@GrimReaper I think I may have some clues on this as well, but not 100% sure??? In Emby 4.8 you could fetch AlbumArtists, Artists and Composers via the API with standard queries. But in Emby 4.9, the same queries no longer worked and returned AlbumArtists+Artists+Composers for all three individial fetches. But, when User_ID was added to the queries, they worked again. Just mentioning in case it helps you out for anything??? As per post above, I've hidden the "All" option.

Hallo Zusammen, ich habe seit einigen Monaten das Problem, dass mit bestimmten "Chromecast Built In"-Lautsprechern keine Cast-To -Verbindung aus der Emby-Android App heraus möglich ist. -Emby-Server läuft auf Windows 11, Android Emby App auf Android Tablet und zeigt korrekt die Emby Musik-Bibliothek, welche auf Windows liegt/läuft. - Android App hat oben rechts den "Cast-To"- Button. -Habe 7 "Chromecast Built-In" -Lautsprecher , also W-Lan Lautsprecher. Somit auch diverse Lautsprecher -Gruppen. -Mit folgenden Lautsprechern stellt die Emby-App keine Cast-To Verbindung her: -Teufel Motiv Home & JBL Bommbox 3 WiFi = Antippen Cast-To-Button in Emby-App / Blauer Verbindungskreis dreht sich / Es erfolgt sogar der Bestätigungs "Klong" - Ton, aber das Cast-To-Symbol bleibt schwarz ( was ansonsten innen ja weiss wird, wenn verbunden) und er verbindet sich nicht -Mit folgenden Lautsprechern klappt es jedoch -Harman Kardon Citation 200 & Citation 300, inkl der mit diesen Lautsprechern erstellten Lautsprecher- Gruppen Auffällig ist weiterhin, dass mit folgenden Android Apps ALLE Lautsprecher die Cast-To Verbindung herstellen können (inkl. Lautsprecher-Gruppen) -Bubble-UPNP / Pulsar Music Player App Es scheint also an irgendetwas bzgl Emby zu liegn. Hat jemand eine Idee oder Erfahrung was das Problem sein könnte, oder evtl was falsches eingestellt in Emby-Server auf Windows ? Vielen Dank im voraus!!!!!

This is my fire tv log emby_android_1775005184543.txt

It's the filesystem sub-folder path under Music. These folders also show up in my Emby Music Folders menu tab. So for "The Beatles" it would be "Bb (a-m)" as per the PM folder structure that was sent. From your question, I think I've figured it out myself by changing the fetch_libraries() function to include sub-folders. I also changed the include_all flag from True to False to hide the "All" entry. Here are "before" and "after" screenshots examples: I don't think I broke anything because RELEASETYPE tags can be still be bulk written into Emby Album tags. Yeah, the country prefixes do cause some issues, but I guess the API is using the Sort Title??? All my Album Artists have Sort Titles, e.g. Emby will automatically remove "The" but not " The". That's why being able to import ALBUMARTISTSORT would be useful. I could perhaps try modifying system.xml but haven't gotten around to it yet: <SortRemoveWords> <string>the</string> <string>a</string> <string>an</string> <string>das</string> <string>der</string> <string>el</string> <string>la</string>

This is what I am trying to do, and seemingly have no way to do. Let a user still access a library but not see it on the home screen.

Yes it syncs themes and yes it syncs on startup but only an incremental sync, not a full sync and should only take a few seconds. If you think there is something wrong, send me a kodi.log and I'll review it.

Thanks for the update. Hope it goes well.

The rest of this post discusses making a new user just for the gym, and only having what libraries will be used while at the gym, available. That's it, that's all.

I’m confused, should “Show Login Screen” in Settings > Display > Startup Behavior bring up the user login/selection screen *every* time the app is launched, allowing a logged in user to be selected ? Maybe it is the TestFlight I’m using, but that login/selection screen doesn’t come up each launch. For me it only appears after the app has been force quit and is starting up fresh. I’ve tried resetting the setting, force quitting after, etc. Is this working for people?

