Yes, as soon as you open ports in your router and firewalls, you open up another attack vector. And that has nothing to do with Emby, its for any program you want to use remote.

worked after few hours again. don't know what the problem was

We were able to set up port forwarding and the external connections are working now. Thank you! Is our network any more vulnerable to hackers or malware with the port forwarding?

I see the android TV app was updated a few days ago on my Sony Tv. Not sure of all formats and combos, but for the few files I tried, they were av1 with opus. The audio would transcode (whereas I don't think it did this before the update) and you get a black screen with audio only. The server logs showed: Emby Server version: 4.9.5.0 Operating system: Unix 6.1.0.37 Command Line: /home/programs/opt/emby-server/system/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /home/programs/emby_data -ffdetect /opt/emby-server/bin/ffdetect -ffmpeg /opt/emby-server/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /opt/emby-server/bin/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3 -updatepackage emby-server-deb_{version}_amd64.deb App: AndroidTv 2.1.51g Family Room TV User-Agent: Emby/2.1.51g (Linux;Android 12) ExoPlayerLib/2.18.7 With the transcode info: 14:00:14.879 Metadata: 14:00:14.879 AB_AV1_FFMPEG_ARGS: -c:v libsvtav1 -crf 29.75 -preset 4 14:00:14.880 ENCODER : Lavf62.15.100 14:00:14.880 Duration: 01:08:49.14, start: -0.007000, bitrate: 1623 kb/s 14:00:14.881 Stream #0:0: Video: av1 (Main), yuv420p10le(tv, progressive), 1920x1036, SAR 1:1 DAR 480:259, Level 8, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn (default) 14:00:14.882 Metadata: 14:00:14.884 DURATION : 01:08:49.084000000 14:00:14.884 Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, Start-Time -0.007s (default) 14:00:14.884 Metadata: 14:00:14.884 title : English DTS 5.1 chnls 768 kbps 14:00:14.884 ENCODER : Lavc62.31.100 libopus 14:00:14.885 DURATION : 01:08:49.137000000 14:00:14.886 Stream mapping: 14:00:14.886 Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (copy) 14:00:14.886 Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (opus (native) -> aac (native)) What exactly was changed in the newest version?

This is a general help question for how to debug plugins. I am enhancing the statistics plugin, mainly as a learning experience (I am adding the Dolby Vision profile so I can easily find those with DV10 that cause problems for some of my users) Im running on my local machine with minimal media, so it can run quickly. Setup: Windows 11 Visual Studio 2026 Emby: 4.9.5.0 On the server I have debug logging enabled My general flow: Build the dll Stop the server copy the dll to the plugins directory Sometimes I delete the configuration file, but doing so does not change start the server This also launches chrome to the servers page I confirm in the log that the plugin is getting loaded Got to the scheduled tasks, run the statistics task to generate the necessary information Go to the statistics configuration page, but the page is out of date. The data does update, but the HTML itself is out of date. I click refresh, and I click "force refresh ctrl-f5", I have run in incognito mode. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Is there a whitepaper on debugging plugins? Or developing plugins? Any help would be most appreciated. TIA Scott

lo probare amigo yo tengo algunos podcast locales que ocupo como audiolibros y siempre tengo problemas con las portadas vere si este funciona y le comento

If my library didn't take so long to rebuild, I would have clean installed a version previous to 4.1.9.80 (or switched to Jellyfin) a long time ago. I also tried adding those indexes to my database which did not work out. Is there REALLY no way we can't just revert this change??? I understand people have been requesting fuzzy search but I would think a stable search would take precedence.

You may not know, but there is a new version available for Steam Deck. It doesn't work in Gaming Mode very well though. It does work in Desktop mode though. https://emby.media/support/articles/misc/downloads/Emby-Pkg-Installer.html

Hi, yes this is true. Many of the same functions for video are used with music as well. We try to keep the docs as up to date as possible but things move quickly and occasionally they fall behind. Thanks for pointing this out. @sa2000

the <id> is retained as backward compatible layer and i personally have no power over all tools that write nfo files. Mate, Whether you want to fix this simple bug is up to you i am done arguing about it. Thanks for considering it.

right but it should just ignore and stop writing the id node altogether.

I can +1 this since I have seen it happen but it doesn't always happen. I have logs enabled on the device but keep forgetting to check them when it happens. I don't think FancyLED is related, and I'm doubting CEC plays a role either.

