A hard drive crash wiped out my server. I think I figured out my I ran out of memory. The playlist I tried to import had over 1000000 entries plus Live TV entries. I watched the memory on the memory reach 100% utilized. I will try this again with a smaller playlist. Here are the logs of my attempt embyserver-63923306945.txt

I’m getting close to the point where I’d be comfortable putting a prebuilt binary in the hands of a selected few. One of the biggest improvements has been getting the direct pass-through path genuinely solid. It’s not just raw passthrough anymore — the stream is still being normalized, remuxed, buffered, monitored, and recovered when the source misbehaves, just without unnecessary video re-encoding. That path has been performing extremely well in soak testing, even on some pretty ugly upstream feeds, so it’s becoming the preferred default. I want a little more soak time and some more real-world HLS/DASH validation first, but if that continues to look good, I’m hoping to have something ready real soon.

If I'm reading this right, the end goal is the Hulu-style landscape tiles rather than the website itself — so it might be worth separating the two. For the look: Emby already supports that. Set the library display to "Thumb" and it will use landscape art. The gaps you're seeing are just items missing a Thumb image. Two things usually fix most of it: - Enable Fanart.tv and move it to the top of the Image Fetchers order for that library. It serves moviethumb/tvthumb, which is exactly the image type you want. - For anything still missing, drop a thumb.jpg (or landscape.jpg) in the item's folder. Local images take priority over anything fetched remotely, they survive reinstalls, and they cost nothing. If you want a consistent style across the whole library — same framing, logo overlaid, same treatment — no provider will give you that, since Fanart is user-submitted and all over the place. But that's a job for a script that generates the images and writes them into your folders, not for a website. On the website question: hosting images is genuinely cheap. Static object storage (Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Bunny) runs roughly $1-5/month for a personal-sized set, and R2 has no egress charges plus a 10 GB free tier. Add a domain at ~$12/year. So call it under $5/month if that's all it is. The expensive part isn't the hosting. Emby won't pull from an arbitrary URL on its own — you'd need a C# plugin implementing a remote image provider, and then keep it working across Emby releases. That's real ongoing work for something local files already solve. Two questions that would change my answer: where are the images coming from (making them yourself, or collecting from existing providers?), and is this just for your own server or for other people to use?

My Networks tab currently has 416 items. This makes it all but useless. Since studios and networks are intermingled, a simple solution would be to allow us to filter what shows up on the Networks tab so we can limit the list to actual Networks and filter out the studios. I looked into making a plug-in, but the functionality I need does not appear to be available to plug-ins.

OK you should be moving the entire backup folder, not just a subfolder within it. So then I would say run the scan metadata folder scheduled task, which will take a long time, but it will make the server aware of all of the image files that are no longer present that used to be. That will make the broken images go away, but then yes, you will have to refresh metadata, but you can do it at a library level if desired.

Linux kernel 7.2 Emby+1.0.mp4

So I am currently using a NUC13i5 with 64GB of DDR4-3200 RAM. A friend has offered me a very nice ASUS NUC 15 Pro 7 255H with 32GB DDR5-5600 RAM. The hard drives will all be the same. Which one would you use for the EMBY server?

Thanks for confirming and sending the files. I’ll review and see what else we can do

Hi, it is resolved in the upcoming 4.10 server release. Thanks.

After installing Emby on the new synology I moved the databases folder "embyserver-backup-full" and the folder from the latest backup folder from the old synology to the new one. /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer Then I copied all files, same folder structure as before, from the old synology to the new one. >1200 movies, more than 6 TB. Regards, Jens

Hi SamES, I sent you the files directly. Unfortunately, the LG emby app update I installed just now did not fix the issue. Can also confirm, transcoding of TrueHD works.

I do not want to bug, however i am curious how to get notified of a fix and or where to look for it, or would it just roll out in a future upgrade?

Hi everyone, the app has been released in about a dozen more countries (not Brazil yet), so if you've been waiting on it then please check the app store and see if it's available to you now. We're going to work on Brazil next. Thanks.

A good example of a potential conflict is the Gracenote name "NFL Football" These can show either Live games or New games but the "new" games are the classic replays. Martin

@vdatanetmay have some tips.

Hi, this has been resolved as part of the upcoming 4.10 server release. Thanks.

This is why Catch-up tv is fantastic on Emby, you never miss a show or event and you never have to record anything you just rewind time and play.

I was wanting to start a website for posters, backdrops, logos etc for personal use maybe public depending on price. What I really would like is a way to grab image data for Emby from a website and reason started me wanting this is I like my data showing as thumb just like Hulu. How much would it cost to build a website just for images per month even a guess on price is what I'm looking for please. TY

Cool plugin, works great with my setup. Could we have it allow more than one folder instead of having all media in one folder be able to have many so we can add more Networks folders.

So, I have had these "Zombie" genre folders for a few months now. Movies has "Holiday Movies" and TV Shows has "Series" and "Soap". There are no titles in any of them and haven't been for quite some time but they will not go away. I have tried the plugin for Genre Cleaner, but they don't show up in the plugin, either. Any ideas on how to make these go away for good? Thanks

Looking good on both.

Could you share the source code so that everyone could self-host their own instance? That would be really great. Thank you for the project

TV Show Status Release Notes Changes 2.5.79.0 Fix two badges appearing on every card when the poster overlay and library card badges were both on Fix duplicate "Season Premiere" badge on episode 1 in Continue Watching Fix Season Finale missing on completed seasons of shows that are still airing Fix "Badge style: None" also switching off the poster overlay Fix cancelled shows showing "Ended" on the poster overlay Fix badges disappearing when the server has no internet connection Fix web badge needing a page refresh to appear Fix web badge disappearing when marking an episode watched or unwatched Fix badge colours not matching between the poster and the series page Add colour settings for ended, cancelled, still airing and complete Add Season Premiere and Season Finale badges on episodes Change ended badge default from red to amber Change badge font for better readability when scaled down Limitations Turning "Prepend status to show description" on can produce two badges on a poster. Leave it off for now With Emby's "Hide spoiler information from unwatched episodes" on, unwatched episodes show the series artwork, so you see the show's badge rather than an episode one Episodes with no artwork of their own borrow the series picture, and the series badge comes with it Your library's thumbnail view and the Upcoming list request the same image, so a badge in one appears in the other. Poster view is the only layout that separates them Changing a setting may not update artwork you have already viewed. Refresh metadata on the show, or wait for Emby to re-read it "Draw badges on library cards" is web browser only, and is ignored while the poster overlay is on Ended defaults to amber on new installs only. Existing installs keep whatever they had EmbyTVShowStatus.dll

@ebrCould it be possible to make this available in the Android Tv app. Currently can set playback to 1000 Mbps Would be good to have it the same as the others: Up to 4k - 200Mpbs Up to 1080p - 60 Mbps This should then allow people to set to max 1080 and then it will play the 1080 version if both exist Thanks

Uploading images and the Emby log makes it quicker to solve the bugs. Thanks for reporting
