Attached. Thanks! embyserver-63911807999.txt

This is my Server logs https://pastebin.com/GPDk2pWb

I know this thread is kind of dead but I do wonder if there is still an interest in this feature via a plug-in. Because I've been working pretty hard on something but don't want to put the work into trying to get it out unless there is actual interest in it. Let me know any thoughts.

@Hoochee?

Hi, not currently, but this question has come up before and options are possible for future updates. Thanks.

If it helps I've rotated the log file, still with debugging enabled, and ran the "inotifywait" watchers again, and saved the output, to align the two logs and be able to compare timestamps, and perhaps narrow down what is triggering it embyserver_inotifywait.txt inotifywait_log.txt

Is there a way to turn off the splash screen?

HI, the horizontal home screen doesn't show information under the poster, but rather shows info about whatever you have highlighted. In general it also just doesn't have the full feature set of the vertical home screen. It really is a special sauce screen taken from an old design of ours and it's specifically for the users who still want it. It sounds to me like you want to use the vertical home screen.

Apologies for the late reply, as I haven't had access to the server for a couple of weeks. After some more testing I'm back with some more information, and I can now say that disabling the saving to NFO files doesn't fix this. As you correctly suggested. I've attached another server log, with debugging enabled of course, but not really that much new in it, unfortunately. However, I noticed that the spin up seems to happen right around when chapter images are queried. Not that they necessarily are related, just that I noticed this is where it hangs while waiting for the disk to spin up, as you can tell by the time. And for context, the movie that triggered the drive spin up in this log, is "Ice Age - Continental Drift (2012)" around 18:17:28, and it also only has the two files, the .mkv and the .nfo. 2026-04-15 18:17:37.755 Debug ImageService-0HNKNOMEABN1D:00000024: http/1.1 Response 200 to host2.

This however led me to try and monitor disks for access to get a better understanding of what is happening. So I setup "inotifywait" with watchers for all the disks in the array, and more specifically the "movie" share. And surprisingly it actually seems to always access the folder containing the movie whenever the details page is accessed. Whether that is due to trying to query the chapter images, just verifying that the files still exists, or something else, I'm not sure. Here's an example of the output from the "inotifywait" watchers when accessing a random movie: 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999) OPEN,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999)/ OPEN,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999) ACCESS,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999)/ ACCESS,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999) ACCESS,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999)/ ACCESS,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999) CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999)/ CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999) OPEN,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999)/ OPEN,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999) ACCESS,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999)/ ACCESS,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999) ACCESS,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999)/ ACCESS,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999) CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE,ISDIR 18:59:41 /mnt/disk1/movies/The Green Mile (1999)/ CLOSE_NOWRITE,CLOSE,ISDIR Any idea as to what might be causing it to access the folder containing the media whenever you view the details page? The surprising bit here, is that after I had setup the watchers I could no longer reproduce the issue for the movie library. And the answer to why that is, is that "inotifywait" of course needs to traverse all the directories to setup the watchers, and in doing so the directories are added to the RAM cache (VFS). So, it appears that the reason for the spin up is that the directory of the movie, which details page I was accessing, wasn't cached to the RAM. At least that is my theory, since I haven't been able to reproduce it since. I've now manually "forced" the directory structure to be cached by the RAM by simply running a find command, and thereby touching all the directories. find /mnt/disk*/concerts/ /mnt/disk*/documentaries/ /mnt/disk*/movies/ /mnt/disk*/series/ /mnt/disk*/standup/ /mnt/user/concerts/ /mnt/user/documentaries/ /mnt/user/movies/ /mnt/user/series/ /mnt/user/standup/ -type d But I'm still wondering why Emby needs to access the directory when all the metadata is supposed to be in the server folder, which is currently on a separate SSD? Any ideas? embyserver.txt

Could be, Luke once wrote rhat PIL Skia is only one possibility for the overlays and it‘s not available on all platforms, will investigate. Can you take a look in your server log and see if you some errors in your server log after the reboot?

