Sounds great - let me know if I can be of any help with throubleshooting / testing.

Do you use "Hide spoiler information from unwatched episodes" ?

This new release has killed 4K playback. 4K media won't play at all, have tried it on Nvidia Shild, FireTV, and Android phone.

A picture is worth a thousand words — here's the output page where the LLM's analysis comes to life. Each card represents a series the model thinks I'd enjoy, based on my watch history and external ratings. I can hit record directly from here, or dismiss a suggestion to teach the LLM it got it wrong. Over time, the feedback loop makes the recommendations increasingly accurate.

I will look into improving and fixing bugs in the plugin but sadly my time is limited. @OratorianIf you want your plugin to work in the apps then It's relatively easy to get it to work. Have it make a strm file (mostly so people not in the party wont be affected) and listen for PlaybackStart/Progress/Stopped events in Emby.

Hi if i'm not wrong, Android app does not support viewing ebooks or comics (in fact both are considered the same). But if you're using Android, you can download the file with the download button and open in a 3rd party ebook/comic reader. Hope this helps.

It's to use it on my Zidoo home player...

Don't understand this question. Assuming you installed to Volume1, the file to edit is at /Volume1/@apps/emby/emby-server/bin/emby-server as noted in the previous posts If you have "missing" Emby config folder, that is typically at /Volume1/Emby/ or whatever Volume you installed to. Huh? Don't see a CD command in any post I've referenced I believe so, and it seems to work as it is As I stated previously, if you install the latest Emby beta version, it works as expected. Luke has mentioned in other posts that the fix will be applied in future Emby releases. It's not a "guess". It works. Note: The editing of the file /Volume1/@apps/emby/emby-server/bin/emby-server is NOT required if you install the latest beta

In the meantime, recent community-made plugin for the same purpose:

User Groups tile added – you can now send messages to selected groups instead of picking users one by one. Also a few small design tweaks. Full changelog on Gitub: https://github.com/solistvbox-rgb/embycast/releases

I honestly don't get that cause that is not a read only file system. I and the system have full access to everything on my external drives, and I'm assuming Emby has full access since it can scan my media and create libraries without issue. That said that's a old path. A new one would be /mnt/My Files/Docs/Backups/Emby Backups/. I just corrected the path and I'm still getting the error.

i look forward to seeing the next version. For me it is the Season level granularity that will make the plugin indespensible. "is the season ready to watch?" , is the main question everyone in the family asks.

Thanks for the reply. Couple of questions. Which folder is the correct folder? Data-or a nested folder within, Metadata - or a nested folder? Also I noticed a "cd"command - do I have to do that to before doing execution on the next line? Also, has the Mod1 third party app been updated for TOS 7? .Net experience, terminal commands, other IT skills should not be required after every Emby/TOS upgrade. Since I've known Emby-years and years. And to have a Beta as the only "guess" that it will resolve the issues is not fair to customers.( I was a premiere customer until this camel-back-breaking issue turned up.) FYI - I tried to upgrade to 4.9.5 several times, both through TOS and manually. It was rejected every.single.time. I decided to try on more time through TOS, and it took. Music is playing through Emby-which it didn't do in 4.9.3-I had to get a separate app . The Emby TM relationship is a disgrace to their customers. If I could nuke TOS and replace it I would. As for Emby, no difference between Plex and Jellyfin. I have used all three extensively. I used to repair old carburetor cars in the 70s-80s.Old. Clunky, had to appease car gods to get it running. Emby/TM reminds of that. Sorry for the rant. Pay it forward.

