All these outstanding bugs and devs choose to spend time needlessly changing UI

The apps use HTML too. The dashboard is simply a different page (and is also accessible through the apps). What are you afraid of? If your users are not admins is that not sufficient for you? Paul

Hi, what version number are you running?

@davide999 Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

This is a well-known issue. FWIW, I haven't had it at all with the current beta. Paul

@iON22we already do this, but the remote server hosting the content sends back the 555 error on the retry: 2025-12-13 01:13:52.192 Info SharedHttpPipelineSource: Opening SharedHttpPipelineSource Live stream from Http-http://host4/x_path1_x/x_path5_x/x_path13_x/x_path14_x 2025-12-13 01:13:52.192 Info HttpClient: GET http://host4/x_path1_x/x_path5_x/x_path13_x/x_path14_x 2025-12-13 01:13:52.289 Info HttpClient: Http response 555 from http://host4/x_path1_x/x_path5_x/x_path13_x/x_path14_x after 97ms.

So that's what we need to know, is why they're sending it back.

Thanks for the prompt answer. Let's see how it goes.

FYI, I managed to fix this by cloning the https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-windows/ repo, building the solution, and replacing the content of %appdata%\Emby-Theater\system\x64\electron with the freshly built one. Don't forget to make a backup of your files if you want to try this.

I now have a version of Emby on FStick that does not use "Connect". The basic "Connect to Server", Host, Port - CONNECT. Enter IP Address - Unable to Reach Server. I don't need https etc etc ? Just 192.xxx.x.xxx ? Using the same Firestick I can drop back to the first screen whereby I can access my sons Emby 5 miles away !! And I can still access my Server from Samsung Tablet. I can literally run a movie on the tablet whilst the FStick "Unable to Reach Server" Four feet away. Going Insane Jim

Sorry for the confusion, I am running "Emby for Android".

Para aquellos que tuvieron acceso a mi servidor: Todavía tienes la aplicación Emby en tus televisores Samsung. Pero esta semana quise dar acceso a mi servidor a cuatro nuevos amigos a través de sus televisores Samsung. Y no encuentran disponible la aplicación Emby. Es la primera vez en dos años que veo que la aplicación Emby no aparece en un televisor Samsung.

@Dickslinger?

Hi, you don’t actually need to restart the app. As soon as the network requests fail, then the app will automatically switch from lan to wan or vice versa. Does that help?

Hi, are you still having an issue with this?

I’m not so sure. I think the answer is what I said earlier. The image downloads were already queued before you changed the option to 0 backdrops.

Hi, yes we are working on improving it. Thanks.

Hi I have all my images/metadata links etc sorted out for my movie collection on 1 x computer linking to my NAS. Can I link another Emby Server on a different computer in my home to the same NAS and copy/paste the images/metadata from the original without having to manually do all the missing images/IMDB links again on the second machine ???

Hi, what exactly happens?

I have been an Emby user for many, many years. But I am now stumped. I have Emby Server running on a Win11 PC. An Amazon Firestick is used to access the media files. Three weeks ago it worked fine. This week I cannot access the PC. The FStick can access my sons PC (5 miles away) via Internet. My Samsung Tablet (2018) can still access server. I am being plagued by Emby on the Fstick insisting on using "Connect" If I try manually entering IP address I just get in a loop - server not found. I never used "Connect" to set up the system. I have cleared FStick Cache etc - no cure. Reinstalled the App - no change. I've checked all the Server settings. Private Network, ensured Port 80 is added. Even added SMB1 ( an old Synology needed this ). All to no avail. One thing that has thrown me is that I originally logged in with a User Name {FirstName_Surname}. "Connect" insists on an email address and then forces me use a Pin - that does nothing to get access. Just loops - enter IP address, Server not found, Connect - rinse and repeat. I am at a loss which bit of kit is failing - PC or FStick. Any suggestions ? Jim.

Never seen it, or it was there in the past, and now it is not? I'm a bit confused now

The genres of an album are a combination of all of the genres of the songs on the album. So if you just make sure the genres on the songs are correct, then the album genres will take care of themselves.

But there were no changes from Samsung regarding Emby? I've never seen the app unavailable on a Samsung TV. Or perhaps there's an update happening. Just like what happened with LG TVs a month ago.

Hi, yes that is the goal, so stay tuned. Thanks.

@TONYCINEXINis it possible that the network sharing is consuming bandwidth, and therefore you need to lower the quality setting in the Emby app to reduce the bitrate?
