This is getting very complicated. For now I will add this to my roadmap.

Yup, have them set as Large/Extra Large, good stuff.

Thanks. Do you like the poster & thumbnails are now sized separately?

Thumb/poster badge sizes looking good now, working properly.

Done.Sorry, I'm doing so many things

So the Stephen King issue was (at least) in part my misunderstanding. i better appreciate there is a sophistication in the plugin as to wether a season status ("Complete") is in play or a Show status (Ended) is in play. Refreshing metadata/incogito / reload had no effect. What made the difference was having episodes unwatched/watched. Plugin overlay changes are immediate for me as i mark specials / episodes watched or unwatched. So for Stephen King, once the episode (it only has one episode... part1+part2 combined..dont think thats relevant) had been watched, the overlay changed from "Complete" to "Ended". So thats feels in keeping with the sophisticated design**. But this behaviour also applies to watched/unwatched specials. That feels potentially unaligned to the intention? Eg Twin Peaks with specials unwatched is "Complete" But if the specials are watched then the show status is in play and the overlay is "ended". The behaviour is frequently repeated and does not seem to have anything to do with wether the specials are marked as formal episodes in the playthrough or not. Another example ** Feedback / suggestion - Maybe the overlays would benefit from being more granular (and intentional from the admins perspective), so the admin is choosing the useful information to them (i assume different overlays can be applied to Posters vs Thumbnails?) On Show Posters the admin could choose 'Show level focused' (Watched status irrelevant) overlays Returning (possibly Next Air Date / Next Finale Date) Ended (Cancelled), On Show Thumbnails the admin could choose 'Season (Binging) level focused' (Watch status of named user inspired) overlays [Season] Complete (possibly Next Air Date / Next Finale Date) Having a different config for Thumbnails and Posters as well as potentially giving admins more control might also make having a different size setting for each more trivial? my settings { "EditorTitle": "TV Show Status Settings", "EditorDescription": "Displays TV show status badges (Returning, Ended, Cancelled) and return dates using data from TMDB.

TV Show Status 2.5.133.0 New Poster size — posters can now be sized separately from thumbnails and the web grid badge. The existing Size setting could only ever be tuned for one image shape at a time: making thumbnails smaller left posters unchanged, because a poster's badge was already at the largest size a full label could fit without running off the edge of the artwork. Poster size defaults to Medium, which reproduces exactly what posters have always shown — nothing changes until it's moved. Show cancelled as ended — cancelled shows can now read "Ended" instead of "Cancelled", with the ended colour, everywhere the badge appears (poster, library grid, Upcoming, series page). Off by default. Icon: Dot only — no text — a third option alongside Calendar and Dot. Shows a bare coloured marker with nothing else drawn around it, on posters, thumbnails, the library grid and Upcoming alike. Colour still carries the meaning, so pair it with distinct colours per state if you rely on telling states apart at a glance. Sized by the same Size / Poster size settings as every other badge, so Large or Extra large gives a bigger dot. Fixed Badges on wide thumbnails could come out noticeably larger than the equivalent badge on a poster at the same Size setting, most visible at Extra Large. Wide-image and poster sizing are now controlled by entirely separate settings, rather than trying to satisfy both shapes from one shared dial. Clarified Reworded "an episode with no still of its own" to "an episode with no picture of its own" wherever it appeared — a tester found the word "still" unclear. The Episode Image Fetchers setup step (needed for episode badges to appear on an episode that has no picture of its own) is now shown directly on the settings page, next to the setting it applies to, rather than only in this document. Added a note that on a large library, Continue Watching badges catch up gradually rather than all at once — it can take roughly a minute after turning episode badges on before every card has updated. Expected behaviour, not a fault. Known issues One tester saw a show display "Complete" instead of "Ended" on its poster. A fresh test copy of the same show showed "Ended" correctly, which points to a stale cached status on that server rather than a logic bug — a metadata refresh on the affected show should fix it, but this hasn't been confirmed back yet. If refreshing doesn't clear it, please report back with details. Notes If you've never touched Size or Poster size, nothing about how your existing badges look has changed — both default to exactly what you've already seen.

Can someone tell me what these are? My log is littered with them and almost all of them say something about credentials or config. My friendly neighborhood AI agent has the following to say about them: "The string provided represents an HTTP GET request that resembles a path traversal (directory traversal) or arbitrary file read attempt. It targets a local path (/@fs/root/...) seeking to expose sensitive configuration files or API keys (such as Anthropic API credentials)." I'm not 100% sure what that means, but it doesn't sound benign. 2026-09-12 01:20:26.736 Info Server-0HNOFSLS80CR6:00000001: http/1.1 Response 404 to host3. Time: 0ms.

