Yes, I see the setting preferred tv show display. It’s set to Show all episodes for only single season shows.

Well it looks like they finally released it.

Hi. Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares? Thanks.

I forgot, the ability to put libraries under subsections

Have you explored the options for the library where you can choose what source(s) to enable? (Imdb is not one of them).

Have you explored your emby user display options by clicking your user icon in the top right?

Yes because emby users like that, but there is no lookup of imdb data.

I don't have an update yet sorry.

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

When you click the link to the right of the IMDB box it links you to the movie or tv show on their site. a good example of it sending you to the wrong area is when you put in a tv show and link it to its respective number, when you click that link it links you to the movie section, not the tv section on that site linking it to the wrong metadata.

I carefully read the log file and found an "Error in ffprobe". At the same time, the progress of the Scan media library is stuck. 2026-08-08 08:05:16.894 Error App: Error in ffprobe *** Error Report *** Version: 4.9.5.0 Command line: /system/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /config -ffdetect /bin/ffdetect -ffmpeg /bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /bin/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3 Operating system: Linux version 4.4.302+ (root@build5) (gcc version 12.2.0 (GCC) ) #90080 SMP Wed Jul 22 00:08:29 CST 2026 OS/Process: x64/x64 Framework: .NET 8.0.25 Runtime: system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 2 Data path: /config Application path: /system Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Unified.Ffmpeg.FfRunException: Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Unified.Ffmpeg.FfRunException: ffprobe failed - streams and format are both null: -i file:"/4K电影/黑豹2：瓦坎达万岁 Black Panther 2 - Wakanda Forever.2022.COMPLETE.UHD.BLURAY-SURCODE" -threads 0 -v info -print_format json -show_streams -show_chapters -show_format -show_data ffprobe version 5.1-emby_2023_06_25_p4 Copyright (c) 2007-2022 the FFmpeg developers and softworkz for Emby LLC built with gcc 10.3.0 (crosstool-NG 1.25.0) file:/4K电影/黑豹2：瓦坎达万岁 Black Panther 2 - Wakanda Forever.2022.COMPLETE.UHD.BLURAY-SURCODE: Is a directory

Also another question. example: I put seasons of He-Man and the masters of the universe into several collections but for some reason it keeps bunching them all up together and putting them into a dropdown box in it. Is there a way to prevent this?

Hello Sean429, ** This is an auto reply ** Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you. It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread: Thank you. Emby Team

Hello, I have been having issues with playback using the Emby for Android app on my new Google 4k Streamer device. The most recent example, I was playing a 1080p bluray rip of Skyfall. The app would take upwards of 5-8 seconds to begin playing the movie, and would play smoothly for a short while, then begin dropping frames or pause entirely for several seconds. I have been using Emby for a while on a variety of devices in my house and have not had any issues with streaming content before including my phone, my LG OLED C5, and an older Sony Bravia A80j. The only new thing to my setup was that I connected a Google 4k Streamer device to my LG TV (I can't stand LG's interface, and I wanted better android app support), so I assume that this device is likely related to this issue. I don't really think its network bandwidth related, as I'm able to use this device to stream a variety of other content without lag and stutters, i.e. youtube, amazon prime video, etc... but I can't completely rule it out either. I have read older threads and online discourse about how this device doesn't always play nice with Emby due to issues with handling Dolby Vision profiles, but I don't know if that is what is causing the current problem, or if its some other ghost in the machine. I've attached my server log and ffmpeg transcode log for reference. Any thoughts on what I can try to do for troubleshooting? Thanks, ffmpeg-transcode-03fa4806-46a1-4bad-be53-d8b623b411cc_1.txt embyserver (1).txt

I apologize for the delay in response. I suffer from a few heart problems that put me down from time to time. My biggest things here: #1. How do you move your collection to another drive and retain your collections? #2. Can you add a feature where you can mass select movies and TV shows and change the images In one shot. #3. Can you make it so that every movie and TV show you can use IMDB, ThemovieDB, TheTVDB etc for metadata? Some of the services link the wrong info and it’s pretty bad and in some situations you cannot use another site for Metadata.

re-welp... I was on the road for a week, just got back, and now it's happening again. Server log attached. The file I'm attempting to play is not an AV1, it's an MKV container, with a 4k Dolby Vision HEVC, dolby profile 8.1, profile main 10, 24mbps. Audio EAC3 5.1 atmos 768 kbps. I've watched tons of files like this in the past, they've always worked in the past. embyserver.txt

I was playing 4k DV HDR content in DV mode and caught a recurrence. Please see attached app log and logcat around the same time stamp. Seems to me like there's a player timeout when the display device changes due to the screensaver, I think it's switching to SDR because it says modeId 21 with defeaultModeId 21 since it should be SDR by default, and then I see modeId 10 which is probably HDR from the app trying to recover by transcoding (remux) which ends up triggering HDR instead of DV, and the video plays with the screensaver running in front of it. emby_android_1786045139632.txtlogcat_emby_android_1786045139632.txt

Yes, where is taht located? My download page (windows selected) shows

You mean this release?

Currently the beta channel forces an install. Would it be possible to allow for Portable Installations of the beta version?

I still haven't gotten a prompt to update, so I don't know but... is this really it? 8 months later and still no fix for the horizontal layout?

@jan_axhell - don't worry, the issue is 100% on our side. Transcoding must be enforced in case when creating segmented webvtt subtitles. I have very recently explained how it works. And we actually had apps/server doing that, so this problem prroblem hadn't surfaced. It looks to me like this enforcement has been removed recently without knowing why it's needed.

Ive seen a couple of threads for DV Profile 5.0 for clients without the necessary hardware. I was just wondering what the status is? If the delay is due to performance issues, I understand that realtime streaming may not be possible yet while its figured out. However, as a holdover solution, would it make sense to add this ability to the conversion system? This way if a client was having the issue, they could kick off a conversion? TIA Scott

Okay, thank you very much.
