All Activity

It's the same one you might have tested before. it's just adding it to the UI.

Oh I see where the disconnect is, no pun intended. OP had a whole library on a single disk. I'm looking at this from a drive pooling perspective, where Emby has no idea what drives are where, it just knows a crapload of files are suddenly missing.

Thanks so much! I'll test it out right away.

OK @SamEScan look into whether we can add detection for this model to force transcoding for higher resolution content. Thanks.

I've pushed an update to Cinema Intros that allows you to disable the similarity requirement. This will essentially give you random trailers.

Ok Thanks

Hi there, what exactly happens when you try? How to Report a Problem

@Chadstratts Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

The server only generates images for top level libraries, genres, tags, etc. Not for individual folders throughout your library. The best thing to do is add a folder.jpg into there.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi, yes it's a good idea to look into. Thanks.

I'd really like to be able to view what content I have on my server when it is not online by having the content/index list synced to my Android app each time they are both connected. It would be great to be able to check if I have certain media without firing up my server. Thanks!

OK it's odd that the 2017 movie got the same metadata and therefore was merged. If you have the server log from when it was first imported then we might be able to figure that out. Otherwise you've done right to clean it up manually. If you see another odd match like that please let us know and attach the emby server log from when it was first imported. thanks.

You can now skip the connecting stage with the latest update - discussion about it here

I don't often have my server on, but I want to listen to my offline music. Previously I had to wait a long time for the app to try connecting to the server before it figured out it couldn't before I could reach my downloaded music. Now I can get to it right away.

Great, looking forward to the “editions” feature

I haven't run on Emby on Windows in well over 10 years, I would need to test to provide any concrete advice, but if a drive isn't available then it wouldn't be there at all to scan, so that shouldn't be an issue. If, however, you had mapped say D:\ as a library folder, and you attach a new drive with that letter and the drive is blank, or contains other media, then sure it will scan it. If you had D:\Movies mapped instead, and now the newly mounted disk doesn't have that folder, it also shouldn't clear anything because that folder isn't there at all.

I see the beta is done and over. and when I go to play a game it says that I need to download it from the catalog. But its not showing up in the catalog. Any way to get a download that we now can use?

Thanks, not heard of Home Screen Companion but interested to know your thoughts/feedback when you get going with it. Sounds like it could be an option. If I have to rebuild my collections, I want some confidence that they'll stay.

I believe you can select a Playlist to download (maybe it's a genre), and then all songs in that playlist (or genre) will download, including from new albums added later. So Emby already supports syncing in that fashion without needing to manually keep selecting albums to download. However, there is no way to PLAY them by that same filter (exactly as you described). You have to select the album or the song, which is effectively unusable for many thousands of songs and many hundreds of albums. I'm 100% with you in wanting to be able to PLAY based on that playlist, including both in playlist order and by shuffle. (I don't personally care about filtering albums that are fully downloaded because all new albums always fully download automatically to my phone whenever it's back on my home network, but I respect you and others may have different needs.)

I don't know what you did but it made it worst now i can no longer search in emby either

Could you restate your advice for Windows users?

Right now we're focusing on the stability of it and then we'll get to features.

Hello everyone, I’m excited to share the initial beta release of the AFI-100 plugin for Emby! My ultimate goal is to submit this for inclusion in the official Emby plugin catalog, but first, I want to make sure it is thoroughly tested, reliable, and genuinely useful for the community. The Background For film buffs and collectors who love cinema history, the American Film Institute’s "100 Years... 100 Movies" lists are the gold standard for tracking iconic cinema. While Emby already provides powerful collection and tagging tools, curating these specific historic lists has traditionally meant manually looking up ranks, creating custom collections by hand, and cross-referencing external websites to see which classics you own. The Solution The AFI-100 plugin enhances Emby’s existing collection features by automating that curation. It evaluates your movie library against the official AFI lists, seamlessly builds the dedicated collections, and highlights qualifying films with their rank and recognition year. It provides an effortless way to celebrate cinema history in your library and see how your collection stacks up—completely automated and integrated with Emby. I’ve attached the compiled .dll to this post for anyone interested in testing it out. Please drop it into your server's plugins directory, take it for a spin, and let me know how it works for you. Any feedback, testing on different library setups, or bug reports will be invaluable as we polish it up for the official catalog submission! Privacy & Security One important design choice for this plugin is that it is completely self-contained. It requires zero external network activity—there are no outbound API calls, external database dependencies, or telemetry. All AFI milestone data and logic are bundled directly into the plugin itself, meaning your server’s library data and viewing habits never leave your local environment. It is lightweight, respects your privacy, and runs entirely offline. The full source code can be viewed on GitHub as well: https://github.com/bespokedb/AFI-100-Plugin Emby.Plugin.Afi100.dll

If you set up your library folders as I mentioned you wouldn't have that issue.
