Also, could you introduce additional logic for TV shows based on underlying episodes added? What I'm referring to is that currently, if an existing TV show (that is neither New, Recently added or has a long season (>90 days)) gets episodes(s) added, either "Recently added" or "New episode" ones, it gets no badge as TV show itself doesn't fit any criteria/rule - however, there are new episodes there and maybe it should indicate that, orange (or whatever color one chooses) "New episode" on TV show poster maybe, when it falls out of all other existing rules?

Since switching ISP and installing a new router, I have been unable to access my Emby server away from home. I have gone through all the recommended troubleshooting and as far as I can tell everything is set up correctly, but outside my home network I just get the message 'unable to reach Emby NAS'. I have the same connectivity issue on the Android app and on my laptop. I'm running Emby server on a QNAP NAS, and I can still access the NAS remotely, just not Emby. Any help or suggested further steps would be appreciated, as I'm no expert on network settings

@Amanade3Can you exclude Season 1 (ONE) when weighing "New Season" detection rules? To clarify, with default settings: Days since added to library: 30 Days since item premiere: 60 Days since first episode of latest season aired: 90 If a brand new TV show is added within last month, but had Premiere date 60-90 days ago, it gets blue "New Season" badge - looks odd on single season series, IMHO it should get green "Recently added" badge instead.

A lot depends on the content, not Emby itself. Emby is simply the platform used to organize and play the media. If you're showing movies or other copyrighted content in a business, you generally need to make sure you have the appropriate public-performance or commercial viewing rights. Not charging customers doesn't automatically make it legal. This explains the copyright rules around showing movies and other audiovisual works in public/business settings: https://www.wlu.edu/general-counsel/answer-center/copyright-and-intellectual-property/copyright-guidelines-for-showing-movies-and-other-audiovisual-works So the important question isn't whether Emby is legal for business use, but whether you have the necessary rights to publicly show the particular content you're playing.

@SamESHere are the specs for the DS415 Play. Synology_DS415play_Data_Sheet_enu.pdf Its a Atom processor and I don't expect it to be able to do much 4K to 1080p transcoding. I have looked at the logs >>>>>> User policy for emby Enable Playback Remuxing: True Enable Video Playback Transcoding: True Enable Audio Playback Transcoding: True >>>>>> Processing Plan Name CanDoInHW WillDoInHW Reason Copy video stream >> False False Software Codec VideoInput >> False False Not a hardware decoder VideoOutput >> False False Not a hardware encoder Copy video stream >> False False Software Codec >>>>>> Video Processing Steps for [0:0]: H.265 (HEVC) Step HW-Context Format SW-Format Size Next HEVC >> - yuv420p10 yuv420p10 3840x1600 >> 20:32:33.314 elapsed=00:00:00.50 frame= 480 fps=0.0 q=-1.0 size=N/A time=00:00:00.05 bitrate=N/A throttle=off speed=0.103x @Pezza371887if you look at what I have marked in RED That should be over 1 for you to have a good experience. So you should stay with 1080p if you want to have a good time with that NAS as your server.

That sounds pretty slow. A video would help. Make sure it has a good 5GHz wifi signal, not 2.4GHz

Did, tried another/fresh browser as well, same behavior. Edit: Uninstalled plugin, deleted xml configuration file, started anew - all libraries included but no badges applied. No errors thrown in debug log, either. Edit2: Rebooted server machine, getting them badges at last.

@GrimReaperdid you clear the cache, I had do this on my setup?

Unfortunately it doesn't for me, I cannot un-exclude libraries. If excluded library un-checked/library included, upon pressing Save it appears like it caught but upon navigating away and back or refreshing page, it's back to initial condition (and no badges applied).

The app was updated recently. Is you Windows store not set to update it automatically? Paul

You could use a mixed content library to show the series and movie type shows together. For that to work you need to be strict about the folder structure you use (separate folder for each movie, season folders for every series, even those with only one season). Because Emby looks them up differently according to the folder structure, the settings can use TVDB for shows and TMDB for movies, even in the one library. Paul

You absolutely should not be enabling TLSv1.0, and TLSv1.1 has also been deprecated for quite some years now. TLSv1.2 is now 18 years old. but still in common use, and you should also enable the 8yo TLSv1.3 Paul

Is Native even still coming? @Luke

Emby is running on a Synology DS415 Play with 4 disks. This has been my setup for over 8 years. Emby on my daughters tv is pretty much unusable. From loading the dashboard, searching, browsing library and then playing a film. If the film plays it plays about 5 to 10 seconds the stops. I can try take a video if that helps?

What model number was that? Are you sure it was only 1080p?

Is the lag just during playback, or all the time such as when navigating? Netflix, Disney, etc all have multiple resolutions pre converted on their servers, so it just sends you the version that it knows your TV can support. Emby can do that two if you want to obtain/convert multiple versions of different resolutions and keep them all on your server (which I don’t expect you would really do), but by default it tries to convert on the fly which is where it is different to Netflix, etc and hence a more capable server becomes important. What are the server specs?

All other apps such as Netflix, disney+ and prime function fine and without any lag at all. Are there any settings to try and make this more responsive and reliable on this TV as my old 1080p lg TV which the 43 inch one replaced never had these issues and always 8 years old. Happy to try any suggestions

Yes, unfortunately the 32LR60006LA is a low-end device, so it won't have a powerful CPU for app navigation, etc. The client will try and adapt to that by limiting some UI animations, etc, but performance will possibly still be average which is probably also going to be the case for other apps such as Netflix, YouTube, etc. As it is only a 1080p device, any 4K content must be transcoded to 1080p. This will require you to have a reasonably performant server, or otherwise stick with content that is already 1080p rather than 4K. You will also need to avoid any graphical subtitles as they will also need transcoding and burning into the video. Stick with text based subs. Finally, best to avoid TrueHD and DTS audio tracks as they are also not likely to be supported and will need some conversion, though less intensive than video conversion. The points regarding subtitles and audio tracks is actually true for all recent LG models, including your 43QNED87A6D as even higher spec units still need conversion on the server for these audio and subtitle formats.

Hey, The 43QNED87A6D seems much more reliable and the whole emby app experience is much more responsive. The app on my daughters TV is really slow and lags even moving around to select a film.

Does it play OK on the 43QNED87A6D? If not, can you post any ffmpeg logs from the server for a test on that TV? What are the server specs? When we understand that better, then we can review if there are any options to improve playback. Thanks

The plugin works fine, but when I use an Emby dark theme, the layout does not match and is hard to read the tabs etc.

@digitalironydid you have time to look at the logfiles and did you find anything useful?

The main TV in our lounge is a 43QNED87A6D. Do you have any settings you can suggest changing on the server or emby app on my daughters TV to test? Thank you

I've been able to deduce on Windows client app, this happens, but not on ios or on my web browser on windows. Why would this be?
