Manually installing an Emby plugin on Synology — DLL drop For plugins that aren't in the catalog — a third-party plugin shipped as a .dll (sometimes inside a .zip). Drop the DLL into Emby's plugins folder and restart. The only Synology-specific trick is finding that folder. Native or Docker? The steps are the same — only the plugins-folder path differs depending on whether you installed the Emby .spk package from Package Center or you run Emby in Container Manager / Docker. Both paths are below. Step 1 — Find your plugins folder The plugins folder sits directly below Emby's data folder. Don't guess the path — Emby tells you where it is: open Dashboard → 3-dot menu → Get Server Info (or check the Paths section) and note the data folder, then look for plugins just under it. native .spk → typically /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer/plugins/ (a hidden system folder — reach it over SSH or WinSCP; confirm the exact path from Dashboard first) Docker → inside the folder you mapped to /config, e.g. /volume1/docker/emby/config/plugins/ (a normal shared folder — just browse to it in File Station) Step 2 — Drop the DLL in and restart Stop Emby Server before copying anything — Package Center for a native install, Container Manager for Docker. If the plugin came as a .zip, unzip it and locate the .dll. Copy the .dll into the plugins folder from Step 1. Replacing an older copy? Rename the old one to .dll.old first. Fix ownership/permissions — the step people miss on a NAS. Make the new .dll match the owner and permissions of the other .dll files already in that folder, or Emby won't load it. Start Emby Server again. Confirm it under Dashboard → Plugins → My Plugins. Docker tip: because the plugins folder lives in a normal shared folder, you can do the whole thing from File Station — no SSH needed. The native package hides its data under @appdata, so SSH (or WinSCP) is the practical way in. If the plugin doesn't show up Server wasn't fully stopped when you copied the DLL — stop it, recopy, start. Wrong ownership/permissions on the .dll — match it to the neighbouring plugin files. Wrong folder — re-check the data-folder path in Get Server Info; the file belongs in plugins, directly below it. Check the server log for a load error mentioning the plugin. In short: stop the server, drop the DLL into the plugins folder below your data folder, match the file's permissions to its neighbours, start again.

Thank you, and the Mods for pointing me to this solution. I am no docker or Emby expert by any means, but Claude AI was able to write the script and the files necessary to get this to work. So if I can do it with the aid of AI, I think anyone could. I would post the files, but they are customized to my QNAP NaS, so will not work generally. We found that we had to install ffmpeg in the comskip container to get it to work as a idiosyncrasy with QNAP. Also, we created the docker source on the server as another. So basically it requires: dockerfile (because of Qnap workarounds) comchap.sh docker-compose.yml with all kinds of various Qnap workarounds. comskip.ini If someone is running a QNAP with QuTS Hero, I would be happy to share the files. They would be of no use to other environments. Get-R-Done with Claude or your favorite AI.

Did you install Emby as a docker service on Synology?

Gracias por la info visproduction Modo desarrollador no lo tengo activado o al menos yo no lo activé para hacer la instalación desde el usb, leo que algunos han reiniciado de fabrica, me gastaría alguna solución para no tener que perder los ajustes

See:

Hi - I'm also running into the same issue - Emby app from Microsoft Store doesn't open. I am using a Surface Pro that needs the ARM64 package. Can you invite me to the beta package? Thanks.

Recientemente instale emby en un tv Samsung por usb ya que la versión de la tienda Samsung es 2.2.8 y pensaba que con una mas actual quitaría el fallo de al pasar de un capitulo a otro de una seria de forma manual, la barra de estado no se esconde de forma automática como pasaba en versiones anteriores, se instaló correctamente y funciona bien, lleva varios días funcionando, pero hoy ha salido esta notificación cada vez que lo inicio, pensando que podría ser certificado caducado o alguna actualización con lo que la he desinstalado y he instalado el que hay en la tienda oficial de apps de la tv, aun así sigue saliendo. antes de instalar la de la tienda de Samsung, hice mantenimiento del dispositivo para borrar la cache de la tv, un reinicio dejando el boton de encendido del mando presionado y luego instalar la que hay en la tienda de Samsung, pero aun sigue saliendo esa notificación cada vez que inicio la app de emby. mi tv es Samsung oled modelo S93D. Alguna solución? Muchas gracias. P.D. Después de dar a ok emby funciona bien

Yeah they are logged in to the same account. I just noticed when I look at the activities on the server, the playback never show up there, only the authentication from each device. If I play from the Emby app, the playback activities show up.

