No one said this yet but pirating is actually easier than signing up for a subscription, we need API keys this will be the winner for the company that does this so we can enter an API key into emby and have a one stop shop.

Sad and it's a problem not for me but for them, I can spend time and get anything I want online for free and so can other people. If they sold an api for users to watch content on an emby server then I would have no reason to look through anything to download but 2026 I think the greed got worse. All the big corps need to do is sell api keys for people to enter into an emby server then they have no reason to pay app builders nor do they have the stress of hosting servers for garbage apps that dont work. I pay for a lot of apps I test apps I view and see for myself do they actually work? I form my own opinion I read the reviews I test apps it always ends the same. Apps are non working people are pissed and no one cares at the big corps. If enough people pirate they will feel it and only then will things change.

Agreed and is the reason I spent my last cent on hard drives so I own it on a hard drive. I buy 100 packs on ebay for $30 copy them to puter then resell them. I bought 40 tv series on ebay for $13 copied them all resold the dvds. If I had an api I would have no reason to buy or copy anything but the greed continues.

Brands like Disney want to control the experience. Once they have their own apps there isn’t much of a reason for them to let other apps use their content. They’re able to get enough users on their own.

Hello SigEpGX460, ** 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

I setup my Emby account but when my friend tries to invite me to his server emby is not allowing him to saying my account is not verified. I never received a verification email from Emby during setup and I can see that my account is active because I am logged in and posting to the forums. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

It's the outfit, most definitely.

Can you generate A Playlist Icon

Don't forget the whole 'you paid for it but you don't own it' scheme.

Hard to believe in 2026 that these big million and billion dollar companies still waste money on clowns that can't build an app when all they need to do is sell api keys. If they sold api keys per month they would save millions & millions and gain billions. If I had a disney api to put in emby I would be happy as can be

Just wanted to report back with results. I upgraded the plugin, but there was no change until I selected 'cinema mode' which was not activated. Once I ticked the selection box and restarted, everything was back to normal. Thanks for everyone's help!!!

Corporate greed Broken apps Ads on paid subscriptions Anyone else care to chime in

I have always been one who loves spending time reading reviews I find it interesting reading what people think of apps and what not. After using emby since day one I know what the clients want and what they don't want. Also I know that one thing may not please everyone and people will disagree with what others like it's just part of who we are. I do know that most on demand apps like hulu prime disney and loads of others especially directv are not the best when it comes to user experience like the sluggish load times the glitches and lagg and buffering all kinds of stuff. But, here's where it gets interesting, with all the big BIG companies why has none of them approached emby and suggested to use this emby platform as a one for all? Perhaps use an api from disney to load everything into an actual server that works without them spending millions on developers that make disney app bad. I just always found this interesting a server & client like emby that has been around way longer than any of the on demand apps with a fantastic reputation why has none of them approached emby asking if they will support an api for there clients to use emby? Instead of spending millions on crap coded disney app they only need to allow an api for us to run it on emby. A company like disney would save so much money and make even more money by letting people use an app that runs smooth as butter I just don't get it. Most people don't pirate content because of the cost they do it because pirated apps run better, emby is not a pirated app but it runs pirated content better than and other paid app on the market. People want stability something that works good feels good looks good its all right in front of there noses it's called EMBY MEDIA CENTER. Some companies took a gamble on plex and look how bad that turned out, no one can code at plex community and they ban users who ask for help or complain, wtf .. Who wants to be with a company like that, not me. So I was just reading comments on a big company app and loads of people saying it freezes it won't play it refuses to let them watch where they left off if at all. Why do big companies keep paying for loser coders that can't code when we have emby that works and yes the coders can code. Networks need to wake up and listen to customer base or they will tank and bankrupt.

Bump

Sorry, but I've uninstalled the android TV client and moved onto the android one as this was a significant regression I couldn't live with. Also, I'm blown away that this was able to get through your build process and the sort of reasons I left Plex.

Hi, please provide a log from the android app: Thanks.

Hi, no ETA but it is in our plans. Thanks.

Hi, thanks again for this. Unfortunately the experience is the same as it was previously.

Same problem beginning June 26th *2026* ( a week or two ago). Only seems to occur when using the universal Android app (updated to latest version) running on my Chromecast HDTV dongle. Perhaps only occurs with shows that I fully stop midstream and then resume. Sorry, I no longer have log files to upload that would illustrate the situation here, but same experience as the posters above.

I never restarted it yet because there are people watching tv and I don't want the phone to ring if I restart I don't feel like being on the phone. But yeah it today a little bit ago says there is an update so I was just thinking it might be a fix for you with your tv recordings

Any word on this addressing this pain point @Luke?

It's not a big deal by all means it works perfect it does what I need and I'm happy with the outcome whether the file size is bigger or not. Now that you have explained it I understand it so thank you very much. Emby just keeps getting better and better.

What do you mean 'again update'. How many times is it trying to update? 4.9.5.0 is the current production version. I have had 4.9.5.0 since May. The recording fix was not listed in the release notes.

Please forgive me. Next time I will try to be a better mind reader to determine what everyone means/meant and purchase Ms Chloes old 800# and charge a small fortune.

Did you just get the update prompt like me? it may be a fix for your recordings of part 1 and part 2.