I am seeing an unusual playback issue with Emby on an NVIDIA Shield. Environment - Client device: NVIDIA Shield - Emby for Android version: 3.5.36 - Emby Server version: 4.9.5.0 - FancyLED is installed and HDMI-CEC is enabled Issue: When I pause a movie or TV episode and step away for several minutes, the NVIDIA Shield idle/screensaver background eventually appears. At some point, I can hear the paused content playing again, but the Shield screensaver remains visible on top of Emby. When I press the Back button to dismiss the Shield screensaver, Emby becomes visible and the movie or episode is actively playing. The sequence appears to be: 1. Content is paused in Emby. 2. The NVIDIA Shield screensaver starts after several minutes. 3. Emby playback resumes while the screensaver is still displayed. 4. Audio can be heard, but the video remains hidden behind the screensaver. 5. Pressing Back dismisses the screensaver and reveals the content playing. I have not yet performed troubleshooting because I would first like to determine whether this is a known issue or expected behavior. Could the developers confirm: - Whether Emby for Android should prevent playback from resuming while the Shield screensaver is active. - Whether there is a known issue involving pause state, Android activity lifecycle, or screensaver handling on the NVIDIA Shield. - Whether Emby could be receiving an unintended playback-resume command through HDMI-CEC. - Whether server or client logs would identify what triggered playback to resume. - Which logs or diagnostic information I should collect before reproducing the issue. FancyLED and HDMI-CEC may be involved, but I do not yet know whether the resume event is coming from Emby, the Shield, the television, or another HDMI-CEC device.

I guess I will wait then, must be close to release now right, right...?

I am not sure what you mean by both sides, radarr for example write tmdb as <id> and set defualt tag on uniqueid see <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <movie> <title>Zootopia</title> <originaltitle>Zootopia</originaltitle> <sorttitle>zootopia</sorttitle> <ratings> <rating name="imdb" max="10" default="true"> <value>8</value> <votes>642365</votes> </rating> <rating name="themoviedb" max="10"> <value>7.765</value> <votes>18281</votes> </rating> <rating name="tomatometerallcritics" max="100"> <value>98</value> </rating> </ratings> <rating>7.765</rating> <criticrating>98</criticrating> <userrating /> <top250 /> <outline /> <plot>Determined to prove herself, Officer Judy Hopps, the first bunny on Zootopia's police force, jumps at the chance to crack her first case - even if it means partnering with scam-artist fox Nick Wilde to solve the mystery.</plot> <tagline /> <runtime>109</runtime> ... <mpaa>PG</mpaa> <playcount /> <lastplayed /> <id>269149</id> <uniqueid type="tmdb" default="true">269149</uniqueid> <uniqueid type="imdb">tt2948356</uniqueid> <genre>Animation</genre> <genre>Adventure</genre> <genre>Family</genre> <genre>Comedy</genre> <country /> <set tmdbcolid="1084247"> <name>Zootopia Collection</name> <overview /> </set> <tag>movie</tag> <status>Released</status> <credits>Jared Bush</credits> <credits>Phil Johnston</credits> <director>Byron Howard</director> <director>Rich Moore</director> <premiered>2016-02-11</premiered> <year>2016</year> <studio>Walt Disney Animation Studios</studio> <trailer>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=jWM0ct-OLsM</trailer> <watched>false</watched> ... </movie> any mediaserver implementing nfo spec should respect the default tag on uniqueid

Hi. And also, please, what time did that occur? I mean what time on the clock so that we can look in the log at the proper place. Thanks.

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

Can you give me a specific one? I need to know what I’m looking for in the log. Thanks

Usually a native package will perform better and will be easier to integrate with hardware features.

Hi, we’ll take a look at it. Thanks:

OK let us know how things go, thanks.

Hi, can you try remuxing a new version of this file using mkvtoolnix and see how that compares? Thanks.

Hi, right now the only way to play them in the installed app is to install a book reading app that registers with the device as capable of reading that format. Then the Emby app will try to launch it.

Hi, we are looking into it. Thanks.

Hey, huge thanks for your continuous work on EmbyForKodi - really appreciate the awesome addon! I bumped into a small issue and wanted to check if there's any chance to fix this: When a movie is added via a .strm file and i have an external audio track (like an .mka file) in the same folder, Kodi doesn't display or offer that external track for selection. Normal Emby clients detect and play the external .mka tracks just fine. Also, with regular .mkv files, EmbyForKodi passes the external audio tracks to Kodi without any issues. So it seems to be specifically happening with .strm files. I know it’s a very specific and niche issue, but it would be awesome if you could look into this whenever you have time. Thanks again for your great work!
