I've been wanting to group Artist Albums into sub-categories for quite a while. So this is related to the detail Album pages which, in primary view, show one group of albums in a grid (e.g.) So rather than one whole block of Albums, there woud be two possible new groups, split into sections: Release Type (Studio Albums, Live Albums, etc.) Decades (1950s, 1960s, etc.) Release Type has been asked for by myself and others in various topics. E.g. group albums into Studio Albums, Live Albums, Compilations, Singles & EPs (or whatever main categories you want). There is an embedded metadata field for this, but I was thinking just to use Emby Tags on Albums because album-only tags cannot be imported. It may take me 6+ months to tag all of my albums like this in Emby, but waiting for a Feature Request to possibly eventuate could take a lot longer! Decades could possibly be determined by the Year tag, but decade album tags could be used if Years didn't work. Decade groupings, etc has also been asked for elsewhere, across all media, but I don't think anyone has yet discussed both Release Type AND Decades together as alternative Album groupings. If Emby were to implement this, then ideally, to match the current UI and how Collections can group now, there would be a Group By button in the menu and you would be able to select: None (default) Release Type Decade Anyway, that's the basic idea. Beyond that, I've recently re-purposed the row under the Artist name on the Artist pages: The Community Rating star field now shows Albums count and links to the Albums page (usinig a workaround + JavaScipt) The Tracks count now links to the Songs page (using Javascript) Discography (in the Genre field) now links to the Albums page (using JavaScript) Timeline (in the Genre field) now links to the Albums page (using JavaScipt) That's about the limit of my progress (and knowledge) so far. The next step would be to somehow achieve: Albums links to standard Album page grouped by None (but perhaps with an "All Albums" heading) Discography links to Album page grouped by Release Type (with relevant headings) Timeline links to Album page grouped by Decade (with relevant headings) I have no idea yet whether or not this is even possible, I only just thought of this linking and grouping possibility because your script worked for spliitng the "Included In" row! Hopefully that explains the idea well enough? Perhaps you would know what may be technically feasible or not? Or other ways to potentially achieve the same end result? Let me know if you want any more info... and, as before, help is not expected, but always appreciated!

I'll take a look at the Mal/Anilist issue later. For the plugin, it's a dll that needs to go in your Emby plugins folder, Aber a successful install and Emby restart, the plugin will be listed within your Emby plugins. I've updated the docs https://github.com/tommargar/Kometa/blob/nightly_feature_emby_overlays_2/docs/config/emby.md see Emby specific settings. Let me know if you need more information.

I have some information that might help. The Recordings that do not play on the LG TV will play if i start them off on the windows emby app and resume on the LGTV. The problem seems to be they recordings will not play from the beginning on the LGTV thanks

this forum is horrible. doesnt let me edit posts so have to keep making new ones do you have a discord for this or anything. i didnt see any updated docs for embyplugin. the only thing i found was this post. EDIT: Added files. Put the dll file in <your plugins folder for the overlays, point to your Kometa export folder and hit 'save'. is this saying put plugin into the emby plugins folder. i dont understand what to point to kometa folder means and hit save. where is this suppose to be edited.

i removed all the collections with search attributes and left only the ones like this, and it seams to be building collections. just not working with any mal / anilist builders. i see mal isnt in the docs but anilist is but still doesnt work with anilist ones. Action: template: name: Anime genre: Action

almost there. it did edit user ratings the first run but as soon as it starts to build collections it has problems with templets. i checked your docs and the templats im usings are listed in the builder. i have tried to # out the ones errored but after doing that multiple times i have to remove all builders from collection and then it errors on the next collection. so seams like no builders are working right now or im doing something wrong lol. this is the yml im trying to use, same i use for plex. meta-9.log meta.log animefast.yml

You'll have to elaborate on that a bit, as in maybe a mockup of end-result, just to get an idea of what would you like to achieve?

