Agree with everything you said. You might also consider looking at something that's actually geared more for streaming local media like a Shield, Cube, etc. They usually support more codecs like TrueHD Atmos and DTSX. I've got a Shield plugged into my soundbar, and it works pretty well. TVs usually gear themselves toward supporting streaming services. Anyhow, hopefully Luke can get that update pushed for you.

Hi @SamES Do you have an estimate of when we will have an update on the Emby server and app for LG TV?

@NeminemOver the weekend I will check on the bios side as I do not want to try to do that during the week since all is good. I have multiple epg providers b/c I have a mix of channels that cover many areas. Yes that can take quite a while for a guide update but please explain what you mean by "fight about time slots" as it relates to the application starting up the first time? Not sure what you mean by this. Thank!!!

Would love to see this as well. In my mind this should be two-fold. Global setting per library, and the ability for users to overwrite their own personal preference per library in the same way as they choose their default landing page per library.

Hi guys, hoping some of you techies or someone on the dev team can please help and let me know if the problem I'm having is normal behaviour or something my end needs to be fixed! I've always had a shortcut in my Windows taskbar that when clicked on takes me directly to the 'Upcoming' TV section on my Emby server so I can check daily which new TV shows from my library I need to check for new episodes etc. The problem is this link takes 15+ minutes to display any upcoming TV show information that I'm pretty sure used to display quite quickly! If after a few minutes of waiting in frustration I refresh the web page I can see a red warning message flash on and off the screen in the background which makes me think there is something definitely wrong? I've attached some screenshots below (with the server ID and Parent ID removed) if someone could please take a look to see if there are any formatting errors contained in the link to see if it's pointing to the correct place Emby expects in order to get the 'Upcoming TV' information? Also what is the easiest way currently to find out what your 'ServerID' and 'ParentID' details are that's needed to get the above 'Upcoming TV' link to work correctly? Grateful for any helpful advice please guys and huge thanks in advance

Series arnt playing ?

Well YouTube is different. It shouldn’t be trying to probe it in the first place. That URL points to a web page, not to an actual video file.

Thanks for looking, Luke. No change, even after a reboot. Observation: Once a left/right arrow is clicked (selects row), left/right kbd arrow keys still work to navigate.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

@user24 might be up for looking at them.

Works great, thanks @GrimReaper

Thanks for following up.

I would try removing the playlists library from Emby library setup. Then after the scan finishes, then use the web app to create a new playlist to recreate it.

Hi. Please contact whomever gave you access to their server. It wasn't us. Thanks.

Hi, there's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

Hi, please try restarting the app and see if that helps.

thanks for that context @FrostByteand all that makes sense. However, those of us with *slightly* older TV (mine is a 2022 Art Frame which doesn't feel "that old" to my bank account) feel trapped as (a) we get treated like second class citizens by Samsung and (b) Samsung impose a 1 month timebomb any app that is sideloaded so we just can't win here. I get that's not an "EMBY" fault but someone's gotta fight the fight. I use the trailer feature a lot for my media collection and have been without this feature for what feels like a year now.

I'm aware, but my environment has been static since the v4.9.3.0 release & yet, Theater behavior has changed, so they are messing w/ things somewhere. To address your question re: the new Windows app... my IPTV tends to terminate quickly, albeit randomly on the new Windows app only. Since IPTV sources are considered a semi-tabu subject & Theater has always been stable & time precious(-ish ;^), I'd chosen to stick w/ what worked for me. That has changed.

OK So FINALLY noticed at the top "Videos", "Photos", and "Folders". Easy.

Theater is no longer getting updates to support new server features or changes I'm afraid. At some point the Emby team will probably advise not to upgrade past a certain server version like the old WMC. Have you tried the new app? The latest beta which wont be far away from being released has been tidied up, only thing it doesnt yet include is external player support.

I have the exact same problem, but with audio books (it seems that they are working similarly to music albums). I have given parental ratings to all audio books I have and configured my child's account with a proper rating. It's working fine for TV Shows and Movies but for audio books the Audio Books (aka Albums) tab is always empty. I've found that un-selecting this option (from the screenshot below) fixes the Audio Books tab, but it displays all audio books no matter the parental rating. It looks like music/audiobooks libraries don't "see" parental ratings and tags properly. As I already said, it's working perfectly for TV Shows and Movies Emby Server 4.9.3.0, all clients (Android, iPad OS, Web)

Do you have a bad Bios batterie in your system? 2026-03-01 14:13:25.205 Info SystemEvents: SystemEvents_TimeChanged Then a little later this 2026-03-01 14:17:07.893 Info SystemEvents: SystemEvents_TimeChanged To me this might mean system time is off at boot, or you have multipel EPG providers monitoring the same shows and fighting about time slots.
