Nuvio app looks like emby but it looks better imo only thing is it has no live tv guide and stuff but damn i tried it and it looks good just sayen. You may want to pick up the pace if you want to keep up just sayen.

@Luke Hi, I noticed that the design of Emby for Android TV is exactly what I expected! I was pleasantly surprised! (But I’d rather not use Emby for Android TV—it has fewer features and more issues.) As shown in the video, when I select Episode 3 and press the down arrow on the remote, the following happens: 1. Episode 3 is selected in the “More from” section. Screenbits 2026-07-25_132556.mp4 You said, but the fact is that Emby for Android TV is designed to display the current episode. 2. Another great feature is that the cursor always stays in the center of the screen. Screenbits 2026-07-25_132620.mp4 Could you bring these two features from Emby for Android TV to Emby Web and the Emby Universal App? Thank you very much!

The news, I never hardly watch anything im just the tv man for the people i know

Hello, based on this post, I enabled ”Show a poster on the detail screen“. Then I noticed a problem on my Android TV: 1. I go to the first episode. 2. Then I press the down arrow on the remote. At this point, it should select the second episode, but it selects the third episode instead. Screenbits 2026-07-25_130411.mp4 Before enabling ”Show a poster on the detail screen“, the cursor worked fine; Screenbits 2026-07-25_130535.mp4 but after enabling ”Show a poster on the detail screen“, the cursor jumps erratically—it often selects the episode after the next one, or the episode before the previous one. Screenbits 2026-07-25_130721.mp4 Please fix this. Thank you.

Hi, I'm, curious. This plugin seems to not work at all. Playlist (Live) plays a 60 second video of blackness with no sound (repeated infinitely). Playlist (Archive) plays videos from the beginning. Continuous (Any) gives spinning wheel forever. Native (Any) starts videos from the beginning. I guess I just don't understand it.

Hi, startup behavior is an option in the app's settings menu.

Continuous changelog for Apple TV in a single topic for reference. The topic remains locked. Please create your own topics or reply to the individual release posts.

Hello, this solution works on the web, but it doesn't work on Android TV. Because when I open this option on Android TV, The whole layout looks unbalanced and a little odd. That’s why Plex and Jellyfin haven’t adopted this design. As shown in the image, you can see that Wholphin’s interface is much more attractive and harmonious. Sorry, maybe I should start a new topic—the discussion has shifted to optimizing the Android TV layout. In any case, if you don’t plan to optimize the current design, this option is indeed a useful alternative.

Not sure how it works, but on the Home screen, and maybe others too, changing the size of the poster on the web app or the Windows app changes sizes on both, whereas I want one to be small and the other to be medium (or something like that).

Hi, the "more from" section is not intended to show information about the current episode. It's there to help you get to the next episode. why not just enable the poster on the detail screen? then you will see the poster for episode 4.

I hope the developers see this also.. I have found it so odd that we have the "Game Browser" and all you can do is view the games and do nothing with them. Its a complex setup to run a rom and I think it missing out what everyone expects it to do. Your plug in is the step in the right direction. Me and my wife were at lunch today, in the web browser playing Tetris and it works perfectly. It was fun knowing we were exactly 70 miles away in the browser, the controls showed up in the right spots and we could play the game. Bravo.I am very excited to see where this may go.

Hi, how have you configured the startup behavior option in the app? Could never get the 'built-in' Emby 'start on windows startup' to work so I've been placing the Emby Theater shortcut in the Windows startup folder. Like I mentioned, this is happening on all my Emby Theater clients, and they are all configured the same on start up. They've been working for years until yesterday. It also just happened on the IOS Emby App, but only once. Once I selected the server I was able to restart the IOS Emby app without the 'server select' nag screen. I downloaded the Windows App version of Emby to test it and it does not seem to be experiencing this issue. Thanks

Hi everyone, I currently have an Extended Premiere subscription for 80 devices, billed monthly/annually, running on my Emby server. I'd like to convert this to a lifetime license instead of continuing with recurring payments. I saw in another thread that this isn't available as a standard checkout option, but that it might be possible to arrange directly with the Emby team. Is there a way to purchase a lifetime license for the 80-device Extended Premiere tier? If so, could someone from staff let me know the process and pricing? Thanks in advance!

