Hi Luke, thanks for the clarification. Yes — I am using the older Emby Theater. Here are the exact versions: Emby Server: 4.9.5.0 OS: Win11 Pro 25H2 Emby Theater (Portable): 3.0.20.0 OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2 Since this Theater build does support external players, can you confirm what parameters it passes when launching an external player? I’m specifically looking for: The full playback URL LiveStreamId (if available) MediaSourceId Any metadata fields passed on the command line Also, is there any documentation for Emby Theater’s external player integration? I’m building a small Python shim to launch VLC and will share it with the community once it’s working.

For the past almost 3 weeks I've been working non-stop on Emby-ScripterX. Hoping to have some great things come out of the next release. Will keep everyone updated, stay tuned! Kind regards, Anthony

Stay tuned to the blog for release announcements. Thanks.

How do you know that it's using 8096? I'm not saying you're lying. I'm asking for this information to try and determine what is happening.

I'd have to see the specifics of an example, but burning in with transcoding does not use your subtitle appearance preferences.

In some cases yes, but not in the theme-music subfolder. But yes that's not a bad idea.

Yes that would end up changing the file hash and may throw off open subtitle searches. Interesting point.

Are you sure these settings are for that same user? the user icon in the top right is dfifferent.

Any movement on this? I'm down for whatever user rating system we can get

thanks

No video that you upload to YouTube is served directly. Videos are always processed and re-encoded in different sizes and qualities, codecs and separate audio tracks. Further, Emby is always embedding the YouTube html player in one or the other way. It is not allowed to download pure videos from YT and play them with your own player. Since the YT player is web-based and no browser engine supports MagicYUV, there's absolutely no chance for this to happen - even at (these) two levels.

I’m mostly satisfied that this has been addressed, But one last question, TRIALERS from YouTube? I don’t think YouTube is trustworthy (have you seen the BS ads they allow?) Also, how can we know if these are huge trailer files?

It looks like it’s supposed to as you can see from this. That’s what has me baffled is if they search then they’ll pull up different things but as far as on the home screen, all they can see is new releases.

I'm trying to get the server to pull metadata for Danganronpa 3. It's kind of a mess because sometimes it's listed as 1 show with 3 seasons, sometimes it's 3 separate shows, and sometimes the single-episode 3rd season is listed as a movie or special. IMDB seems to have the best data. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6016316/ Although that is tt6016216, and when I manually enter that and refresh metadata, it changes to tt6027642 which seems to redirect on the site... But when I refresh metadata it also ads the TMDB ID: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/67674-danganronpa-3-the-end-of-kibougamine-gakuen-zetsubou-hen Which is only for the second season listed as its own show, and they don't have listings for the 1st season, but they do for the 3rd as a movie. It also ads a TVDB ID: https://thetvdb.com/series/danganronpa-3-the-end-of-hopes-peak-academy-side-despair Which again only has the second season, and the 3rd as a movie. If I could force it to just pull from IMDB it would probably be fine, but it's pulling from incorrect sources. Is there a way to make sure it only pulls data from 1 source? Although I'm not sure it even can pull from IMDB, because I tried to temporarily turn off all other metadata sources in the library settings and it's not one of them.

Same issues but only with flac. m4a 128 - 256 and mp3 160 - 320 not any issues

Hi, the new version of Emby for windows does not support external players yet. you would have to use the older Emby theater. Is that What you are testing?

Cuando te sale el error, en el visor de eventos no te sale algún warning o error o crítico? Quizá allí aparezca algo más...

Maybe ASS subtitles?

@a11anI am going to show you a way round the problem but I stress that it is not officially supported but should work - As you have done, each movie's nfo file will define the collections the movie is to be included in by use of the "set" field - For each collection, you create a folder with the name of the collection and within that folder you have your image file(s) and optionally a collection.nfo file - Where you want to a collection to be tied to a specific tmdbid then you would have a collection.nfo that has that id. Also the movie's nfo file "set" field to include the tmdbid for the collection - you place the collection folders you create under a "metadata\collections" folder which is below the Emby Server Data folder - take care when editing nfo files to ensure you do not lose any utf 8 encoding during the edits Note that if you make changes to the metadata subfolders like that, then you may need to scan the metadata folder through the scheduled tasks server settings page I am going to show you examples here of a test I did with some collection titles I had from various users An example of a movie with an nfo that links to a collection with a preset tmdbid of "661028" <set tmdbcolid="661028"> <name>Pokémon Best Wishes! Collection</name> </set> The collection.nfo for this collection will have these fields to identify the collection <title>Pokémon Best Wishes! Collection</title> <tmdbid>661028</tmdbid> <uniqueid type="tmdb">661028</uniqueid> The metadata collection folder name you create for this will be the collection name followed by a -tmdb-id suffix Pokémon Best Wishes! Collection-tmdb-661028 Another example is one without a tmdb id for the collection The folder name for the collection is Blaxploitation Classics Vol. 1 and the movies in that collection have nfo files that have : <set> <name>Blaxploitation Classics Vol. 1</name> </set> This shows the folder tree of the collections folders i created for my test with custom images and nfo files ├───Blaxploitation Classics Vol. 1 │ collection.nfo │ poster.jpg │ ├───Pokémon Best Wishes! Collection-tmdb-661028 │ collection.nfo │ fanart.jpg │ poster.jpg │ └───Tommy Gibbs Collection-tmdb-534652 collection.nfo poster.jpg These 3 folders are copied to metadata\collections and I had them in place ready before I added the movies to the server The result was that my 3 collections had preset custom artwork

thanks So logo is right but schedule wrong. What does the channel actually broadcast - is it +1 hour compared to 322 Great! Romance?

but in this case you lose the "hash match" that match subtitles hash... right? I wish to be wrong but I think this will screw-up suggestions of subs

same here +1 to give use the option .... because this type of sub mostly 3/4 force server to re-encode video on go, causing issue and bottle-necks that are unnecessary ... if you can point me out to exact line code where it is listed I can do some magic and hide it via browser addon to alter JavaScript + CSS ... if developers cannot or won't (y) I can I just don't know exactly where .... without wasting hours of my life unless I am force too

I have setup a couple of collections if that's the correct terminology so Top 10, Spotlight equals Recently Released Movies, and a couple imports from ACdb.tv So my question is can we have them refresh as I haven't been able to get them to do so. I run all of the scheduled task for the home screen and they won't change what's current showing. It would be appreciated if someone could help and point me in the right direction if this could be done. Example: Top 10 Shows what's the top 10 this week then change out every week and the ACdb.tv to refresh when the scheduled task runs to update that collection and so forth. I hope I explained this okay and as always thanks in advance.

Did you ever wonder how Emby and Emby Theater did it? Best bet is to use an Android player with true AC-4 Martin
