Before you dig anything up, here's what I think is going on - it'll make the requests below make sense, and I suspect a lot of it comes down to how the Games library itself is set up. How ROMote decides what's what: it reads the ROM file's extension (NES = .nes, SNES = .sfc/.smc, N64 = .z64) and tags each game with its console. When it recognizes a file, that console shows up under ROMote's proper name. When it doesn't, Emby's built-in scanner lists the file instead and just labels it by its folder. You can actually see that split in your Systems view: "Nintendo Entertainment System", "Nintendo 64", and "Atari 2600" are ROMote's names - it recognized those. But "SNES" and that stray "roms" tile are folder names, which means those files came in through Emby's generic scanner and ROMote never tagged them. That's exactly the SNES "Unknown platform" error: no console tag, so Play has nothing to launch. The NES "only shows from S" is likely a separate issue - a clean alphabetical cutoff like that usually points to a scan that didn't finish, or a display/sort quirk, rather than file types. Since both of these come down to what Emby is scanning and how ROMote sees it, a few things would let me pin it all down in one shot: 1. Library settings - Dashboard > Library > your Games library > Edit. A screenshot showing the Content Type (should be "Games") and the folder path(s) it points at. This is the one I most want to see. 2. Inside the folders - first turn on View > "File name extensions" in Explorer (Windows hides them by default). Then screenshot the contents of: one NES folder that shows in Emby, one NES folder that doesn't (something early like "8 Eyes" or "1942"), and one SNES game folder. I'm after the actual files and their extensions. 3. The layout - a screenshot of the top level or two of folders under that library path, so I can see where NES, SNES, and "roms" sit relative to what Emby is scanning. 4. The Emby log - run Dashboard > Library > "Scan Library Files", let it go for a bit, then Dashboard > Logs, open the newest server log and attach it (or paste any errors/exceptions). And the 10-second one: in the Games search, type "1942" (or another title that's missing) - does it find it? That tells me whether those NES games imported at all. With those in hand I should be able to sort both out.

right, but I'm talking about a music playlist created by making a playlist and then right clicking songs to add to the playlist, and those are not showing up when I turn off the import.

They were behaving just fine in Emby yesterday...

Perhaps you should talk to Dr. Phil <TL;DR>

Can you reproduce the problem with any other video? If you play these with any other player how does it behave?

Is it safe to post my embyserver.txt file here without exposing anything sensitive? I did the following and have the file, but I don't know if I should add the file or if something needs redactedd. 1. Ran "Rotate log file" from the schedule task manager 2. Add new movie to Movies folder 3. Run "Scan Media Library Folder" from the schedule task manager 4. No images were added The name of the movie is Disclosure Day

Not what this is. On the same TV, the Emby for Android TV, Jellyfin, and Plex all show the photos correctly! Only the Standard Android app shows them like this. It is not a server issue, it is an app issue.

I have not seen this happen with any other programs, and , on the same TV, the Emby Android for TV app displays the same files correctly! Yes, this was a bit complicated, and if I did NOT have the signature on my photos, I may never have noticed it. Some year maybe they will fix it but I am no longer holding my breath, it has been over 2 years already!

They're just MKV files, with AVC video and Atmos audio. Play them in Emby, record the output with a mic connected to my laptop. embyserver-63920707200.txt

Emby Theater 3.0.20/3.0.21 — Legacy Version This is the original version of Emby Theater, formerly associated with the MediaBrowser platform. It is an Electron-based desktop application that combines custom DLLs with what is essentially a hosted web client. Most of the assets required to run Emby Theater are web-based and hosted on Emby’s servers. These assets include JavaScript, HTML, CSS, JSON, and other supporting files. When the application launches, it first retrieves the index.html file from the Emby website. As a result, an active internet connection is required during startup; without access to the hosted files, the application will not run. The index.html file contains an appversion value in the following format: appversion=4.9.5.xx Emby Theater uses this value to identify and retrieve the appropriate client assets. The downloaded files are then cached locally in a binary format, with the appversion serving as the cache key. When Emby updates the legacy Theater client, it generally updates the hosted web assets and increments the appversion value. The version number appears to combine the corresponding Emby Server revision with a client-specific revision. For example, server version 4.9.5.0 combined with client revision 17 results in an application version of 4.9.5.17. You can verify this appversion by viewing the page source (right click, View page source) from Emby's hosted index.html page. https://tv.emby.media/index.html?autostart=false Emby App 2.317.2.0 — Microsoft Store Version This is the newer, redesigned version of the Emby application. It is written primarily in native C# and is designed to run on both Windows and Xbox. The application is distributed and updated through the Microsoft Store. Unlike the legacy Emby Theater client, all assets required to run the application are bundled within the installed package. Therefore, an internet connection is not required simply to launch the application after installation. The Microsoft Store deployment model does impose certain limitations, particularly regarding access to and customization of the MPV player. Users who rely on custom MPV configuration files, scripts, shaders, or plug-ins may find the legacy version more flexible. However, users who use MPV with its default configuration and do not require custom scripts, plug-ins, or configuration files will generally be better served by the newer Microsoft Store version.

