Hi, I need clarification on how Emby reads subtitle language tags inside MKV/MP4 files. I’m seeing the following subtitle codes in my library: EN / ENG UK UKR RUS / RU I want to confirm what each one actually means. Specifically: Does UK mean English (United Kingdom) or Ukrainian? Does UKR always mean Ukrainian? Does RUS / RU always mean Russian? Would a file tagged by a torrent uploader as “UK” normally be interpreted by Emby as English? I’m trying to make sure my Ukrainian users see the correct language options, so I need an authoritative answer on how Emby interprets these tags. Thanks.

@LukeAfter reading through that thread it seems its not going to be an option. I know in some apps you can set playback to 4k-200 mbps or 1080-60 mbps and is should pick the one based on this but some apps like emby apple tv and android tv you can only set the max to 1000 mbps and not chose either 4k or 1080

Please continue discussion in the other thread.

I have this issue on the beta releases as well, and my database cache size was set to 96mb. I just set it back down to 64mb and will report back if I encounter a shutdown again.

Never mind, I answered my own question. For future travelers, it looks like Emby does not do any ffprobe scanning of STRM libraries. Playback startup is slower than with symlinks but at least it doesn't pound my indexer/Usenet servers randomly throughout the day.

I think it would appeal to more people if you could add some limits to it. Ability to specify certain folders - because a user may have access to both shared folders and their own personal folders and you may not want to grant the permission to everything like ebr mentioned ability to say only download missing metadata or refresh all metadata - because if they're the owner of a folder why not let them update it also It's kind of like giving users delete permission; you want to have the ability to limit the scope of it or not a whole lot of people would use it This way it would not only satisfy CBers needs, but also any others who want more control

Habe einen neuen Emby Server aufgesetzt und bemerkt, dass nach dem einlesen keine bilder und auch keine Infos mehr bei Sammlungen geladen wurden. In der normalen Film Bibliothek wurde alles geladen. Bei einer bereits bestehenden Sammlung, fällt das erst mal nicht auf, da hier ja schon alles geladen war. Das würde erst bei einer neu hinzugefügten Filmreihe bemerkt werden. Siehe Bilder...

Yes it is, let me read thru that thread

Please note that the beta version is exactly that, a testing version. Only install it if you are willing to help test new releases and report any issues that you may encounter.

Feature Request: to add IP to blacklist from the alert screen. Saves time having to manually add IP. What was once a rare occasion, probing attacks seem to happen more frequently.

Hello, I've extended this Simkl plugin (which was limited to "watched at X%" scrobbling) so it offers roughly the same features as the Trakt for Emby plugin. Added: - Real-time scrobbling: start / pause / stop - Resume points synced (Simkl ↔ Emby) - Manual watched / unwatched toggle pushed to Simkl - Scheduled tasks: "Sync library to Simkl" (export) and "Import playstates from Simkl" (import: watched status, dates, resume points) - Ratings sync (movies and shows), add to "Plan to watch" - Multi-user + per-user excluded folders, PIN login Good to know: Trakt's "collection" (no Simkl equivalent) is ignored, and the export never deletes history on Simkl (safety). Compatible with Emby 4.7+ (tested on 4.10), API key bundled in (no developer app to create). Installation: put Simkl.dll in the plugins folder, restart, then Plugins → Simkl TV Tracker → Settings → Log In (PIN). Source code, DLL and docs (FR + EN): https://github.com/Guiro28/Simkl-Emby Releases: https://github.com/Guiro28/Simkl-Emby/releases I won't do much (if any) follow-up here on the forum: for any bug or request, please use the GitHub Issues: https://github.com/Guiro28/Simkl-Emby/issues Based on the original SIMKL/Emby plugin and inspired by the Trakt for Emby plugin. Unofficial fork, use at your own risk. A bit of honesty: I don't really have development skills, so I created this fork mainly with the help of Claude Code (AI). Please be lenient: there may be some rough edges, but it works well on my setup.

