It queues up refreshes in the background that you currently can't monitor. it is the same thing as refreshing multiple movies in bulk.

HI, yes that would be helpful. Thanks.

No it does not. I have waited over 1hour and way past when the the round % icon disappeared ( it was doing 2-3 passes )

Yes it will, but can take a long time, and since you can't monitor the progress in the user interface yet, this can lead you into thinking that it's not working.

HI there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

Hi, the app should run just fine, but whether or not it's been fully translated by users I'm not sure.

Hi everyone, I am planning to bring an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (8GB, Wi-Fi 6) from Northern Ireland (UK) to Lviv, Ukraine, to give to a friend who lives there. I want to pre-configure the entire setup here in the UK so it is completely plug-and-play when I arrive. My setup will involve connecting this remote Fire Stick back to my home Emby Server hosted in Northern Ireland. My Current Server & Network Setup: Client Device: Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (8GB, Wi-Fi 6) running the latest Emby for Fire OS app. Connection Method: Emby Connect (linked to the user's account). Server OS: Windows 11. Home Bandwidth: Approximately 93 Mbps upload speed. I would appreciate some clarity on the following three points before I travel: Pre-Configuration & Remote Roaming: Can I log into the Emby client app on the Fire Stick here in the UK using the specific Emby Connect account I created for my friend in Ukraine, and then travel with the device? Once it connects to their local Wi-Fi network in Ukraine, will Emby Connect automatically resolve the new connection back to my Windows 11 server without requiring a re-login, a new PIN link, or manual IP configuration? Geoblocking & Network Restrictions: Are there any known regional restrictions, ISP blocks, or Emby Premiere verification issues when a UK-based server streams to an Emby client operating on a Ukrainian IP address? Client-Side Language Localization: Does the Emby client app for Fire OS fully support the Ukrainian language interface? If I set the Fire Stick system language to Ukrainian, will Emby mirror this automatically, or should I change the display language manually within the Emby app settings before handing it over? Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes, as stated, I extracted the 4 SRT files and all 4 had text + proper time codes. If you like, I can reduce the size of the file (its over 30gb) to only have about 1 minute of video or so, and Ill adjust the time code for it to work

Ill look into the sample,. thanks for the links. That might be the best way to go. I always recommend people just buy a nvidia shield

Perhaps the OP means that even when there are no Composer tags, Emby still shows Composer in the menu tab header and the Composer page view is still accessible, but empty??? I made a test music library with only one song to confirm this: It seems that both Composers (and Genres) remain in the menu, even if there no tags, but Artists (and Playlists and Tags) do not. Testing further, Album Artists remains, with no tag, and Albums does not, but then an empty Genres also disappears: I didn't test any further possible combinations. So, there does seem to be some inconsistency, but it seems an uncommon edge-case, because I don't think too many people would be removing metadata to show less menu tabs??? I'm happy to stand corrected if this is not what the OP means... When Custom Menu Tabs is implemented (I think Emby has confirmed this) then the above use-case will likely not be an issue???

I finally managed to cobble together a system that would generate .strm files from my provider's M3U files. For the movie part, I had been using Web Streams plugin, but all of a sudden I noticed this happening. If I click on "edit filter", I get that "error" popup. Anyone else using Web Streams run into this before? Thank you!

I have a scheduled task entitled "Detect Episode Intros".. It seems to be running without any problems, except that it doesn't work. I don't recall ever seeing a "skip intro" button, but I'd really like it if I could. I don't have the first clue of how to troubleshoot this. 95% of the TV shows I am watching are from links within strm files. Is there something I'm missing that must also be done to get this to work? Any others running Emby server on Mac OS been able to do this successfully? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This was last fall so the weather was fantastic! Right now in SoCal USA it's been north of 100F/38C for two weeks straight.

There is one more thing thing I have to mention. Selecting Refresh Metadata on the whole library does not fix the photos, I have to press it on each movie/tv show, and that not always works in 100%

I have RTM enabled so I'll shut down the server first. Hadn't thought of that but I'm thinking this scan will take some time no matter what..

Yes, I am currently running 4.10.0.23 beta. Please elaborate how it would be possible. Certainly possible I am overlooking something!

The best way is to ask your family and friends what their hardware is, especially their TV. AFAIK Emby just asks the player if it itself can stream the content and is unable to poll what TV or other hardware the device is plugged into (not all home theatre receivers or sound bars can pass through DV). If you can't do that, make a test library, and have them go through that and check to see if the files direct play or not. There are plenty of Creative Commons DV test files on the internet for you to use. Here is a link to the official Dolby MP4 files And of course there are a large selection of samples on the Kodi page as well. Profile 5 is pretty much strictly for streaming (and is single layer with zero fallback), and more than likely if their TV supports DV and has the logo on the box, it will support profile 5. So if they have a Samsung TV (the creator of HDR10+), they absolutely can not play DV. Yes this is a PITA, but you must do your due diligence when it comes to proprietary codecs and users who are dumber than stumps and say "IT SHOULD JUST WORK!". It's for this very reason any family member who had an Apple TV was removed from my server until they got an Android device, because of how horrible the experience is with crApple. In the end, the work will pay off, and you as a server admin will be far happier, and your users, they will either understand, or they won't be on your server anymore.

Glad you got the chance to visit those places, hope you survived the heat wave we've been having last few weeks.

Mackie was in both movies Avengers and Avengers: AoU. I had to fix him twice. I added A:Aou after I fixed Avengers.

If you run the scan metadata folder scheduled task (which will take a long time), then that will help scrub the bad paths out of your database. That won't pull in new images but will remove one step from the process of cleaning them up.

Because you had a path saved in your database for that person already. The server isn't' going to go and check on every single library scan if those paths are still valid or not. Would you like your library scans to be slow or fast?

No I'm not. If you add a new movie and none of the people are already in your database, then they won't have paths pointing to your old windows install and there shouldn't be problem.

So you are saying I have to manually refresh the metadata for every movie I add and there is no permanent solution to fix that? I still don't understand why the person isn't fixed once I scan it once.

It will work but it has to be after you've already seen the broken image. Additionally it does some existing lookups that we can't do as part of the library scan because there's too many. It has to be one at a time, so it's not until clicking on the person. But in most cases the refresh metadata of the movie or show will do it.