I've been doing a lot more digging in to this as I thought I had things working, but I do not. Only decoding, no encoding with the A380. @kikinjoWould you mind confirming that both encoding and decoding are working for you and not falling back to CPU and if you would not mind sharing the following as the only next step that I can see is for Emby to rebuild ffmpeg. I'm running 4.10.0.10. Kernel version (I assume still 6.17, did things work before 6.17? Is that the only thing you needed to do to get QSV working)? Intel media driver version (vainfo driver string and package version), libvpl / oneVPL versions, ffmpeg version and whether it’s built with --enable-libvpl, does your direct ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -c:v h264_qsv ... command work without device creation errors. QSV fails even though I have options of QSV in both encoding and decoding. QSV needs to be disabled for me for my system to work. I only have VAAPI options in decoding (they work). I do not have VAAPI options in decoding. Thank you.

@Error3972Are you running the beta server? Luke, I can reproduce with the latest beta server. It looks like the new image validation is failing but the image tags are being provided and this was not a problem until the most recent server beta release. 2026-04-15 14:23:25.011 Debug ImageService-0HNKQVE5EALOI:0000009F: http/1.1 GET http://‌192.168.4.46‌:8096/emby/Items/5175575/Images/Primary/0?EnableImageEnhancers=true&tag=dc8b048b0e1469b45d6c4642651dca3c&maxwidth=244&maxHeight=1080&quality=90.

I'm able to reproduce this. While no server details are shown it is problematic that someone could get past the login page without having authenticated. The potential is there for a secondary vulnerability to allow even deeper navigation or exposure of actual data.

Before make changes to "about:config" After make change

Thank you for making one so fast, I have tried to load this plugin but its not working could it be because I am using Arm64 as well?.

That solved all my problems. Thank you—you saved me a lot of searching.

The point is you just update season 1 with the notes but apply all the changes section 2 downwards. Of course, things below section 1 will change, that's where the magic happens. I don't know if I would ever say "This is the final version" as Emby devs are constantly adjusting tags and adding in new stuff. But as far as the TV apps, each have their own presentation styles (Android, Roku, Apple TV, etc...), it would be a nightmare for everybody if that was controlled though custom CSS. When I'm working, I use my 2nd display to watch movies, listen to music, etc. though the web interface. Outside of that I mainly use the Android App. The web interface I felt was lacking so that's why this project was born. It's only for web, and not the apps. But yes, that would be epic if the apps had a standard and I could apply the say the Halloween season theme to them. But that will never happen.

I think some changes aren't just in section 1, but it doesn't matter. When the final version is out, as you say, and there are no more updates, I'll have it ready. I've realized that I don't care about the OSD. As I mentioned, I don't watch the videos on the PC (server), I watch them on the TV. So it doesn't matter. It would be wonderful if it could be viewed on the TV as well. Regards

I can confirm it is not working if that is the case. My TV is now set to a 10 minute idle timer before the screen saver kicks in. I am not seeing the Emby screensaver / library slideshow start at all. I attempted this by pausing on a playing item and not pressing any buttons for over 5 minutes. Last night it was tested on the LG app, but I am quite certain this is also occurring on my Shield app.

There's no way to force portrait, but you can click the 3-dot menu to switch to thumb view and force that. When set to the primary image it will auto-detect.

Hi, this works just fine, what makes you think this? Try: Movie Title (Year) Or enter the two fields separately into each box. The best thing to do though would be to enter the moviedb id into the box for it though. Or whichever is the highest priority metadata fetcher that you've set in library options, that's the one I would enter into Identify. So if tvdb is configured first, then I would enter the tvdb id. Does that help?

Hopefully the document covers all of that. If not, then @sa2000can work with you to improve it. Thanks.

Hi, do you have nfo files next to your media?

What is being shown?
