3.5.30 also breaks SW AV1 playback on Nvidia Shield Pro (works in 3.5.16 and apparently was broken in 3.5.28 but fixed again in 3.5.29). If that could be looked at please?

For just this reason, I prefer for a very long time Plex, as it just renders font attached external ass subs without problem. Now, I'm using Plex on android TV os, and infuse on tvos. But Emby is more problem-free than Plex when it is about performance. So, when this is implemented, I'll switch back to Emby.

I can't reproduce this and it isn't a behaviour that I've seen reported by anyone else. If it is specific to 2025 models then I'm not sure that I will be able to reproduce. Can you PM a sample file to me that has this issue and I will try and confirm that it isn't a file related issue?

I would not be confident that you will get the solution you are looking for, especially as the use of separate ASS subtitles, let alone with attached fonts, is so rare (I have never come across them). In the time you've already waited for a solution it would have been easy to merge the subtitles with the videos using MKVToolNix (which will convert the fonts attached to ASS files into MKV attachments), and get round the issue completely; you could even have developed scripts to do it easily if you continue getting media in this format.

Did you network change from privat to public? It needs to be set to privat.

Thanks but for some reason I don't get the 'Edit Subtitles' in the dropdown menu. I have the opensubtitles plugin, and I can login to the opensubtitles.com site Having just checked Downloads, there are none showing in emby server. I selected a path to save the plugins on my NAS server, and there is a plugin folder there with 20 *'dll filles there. The path is: /mnt/WinShare/Media/TV Shows Now my NAS server has a zfs file system, and I don't think the dll files can be read, unless I am barking up the wrong tree. Advise please.

A riesgo de ser pesado... Ha habido algún avance en este tema? Saludos.

Main purpose of this topic is to ask help about how to view font attached ass subtitles. For external use especially. Not the video.

Yes, correct. I did that and it still came up with errors. Went into the firewall and un-selected emby saved. Went back in and selected emby. Nothing has changed. My Plex server is working fine.

Yeah, a reddit user suggested ChatGPT, and the AI overlord has granted the wish. The TV was updated and it deleted all known servers/credentials. All i had to do in the end was to manually input the complete url into the app for it to find it again. We can close that thread. Thanks

I must say I am also very satisfied. 4K works, live TV with the TVH plugin works. No crashes. Very good work.

Hallo zusammen, ich komme nicht mehr auf die Emby Konfigurationspage über mein Synology NAS. Ich bin schon so weit gegangen um habe das komplette NAS zurückgesetzt, ohne Erfolg. Nach Installation der Emby App, öffnet sich das Browserfenster und nach einer Weile erscheint "ERROR: Gateway Timeout". Mein Betriebssystem ist Mac OS, die Firewall auf dem Synology NAS deaktiviert. Es funktionierte fast 1 Jahr fehlerfrei, nun dies. Was kann ich tun?

Suggest the strm files are not pointing to actual media files. Emby will not play anything it cannot get media info from. 2026-02-12 03:15:34.623 Debug App: Running FFProbeProvider for /Volumes/My Passport/M3UFiles/TV Shows/The Pitt (2025)/Season 02/The Pitt (2025) [tt31938062] S02E03.strm 2026-02-12 03:15:34.624 Info MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Execute: /Applications/EmbyServer.app/Contents/MacOS/ffprobe -i "https://providerURL/username/password/tvshow/tt31938062/2/3" -threads 0 -v info -print_format json -show_streams -show_chapters -show_format -show_data 2026-02-12 03:15:34.859 Debug MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Started. 2026-02-12 03:15:35.234 Debug EncodingManager: Deleting temp folder /Users/username/emby-server/transcoding-temp/8B3B7E 2026-02-12 03:15:35.372 Info MediaProbeManager: ProcessRun 'ffprobe' Process exited with code 0 2026-02-12 03:15:35.375 Error App: Error in ffprobe *** Error Report *** Version: 4.9.3.0 Command line: /Applications/EmbyServer.app/Contents/MacOS/EmbyServer.dll Operating system: Darwin 24.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 24.3.0: Thu Jan 2 20:24:06 PST 2025; root:xnu-11215.81.4~3/RELEASE_ARM64_T8103 OS/Process: arm64/arm64 Framework: .NET 6.0.36 Runtime: Applications/EmbyServer.app/Contents/MacOS/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 8 Data path: /Users/username/emby-server Application path: /Applications/EmbyServer.app/Contents/MacOS Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Unified.Ffmpeg.FfRunException: Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Unified.Ffmpeg.FfRunException: ffprobe failed - streams and format are both null: -i "https://providerURL/username/password/tvshow/tt31938062/2/3" -threads 0 -v info -print_format json -show_streams -show_chapters -show_format -show_data ffprobe version 5.1-emby_2023_06_25_p4 Copyright (c) 2007-2022 the FFmpeg developers and softworkz for Emby LLC built with clang version 18.1.8 [https @ 0x600002e68240] HTTP error 404 Not Found https://providerURL/username/password/tvshow/tt31938062/2/3: Server returned 404 Not Found { } at Emby.Server.MediaEncoding.Probing.MediaProbeManager.GetMediaInfoInternal(String inputPath, String primaryPath, MediaProtocol protocol, Dictionary`2 requestHeaders, Boolean extractChapters, String probeSizeArgument, Boolean isAudio, Boolean hasMixedProtocols, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Providers.MediaInfo.FFProbeVideoInfo.ProbeVideo[T](MetadataResult`1 metadataResult, MetadataRefreshOptions options, BaseItem[] collectionFolders, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Emby.Providers.Manager.MetadataService`2.RunCustomProvider(ICustomMetadataProvider`1 provider, MetadataResult`1 itemResult, String logName, MetadataRefreshOptions options, BaseItem[] collectionFolders, LibraryOptions libraryOptions, RefreshResult refreshResult, CancellationToken cancellationToken) Source: Emby.Server.MediaEncoding TargetSite: Void MoveNext()

