Hi Ginjaninja, Sorry for the late response. Since you and I have communicated numerous times via email, you are free to email me regarding Ear Wax and any problems you come across. Play track support is there and part of Ear Wax Core/Basic. The command is Alexa, Ask Ear Wax to play track ???? by Artist ???? I've attach the development roadmap Road Map.xlsx

@EncryptedCityI have tried to write a private message to you as i want to avoid any escalation of this issue but either i'm blocked or you have disabled being sent new messages. Either way. I suggest changing the 32 character GuID of the plugin as other wise running this plugin will clash with mine and cause problems if installed simultaneously. Something that can be a problem troubleshooting as it's usually not the first thing that comes to mind.

Yep I do already have that version installed (mentioned in my first post, it doesn't have this issue - but I MUCH prefer the Android TV version). The other Emby app does play those files. Seems to me this is not server-side (could be wrong as always), more likely it's related to the new Android TV version.

So did I. I was already using Authentik as my identity provider and the OIDC plugin for existing providers fit like a glove. Quick connect for all the apps that don't have the layer for MFA and I can control all my family permissions right from Authentik. It even auto created accounts on Jellyfin for my users as they went in the first time with those permissions. Emby really needs to step up its game here.

What do you mean? Do you mean put the logo back as it was before? you mean like it is in the picture? I changed the logo as it is in this css code below .pageTitleWithDefaultLogo{ background-image: url(URL_PRIVATE) !important; background-size: contain !important; background-repeat: no-repeat !important; font-size: 1.8rem !important; margin-left: 5px !important; }

This is working in the current beta cycle

@Luke Hello, to add some more information, this bug also occurs in the Emby Universal App on Android phones. So maybe I should correct the title, since the issue isn't limited to Android TV (though I can't edit the title anymore). Such as video 1. Play and stop a TV show. 2. View the cast's image. 3. Go back. 4. You’ll notice that the screen refreshes and the focus is no longer on the cast's image. Screenbits 2026-08-08_104019.mp4 By contrast, under normal circumstances, after viewing an actor's photo and back, the focus should remain on the actor field. Screenbits 2026-08-08_104152.mp4

Hmm. Can you reproduce all of these issues in a row, and send me your emby log via PM? I will work on foxing then. Can you also include steps and a bit more about your network setup etc as well. I will try and reproduce your setup here and test against that. That would be fantastic.

So on my Web app everything works fine. Android TV no way to use the plugin, as no browser correct? On my phone:- On my WiFi, click browser option, it just closes, click app it goes to the browser, but if course will not work as it is using my external domain On 5G, click app and it loads, click start then it loads and says network error, the browser option of course crashes emby So not sure the current issue

Looking good @LukeJust out of curiosity, is this something that is likely to be added this year or more like 2027?

Hmm I also see this TranscodeReasons=ContainerBitrateExceedsLimit Can you try setting the client bitrate higher, not sure what you have set that to.

What happens if you select AC3 sound track before start of play? instead of DTS. Its can also be the shear numbers of PGS subs in that file, it has 35 of them. And it has 10 differrent audio tracks. I would make a copy of the movie file, and remux all track out that you don't need. And see if that helps.

Ok sorry to hear that. Devs will need logs from that attempt also

OK, it works! However, at least for QNAP, both PlayedFromPlex.dll & meta.json had to be in %ProgramData%\Emby-Server\plugins, not a subdirectory. I was unable to see my friends (other Plex accounts with Library access). Will that be possible at some point? I was running watchstate in a docker container on my QNAP until now and this is a great replacement! edit: I set the files to `666` to match the others in the `Plugins` directory.

Hey Neminem, thanks for the suggestion. I switched HEVC video encoding off and saved the change. Tried playing Skyfall again afterwards, but no dice unfortunately - the same behavior is displayed.

