I use NGINX to do the following (other RP’s should work too). I use Certbot and Let's Encrypt for SSL (TLS v1.2+) on custom port(s). I also use geo-blocking via MaxMind (free version). I ignore (444=drop) direct IP# requests (the DDNS name must be used for access). I use a custom port (5 digits) that hackers usually don’t scan. (And yes, my 85-year-old mother can use this easily.) List of assigned ports. With this setup, it’s hard for anyone to access my LAN or Emby without explicit instructions.

If I'm reading the Beta thread correctly, the last released build (2.1.23) was late 2024. A year later and 19 builds later, why would you not release it? It would be nice for us users to get all those improvements.

Fantastic, thanks! Who knew?!?!

Found it - for some reason there the option under streaming ==> advanced ==> limit single channel streaming per tuner had been ticked for some reason. Untick and I can watch multiple channels at once to my hearts content. Phew

Okay, I think the YT trailers were fixed in 2.1.28 You can either sign up for the beta channel to get it from the store or just download the apk from the link below and sideload it.

Very simple little plugin. Customize the new banner feature in the Emby server beta. Cycle between messages - No a live cycle so requires reload of mainpage. Show Movie, Show, Episode, Video count. Show latest movie and/or TV show. Add Emojis (for what ever reason ) Can look into adding more if people want it. ONLY WORKS WITH EMBY SERVER BETA!! Can be found at: yocksers/EmbyBanner.

2.1.23g on the Shield. How did you get 2.1.43?

Hi. The author of this does not appear to be a member anymore.

Hate to bump this old thread but did anyone ever find a better guide solution for this service?

I honestly don't understand the 2fa on just admin accounts. I don't want ANYONE logging into my server that I don't know, admin or not.

I have an Emby media server where storage is attached via rclone mount. The backend is served through an app called Altmount (similar concept to nzbdav). My goal is to get movies to start playing in 1 second or less. Currently there's a noticeable delay on first play before Emby can start streaming the file. I tried kodi for emby and with webdav and webdav was noticeably faster so is there anyway or config that i can use in rclone to overcome this emby headings and make it faster? My rclone setujp is: ``` rclone: path: /config password: "" salt: "" rc_enabled: true rc_url: "" rc_port: 5573 rc_user: admin rc_pass: admin rc_options: {} mount_enabled: true vfs_name: altmount mount_options: {} log_level: ERROR uid: 1000 gid: 1000 umask: "002" buffer_size: 32M attr_timeout: 5s transfers: 32 cache_dir: /config/cache vfs_cache_mode: full vfs_cache_poll_interval: 10s vfs_read_chunk_size: 32M vfs_cache_max_size: 100G vfs_cache_max_age: 8760h read_chunk_size: 32M read_chunk_size_limit: 2G vfs_read_ahead: 2G dir_cache_time: 5s vfs_cache_min_free_space: 1G vfs_disk_space_total: 1G vfs_read_chunk_streams: 4 allow_other: true allow_non_empty: true read_only: false timeout: 1h syslog: true no_mod_time: true no_checksum: true async_read: true vfs_fast_fingerprint: true use_mmap: true links: false ```

Just wondered if there was any more news on the smart playlist feature, not just the homepage revamp?

Disable admin account from outside and use VPN when needing to use the admin account should make files secure. Keep an eye on where users connect from once in a while, there are plugins for that. Blacklist countries you have no users in. Make sure users don't set 1234 as password.. Emby needs a feature for minimum lenght and special character passwords Correctly set up proxy instead of direct Emby access. Tailscale funnel also works very nicely and doesn't require "outsiders" to have tailscale. Not saying 2fa isn't needed, just that there are other ways to secure the server.

Hi. I'm not sure what you are calling the "movies list" screen but all grid views have a poster size option. Click the "..."

Is this plugin still in development? Looking for alpha testers*? I've been frustrated with Emby's music player as long as I've been using it, this UI looks MUCH better. As far as other features I'd love to see: scrobbling to last.fm being able to send playcount updates to my MediaMonkey server (from which I can scrobble my tracks to last.fm) Some sort of visual like milkdrop or something, just to stop my LGTV from going to the screen saver. the regular emby music player doesn't update the screen enough. * I'm a solutions architect, fluent in C#, and can give appropriate feedback.

Nem, Android version of Emby goes directly from the App to the saved IP address. There is no step to go to another website first, so I don't think the apps would work. You can try to set the app to go to the hidden page link, instead. I am not sure if it will even show a website page. This trick is really more for web access users.

What version are you running? Works in 2.1.43 for me.

Because genres only have one, global, image. It would be silly to say that if you're watching a crime show, it shouldn't list a crime movie as being in the same genre for the purposes of showing you similar media.

i cant believe it... still no 2fa option for a service that is made to be reachable from the outside... sure, you can whitelist clients and ask ppl to use good passwords, use geoblock on your firewall if you can but still...

I already explained that. See for yourself. Maybe you should answer why the would not be? I'm in a library - why would I expect to ever see media from another library? Do you expect the same if you view Folders or any other filter?

That doesn't mean they're stored separately. Again, why would they be?

Same for me.

This is still broken. ATV app does not work; standard app does work.

Indeed they are, because they are in the context of a library. That library shows media only from that library.

Genres aren't separated by media type. Why would they be?
