No video that you upload to YouTube is served directly. Videos are always processed and re-encoded in different sizes and qualities, codecs and separate audio tracks. Further, Emby is always embedding the YouTube html player in one or the other way. It is not allowed to download pure videos from YT and play them with your own player. Since the YT player is web-based and no browser engine supports MagicYUV, there's absolutely no chance for this to happen - even at (these) two levels.

I’m mostly satisfied that this has been addressed, But one last question, TRIALERS from YouTube? I don’t think YouTube is trustworthy (have you seen the BS ads they allow?) Also, how can we know if these are huge trailer files?

It looks like it’s supposed to as you can see from this. That’s what has me baffled is if they search then they’ll pull up different things but as far as on the home screen, all they can see is new releases.

I'm trying to get the server to pull metadata for Danganronpa 3. It's kind of a mess because sometimes it's listed as 1 show with 3 seasons, sometimes it's 3 separate shows, and sometimes the single-episode 3rd season is listed as a movie or special. IMDB seems to have the best data. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6016316/ Although that is tt6016216, and when I manually enter that and refresh metadata, it changes to tt6027642 which seems to redirect on the site... But when I refresh metadata it also ads the TMDB ID: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/67674-danganronpa-3-the-end-of-kibougamine-gakuen-zetsubou-hen Which is only for the second season listed as its own show, and they don't have listings for the 1st season, but they do for the 3rd as a movie. It also ads a TVDB ID: https://thetvdb.com/series/danganronpa-3-the-end-of-hopes-peak-academy-side-despair Which again only has the second season, and the 3rd as a movie. If I could force it to just pull from IMDB it would probably be fine, but it's pulling from incorrect sources. Is there a way to make sure it only pulls data from 1 source? Although I'm not sure it even can pull from IMDB, because I tried to temporarily turn off all other metadata sources in the library settings and it's not one of them.

Same issues but only with flac. m4a 128 - 256 and mp3 160 - 320 not any issues

Hi, the new version of Emby for windows does not support external players yet. you would have to use the older Emby theater. Is that What you are testing?

Cuando te sale el error, en el visor de eventos no te sale algún warning o error o crítico? Quizá allí aparezca algo más...

Maybe ASS subtitles?

@a11anI am going to show you a way round the problem but I stress that it is not officially supported but should work - As you have done, each movie's nfo file will define the collections the movie is to be included in by use of the "set" field - For each collection, you create a folder with the name of the collection and within that folder you have your image file(s) and optionally a collection.nfo file - Where you want to a collection to be tied to a specific tmdbid then you would have a collection.nfo that has that id. Also the movie's nfo file "set" field to include the tmdbid for the collection - you place the collection folders you create under a "metadata\collections" folder which is below the Emby Server Data folder - take care when editing nfo files to ensure you do not lose any utf 8 encoding during the edits Note that if you make changes to the metadata subfolders like that, then you may need to scan the metadata folder through the scheduled tasks server settings page I am going to show you examples here of a test I did with some collection titles I had from various users An example of a movie with an nfo that links to a collection with a preset tmdbid of "661028" <set tmdbcolid="661028"> <name>Pokémon Best Wishes! Collection</name> </set> The collection.nfo for this collection will have these fields to identify the collection <title>Pokémon Best Wishes! Collection</title> <tmdbid>661028</tmdbid> <uniqueid type="tmdb">661028</uniqueid> The metadata collection folder name you create for this will be the collection name followed by a -tmdb-id suffix Pokémon Best Wishes! Collection-tmdb-661028 Another example is one without a tmdb id for the collection The folder name for the collection is Blaxploitation Classics Vol. 1 and the movies in that collection have nfo files that have : <set> <name>Blaxploitation Classics Vol. 1</name> </set> This shows the folder tree of the collections folders i created for my test with custom images and nfo files ├───Blaxploitation Classics Vol. 1 │ collection.nfo │ poster.jpg │ ├───Pokémon Best Wishes! Collection-tmdb-661028 │ collection.nfo │ fanart.jpg │ poster.jpg │ └───Tommy Gibbs Collection-tmdb-534652 collection.nfo poster.jpg These 3 folders are copied to metadata\collections and I had them in place ready before I added the movies to the server The result was that my 3 collections had preset custom artwork

thanks So logo is right but schedule wrong. What does the channel actually broadcast - is it +1 hour compared to 322 Great! Romance?