However, Emby does not read this information from an NFO file, but probes the video file for it. If your collection assignment gets broken after replacing the movie file with some other version, then something other is wrong on your end.

ty ty, just updated everything at seams to be running. if i run into any other issues ill update. ty again for your help.

Thank you, this worked.

Hi guys, Can I please get some answers and follow up on my case? It would be more than appreciated, cause for the moment, I can’t use my Emby server Thanks in advance and best regards !

Ah v. interesting. I'll have a look into implementing that and see how it goes. It'd be good to have this bug fixed, though - or just give us some more control over the live TV pipeline. Thanks for your help though.

Those mb3admin 404 errors are interesting, that's supposed to be validating your device. Is there any reason to be using the hosted web app instead of your local web app? FYI that HAR file contains an api key, while your host is masked it would be good to remove the attachment.

Jolly, Can you look at the media to see if the subtitles are embedded or with separate files. Also can you see which subtitle type is being shown and if the media content is being transcoded or not.? This is important There are about 10 variables and perhaps over 100 combinations that might be happening. It's sort of hard to guess which one you have unless we see a log file.

[continued] - Then I call [EMBY_API_URL]/Sessions` and filter for a matching ip, user id, and device type i can get the active session id - Then I call [EMBY_BASE_URL]/Sessions/[session.Id]/Playing?itemIds=[embyId]&playCommands=PlayNow Some things I've observed... - This seems to work fine for movies, even if a movie is already playing - In the case of TV eps, it seems to fail if an ep is already playing... you have to exit back to a main screen prior to the next call - Obviously, if there's a failure in the ios calls to open the app, a session wont be created so all emby-api calls will fail - Some odd rights stuff if you have multiple users... if you create a session with a user with limited access, then call to play a movie with that session that shouldn't have access, it still plays Like I said above, I'm blown away by how capable the api is. I'd love to see a deeplink that pens emby, prompts for a pin if the most recent user has one, and once auth is complete either plays or fails to play the related movie based on if the currently auth'd user has access to the releated embyId

Following up here.. To the credit of the API, it is definitely possible to implement a workaround but I've founds some odd behaviors and still think universal / deep link support for tvOS would be more reliable... - I've found that if I use ios shortcuts to 'wake' the appleTV and then open Emby, this creates an emby session. - Then I call [EMBY_API_URL]/Sessions` and filter for a matching ip, user id, and device type i can get the active session id

Pretty much. In the latest stable release you have the ability to override the Auto setting at the user level with a bitrate value from the server. Not perfect but you can use it to reduce unneeded transcoding. The transcoding workload shouldn't be a problem with your server though the reduced quality from incorrect Auto detection is a hassle in itself.

Hi All... I hope you can help... When we are watching wither Movies or TV episodes and we turn on subtitles, all is goodness. Then if we pause the show to go to the loo or even go get a drink or chat a chat for a few minutes, EMBY go back to the TV screen slideshow and when we come back to start watching again, subtitles are turned OFF and we have to reselect them again./?? It does not appear to remember that they were turned ON before pausing..??? Is there a setting that I am missing..???? Cheers Jolly

The episode was not recorded, Luke.

3.5.31 fixed the issue on Android Thank you for your responsiveness. Would it be possible to apply this fix to iOS (iPhone) and Emby Server Web as well ?

Hmmm... I'm going to pause this for the moment, as what I have now is ok and probably not worth finessing any further just yet. BUT your revised script has indirectly given me a really interesting new idea that I wouldn't otherwise have thought of myself. You essentailly duplicated the "Included In" row and then repopulated both rows based on Boxsets and Playlists filtering, and it's functional. I'm wondering if it's possible to take the same approach elsewhere, on whole grid sections, and use Tag filtering instead... ??? This is a much larger new project though...!!!

I don't typically do that until a version actually hits beta.

Hi. The license is for personal use. 80 devices should cover that adequately. Thanks.

After recording a few more different things, i am unable to play back as the recordings are not showing up in any of the emby apps. Although i have checked the folder where they are recorded too and they have recorded.

It's not for me to judge, it does look mighty suspicious though.