I’m assuming you are on a windows machine and you’re talking about the taskbar icon in the bottom right hand side… What happens when you right select on the emby server icon like you did when you rebooted the server but select ‘Configure Emby’ instead? This should open up a browser using the local host and the configured Emby port. If this doesn’t open then there’s potentially something seriously wrong with your local firewall or anti-malware software. There was also a windows update back in October 2025 (KB5066835) that caused some local host issues for HTTP/2

Probably my mistake.. It was like almost 2am I was pretty tired and stressed trying to get that fix out Best way to test is by navigating to the Home Screen settings in the plugin and check if the selected user in source user is grayed out in the “sync to” section. If so, you have the latest update. Not sure why this happened.. I rebuilt the .dll with no changes to the code and now it works. Thanks for reporting! Edit: Updated the dll on github and attached here aswell. No real need to update if it work as above. I'm gonna put out another bugfix later today/tonight with the reported bug for light theme where the menu doesnt show. HomeScreenCompanion.dll

Wops, i will fix that. I don't feel comfortable with messing with the Emby user and passwords (if even possible) but i can look into making the password system better. I just never really felt it was needed as it was just watch parties. All i can think of for now is separate passwords for creating and deleting though. Both and be equally destructive.

I have tried all of them.

Right and I asked you a question earlier, which of those 4 bullet point options do you intend to proceed with? For example, try clicking the link in the first one.

OK we are looking into it. Thanks.

What exactly happens when you try?

When I try to open a browser with emby, it shows up the same as the screenshots that I posted originally.

Yes. I can not login to emby, I restarted it from the hidden icons area of the pc.

@Geophphthere is a server transcoding setting called enable on the fly subtitle extraction. did you disable this? can you please try turning it back on? Thanks.

My channel lineup is configured for channel number low to high. So at the very top of my guide is over the air channel 2.1 and the bottom of the list is channel 67.1 The onn remote has some buttons that act differently depending on context. It looks like the following: You'll see there is a volume +/- which obviously only works on the physical TV as well as the mute. To the right is an ^ and v which if used in TV context, is channel up/down. However, in the Onn box apps, it seems like most apps expect the D-pad to do the channel up/down in guides (as tested in free apps like Pluto/Roku channel/Tubi/Xumo). The channel up/down doesn't do anything. When I use Emby, the ^ and v act as page up/down in the guide as expected (android tv version). When I use the universal android app, pressing ^ makes the guide go in the opposite direction. This means, if I am on say, channel 45.1, pressing ^ moves me down to like channel 54.4 down the list, when the android tv Emby goes up the list to channel 21.1 in the EPG. Here are some pics: Android TV starting at channel 45.1 Press v (page down): go back to 45.1 and press ^ (page up): Now on the universal Emby for Android app, again starting at 45.1: Press v (page down) I end up on channel 21.1 which is further up: Return to 45.1 and then press ^ (page up): The android tv version acts like expect a page up/down same as like the old windows media center or tivo style guides, while the universal app acts the opposite way I would expect. I'm not sure how much the universal app was tested against tv boxes and remotes, but I suspect it's just in the code the mapped buttons are reversed for the function calls. I don't think this is specific to Onn boxes either as someone I know has a FireTV box and I believe the newest remote has a channel or page up/down button and they verified the same behavior as I'm seeing.
