That's not all it is. It's specifically being developed with an API/webhooks for developers. The primary use case for which is precisely what I'm talking about here. Emby could theoretically create their owner player with Ray integrations. Or Emby could post media info to a webhook every time a new file hits your filesystem and OS would return a complete subtitle file. That's not far off from how emby already handles automatic subtitle downloads but by using Ray webhooks, you would get a generated file if one didn't exist before which would probably require additional information passed to OS. That level of detail isn't known, so I'm speculating here, but the idea of Ray integrations into media players isn't speculation. I've also heard concepts thrown around on Reddit about the idea of a companion that kind of 'watches' the movie with you. Basically someone you can ask questions to that is aware of where you are in the movie so as to avoid spoilers. "Hey that didn't make sense just now. Did I miss something?" Ray might respond with what you missed, or a timestamp of where you might jump back to see it. Ray may also tell you that you didn't miss anything and that you just need to be patient. I watched a movie just last night where I asked my wife a question like that and we just had to rewind a few seconds to catch it, but I've definitely been 'in too deep' before to just rewind and hope I find what I missed because naturally I don't know where it might be. This would be great in ebooks too, but I digress. Lot's of interesting ideas out there for technology like this. Guess I was just wondering if Emby has any intention of approaching it or if there is a reason they don't want to.

1. Often very famous actors' photos are missing 2. When I scan for metadata immediately after uploading the movie the missing photos are showing up

Nonetheless, the process of learning why is the same. What I mentioned above is the most likely answer: But there could be other reasons as well.

It's not an isolated incident, every movie or show I add has random photos missing.

OK so it's hard to say why those people didn't have an image. Maybe from the time you first added the show or movie, new people images got uploaded to tmdb or tvdb. The next time you add a new movie or series, if you think someone should have gotten an image that didn't, then please provide the log from when the movie or series was first imported. But before doing that, check whether or not your enabled metadata fetchers in library settings even have an image for that person. So if you have Tmdb enabled, then check the Tmdb website, same for tvdb, etc.

refreshing metadata on what exactly?

Yes, manually refreshing metadata works.

HI, what example are we focusing on here?

Hi. Either use the standard app as suggested or you can join the beta for the Android TV app and I believe your issues should be solved.

I have a video with subtitles, however they are not showing up at all. I have ripped them out of the MKV to check, and they have text at the time I am looking. If I download subtitles using emby's system, the newly download subtitles work great. I attached the embyserver log file, debug logging is on as this was my dev server. I have tried this on my primary server and I get the same results. Any Ideas? embyserver.txt

"Ray" is a new player created by OS and it automatically creates and uploads subtitles to their database.

Honestly, I had about 15 movies and 30 or so episodes. I wrote a script to do the conversion, that worked for all but 4 or 5 files. For those the pulling of the RPU data using using dovi_tool was empty, so I just req-acquired them. I think marked each file with "-DV" so a user would know. Is there any "sure file" way for emby to ask the client if they support DV Profile 5? Or if they dont support DV 10 fallback? Thanks for the info. Scott

Probably not. Again DV is proprietary and Emby's hands are tied. If you want to do anything with these files, you must do it manually. Even Plex doesn't support tone mapping of DV because of licensing. InFuse does it client side as they have a license for it, apparently. People need to give up on DV, and come to the realization that if you don't have the proper hardware, it's just not going to work. Segregate your files. I have a separate DV library myself. I only give access to those that have the right hardware, which is what people need to start doing.

Hello, Just in case you mind not tolerating for more questions: what is the best source for previous versions? I found 2.1.48g at https://apkpure.com/emby-for-android-tv/tv.emby.embyatv. I am surprised I have yet to find it from emby. Is it so strange to request previous versions of an app? if apkpure is not trusted, please recommend how to go to previous app, 2.1.48g. Thank you.

Hi, found the solution by myself: SSH to Emby Docker or use the qnap container station console apt update apt install vim ( install vi editor ) vi /etc/ld.so.conf I ( insert mode ) add line: /usr/nvidia esc :wq ldconfig Restart emby and the nvidia card is added Alex

No I do not. But just to make this clear. When I reenter my password it is working again.

Do you have open subtitles vip?

OK try refreshing the metadata on the movie and see if that helps.

Can you try it again?

I'm not sure OS does the actual populating of their DBs themselves. It's my understanding that it's a community effort. So, really, we will only benefit from this if the community around subtitles (including Emby) specifically doesn't take the attitude of "others will do it". We're the ones that do it unless I'm just totally wrong about what OS is (and I may be). If I'm watching or otherwise in possession of a film title without subs available (or with inadequate subs available), my hope would be to have a workflow built into Emby server (or maybe even from the frontend) that allowed a user to initiate the generation of subs which results in a complete file in your local filesystem, but which is also submitted to OS.

.23 beta seems to have fixed the slow search for safari, web, and windows app so I am happy. TY devs.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

No, all playlists are stored as m3u

Is there an easier way to switch users than having to go into the settings, then the add-ons, then navigating to EmbyCon, then finding the right settings page...? As I posted in the General section I'd love to set it up so that a specific user logging in on my Shield automatically logged them on in EmbyCon on my UGOOS AM6B+, but even an easier way of switching user when flicking over to the UGOOS would be good. I use the UGOOS for HDR and 3D, and the Shield for everything else. I have an automation set up in Home Assistant that checks on playback start if a movie is either of those things, and if so it stops playback and shifts my AVR over to the UGOOS input. I then have a ”Recently Watched” list on my home screen, and the movie I just started is at the top of the list. Problem is, this breaks if someone else logs into Emby on the Shield via their account, and then tries to watch something that's either 3D or HDR, because a) it doesn't show up in the Recently Watched list and b) they'd end up using my account to watch it if they were to navigate to it manually. And expecting them to go through the ridiculously convoluted user-switching process in EmbyCon is a non-starter.