but in this case you lose the "hash match" that match subtitles hash... right? I wish to be wrong but I think this will screw-up suggestions of subs

same here +1 to give use the option .... because this type of sub mostly 3/4 force server to re-encode video on go, causing issue and bottle-necks that are unnecessary ... if you can point me out to exact line code where it is listed I can do some magic and hide it via browser addon to alter JavaScript + CSS ... if developers cannot or won't (y) I can I just don't know exactly where .... without wasting hours of my life unless I am force too

I have setup a couple of collections if that's the correct terminology so Top 10, Spotlight equals Recently Released Movies, and a couple imports from ACdb.tv So my question is can we have them refresh as I haven't been able to get them to do so. I run all of the scheduled task for the home screen and they won't change what's current showing. It would be appreciated if someone could help and point me in the right direction if this could be done. Example: Top 10 Shows what's the top 10 this week then change out every week and the ACdb.tv to refresh when the scheduled task runs to update that collection and so forth. I hope I explained this okay and as always thanks in advance.

Did you ever wonder how Emby and Emby Theater did it? Best bet is to use an Android player with true AC-4 Martin

Hi, yes it certainly does, via server transcoding.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Hi @sa2000thanks for the update on this. I've refreshed and checked and for the channels in the 400s where there were duplicates from my previous screenshot these all seem to be cleared. New screenshot below. In relation to 323. I have 322 as "GREATRO" so this looks right. And also the EPG seems to match the channel schedule I find online for this. However 323 shows as "GRROMIX". The odd thing is if I set a channel to 323 for the guide data I get the "Great! Romance +1" channel logo, but the EPG guide data just shows "GREAT! Romance mix (Repeat)" for as far forward as I have checked. Ignore the Wrexham logo on the image below, I just picked 2 existing channels I had to tested channel 322 and 323.

While a pligin could fill the bill having the feature as part of Emby does make sense since most do have custom Collections / Playlist.

Some Japanese anime uses SUP/PGS subtitles with positioning so that they can display dialog, sign translations, and background music all at the same time. The Samsung TV app doesn't seem to support this format at all, while the Xbox One app displays the subtitles in a box in the lower part of the screen, so cuts out subtitles that are positioned outside that area. I've tried converting to SRT. However, even if I add positioning instructions (which are not officially part of the SRT format but often supported) that just displays the multiple lines as a single line making it unintelligible. Any advice appreciated, P.

Thank you TMCsw it helps alot. the argument it is expecting is a straight digits or number in other words. channel.exe is in the path and in a dos prompt channel.exe 131 or channel 3229 thats why i chose the recording channel number. i assumed it just passes the number? Ill give the full path a shot and this gives me a good start to getting it running as i was totaly lost as far as the cmd went and or the where. Ill get bak to it in a few days and see what i can do and leave a result here. thanks again.

well of course this was assuming emby built it in..

Great question. The short answer is — partially. The coordinator's results don't feed back into the standard Emby apps automatically. Those apps only talk to Emby's own API and have no awareness of the coordinator, so the live sonic features (Track Radio, Similar tracks, Sonic Adventure, Guest DJ) need liquidWave on the other end to query it and drive playback. What does cross over: any mix you generate in liquidWave can be saved as a real Emby playlist with one tap — it then shows up in every Emby app straight away. So you could use liquidWave purely as a playlist-generation tool if you wanted; build your sonic mixes there, save them, and play them wherever you like. The coordinator also exposes interactive API docs at /docs (it's a FastAPI service), so if you're comfortable with a bit of DIY you could query it directly and do whatever you want with the results — but that's not a supported path, just an open door. The natural integration point, and I say this knowing you're part of the Emby team — if Emby were to expose a "similar tracks" or "instant mix" provider interface at the server level, the plugin could proxy those requests straight through to the coordinator and every Emby app would get the sonic features for free. That would be the clean version of what I've had to build a separate app to do. For now liquidWave is the intended front end, but it's a good point about the separation — and an interesting conversation if there's ever appetite on the Emby side for something like that.

Shareable links do not work with Emby Client apps. The route No-IP is going down is an exact replicate of the feature Pangolin for selfhosted is offering. For this to work the Apps need custom header feature, hence this FR: Without it, just the Web access works.