@sa2000Going back a few posts, what events trigger allocated memory from being released by the memory garbage collector in .Net? Because from what I am seeing, memory is not being released on the Synology platform regardless of how long is left between scans. Over a period of 24 hours, memory usage rises to 1.2GB (approx.) on my NAS with 4GB of total memory. Once memory usage gets to that point, it hovers around that level. Nothing that happens after that results in memory being released in any consequential amount.

Webpage is working (now that I'm doing the right thing....) Scrolling is really slow with the mouse scroll wheel though.

I'm experiencing the same issue. but with Emby Theater app version 3.0.21. I'm running Emby server 4.9.5.0.

Best thing you can do it purchase a monthly reoccurring Premier subscription.

Those permissions mean anyone can read/write/delete anything, you really should learn some Linux basics if you are going to use it . Maybe start with permissions

I've been using Emby daily for many years, so many that I'm not at all sure how many. It's been a very, very solid product with a nice, steady path of improvement. These products often come and go and to have a platform work for what seems like decades now is fantastic! Please keep up the great work. Have you ever thought of adding a donation site? I suspect that many of us would make an annual donation to support the platform!!!

WootWootWoot!!!! Happy Days!

@LukeNot sure how helpful this would be, but If I provided my database file would you be able to use it to run tests against it?

I have no clue about those permissions. These are what I have and it seems to be working fine. I am unsure about security but only internal users, this server will never see the internet or anything outside of my LAN. drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jul 23 11:50 . drwxr-xr-x 4 emby users 4096 Jul 24 10:07 .. drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12288 Jul 23 03:03 Documentaries drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 311296 Jul 23 21:42 movies drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 466944 Jul 23 03:18 Music drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 00:11 Seasonal drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jul 22 23:57 .Trash-1000 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12288 Jul 23 11:50 TV NO one in my home will delete anything so am not really worried about that. They're all over 30 and everyone but me is a dev / computer science engineer, they're not going to do anything out of ignorance or anything like that. I am worried about some other repercussions due to these permissions. Will they be OK they way they are or should I change them to something else?

I seem to see the issue with just one or a few letters in the search box in the Web App (app search from other users break it to, but I really only search from web), the CPU on the Emby Process shoots up and server becomes unresponsive for a minute or three.

I'm having the same issue. It started happening last night. When launching ET (legacy version) it would normally go to the Home Screen after loading. Now it presents the "Select Server" screen. You can either select the server and it goes to the home screen or you can press/click the home button/icon and it goes to the home screen as well. My "Startup behavior" has not changed and is set to "Remember last user". Changing this to "Sign in as <user>" doesn't fix the issue. This is happening on multiple PC's. This issue started happening with client version 4.9.5.14. Version 4.9.5.13 works as expected. This is not a server issue.

Hello, here's how Emby is currently designed: When I click on Episode 4, the poster at the bottom switches to the poster for Episode 5 (as shown in the video). Screenbits 2026-07-25_065605.mp4 I hope the poster stays with Episode 4. In other words: When I click on an episode, it stays on the poster for that episode. Screenbits 2026-07-25_070031.mp4 I'm not used to the current design, when I click on Episode 4, I want to see everything about Episode 4, including its poster. But Emby shows the poster for Episode 5 instead, which really bothers me. Let's take a look at how Jellyfin does it: When you click on Episode 4, the poster for Episode 3 appears. Screenbits 2026-07-25_070621.mp4 Well, it's pretty hard to use, too... but at least it's better than Emby, because in Jellyfin, I can at least see the poster for Episode 4. Now let's take a look at how Plex handles this on TV: it uses a different design so that when we select Episode 4 to play, we see the poster for Episode 4—perfect! Screenbits 2026-07-25_070940.mp4 In short, Emby should take a cue from Jellyfin and Plex—their designs are the way to go. Of course, you don’t have to completely overhaul Emby’s current design; you could simply add an option that allows us to “When I click on an episode, Stay on the current episode's poster”
