I find it highly ironic and amusing how half the Emby population are rampaging to the devs about how IPTV is broken and not fit for purpose… (it might be for all I know ) Then we have the other half happily re-selling their servers to the world who come here asking for help! As for Emby and advertising. I feel like it’s a battle we don’t even know what it is we are fighting for. I feel everyone who has and values their own content and wants to centrally manage it and deliver it to lots of different clients/machines locally and remote - well they will have already come across Emby. The number of people who have ripped dvds and blurays is decreasing year on year now, that bubble has kinda burst I feel, for the mainstream anyway. I’m sure there are kids who want to feel they are retro and are treating dvds like vinyl… Jellyfin - anyone going there is because of some feature that is missing here, there’s probably a good reason why Emby doesn’t have it so that will never change. Plex - they have the out of the box ‘free’ content to get people started. As well as the 3rd party integrations. That’s the draw I feel, it leads to extravagant flashy claims and screenshots. When someone looks at Emby and downloads it and they realise it’s an empty shell, that they have to fill it with content themselves - well you’ve lost them as they don’t understand the point of it. Do we as Emby want to go down that route? The first thing most of us would do is turn that crap off/disable it. The rest will feel Emby isn’t for them anymore. On the upside it would demolish plex. Honestly, I don’t know how the devs cope with competing directions they are being pulled in day-in day-out. They do an amazing job.

It would be nice if we could hide the actors for whom no picture was found. Is that possible?

Thanks Luke!

Hello, I am looking for an easy-to-use bluetooth remote control. I need, among other things, the Page Up and Page Down keys. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Seems to be a dead project

Screenshot looks great, and very promising, with the new functions!!! I'll test it out as soon as I can. Will likely be tomorrow, your time, before I can give any detailed testing feedback... stay tuned...

Try this version. v0.2 - Script renamed to better indicate function - UI reworked - Folder selection added - 2 extra modes added (Add/Replace) emby_album_tag_importer.py

That's OK, I just wanted to know exact library setup within Emby for which endpoints to use. All clear now, I should have an update within the hour.

In 4.10+ you can but other versions you can't as you can only remove access. Quick example from My Media Now this unchecked library can only be access via side Navbar or search.

No. My music library is just: \\DS218PLUS\music. In the PM the example paths are direct copy+paste from Windows and Emby. I used this code and it seems to be working - but I don't know if this is the best approach or not??? def fetch_libraries() -> list[dict]: # get top-level virtual folders data = requests.get( f"{SERVER}/emby/Library/VirtualFolders", headers=HEADERS, timeout=15 ).json() # find the main music library music_lib = next((x for x in data if x.get("CollectionType") == "music"), None) if not music_lib: return [] # fetch one level down inside that library subfolders = requests.get( f"{SERVER}/emby/Items", params={"ParentId": music_lib["ItemId"], "IncludeItemTypes": "Folder"}, headers=HEADERS, timeout=15 ).json().get("Items", []) # return: first the main library, then its subfolders return [music_lib] + subfolders

Dev would have to comment further on why there are issues with avi transcoding. I personally saw issues with avi (XVID) files a long time ago and just converted all of them to h264 mp4 so they would direct play instead of transcoding.

Are those folders added separately/individually as Music library paths?

Update was pushed, 4.9.3.28. Looks like the scrolling issue is fixed. Thanks @Luke

Hi, this should be resolved in the next update to the app. Thanks.

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

There might be some places that aren't' checking if it's in the local network.

@GrimReaper I think I may have some clues on this as well, but not 100% sure??? In Emby 4.8 you could fetch AlbumArtists, Artists and Composers via the API with standard queries. But in Emby 4.9, the same queries no longer worked and returned AlbumArtists+Artists+Composers for all three individial fetches. But, when User_ID was added to the queries, they worked again. Just mentioning in case it helps you out for anything??? As per post above, I've hidden the "All" option.

Hallo Zusammen, ich habe seit einigen Monaten das Problem, dass mit bestimmten "Chromecast Built In"-Lautsprechern keine Cast-To -Verbindung aus der Emby-Android App heraus möglich ist. -Emby-Server läuft auf Windows 11, Android Emby App auf Android Tablet und zeigt korrekt die Emby Musik-Bibliothek, welche auf Windows liegt/läuft. - Android App hat oben rechts den "Cast-To"- Button. -Habe 7 "Chromecast Built-In" -Lautsprecher , also W-Lan Lautsprecher. Somit auch diverse Lautsprecher -Gruppen. -Mit folgenden Lautsprechern stellt die Emby-App keine Cast-To Verbindung her: -Teufel Motiv Home & JBL Bommbox 3 WiFi = Antippen Cast-To-Button in Emby-App / Blauer Verbindungskreis dreht sich / Es erfolgt sogar der Bestätigungs "Klong" - Ton, aber das Cast-To-Symbol bleibt schwarz ( was ansonsten innen ja weiss wird, wenn verbunden) und er verbindet sich nicht -Mit folgenden Lautsprechern klappt es jedoch -Harman Kardon Citation 200 & Citation 300, inkl der mit diesen Lautsprechern erstellten Lautsprecher- Gruppen Auffällig ist weiterhin, dass mit folgenden Android Apps ALLE Lautsprecher die Cast-To Verbindung herstellen können (inkl. Lautsprecher-Gruppen) -Bubble-UPNP / Pulsar Music Player App Es scheint also an irgendetwas bzgl Emby zu liegn. Hat jemand eine Idee oder Erfahrung was das Problem sein könnte, oder evtl was falsches eingestellt in Emby-Server auf Windows ? Vielen Dank im voraus!!!!!

It's the filesystem sub-folder path under Music. These folders also show up in my Emby Music Folders menu tab. So for "The Beatles" it would be "Bb (a-m)" as per the PM folder structure that was sent. From your question, I think I've figured it out myself by changing the fetch_libraries() function to include sub-folders. I also changed the include_all flag from True to False to hide the "All" entry. Here are "before" and "after" screenshots examples: I don't think I broke anything because RELEASETYPE tags can be still be bulk written into Emby Album tags. Yeah, the country prefixes do cause some issues, but I guess the API is using the Sort Title??? All my Album Artists have Sort Titles, e.g. Emby will automatically remove "The" but not " The". That's why being able to import ALBUMARTISTSORT would be useful. I could perhaps try modifying system.xml but haven't gotten around to it yet: <SortRemoveWords> <string>the</string> <string>a</string> <string>an</string> <string>das</string> <string>der</string> <string>el</string> <string>la</string>

This is what I am trying to do, and seemingly have no way to do. Let a user still access a library but not see it on the home screen.

Yes it syncs themes and yes it syncs on startup but only an incremental sync, not a full sync and should only take a few seconds. If you think there is something wrong, send me a kodi.log and I'll review it.

Thanks for the update. Hope it goes well.

The rest of this post discusses making a new user just for the gym, and only having what libraries will be used while at the gym, available. That's it, that's all.

I’m confused, should “Show Login Screen” in Settings > Display > Startup Behavior bring up the user login/selection screen *every* time the app is launched, allowing a logged in user to be selected ? Maybe it is the TestFlight I’m using, but that login/selection screen doesn’t come up each launch. For me it only appears after the app has been force quit and is starting up fresh. I’ve tried resetting the setting, force quitting after, etc. Is this working for people?
