I would love this

Should bring this back. Ironically its removal has rendered the setting as “bloat” now since it basically does nothing (certainly doesn’t do what you would expect, based on the option’s description!).

Ok, thanks for the info! Shutdown it is!

Hi from Berlin friends! Does sombody know how can i limit the People/Credits Genaeral for all Media, Maximum 15 oder 20? Thank you for helping!

Yes that's correct. Although it can be used offline, its not 100% functional due to on demand fetchers and other components that need the internet. Still can play media though. In my situation last Xmas Emby wasn't really usable due to IPTV and patchy internet freezing background tasks and bogging just browsing media. Once I removed IPTV everything worked fine...until I tried to view bio's of course. Unfortunately we live in a world where you are never truly offline anymore so you cant blame Emby. Even premiere authentication requires routine internet access, so its not technically usable offline on a permanent basis.

I have that issue on both stable and also on beta (2.319.0) I have to close it and reopen it for it to work.

The last two updates don´t seem to be very popular. It would be nice to have some feedback so I know what is good and what isn't. If there is no interest in the app, that's fine, really, but I'll have to consider to not share more updates, so please let me know, alright?

Hi, I was so surprised to hear this! Thank you so much!

hi, you can import vod content using the webstreams plugin.

Here is everything from the moment I hit "play" through the failure on an attempt a few minutes ago. Let me know if you need more. For this attempt, I actually changed the home streaming quality setting in the app from "Auto" to "4K-200mpbs" (i.e. way higher than the bitrate of the file or the default Emby seems to think this device can handle) It still errored out with the same "no compatible steams" box with no transcode effort, but this time in the log there's no complaint about the bitrate. I see it going from trying to direct play, to trying to trying to direct stream, to trying to remux, to failing completely. No server side errors; it just never requests a transcode like I would think it should. I could buy that maybe this gen of iPad can't play a Dolby Vision/HDR file (audio is just regular AC3), but in any event it should be trying to transcode, right? ipad playback error 2.txt

My root partition where emby-server was installed grew to the point where I must relocate some apps. With rsync I have migrated /var/lib/emby to another disk and created a link to the new folder at /var/lib/emby but the server still fails to start with an 'out of space' message: command: systemctl status emby-server result: ● emby-server.service - Emby Server is a personal media server with apps on just about every device Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Fri 2026-07-31 17:33:43 EDT; 5s ago Process: 833452 ExecStart=/opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server (code=dumped, signal=ABRT) Main PID: 833452 (code=dumped, signal=ABRT) Jul 31 17:33:40 webserver emby-server[833452]: Unhandled exception.

I have kept the original installation. Should I remove it? Shouldn't I be able to start the server at the new location given it has plenty of disk space available?

No, the suggestions are not new. They just were a plain text list before.

Please attach the complete emby server log. Thanks.

Do you by chance have stereo upmix, or dolby audio processing turned on in the Android settings? Mine aren't set.

Yes.

Ok, but will it continue to do automatic and scheduled operations, like if it's monitoring the folders for changes, will it pick those up, or does everything go manual? So as long as I don't tell it to start a scan, it shouldn't detect changes? Thanks!

It's a 9th gen iPad running iOS 26.6 (which I believe is the latest). Also I just tried playing this as the user in question on an iDevice that can direct play it (a newer iPad) -- it direct played fine but also transcoded fine when I changed the quality setting. So I am assuming this is an issue with the iOS app on the other device not properly calling for a transcode when it thinks it can't direct play? All devices in question are running version 2.2.55 of the app.

Hi, yes you'll still be able to do admin functions. You just won't be able to browse the library.

But lets not lose sight of the issue here. No internet should not make Emby slow or unusable.

Okay, if I nest the video folder in a title folder in the title folder then everything is shown. Mystery solved.

I removed the VIDEO_TS folder and then both the ISO and MP4 were recognized. It seems the folder takes precedence unto exclusivity.

I have a folder with: VIDEO_TS, movie ISO, and movie MP4. But only the "DVD" shows to play in a client app. I have the BD ISO plugin installed, but not sure if it would read the DVD ISO. Why doesn't it at least show the MP4 show as an alternate source?

Yep. Thanks for the explanation.

Something is amiss in your setup, either on the Shield itself, or the settings in the ATV app, as the Shield should NOT be doing any transcoding/downmixing, as it can only downmix to PCM 2.0, not anything else. If you have unsupported audio, then the server should be remuxing it to DD. I have a Sonos Playbar and the server remuxes unsupported audio to DD. Edit: I have just played the original AVATAR movie that has TrueHD 7.1 audio and both the ATV app and the Universal Android app both remux the audio to DD 5.1, whilst direct playing the video. Can I suggest that you check your settings again. Thanks.

Every few months I try the new Android app but it's just too buggy when using live TV, and in particular, the OSD guide, chapters etc. I want to use the new app, its just not possible for me currently.