I was in admin > Devices > Devices and changed the view to Table. It whacked out after that. Try edit a device or switch view mode, or even select a different admin item - the device table persists. I was also seeing the side bar menu not display after opening admin dashboard. I'd see the hamburger menu instead but clicking it wouldn't do anything.

The admin Devices > Devices page is, uh, challenging. 1) no way to search or filter the hundreds of devices 2) most of the 700 devices are the SAME DEVICE and so should not be duplicated

@GrimReaperwhat took you so long to reply? Thanks for that info.

User "home", device named INTEL, app Emby for Windows. Settings>Devices tab in the sidebar.

I'm using the web app as the admin user on a client machine. I invoke "Download to" on an item and I see this: 1) What client is this? I don't recognize it. How can I get some info on it? How can I delete this? 2) Only iOS, Android, and Windows apps supports "Download to"? @LukeThe help doc links to "Emby Windows" (2X) need to be updated.

I have audio books and music files on my Emby server in different libraries. Is there a way to choose one or the other? If I enter Continue listen there are just audio books coming up - I want to continue listen to my music where I left off

You might get lucky on certain platforms and in certain situations but they are still not officially supported right now.

And only a few types show the option.

Jellyfin is free and Emby is a paid product. Ofc. people will gravitate towards Jellyfin. I also tried Jellyfin because it was free, the lack of support for all kinds of devices was a dealbreaker though and i found Emby.

Thanx 4 your reply. Just like you i have tried most solutions out there, used Plex for years until it went off the rails. And i completely agree with your opinions. I also promote Emby whenever i can, wich is mostly when someone asks what kind of solution i use for my media or in a disscution regarding the topic. I think that this forum is the best "advertising" for Emby at the moment considering the support given from its users, especially for those who are new to Emby. I find that rare on others like it. But again, i do agree that sometimes on some forums Emby gets negativity it doesnt deserve. I mean, i pay for it, and keep paying for it, and honestly not for the premium functions that comes with paying. But to support the devs and all those pushing the buttons and making it work and keep developing it forward. And again,in my opinion youre quite right /N

Hello. I installed today the trakt plug-in 3.8.11 in my Emby 4.8.8.0. I generated a new token. I authorized it, so Emby appears correctly in Trakt as a connected application: But, Export Library to Trakt and Import playstates from Trakt.tv scheduled tasks fail... The resulting log is attached. Any clue? Thanks! Edit: My bad! I did not click "Save" afterwards in the plugin webpage. So, I did it and now the scheduled tasks work perfectly! Thank you very much for porting the solution to a new 3.8.11 version

Hi, I used every major media hosting software out there and Emby is easily the best. I'm also active on Reddit and what I've noticed is a lot of negativity towards Plex and their recent decisions, with many people jumping ship and searching for alternatives. General consensus however is that Jellyfin is the best alternative. Emby is rarely in the conversation. I find that disheartening, considering it superiority. I've tried my best to promote it whenever I can, but I think this is the perfect opportunity for Emby's team to be a bit more aggressive with their promotion.

Yesterday started watching movie recording at the start it was fine not much movement or action and then as further we watched it had ads so skipped through some and then like the picture jumps as it is not processing all the frames example a person was walking but instead of being smooth motion the person is two steps ahead but you didn’t see those two steps as it missed lot of frames in between I paused few times just to see will improve but nothing it was unwatchable then went to android tv no issue no jumps just smooth motion through the whole movie.

Hello all, I have a second residence that has its own LAN and is connected to my main residence's LAN through OpenVPN at the gateway level. That is, no single device on the LANs needs to connect to the VPN individually. Both residences are connected to their respective ISPs through reasonably fast connections (I can watch Prime Video, Pluto TV, etc. without interruption), but when I include the VPN IP address pool to the "LAN networks" list in Emby, some movies that I play on Emby (I guess the ones with better quality) are interrupted all the time and, as a result, are unwatchable. I assume that the network link through both ISPs an the VPN is too slow for the movies to play at their nominal quality. However, they play fine after I remove the VPN IP address pool from the "LAN networks" list, presumably because transcoding is then enabled. My problem is that I would still like Emby to recognize my VPN IP addresses as "trusted" to relax some restrictions, such as the fact that I need to enter the password every time I log in. In other words, I want Emby to recognize my second residence as home, just a "slower" home. But for Emby there is only one kind of "LAN" that covers both security and speed considerations. Is there a way to achieve my goal? Thank you in advance for your help. Eric
