@LukeGlad to see this in the new stable 4.10 release. So far everything seems to be working, although I had to make the change in the system.xml file to enable it. This shouldn't have any bad side-effects or incompatibilites right? I haven't noticed any, but it would be nice to have some clarification here, along with perhaps some explanation on what kind of validation is happening under the hood with the setting turned on. This topic will likely get buried after it's been marked as resolved, and has been buried several times since it was brought up. Many people are likely unaware of what the issue was, or the fix existing. I might be overlooking it in the release notes, but it doesn't seem to be mentioned there either. I'm wondering what the plan is going forward as it wasn't enabled by default after installing the update. Will users have to always dig into the xml to enable it? Or will there be a gui toggle option or a future update that will turn it on if it isn't already?

@Lukedoesn't control the TrueNAS package repository for Emby. That's Stavros-K in the TrueNAS community IIRC.

Give us back the old home screen settings the new layout is horrible and confusing.

In the metadata editor in the server, how does the data for the two tracks compare?

The Album Artist field has the same contents, i copied them from Picard and compared (track 4 & 5): These are the tags of the last "old"/working track from the release: And these are the tags of the first track that has the wrong album created:

OK yes for album artists, the names need to match in order for them to merge.

Hi, perhaps try checking your Album Artist field, if you haven't already (couldn't tell from your screenshot). If this happens to be blank or different, then Emby will split the tracks into separate Albums. https://emby.media/support/articles/Music-Naming.html

Hey, a release that i have originates from a Steam DLC containing a games soundtrack. This release is being updated with new tracks as content is being released, so i have updated the release group on MusicBrainz by creating a new release with the additional tracks and withdrawing the old release. This is the release on the MusicBrainz site i have created and used in Picard to tag the files: https://musicbrainz.org/release/de204003-fa01-4272-8135-ff6b5bebaa3e I have checked that it is correctly tagged in Picard : When i check the metadata from the emby ui it does show the same MusicBrainz Album ID as the correct album it should have been added to (de204003-fa01-4272-8135-ff6b5bebaa3e). But instead of adding the new tracks to the existing release, emby created multiple new albums named "Trailers" (which is the name of the CD these tracks are on): Any clue what could be wrong here?

@Luke I would expect it to show up under Wu-Tang Clan artist page but be displayed as Wu-Tang as it is just a alias of the Artist. So same entity different display name in this case.

Really. I'm not even seeing some of the new items listed, so I'd like to know where to find them.

It would be nice to show any server software updates in the admin Dashboard Activity log.

Yes it's playing on a Samsung TV (S95B 65 Inch QD OLED) from a dedicated computer running Windows 10. I also have a Roku connected, so I have Emby on both. This setup has been running for a couple of years now. My problem has been happening the last 5-6 months and has recently gotten worse. .

Will there be a blog post explaining the new settings?

There is an embedded UI shared by the web app and many of our other apps. This has it's own version number now so that you can easily track changes for it and so that we can automate our release notes better.

What does "Core UI Changes from 1.0.1000 to 26.0.21" mean? Is this saying that Emby jumped 25 versions in one server update?

What other logs than the one I attached are needed?

You were right, and it was more literal than it sounded: on an episode page the big title IS the show's logo — when your server has one, we inherit it from the series — and we were also writing the show's name as text right above it. Same name twice, one on top of the other. It now reads: the show on top, and under it S1:E4 - Episode title. Nothing else. One thing you couldn't have seen from your end: when a series has no logo, the big title used to be the episode's name, so the page was laid out differently depending on what your server happened to have. It's the show either way now, which is also what the cards and the Home spotlight have always done. It's fixed but not out yet. I'll say here when it is.

Thanks — and don't apologise for the test, it was a good one. It's worse than you thought, and it isn't really about collections. What was happening: every poster that scrolls past starts its own download, and they were all fired at once. The system serves about six at a time, in the order they were asked for — so the poster you stop on goes to the back of the queue, behind every one you just scrolled past. It isn't the server and it isn't the network: it's the order. I measured it here on a library of 124 collections — fewer than your 200. A single poster, cold, takes 0.25s. The one you're actually looking at took 10.6s. It now asks for at most six at a time and serves the most recent request first, so the one under your thumb goes first. Same measurement: 0.13s for the one you're looking at, against 1.12s for the whole lot to finish arriving. The ones you scrolled past aren't thrown away, they just wait their turn. And the part worth saying: this was never a collections problem. Any large grid had it — your movie library too, you just never sat on the down arrow long enough to see it. So thanks for sitting on it. Not out yet. I'll say here when it is.

Just one more slight de-rail of the topic... May not be something you want to consider but Roku devices are known for their simple interfaces and our Roku app mirrors that. It works much like the Android TV app but even simpler in some regards (there are no context menus for instance). So, that could be something you want to consider for your kids. Just a suggestion.

Was there an "Advanced" setting that let you choose the formats? I know Android has that.

Create a folder in library set it as mixed and add movies and shows in one folder add your sister whatever's username only to that folder and make sure all other users can't see that folder only your sister and be done with it.

No audio settings on the fire stick help with this issue

Well now that you are here why not take the time to read and see how you can set your own server up and do it yourself, depending on yourself is a great thing

Also the subtitle menu is different. It is huge and covers almost all the screen. I want to change the position of the subs and the menu actually hides them. One more is the zoom. You have more options in ATv than auto,fill, cover... Many more interface things that personally I dislike. In regards of the accounts I don't want to create multiple. I want to have as less as I can. I monitor my server real time so in case I see any abnormal behavior I stop the movie and pop-up a text. This is not the reason that i opened this issue, to debate about the interfaces. Do you have any update on the reported issue? Do you need additional logs? I know that the team wants to promote the Android client but some off us still prefer the simple things in ATv and generally in life!! Thank you for your effort!!

Please find the logs attached. Since my first post, I enabled debug and tried restoring the backups again (to no avail). What I meant is that under settings -> Emby server -> Library nothing appears. It looks as if nothing was restored, nor settings. Right after the restore is supposed to have concluded, the server does not restart by itself. I also tried restoring the full backup first, and the last snapshot afterwards. logs.zip
