Watched data is held in the user.db I believe, and you can restore it via the Legacy Backup & Restore plugin.

Hm, I honestly don't know as I've never used it under that scenario - but I don't see why it wouldn't, as watchstates/playstates are tracked by item extetnalids which, in theory, should be the same on the new server just as they were on the old one, so that shouldn't matter. Maybe @Lukecan share some insight.

It restored my interface and subtitles language settings but not the resume/watched data. It may be because it is a new install ...

Not sure how that would work on an OS migration and a new server, but in theory it just might as it's only manipulating db userids and item externalids: you can try Extracting user data from the Backup & Restore plugin UI (you'd map one previous user to a user on a new server instance).

Yes and yes. I have both backups and all Emby folders from Windows as a 7z archive.

Hi, here's a bunch of logs where the audio does and doesn't work via the Emby app and DLNA. In testing this particular film I tried going through the playback correction wizard (not captured in the logs). This transcodes the file to 1080p and the audio does work after this, but it degrades the quality of the file and I'd much rather play direct (especially seeing as it's a 4k HDR). Annoyingly having applied playback correction to this file it seems to now default to that playback setting and I have to change the quality manually every time I want to play direct. ffmpeg-transcode-2ed671c1-9813-41ab-9e0e-e40052894819_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-42ab7047-a597-433f-b6ae-05390aea30b9_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-171127f6-a104-4b4c-94aa-072d7d4e931c_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-a55c8ca0-2860-41a0-874a-8841d8a8d32f_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-f3942f7c-c653-48cb-8d37-8783a1c874b3_1.txt embyserver.txt

Were you using Backup & Restore plugin previously? Do you still have access to your old installation?

Thanks so much for your reply, @GrimReaper In the myriad things of the world, the most real one is: database All the best!

Got the same issue on iPad as well

Yup it’s all set correctly, but as mentioned I am seeing nfo’s for videos but not images, so I guess they are only supported for video files.

Would you like a more emphatic way of saying it as "Hope is just a disappointment with a delay" or just plainly saying it as "Unfortunately, it's db-stored only"?

Hi @Luke @SamES It used to work so that when you switched Apple accounts on the Apple TV, the Emby user would switch as well. The system remembered the last Emby user who was logged in for that specific Emby profile on the Apple TV. Can we bring that back as one of the options?

Hello, I have recently moved my Emby Server installation from a Windows 11 machine to a Linux box. As far as I understood, copying everything as on a normal migration is not advisable when changing the OS from Windows to Linux as such I did a new install and re-created all my metadata however I was not able to find any info about where the titles resume (and already watched) info is stored (I am secretly hoping it is stored in a file somewhere on a per user basis and not in the DB) and I was wondering if someone in here would know about it? I know that the system folder is in /opt/emby-server/ and the users and metadata are, by default, stored in /var/lib/emby/. Thank you in advance for your help!

Just in case make sure the options are exactly like this to enable that option. /* --- CUSTOM MASTER PALETTE --- */ /* OPTION 1 - USE THE THEMES GOLD COLOR */ /* --my-gold: rgb(var(--my-gold-rgb)); /* Solid gold fallback for borders and text accents */ /* --my-gold-light: rgb(var(--my-gold-light-rgb)); /* Brighter gold fallback for highlight gradients */ /* --retro-navy: rgb(var(--navy-base-rgb)); /* Darkest navy fallback for main backgrounds */ /* --retro-navy-light: rgb(var(--navy-mid-rgb)); /* Mid-tone navy fallback for panels and cards */ /* --star-color: var(--retro-navy-light); /* Media info badge rating star color */ /* --star-glow: drop-shadow(0 0 5px rgba(7, 5, 0, 0)); /* Media info badge rating star glow */ /* OPTION 2 - USE THE USERS ACCENT COLOR PREFERENCES */ /* NOTE: KEEP IN MIND EVERY USER HAS THEIR OWN ACCENT COLOR OPTION */ --my-gold: hsl(var(--theme-primary-color-hue, 204), var(--theme-primary-color-saturation, 100%), var(--theme-primary-color-lightness, 50%)); /* Theme primary color set by User Accent Color */ --my-gold-light: color-mix(in srgb, var(--my-gold) 70%, white); /* Solid gold fallback for borders and text accents */ --retro-navy: rgb(var(--navy-base-rgb)); /* Brighter gold fallback for highlight gradients */ --retro-navy-light: rgb(var(--navy-mid-rgb)); /* Mid-tone navy fallback for panels and cards */ --star-color: rgb(255, 185, 0); /* Media info badge rating star color */ --star-glow: drop-shadow(0 0 5px rgba(255, 185, 0, 0.4)); /* Media info badge rating star glow */ Look for this at the top of the CSS: /* --- GLOBAL TYPOGRAPHY --- */ --font-header: 'Oswald', sans-serif; /* Primary cinematic header font */ --font-body: 'Sofia Sans', sans-serif; /* Standard readable body font */ If that does not correct it, could you paste in your Section1 just down to where the Seasonal event stuff begins inside a code block?

