All Activity

Hello, I have a windows server providing emby to a dozen clients and regular users and myself (remote) are having issues with freezing playback on all videos. Local playback seems fine but I can only check through remote desktop which is jittery anyway. I hope someone more attune to these things could have a look at the log for tonights activity. Much appreciated. embyserver.txt

There are multiple ways to submit segments, although manually verifying that the time is accurate is the primary goal. The primary way is through the website https://theintrodb.org, but you can also create an API key there (theintrodb.org/docs) and attach it to the browser extension or you can send an API request directly if you wish to automate it. I've even seen some people make Apple Shortcuts to submit!

What is the best way to submit data, other than doing it manually? Or is that what is recommended?

Strange. If it happens again please don't hesitate to send me a log file and i will look into it!

Hi, When the app updated to 3.5.55 it has broken my DV playback on my Nvidia Shield. I get very washed out colours, and the TV (Sony OLED) does not detect Dolby Vision. If I use the old Emby for Android TV, the same files work although issue? Thank you

As a regular Roku user, I have noticed but not said anything. I gave it a chance, but much prefer the ability to set what area is presented first on each library.

Hell will freeze over before that happens. This might help -

Be careful what you wish for. With an increased user base come increased feature demands, more time the DEVs have to spend with the product away from real life with families. I also have a life time Plex pass and have uninstalled it from my Qnap NAS to never use it again because the users I share it with are not mine as Plex wants their details to access my server. I am happy with Emy's present state and consider myself part of an elite niche group.

I run Emby at home, around 29TB across movies, TV, audiobooks and music, and I wrote this because my own library was the problem. Posting it here because this forum is where people actually understand why naming matters. Media Renamer Pro reads what is inside a file instead of parsing the filename. EXIF dates and camera model for photos, embedded tags for video and music, and online lookups for movies, TV, audiobooks and game ROMs. It builds a rename plan, shows you every row before anything moves, lets you edit any of them, and the whole batch undoes. Two things in it came straight out of breaking my own server. Renaming is two-phase. A single pass renames A to B while B is still sitting there waiting to become C, and one-at-a-time renaming quietly eats files in chains and swaps. Everything goes through temp names first. Subtitles follow their video. Rename a movie and the matching .srt goes with it, keeping language and forced tags intact, so pairing does not break. It is off by default, under Settings then Exclusions. It is 4.99 one time on the Mac App Store, no subscription and no account, and it runs on iPad and iPhone too. Nothing leaves the machine unless you turn on the online title lookups. Worth saying plainly: if you only have a couple hundred files, a shell script with exiftool does most of this for free and I am glad to help anyone write one. The app earns its keep at thousands of files, or when you want to see and undo what it is about to do. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/media-renamer-pro-batch-file/id6761764615 What I actually want from this thread is edge cases. If you have naming that no tool gets right, I would like to see it.

Downloaded, opened, uploaded in CSS section. Looks great, working fine. Thank you for your efforts.

Not sure why the updated 1.07b version states 'Unavailable' in my post above. The link downloads correctly on my computer. Just in case, here it is again. Emby Theme State Street Theater Sept 2026 v1.07b.css

To be fair off all my home devices i have tested the Samsung TV app is the most stable and works perfect. But its part of the fun, the other platforms will get there in time the wrinkles will be ironed out on all platforms. Developers are doing an amazing job and keep pushing forward

Thanks. Makes sense now.

They're being extracted from the media during conversion. So if the source has embedded subtitles for 10 languages you're going to get that many more VTT files for subtitles. It's been this way for a long time.

I honestly don't know which subgroup this should go in. I've done a few (maybe 20) movie Conversions with no problems. Had to do some on a TV Series and noticed that each episode added abt 20 subtitle files. The library is set to English and the Open Subtitles box is unchecked. Still the subtitles keep coming but only after conversion. Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Romanian?, NL, NO, PL, PT, SK, SV, TR, ZH. Don't know if this is a new issue or it's always been that way????

Ok thanks for the responses. I typically use the Linux app on my personal TVs (gaming-pc's) & apple TVOS for my living-room, guest-room & family-room so those don't function this same way, but the garage uses roku which is a shared TV so for us this new feature is not liked and we would vote against it if given the option to choose methods. I also have 1 remote family member using Roku and she also mentioned this issue to me as well. She goes between Genres & Movies often but would prefer it to open in Genres as default personally for her. Thanks

I've always used the Emby Theater legacy version (ET 3.0.21) and it never had a exclusive play only button, just the play/pause toggle. I just use the left/right arrow keys/buttons to seek/navigate which brings up the video OSD with the focus on the dot/cursor in the playback bar.

I'd also like a grid season feature for all clients (Windows, Android, and iOS)

With 26.0.23 the slideshow now cycles but the movie name and date are still missing. Is this by design? That was a big push, 165 files.

I could swear a re-checked those values (I used to have 2 of my 4 libraries selected), but somehow they got blanked. So the bug report was a PEBCAK error, but it resetting was unexpected behavior.

@justinrhWhat took you so long to reply

Ah, it's farther into the dialog tree, got it. That's what I'm talking about where it's not always clear. It's ask here, click around constantly and hope to find it, or wait for documentation updates. Thanks!

I just upgraded the samsung TV app version to 2.4.9 an tried playing Wolkig mit Aussicht auf Fleischbällchen again. Same error as before. During playback I switched languages (German --> Portugese --> English). Every time turkish kept being played. Log is attached. embyserver.txt

hi! are you planning to add archive support in this plugin? thanks!