Purpose and Function Recommend media to 1 or more recipients (recipients the admin has given you access to). Recommendations are checked for unwatched then added to a user dedicated 'recommendation collection' Admin send Recommendation access model - Everyone, No One (default), Named Users, Group Membership. Configurable default New User behaviour (send policy, group membership). Configurable collection naming. Admin server wide media type control. User (and optionally admin) controlled recommendation receive preferences. Toast notification of recommendations. Historical event view of recommendations. Watched Medias are removed from a user's recommendation collection on event and scheduled task. learn to spell the word 'recommend' Getting Started Establish your preferred collection naming syntax. Give users access to make recomendations to other users. Use the user facing UI under the profile picture (only available on a web client) to make a reccomendation. Review the "Collection" library for users' recomendation collections. If you have existing recommendation collections and you name them as per your policy they will be subsumed into the ecosystem (added to not replaced) RecommendMe.mp4 Disclaimers Vibe coded with Claude, backup database before 1st use, until tested. (Collections are individually targetted for adding individual members) Download https://github.com/ginjaninja1/recommendme Assume version changes require deletion of \data\RecommendMe ie a hard reset during early builds at least. 0.1.0.1RecommendMe.dll 0.1.0.0RecommendMe.dll Changes 0.1.0.1 Task catalogue correction Known issues Issues and Suggestions Welcome. Roadmap Add indexing flavour text to all search results (eg year, mediatype). If collections ever got an access model, implement that. Implement most recent N mediaitems/images on collection collages agressively on change. Store realtime notification for delivery when target user is online (improve chance of them seeing notification). Prevent ability to recomend what the target does not have access to (they wont see/play the items now (emby's access model wins), but they can show up in the report). Other Info Plugin stores data in \programdata\data\recommendme(good to know if you want to reset/uninstall)

Thanks for sharing. ...I'm using a QNAP NAS and will happily share how it works on it.

Than you for the response.

Totally understand - that's why I was trying to offer another perspective. I only stated that I'm new to show that I do not have a personal connection with anyone in this thread i.e. my take was independent. I was genuinely looking forward to trying out your plugin so hope you decide to release it at some point.

Hi, I would suggest posting this in the topic for the plugin to ensure that the developer will see it. Thanks.

Emby Version: 4.0.5.0 OS: Win 11 The Task for Calculating the Stats for TV Shows fails with the following infos: Laufzeit: 9 seconds One or more errors occurred. (Type definitions should start with a '{', expecting serialized type 'EpisodesData', got string starting with: banners/v4/episode/9165654/screencap/6347fa4653b2f) at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.ThrowIfExceptional(Boolean includeTaskCanceledExceptions) at System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1.get_Result() at statistics.Calculators.BaseCalculator..ctor(IUserManager userManager, ILibraryManager libraryManager, IUserDataManager userDataManager, IProviderManager providerManager, ILogger Logger, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Statistics.Helpers.ShowProgressCalculator..ctor(IUserManager userManager, ILibraryManager libraryManager, IUserDataManager userDataManager, IFileSystem fileSystem, IServerApplicationPaths serverApplicationPaths, ILogger logger, IJsonSerializer jsonSerializer, IProviderManager providerManager, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at statistics.ScheduledTasks.CalculateTVTask.MediaBrowser.Model.Tasks.IScheduledTask.Execute(CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress`1 progress) at Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.ScheduledTaskWorker.ExecuteInternal(TaskOptions options) Anyone has an idea if this is a problem with the stats task itself or anything i can do, as far as i can see it sends or does not send the "{" but i am not sure if i should change this in the DB or if it is an error of the Plugin. Thanks

The setting I mentioned is in your user display preferences. It is not under collections and is only used in a TV series.

can you please provide more detail? how are your files organized? how many emby libraries have you created, and what are the folders added to each one? You must have something setup as movies.

I right clicked the file, edit metadata, and where the box for themoviedb, the appropriate ID is there. Iam then clicking the little box off to the right and it links to the wrong area/movie. Also when you import the metadata using that info instead of linking it to the appropriate show it will fill in the metadata for the movie it links to on the site instead. If you look at the url of the site there is a /movie section and a /tv section. It links to the wrong section. ALF_S01E01_Pilot.mkv Library option is set to TV Show

Its the same setting under all of my other collections but for some reason only the one I listed it bunches them up.
