win 11) Probably due to this I was having a lot of issues with emby server not being able to start. So I wanted to completely uninstall and the reinstall the server. The Uninstall went as expected and uninstalled the D:\ version. I attempted to uninstall the C:\ version by going to C:\users.....\Roaming\Emby-server\System and running MediaBrowser.unistaller.exe but that produces the error "Please us 'Programs and Features' to uninstall" If I go to Apps>Installed Apps I can surprisingly, still see Emby Server, clicking uninstall gives the error message "Windows cannot find D:\users......MediaBrowser.unistaller.exe" Which makes sense because it was uninstalled. Is there a way around this loop?

My bad embyserver.txt

I would use MediaInfo app to examine the file and check the bit rate. Check it vs a 4k file that plays well.

Clear your browser cache and it should work Edit: Misunderstood you. Working on a fix!

Awesome, Thanks! Not sure if this is unique to me, but I updated the plugin, and I noticed the target user for the playlists is cut off. I can't scroll down to select my primary user:

@BarneyGumble Try the latest beta in the catalog v5.54.4 and see if that fixes the problem.
