You can set up Emby as a DLNA server.

Hello...eero is an app based router, but I went through the process and turned my wifi off on the phone and I was able to access the emby server. The next time I leave the house, I will try to connect to it as well. Now, my next question is, if I create a user profile for a person externally, how would I go about them accessing their login?

I've noticed those issues, I'm out of the country now but will have a fix out next week

I absolutely love this theme! Thanks for all the effort. I do have two odd things I cannot manage myself, I think: In some desciptions, like woth Actors: the 'rounded' style cuts of the text fater several characters. (See: rounded issue.jpg) The other thing is that when in 'Movies' (in my setup, that is my Movies catalog), it gives me options in the top of the screen that I seem not to be able to change. When I turn this CSS of, several optyions aren't visible. (See: Options issue.jpg) For me, options I do not need to see are: 'Shows'; 'Photo's'; 'Album Artists'; 'Artists'; 'Album'; ''Tags'. In the CSS file, I do not find them. I don't really know how this happens and how this can be changed?

Tks - I guess the main issue of not being able to turn it off is fixed, but I'll take another look on the logic. I can see the issue (thanks for the example) as you are using multiple layers of folders, so it's using the Parent folder as the name not the folder itself.

Hi, I think you may have possibly misunderstood the requirement??? You should ideally be able to keep ARTIST as the embedded metadata individual artist(s) for the specific relevant tracks. You then need to ensure you have an additional embedded metadata field called ALBUMARTIST that pertains to the whole album as opposed to the individual songs. Once you have the separate ARTIST tags plus the overall ALBUMARTIST tag of (e.g.) "Various Artists" then Emby will combine the songs into the required Album. The official Emby documentation about this is here: https://emby.media/support/articles/Music-Naming.html From you screenshot it doesn't look like you have any ALBUMARTIST or ALBUM ARTIST tags? You can also check this with the metadata editor within Emby, but it is best to make any modifications required with you embedded metadata with a tagging program and then rescan into Emby. Cheers!

@GrimReaper Will do, thanx!

See screen shot Neminem suggestion of change artist to various artists works, but obviously looses the track artist Ripped off CD's with old PC years ago with iTunes 8.2 as will see

Check out Cinema Intros plugin.

I still have to try/do that. Because of this comment: "Be careful not to accidentally lock yourself out of your server, even on the local network. That's what the combination of Lan Networks + disabling remote access can cause if not configured correctly" I am carffull of experimenting without giving it good thought :-) One thing I did fugure out that aprt from the server to be maintained/accessed from out of my LAN, you also have to set external access per user. I hadn't seen that yet. I'm still learning a lot, being a new user for only two weeks. My main focus now is to install Emby as a Docker container instead of as a Synology package. I feel it is easier to tweak smaller thing and access the folders and files. Also, somewhere in the future I will move all my containers from my NAS to a dedicated serer/homelab. I will report here if this setting for remote access via VPN is working (without locking myself out...)

Hi! I have a 3 min Mkv clip that i would like to add to my movies as a trailer, i havent used the trailer function before and searched the forum but couldnt find a clear answer. Is it possible to add a "generic" trailer for each movie? And if so, how would one go about in doing so? Is it possible to activate some "intro" function so that my family users have the possibility to skip it if they want to? Thanx! N.

And with ForceSystemDecoder and the bottom five checkboxes (the one for disabling force transcoding and four video output options) ticked, everything H.265 play flawlessly. Shouldn't come too much as a surprise because the Xbox One S can play 4K Blu-ray natively, so there is no reason why it shouldn't be able to play similar bitstreams from an app. Still, my questions remains, how do I make proper bug reports regarding UI glitches, for example?

One addition: on Firefox, after the black screen, I scroll with the mouse, but the page is not adjusted to where I started from. So: 1.) scroll down to 50%, then select a media to play 2.) after finish, Emby returns to grid, but it's empty 3.) I scroll a bit with the mouse, and the grid is not around 50%, but absolutely random. So I can't play the next file, unless I scroll again and search for it.

Thank you! This seems a bit misleading on more client platforms (LG TV, Android, Linux). Is "Stats for nerds" content coming from Emby Server, or it's a judgement of the client devices?

Chrome seems doing it just fine (Version 146.0.7680.80 (Official Build) (64-bit)).

I finally found the force transcoding checkbox and unchecked it for testing purposes, now it somewhat reliable plays or sometimes visually glitches out which is of no fault of yours but the hardware decoder. But that is not entirely dependent on bitrate.

Super boulot. Merci pour le partage. Je suis intéressé pour voir même si mes besoins sont très simples.

pues le doy a poner y se pone a cargar y nada , no la termina de cojer la portada , no se por que sera , pero se tira cargando todo el rato, si puideras coroborarlo estaria bien

No I don't have info files next to the videos... I use the Emby Server 'identify' and 'edit images' function in the drop downs to get the correct IMDB link and add images if they don't automatically update from the 'identify' function.. Guessing all is saved in the Emby App/folder ??? If so I'd like to access that folder and copy/paste it into the other Emby Server app I have on another computer so I can have both versions matched without having to manually do it all again.

Sorry for the late reaction, but my "emby server" went down, i think a hdd faillure, an other failurre poped op its shuts down randomly, iwill respond asa its up again. Regards and thnx for the help so far

This might seem obvious to others, and I swore it was an issue 'inside Emby' to a degree, due to my own naivety, but just in case someone stumbles upon this thread like I did, this is what worked for me: 1) Check user permissions on the Emby Server for your libraries - this wasn't my issue as I have given myself access to all libraries, but still a good first check 2) Make sure your user on your machine hosting Emby has the correct permissions. In my case, I set up a new app, unrelated to Emby, to pull my content into a new media folder I had just created and even though I had added the new path into my Docker Compose file for Emby and restart the server, I was unable to play the content. After SSH'ing into my device and providing my user with the correct read/write permissions, I was able to play the content without any issues. That may not be what's happening here at all, I'm not the most savvy person, but figured those are 2 points worth ruling out, with an emphasis on making sure new volumes/folders have the correct permissions for your user on your machine.

All I installed was the 12.4.15 zip on the first post. Is there an additional repository to add? Edit: Thanks for the clue. I added the Emby repository http://kodi.emby.media Then I installed the Emby repository repository.beta.emby.kodi-1.0.11.zip and then installed the Kodi Emby Beta Addons>Video Addons>Emby for Kodi Next Gen (Video) and then the add-on showed up in the video add-ons list. Thank you, sir.

@jerkrl has this helped?

Because it's a website issue. ET Legacy uses files hosted on "tv.emby.media" which is where the bug resides. The Emby Team needs to update files on the site to fix this issue. I run a custom local proxy which allows me to revert back to old versions and even run offline.

Did you install the helpers?