Hello I edited the script in lines ~ 42 to 45 # 2) Calculate 20%, 50%, and 80% start times (rounded to 3 decimals) start1=$(printf "%.3f" "$(echo "$duration * 0.2" | bc -l| sed -E 's/\./\,/')" | sed -E 's/\,/\./') start2=$(printf "%.3f" "$(echo "$duration * 0.5" | bc -l| sed -E 's/\./\,/')" | sed -E 's/\,/\./') start3=$(printf "%.3f" "$(echo "$duration * 0.8" | bc -l| sed -E 's/\./\,/')" | sed -E 's/\,/\./') to compesate for regional errors in my zone (decimal places are ',' and I ended the script as follows: # 6) Scale the concatenated preview to 396×704 px # (re-encode video using libx264, drop audio if any) PREVIEW_SCALED="$OUTDIR/${NAME}_preview_${MAX_TOTAL}s_396x704.gif" ffmpeg -y -i "$PREVIEW_RAW" -vf "fps, scale=704:396" -loop 0 "$PREVIEW_SCALED" echo "Done:" echo " • Extracted clips (video-only): " echo " $CLIP1" echo " $CLIP2" echo " $CLIP3" echo " • Concatenated (raw) preview: $PREVIEW_RAW" echo " • Final 396×704 px video preview (video-only): $PREVIEW_SCALED" rm -v "${CLIP1}" "${CLIP2}" "${CLIP3}" "${CONCAT_LIST}" "${PREVIEW_RAW}" to remove all the auxiliar files created and produce a gif instead of an mp4 I place the gif in the movie folder as : movie_name-default.gif or movie_name-thumb.gif. But I do not get the animated thumbnail to work. Only the first frame for the gif. I do not understand from this thread if the video shown of the animated thumbnail working is a suggestion of how it would eventually work or if someone has made it happen. My emby is in a nas Server that I acces from the web on chrome

Are there any ffmpeg/transcode logs when they attempt to play?

This is pretty dumb, but I find it amusing: https://www.tomshardware.com/software/applications/vibe-coded-app-adds-a-3d-video-rental-storefront-to-your-jellyfin-htpc-self-hosted-open-source-project-brings-back-memories-of-browsing-for-vhs-tapes-on-saturday-afternoons Maybe someone wants to add it as a plug-in or something for Emby. Cheers!

It often happens that when I start playing music via Emby, I can hear it clearly in my vehicle, yet Android Auto reports a problem with Emby. Consequently, I cannot control the music using the steering wheel controls or the car's display. It is worth noting that I also tested this with other applications like Spotify and Wavio and did not encounter the issue, whereas Emby appears disconnected.

A simple instruction for a simple tv channel setup in virtual tv Click +Add New Channel in the pop up window enable channel for users you want to view it Enter a channel Name Enter a channel Number Add Logo Url if using (I leave channel Primetime at 00:00) In playback method i use Continuous Playback (Live) In Common Conditions Emby User (I created a new user just for VirtualTv so that watched and part watched are not changed for any user other than VirtualTV) Channel Content Source Rules Channel Content Type Select if you want jsut TV Show content or just Movie content or even Mixed content. Sort Program By I have random series and random episodes when TV Shows Further down you see Rules select the folders that have your media for your tv channel Then set any specific requirements for virtual tv to select media Example - In one channel I have a Classic BBC 1 channel, so I put in Studios (BBC One) this searches all TV shows with a studio of BBC One and adds them to the channel. then you should be able to click save and close. I then click Force Refresh Guide Data and wait. Depending on your server specs as to how long this might take.

Yes you need the beta version as that is what currently adds the spotlight features that this uses

Will we agree to disagree

Hm, the Orange Pi is hard to get. I even wonder whether they have gone out of business. orangepi.org is down, orangepi.com redirects to an odroid-only store. The shop on Aliexpress seems to be completely empty - at least from my location and avaiability is scarce everywhere.

4.9.5.0, didn't know I had to run a beta version to make it work, ..thank you seanbuff ,.. I will try this tomorrow.

New Beta version in the catalog (v2.7.0.0) for those who dare. Added: 1) Support for locally installed Tesseract OCR, a locally installed Tesseract does not require docker. 2) Ability to run multiple PaddleOCR sessions at once, this way you can run detections on multiple files at once with PaddleOCR. Please note: This requires a powerful and/or dedicated computer to not create bottlenecks. 3) Improved chromaprint detection slightly. Bug fixes: 1) Episode comparison when running chromaprint detection would compare episodes against them self. 2) Clean up would in rare cases fail to clean up causing a small memory leak. 3) Other fixes and optimizations not noticeable to users.

It’s amazing how far low-power hardware has come. An N100 system using only a few watts from the CPU can still handle a respectable amount of media transcoding. For a home server or NAS, that seems like a really practical sweet spot.

No and it’s not an issue with the android client nor did it happen with the old windows app.
