Hi @yocker Embarassingly, I can't seem to get your Plugin to work .. The Plugin is loading, I see it in the Plugin area, I see it load in the logs - but when I click on Settings - nothing at all happens. The config XML file is not being created - so I tried forcing a blank one but no joy. Other config XML's are being updated, so it's not a write/permission issue. I've tried cleaning browser cache, private & also an alternative browser. Filtered log below if this helps. I'm using the latest Emby beta - 4.10.0.10 Any help appreciated ! Thanks. Nothing shows from above - and nothing is actionable.

I have noticed a bug in the plugin with Emby 4.10.0.10 regarding playstate. It does no longer sync to Emby when set in the plugin, I'm working on a fix but I'm a bit busy so it might take some days before i get time to fix it. Thanks for your patience!

Should be possible, I'll look into it!

Ok, let's go step by step. The "Downloads section"... I assume you downloaded content via Kodi's context menu "EMBY: Download"? The you played the content and the progress was not reported to Emby server? Is that right?

Hello Everyone, I wanted to write this topic because it's a series issue that I have been facing for a while now and I haven't discovered the cause of the issue yet. but I have found a way around it. First of all I want to mention why I have switched and subscribed to emby in the first place. I have always used Plex and it was bugging me all the time with their server issues and playback issues and almost every two weeks I had to reinstall the server because it just shuts down by itself. The movies I play on my TV and Soundbar are all 4K with TrueHD 7.1 surround sound. so you can imagine how huge these files were and the power they required to be played. Then I discovered emby. and man I was so happy that I found an app and server that play these movies super fast with no lag and no stutter and no server issues. at that time emby server was on 4.8.3.0. it played everything I throw at it. no server issues whatsoever. I subscribed immediately and transferred my whole library to emby. ditched plex completely. I stayed on version 4.8.3.0. for almost a year without updating my server and it was working amazingly. last year about the end of the year time I decided to update my server, since I saw a huge change log I said to myself it would be even better with these updates. little did I know that updating my server would be the end for emby for me. after that update to 4.9.3 and above and even the beta updates 4.10. My emby couldn't play any movies at 4K TrueHD 7.1. It crashes within the first 3 minutes of playing the movie. I couldn't figure out why or whats happening. I thought maybe the movies are corrupted and I redownload them. whenever I play a movie it just crashes and I have to relaunch the server. like it can't handle that format anymore. I tried to search here for a solution but nothing helped me. And I almost gave up on emby in search for something better or go back to plex because it didn't have that crash issue for me. As a final solution I wanted to try, I remembered why I switched to emby in the first place.. fast, no lag and no crashes at all, and that made me think of the version of emby server the moment I discovered it. I remembered that when I fell in love with emby it was on version 4.8.3.0. So as a final solution to try and fix the issue I said why not to try the old version of the server. And here is the surprise, No more lagging, no more crashing at all. it played my movies smoothly and with no worry that it would crash at any moment. So emby team, this is my message to you. Whatever you did after version 4.8.3.0. please revisit that and see whats changed. because this version never crashes for me. Finally, I hope this helps whoever is having these issues just like me. and sorry for the long essay I just wanted to express my feelings while explaining this issue.

