Hi everyone, I would like to introduce DLNA Renderer Filter, a small Emby Server plugin for users who have DLNA/UPnP renderers that they do not want to see in Emby's Play on device list. What it does The plugin detects the DLNA/UPnP MediaRenderer devices discovered by Emby Server and lists them on its settings page. Each renderer can then be enabled or hidden individually. A hidden renderer is filtered only from Emby's DLNA PlayTo discovery path. The plugin does not change the device itself, does not add firewall rules and does not patch Emby.Dlna.dll. New renderers are visible by default. Important limitation This plugin filters DLNA/UPnP renderers only. Chromecast targets and active Emby client sessions are discovered through different paths and are therefore not listed or filtered by this plugin. Compatibility / current testing Current release: v0.1.4 Tested successfully with: Emby Server 4.9.5.0 Synology DSM 7.2 Denon AVR-X4400H Sony soundbar custom DLNA-to-HEOS bridge renderer The plugin targets netstandard2.0. Technical note Emby's public device discovery API does not expose a per-renderer ignore hook. The plugin therefore uses reflection to replace only the DeviceDiscovered callback belonging to Emby.Dlna.PlayTo.PlayToManager with a proxy. The implementation is deliberately fail-open: if a future Emby release changes that internal handler and the plugin cannot locate it, nothing is blocked and Emby continues normally.

Feedback requested I would especially appreciate tests on: Windows Linux Docker other NAS platforms other Emby Server 4.9.x versions If something does not work, please include the Emby Server version, platform and any log lines containing DLNA Renderer Filter. The project is open source under the MIT license. Thanks for testing! Emby.DlnaRendererFilter.dll

I hope to have a fix uploaded soon. This particular bug was quite tricky, but very valuable, and while addressing it, I uncovered a few more bugs. However, the main fix should be working properly now Thanks

Yes. Its showing up both remote and local. Local : Remote :

Unfortunately, no update that I know of. This is one of those strange Emby situations where a feature that already existed, worked, and was useful was simply removed before a proper replacement was ready. Luke said back in 2025 that it needed to be reworked and that it was on the famous “to-do list”, but here we are more than a year later. The funniest part is that Emby still has an “Allow social media sharing” option in the settings, which currently allows you to share exactly nothing. I still don’t understand the logic of completely removing a working feature instead of keeping it until its replacement was ready. Today, when sharing links through WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, etc. is completely normal, being able to send a family member a link that directly opens a movie or show they already have access to on the same server seems like a pretty basic and useful feature. Meanwhile, Plex has continued developing exactly this kind of functionality: users can share titles with friends, copy links, share through other apps, and even grant access to individual movies, shows, seasons or episodes. Apparently Emby’s “to-do list” is more of a long-term storage system.

Are you on emby 4.10? And are you searching for them using the emby app remotely? Or are you searching locally? Because yes they'll show locally but not remotely.

Try a guide data refresh. Not sure if that will do the job. I can search and then see live tv programs.

The latest Emby Theatre now have a issue where pressing play on my remote (to bring up the UI) during playback actually pause the video. Hope this can be fixed so it do not pause.

Live TV channels are now excluded from the global search since updating to 4.10. How can we get it back? I don't know why it was taken away. How I can get emby to include live tv channels in the global search when searching for content?

If you are using existing CSS make sure to remove the :root { and closing }. but the variable declarations should be near the top of your CSS in your existing root. That might be your issue. Also, if you want it to rotate back and forth you can use this JS file. Spotlight.js

Hello For a library, we can display some extra fields below thumbnail (see below). How can i do same for collections? It should be logical to have same display, collection is a set of library content.

Hi, I'd like to add a concrete use case to this request that's slightly different from merging music videos into the audio Music library, but touches the same underlying gap: grouping/display on the Artist page. My setup: a Music Videos library, organized by artist, with subfolders like: Artist - Live -- Music Video Title 1.mkv -- Music Video Title 2.mkv - Official Videos -- Music Video Title 3.mkv Each video file has both Artist and Album fields embedded directly in the file's metadata (tagged via Mp3tag) — Artist links the video to the artist page as usual, and Album is set to "Live" or "Official Videos" to match the category it belongs to. Both fields show up correctly in Emby's metadata manager, so the data is being read properly. On the Artist detail page, all music videos for an artist currently show up mixed together in a single flat "Music Videos" row, regardless of the Album value. What I'd like to see is for Emby to group/split that row by Album, the same way regular audio albums are shown as separate sections on an Artist page — so "Live" and "Official Videos" would appear as their own distinct rows under the Artist instead of one combined list. Since the Album metadata is already correctly stored and displayed per video, it seems like the underlying data is already there — it's just not used to sub-group the Artist page display. One additional note: since Emby's various clients (Web, Android TV, etc.) don't always have feature parity, it would be great if this grouping were implemented consistently across all clients — including Android TV, which is where I primarily browse my library. Would be great to see this considered alongside the "Extras" row idea mentioned above.

