Sonarr and Radarr are using TMDB + scraping other DB's to do this with movies/shows that have IMDB id. They have there own metadata end point, that users use. Its a strange combo the a company like Emby can be sued for letting something like this live. I guess if this plugin can never be included in the plugin section, if it ever use this methode. @soderlundplease keep this in minde.

Upgrades? What does that mean? How is your router port mapping setup?

What exactly do you mean by "how to". All I did was download the host APK from the website, install it to my device and add media through the browser. I'm sorry if I forgot any steps, I a newbie here . However I didn't find any instructions

Did you read the "how to" ?

Yes I did, I had an old Samsung Galaxy a21s lying around and I decided to use it as a media server.

Example from today No context, other that does not work on this device

Did you install the server on your own hardware?

Yeah, that gets really complex really fast, huh? And not just from an implementation standpoint (your specific implementation wouldn't really work because that's not how next up works). It would be quite confusing to the user to be bounced to some other series when watching a different one.

That sounds interesting, not that I need it. But is sounds a lot like DDNS + Cert.

Hello, I have a problem with my Emby Server. I installed it on my old Android device and everything worked fine. On my current mobile and on my PC I can connect without Problems using the Android client app or typing in the IP in the Browser. I can watch my shows and movies without any problems. Now I wanted to also be able to watch them on my fireTV. I firstly installed the Emby for FireTV App and connected the server manually by entering the IP. It worked fine except for some transcoding issues but that is a different topic. When I shut off the TV an turned it back on about an hour later, the server is still listet but when I click on it it says it is not able to connect at the moment and it can wake it but hitting the wake button doesn't do anything. I also tried installing the other Emby App on the FireTV store and connecting manually but no luck. It still works fine on Phone And Windows and I don't know what has changed since the first successful attempt. Thank you all for responding in advance

Hello everyone, I’m a sysadmin by trade with some development background, and I’ve used AI to build a tool that addresses a personal need: Mediakeeper. A couple of clarifications before presenting the project: The use of AI for coding is a debated topic, and I understand that. Mediakeeper is прежде всего a personal project, running on a local network. If it is ever exposed publicly, the code will be audited by developer friends — who already provide me with regular feedback. I also use this project as a learning tool: I continuously work on development and security aspects to refine the code and gradually reduce my reliance on AI. What’s the idea ? To bring everything needed to manage a media library into a single interface, without having to juggle multiple tools. For now, the project is focused on Emby (with Plex and Jellyfin planned for later). The long-term goal is to become a single entry point for statistics, files, requests, notifications, and user management. Technical stack (briefly) : Easy deployment, single container, PostgreSQL database, frontend built with Vue 3 + Vite + PrimeVue. Currently hosted on a Synology NAS using Docker. Available in both French and English. Available modules: Dashboard : Fully customizable overview (CPU/RAM/storage, active sessions, recent activity, alerts, top users, total plays, upcoming releases based on Emby content, etc.). Widgets can be moved and resized, and layouts are saved per user. Statistics : Automatic session tracking, watch history, top users/media, time-based charts, etc. Jellystat import supported. Watchlist : Track missing media (episodes, seasons), upcoming release timeline, and a calendar with followed content. Media Manager : Automates file management tasks (renaming via TMDB, season folder creation, media moving, etc.). Duplicates : Scans the library to detect duplicate files (size, resolution), with options for deletion or exclusion, automated rules, and statistics. Notifications : Configurable alerts via Discord (multiple webhooks supported), Telegram, and email (more to come). Posters via Imgur. Fully customizable templates. Health : File analysis (low bitrate, missing subtitles, low resolution, outdated codecs, etc.). Subtitles : Edit, delete, and add subtitles. Tracker : coming soon Requests : coming soon Project status : Version v0.9.1 is currently in development. There are still many features, improvements, bug fixes, security enhancements, and optimizations to be done, but it is already very functional. I recently created a Discord server to share updates, answer questions, and present the solution. If you're interested, feel free to reach out via private message or reply to this post.

Hi I'm currently looking for a configuration to build a medium (all is relative) server for Emby with 6/8 mechanical drives 3.5" and 2 SSD or NVME for OS. I investigated already second hand servers but I'd like also to check what can be done with a hand-build configuration. Is it me or it's difficult to find now empty chassis (small size like 1/2U) to build its own server ? Vincèn

ah...in my response I hadn't considered the server access sellers and the support angle, I'm aware of that side of course and they are pretty easy to spot. I also think there are wannabe sellers, or even someone recently who sounded as if they had inherited a server lol As for the helping burnout, in some way it's probably because emby as a project is pretty much solid for the core functionality. Yes there are nice to have's and some of us want a particular feature, but there is more than enough which is stable and feature-complete, and where not there are easy and well understood hacks and workarounds. Things were a lot more fun when trying to get emby working on a Synology NAS and then within Hyper-V, I think I spent most of my time tinkering than actually watching anything, now it is the other way around. Helping is difficult as people with simple issue who don't want to invest their own time in simple investigation and reading are tiring. I don't want to deal with them at work, why would anyone want to do this out of work... But hey we are all still here because Emby is an amazing piece of work, I don't even class it as a product.

