will give it ago and report back in 6000 years, my library is VERY large

now back to megan thee stallion.. can you post a folder of the music here, in a zip file, that way I can load it into my environment and test what is going wrong? One or 2 tracks, I dont need an entire cd. Thank you

so are you now ready to give Ear Wax ?

Ich habe eine Serie 'der Alte' und laut Fernsehserien.de gibt es hier nur Episoden und keine Staffeln. Wie gehe ich damit um?

Hi, danke das geht.

oops they were indeed shuffled, i didnt listen that far before FWIW the audio feedback doesnt confirm that shuffled keyword is place is in place and is not distinguishable from standard playlist playback, eg "Playing Playlist Car Shuffled", might be a nice to have if trivial/fits the design. Alexa ecosystem support might be generally lifted if database searching was faster. By the the time you get down to songs the api really chugs, i will have another play with the sqllite performance settings, maybe i forgot to implement best practice on the most recent server build.

@ginjaninja Ear Wax is racing a few clocks: The provider server has to find the playlist, artist, album, or genre. The provider server has to return enough tracks. the underlying code has to build the queue and send Alexa a playable URL. Alexa has to receive that response before it decides the skill took too long To buy the time, you shorten the payload, you get music started and while the music is playing you perform the necessary tasks. So yes, the first 2 tracks will ALWAYS be the same, but from track 3 until the end, those tracks should be different. Not everyone has a super fast very powerful server, so I tend to favor the slower ones, when developing Ear Wax

I have previously purchased an android license (tablet), and a fire tv app license. On the fire tv I have been getting notices that there is a new android app available. After downloading it, it asks me to pay for a new license, but seems to only accept an emby premier license. I would like it to use my existing firestick app license. If that is not possible, I would not mind paying for an extra app license. I do not like the fact that it is not giving me a choice to get an app license.

Okay I’ve been testing this and it seems like for mobile apps and remote users it will select the secondary audio automatically IF the second track is flagged as default in the mkv container. For example: my movie has 2 tracks. First track is Dolby trueHd, and second is eac3 compatibility. If both are labeled as default, remote users and my phone will automatically play the second track. And devices that can natively play trueHd, will play that one. However, it only works automatically if both are labeled as default. If my secondary audio track does not have “yes” enabled in the container, the apps don’t automatically select it. Not saying this is wrong, but this is what I’ve discovered on how to get it working.

@ginjaninja Regarding the playlist, ok the first two were the same, the question becomes, were the rest shuffled? Considered the Mysterians issue resolved, you requested x it returned x.. why it does what it does is not really the issue, as long you get the correct results in the most effective manner, but to answer your question in one word, SQL.

Command "Alexa ask ear wax to shuffle playlist car" Response "Playing playlist car" track1 is always 1st,track2 is always 2nd (its not shuffled) Out of interest is it intended?....Is the skill shuffling the results? or the api call to emby? "Alexa ask ear wax to play artist questionmark and the mysterians" is now working (hooray) but the skill is dropping "questionmark and the" from the api search (seems dangerous why is that necessary out of interest?)

I might have figured it out, when I had it set to Advanced it was really poor, but set to Yes, it seems ok so far. I do plan to invest in a newer hdd maybe a internal 12 tb or larger to expand my storage.

Hello! I have put together a small plugin to help when using .strm files. There are already existing plugins and functions for this, but i wanted to gather them under the same hood and add the ability to control the settings some more of the functions they provide. I made this for myself, and sharing if anyone else finds it useful This plugin enables functions that is missing from native Emby when using .strm files. Most of the functions can also be used on regular media types(mkv, avi, etc). More info and latest release at: https://github.com/soderlund91/StrmCompanion Features Media info extract (specific for .strm files) This plugin uses FFmpeg to probe movies and episodes in selected libraries to extract the media information. This enable Emby to recognize resolution, playtime, audio-codec, subtitles, etc that Emby natively cannot do. It also enables for faster startup since this process has already been made. Can be run as a scheduled task and/or auto detect on new media. Auto merge (all mediatypes) The plugin can merge same movies and episodes across multiple libraries and folders. Emby native only merge if they are located within the same folder. This enable you to for example have a folder of 4K movies and another one of 1080p. The plugin then finds multiple movies or episodes with the same IMDb or TVDb ID and merges them across all or selected libraries. Can be run as a scheduled task and/or auto detect on new media. Intro dectect (all mediatypes) The built in Emby function to detect intros can not run on .strm files. This plugin uses the same technique as Emby (chromaprint) and some other tweaks to find the intro. The detection runs on user selected shows or season, it then posts the intro markers to Emby database and it will work as native in Emby player with the "skip intro" button. The intro detect also can list all existing intro markers even if they are not from this plugin. Disclaimer The intro detection is work in progress. It currently works really good on some shows, and not as good on others. The process is pretty slow (I have prioritized quality over speed) but when the fingerprinting is done you can change the settings and play around with them and it will be a lot quicker. The fingerprinting is the slow process and unaffected by the user settings. So do the fingerprinting and then test with other settings. Screenshots: StrmCompanion.dll

Graphics card specs looks OK. Maybe some transcoding setting could be better? https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-9060-XT-vs-Nvidia-RTX-5070-Ti/m2417253vs4181

Is this thru the Open Subtitles plugin or something else?

Highly debatable.

Freut mich das es geklappt hat. Du siehst da eine Zahl? Bei welcher App ist die zu sehen? Ich kenn das nicht. Weder auf Android, iOS noch im Web.

Wow!! AudNexus is a freaking BOSS!!!

My GPU shows up in Advanced

Whats wrong with the GPU I have? Its been decent for my gaming needs, why cant it work with hw acceleration?

@ginjaninja Good news; Yes you can shuffle your playlist; 1) Alexa, ask Ear Wax to shuffle playlist ?? where ?? is the playlist name or: 2) Alexa, ask Ear Wax to play playlist ?? shuffled Where ?? is the playlist name I would use #1, it flows better Also, please test the question mark mysterians again. Thank you

A new stable will be published within the next few days. Thanks a lot for your report!

How are your files and folders named?

Well, it's not. The "Versions" option is an "option" since years, if you put all movie versions in one folder and name the files different. Which was - as I wrote - never an option for me. So my organisation worked well and "Blade Runner" search found 6 entries with different titles and different covers (DVD, Bluray....). Now - obviously versions are also found via movie-id, what really makes sense and is great (as working under infuse front-end), but right now my library is kind of messed up, without showing the differences, if I select a movie with different formats or versions in my library.

Well this is your issue, your hardware can't hack it, when it needs to transcode.