I'll test on a few devices tonight and confirm Yes. Click the ... menu on the Media Folder on the Dashboard for your recorded shows, the select Convert I select these options, you may want something different. After that, you can review and edit these options from the Conversions section on the Manage Server page You can adjust how often the conversion job runs in the Scheduled tasks section, mine runs hourly

All subtitle options take effect in Emby for Firefox but only some take effect in Emby Theatre for Windows (2.234.2.0) Drop shadow will not disable and the border never enables. mpv-20260402T021555619.txt

I think it must be just an issue with that model of tv as they play back ok on other devices. did the 2 recordings playback ok on your device? So is it possible to set a automatic convert just on recordings only? I did have a look in the emby server but couldn't see it. many thanks

@Luke, are we going to get this release to potentially fix this USB audio crash on macOS any time soon?

There’s also no audio coming from the app. Every other app works including system sounds edit: I found the problem, I was looking at other posts and it looks like is related to the new continuous playback on 26.4 . When I turned it off everything started to work again including music embyserver.txt

Tengo mi NAS My cloud ex2 pro, que uso solo para archivos multimedia (película, música y otros) instalé emby desde el menú aplicaciones externas y luego ingresé al programa emby desde el menú "configurar". Es el caso que allí puedo crear mis folders sin ningún problema (luego de haber otorgado permisos de lectura/escritura respectivos) pero nunca logro que me aparezcan imágenes en los folders del menú inicio. Y cuando instalo en Windows el programa emby server, desde allí creo una carpeta y si me aparecen imágenes en ella, pero no me permite acceder a entiendo cuál es el error, adjunto fotos sobre ello

Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the update. For now its only meant as a cleanup function, honestly I only did it because I had a shit ton of old tags with no way to remove them all. This can certainly evolve into a tag and collection management sort of way. Just give me a few ideas and we'll see what we can do. One thing that struck me right now is that it would be nice to be able to click on a collection or tag and directly navigate into it. On the negative side of always adding functionality is that the bigger the code is, the more risk of breaking something. And I kind of want to back off a bit and give time for some proper real life testing and then maybe add this to the plugin catalog. I did get some "warnings" from another plugin developer that having a plugin in the catalog massively increases the demands and expectations from users, so I haven't decided yet how to do about that..

Yeah, I got the local address thing ... but local device IP addresses are obfuscated: Source Ip: host4, Why are local host names obfuscated?

Hi @GrimReaper Many thanks indeed for all your feedback. I do think Emby should protect itself against bad data even when it is as you say very niche But anyway… You have helped me a lot to understand what was going on and I really appreciate your time (as always!) cheers

That would add unnecessary overhead on every item for extremely few/niche cases percentage-wise.

There is actually no way to protect itself, as the ID values are shared across media types, so both movie/241526 and tv/241526 exist, and Emby cannot interpret what pure numerical value represents, hence library types. I thought you did it manually, but it is actually a case of bad provider data (doesn't happen often, but not unheard of either), as TVDB (your primary metadata provider) has that same 241526 as ExternalID for TMDB: If you go to the show's TVDB page and click ON OTHER SITES: TheMovieDB.com link: it'll take you to Brasa's TMDB page: Same would occur if you clicked TheMovieDB in About section of item detail screen in Emby. Best thing to do would be to remove that ID from TVDB db (and do such thing any time you encounter similar case) for the benefit of the community.

That should be mostly fixed in the next version with a lot of other bugs i found. It's going to be a HUGE update, tons of core logic changes, user theme agnostic, etc... I'm getting there but still lots of work to do still. Thanks!

I'm just confused, the rest of this post from years ago is talking like there is already some way to do this?

Hi @GrimReaper That now makes sense, thanks Though all I did was identify the TV serial through the regular Emby process, it was ***Emby*** that filled all the db id’s ***not me***. So obviously Emby does not protect itself against a TV series being wrongly identified as a film in the Movie DB (and then having the same id in the Movie db as another tv series) The tvdb id of the series which Emby also got is 82781 and the info there is correct. And imdb is tt0944833 and that is correct too. can i suggest that emby could protect itself in the future against different data sources returning inconsistent types for the same item, because it was initially confusing. i.e. When Emby fills in the ids of an item (imdb, tmdb, tvdb) it could check that all 3 keys are related to the same type (movie, tv serial)

@quickmicdoes it always load movies 4k/ themes?also do I have to sync everytime i turn on Kodi?....its still Syncing Load Changes again

The more I thought of it, the problem is the browser will not play the audio bluetooth from the NAS server. It plays it through the PC through the bluetooth connection to the bluetooth speaker. I did find an odd duck work around. RDP to another Windows box, bring up Emby in that browser and play the bluetooth connection through that PC. Then my working PC is free to output audio to my PC speakers.
