Thanks @Luke Of course, no ned to separate, but it would be good to know if it's movie or show or self e.t.c. .

Can’t edit post above but it’s suppose to say: This way as well means that there’s only 1 library and 1 entry of the movie. In plex I had to have separate remux libraries, which got messy, so this way, the user doesn’t even know that there are versions unless they have the correct hardware but can choose an edition if they fancy it - makes it much simpler. having 1 complete movie library, controllable by folder, was a primary reason to move to emby, as it simplified the presentation for users. All they see is a movie section but for more technically savvy users and with the correct hardware, they get access to additional options.

@yockerDo you know why I have nearly 17,000 skipped episodes? I don't have the log file yet, should I enable OCR? @sydlexiusthank you

am already using it thanx man

I too split movies by version and edition and would ultimately like to choose the combination. My setup is: Possible versions: 4K full disc, 1080p, and some old legacy 720p for mobile If it’s a good movie with decent sound I will remux it in a separate 4K remux folder but mainly my discs get stripped to something more resembling web-dl/1080p with lossy sound. By putting the remux in a separate folder but linked to the same library I can limit who sees them as it needs an Nvidia shield and decent internet to play properly, so at my brothers house he has this and I enable it but my parents use tv app, so they just see the standard 1080p folder. Possible editions: director, theatrical etc. So, 2 dropdowns would be most elegant, which are contextually aware of each other, so it will only populate the files available. 1) Pick edition first and then 2) it displays available versions associated with that version. If there’s only one edition and multiple versions it just unlocks the dropdown for versions and if there’s multiple versions, it will keep locked or unlock versions dropdown accordingly - simples

Hi there, I provided the log output above. Isn't that a specific example?

I think you may have the wrong thread. There was never any mention of sites or supply of content by Emby here

For now you may want to disable hardware transcoding in server transcoding settings.

OK we'll have a new ffmpeg build on the server beta channel soon so it's possible that may help with this.

Hi, Luke, When you found a extra content for a serie with hundred of extra, can't easy find the correct number extra ID for emby match and put correct title. I show the dr Who issue, if found one of especials chapters, can't know how is the 0x??? number to take the correct position. Same with other series: In the case of *One Piece*, which has thousands of additional episodes, when I come across a movie segment included as an extra, I don't know the correct number (0x??). Is it possible to find this out without using the API? (I know that connecting to the API can reveal missing episodes, including that ID.)

Still don't know how to delete It should be possible to delete from here.....

Authenticated Users is not something you can change and you can’t exclude your Emby user from it. I mean you can remove it from the root of drives, but then you break things. Does everyone else not have that it then?

Maybe it might be useful to somebody else if you don't have anything positive to write or are you just bored with life?

The sites you metnioned pay licensing fees. Audio themes are content and require copyright policing, per track. Any music or performance might have playback limits or even be completely blocked and can not be offered. A company that violates this, does so at their own risk. Emby does not supply any content at all. That is up to the user. Any use, outside of personal playback, requires license payemts. Any company supplying any audio conent needs licensing and payments per item use. Your examples are paying for this and it might well be into 6 figures of dollars every year. It's wrong to assume that there are no restrictions and that everything is free. See: https://www.universalproductionmusic.com/en-us/news/how-to-use-music-in-videos-legally

@kbeck I'm with you 100% on this: Tags must never go away. Would be really great is Tags could be used in some kind of structure The Inability to rename a tag is a hardship Bulky Editor in the Dashboard. It's not the most user friendly I've been doing a lot of experimenting lately with Collections and Tags across different library types (because Collections are global) to get two-level nested Collections, in a different structure to main media libraries. E.g. put Primary images into a Photo type library and then add them to relevant media collections (any library type). Depending upon what you are trying to achieve, it potentially opens up a whole lot of interesting possibilites... Genres+Sub-Genres is one idea I haven't gotten to just yet. But plan to when I get time. This seems to be a reasonably popular request. Yeah, thanks for the Bulky Editor tip. I tried it a couple of times quite a while back, but could never seem to get it work for music. Thanks to @GrimReaper earlier this year, I now have a very nice utililty to use for music Album tagging with Emby Tags - but it wouldn't be any good for your Movies/TV etc. Maybe Emby will look at bulk-editing after home screen and smart playlists etc. is fully implemented???

