Hello @FrostBytecan you please help me more on this? I'm not familiar with "Shield" as I've been a dedicated EMBY user for over a decade or two. I use EMBY on my local PC to serve up locally stored media (movies, TV, photos etc) to my TV's across my home (via Chromecast or direct) and also to stream said content to a select number of friends with accounts on my Emby server. So given all that, how would "Shield" help me please as I'm not familiar with it, or if it does all the same things as I just described? I do have an ATMOS Soundbar and a 4K TV so I'm always looking to EEK out all the features of local media to match my gear. I'm generally pretty happy with EMBY and all it does (except for the latest Movie Trailer issue that I've been asking to be fixed with 2.2.8 in the app store for New Zealand for months on end) so I'm pretty reluctant to move away from EMBY unless there is a really good reason. Thanks for any advice.

Good news mate that one seems to be working I have a busy morning with work but I will run some more tests as soon as I catch up and report back.

Nothing really. Well, to be true, I don't know how to do it. It's something I have been thinking about aswell. It will happen sooner or later I hope

Excited to try out v3.0. I'm sure it has been asked before but what's preventing this plugin from being added to the Emby catalog?

Please also note that the backup/restore plugin doesn't actually backup and restore everything You would think it would include everything but it doesn't Last time I had to use it I found lots of settings were missing: https://emby.media/community/topic/143261-backuprestore-plugin-not-backing-up-user-settings/

Major release - Version 3.0.0.0. Download .dll here and full changelog: https://github.com/soderlund91/HomeScreenCompanion/releases/tag/v3.0.0.0 This release contains major updates, improvements and bug fixes. New name - Home Screen Companion Read why below. Warning No longer support for Emby server version 4.9.x.x. Requires 4.10+ How to update from AutoTag (Optional/Recommended) Download a backup from the plugins settings menu Download HomeScreenCompanion.dll and put it in your /plugins folder. Remove AutoTag.dll from /plugins folder Restart Emby (Optional) If everything has migrated well you can remove AutoTag.xml.old from /plugins/configurations folder _____________________________________ New Home Screen manager: Added a new function that copies the home screen sections from a selected user to others. You no longer need to manually edit the home screen for multiple users. For example, if you create a tag or collection that you want to show on the home screen, you now only need to set it up for one user and then automatically copy it to all selected users in one go. Unlike Emby’s built-in copy function, this only copies the home screen sections. Improvements Local media information: Added ability to match with "NOT" logic. For example, you can filter movies that do not speak English. Local media information: Added an info popup with help to understand the symbols for equal, greater etc. Schedule override: Added ability to override a tag/collection based on schedule. Example: if you use the tag "spotlight", but for Halloween you want that to override during October and also use the tag "spotlight". Then the ordinary spotlight tag will become inactive, and only the Halloween one will get the tag spotlight. (If multiple overrides are used at the same time and for the same tag, they will be combined) Emby's scheduled tasks: Moved the tasks from "Library" into a separate Home Screen Companion title Fixes: Collection images: Uploaded images are now deleted when unused. Bug fix: Fixed a bug where you could select a non-existing date in the recurring schedule, for example Feb 31. _____________________________________________________ Why change the name? What started as a simple script to add tags from an external list has grown into much more. The plugin is now also used to create collections, and a "smart playlist" feature has been implemented using local media information. The idea behind this plugin was originally to create tags to use in conjunction with Emby’s new Home Screen Sections. I mainly build this plugin for my own needs. My goal is to have a plugin that helps manage and automate the home screen as much as possible. Now that I’m adding the ability to actually manage the home screen directly, I feel that the original name no longer describes the plugin accurately. It's still the same plugin, just with more and more functionality being added. However, it is evolving into a companion for managing the home screen — hence the name. HomeScreenCompanion.dll

Hi yes, it's the very top file. You do not display file extensions so in your case it's just called "embyserver"

I sent the screen shot of the files within the log folder because I don't know which one to attach. I appreciate the help, but sarcasm is not needed. As you can see on the screenshot I've attached there is not a specific file labeled "EmbyServer.txt".

Do you know how to attach the file? Specifically the EmbyServer.txt file? I am assuming you do since you know how to use a puter to take a screen shot. It's the big "Drag Files here to attach" right below where you are posting. I'm not sure why you haven't so far. See the screen shot below.

Yes, I know how to replace the mpv-1.dll in the protected WindowsApp folder but it's a PITA. In fact, I had a long chat session with Softworkz about this a while back. Also, Emby disables the loading of conf, script and plugins when it initializes the mpv-1.dll. I have a modified local build of mpv-1.dll which enables me to override the loading options if I'm forced to use the WindowsApp version in the future. Currently I'm using the modified mpv-1.dll which fixes the Dolby Atmos audio issue. This is getting a little off topic, but informative.

Inside the log folder...

Yes, and I have stated WHERE the file is located in logs directory. The folks who are trying to help are looking for the EmbyServer.txt file (3rd time I have said this).

I informed you that I found the location of the folder.

Hi. Did you read this...?

The EmbyServer.txt file that you indicated you found in your previous post.

The new app does allow mpv.dll updates in the same way as legacy, yes the directory is more difficult to access but not impossible. I updated it 2 days ago with the lastest mpv build. Softworkz can probably comment on the restricted usage.

If I knew exactly what to post, I would have. I am here to learn and to understand. What is exactly needed from the Windows Emby-Server program log?

So are you going to post it to allow the knowledge base to look at your logs and assist? That is the next step to help. Your asking to have this issue "resolved in the easiest and most efficient way" yet did not post the file those that can help were expecting. Please post the EmberServer.txt log file in the most easiest, efficient, quickest manner possible for next steps to be able to be taken to assist.

Emby suddenly stopped working today and normally if i cant connect to emby server locally or externally i restart my Asustor nas and its working again,but not this time. I have restarted my server and router several times and nothing helping with the issue. My asustor working fine,i can connect to all my hard disk, also i have plex on the same server and it working fine. i use to use plax until i found that Emby is better some time ago. embyserver.txt

Resolve this in the easiest and most efficient way possible, please.

Diagnostic Options are reverted to default after restarting the server. What do you see when it's set to Advanced?

Well, no, it won't. Putting the web URL in there does nothing. Is a normal user somehow supposed to find out the stream video url?

From my experience, I'm almost certain it's a proxy/cloudflare issue