These are videos? In exactly what format? Please provide logs from an example.

Many thanks for the kind words! There is no way to add the black background to images, other than the way you have done it, for now. Good idea for the future though.

Wait what???? You gentlefolk have been bound by their artificial software locks? My card is so old, it's no longer even listed. 24 streams I think it was. Someone back in the day did a whole website with PLEX transcoding. I don't have it anymore, but below is the relevant software for those who have the cajones like me. Check out https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch Ah, just re-read Xarano post, I guess I missed his/her post. My bad. Edit again... I somehow did find that OG website. https://www.elpamsoft.com/?p=Plex-Hardware-Transcoding

Honestly I just re-ran my last (The Alchemist / DJ Khaled) searches that worked and they are timing out. The only thing I can think of was a nightly server reboot. Could the database being cached in memory after the first few searches have something to do with it? EDIT yeah ok, after a few timeouts, those searches are coming back fast.

Most of my testing was done in the browser web ui. I always make sure to type fast enough to not trigger multiple searches, and will make sure my previous search is completed before doing another. I personally have not seen a difference between the web and dedicated Emby app.

Hi there, what happens when you try to import it?

HI there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !

Because the imported list is part of the library, not associated to the user, so it gets hidden or shown in the same manner as the media files.

@yockerI just wanted to say that I stumbled across this plugin yesterday and it is awesome. I had a quick question if I may. I use all my own templated movie posters and due to the location of some of the content, using the black bar at the top or bottom wont work for me. I know you can do it so it doesn't overlay but it gets a bit squashed up. I found that adding the icons over the poster itself sometimes made it hard to read so I wanted to add a black border around the edges of them all so they would stand out. I couldn't seem to do this via the UI soI added the border to my source images themselves. It seems to have the desired effect but I was wondering if there was a way possibly to this via the UI that I missed? I thought maybe it would be good to have an option to add a coloured box to the overlay so you could move it to under where your icons will be. A bit similar to that drag and drop box I found with highlights areas where icons can go? i have attached a poster to show you what I mean about the black bar not being suitable at top and bottom. Once again seriously this plugin is great .

The browser also has added cancellation of the previous search when you add another letter, and now this cancellation makes it all the way up to the database query. This helps a lot. But not all apps can do that and some of the ones that can haven’t gotten a store update with it yet:

I'm running Emby Server as a docker container on my unRAID server and am having some issues. A lot of my movies don't pull any images or NFO data. I can do it manually, but it's not automatic when I add a file. I have to browse to the movie and then do the Refresh Metadata -> Replace Images and then it comes right up. Is there a button or setting I'm missing to do that automatically when a file is added to the library? Also, if I try and back fill the images by refreshing the metadata on the library and choose "Search for missing metadata" and toggle on "Replace Existing Images", will that leave alone everything that has metadata and images? I've had to do some manually because they were obscure and I don't want to lose what I've done manually.

It might be trying to display it as a backdrop rather than an image. Backdrops depending on the resolution and aspect-ratio might get the scale to zoom treatment. Which would cut off some of the top/bottom if the image was narrow enough which this appears to be. When for photos it should always use scale to fit. That might be all this is.

Check, Aha, the signature cut off. Does the TV cut off any other program? Look at news shows with the bottom text scroll info. TV's can have slight adjustments as well that can cut off the bottom and these might also vary depending on what video input, cable vs. Ethernet. Sure it could be an Emby code issue. Check to see if you can duplicate it with other shows and inputs or if the bottom of the image shows up on a different monitor. I will try to read the first info better. Yours was a little but complicated.

Lots of threads similar on m3u and playlist wasn't sure where to post this so............. this thread is old so today emby has it so in the music library you can turn off importing all the m3u's, and you can set a playlist collaboration to non private.... ok, now when I turn off the music library importing, it works great to only show the playlist I made - except for any music playlist I make. That same playlist only shows if I turn the library import back on. An imported list offer no collaboration choice but a playlist made by adding one song at a time to a made playlist does show the menu option for collaboration choice so I can tell the difference from an imported one and a made one. Not sure if this is an over site or it just can't be done with music playlist.