Hi @gregsnell Even if I really agree with the first part of your sentence (separate Version and Edition), I don't agree at all for the second part (masking the Version to the EndUser). In my Llibrary I have several versions of the same movie. Let me explain, and consider the following versions (not editions, which can add items to selection) - the 1080p BluRay version with all languages and an average bitrate at around 50Mbps - the 1080p vp9 version with only French language (I'm French) at an average bitrate of 2Mbps - the 4k x265 Bluray version with several languages - the 1080p h264 version with only French at an average bitrate of 10Mbps If i play on my phone at home, which versioin will your option select ? IMHO, on my phone the 1080p vp9 at 2Mbps version is enough. On my TV which is 4k compatible, I'm pleased to play the 4k version On my home cinema (with a FireTV stick), the 1080p version is OK, but If I launch the BluRay version, playing is not correct even if tagged as supported. And when I'm outside home, I only (unless rare occasions) play the vp9 2Mbps version. No need to play the 1080p h264 version even if my connection supports it. To me, the best option is to create a priority index for the version you want to play tied to resolution/bitrate/codec with a weight to each version. By default the version offered is the version with the larger weight or the less weight, but, the final user must have the control on his choice. Here's an example of a movie with multiple versions and multiple editions. Why do I have such a number of versions ? the bitrate of the client connections, the fact I don't want my server to transcode, and the fact that I recode all my audio tracks to have an EBU-R, ut I want to keep the oroiginal tracks, the fact that the Emby web player does direct play only with the first audio track, the fact that since the "fusionned" version (android - FireTV) of Emby app the FireTV doesn't play anymore he-AAC5.1... an exemple of audio tracks used : My dream : In the admin interface, I can set a priority for each version depending if the client is inside or outside the LAN eg - inside the LAN the h264 could be the first choice - outside it could be the vp9 version But the client can choose to change this setting, unless the admin doesn't enforce this. it cloud be a tag in the naming convention such as [v=vp9 web] and for the edition it could be [ed=Director's Cut]. I agree the filenames could be very large such as : - the folder : "Seul sur Mars - (2015) - [tmdbid=286217]" - the file : "Seul sur Mars - (2015) - [tmdbid=286217] [ed=extended] [v=h264 30M].mkv Sorry for the novel !

Hi there, what exactly happens when you try? How to Report a Problem

@SamES

Hi, there’s no evidence it switched, in fact, we don’t even have a switching mechanism for audio like we do for video. However with this update I think we did stop direct playing opus due to all the problems reported with it. @SamES can confirm.

Just an update - backup emby server re-installed as new, reset all settings the same, no plugins, libraries being read now - likely tomorrow I can get the restore from prod happening for the users/watch states, I need to verify that process before I kill the prod system.

Hello magickii, ** This is an auto reply ** Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you. It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread: Thank you. Emby Team

After updating to Emby for LG 1.0.51, I started noticing that Opus audio files are always transcoded, even on a local connection, but the transcoding starts the stream offset about ~30s into each track. So far I have only observed this issue on Emby for LG 1.0.51, all other local clients are able to Direct Play. I'm aware that LG and Opus have inconsistent support across models. I cannot confirm if Emby for LG was able to Direct Play these Opus files prior to the app upgrade, but hopefully if it were I would have noticed issues with playback sooner. The LG TV is an OLED C4 on webOS24 (9.2.2-1806) I did not immediately see anything in the embyserver.txt log that might indicate an issue, but one of the tracks that had issue started at 2026-09-25 19:03:12.978 and I have attached that track's ffmpeg-transcode log as well. On the server side, I have observed this behavior first on 4.9.5.0, and it has continued after upgrade to 4.10.0.40 embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-69497d66-a0cd-4731-9262-96366405f79b_1.txt
