@Lukelooks like there is a general issue do address. I just deleted another multi-version video and I see the same errors for the image files. Maybe it happens only for multi-version? IDK

This feature is not designed for a one-time message. It is designed as a banner to always be seen.

Hi. We already have that. The issue you are running into is there is no way for the system to know it is the same episode because, as you say, it is getting different episode numbers. So, how would you tell it to not record it again when it pops up with a different identification later?

Hi, there's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

You are trying to solve the exact same problem (no thumb). You just have a different way of solving it so just add that to this discussion. Thanks.

Thank you! The scroll bars are there now!. I have a question, how do I add local m3u lists? The playlist url field seems to only support URLs and not local windows paths.

Right now I can't just "Remove identification" from a person in Emby the way you can for TV, Movies, etc. For instance, actor/director Kevin Smith never played cornerback for the Cowboys in the 90s

@ginjaninja can you perform the exact same test again? Thank you

@seanbuffThank you so much, I sent Free an email after reading your message and they answered this morning, stating that it was an option to check in my customer account, on their website. Within 30 minutes it was possible again to access Emby using the WAN IP address. Appreciate the fast answer here, it ended a mystery and a frustration all at once. Have a nice day!

Hello - I'm not sure which DB the recording scheduler uses, but for my metadata I use TVDB which apparently assigns different episode#'s to shows like American Experience and Frontline, and so even though I already have a particular recording, the scheduler doesn't realize this since there's a mismatch in the episode#, and so I will cancel some re-airing of a program, but it keeps just coming up the next day at a different time over and over again. Could we add something like "I already have this episode" or "never record this episode", instead of "cancel recording" which only cancels that one airing?

I thought i would add it as a feature request as the option to do it within Emby isn’t there without a lot of manual administration. We should just be about to limit a user to one device per account. Does this option allow the user to purchase the application via the Emby app and then I allow access? I don’t see how this option works with devices being removed from my Emby premier list but thank you very much for the information.

Se here

First how is this a FR when its a question But this is what I do.

Hello, Please can anyone tell me if there is a way to limit a user to one device, I have friends who access my Emby server and some of them install it on every device they have reducing my limit. I can’t find any option on the server, there is limit streams but nothing about devices. Ideally I would like to assign an Amazon Fire Stick 4K MAX or a Smart TV to a user and that would be there free device, if they want it on anything else then they can purchase it directly through the Emby app for the device they are using. It Would be great if we can limit the device per users. The simultaneous streams don't prevent to user to login on another device and it is chewing up the devices limits on my Emby Premiere. Can anyone advise please. Thank you. Cheers, Chris

Thank you very much for the info

I've kept both updated on my Shield and playback for typical 4K remuxes appears to be the same with both for me. I think it pretty much comes down which one you prefer right now. To me it's nice to have both to compare things whenever I do have issues. Emby has said for a while now that their plan is to eventually discontinue the AndroidTV app, though ebr has been keeping it at least updated with new betas whenever there is a server change or major bug found.

I have a pair of Rokid XR AR glasses, they play videos just fine from every other app (Apple TV app, VLC app, Safari), and as of last February worked fine with Emby. I haven't used them for a few months, but when I tried to use them today, I get the audio, and I can see the controls on the screen. But the moment I plug them in the video goes black. Unplugging them does not make the video return, stopping the playback and restarting it without them plugged in makes the video work again. But either plugging them in while playing, or plugging them in before playing, the video playback is just black. I see the on screen controls fine, and the audio playback is fine. Since I see the on screen controls in the glasses, I know the video is working. The glasses are treated by iOS as an external video. They connect via USB-C. And as I said before, everything else displays fine on them, and Emby used to work on them as recently as February. This is the playback info from the server while the movie is playing: Emby for iOS 2.2.53 iPhone 10.0.0.110 http/1.1 Stream MP4 (787 kbps) Direct Play Video 480p HEVC Direct Play Audio English AAC 6 ch (Default) Direct Play The activity log just says: emby is playing <movie name redacted> on iPhone 6/20/26, 1:25 AM Server Info: Version 4.9.5.0 Emby Server is up to date Running on http port 8096 I'm fairly sure this is a bug in the Emby iOS app, since #1) it used to work. #2) all other apps still work #3) I see the Emby controls, and when it's not trying to play a movie, I see all the UI and everything. Also, when I play Emby from within Safari it works fine, it's just not as convenient.

I also recommend the 12.X plugin (beta version).

Two months or two years? XDDDDDD

For forced scans, emulating what can be achieved in the dashbaord, i end up using post to api within the items/X/refresh endpoint. Couldnt get this to work from native methods. private async Task CallRefreshEndpointAsync( IHttpClient httpClient, string baseUrl, long internalId, string roleLabel, string apiKey, MetadataRefreshMode mode, string stageLabel, CancellationToken token) { string url = string.Format( "{0}/Items/{1}/Refresh?Recursive=true&MetadataRefreshMode={2}&ImageRefreshMode={2}&ReplaceAllMetadata=false&ReplaceAllImages=false&api_key={3}", baseUrl.TrimEnd('/'), internalId, mode, Uri.EscapeDataString(apiKey)); this.logger.Info( "[{0}] POST /Items/{1}/Refresh — target=({2}) InternalId={1} Mode={3}", stageLabel, internalId, roleLabel, mode); var options = new HttpRequestOptions { Url = url, CancellationToken = token, TimeoutMs = 15000, LogErrors = true, }; using (var response = await httpClient.Post(options).ConfigureAwait(false)) { this.logger.Info( "[{0}] POST /Items/{1}/Refresh ({2}) returned (2xx implied)", stageLabel, internalId, roleLabel); } } For disk moves Ai gave me this pattern. Its not tested to destruction but its going the job of persisting a movie id on path change ctx.Movie.Path = ctx.MovieNewVideoPath; ctx.Movie.ParentId = ctx.DestinationFolder.InternalId; this.itemRepository.SaveItem(ctx.Movie, token); LogItemState("Pipeline/Advanced - tag+path+ParentId SaveItem (persisted directly)", "Movie", ctx.Movie); this.libraryManager.UpdateItem(ctx.Movie, ctx.DestinationFolder, ItemUpdateType.MetadataEdit, null); LogItemState("Pipeline/Advanced - UpdateItem (cache/event refresh)", "Movie", ctx.Movie);

Hallo, habe den Fehler auch. In der Übersicht sind ARD und ZDF noch da, im Ordner "/var/lib/emby/plugins/" gibt's die nicht mehr!? was tun? Danke

Just made this in time for me to leave for the next summer event. New beta up in the catalog (v2.6.4.0) Added ability for the plugin to read and import metadata time chapters from MKV files. If a credit (or some close variant) is detected it will be converted and imported into Emby as CreditStart. The setting can be found in the Performance section.

Thanks guys. I have taken the risk and installed the latest Emby for my old SONY TV, and it turns out ok, so the latest emby app works on my SONY TV now. After installing the latest app, it suggests to use the standard android version, so I also installed the standard Android one, it works a bit slower than the TV one. Apart from that, it seems all good. Just out of curiosity, apart from response time, which one is better for viewing HEVC 4K HDR10+ movies? the Android TV version or Android arm7 version? Thanks

Ah, I get you - I've obviously misread the request. Thanks.
