for some reason emby has started buffering my Tom & Jerry Cartoons...I thought it might be a bad drive so I moved it to a different drive but it is still doing the same thing not sure why it started this out of the blue. Thanks Michael embyserver.txt

Having Emby run on a non-focussed tab causes this issue to occur much faster (also after about 2 or 3 songs). Here's a screeny of the console: From the "universal" log and onwards the playback suddenly started working again. It's almost like there's a timing issue going on between progress calls or so. I'll debug further.

+1 Agree with that feature. Since Emby updated the home screen customization , I immediately thought about removing the “Downloads” section, which can already be found in several other places. Would it be possible to implement an option to delete or remove this section on the home screen ? Thanks

@Luke Yes i do. I also Setup a new Swag Container just to test this out. It does not work when i have this enabled: If i turn this Feature off it works fine. (With NPM and also with Swag Setup)

While I agree, I'd say this is a nice-nice-nice-to-have feature and can be handled in the meanwhile by manually setting the images to something more neutral. Opposite to that, I'd suggest creating a separate library with child content, that'll make your file handling / management a lot easier since you'll get to decide on a per-file basis what they're allowed to; this also conveniently solves your image issue.

@user24i want to avoid any "third party integrations" as to make Emby as whole as possible. I would prefer not to jankily copy-paste files and cross my fingers it won't mess up my installation (as there is no guarantee obviously). Still, looking at this FR mine was a duplicate and I would like to have access to extra meta for songs as well and also filters / sort by them.

Ok, so if a source has TrueHD or proper Atmos soundtrack that could not be transcoded to Enhanced AC-3?

I have a profile for my children and the TV series Folder still shows the artwork generated for the main TV folder. this isn't a train smash but does not look accurate and doesn't look appropriate as an example the folder could show artwork from Blade or Walking dead on a 3 year olds screen. it would be great if the artwork is selected based on the current active profile.

Hi 4.10.0.6 really slow searching on alexa app Takes ages and shows a message at the bottom of the screen when it equally searches embyserver (12).txt

@ebrand @speechlesI too am having this issue all of a sudden, even on movies that played back properly before using internal and external SRT subs. I wonder if a recent Roku update broke something? I'm using a RokuTV running 15.1.4 build 3334. What's even more interesting is if I force a full transcode on the emby Roku app via playback correction, subtitles still don't appear.

Okay. I did. I will update asap.

But transcoding isn't restricted on my own account. Also, the videos all do direct play for the remote users, only audio is transcoded sometimes and that's not restricted.

It's an android dialog. doesn't it have an option to always use a certain app for a certain type of file?

hi, please attach the main emby server log as well. Thanks.

Hi, can you please show a screenshot example of where you are referring to? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing.

The plugin uses the images from Emby server not from TMDB, but some custom skins loading artwork from the internet. Anyway, I think the issue might be something else than a skinning problem. Not all changes are reported by the server and the plugin simply doesn't know the change. I will run some tests to identify the issue, but not sure if I can fix it from plugin side.

Problem solved. Kudos to the member who helped me out!

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a small personal project I’ve been working on called XiaoEmby. I originally built this to solve a specific need in my own home lab, and I’m open-sourcing it today in case anyone else in the community is looking for a similar solution. What is XiaoEmby? XiaoEmby is a lightweight tool that bridges your Emby music library with Xiaomi (XiaoAi) smart speakers. It is a customized extension of the xiaomusic project, specifically optimized to pull and stream media directly from an Emby server. Why I built this The core functionality is simple: I wanted a way to play my high-quality Emby music collection on my Xiaomi speakers (like the Xiaomi L17A / Xiaomi Sound Pro) without jumping through hoops. Key Features: Direct Emby Streaming: Access your server's music library and stream it directly to your smart speakers. Personal Integration: Tailored to handle the specific URL patterns and streaming requirements of the XiaoAi ecosystem. Simple Deployment: It’s designed to run easily via Docker, fitting right into a standard home lab environment. Open Source & Feedback Please keep in mind that this is a personal project I developed in my spare time. I’m sharing it here purely to help others who might have the same hardware setup and want to get more out of their Emby music library. You can find the code, setup instructions, and Docker details here: GitHub: https://github.com/backtracker/xiaoemby If you find it useful or have any suggestions, feel free to check it out or open an issue on GitHub. Happy listening!

I'm requesting that the EPG rendering allow for 2 lines of data and line breaks like \n tags. Similar to tivimate.

where is this server_type setting ive looked in all the configs youve posted and dont see this. if your reffering to setting up emby in config yes i have done this. i noticed in a recent post you said plex is no longer needed so i have tried with and without plex info. i get a list of errors when plex is removed from the config. i have tried to load all of your preset configs as well and nothing works. it seams to only error when it tries to load a catagory yml. this is latest config ive tried. as i said i have put emby under catagory in global moved plex and removed it yet if i remove plex i get some plex libraries error. when i add it i get this other plex error. i have completely stripped this config down so duno. i tried changing config for a good 6 hours tried movies as well. and like before i found 3 you linked or had on website they all had the same error. meta-1.log config - Copy.yml

I made myself an "audiobooks" icon, so I figured I'd also take care of @anthmclean's "concerts" request. See below for previews, the ZIP file has the entire collection up to this point. I'm doing my best to try to distribute the background colors -- theater curtains and book bindings give me "red" vibes, hopefully everyone's amicable to that. SimpleEmbyIcons.zip

Hi Luke, Are you asking about the one that many people have pointed out only works if you already know something is missing, or at least suspect it? That makes it pointless. I have been using it ever since we got this regression. It is incredibly annoying to start a marathon of a multi-season series, like House; both admin and regular users have given the same feedback; and then, a couple of seasons later, realize something looks off, and only then check the context menu. At this point, I feel like your response is coming from a bot, since it looks like the same response every time. I waited and tried to live with this bad user-experience “feature,” but I need to find an alternative. I am not asking for it back; we already lost that battle.

Absolutely! I’ve done the test as asked 480p 1mbs and it bugged a few seconds, came back and after again and freezes Here’s the log and my transcoding settings if needed. Can’t wait to get a solution Thanks for your help guys!! ffmpeg-transcode-96fc1814-2953-4169-96b1-4cec5c65fbc0_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-609b41f0-8937-452e-b980-0021e4a70b40_1.txt embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-4116ee59-1316-4348-b12d-3c0157491806_1.txt

Just wanted to add a quick note here for anyone looking at that thread, it's important to make sure the mount points are mounted BEFORE the emby service starts. You should be able to figure out how to do this in your distro by googling. Hard won knowledge. -HS
