Definitely my number 1 feature request for Emby! In particular the Xtream Tuner Plugin that @grizlyadams mentioned has greatly improved the live TV experience, and adding catchup would be an excellent further improvement.

Hi, albums and artists are currently shared objects across the entire server, so that's why this happens. This is something we plan to revisit though in future updates.

I started seeing it on the latest windows beta a few days ago.

Correcting myself on the .infoBanner part above - I had that wrong, ignore what I said about it depending on your base theme. My theme is actually set to dark, so I went and looked properly. Emby renders the settings/dashboard area in the light theme no matter what your main theme is. You can watch it happen - the class on the html element is theme-dark on #!/home and theme-light on #!/dashboard, same session, and localStorage lastTheme stays "dark" the whole time. In modules/skinmanager.js the light theme is flagged isSettingsDefault, and the pick is: isSettings && "maintheme" !== id ? defaultSettingsTheme : defaultMainTheme defaultSettingsThemeIsMainTheme is only true without css variable support or on multiserver, so on a normal browser the settings area always gets the light one. Only way out is picking the "maintheme" option so settings follow your main theme. Same code in 4.9.5.0. So --card-background-lightness lands around 96% on the dashboard for basically everyone, and the banner is near white there even on a dark setup. It's not conditional, anyone using the theme who opens the dashboard has it. Sorry for the noise.

Both the TV and the iMac are on WiFi, the same network at 5 GHz.

I am working on a couple of plugins for this. A chrome plugin, that on Rotten Tomatoes, imdb, themoviedb, and the tvdb, you can send a request via email to me, so I can find the media. A complimentary plugin to the first, for the server owner, that on the same sites can search for the current movie/TV show, on a website setup by the server admin. Im working on getting this working with an executable (such as keepstreams) to get the media. An emby plugin, that will allow the user to request a missing episode which I am trying to tie into the current missing episode flow I would love to be able to have an emby plugin that showed all collections a movie was part of. Showing a ton more collections and movies that are missing. Then I would extend the emby plugin for missing episodes to missing movies. I already have a desktop application that will query an emby server and it then searches for the episodes. If anyone is interested in it, let me know

Yes, which is exactly what's preventing myself from downgrading, because the database changes typically require a clean install. You can try a dirty install of an older version (after you've backup up your system folder), but do so at your own risk with no guarantees.

Follow up on my post above - I checked the stable image so nobody has to guess. 4.9.5.0 has both of the same bits: the bubble is still built as "sliderBubble dialog", and the thumbnail is still set inline with getBubbleElement().style.backgroundImage. So it isn't something new in 4.10, stable is affected the same way. On the .infoBanner one, that depends on which base Emby theme you're using. Stable defines --card-background-lightness at a few different values, so on a dark base theme the banner comes out dark and there's nothing wrong. Mine resolved light, which is where the unreadable text came from. So that one won't hit everybody.

Hi, it might actually work now but we haven’t thoroughly tested and documented it. We still recommend joining the files.

Hi, is the TV wired or on WiFi?

TBH I have never tried, since I had issues earlier. And just decided to not try again, and combined all episodes with multi parts. After that I never looked back.

Alright, thanks, then I just misunderstood.

Did you modify the service in any way? Using systemctl edit for example? This can only happen if our LD_LIBRARY_PATH is already present in the environment when systemd runs our launcher script.

I'm only reporting the issue with ET 3.0.20/21. I'm not using the Windows App so I can't verify that it is happening there. I was commenting on @Mahinepuapost regarding having the same issue with the latest beta Windows App version.

Hi, first off thanks for this theme. Been running it on my server for a bit and the web client finally looks like something I want to open. Much appreciated. Ran into one issue and I think I found the cause, so posting it here in case it's useful. The preview thumbnails when you hover the progress bar during playback weren't showing for me. The bubble itself appeared fine - right size, dark background, chapter name and timestamp all there - just no image. Turns out Emby builds that bubble with the class "sliderBubble dialog", and it paints the thumbnail as an inline style: nowPlayingPositionSlider.getBubbleElement().style.backgroundImage = "url('...')" So it gets caught by this rule in the theme: html body .dialog { background: rgb(23, 31, 44) !important; background-color: rgb(23, 31, 44) !important; ... } The background shorthand sets background-image to none, and because it's !important it beats a normal inline style. So the image gets wiped before it can render. Removing just the shorthand line fixes it, and nothing changes visually because the background-color line right underneath is already doing the work. Same thing on the .sliderBubble rule further up. That one isn't !important so it doesn't kill the image, but the shorthand still resets background-size and background-repeat, so the thumbnail ends up tiled at full size instead of fitted. Changing it to background-color sorts it: .sliderBubble { border-radius: var(--ee-smallRadius); background-color: var(--ee-drawerColor); } One caveat - I'm on 4.10.0.22 beta, not stable. So I honestly don't know if this is a 4.10 markup change or if it hits everyone. If someone on stable can hover the progress bar mid playback and say whether the thumbnail shows properly, that would settle it. My guess is the tiling one would still show up on stable even if the first doesn't. Second thing, unrelated. On the dashboard the server info panel at the top (version, ports, LAN and WAN access) is basically unreadable for me. Emby gives .infoBanner a light background of its own and the theme doesn't restyle it, so you end up with light grey text on near white. Added this and it's fine now: .infoBanner { background-color: var(--ee-selectorBackgroundColor); color: var(--ee-textColor); } Worth knowing if you try it - I had to use "html body .infoBanner" with !important to make it stick. The dashboard's own CSS gets lazy loaded when you navigate there, so it lands after the custom CSS and wins at equal specificity. Took me a while to work that out, I thought my rule just wasn't loading at all. Anyway, minor stuff overall. Thanks again for putting this together.

Thanks @guilty57

That's great to hear - thanks for testing it and confirming. Good news for anyone else on macOS/.NET 6 too. I'll get the multi-targeting change committed properly (it's currently just a local build, not pushed yet) and make sure future releases include both a .NET 6 and a .NET 8 DLL as separate downloads, so this isn't something you have to build yourself going forward. Appreciate you being willing to try an unverified build - saved a lot of guessing.

Thanks. Does that mean Emby still cannot handle multi-file episodes? …I saw a post on this in 2020. Even Plex can do it.

I've compiled with .NET 6, the plugin is deployed now

Thank you very much for your time and detailed response, I really appreciate it. I'll keep using my app and we'll see if you guys open up the plugin model for 3rd party plugins. It might be worth while considering a specific case: it's not open for complex 3rd party plugins, only the ones that are simple and don't need to be updated much. That way reviewing the plugins becomes relatively easy and inexpensive while not having to review a bunch of future updates. That reduces he risk etc, and while I'm writing this I have a feeling you guys already considered that as well. Thank you again, and thank you for Emby.

Yes, for the best result in my experience.

In the thread below Luke describes why they picked those bitrates. FR is to give user some way to modify. You can use the diagnostics plug to modify the transcode parameters, but it's very limited.

Neminem - Thank you very much. Will proceed with library build out. Will also need to find out if there is a plugin or procedure for automatically migrating PLEX metadata to Emby, so I don't have to start from scratch. Thanks again. Sven901

Go to your libraries and add the second drive / folder to that library.