Can you some how customize what shortcuts is in the floating navigation on the Android Mobile app? I would rather have TV series instead of Downloads.

Nah it‘s not that bad anymore. Works fine on Fedora and the B580 can handle 3 parallel AV1 transcodes w/o breaking a sweat. There‘s only my htpc as a pc client. Other clients are iOS devices (tv, phone and pad), LG tvs and one android tablet. Most of these support AV1 natively. For me it was the logical choice, saved 11TB of hdd space so far, so the gpu literally was for „free“

Using the national service may have been the issue however it was set to Over the Air Broadcast previously when the errors occured. I have deleted all of them and just added local ones. So it was an issue with Gracenote as well as the guide listing data. That's good news. I'm testing recordings with a few other radio channels. Once they have completed I will update.

So far everything works as expected, Question maybe you could add a radio option for stream radio for internet streams as an other option?

You can achieve that by creating a 'Dynamic Media' home screen section, selecting your media type, choosing Genre or Tags and a sort order of 'Random' You cannot however choose how often it randomizes. The row will randomize your selection every time the home screen is refreshed.

Thanks for the feedback. But I'd like something random that refreshes every 7 days, for example.

Which app specifically? Android TV app or the newer standard Android app? If the latter, have you configured the app to not hide the transport buttons? Select 'No' here in the App Settings under 'Playback'

server "emby Version 4.10.0.40" via docker on "Kubuntu 26.04 LTS" Client - "LG TV LG 32LN613V LED" with android stick "realme 4K Smart Google TV Stick" both "Emby for Android TV" version 2.1.55g (tv.emby.ambyatv) and "Emby for Android" version 3.5.55 (com.mb.android) (separate thanks to similar names for both app!) I checked "use external player" when i try to open any video it tries to open VLC but quickly closes VLC window. And it seems that episode is finished and then it tries to play next and again and again.. How to use external player? I've got on installed VLC, Vimu..

That was why I said do not use the national lineup but use the one for your post code - either Local Over The Air Broadcast or Freeview - then 700 would be BBC R1 and would auto match to the channel from the tuner during initial setup On the National lineup BBC R1 is 181 and channel with callsign KISSRDO is 700 - so please delete that lineup and use Freeview or the Local Over the air Broadcast The standard OTA lineups to use would show like these highlighted one in the green boxes - The Freeview one would show the relevant one for your post code The initial response from Gracenote was positive and they are looking into getting the airings for Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders and Charlie and Jerry corrected. The bad news is that each show/series that has issues needs to be investigated and reported separately. I will look into Matt and Mollie next

I'm also not opposed to change, but for me the Android app has massive compression artifacts when streaming from tvheadend whereas the ATV app does not. See attached comparison.

It seems multi word search on the latest Unified Emby Android release causes the entire server to hang which will interrupt other users. I cannot repeat this behaviour using the Android for TV app, web browser or the exact same unified Android APK on my phone. it only seems to be affecting the last unified Emby app installed on Google TV's Very strange. I've attached a log, according to claude: What's actually happening: Every time you search, the mobile Emby app fires several parallel queries behind the scenes to populate different result sections (movies, shows, episodes, people, etc.). One of those is: IncludeItemTypes=Person&Recursive=true&SearchTerm=<your query> That's a recursive search across your entire library for matching cast/crew — not a lookup of "people whose name matches," but a scan checking every item's Person associations against the search term. On a 1PB library, this single query takes 29–31 seconds to complete, every time (How I Met Your Mother: 29380ms, 30995ms, 30001ms; Breaking Bad: 29993ms, then 10351ms on a retry). embyserver.txt

Ye, i hope it comes soon. I did the user config to copy the home sections to all my users, but apparently it also did the notifcations and I got spammed with alot of watch reports on my discord. Is it possible to have a list of all the things copied instead of just "etc."?

For the next Beta as well?

I removed dotnet-9.0.14 and dotnet-host-9.0.14, but when I reinstall dotnet8-8.0.20 it installs dotnet-host-9.0.14.
