Have you tried a long press directly on a movie from the library?

This is an external EPG provider, I do not have control on the XML

@vdatanet So tonight I noticed a new thing with the App. When the end credits started and the next episode button popped up, I didn't get a chance to select it right away and it went away after a few seconds. When I hit the up button on my remote to bring back the timeline the button was still gone and I couldn't get it to come back. Is there a way to make it persistent? I am not sure if the skip intro button is doing the same thing because the show I was watching doesn't have an intro.

Try adding type=poster to the image node

Your post makes me want to look for an android tv os with latest version of android and install on a mini pc, something without an android emulator. Even half tempted to play around with this https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ just to see how close to an android tv os I can get it to look.

Here’s an example of an XML that contains only the <image> element, but the image is not displayed as either the poster or the backdrop. <programme start="20260903000000 +0000" stop="20260903013500 +0000" channel="OSNMoviesPremiere.ae@SD"><title lang="en">Black Bag</title><desc lang="en">When intelligence agent Kathryn Woodhouse is suspected of betraying the nation, her husband, also a legendary agent, faces the ultimate test of whether to be loyal to his marriage, or his country.</desc><date>20250101</date><category lang="en">Drama</category><category lang="en">Thriller</category><image>https://osn-artwork.anghcdn.co/program_landscape_tt_LIN-PR692804/2b4354db49a0a911bb32a48b12b88b5c.jpg</image></programme>

I was puzzled by this thread but now my Android devices finally updated to 3.5.55, and this new notification "connecting to server" is confusing and unneeded. @Luke could you lengthen the time before it pops up, for those of us who don't have big delays reaching our server?

Is anyone else frustrated with this UX issue? I am in a library and i want to delete a movie, i click the movie, then 3 clicks to get to the more menu, one click to enter the more menu, 5 clicks to get down to Delete, one click to get delete menu, down click to select delete, then click on delete, then click back to get to library. 14 clicks to delete a movie, this make emy unusable for any sort of library tidy or management. God forbid you want to delete a handful of videos, you'll drain the remote battery. Did no one even test using the app?

Any chance that 2.0.10 can include the fix that was part of 2.0.5 but was later undone by 2.0.6 regarding image cropping?

I was not sure what was going on for a while but now that I know it's not a big deal I'm ok with it popping up for a split second is fine.

I'm out of town right now so I can't get any logs right now. What I CAN say is that in my research it seems like there is an issue with the Google 4k streamer on some LG TVs. Might be related to problems syncing frame rates, hard to say for sure. I ended up plugging the streamer into an old Samsung TV and it works just fine there, so that leads me to conclude that LG and Google just don't mesh well sometimes.

Thank you Grim.

Ongoing discussion here:

On all devices when Emby first starts it now does this instead of the circle spinning, what gives? Clip.mp4

Well nobody has downloaded the log I posted, so I'm not sure what looking into it actually involves here.

I’ve been waiting for what feels like years for a good deal on some 8tb drives, saw a seagate external drive 16tb for £299 on Amazon a few weeks back and ordered two. Took the risk they could be opened up and installed in my NAS, so far so good but warranty might be tricky to deal with. The other alternative I was going to look into was refurbished SAS drives, you’ll need a controller of course but those drives are a lot cheaper.

Not sure if actor bio's should contain more than the movies that are on Emby. No actual bio - Yet ? I have just somehow managed to highlight Movies and TV shows thumbs at the same time. Probably a one off, but while I'm nitpicking... The alphapicker down the rhs. Its a bit to the left, not down the centre, and IMHO the font is a bit big compared to eg Sort and Filter. 10 foot interface ? Doesn't seem to show images I have for genres, for example in Movies. I have thumbs, I think 16:9 but maybe not. Maybe they're not the shape/size you're expecting.

Does this mean it should already show channels in the same order they are show under Dashboard > Live TV > Channels, as I think at the moment its showing channels by channel number (which you don't actually show...). It shows two channel 3 next to each other, for example, which I'm assuming is dvb-s channel 3 and iptv channel 3.

I found how the playback_reporting plugin is doing it. Thanks

OK I think it's only an issue in mobile layouts.

Thanks for the rapid reply. I imagine its late where you are, morning here. Personally, I always like more items in Home screen rows, I up them from 16 to 128 in Firefox, for example. As mentioned the Emby app has plenty and doesn't seem to choke. Back landing thing seems to just be when going to details of an item from the Home page, so pick a movie from Latest Movies, go to details, go back and it goes to play button for highlighted item. From a library, it goes back there as well not back to TV series thumb or whichever it was. I have tags for my dvb-s channels tagged as, surprisingly dvb-s. Suspect NextPVR does that and it feeds Emby. My iptv channels aren't tagged iptv. In the emby Apple TV app I can filter for dvb-s (and others, but not for iptv - no tags for that). So, my channels are listed in the Dashboard Live TV section as a block of dvb-s then all the iptv, maybe because I get the dvb-s from NectPVR and iptv from Emby.

Thanks! Any idea if it's on the road map?

v1.5.0.0 is up. Changed: Plugin settings UI is more user friendly. Webpage now remembers password for session. Fixed: Active user counts now works correctly. Libraries where strm files are placed now correctly gets instantly scanned so files shows up. WatchPartyForEmby.dll

Tbh, to me that looks completely out of this plugin's scope - you should evaluate some other community plugins, like EmbyIcons.

Can you give me a hint as to where a notification is that could be sent to a plugin for start and stop playing?
