Please let us know which steps succeed and which ones do not, and then we'll take it from there. Thanks.

Respectfully, since 2.0.7 the Auto setting appears to have failed me regularly, and frequently. The very same file that I played under 2.0.6 without any Audio sync/loss issues, has repeatedly and randomly lost audio playback while continuing to keep video and subtitles in sync. It's not any one movie but happened across most of my library. Only on the Apple TV Client. The very same movies play back flawlessly in Plex, Infuse, and off the Emby Web Client, Mac Client, and Android Clients. When I did my stress test a little while ago (Player set to MVP), not a single client showed the audio loss. I have even played these files back through iTunes sharing without issue. I am happy to help and provide any details info I can. I already submitted logs in the Apple TV 2.0.7 thread, but haven't heard anything back.

Hi, yes the user tdriver at one point wrote a guide:

I would leave it on auto. We've put a lot of work into choosing the best player depending on the situation.

It's delayed by 600ms. So one second after that means it took 1.6 seconds to connect. That is long enough that if you don't put up some kind of feedback it will have users mashing and clicking things a second time.

folder sync to the rescue.

THANK YOU!!!! I'll set to MPV, unless I find something (Either DB Vision or HDR) that annoys me to the point I change it for that session! One of the best explanations and responses I've seen in a while. KUDOs! I have no MKV, I make it a habit to re-encode any MKV to a lower resolution H.265 (HEVC). I keep my server and content optimized for remote playback. I've found video upscaling on modern hardware devices more than makes up for it. I have a Laser 4K Projector that plays 720P beautifully, and I've never heard a complaint on resolution or color. I did a stress test after your response on a bunch of 4K content to 5 AppleTVs (simultaneously ) with the player set to MPV, all showed direct play on the Dashboard. No issues.... Happy!

There should be an ffmpeg log that goes with that playback. Can you provide that? Don't know why you aren't hearing audio. Its being converted to DD+ which your system reports support for and I see no errors.

@LukeOk thanks, I will keep that in mind

Any progress on this one?

Mine neither, which is why I think it shouldn't even pop up for several seconds after which it determines the connection is slow. Even a 5 second delay would mean I would never see it.

Im hoping for Smart playlists that are live lists (live updating)

In practice the choice matters less for what plays natively and more for what doesn't. Native player – Goes through AVFoundation, so decoding is done by the Apple TV hardware and it's the only path that can output HEVC HDR/Dolby Vision properly. The weak point is the streaming/buffering side: with high-bitrate content it's not very efficient and it's fairly easy to run into buffering, even on direct play. It's also limited to containers and protocols AVFoundation understands. MKV isn't one of them, and since Emby doesn't currently support HLS with fMP4 segments, MKV content can't simply be remuxed into something the native player accepts — it ends up being transcoded instead. That's why in practice pretty much all HEVC HDR content gets transcoded. MPV player – Handles almost any container, so it avoids the container-driven transcodes and generally holds a stream better. The trade-off is HDR: MPV tone-maps the picture itself rather than passing HEVC HDR through to the Apple TV's own decode/display pipeline, so you don't get true HDR output. Auto – Emby decides per item: it uses the native player when the stream is something AVFoundation can direct play, and falls back to MPV when it isn't. So "Auto" doesn't mean "always native" even if all your content is H.264/H.265 — the container and the HDR metadata matter as much as the codec. To be fair, the MPV implementation on Apple TV has improved a lot over the last releases. But Dolby Vision is still problematic, as you can see from various threads on this forum. Since DV is a proprietary format, the only real solution there is to let the native player handle it — which brings us back to the same thing: support for HLS with fMP4 and remuxing, so the Apple TV could play HEVC HDR and DV natively without transcoding. That's not possible today

Well it's basically a flash on any device. It took me many many times on one of my phones just to figure out what it even said on the popup. But it's still annoying as fuck, even a 1 second flash of some sort of popup ain't good. I've never seen anything like that ever.

Dread, Perhaps you already are aware that Emby will work just fine and securely, using an IP address and you would not need to get a SSL setup. Any users needing remote access would just use the IP remote address with their user name and password, instead of a domain name address. You could run Emby for as long as you like, using the IP address for remote access. Hope that helps.

Hi. For us to "include" SSL setup, we'd have to take control of your connection to your own server and then we'd own your SSL connection, not you. We are focused on allowing you to truly control your own server and connection to it and that does require a bit more knowledge and setup than just letting someone else do it. We have guides and many folks out here who would gladly help you through that process if you want to take it on in the future.

In the upcoming days I will likely release another version of EmbyVision Credits. Changes include: New UI improvements. Some Compatibility updates. No detection fixes required. EmbyVision Credits is fully functional, and It is all caught up on my credit detections. I have a schedule set to run it daily, on average it takes a minute or two to catch up and credits are preserved though library scans and they will persist even if by a small chance Emby needed to be reinstalled. So progress is never lost. This is the new UI for upcoming v1.0.0.3 release. as time permits I will work on it and package it up when ready! v1.0.0.3 EmbyVision Credits.mp4

I normally set it to Auto, but would think Native would be more efficient (all my content is either H.264 or H.265 which are all native). What advantages/disadvantages the MVP player have vs the Native player, and how does the Auto setting work?

Yeah, I can see that. Personally, I always separate my movie and TV content in separate rows.

Hi. If you mean you want this to be another special, you can just put it in a "specials" folder.

Hi All, I have recently bought the UGREEN DXP6800 Pro and I’m having issues getting Emby working. I’m installing this image in docker https://hub.docker.com/r/emby/embyserver I’m clearly doing something wrong as my Synology build is rock solid and this is all over the place. Do we have a docker install guide for the UGREEN until the native application is released? It doesn’t matter what method i use i still get issues with the server not creating LibraryMonitor for my media libraries even though Emby has RW permissions. Cheers, Chris embyserver.txt

But then you'd have a combo of thumbs (basically episode screengrabs, which I know some users would prefer but I'd find it abhorrent in CW row) and posters (movies) - never a good combo IMHO, I'm sucker for consistency. I like having series thumb in CW row, as it gives proper distinction and certain flair. I just wanted episode overlays on those. Now I have them and it looks great.