@user24When you have a minute, send me in PM few mp3s that have all the tags embedded, in particular that ROONALBUMTAG (as said, I know zip about music and I'm not too keen to educate myself, as I'm perpetually lacking time for all of my own inteterests to begin with) together with screenshot/description of your library structure, I have an idea and wanna try something that might spare you few months of manual tagging within Emby.

Muss das Thema wieder hervorholen, da jetzt schon einige neue Versionen der Beta angeboten wurden, aber keine davon zum Laden angeboten wird. Wie man hier sieht, steht aktuell ein Update auf die 4.10.0.8 an (ich bin immer noch auf der 4.10.0.4). Wenn ich mir aber die aktuelle laden möchte, wird mir hier weiterhin die 4.10.0.4 angeboten. Weder die 4.10.0.5, noch die 4.10.0.6, oder die 4.10.0.7 und auch nicht die jetzt aktuelle 4.10.0.8 wurden hier zum Download angeboten. Es wird immer nur die 4.10.0.4 zum Download angeboten.

Well, thanks to some great help from @GrimReaper I've managed to use JavaScript to turn the Artist Albums pages into more of a Discography page, where you can Group and Sort Albums by either Release Type (from custom album tags) or Decade (from standard year tags). Does this automatically fetch Release Types from MusicBrainz? - No Does this automatically import embedded metadata from RELEASETYPE tags? - No Does this automatically Group and Sort by Album Release Types from your Emby Album tags? - Yes Does this automatically Group and Sort by Decades from your Album years? - Yes Here's a couple of screenshots: While this only works with the Web Client, it does give a good feel for what a potential native Emby implementation could be. It takes a bit of Album tagging work to set up for your preferred Release Types page view, but the Decades page view doesn't need any set up at all! For anyone wanting to experiment with it for themselves the detailed technical information is here: While it's not the magic automatic solution, perhaps we just need ROONALBUMTAG importation from Emby (as a faster first step) to make something like this easy to use. I'll be most interested to know if this is similar to what other people are wanting? Cheers!

Bummer, because that's a great suggestion. I'm guessing then since both apps, Sonarr and Radarr, can import IMDB watchlists that they are doing it the unauthorized way. I doubt they are paying for the API.

Is it time to explore this either in Emby core or as a plug-in if possible? https://letsencrypt.org/2026/01/15/6day-and-ip-general-availability

I had a Logitech 5.1 years ago but not as fancy as that one, if it works it works I'm very lucky I have made my main lounge into my cinema room and I get to use it everyday without the family complaining too much...I even watch my daily youtube on my projector setup. But our eyes and ears do get used to it, they build a tolerance just like eating spicy food!! Whenever I've been away for a few days and I come back it's a bit overwhelming and a new experience again. I've never asked my neighbours how they feel, no one has complained yet

Are you dropping you laptop in the river Don't do that But where should that be stored if not there

Attached file with the latest changes. Feel free to use as is, or modify to suit your own set-up. There are some tips in earlier posts on how to install it. The script should also run via browser extensions, such as Tampermonkey. There are also tips above on how to add your own custom Release Types and change the style to your own liking. Thanks again to @GrimReaper for creating the original script(s) therefore he receives the Solution accolades!!! For anyone interested in music Release Types, in general, there is a good topic here to contribute to: albums_groupby.js

I'm still using this with my shield, Logitech Z906 - 5.1 Then again my wife is deaf on 1 ear, and as long it sooths my needs its great. Neighbors sometime still complain about the sound

Unfortunately you have not missed any developments on this, muchless any movement in years or if at all. We still also have the issue of searching in settings and only getting media results. It's a sad state as far as I'm concerned, hence why it's one of many reasons that I have moved to Jellyfin.

This is pretty interesting. What immediately comes to mind is the idea of populating a few mkv-tags along the way, basically the stuff that mkv-tag-manager does. Okay, I know the way out.

I tent to agree. Most new user are Emby server users that don't own and have installed there own servers. Asking 1 time questions about there experience / failed attempts to connect to, what they call there own server, and never again reply. Share sellers redirecting there support to this forum or just don't care. Sadly this started after the big purge, where the forum was deleting old unused accounts with on forum activities, meaning 0 posts or replies. As a result share sellers are making them ask 1 question, most topic "KJHJKHK" Body "djfhk" 1 thing I have noticed is that some of the old account / helpful people have stopped helping new people, sadly I'm 1 of them. I have hade enough of people asking for help directly via PM or getting a smirky reply they cooked up via some AI. Or they never get back to you if that helped them Then there is the other people asking for help that don't want to supply logs or read the linked "how to guide" and supply where that fail them. So spending 1 - 2 hours trying to help them is going unanswered, and right now I feel like I'm waisting my time.
