Tks. The quotes are going to be tricky to accomodate as those are used to pass the params to the external executables - you may have to live with that one. The HDR in AV1 .. good call, I don't think I had an HDR AV1 file to see how Mediainfo presented that. Can you post a JSON output from the file via the GUI Mediainfo ?

For the border you want /* --- UI DIMENSIONS & SHAPES --- */ --hover-border-thickness: 2px; /* Thickness for glow borders on hover */ I'll look into the mystery of the sleeping logo.

Some friends pointed out that the latest Jellyfin Android TV client now fully supports Vimu as an external player for the exact same reasons I mentioned earlier. I tested it yesterday, and it’s true: Jellyfin now passes the resume tokens to Vimu perfectly. However, I much prefer the Emby interface; it looks far more polished and professional than Jellyfin’s layout. In my opinion, as a paid Emby user, it would be great to see the same level of external player integration that the free Jellyfin app already provides. It would make Emby the undisputed leader for high-end home theater enthusiasts who rely on Vimu for the best possible playback experience.

Forgotten about the problems you had, very sorry about that. Not sure precisely what Emby goes after when catalog is used but i would guess changing the version number to some high number would be enough, to be 100% safe the "[assembly: Guid("b8d0f5a4-3e96-4c0f-a6e2-9f0c2ecb5c5f")]" in Assemblyinfo.cs can be changed too to something else.

haha yes, thats exactly what i did.

No I don't think so. I double checked and I did already have all the permissions set. I honestly don't know what happened last time, but it does seem to be working now and I've got a telegram bot to warn me if the directory starts ballooning again.

@SamESThanks for suggestion. I‘m currently not on site, but I‘ll look into it asap and report back.

I guess you are running Emby beta.

I've been using Emby for Kodi and had to use an external flash drive and the pathsubstitution setting in Kodi to use it for the thumbnails folder, and thus free up space in the Android TV. I found out that if something goes wrong with the library scan such that I have to reset the local database or uninstall the addon and make a new library scan, then scanning can be very slow because it's writing to the external drive. I have to remove the pathsubstitution setting first and let the addon scan the library and write to device storage first, and then after that put back the pathsubstitution setting. Finally, I don't know if things will be easier if I use the Android settings and configure it to make Kodi store its user files in the flash drive, or if it won't make a difference.

Hey @yocker, it's really cool that it is now in the pluginstore but can you maybe help me out because i used a custom compiled version of it with my own icons and it was simply overwritten now. If i create and compile the project as you advised couple months ago what do i need to change so that the autoupdate feature doesn't overwrite it again? Thanks again for this awesome plugin and the constant updates!

For now, I haven't seen anything relevant, except for this thing that happens to me. The image of the emby logo that appears next to the start menu icon does not appear. I have tried your clean code without modifying anything and it doesn't appear either. And a question, the border that appears when selecting a library or in the dialogs, I can't find that thickness, can you tell me where I change it? I leave you a screenshot of both things. Thank you

I'm not sure exactly when this began but at least in the past few beta versions I now have a "Recently searched" which appears before my search results. Not only is this annoying, I cannot find a way to shut this off, and it shows results for items not related to the search itself. In addition, there are now huge gaps of empty page space between this and search results. i watched one episode of Sally yesterday. I did not search for the episode, yet it insists that I did and that I had searched for many others. Its unfortunate that the most basic functionality of Emby which has worked perfect for years is now broken. What is the fix for this? More nonsense: More nonsense:

On one of the recent Emby beta releases earlier this year, there were optional sub-headings for the new home screen sections. This has since been removed, but I thought I'd try a similar idea for the custom Group By views. This possibly simplifies the Release Type mappings, on import, and also provides a way to show more info without it being the (large-bold-font) main heading: As a proof-of-concept, it seems to be quite useful. Any changes to the Release Type sub-headings and the Decade headings/sub-headings do not require any changes to the Album Tags, so can be updated independently and relatively easy.

These aren’t contributing artists?

Any ideas? A few days before my first post this started, and seems to impact anyone using LG or Samsung app. Android and Roku seen unaffected. All three of my users effected worked fine till last week, now almost nothing plays for them. Emby didn't update, and while LG seems to have had an update earlier this month, nothing lines up with when the problem started. Testing/logs seem to show either the TVs aren't reporting back that they need transcoding, or if they are, Emby isn't starting it. So the streams are incompatible. Roku, Android, Web all seem to work as normal. And transcode when needed.

Any updates on this st all? The large gap under my media section is still there

Emby’s gradual rollout of Apple Silicon GPU acceleration is because macOS relies on a different video pipeline (VideoToolbox) that needs to be properly wired into ffmpeg. Since Emby uses ffmpeg for transcoding, the real work lies in making that integration stable on Apple’s tightly controlled hardware, not in the language or CPU translation layer. As an independent technical user with no affiliation to Emby, it’s obvious Luke and the team are putting in serious effort while also supporting a wide range of platforms. Hardware acceleration on something like a Celeron-based NAS didn’t happen overnight either—it took time to mature. This will get there as well, and when it does, it should deliver the same level of stability Emby users already expect.

Found two little bugs: 1. A movie title enclosed in "" holds back the complete treatment. It's enough to manually edit the metadata and then reprocess. 2. HDR in AV1-encodes doesn't get recognized.

Was this what happened?

That's OK. That's not really meant to be configurable. Actually we should probably just prevent the dialog from showing altogether.

OK that would be great. Thanks.

Okay. I deleted the old Playlists library. I then started a new playlist which added a Playlists library to Emby showing 2 folders. But when I go into the library, it doensn't show me the paths to where it's looking for its data. I've included screenshots.

This is a weird one. I used a third party app to test example channels (TV Land). My Provider gives us three. One is TV Land UHD and works but its latent in Emby. One is TV Land West, it works fine in Emby. Lastly is TV Land East, local to me, and it will not play at all in Emby, I get the "no compatible stream" popup. I tested all three channels in another application, and they all streamed normally. I monitored my memory usage when trying to run TV Land EAST in Emby, and memory usage was normal. Also, I got the same result different browser. Chrome and Firefox. My provider offeres hundres of channels and 98% work fine, Just a handful are problematic. TV Land is one of them. Since all three channels work fine in a different application, I chose to post this here for expert opinion.

Hi @Luke- please note I have provided logs back in February

They're manual collections. I did some further investigation. I have the playback reporting plugin installed and I looked at the movies that were affected (i.e. removed from a collection) and compared it to those that weren't. It seems that the movies that got removed had their ID changed. When I click on a movie through this plugin (which takes you to the movie page in emby directly, emby shows an error "The requested item could not be found. It may have been recently removed from the server." However movies that weren't affected work fine and just go to that movie (i.e. the movie item ID has not changed). However if I search for the affected movie and check the stats, it says e.g. "Added 06/01/2021" so I'm not sure. I have emby server installed on a synology box and recently added a drive so I'm not sure if maybe it temporarily moved the file or became temporarily unavailable to emby? I would have though the "Added" item in emby would change though. Is there a way to keep item IDs persistent?
