@LukeSomething that's planned a fix for?

A little more perspective... Mp3tag counts the number of unique albums in my library as 1,682. Emby puts the count at 2,321. There are many (most?) albums that are treated correctly. Not all of the problem albums are large - I just spotted a single-CD album with just five files (four from one artist and one file from that artist collaborating with one other) that emby splits into two albums.

Hi Luke, reviving this topic to ask if we could ever expect that "convoluted" subtitle structure (aka "the rarbg structure") to become recognized in Emby. I've come to realise the unusual structure of <Series>/Season 1/Subs/<Series> S01E01/English.srt makes a ton of sense when you're interested in having +3 sub languages for an episode. If you were to keep all of these in the main season folder of a 20-ep season, suddenly it gets really messy (since every language gives you +20 additional files in the same folder).

Thanks for the info on cleaning. Seems to have helped a lot but one thing I noticed is for movies as part of a numbered list are hardware to clean up. ie. Original name EN-TOP - 01. SR (1993) I can take out the EN-TOP - but then i'm still left a movie name with numbers in front of them. Using v1.4.26.0 with emby stable 4.9.3.0 What I've discovered is the information is saved but it is not always reflected right away. If I navigate to the emby dashboard and then back to the plugin page everything looks normal. I tested on a different server with 1.4.39 and I don't see that issue.

I've had some time to play around with the new home screen sections a bit over the past few weeks and found that a mix of views using tags and playlists work best. For things like Trakt and MdbList tags work best as they are universal and are the same across all users. Also list ordering is less critical as most people, I suspect, will want some variability in what they see on the list and not just the top 10 over and over. I've been using the AutoTag plugin for this. For user specific recommendations and server specific popular/trending lists, playlists are the way to go. The ordering is more important in this case and there is no way to define the order when using tags other than the title, release date, added on, etc. I don't know that there is a way to create home section via the API yet. You can copy setting manually between users though. This might be a barrier to making things completely seem less. I personally don't mind setting things up once as long as the tags and playlists continue to update.

Thanks All for reading and replying. It has given me hope that my schema "should" work and encouragement to dive deeper in search of a solution. First, I believe that there are no "rogue" tags, e.g. "Album Artist" with a space. That confidence relies heavily on mp3tag's "Extended Tags" view as well as its striping of ID3 tags, so if there are known weaknesses there my confidence may be misplaced. Again, my library is exclusively FLAC audio files. Here's what I have done to attempt to recreate the problem: Starting with one of the many large albums that show the issue, (500 Years of Organ Music, Vol.2), I isolated five short tracks performed by three different artists. Currently, these five tracks are displayed in Emby>Music>Albums as members of three different albums, all displayed as "500 Years of Organ Music, Vol.2". I copied those five files with just the following edits to each file: 1. Album name was edited to "500 Years of Organ Music, Vol.0", 2. The text "TEST_" was prepended to the "OrigTitle" tag which generates... 3. A new "Title" with "TEST_" embedded and 4. Generates a unique filename so that these can coexist with the original files in my flat-file library. 5. The "AlbumArtist" tag remains "Various Artists", The "Artist", "Composer", etc tags remain unchanged from the originals. Then, in Emby>Music>Folders and selecting the folder I did a "Scan Library Files". (drum roll...) Presto, ONE (just one) new album by "Various Artists" with all five test files and each correctly tagged with their artist - all exactly as emby is supposed to do! So, I was unable to recreate the problem in isolation. I have created two zip archives of the five files in original and edited forms if anyone would care to take a peak. Each archive is 34MB and I don't know if it's appropriate to post them here?? Thanks again for sticking with me. Apologies for the length of the posts, but my goal was to save you time asking questions.

The problem is on all devices it was fine last night then this morning the screen was like this thank you and I don’t have much clue how this all works

Since you haven't posted any troubleshooting info or provided any context, I'm going to assume you have no idea what you're doing... In that case: Is the server even running? What do the Emby server logs show? If you're using a reverse proxy, is it running? Can you access Emby from the webpage / other devices? Or is the problem just on tv? Can you access Emby on local network? Can you ping the server? Is your DNS server/provider working? If you've using domain name to connect, are the DNS records correct? Honestly, if you just go to chatgpt.com and tell it your emby server is not working it, it would guide you through the process of debugging. The answers on these forums will not be any different.

