All Activity

HI, in all likelihood it was not stuck but rather just taking a long time. The process has to not only scan in the new files, but also clean out the old entry. Glad to hear you are back up and running. Thanks.

I hope you got some substantial savings, because it's gonna be working in the next (or 2nd next) update.

Hi, that would be 2.3.6, and it looks like it's now been launched for most models.

@GigliolaHi there, are you trying to connect to your own Emby Server, or someone else's server?

Here's a log from Kodi after trying to play a file with a subrip subtitle and transcoding: https://paste.kodi.tv/ifixukifiz File structure Emby UI subtitles options File I'm trying to play, showd in the Emby web app Screenshot of the error Thanks

No ouedo conectrame

yes it does. all subtitle options are showing up, but when selecting subrip subs, it "hangs" for like 30 seconds and then says playback failed.

Trakt Air Dates 6.0.0.0 Major update coming soon.

Good question, the plugin reads it automatically. Emby stores each item's runtime (RunTimeTicks), and the plugin sends it as duration_ms on every lookup. For STRM files Emby can't probe the actual file, but it usually still has a runtime from the metadata providers (TMDB/TVDB), so the plugin uses that the same way. There's also a tolerance of about 2 minutes on matching, so small differences between the metadata runtime and the real stream don't cause a mismatch. This could cause issues for extended cuts, but if you’re using strm files, it’s likely you’re using the theatrical cut anyway.

There cannot possibly be any acceptable reason of any kind for breaking a feature like this and not fixing it at this point.

I’ve successfully fixed the port issue with my Trakt Air date plugin.

Ok - was on the road again for the last week, just got back - happening again. Repro'd the issue: browsed the menu, played a title, didn't work. Restarted the TV and emby server, restarted emby for android tv, browsed to the title, tried to play it. Black screen. No remote buttons responded other than Home. Went back into Emby, found the Send Logs option, and sent them just now (around 8:30pm EDT on 08/14/26). Hopefully it collects logs across app starts? Also that article asks for the name of the title "The Invite" and user "daddy"

I'll send you my bank account number..

Or you can get Emby to download subtitles that someone has already done the work on. Paul

Do you not have a firewall in your own equipment? Paul

not sure, there might be a way to set up a hot key that calls an add-on action and then you just need a way of sending that key press (remote or keyboard) to your device to trigger the show emby user dialog from the embycon add-on.

Or could we pay extra through Emby for add free access as an optional premiere feature?

Can the windows app add a users YouTube credentials so when a trailer is called it parses them?

I know man - I hear you but been using EMBY for a very long time & already new this, sorry if i was flippant, its for a family of Ukrainians I have been helping out & I have spent all day since 10am working to get an old ps3 & Wii up & running for them and my patience is completely gone, this on a firestick was also something else i wanted to give them but don't matter as GrimReaper sorted it with removing the trailers altogether with unchecking intros - there collection of movies & tv shows got rather small when I filtered just the ones with Ukrainian subs but still plenty just did not want to tease with movies they cant really watch, they are young girls aged 5 & 6 , anyways with this - the ps3 & wii considering they have never even played or heard of a game console there minds should be considerable blown, I would imagine they wont even stick on emby , anyways my mind is completely melted because of it all & may have come across in my message - sorry

Went to request this feature and saw there was already this thread. Could we have the option to select a certain theme based on night/day mode on devices? For example, iPhone and android apps could switch automatically between the black theme, and Apple TV theme based on what the phone is switched to.

Perfect, thanks a lot for testing!

seems fine now

For anyone still looking for a solution to this, SUPtoSRT.com can handle the PGS/SUP → SRT conversion directly in the browser. The workflow is: PGS subtitle → extracted .sup file → OCR → editable SRT Upload the .sup file containing the PGS subtitle track, select the subtitle language, run the conversion, review the recognized text, and download the SRT. https://suptosrt.com/ If the PGS subtitle is still embedded inside an MKV, you first need to extract the subtitle track as a .sup file using MKVToolNix or FFmpeg. After that, the SUP file can be converted to SRT with the tool. This can be useful with Emby when PGS subtitles cause transcoding on certain devices and you would rather use a text-based SRT subtitle. Since PGS is image-based, the conversion uses OCR, so it is still worth reviewing the resulting text for recognition errors.

I wasn't clear. That was just an example. If you have a lot of trailer copies in every media / trailers subdirectory, then the user choice of media gets trailers that are similar. For your user who has whatever foreign preference might then get trailers that match their preferences. I know that is not what you asked to do, but I just wanted to mention that having a lot of actually trailers results in more targeted trailer choices. It's not an answer of how to turn trailers off, per user. You are also asking about a language trailer preference, which is a different issue. If you don't like my answer above, just ignore it.

One reason I can imagine might be the fact that Google doesn't have anything available for recognizing and tracking you when running inside the app. The Windows app is running the UI from file:// urls, which means that there are no remote http requests to (google) servers which set cookies (or rather some smarter replacements) by which Google can recognize you and determine how many ads you have been shown already. When the can't determine that, they might assume you are trying to trick them in some way and showing you more ads therefore. When you thnk about from a different angle, it makes even more sense: Even though the client is loading content from remote servers, it never navigates to any website, it only hangs around in the realm of the local file scheme and none of their usual identification tricks are working - they're flying blind more or less, which is pretty unusual. In this regard, we probably shouldn't wonder when they are showing different behavior. What I'm alluding to, implies the overarching concept that they are tracking you and doing some bookkeeping with regards to the total amount of ads shown to you within a certain timespan, making sure that it remains slightly below of becoming a major annoyance. If you don't let them do this, they are penalizing it as you could also be trying to intentionally trick them. The above is just a theory, but that's exactly the kind of things they are doing. Each time when they're adding new browser features to "protect your privacy", it just means that they are killing off competitors after they have already switched to a newer and better method for tracking you, which the others haven't figured out yet.
