LOL not everything, but I'm somewhat familiar. Thanks, btw. As with any other plugin: it is impossible to test behavior under every conceivable setup so YMMV, but said plugin generally shouldn't have noticeable impact on your server as it only overlays/enhances posters with desired icons. Anyway, you can read through the plugin thread and decide for yourself whether to proceed with installation:

You seem to know everything GrimReaper & a cool name to boot - on the plugin it says Plugins built by Emby community members are a great way to enhance your Emby experience with additional features and benefits. Before installing, please be aware of the effects they may have on your Emby Server, such as longer library scans, additional background processing and decreased system stability. Please click OK to confirm you've read the above and wish to proceed with the plug-in installation Is it really intensive as my set up is Windows 11 PC with an i5‑9400F, 16GB RAM, and about 30TB of storage across multiple 2.7–3.6TB hard drives, all plugged into four USB SATA docks — three dual‑bay docks and one single‑bay dock — merged together into one big DrivePool (L:).

Any update on this yet?

I had this one working at one point,.. I can''t recall exactly when it started to fail, but now I can't get past this error when I try to set up a new source. It WILL let me proceed when I try it with a local file, but that kinda defeats the purpose for me. I just want it to run every couple of months to pull movies from an M3U file. I feel like I've tried everything I can think of...even ChatGPT seems to be stumped as well. I can't find any mention of it in any of the server logs. Anyone seen this error before?

I had just assumed this was already a thing, until dealing with a couple of attackers last night.

TV Shows are collection of items (episodes) and have no media properties per-se (like movies & episodes do) so you can't filter them by any media (video/audio/subtitle stream) property. The best you could do is get a visual indicator on poster (with EmbyIcons plugin) which can show an icon on the poster if all nested episodes have certain language subs.

...yes? How else would I go about adding things? If it's not available online, what is refreshing the metadata going to achieve?

The user can search for subtitles at the time of playback if they aren't there. Thanks for the reply. Just to confirm - is there currently no way to filter TV shows by subtitle language at the series level? Right now I can only filter episodes, which doesn’t help when trying to identify full shows that contain Ukrainian subtitles throughout. I’m using a workaround where I place Ukrainian‑subtitle shows into a separate folder for my foreign user. I just want to know if Emby officially supports subtitle filtering for TV shows, or if this is a limitation of the current system. Thanks.

Read this ENTIRE thread before you try anything. The OP of the thread was NOT successful but YMMV.

New Emby server Beta release, v4.10.0.25.

Great Support. Thank you.

Mine is now running... made some mistakes with the folder definitions in the docker container, but figured it out in the end. The ugreen is so much smoother and reactive! Hardware makes a difference. Also using my old NVMEs as a volume now instead of cache becuase I can and Emby server lives there. But still waiting to switch back to a native install!

Thank you GrimReaper - I never seen that Another problem for my foreign User & me as admin is there is no way to filter tv shows by subtitle only the episodes so I have a separate folder for her & if I know a whole tv show has her subtitles the whole way through I add that tv show to her folder & add that folder to the original tv show folder so everyone else who can speak English can see Is there a way around this I don't know about or should I mark this as solved an open another post

Yes but I want trailers & so do some other users, but some can't stand them being there & having to go next & move straight over to the movie - also I now have a user who is foreign & she has all movies filtered to her language but seeing trailers for movies she can't watch is rather annoying for her & also I would say another problem for her & me as admin is there is no way to filter tv shows by subtitle only the episodes so I have a separate folder for her & if I know a whole tv show has her subtitles the whole way through I add that tv show to her folder & add that folder to the original tv show folder so everyone else who can speak English can see it

Settings>Playback tab, untick "Enable Cinema Intros".

I thought the trailer pre-play preference was set by admin on the server and then all users get the trailers in all the same way. I have not seen an user individual preference setting. So, I think the answer is, as admin, change the trailer preference to 0 and no one will get trailers. If the same trailers appear all the time, I think that is because you only have a couple of trailer media files in trailers subdirectories for media or it could be that you only have a couple of trailers in the preview directory assigned with the admin controls. Add more trailers media files to stop only the two same trailers appearing.

OK if all the plugins are back then I would keep an eye out for it happening again.

That did it. I had no idea which one was most recent or that there would be any significant difference. Thanks for the quick solution.

Hi, I have Emby set up at home so that 2 trailers play before every movie. On my server (Windows), this option is visible under Playback settings. However, on the Android/Fire TV version of Emby (Firestick 4K), I cannot find any setting to disable or change the “Play trailers before movies” feature. I need to know: Does the Android/Fire TV Emby app support disabling trailers? If so, where is the setting located? If not, is this feature server‑side only and the Fire TV app simply follows whatever the server is configured to do? Right now, trailers always play before movies on the Firestick, and I want to turn them off. Thanks.

There have been numerous posts on embedded closed captions not appearing during HLS re-muxing to Android/AndroidTV clients when pulling from HDHomerun and other tuners. Note, these captions are embedded in the video stream and not sent as independent sidecar data (e.g. srt/webvtt). These embedded closed captions are present in the video files because once the OTA recording is complete they do appear on playback on Android/AndroidTV. On my system, the completed recording plays back directly (no HLS re-mux) so I started investigating if there was something in the HLS flow that could be impeding the captions. I found that Emby uses ffmpeg to segment the incoming live TS stream but ffmpeg is not being used to create a master m3u8 playlist; it is just creating a chunk(segment) list. Is the ffmpeg chunk list passed directly to exoplayer? Or does Emby create a master m3u8 playlist that references the chunk list on its own? Reading here: https://github.com/androidx/media/issues/1526 It appears that master HLS tags are required to get exoplayer to properly use the closed caption information and master tags can only be present in a master m3u8 playlist. If the tags don't work, then according to the github thread, you can force your implementation of exoplayer to disable chunkless preparation and the CC info can be found from the stream. Does Emby have a master m3u8 playlist that the correct tags could be inserted into? Have these tweaks been tried before? Example Master CC tags: #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=CLOSED-CAPTIONS,GROUP-ID="hdhr_cc",NAME="English",DEFAULT=YES,AUTOSELECT=YES,LANGUAGE="en",INSTREAM-ID="CC1" #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=15000000,CLOSED-CAPTIONS="hdhr_cc" chunk_file.m3u8

Yes, and scans are averaging 7-8 minutes again.

Hallo Luke, Habe ich schon mehrmals bei einzelnen Sammlungen und auch komplett für alle gemacht, da passiert leider nichts.

Another new Ugreen convert here, patiently waiting for a native app for my 4800 Pro. I had no choice but to abandon Synology once they stopped supporting hardware trancoding.

Not sure what you mean?