Thanks — that's genuinely useful feedback, and you've found a real gap. Taking your points in order. "Ready to binge" needing a username — you're right, and you don't have to use it Your instinct is correct: whether a season has finished airing is a fact about the show, not about you. There's already a mode that works that way. Set What the overlay reports to "Season has finished airing" rather than "Ready to binge". No username, no warning, and every user on the server sees the same badge. The difference between the two: Season has finished airing asks only "is there anything further scheduled?" Nothing to do with your watch history. Ready to binge asks that and "have you watched it?", so it can hide the badge once you've seen everything. That second question is the only reason a username exists — it's the one thing the server genuinely cannot answer without being told who's asking. So it's a choice between the two, not a requirement. If you don't want the per-user behaviour, don't use the per-user mode. The Simpsons S36 not showing Complete — not an anomaly, and your second guess was close It wasn't rapid clicking. The plugin works at series level, not season level. All it stores per show is the status, the next air date and the last air date — there's no season data in there at all. So "Complete" really means "this series has nothing further scheduled". The Simpsons has an episode due on 27 Sept, so that's false, and it can never say Complete while the show is still running — regardless of S36 being finished. Bottom works because the whole series ended in 1995, so there genuinely is nothing more coming. That makes "Season has finished airing" a misleading name on my part for a continuing show. It's accurate for a show that's finished or between seasons, and wrong-headed for one mid-run. I'll reword it. Season Premiere and Season Finale tags — not implemented Not a bug, and not something you've configured wrongly: the overlay only attaches to series items. Episodes never reach it, so there's nothing to tag S03E01 or S03E06 with. Different overlays for posters and thumbs — half of this exists already The half that works: posters and thumbnails are already independent. What to badge on thumbnails has Nothing, Only 'Complete' and Everything, so you can have full status on posters and only Complete on Continue Watching, which is close to what you described. The half that doesn't: choosing series status for one and season or episode status for the other. That needs season-level data the plugin doesn't currently fetch. Season images wouldn't unlock it Reasonable thought, but artwork isn't the constraint. The constraint is the data: one record per series with three fields in it. Season granularity means fetching TMDB's season endpoints and caching per season — a real piece of work, but not one that depends on you having season posters. Worth saying plainly that what you're describing — season status on thumbs, episode tags on episodes, series status on posters — is a bigger change than it looks, and I'm not going to pretend it's a quick setting. But it's the most coherent feature request I've had for this plugin and I've written it down as described. "Extra large I will increase the extra large. The air date mismatch Fair enough. It only bites if you're outside the US watching US shows, and if it's not bothering you there's nothing you need to do. I will Update you about the bug fixes

Thank you for that information

What have you set for this user.

Sadly not, Emby has no native WatchParty support yet, but EWP 3.0 mimics Emby's UI to a degree, so there is some sort of familiarity. And it is mobile friendly so you can just use chrome or any mobile browser.

Very cool!

Personally I don't need an Android app, I just wish I could use it on Emby for Android

@Lukeit seems transcoding has some problems with the subtitle. I believe this is a different issue. Let's focus on this transcoding issue here. Main problem is persisting on the UI only (see screenshot). Both in "stats for nerds" and in Emby Server's Dashboard status show "Direct Play". But it is 100% sure it's transcoding, as I dont have 50+ Mbps link. Only approx 10Mbps matching perfectly with the auto-selected transcoding bitrate. Moreover I have the transcode logs for proof.

After running into problems after I was forced to upgrade to TOS 7, I recently went over a few previous posts and came across yours. I know it's long overdue, but I think a heads'd up is in order. Appreciate your reply, but: I had to look up what you were referring to and I have no .NET experience. I have very limited line editing experience. For Emby to expect the end-user to have these skill sets in order to get Emby to work in a simple scenario is unrealistic. While I appreciate your input, if Emby is depending on this, Then Emby fails. Solutions shouldn't be based on coding exposure or networking experience Turn off the lights. Lock the door. Go home.

Emby only supports Intro and Credits. To be more precise, Emby only has IntroStart, IntroEnd and CreditsStart. So only these will get a skip button. Somewhat related: You could ask for more support in this area.

I don't know if I am reading correctly, but when it comes to recaps there's no button overlay on the app or does it just automatically skip these ? Does the button appear for Intro's and Outros (credits) ?

We are already trying to get EWP to the Android market, atm it's a rough internal beta since I need to learn Androids SDK from scratch. So if you know somebody able to make Android apps, our api's are both well documented.

Movies needs a little workaround, since this plugin depends on embys intro markers. You can install ChapterAPI from the plugin store, set IntoStart/IntroEnd markers for your movie manually which lets you choose your favorite scenes because you can freely choose the timestamps. After that run a library scan, and Metadata refresh, then run the Plugins task. I am experimenting on movies so it chooses random locations and cuts out %maxlength% for a theme.