@GrimReaper Thanks for the v1.3 update! I've been using v1.2 every day for at least a couple of hours. Though, much of that time has been tagging in Mp3tag and then reviewing the end-results in Emby, plus revising. Here's some casual in-use observations... I've mainly been selecting specific Album Artists with 20+ Albums and doing: CLEAR ALL TAGS ADD+MAP RELEASETYPE ADD ROONALBUMTAG Then, if I have made an error, I select the specific Album and use any method (sometimes REPLACE) to correct the error. I think the new CLEAR options you have added for v1.3 will be very useful, once I have tagged a significant part of my library and then need to clear/change something specific without potentially messing up everything else. With initial testing, I had previously noticed that the SELECT ALBUMS drop-down menus keep the start and end of the names with "..." in the middle. This is actually very useful, because it didn't take me long to find an example where I need the end of the title to properly identify the specific Album Artist: This also makes it easy to quickly locate (e.g.) a "Top 100" Album Artist. Also, as a small test I tried updating from a folder-level - all "Zz" Albums at once. This worked with no problems. Once I finish the "Top 100" then I expect the folder-level bulk importing will be used more often. There are three minor suggestions I have for the SELECT ALBUMS section. Change "Album artist" heading to "Album Artist" to match with Mp3tag and Emby. Decrease the width of the Folder drop-down menu (perhaps same as Library) to allow for slightly wider Album Artist and Album menus. Increase the length of the drop down by 50%(?) to see more Album Artists and Albums. (If it is difficult, don't worry, it works fine as-is). I had also previously noticed the ACTIVITY LOG color coding: This is useful to show what is happening at a glance My interpretation has been: Red - no changes or an error Green - single change or ok Blue - multiple changes and ok The new color accents in v1.3 have "thrown me" a little bit. Just with the Green/Blue order. Wondering if they should be swapped to match the ACTIVITY LOG??? E.g. ADD = Blue and REPLACE = Green. Note, I haven't used this significantly as yet - this is just an initial first impression. I tend to think in color spectrum order - Blue is therefore "safer" than green. Though I guess most people don't think like that??? If what I have said is not logical for the whole GUI functions, then perhaps just keep it as it is? The v1.3 additional mapping drop downs look interesting. Currently my tags/mapping have consolidated to this: But that could all change tomorrow.... or next year...!!! Can't think of anything else at the moment - will continue with v1.3 now...

Already requested here as Thumbs currently only come from FanArt as TMDB language backdrops are not mapped.

Hi, what image language did you configure for the library?

Hi, it's not a bad idea. There's always the question of how important is it compared to other pieces of data that we're trying to show there, and then at what point does it all become too much.

Hi, and its' only in one place right?

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

HI, it's not a username and password for the hard drive, it's for the network share. the path you entered is a network path. are you sure that is the right path to your drive?

Hi, thanks for following up.

please disregard, factory reset my NAS and it installed DSM 7.3 which was not available before

Gostaria de saber sobre a possibilidade do Emby buscar por imagens em PT-BR no TMDB sendo que agora eles oferecem suporte ao nosso idioma tenho o Jellyfin e ele já tem o suporte pra buscar imagens em PT-BR, não sei se isso é implementado via plug-in do emby algo relacionado a busca por API se os desenvolvedores puderem nos esclarecer sobre agradeço.

Running a 2TB WD BLACK SN850X, not even half full so I doubt that is affecting it. Really wish I could revert to the previous search until a fix is ready to test out.

seems related then to the storage speed? as cpu isnt bottleneck.

Currently running v4.10.0.1b on a DS218j, updating past that to v4.10.0.8b will cause my unit to freeze and become unresponsive when trying to run. emby-server-synology7_4.10.0.8_armv7.spk DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 9

That IS odd. My library is ~80TB but I think the difference in my case might be related to the number of artists/performers/composers that are tagged on my files. I never see the Emby process use more than 15% CPU usage, even when it's locked up from a search query. I also have 10GB allocated to cache size in the settings, but the only time it's ever gotten close to using that is during a database clean/vacuum.

@Lukeor @ebrshould respond soon. I'm sure they'll add it to the list to fix, but they might ask for logs.

so weird that i have never had this happen. on windows. i do have a 24 cores 48 threads though. 35Tb library. on a hardware raid ssd setup though. when i do a search i dont even see cpu usage go up.

Addition: This doesn't happen with "Show name" directories that are only in "Shows.Incoming" and not in "Shows", just with files in "Show name" directories that exist in "Shows.Incoming" AND "Shows".

I didn’t know for a long time what the diff is between Emby for Android and Emby for Android TV and was always confusing… now that everything is moving to Emby for Android eventually I just wish we can still pay for the device unlock feature as not many Emby server ppl want premiere and lifts the burden on them

Hey Luke Sorry this old man is blind, HA HA I did not see the Guide button at the bottom when watching the show. Really Du** of me. Great app thanks again.

Hi Luke, I have the emby client on the fire tv cube and i only see the guide and then i play a channel but if i want to see whats on the guide again it closes the tv show i am watching. Am i missing something in the client setup? Thanks