This seems to be the problem I'm having too, but haven't updated anything... Can someone walk me through how it is fixed, pretend I know nothing about computers and need to be walked through with every step clearly outlined...

Yeah, i will be doing that and also disable that Option. Try to get the AniList ID through the api.

Changed - D-pad navigation is currently disabled due to ongoing changes for the upcoming Android TV build. [1.0.1] - 2026-04-07 Fixes - Windows playback smoothness: set mpv properties `video-sync=display-resample`, `gpu-api=d3d11`, `interpolation=yes`, and `hwdec=d3d11va` . - Player input: mouse wheel volume works anywhere over the player surface (including over overlays/controls). - Player overlays: subtitles are non-interactive so pointer signals can pass through. - Next Up: The Next Up UI does not show the currently playing episode anymore. - Feedback: adds a top-right “Feedback” button (hidden on the player) that opens the Discord link, with a settings toggle to disable it. - First-time setup: exposes app preferences (language/playback defaults/feedback toggle) on the setup screen so users can set them before login.

New PUBLIC TESTING version available 12.4.17: Delta changelog 12.4.16 -> 12.4.17 fix favorites fix playlist artworks fix subitem (Tag, Genre etc.) artwork updates Comment: This version might be tagged as beta

Frankly, try streaming and not native file access. Only if you have real issues with streaming use native mode. The reason is simple, native mode needs modifications on Emby server and Kodi. "Optional Share Folder" but additionally, you need access /map a Kodi folder and they must "match". Also each modification of "Optional Share Folder" requires a full resync as Emby does not report those changes. Avoid that hassle, streaming works out of the box and I'm quite sure, you will not have any issues. Also I highly recommend, use the latest public testing version. 12.4.16 As you have installed 11.X version, it's quite easy to install/download via Kodi's filebrowser.

Which version?

Andorid app does not show at all text entered in General - Home Screen Banner text. Android TV app shows it normally.

So this morning I could hear my server working under a heavy load, I accessed it and found that it was importing all photos and videos from my documents/pictures/onedrive into "Home videos & photos" which I did not want, nor had configured that Library. So I stopped that task and removed the folders from that library., However, now the larger issue is that all TV, Movies and recorded TV is not appearing in the Libraries at all and the scan is not re-instating them, restarted the physical device and Emby Server and nothing? The physical files and .nfo files are all still on the drive where media is stored.

Hi, sorry for taking time, was very busy lately and missed this topic. I've pushed a fix for Ktuvit (v1.2.1.2) and Wizdom (v1.3.1.1) - it should be good now. Please reinstall the plugin, restart Emby server and test. Let me know if you have any further concerns. Sorry for the troubles.

Ok, so here is a log of trying to play an IT (Impulse Tracker) file in the latest Linux server (4.9.3). Emby (correctly) identifies it as music, so files of this type in a music library get attempted plays, but there is failure because there isn't actually a valid decoder available. I would be willing to contribute such a decoder (as a .NET plugin), but I would need some guidance on how to do that. None of the plugin APIs I found deliver audio streams to the plugin to handle. embyserver.txt

Updated and installed. I use the theme in sky blue, for a change I previously had one that predominated golden tones. I have tried the part that you mention of accent color Option 2. but it does not change, it is always the same color. I have left it as I had it. One question, if I wanted to change the font, how do I do it?
