OK I wouldn't worry about this.

i should say I didnt download the latest sdk and build the plugin demo from that....did i need to?

OK you can't copy files into there. The server will scan and recognize them, but they won't be assigned to any user. Copy them instead to /data/playlists.

HI, we'll take a look at it. Thanks.

hello @Luke, yes, I can confirm that I encountered the issue (yesterday, today). there are some issues in the recent updates of the Apple TV application (this one, another one that skips a few seconds of an episode without any reason). regards

Some quick testing here and it looks like it might be resolved! I will keep trying a couple more files.

I don't know if it needs to be default or otherwise, but right now Android Auto voice prompting does not recognize Emby as an app at all. Currently, saying "open Emby" doesn't open the app, let alone load subsequent information you might say in that sentence, such as "and play [artist/album]" the way Spotify, YouTube, and other media apps DO work on Android Auto. The request is that the Emby development team do whatever is necessary so that Android Auto recognizes Emby as another legitimate music app that can be opened and used via voice control. And if you made it possible to designate as the default music app, we could just say "play album/artist" and Emby would open and play it.

HI, you currently cannot assign a tuner per user, but you could use parental controls to hide content: How to Hide Specific TV Channels, Edit Parental Rating or Set Tags

Hi, what exactly do you mean by android auto fails to detect Emby ?

hi, are you still having this issue with our latest app updates?

HI, are you still seeing this with Emby for iOS 2.2.56?

HI, are you still seeing this with Emby for iOS 2.2.56?

But if you specify Open Emby, then are you sure it has to be the default music player of the device?

Hi, not yet, sorry, but it's certainly doable.

@Cotignachas this helped?

HI, we can look at improving it. Thanks.

Hi, are you still having an issue with this with new downloads?

Hi, not yet but this is something we are planning on implementing. Thanks.

The good news is that the other issues you ran into are fixed internally now - plus some new (small) features coming...

Hi @softworkz Thanks for confirming. I feel like i am on "the bleeding edge" on plugin development, exciting times...but good to know where i need to look now.

alucryd - I could give it a try if you think the additional stuff I just posted doesn't change the situation.

My emby server is a proxmox VM that has a nvidia card passed through to it (for transcoding). I have several NAS that I have NFS shares on that I mount to the emby server. I've had issues with the server not seeing the nas for various reasons and so I have a script - /usr/local/bin/check-nfs-before-emby.sh (seen in the systemctl status for the service below) that ensures the shares are mounted before emby server starts and emails me if there's a problem. It doesn't use LD_LIBRARY_PATH. That is first in the startup of the service. Next is a conf (90-nvenc.conf below) that sets up for ffmpeg. It was added as I couldn't get the NVIDIA card to transcode properly (wasn't finding the right ffmpeg files). I used a AI chatbot to come up with the following:: [Service] # Sets the library path so Emby's bundled FFmpeg can find its dependencies # and the necessary Intel (libmfx) and NVIDIA libraries. Environment="LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/emby-server/lib:/opt/emby-server/extra/lib" # Add a short delay to ensure the NVIDIA device files are fully initialized # before Emby attempts its hardware detection. This can fix timing issues.

Hi, thx for the plugin It is possible to bind a premium account or watch without ads ? Quality is good, tested on ATV 4K best regards

Hi ebr, Thank you for the follow-up and for clarifying that no one was trying to target me. I appreciate that. I wanted to add a few important technical details that were not fully covered in my previous reply, because they directly explain both the similarities people noticed and why the two plugins should never be installed at the same time. **On the original development path** When I started this work, my goal was to create improved detection engines (particularly better OCR and proper AV1 support) that could plug into Yocker’s existing EmbyCredits plugin. That is why some of the high-level concepts, terminology, and even a few UI patterns ended up looking familiar — I was deliberately trying to stay compatible at first. As development progressed, two things became clear: 1. Yocker’s plugin was not handling my large AV1 library reliably, and 2. The architectural changes I needed (especially around frame extraction, parallel processing, and the OCR microservices) were substantial enough that it made more sense to build a complete, independent plugin. That is how EmbyVisionCredits came to exist as a separate project rather than just a set of engines for EmbyCredits. **What is actually original work** - The CPU and GPU OCR microservices were written from scratch (they are separate GitHub repositories). - The detection pipeline was largely rewritten to handle AV1 correctly and to support the performance characteristics I needed. - The plugin’s internal state handling, event registration, scheduled tasks, and overall architecture are my own. There is inevitable functional overlap because both plugins solve the same problem (detecting end credits and writing the markers Emby understands). Functional similarity does not equal the same implementation. **Why the two plugins must not be installed together** Even with unique GUIDs (which I have already changed), the plugins still conflict at a deeper level: - Both register for the same Emby events (`ItemAdded` / `ItemUpdated`). - Both maintain pending-episode queues and state. - Both extract frames and write the same chapter/segment markers that Emby uses for “Skip Credits”. - When both are active they can overwrite each other’s markers, fight over temporary files, and produce unpredictable results. This is visible in server logs when both are present — both start their own “Credits Detection Service” and both load the same pending episodes. It is a classic case of two plugins claiming ownership of the same subsystem. Users should choose one or the other, never both. I have already updated my documentation and releases to state this clearly. I remain fully respectful of the MIT license under which EmbyCredits was released, and of Yocker’s original work. Multiple independent implementations of a credits detector can and should exist, just as multiple implementations of other media tools exist. My intention has never been to diminish or claim credit for the foundational work Yocker did. Thank you again for taking the time to look at this carefully. I’m happy to provide any further technical clarification if needed. Best regards, EncryptedCity