Emby has a portmapper plugin that utilizes Upnp to automagically take care of port forwarding. Tech Savvy people have this disabled and turned off and "manually" handle ports. Since you haven't really explained your environment (from what I can read) and honestly, don't know much about eero what their web interface looks like for port forwarding its difficult to assist. If you goto whatsmyip.org from a laptop or computer and display the first 2 octects of your ip, we can tell if you are behind CGNAT or not. I would never take the ISP word for it as generally fist level support don't even know what that means. By first 2 octects I mean EXAMPLE your ip is XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX so if the first two are the first two XXX.XXX again Example, if you have 10.xxx or 172.xxx or 192.xxx you are definitely behind CGNAT. If you have let's say 99.xxx you have a public IP. your INTERNAL network will most likely always be 10, 172 or 192. The idea is to port forward all incoming requests from EXTERNAL 99.xxx port 8096 to INTERNAL 192.xxx Thats the first step.

Now I have read 5000 dvd.iso files into Emby after testing for a couple of weeks. The dvd.iso files where there are several subtitles to choose from, there is something wrong with the subtitles' font. Is it possible to modify your ISO mounter/player so that the subtitles' font is easier to read? Photo 4 + 6 = good font to read photo 5+7 = bad font to read it is the same on a windows computer and on the Samsung TV

I'm just testing out some of the functionality and so far it's been very positive, a great project so well done! One query I have is, what if there is a scenario where you don't want to enter the upstream credentials and only want to use dispatcharr? I've entered my dispatcharr account in the initial Connection Settings but I have not enabled the dispatcharr integration. Does the plug-in know I am using a dispatcharr server so I get those benefits, or am I not using this as designed? Just for info, if I do enable the dispatcharr integration and I enter the same credentials the connection test fails with "✗ Login failed (HTTP 401). Response: {"detail":"No active account found with the given credentials"}"

Awesome! just sent you a PM, bought a lifetime a while ago

@CorruptedMinds request limits are reset on the first of each month, if u hit the limit already u can contact us and we can reset the counter for ur key, we can do this sometimes just not too frequently

When does the API key renew if you hit the api key limit for the month?

And what about the subtitle positioning error? What's the status of that?

Could it be possible to open the web app with CSS on Android TV. As ann app so it works with remote? Or will this just don't work, because of video players etc that is needed? Like, on my PC I install Emby as an Chrome app. I know that is not as simple in Android. But isn't many apps just web apps or what it is called?

Perhaps your transcoding temp location was full...?

Hrm. The files were properly tagged - looks like the bug was occurring even for files that haven't changed in years. ffprobe showed correct metadata both for old files and the new files I added. I have used the same beets & picard config a long time with no real changes. Anyway, I was able to get this to work by upgrading to the 4.10.0.4 beta and then simply doing a complete "Refresh Metadata" on the music library with no other underlying files or configuration changes. I guess it's probably a latent upgrade bug somewhere... But it's resolved for now and I can't recreate it.

+1 for adding this to Emby!

I use checked and it is working correctly. Thank you so much for your efforts in getting this schedule corrected. This is real service!

@Apotropaic Will do,thanx!

Maybe a fluke, maybe related but restarting the Emby server app did not help but a complete restart of my physical server seems to have cleared the issue for recording completed after the restart. The recordings made before the restart still did not work. @LukeWhat I saw was the "No compatible Streams Available" message on Roku but did play fine on the PC through the web app. Thanks guys.

It was there yesterday, but gone now

Came here to reawaken this thread. I'm having the same issue on a Pixel 8 Pro. I'm always having problems in a dark room. To the point that it's unbearable for us to watch a movie in bed. The brightness setting between 0/100 and 1/100 is just out of control. 0 is too dark and 1 is too bright. It doesn't get any brighter beyond 40. Meaning between 40 and 100, it's the same level of brightness, i.e. the highest brightness. On my OnePlus Pad 2 tablet though, everything works perfectly The setting of 10 is nice in a dark room and it increases all the way up to 100 neatly and evenly. Maybe it's just a problem with Google Pixel phones?
