Hi, I'm running Emby Version 4.10.0.23 beta on Synology NAS, I can see the option to delete a series but not an individual season, am I missing something or is this a bug? Cheers, Bob

Yeah I included the total duration, and still get that message. The difference between versions is 3 minutes, so I assume it thinks I'm adding the timestamp for the same version of the movie since they are so close in length.

Hi, yes this sounds right. On Windows and macOS we have added native recycle bin support. We haven't added this for linux yet but plan to in the future.

On apple devices there is no way to play youtube inside the emby app. Not legally at least. So you must have the youtube app installed.

OK, but maybe that's all you have for chapters embedded inside your video file?

Sorry - you can stop testing. I figured out the reason. In fact, it works only for me and not for anybody else because of this: #if SOFTWORKZ_DEBUG if (!directoryInfo.Exists) { return new FileSystemMetadata[] { }; } #endif At one point I have been so annyoed from seeing all those file exceptions in the debugger that I added some of such "soft fails"...

Happens to me, as well. I was previously using the Android TV version and, when it would start the screensaver, the video playing would automatically stop. This would be my preferred outcome, as it also allows the system to auto-shutdown, if I'm away too long. Plus, as I have rewind 10 seconds on stop, it let's me catch up with the action on resume. Is there a setting for this?

Thanx!! Will check it out N/

"The parameter is incorrect" is a very unusual error for a local disk. Do get the same when picking a file from "C:" ?

Just a regular local sata drive on Windows 11

No. This not even related to Plugin UI.What kind of drive is your "D:" - network ?

Hello I had a quick question and I'm pretty sure it's user error on my part but it would be greatly appreciated if anyone could tell me how to accomplish what I'm looking to do. So my primary account (admin) will not set or default to the programs tab when entering the live tv library on the home screen under my media. So when I go to my media enter the live tv it opens up with the channels tab showing not the programs tab and it's only doing these for the admin account every other account loads or opens up with the programs tab showing. Please see attached photos to reference or is it that the admin account can't be defaulted to perform that action because it's has full control which can't be disabled? But thanks in advance as usual it's always greatly appreciated Also the 1st pic is the admin account loading with the channels tab when entering The 2nd pic is how I would like it to load when opening with the programs showing 3rd pic is another account that loads the programs tab by default every time when entering I have also check all devices I use all Nvidia Shield and Android phone Google Pixel 9 & 10 Pro if any of that helps

Hi, I just noticed on the couple of shows I tried it would only show a intro chapter and another chapter starting a minute or two in.

The Github link is dead.

Hi, Running my Synology v7.2 with Btrfs and I understand it's my own fault as I ran too low on free space (I still had 1.4 TB so thought I was OK ) anyway NAS freezing and generally misbehaving, I managed to close lots of running applications (took a while under the circumstances) and managed to get into Emby to clear some Media files, this seemed to cause the NAS to through a hissy fit and "discussing" with Gemini it seemed to indicate because of the way Emby deletes media it causes a lot more disk/system utilisation (I'll post a summary below) but wondered if @Lukeor someone else at Emby could comment whether accurate or a case of AI hallucinations and if true anyway to alleivate it as far easier to look for Played Media and delete in Emby. Gemini: Here is a summary of the issues that occur when deleting media directly through the Emby application rather than using Synology File Station: 1. Btrfs Metadata Saturation & "Cliff Effect" Emby Deletes Bypass DSM Controls: When you delete a file in Emby, it issues a direct OS system call (unlink). On a Copy-on-Write (CoW) Btrfs volume operating near capacity (under 10–15% free space), deleting large media files or entire TV show directories forces Btrfs to immediately write thousands of complex pointer updates across its metadata trees. File Station Staggers I/O: Deleting through DSM File Station or SMB shares handles deletions through standard DSM queued operations, giving the Btrfs background cleaner time to process extents without completely starving system I/O. 2. Simultaneous SQLite Database Lockups Database & Storage Conflict: Deleting media via Emby triggers two heavy operations at once: unlinking files on the drive and updating Emby’s internal SQLite database (library.db). Package Native Priority: Because Emby is running as a native DSM package, its process threads share system resources directly with DSM. When disk I/O stalls during Btrfs space reclamation, Emby's database writes hang waiting on disk access, causing the Emby package to lock up and stalling system network daemons (making DSM and SSH unresponsive). 3. Immediate Permanent Deletion vs. Safety Buffer No Recycle Bin Safety Net: Media deleted inside Emby skips the DSM Share Recycle Bin (#recycle) entirely. File Station deletes, by contrast, move to #recycle (if enabled), allowing you to recover files accidentally deleted or stagger the permanent emptying of the Recycle Bin at off-peak hours. 4. Severe System Latency & Extended Boot Delays System-Wide UI Lag: A heavy deletion queue in Emby forces kernel processes like btrfs-cleaner and btrfs-transacti to spike Volume Utilization to 100%, causing DSM web interface lockups, SSH connection timeouts, and heavy disk I/O wait. Dirty Journal Replay on Reboot: If the NAS is restarted while Emby deletions or Btrfs space reclamation are actively processing, the system must replay uncommitted metadata transactions upon startup, causing exceptionally long reboot times before web/SSH access returns. Best Practice Moving Forward Delete via File Station: Always remove unwanted video files or folders directly in DSM File Station in small, controlled batches (e.g., a few movies or 1 season at a time). Monitor Volume Utilization: Ensure Resource Monitor > Volume Utilization drops back down near 0% between deletion batches before clearing out additional files.

Yeh I’m still having this issue and also the new issue of the first few seconds skipping as mentioned.

If you start a youtube video in emby on apple tv its immediately open the youtube app and play the video. If i deinstall youtube, emby cant play a video its loading the hell! On Ipad with the emby app all videos start.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

Hi, what Emby app and version number have you installed on your Philips TV?

Hello, is there a way to bulk edit one single tag without modifying the rest? Let's say a film has TAG 1, TAG 2, TAG 3. I want to change TAG 2 to TAG B without changing nor removing TAG 1 and TAG 3. Is this possible? Thanks!

I think espn has them.

Great, thanks !

OK I wouldn't worry about this.

i should say I didnt download the latest sdk and build the plugin demo from that....did i need to?

OK you can't copy files into there. The server will scan and recognize them, but they won't be assigned to any user. Copy them instead to /data/playlists.
