My apologies if this isn't the correct place to post this... Using Firefox on Windows with Windows Emby Server version 4.9.5 When switching my movie library between Date Added order and Title order, the switch doesn't apply. The drop-down at the top lists it as being in title order, but I don't get the alphabetical list on the right. If I go back and select Title order again, the list appears and everything is fine. It was definitely more reliable under 4.9.3. I'll add it's not ALL the time, but probably about 1/3 of the time, I have that problem.

I see beta build 4.10.0.16-beta got a security update for FFMPEG under entry of Update ffmpeg build to disable magicyuv decoder The vulnerability is called “PixelSmash” (tracked as CVE-2026-8461), a critical heap out-of-bounds write in FFmpeg’s MagicYUV decoder. Are there plans to release just a security update for 4.9.5 customers? I don't run beta on production server and the beta going GA is probably some way off still. Thanks

note that the server version is 4.9.5.

The issue that i noticed is that some audio like atmos unbale to detect by Emby server. Please check and fix this issue. Audio info in Emby (ios/ android TV/ chrome web browser) Title Hindi EAC3 5.1 (Default) Embedded Title Dolby Atmos 5.1 Language Hindi Codec EAC3 Layout 5.1 Channels 6 ch Bitrate 768 kbps Sample Rate 48,000 Hz Default Yes Audio info with Mediainfo: Audio ID : 2 Format : E-AC-3 JOC Format/Info : Enhanced AC-3 with Joint Object Coding Commercial name : Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos Codec ID : A_EAC3 Duration : 1 h 59 min Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 768 kb/s Channel(s) : 6 channels Channel layout : L R C LFE Ls Rs Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 31.250 FPS (1536 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 657 MiB (10%) Title : Dolby Atmos 5.1 Language : Hindi Service kind : Complete Main Default : Yes Forced : No

Yup working again.. cheers

Hi, yes that is fine. No problem.

Hi. Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares? Thanks.

I will definitely check this out and see what I can find.. that thought did come across my mind and I thought I'd checked my settings and everything but I'll review Thank you

Isn't all of this covered in the UI on the external player setup screen?

Can you give it another try?

Looks like you set the content type of the library to music. It would need to be music videos, or any of the other video types.

Hello, I would like to move all files in my media library to another subfolder, for example, from /video/movie/film1 to /video/movie/UHD/film1 How should I proceed to ensure the metadata and watch history for the media in this library are retained? I want to avoid having to re-scrape the metadata after the move. Can I simply move the files directly and then rescan the library?

I increased the watcher per your suggestion and rebooted my NAS. Will keep an eye on this and see if this helps

Every file and folder in your library uses a watch. A movie can be 50+ watches depending on how many pictures and stuff you like to keep. An instance is the number of changes since the last scan. Every actual watched file (not what you set it at) uses about 1K of memory.

Hi again, Have you tried changing the Album Artist field to "Soundtrack". Not the Artist field, just the Album Artist field. This will not affect the individual Artists on the individual Songs. Your "Soundtrack" Albums willl then appear under the one "Soundtrack" Album Artist and the Albums should then also be present in the "Albums as Contributing Artist" row on the respective individual Artist pages. As per my previous example, here is this view (e.g.) the main Album Artist page is "Larkin Poe" and the Bad Monkey "Soundtrack" Album on which they contribute only one Song also is shown on the row below their main Albums: The relevvant Song will also be in the Larkin Poe Songs list/page/etc. Of course, that's just my method of doing it. Whatever you wish to have as Album Artist should also work. If you still can't get it sorted out nicely, perhaps post your own specific example to help get to a resolution. Cheers!

Thank you for the quick reply and the help. I'm pretty sure I did setup spotlight collection with or within your plugin I'm not sure if I did it correctly so I will double check that. I will now work on the MDBLis instead of the ACdb and I'll report back

so what does "1148576" actually do? I remember few years ago where I posted about this, created the task, etc and fixed the issue. Never was certain about the number Thank You for your help!

Hi Luke, thanks for the suggestion but I'm using 4.9.3.0. again because I couldn't resolve the issues in 4.9.5.0. Version 4.9.3.0. works perfect for me. I just wait until the next update maybe then the bugs are fixed.

If you're going to add a bunch more files still, I would just change it to 1148576. Or, if you want to go up in smaller amounts just keep adding 10,000 until the error goes away.

so far in the document, what is your suggestion? this is what I have right now sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576; sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances=4096; Please advise and Thank You tvos

Ya, looks like you're going to have to bump that up some more again to make RTM work. A million + is a lot of files

Hi Luke, I wanted to share some great news. I’ve been testing Emby Theater’s external player feature with a small C# shim that launches VLC using the full LiveStream URL. The results have been outstanding. Weak OTA channels that normally freeze or lock tuners in Theater (like PBS 2.2 here) play smoothly in VLC with no stutter or audio drift. IPTV streams also behave better. VLC pause and mute work perfectly, and the shim automatically stops the LiveStream when VLC exits, so tuners are always released cleanly. My plan is to publish this as an open‑source community tool on GitHub. The full C# source will be included, along with build instructions using the standard .NET Framework compiler. A precompiled exe would be optional for convenience. Before I post anything publicly, I wanted to check with you to make sure this aligns with Emby’s expectations and that you’re comfortable with me sharing it. If you prefer a specific format, location, or disclaimer, I’m happy to follow your guidance. Thanks, Jan

I have tried MusicBrainz, it re-wrote the metadata, still individual albums, I would really like to maintain Artist names if possible, The rest of my library is mostly all showing correctly, only a few issues where I had to change Artist/Album Artist. Soundtracks is the last hurdle

thats goona be alot of popcorn!

It works if entered explicitly as: https://emby.example.com Setup: -Emby Server version: 4.9.1.90 -Reverse proxy: NPMplus -Cloudflare proxy in front -Emby Network setting: Secure connection mode = Handled by reverse proxy -Public HTTPS port: 443 -External domain: emby.example.com Browser login works correctly through the reverse proxy. The NPMplus access log shows: POST /emby/Users/authenticatebyname ... 200 But Emby for Android TV / Android app fails login when the server is entered as a bare hostname. Initially, with Cloudflare Always Use HTTPS enabled, the login attempt appeared in the proxy log as: GET /emby/Users/AuthenticateByName?format=json ... 401 Cloudflare was returning a 301 HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect before the request reached NPMplus. I then disabled Cloudflare Always Use HTTPS and NPMplus Force SSL, and tested custom NPMplus redirects using 308 and 307. That changed the Android app request to: POST /emby/Users/AuthenticateByName?format=json ... 308 and then: POST /emby/Users/AuthenticateByName?format=json ... 307 but the app still failed to complete the login after the redirect. So the conclusion is that the Emby for Android TV app appears not to handle HTTP to HTTPS redirects correctly during the AuthenticateByName login flow when the server is entered as a bare hostname. It either converts the login request to GET after a 301 redirect, or fails to complete login after a 307/308 redirect. Expected behavior: -If a user enters a bare domain like emby.example.com, the app should either default to HTTPS, follow 307/308 redirects correctly, or warn the user to enter https:// explicitly. -The app should not fail with invalid username/password when the issue is actually HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect handling. The workaround is the basically typing https:// first. But it's a bit painful to try and guide my dad (nearly 65) to type https://. If i could just have him type emby.example.com that would be much easier, and maybe he could even remember it, lol.
