There is often people requesting features to be put inside emby that already exists perfectly outside of it. For example often it's requested to implement certain storage providers. Rclone does already solve this question. For multiple providers. Everything you could wish for. And in your case the tool you are looking for is yt-dlp. And there is countless wrappers for it, also with mediaserver integrations. Also with emby integration. Point being is that for both cases in order to "maintain" functionality the emby team would have to do a lot of work and patching and testing just for those couple features, while there is dedicated expert teams out there doing this already for free open source software. You just have to know about it and learn to use it. And also the instagram downloader you linked there is most likely using yt-dlp. Basically every site in the internet offering download from fb, ig, X, tiktok, yt whatever uses yt-dlp.

Damn, yeah -- just realizing that. I think I have a tool that lets me query .db files -- that might be the better route.

Only issue with plugin is it only tracks from time of installation as it runs its own db.

Ooooh wonderful recommendation, thanks. I'll check that out.

There is no option within Emby for this. One would just do a blanket search on your filesystem for fanart and just delete. Correct but one should be able to just disable Backdrops setting it to 0 in your image fetcher options. Lock is stored in DB also preventing automatic changed to item. But does not stop manual changed.

Currently there is no option besides manually copying the activitylog.db and doing your own queries on that db or grabbing on from the backup folder. Opening the Activitylog in the ui is not searchable do to the virtual loading as you scroll as it could take forever for this log that technically goes back years or as old as your server. I would assume devs would have to add a specific search option for this database only. This is where the Playback Reporting plugin has some advantages with being able to query it db within the plugin.

Hi, Is there any way to run a search on activity? When I click the 'Activity' button to see the history (this link: /web/index.html#!/serveractivity?useractivity=true), that does seem to bring up the entire history of the server. However, if I ctrl+f on an item, it doesn't work, as it seems to only load items that you scroll down and hover over. I'm hoping to be able to do a proper search that will show any activity for a particular item -- is there a way to do this? Thanks.

Interesting, but I want to add that I am not using any beta version of iOS or tvOS software in my case.

No worries, I think it all depends on how much media you have, I prefer emby to down load whatever metadata and images it sees fit. For most stuff I don’t care about it’s good enough, then for films I really like I manually go in and use emby to either download some more backgrounds or replace the poster or other art. I have the bulky plugin and I did play around with it for you in case there was something easy in there. I’m not sure it will help you but take a look. There must be some standalone media manager apps out there, hopefully someone else will give you a recommendation.

You build your own or ask a friend for access to theirs. Period. Emby does not provide content.

they want to keep you locked into their eco-system and do not care about any third parties. No one should be buying these new devices. It's going to get even worse in the future as Google is locking down Android and there will no longer be any open source, free apps.

I questioned the removal - rather than change the channel. They have corrected the logo for 113 Sky One but not added an entry for it at 106 They also removed 408 Sky Sports Action Maybe the updates are iterative - removals and then additions later

Well so far they have removed sky Sports Cricket from the lineup and that is all

Yes - I found this web site and I used it to compare and ask gracenote to get the channel numbrs checked out for Sky Q. Not found an official Sky.com web page listing the Sky Q channels. Their changes web page does mention satellite channel numbers relating to the changes and I presume these would be Sky Q channel numbers - but for Sky Sports channels, only the rebadging for 412 to be Sky Sports Action is mentioned. These are the discrepancies I found between the Sky Q lineup for West and the list on the TVCL page. I asked gracenote to look into them

Well, I guess that can't be changed. You surely know which Emby version was the last one that displayed the filenames. I'd like to downgrade to that version for now. It takes too long to manually change all the meta tags of my trailers. Could you please tell me which version I would need to downgrade to? Thank you.

The app should have a subtitle offset option to temporarily fix issues like this in the future while a real fix is found. It has been 2 months of being unable to watch anything with subs

thanks, but try all that, still the same...

I am experiencing the Same issues.No Audio at all on Emby, and it appears to connected to the version of TVOS on the ATV. I have been testing the beta off 26.4 release 2. There is a change to audio output as ATV never let audio pass through in the past. Under 26.4 Beta under audio enabling Dolby atmos and continuous audio now enables native atmos. The way I tested this was loading a native movie with TrueHD Aliens is the movie. Under Plex, my SONOS bar shows ATMOS, with INFUSE plays native ATMOS. With Emby i get no audio at all, neither Dolby 5.1, ATMOS or DTS work. If I disable atmos and continuous audio on the ATV, audio returns to Emby. Hope this helps, but I think Emby is going to need an update for the forthcoming TVOS update …. Gary

Not before I'd entered this thread, no, but that seems entirely reasonable to me. I'd heard about this plugin a lot over in the various home screen threads before ever actually coming over here to dig into it.

Pretty sure TueNas runs it in a docker container, set the network mode to host and that should resolve.

I’m not going to argue about it, but I do have very different opinion. I don’t believe in miracles, but the TV is working now. Here is pcap file. I couldn’t see anything interesting in this capture. TV_1.pcap

Could we get a resolution filter on backdrops selection? I tend to get the 4k versions (3840x2160) of back drops when available but this usually requires a bit of searching to find in the returned results. Bonus for a library option to prefer higher resolution back drops over lower

@crusher11So you did not read anything in the first post about the plugin tbh typical you.

I don't think anyone was being misleading, I just saw it mentioned a lot in the context of “lets you do lots of cool stuff with the new home page” and thus thought of it in terms of the sorts of things I, personally, wanted to do with my homepage. And I guess most people on here already use Trakt, so it's less of a redundancy there (do I need to be a VIP on Trakt to create lists? I can't see a way to do it). I've also spent a lot of time with the VirtualTV plugin, setting up channels, and that allows you to do more things with the Emby metadata rather than relying on external sources, so I just kinda came in with those expectations I guess. Not anybody's fault.

am rlly enjoying using it but dunno how to use streamflow ? is it necessary for all or just live tv ? TIA