I am in a similar situation. I have a 77" Class OLED S90D paired with HW-Q990D, but I run on Emby on an Ubuntu server. I think the sound quality is excellent, however sometimes it just feels like something is "missing" when transcoding DTS audio. So I did the Nvidia shield thing. It does direct play, but it sounded far less boombastic and almost tinny. Then I bought a Intel NUC 13 PRO (NUC13ANKi5000) that I put Bazzite on. I find it better than the Shield, but still not as good as the transcoded Samsung app+soundbar. From what I can tell from reading other forums is that if you are using the Emby app on the TV, it has access to the internal DSP that makes it sound objectively better. If going through the soundbar, you get native audio codec compatibility, but no DSP effects applied to the audio stream. Honestly, it's a lot of work troubleshooting. For me, in the long run, it's just not worth the time. The transcoded movies sound great or at least better than the direct playback. And 90% of the time, the TV is playing older TV shows or media that doesn't matter if it is even surround sound.

Many thanks for your help! I have check and see ... nothing for a "Tecembryo". I can only find instructions for deleting or modifying, not for adding anything. Never mind, I don't dare try it, so I'll just have to do without.

Just another Emby user. Not part of any support team Is was a quick forum search to finde it. Guess I'm not lazy.

Done and wait ... thanks for fast support!

Hi, For some time now, I haven't been getting any theme.mp3 files for my TV shows and movies. It's actually a paid plugin – $8 – but as a premium user, it's supposedly free with full functionality. Has something changed, or am I misunderstanding something? I'm using version 4.10.0.20 beta. Is there any information about this, or is it just not working for me again?

I would ask the plugin dev.

The problem doesn't seem to be resolved yet. I've attached some screenshots in the hope that they might help better pinpoint what's happening. As shown in Figure 1, Emby is running in a floating window on the Samsung DeX desktop. After I click Play, the behavior shown in Figure 2 occurs: the video immediately takes over the entire external display instead of staying inside the Emby window. At this point, it cannot be controlled directly. The only way to interact with playback is through the Emby media controls in the notification panel on the phone. (Alternatively, as I mentioned in my original post, if playback is started from the Emby app on the phone instead of the DeX desktop, the playback controls on the phone can also control the video.) If I press Back (by bluetooth mouse or gesture provided by phone or DeX) at this point, it enters the state shown in Figure 3: the video closed and the Emby floating window becomes a black screen. However, the video is still playing in the background, and the playback controls can still be brought up, as shown in Figure 4. Pressing Back one more time returns to the original state shown in Figure 1 (see Figure 5). I hope these screenshots help narrow down the cause of the issue. Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you very much! Audio is working fine now.

@TecEmbryo Have a look at the documentation. Plugins Overview | Emby Documentation Emby Server Data Folder | Emby Documentation

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to create such helpful tools. They're exactly what I'm looking for. The "Theme TV Show Songs" in Emby seems to be broken; I haven't been getting any Theme.mp3 files for weeks. Your tool comes in very handy. But I'm already stuck at: "drop it into your Emby plugins folder, then restart the server." - I can barely turn my Synology NAS on and off - I need help with everything else. So how do I get the DLL into a plugin folder that I can't find? Can you help me with that?

Absolutely, no.

I imagine that everyday. Though I know it will not happen

were you able to reproduce the issue?

so, close the topic?

Agree, it's going to be a manually thing if anything plus I'm going to ask the people behind theintrodb before even considering it.
