All Activity

Is it possible to move the "Are You Still Watching?" from an app setting to a server setting that can be applied to all users? Maybe in the user profile on the server?

I'm pretty sure this is unplanned at this point.

I have audiobooks files in these formats that refuse to play in Emby. They show up blank and when you click play, they end immediately, presumably because Emby can't process the codec.

Thank you so much for this plugin. Maybe you can set the user limit to the same as the basic Emby account limit. This would prevent anyone from trying to use it to make money. Those using it for Family, would then still be able to benefit from its features.

But seriously: The idea is plausible for sure. In fact, during the botnet incident two years ago, we had started a "Security Incidents" section as part of the documentation. And it just didn't work out. We've been busy all the time and couldn't keep it up-to-date continuously. And when it was updated and users were pointed at it, they still continued to ask questions, including things that were answered there. Nobody cared about it and we were answering questions in the forums all the time. At the end, even I had forgotten about it and it wasn't even updated with the outcome but nobody ever came asking about it. Eventually the section was removed, because nobody was interested in this anymore. We are small and cannot be compared with companies like MS, Apple & Co - this is a whole different world, and also we do not have that many security issues to deal with. In turn, a security page with less than a handful of incidents and maybe the newest being a year old would not make a good impression (people might easily draw wrong conclusions) and while there is an active incident, people would still be asking the same kind of questions and we'd see the same kinds of discussions like here (excepting the side-track about a "security page", but then probably about why it doesn't get updated by the minute). If it were a larger number - it might be a different story. We'll see and adapt to the situation if necessary.

I am sure that every Microsoft, Apple or Oracle customer would cry with happiness for having the opportunity to get direct answers from the people in charge in a forum.

This is a great plug in.

Does it play successfully if transcoding is allowed?

Can you try a different browser?

Never-mind, scheduled task that executed last night worked perfectly for my setup, picked up series, not episodes as intended.

Odd then that Microsoft, Apple, Oracle and many others have dedicated web pages for it and dont expect end customers to know about git hub and trawling it. You make incorrect assumption that everyone is dumb or common people. CVE numbers can point to a security vulnerability, but they dont always tell you the full range of products affected and versions or mitigating workarounds that a software vendor would. If the information is clear and severity level clear then nobody is going to get their knickers in a twist like you say. I expect the info on the software vendors web site without having to go to 3rd party places. It's a response from them for a start.....

Not silly at all! The plugin is available in the Emby catalog Just install it there, once a day Emby checks for updates to the installed plugins in the catalog and automatically installs the updates and then asks for a reboot of the server to finalize the updates.

I have search now disabled completely on all of my libraries now because seemingly that's the only way to prevent anyone from accidentally clicking on search and it locking everything down for a minute or two, which includes breaking streams in progress, as well as of course anybody browsing the UI on either the web or client. It's quite ridiculous

Just a courtesy reminder: as of June 30, 2026, the current beta version is 4.10.0.17-beta, and the latest stable version is 4.9.5.0. Sharing this in case anyone is confused or asks. Thanks!

They do have a a dedicated security page, it's just not on the forums, it's where it's supposed to be, on the github pages. There is also nothing to stop people from looking at the CVE pages to see what the dangers are, as everything is typically spelled out there in plain english (exactly what I posted). Yes we have a lot of ignorant users on the forums, but anyone with a functional brain would know to look at these places, and dumbing things down to the common people is something that I'd argue only needs to be done when it's something serious, which the dev team has done in the past, and this was not serious. Otherwise, people blow things out of proportion and get their knickers in a twist and start saying things they don't understand while puffing out their chests and act like they understand what they are talking about.. A little knowledge is dangerous, specially when those that have it don't understand what they have while claiming they do.

No improvement on 4.10.0.17 beta. Really wish they would rollback this change while they work on a proper fix.

Yes, I'm afraid so. Same problem as always. Everything works fine on my Roku devices, but is unplayable in a web browser.

Silly question – how do I update the plugin?

Did you try the docker compose that we suggested in the link above?

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

Hi, did you try our suggested docker compose? https://hub.docker.com/r/emby/embyserver

The genre cleaner will be your best bet to clean them up. If you don't think you're having luck with it. then let's look at why.

If it's that old it could have been Emby, although most likely not. We did do this very, very briefly before user feedback forced us to remove it.

Or perhaps when it is playing with server transcoding? Can you try and test these two conditions separately to see if it happens more frequently with one or the other?
