Yes, I think Luke is probably referring to an internal build or a change that has been added but not released yet. I am also still getting the same result in the current Beta: Emby only shows “Spanish” and does not show “Spanish (Latin America)” yet. So I understand Luke’s message as confirmation that es-419 has now been added to Emby’s language mapping, and hopefully it should start working in the next Beta release or once that internal change becomes available. At least that sounds like good news, because it means Emby should eventually be able to recognize es-419 correctly as Spanish (Latin America).

Yes, I understand your point. Manually adding tags one by one could definitely be a lot of work in some libraries. However, in my case I use the Bulky Editor plugin, so applying tags to multiple items is actually quite easy. For example, if I have an anime series with several season posters where the icons overlap the title, I can select all affected seasons at once, open the bulk editor, and add, remove, or replace the tag for all selected items in one step. So for my workflow, a tag-based position override would not feel like too much manual work. It would be more like an optional tool for fixing specific problematic posters when needed. The global icon position would still handle most of the library, and the tag would only be used as a manual exception for selected movies, seasons, series, or collections. I understand it would still require extra development work on your side, but from a user perspective, combined with bulk editing, it could be a very practical solution.

Hello. I'm setting up a home media library for myself and my family. I've run into a couple of issues: => 1. Maybe it would make sense to add a language attribute to the “Title,” “Original Title,” and “Description” fields. Something like <title lang="en">Babylon-5. The Gathering</title> <title lang="ru">Вавилон-5: Сбор</title> <title lang="fr">Babylon 5. Le Rassemblement</title> <originaltitle lang="en">Babylon-5. The Gathering</originaltitle> I think this will make life a lot easier. If it’s easier for me to read a list of movies in Arabic or German, I can specify my preferred display languages in the user settings, and only display what’s available if the titles/descriptions aren’t available in those languages. => 2. Есть ли возможность блокировать обновление полей DbId? => 3. When searching external databases (such as TheMovieDb or AniDb), use the title from the “title” field, not “originaltitle.” 2026-06-17 02:00:43.790 Info HttpClient: GET https://private.omdbapi.com?apikey=‌fe53f97e‌&plot=full&r=json&y=2023&t=Три очарования&type=series If I add a movie or TV series that has no translations or has multiple translated titles, it’s quite difficult to find it in the databases. It turns out I have to leave the original title in the “Title” field. Then why is the “Original Title” field even necessary? And, after all, it’s pretty inconvenient to have a localized library full of English, Chinese, or Indian titles, especially when the viewer is an 8-year-old :))) Or should I add the movie, wait for all the metadata to update, and then localize it? What if it’s a TV series that’s still being filmed?

@sa2000Just did a refresh and it's there. Thanks for getting it sorted so quickly.

I'm talking about audio playback here. If I watch a video then the screen stays on. (not that I would, in the car)

@GrimReaperThank you very much for your help and the explanation, I obviously overlooked this note, sorry. Works great, all back in place. THX

Refresh bug? Refreshing Stream Source will cause all the streams to be refreshed compared to only the new content.

4.9.1.80 Release notes: As per above, it is already implemented, select "None" in "Multi-version item detection" dropdown under Automatic grouping section in your library edit.

@Lid Channel 306 should be available now. You may need to delete the httpclient cache or wait a few hours if it does not show after a guide refresh

This happens because the emby server is advertising it's local HTTP IP:port to clients, and clients seem to always favor this for local connections. Does this mean that we will finally be getting the option to fully customize the IP or domain that the emby server advertises to devices on the local network via the discovery service? If so that should allow admins to force HTTPS connections for local apps too. HTTP connections should only ever be needed for local DLNA devices that require it assuming everything is setup correctly. A large number of people use their domain internally with a local DNS server or hairpin NAT as well as mixed internal/external reverse proxies. It would be nice to not have to choose between forcing HTTPS connections by blocking ports on the server (assuming the OS & network environment even allows for it) & simpler local device setup via the built-in discovery service.

As I wrote: It's NOT a versions thing. Version option is existing for years, I decided against for good reasons - and had a well working library with NO versions, but different edits or sources of the same movie. Now: Emby decided (don't know since which version) to handle movies with the same ID as ONE movie, which was not mentioned or warned against. My library is a mess right now. I hope someone can help and tell me how I can go back to a previous server version, or a kind of switch for turning this "feature" on is "hopefully" implemented soon. Thx.

Luke - thanks for your reply. I had seen this folder - it tells me where the information is but not how to access it. As I said, I am not technical, and I don't want to get involved with hidden folders and SSH or similar. I cannot think of any other program/app. that I use that doesn't send password reset info. via email. When I first installed Emby I decided it came closer than any other media program to giving me what I want across music, photos and video but sadly it looks as tho' it is intended more for the technical person with a media interest rather than those, like me, whose main interest is media-led and who have limited technical knowledge. If you can supply guidance to help me get signed-on, I would like to continue using Emby but otherwise I guess I am stuck Roy

The new app also uses mpv.

In the released beta or an internal version? I get the same results as @AngelSingwhere it just shows Spanish.

A thought just occurred to me. Having a custom tag for videos with posters were the icons would be covering the text of the poster would require the user to manually add a tag to every video doing that. It would be A LOT of work on some libraries.

Are you sure you aren't referring to Emby Theater and not the new Windows app, I thought only Theater used MPV and the new Windows app didn't.

The two horizontal lines? Sure looks like a grab handle, but pressing it doesn't do anything.

No it isn't.

video = h264 10bit RF30, audio = stereo Opus, filesize =141MB, also fails in the same way.

An error occurred trying to download 'https://embydata.com/downloads/server/beta15/MediaBrowser.Server.Installer.application'.

That depends solely on your server's capability. You have likely hit Premiere devices limit, you can check your status on Settings>Emby Premiere tab. Is there a limit to Emby Premiere? Theoretically yes, if your server can handle it. Simultaneous playback devices and devices you see in Devices tab have no correlation with Premiere limits, with latter depending only on how many devices used Premiere features within a week, as per above link and: Emby Premiere Feature Matrix

Still does, you just need to click on the "info" icon on the right for that information

No, let's keep this. I'd like to know if it happens with Emby for Android 3.5.36+. If it does, then we'll go from there. Thanks

Creating a user with access to only Playlist (no way to turn that one off?) does seem to allow it to work almost 100% of the time -- but even then it still fails on occasion. There doesn't appear to be any single access that causes it to fail. But it appears that the more added, the more likely it is to fail. (I've mentioned this previously, but I do want to stress that everything works as intended via the browser, by the android emby app, and by the ios emby app. It's only Roku that has an issue). ** I don't believe it's related to the issue above, but one thing I noticed is that the "Collections" item can not be removed from a user's menu. It shows up no matter what -- with pictures of library items on the menu folder. Going into the Collections library, if the user has no access to anything else, doesn't show anything, but it is still a bit of an issue -- not a big deal if an empty Collections library shows up in the menu, but the fact that it shows pictures of items in your library (that the user doesn't have access) is a problem.

A box pops up saying it can't install and points me to the proper log
