I continue to have this issue with the latest Emby for Android release. To clarify one point, if I fast forward live TV into the future, the picture appears to be stuck, but it appears that the app is waiting until live TV catches up to the future time. For example, if I fast forward 10 seconds into the future, the picture is frozen for 10 seconds and then live TV resumes and plays normally. I assume the intended behavior is to not allow fast forwarding into the future. Thanks.

That looks sick I want mine like that, reminds me of what I use to make with swishmax back before AI and add audio and mouse over to it.

I usually have no problem viewing movie files, but occasionally this happens. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I view this as doing it it layers. I want to start off with tight settings and then it would be nice to have a button for 'looser' settings so you could easily swap between pre-sets depending on how much it bothers you to have the marker wrong. I am seeing an issue with 2.9.0.5 in that it seems to stop with a 'complete' mark after only doing a couple hundred episodes even though it says there are over 10K left to do. I'll reboot the logs and try to minimize activity to get a clean capture tonight after everyone goes to bed.

I like the way it works now if I want to watch a channel I use the play button if I want to record the news I click the ok button and record etc.. Also I was thinking about the channel tags if you have a subscription for one user you can make up their channels on a tag with their login name on it then do the same for other people use a different subscription with their login name and tag set to their username. This way each user can have there own set of channels tailored to them as long as no one else adds all of the other peoples tags lol. Maybe down the road have it so you can password the tags keeping people out of ones not for them

Very keen for this to be added. I have a Watchlist at the top of my home screen, but removing items from it once I've watched them is currently a chore.

yeah it was just easier to drag the whole folder over to the new drive. original: /mnt/My Files/Television/ with TV Series, TV Specials, Last Night's, Series To Catch Up On /mnt/My Files/Movies/ with Movies,/Movies/ With Movies, Movie Series, Movies To Watch

What I‘m really missing is an option to cast playback to a device of my choice with a neat library view. I realized that with an extra button for the library share, than have to pick the player and the media. It‘s more of a workaround, as the library opens in a small popup which is annoying and looks really bad.

@hiimcourtyEmby's live tv management and features are underwhelming and have been for a long time. Fortunately, solutions do exist and add a lot of capability. I've used Xteve, IPTVBoss, Threadfin, and currently use Dispatcharr to manage a consolidated m3u and epg across 2 HDHomerun tuners and iptv streams with multiple epg sources including SchedulesDirect. Dispatcharr is hands-down the best and most feature rich. I copy the audio and video directly, but configure the ffmpeg flags for higher reliability/resiliency and Emby manages the specific device stream logic. As it pertains to your use case Dispatcharr has a multiview plugin that is hardware accelerated. One consideration is that a multiview 2x2 requires 4+ streams. If your provider limits you to 1 or 2 streams Dispatcharr can work around this by managing multiple IPTV accounts if needed.

Thanks for taking a look, Eigeplackter! You're right, media_player entities already give you a lot of the playback information. For me, EMBi is also about making the extra sensors and player management easy to set up through the UI, without having to build the sensors in YAML. I'm really curious to see what the community comes up with and what you actually need in everyday use. I've got a few ideas of my own, but I'm very open to yours too. So please do share your wishes, ideas and anything you're missing — that's exactly the kind of feedback I'd love to get!

I guess March 2027 instead of the initial March 2026.

Te5, Ok, sorry. I have a habit of not reading everything. Just ignore my entry and carry on I also like having themes and have found a long list of around 2000 titles and composers of music to match content. Often, I like my selection better than the original music. I thought about just posting the list without the files, but I don't think anyone would be interested.

EmbyCredits does not upload time stamps to TheIntroDB or any other site. What it can do it look up TheIntroDB for end credit time stamps before using resources on detecting them. If you want to contribute time stamps you can detect the end credits with EmbyCredits and then use TheIntroDB plugin to upload them. Many thanks for the kinds words!

@kbeck@user24 I'm curious how you both use tags and collections. Would you mind sharing more details as what you both touch on seem very different from how I use them? Here's how I use them: Tags Media visibility I use Live TV and my m3u is managed in Dispatcharr. Events such as NCAA football games are added and removed from the m3u each week. When Emby syncs the m3u playlist it automatically creates tags corresponding to iptv groups. When all events are over and no channels exist the tag is removed which breaks dynamic media home sections. I created iptv group channels in Dispatcharr with no streams to use as placeholders to ensure tags are persisted in Emby. I manually edit the metadata for these group channels and add another tag "Hidden". Then for every user I set Parental controls to exclude the tag "Hidden". Collections Syncing external lists to Emby I create collections from external mdblists that users see on the Home Screen. Examples: Emmy Winners & Nominations Playing on Apple TV+ Playing on Disney+ Playing on HBO Trending Movies Top Kids Movies Seasonal collections that are visible during specific months such as: Christmas, Halloween

Wish i could take credit for anything here but i just thought that a double movies folder looked wrong. Happy to hear it helped in some way though.

OK just removed and readded the library and all is good now. Still no idea how that got changed since I have Dolphin open and rightclick on a folder and copy location, then paste into the setup for the particular library. It had been working fine just a couple of days before, cuase Gary watch 3 or 4 movies from that library without issue.

I‘m curious where this is going, so far I get this information by using media_player entities.

No problem. Tbh. the default settings might be a little too tight as well. Made them like that to make them as precise as possible and limit the number of false positives. It's an on going "battle" to find settings that are juuuuust right.

Thanks but it's correct. OK odd, very odd. Any idea how that gets changed in Emby without manually being changed? I almost missed what you were saying til I just went into /mnt/ and checked /My Files/ and /My Files II/. That should read /My Files II/Movies/Movies/. Watching something on the TV now so I'll fix anything in Emby that needs to be fixed and then test in a bit. Will let you know what I get. Thanks for the nice catch.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes total sense! Yes, removing or clarifying that 'skipped' display would definitely prevent confusion. I'll let the scan finish and then test manual OCR detection on the failed shows.

Okay thanks for letting me know! I'll try that as soon as it's available.

I've been waiting to jump into intro/end credits workflows for a while now. If I understood things correctly, the best approach is to start using TheIntroDB plugin to get the timestamps from the community and whatever is not detected, run yocker's awesome solution, generate timestamps and that will contribute back to the TheIntroDB community via EmbyCredits?

Just a guess but Movies/Movies/ looks like a wrong mount.

Reminded me to add that this happens in both Emby apps on the Fire TV.
