Netflix and AppleTV use DD+ Atmos not TrueHD Atmos. The Emby app should pass DD+ Atmos also. As far as I know Sony apps still don't passthrough TrueHD. However, if you want to test this out turn off audio transcoding on the server. This will tell Emby to just pass the audio untouched and let the hardware try and handle it.

Just noticed this recently but, when using my FireTV, the "back" button will bring up the "Exit" menu. This occurs, for example, when browsing the library - it's fone because I can press "left" and get the sidebar menu and choose home. It's problematic when watching something and pressing "back" to return to the app - it will only offer the exit, change server menu. So I have to exit, then get back in if I don't want the next episode to play automatically, for example. This is using the latest Android (native) app and was happening on 4.10.0.5 and persists in 4.10.0.6.

I have a new provider and now I'm getting the error saying it is taking more than 30 seconds and timing out. I thought this was fixed in the last update?

@brothom Hey, this is a reply in reference to your other topic that is now closed and was redirected here. https://emby.media/community/topic/146994-tbpm-metadata-tag-filter/#comment-1513763 Perhaps the plugin mentioned in this current topic may be useful for you... BUT ALSO... In general (in case you don't know already) you can get any of your individual song/track embedded Tags, that Emby doesn't support now, into Emby using ROONTRACKTAG. While the following approach is not a magic silver bullet, it can be quite useful: In Mp3tag, bulk copy wanted tags to a custom ROONTRACKTAG field. Rescan relevant files in Emby to import them into Emby Tags. Then, use the Smart Playlists plugin to create smart playlists based on these Tags. I'm fairly certain you'll figure out the details, if it's of any benefit for you? Cheers!

I wonder about this if it still the case. I have a Sony TV with Google TV. If I run Netflix or Apple TV for example I get Atmos sound, but not with Emby. My TV is a Sony XR-77A80J (https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-oled-tvs-android-/xr-77a80j/specifications). Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks - So it is not the QNAP firewall as operating now. Network connection loss should not give rise to that. As Luke mentioned, it would only arise if there was a good successful response and showing no files Thanks for all looking and doing the tests.

Used Apollo for years with no issue other than little to no guide data. This last weekend Fox Sports and Bally Sports channels began showing Accu Weather and CNN. Contacted Apollo several times and was told they now only support their app, on which the channels show correctly. The app is basically linear tv with no recording which is unusable for me personally. Any suggestions on the Emby side to possibly resolve this? I’ve looked at the Accu weather and CNN channels to see if the content was simply switched but that is not the case. They claim the M3U used for the app and Emby is the same. Version 4.9.3

*Update* thats been over 2 weeks running perfectly, no removal of the files and folders. the only thing left to maybe investigate is the ethernet connection dropping, but i dont think if that happens the library would dissapear.

Posted in wrong thread. Apologies

Hi, there's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

Now that I'm using Emby more and more to manage my audio, I've noticed it would be nice if other tags other than "Genre" and "Artist" would also become available for sorting and or filtering. I'd like to see that TBPM, which is used by ID3v2 as the official tag to store Beats Per Minute were to become available in the Emby interface. Other examples of nice-to-haves tags would be TMOO (Mood), TCOP (Copyright).

New version up (v2.4.0) on yocksers/EmbyCredits Github. Added: Audo-Restore Markers. This will try and detect when Emby have changed the time markers in videos and run a backup restore if the credit markers have been removed. Tracer, this will show videos that have been added and not have detection run on them yet. Changed: Small cosmetic changed. Please note: The Auto-Restore Markers requires automating backup running for up to date backups to use. Also it's not a be all end all solution to Emby removing time markers, it might still fail to notice when it happens sometimes. A real solution would require a fix to Emby it self. It does limit it happening most of the time! Thank you to all who helped!! You know who you are! Special thanks to @Neminemfor being ready to help testing as always!! @GrimReaperI added the functionality you suggested to the editor, thanks for the suggestions!

Collection pages should have the option to adjust the poster image sizes. It just goes to a default size that I can't adjust. The main Movies, TV shows, etc views allow me to adjust image size but not collections. This results in me having different image sizes throughout my catalog. I think this functionality should be added.

Got it. I think that it should have that option. I will put in a feature request

There's a new plug in for Emby that's a game changer for live TV that renewed my interest.

Yea, one of them was @Luke

I'm creating a plugin with 2 pages, a config page and a report page and trying to use PluginUI (no embedded html/js) I can't get the config page to appear when you click on the plugin in the catalog (or select settings from the context menu), instead it just displays the report page This is what I'm setting in the controller public PluginConfigPageController(string pluginId) { PluginId = pluginId; PageInfo = new PluginPageInfo { Name = "Configuration", DisplayName = "Settings", MenuIcon = "settings", EnableInMainMenu = false, IsMainConfigPage = true, EnableInUserMenu = false, }; } For the report page I have IsMainConfigPage = false If I don't include the report page at all (remove it from the list of UIPageControllers) then the settings page is shown when clicking on the plugin, so it seems like it just picks one from that list to display and ignores IsMainConfigPage?

To enlarge on this a little: the way to get separate folders to remain visible as such in Emby is to specifically avoid using the names it recognises - precisely because those get combined! However, if these "unrecognised" folders contain names which Emby recognises as being specials (e.g. with s00e0n in the name) these may appear in the Specials folder as well - care and experimentation is required to get a tidy result, and future versions of Emby may break it again, because it's not supported.

Having this issue on the Emby App as well as the browser(s) and was able to reproduce it every time when I went for a run yesterday: 1. Open the Emby App 2. Go to an Album 3. Play the album and turn off screen 5. After (almost always, exactly) 2 songs, playback stops Skipping next, picking another song in the playlist does nothing, playlist is unusable now 6. Stop playback using the square button 7. Click the next song in the playlist -> repeat from step 5 It seems to be some sort of sleep mode issue, not disabling the screen has less issues but eventually (after about 10 songs or so, also in Chrome) the same issue will occur. Issue also seems to occur with audiobooks / chapters.

I see there is a difference between transcode (working subtitles) and remux (not showing subtitles). This used to work a couple of days ago.

Ok Can you guide me more clearly where this option would be in my TV’s app cause I’ve already tried to lower the quality on a movie or serie that I’m watching for example 480p 1mbs and same result I’ve also tried 480p 4mbs and auto and also the same freezing result. It freezes every 3-5 minutes or so :/ Hope to be able to get a solution

I had no choice but to make a backup, uninstall Emby, and reinstall it, but with version 4.8.11.0, the subtitles and playback on LG work perfectly. It's a shame; I've had this error for three months now, and they keep saying it will be fixed in the next server update, but it never comes!

I suggest changing the password for the username on the server and you try yourself again with the new password and manual login.
