Hi everyone, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Zerk Play. It’s a custom Windows desktop front-end for Emby designed specifically for those who want a "lean-back" experience on a big screen without the overhead of a full browser. What makes it different? Native Direct Play: Powered by media_kit / mpv on Windows, so it handles almost any codec natively without forcing your server to transcode. *Built-in seerr Integration: Seamlessly browse and request content via Overseerr/Jellyseerr directly within the app. If you don't have it, you can request it in one click. Couch-Friendly UI: Designed for fast browsing and high-visibility artwork. Dynamic Recommendations: Includes "Because you watched" and "Trending" rows pulled from your Emby history and *seerr instance. Features: Full Search (Library + Requests) Skip Intro & Autoplay support Multi-language UI (English & Romanian + more to come) Built-in Auto-updater I'm currently focused on the Windows build, but an Android TV version is high on the roadmap and with other versions being considered! Check out the repo for screenshots and the latest release: GitHub

Thanks. Yes, music often depends on the transcoder. I'll test this tomorrow.

new version on github, language selection, duration next to the movie size.

Please see: Is there a limit to Emby Premiere?

That's not new, actually it's quite old. It does exactly what it says, Emby collections/boxsets are assigned to Kodi tags. Mainly used when the same movie is assigned to multiple collections on Emby. Kodi's boxsets cannot handle that but Kodi tags can. leave it disabled unless you have issues.

What is the new setting boxsets as tags.

Thanks for your help.

Lol! I see what you mean with "Ild Kugle!" that would be just wrong.. I just feel that Bazarr, even if it translated pretty good, it still feels unnatural often.. like machine translating sentences like a book, not like a spoken dialog. like if the original text is "Hi, do you want coffee? No, I'm good" would translate to "Hej, vil du have kaffe?, Nej, Jeg er god" and so on.. It does not understand slang or spoken dialog as well as an llm..

New version up at yocksers/EmbyReporter: Report issues in Emby. Added some of functionality. 1) User and admin can chat with each other. 2) Issue status 3) Notification appears on new reply from admin on the mainpage for the user. 4) Button in the side bar for opening the chat. 5) Toast message gets sent to user when they are watching a video so they don't miss the reply. 6) User can close the issue, in case it was sent by mistake. Remember press the uninstall scripts before updating the plugin and to clear the cache of the browser after pressing install script.

Sorry i meant to say i use "Bazarr". 99% of the stuff i find have english subtitles, no problem to translate with Bazarr for that 1%. Also the only place where i and my users mostly use subtitles is for anime, never translate them to danish.. I don't know, just feels wrong watching those with danish subtitles for some strange reason. Looks strange watching "ILD KUGLE" being written every time someone attacks some one else.

And "Continuous Playback", does it work now for you?

I actually tried lingarr based translation, but wasn't satisfied with the quality. Also had a project where i used NLLB-200, the translating engine from Meta, which translates between all the FLORES languages, and actually trained it on norwegian and english subs to get it better at subtitle translation, but in the end, even if it was pretty good, my newest version using a mix of smart scripts and LLM processing is much better.. nearly flawless. Libretranslate was a fallback option in the NLLB-200 project, and it also had a web-interface with drag and drop etc. It is here: https://github.com/dexusno/srtxlate And if you want to use local models only, probably the best i have seen. But as deepseek api is so incredibly cheap, and also produce so much better results, I use the new project instead. I mean, you can literally translate hundreds of episodes for under 5 usd in api calls.. My newest project for files where subs are not available at all, uses a 5 step process using whisper v3 large in conjunction with local smart scripts and LLM calls to extract audio, transcribe, punctuate correctly, clean up and catch hallucinations by whisper using professional grade subtitle standards as a framework.. It works very well. https://github.com/dexusno/Transcribe-Subs

Hi there, i have a .nfo problem after upgrading server to 4.9.3.0. I have a mixed video folder full of videos with there own .nfo file for each video with release date in the nfo. i like to sort this folder by release date so i can watch them in order. Since upgrading, it looks like none of the metadata is being read for this folder. Im hoping its a quick fix as all my movie and tv series remain unaffected which have the same structure .nfo files. I have attached a .nfo to show the structure. thanks Wrestlepalooza 2025-09-20.nfo

I sure asked Ai about my issue if thats what you mean ?

thanks, will do

Hej! I actually made a project to use whisper as well.. But as I am a bit of a perfectionist, I was not very happy with the pure whisper output.. so I made it a 5 step process, where whisper first transcribes, then some smart logic and 2 passes to a LLM gets the subs to where I would like them.. near perfect. The project is here: https://github.com/dexusno/Transcribe-Subs You can read about the inner workings of the project in the Readme.md on git.. It was fun to develop.

Thank you. I was able to make it work. That is, I just updated the server and then let Kodi scan normally. Problems started when I decided to reset the Kodi local database and let it rescan everything. I noticed that using collections and tags in place of smart playlists is slow because the addon has to rescan the videos if there are many entries in the lists. Also, the Emby Android app lacks features like showing the community rating and other details on movies as one browses playlists. The viewing function is much better in Kodi.

It was pre-installed within the image here: https://emby.media/emby-theater-rpi.html

Hallo, Wenn ich einen Film (HDR) abspiele ist er an der ein oder anderen Szene mit dem Standard Player der firetv app extrem dunkel bzw. Verwaschen. Auf einer android tv streaming box ebenfalls. Verwende ich einen externen Player ( in der emby app umgestellt), ich verwende vlc ist alles normal. (Direct Play) Leider fehlen mir im vlc dann die Funktionen des normalen players.... Gibt es da evtl. Eine Lösung?

Will this work on ARM Mac?

Hey guys, I built a small open-source tool called Erasarr — it automatically cleans up watched movies and TV episodes from Emby/Jellyfin by talking directly to Sonarr and Radarr. No Trakt.tv required. It reads watch history straight from your media server. What it does: Unmonitor / delete files after users watch them Supports multiple Sonarr and Radarr instances Per-rule delays, keep-last-N protection, require-all-users-watched Web UI + Docker, or run it from the CLI I made it for myself because I was tired of maintaining two Sonarr setups and a Trakt.tv script. I don't have a deep programming background — I built it with help from Claude — so use it carefully, especially the first time. Always run with Dry Run first before enabling live deletions. GitHub: https://github.com/nenchi/erasarr Happy to hear feedback or bug reports!

OK... can do, i'm assuming you have a Samsung TV then ... but can i also just mention that even music playback is failing ? Will PM you details shortly

I'm having this issue on the latest beta as well. They're custom genres I added manually to movies, and then removed, but they still show up.

Correct, but I could see a bitrate limit of about 7mb/s on that playback attempt, so it would have still been trying to transcode. Do you want to set me up with a remote account and access to a few of these files, then PM me the connection details? It will be interesting to see if I can playback. That might help us to know if it's on the server or client side.

Nope... No additional services, just a basic router with no recent changes, same internet /wifi setup has been in place over 12 mths and as mentioned other devices in the house can connect to Emby with no issues Also just confirmed, removing the remote steaming settings on the server has not helped /changed anything
