@yockerhave now tested a watch party and all seems to be good apart from one thing. The search to select a movie or tv show does not seem to be working, only way to find a movie is via the drop down and that does not work well at all when you have 12,000 movies lol

Since I made so many changes to Watchparty, I decided to do a minor version bump to 1.5.0, since those weren't smaller patches anymore. docker pull ghcr.io/oratorian/emby-watchparty:latest Ready to run, folks.

I’d like to echo this feature request, as it addresses an important gap in Live TV recording. The core functionality for manual timers and reconnect/re-record already works, but without programid support in the REST API, those reconnects and re-records can’t operate fully seamlessly. In addition, there currently isn’t a way to configure timeout behavior or define maximum reconnect attempts, which limits reliability in real-world scenarios. If the REST API could support programid for manual timers and allow configuration of timeout handling and reconnect limits, this would make the feature far more robust and predictable for everyone. Examples of existing approaches can certainly be shared if helpful—the goal is simply to make this work cleanly and natively within Emby for all users.

@yockerI worked it out mate, downloaded and installed the latest and once again it wasn't working, checked everywhere to make sure ports were clear and when I opened up the firewall advanced settings, the netsh command pushed through powershell (yes it was in admin) the rules were not there, so I manually created the inbound rule and she all came good. Now I can actually test some watch parties lol FYI This is on Win Server 2019 if anyone else comes across the same problem.

And, on this movie, why the audio codec icon, which should show DTS-HD or DTS, did't show on the poster?

Another movie, which resolution is 1920*1040, it also show 720p. It seems that the plugin recognize all the movie which heighth is less than 1080 as 720p.

No, I have just one version.

Looks like you have two versions of that movie, the plugin most likely shows the icon for the other one. The plugin only shows what Emby says in the title so if there are two versions of the movie it will just take the first it sees. I can look into adding multi version support.

I am 100% the opposite. I want everyone. Main cast, guess stars, and even the uncredited person playing bar person number 10. I want them all.

Try this version. In the listen address enter "0.0.0.0,localhost" without the quotes. In powershell with admin right enter: netsh http add urlacl url=http://*:8097/ user="Everyone" netsh http add urlacl url=http://localhost:8097/ user="Everyone" This will allow you to enter the website both from the internet if you have the port open in your router and via localhost. With those settings it works for me without problems. In case you need to delete those settings again use: netsh http delete urlacl url=http://*:8097/ netsh http delete urlacl url=http://localhost:8097/ WatchPartyForEmby.dll

This is correct. At the same time a query is sent to every provider you have enabled and cached in the cache folder so it shouldn't be that hard to merge said info but to my this would have to be optional as each provider does their own thing. Now OMDB would be an issue as it is just NAME with no Roles. Just like TMDB lists everyone everywhere and I would never want that per episode.

Thanks again for the suggestion. Just to confirm, this was indeed the fix and the expected outcome is now working.

I would love to remove these icons as well

Tried putting the machines address in there, then tried the remote address as well as the default 0.0.0.0, still no-go mate

Ja, this example is not so good. But I think it still shoul be thought as 1080p, although its width is less than 1920, and heighth is less than 1080. and emby also recognize it as 1080p. there is another example which is more typical.

I don't think this will do anything in particular to fix it but make sure lspci is installed.

I’m at a loss guys. Opening a port solved the issue for a week and a half. I made no changes to any settings after. Worked flawlessly for that time period. All of a sudden it stopped again. As mentioned, nothing changed. I find it odd that I had to open a port at all because remote viewing worked for a few years with no issue prior, and now I’m back in the same boat with it not working anymore even with the port open. open to any suggestions and curious if anyone else has had a similar issue in the past or recently.

Thank you. I have disabled the automatic grouping - does it retroactively take effect on media already processed or only on new media auto organized? I ask because the cited issue still persists after making this changes and scanning the library. Disregard - checking now as I just read the notification banner: "Changes to metadata or artwork downloading settings will only apply to new content added to your library. To apply the changes to existing titles, you'll need to refresh their metadata manually."

Try this.

+1 to this one Same case with me. I prefer original audio but in case of Anime I like Japanese. Often when double audio is available the English is first. +1 to setting preferred audio language per library so I can set Japanese on anime lib.

@yockerno love mate, it works perfectly fine on the local machine using localhost:8097, I cannot access it on LAN via a 192.***.*.*** address nor can I access it remotely. netsh has definitely been done, if I run the command again it tells me it can't as it already exists, made a port forward rule for it in the modem as well but it's completely unreachable outside the local machine. also just to confirm I am on v1.4.3.0 of your plug-in.

Just added some new music to my Emby server for the first time in a while; and it seems that Emby is incorrectly formatting the MB query string. It is duplicating the MBIDs when formatting the query URL. This is the same for all query types: artists, releases, etc. Latest MusicBrainz plugin (1.0.0.27 or something) on Emby 4.9.3.0. In the first case you can see the MB artist ID should be: ba0d6274-db14-4ef5-b28d-657ebde1a396 but it is duplicated in the query string. Let me know if you need any more debug. ``` 2026-03-01 19:00:03.424 Info HttpClient: GET https://musicbrainz.emby.tv/ws/2/artist/ba0d6274-db14-4ef5-b28d-657ebde1a396ba0d6274-db14-4ef5-b28d-657ebde1a396?inc=url-rels 2026-03-01 19:00:03.604 Info HttpClient: Http response 400 from https://musicbrainz.emby.tv/ws/2/artist/ba0d6274-db14-4ef5-b28d-657ebde1a396ba0d6274-db14-4ef5-b28d-657ebde1a396?inc=url-rels after 180ms 2026-03-01 19:00:03.605 Error App: Error in MusicBrainz *** Error Report *** Version: 4.9.3.0 2026-03-01 19:00:03.859 Info HttpClient: GET https://musicbrainz.emby.tv/ws/2/release/16e1fb14-b248-4a58-ab5e-050c0a9f044416e1fb14-b248-4a58-ab5e-050c0a9f0444?inc=url-rels 2026-03-01 19:00:04.028 Info HttpClient: Http response 400 from https://musicbrainz.emby.tv/ws/2/release/16e1fb14-b248-4a58-ab5e-050c0a9f044416e1fb14-b248-4a58-ab5e-050c0a9f0444?inc=url-rels after 169ms 2026-03-01 19:00:04.029 Error App: Error in MusicBrainz *** Error Report *** Version: 4.9.3.0 ```

I'll also leave a . as I'm also interested in auto-gain / normalization. Especially useful when using speakers or casting to an audio set so I don't have to change the volume for some songs when working hehe.

@johyphenel Try this version. WatchingEye.dll
