Im guessing other users are using a different guide data, because I have seen images with programmes displayed. Any how, guessing I will have to live with channel logos Thanks for the info

What he means is the Roku is actually requesting images in WebP format from your Emby server. But is being given SVG images instead. This is because Emby server doesn't support SVG and cannot convert it into WebP to feed into the Roku. So the Roku is given the SVG in normal format, not WebP. The Roku goes, I do not understand this and throws an error and refuses to display it. Other clients, such as the web app, also request WebP. But they also contain a web rendering engine. So the SVG is also sent uncoverted to them. But unlike the Roku, the web rendering engine inside can render the SVG in normal format. This is the difference. The Roku does not have a web browser possible to create. The Roku does not have a web rendering engine.

Would there be a way to make the auto remote option be for certain devices? Here's my issue. A Family member has had auto selected on their Roku. They have Gig speed, wired internet to their Roku, but if they are on auto quality, Emby keeps transcoding down to 720p for their movies. When I had them select the manual 4k-120mbps the file plays direct perfectly. I get I can force the auto remote, but if it's for all devices that means that overrides their phones and iPads which don't need direct play (especially if they are on data). Could there be a way to select what devices somehow, or even IP address based auto setting?

Sorry must be me being stupid. You say emby doesn't support svg, so can't show programme images in 'on now' but in the tv guide it is able to. I would have thought (but known to be wrong), that if it can display in the guide, it should be able to in 'on now'

@gillmacca01Yes. If you want the images displayable for all your devices, Roku included, PNG or WebP are the way to go. We will also fix the display logic for the channel grid item so it is smarter. Thanks for letting us know about this issue. If you spot anymore keep them coming...

So I've been testing this a lot the past few months and so far here are my findings. On iOS and android apps, if both audio tracks are set to default in the mkv container, the apps select the secondary track IF the 1st track is TRUHD. If the 1st track is DTS OR DTS MA, Emby selects those and transcodes the audio even though there is a secondary track that is compatible. Today, I had a family member test playing a movie remote on their Roku. The movie played direct, and both audio files were set to default (trueHD, and Eac3),. Since Roku can't decode trued, Emby transcoded the audio without trying to switch to the second track that was compatible. I had the family member manually select the 2nd track and it played perfectly. Is there a way you could work on this behavior or anything I should try? I've scoured through all their settings and everything is set, at least from my understanding, for the movie and audio to try to play direct, and it does play direct if they select the 2nd compatible track. I've tested all this on my home setup but my chromecasts are plugged into receivers that are able to pass/unpack truehd/dts without needing anything transcoded. The goal in all this is ease for the users who don't know about these settings. I realize I could flip which default track is at the top in the container, but then that means I have to change the audio settings on my home network when my family watches movies. So, if it's possible to work that would be awesome! Thanks for all the continued support and features on Emby!

All your other devices are using a web engine for rendering and understand SVG. Emby server does not officially support SVG so it doesn't try to convert it either.

So best option is to manually download the images in png/jpg and then import? If that works it will give me channel images, but in other devices it shows the programme

If they are WebP the Roku will show them. But if they are SVG the Roku doesn't understand how to render those. Roku never added support for that image type. Right now it merely checks for the URL on the image to exist. If it does it gets display template A. If it doesn't it gets template B. But what happens if there is an error? Yeah. I do see what you mean in the guide display. The logic inside the guide needs to be smartened up. So it can understand when the image loading fails on the channel image. Then it can properly do as you say and display differently. When error it would display template B. Thats all that needs to be added. I can look into doing that. The cards which are shown on the "On Now" row have that smart logic for image loading already. That is why the cards show placeholder text. Its just the guide display that lacks them. Which is why it shows emptiness.

I'm not aware that Tone Mapping is an option from the sidebar. Can you show a screenshot of where you're going to Tone Mapping from that it's not bringing you to the right place?

Ja das weiß, ich hatte mir das auch schon so gedacht. Ich wollte nur mitteilen, das bei mir generell wieder Themes gefunden wurden. Somit bin ich mit dem jetzigen Zustand zufrieden Yeah, I knew it was like that. I just wanted to say that I was generally found with themes again. I am satisfied with the current state

Most of my channel logos I got from Logopedia using the "copy image URL" option. The URLs don't end in a file extension (they end in /revision/latest?cb=…), and I think some of the originals may be SVG or served as WebP. Here's an example URL for a channel whose logo doesn't show on Roku: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/logopedia/images/9/9a/Channel_4_2022.svg/revision/latest?cb=20260614024831 Could that be the problem?

Can you please confirm the version number and send a new app log? Thanks.

Are they in an odd format?

Yes, could be, I'll check it.

@Lukeany update?

No, it's one of twelve.. But it's not adding intro skip to any new episodes. It is adding the new episodes to Emby but doesn't appear to be scanning them to add the skip intro.

Afaik it's a problem with the Hub it self. I've tried making custom control screens for the hub with Home Assistant but it always goes to blank after some minutes. There are ways around it but requires a small script to be run in Home Assistant.

Is there only that one episode? Audio fingerprints usually needs more episodes to compare to, otherwise it doesn't know what to look after.

This issue is still occurring for me as well. I had hope with the release of Emby Server v4.10.x.x this would have been corrected but I've tested and I'm still experiencing the same issue.

Try the latest 5.60.2.0 beta in the catalog. I changed it to not show when the rating has no value.

Just wanted to clarifiy: I still prefer the Emby app over Moonfin due to UI and a bit more pleasing image (using Apple's native player)... I just wish that Emby would implement the decoding pipeline to get TrueHD and HEVC working on Apple TV Natively. Still super pleased with Emby Keep up the great work!

Hey, I am using embyicons to overlay the community rating for movies. What I noticed is, that it always shows a community rating of "10" if it the community rating field is either empty or if it is set to 0. Could the default behaviour be changed to either showing 0, or even better not showing the icon at all if the community rating is not set?

Ok great thank you and seems to have worked

I normally shutdown the service in Emby dashboard and then install the update using Package Manager. Stopping it in DSM will probably work also. Everything will be intact.
