Hi, yes, although there are features in the UI to delete subtitle files.

Wrong! Because the HTTP protocol and a conventional file transfer process (such as copying via a network share) work in fundamentally different ways: Missing file system metadata: HTTP transmits only the raw data stream (the payload of the media file). Operating system file attributes – such as timestamps (creation and modification dates), access permissions, inode information or extended attributes – are simply not included in an HTTP response header and are lost in transit. HTTP Range Requests (partial requests): When copying a file (e.g. via SMB), the file is transferred sequentially from start to finish. An HTTP media stream works differently: the player uses so-called range requests (206 Partial Content) to request only specific ranges of bytes – for example, when fast-forwarding or for the current buffer. At no point is a complete, contiguous copy of the file as a whole transferred. Server abstraction: The Emby server reads the source file and sends only the requested byte sequences to the client. Even though the audio and video streams remain bit-for-bit identical, the server processes the container structure at the application level, rather than serving the physical file on a block-by-block basis (as a file system would). Technically speaking, this is an on-demand live data stream rather than a synchronous, complete copy of a file.

In other words: with regards to our own ecosystem, I think this is a client-side feature and should be handled by client players rather than by the server. Having a transcoding parameter to cause server transcoding to apply such gain adjustments nonetheless is still possible. But these are two very different things - which is why I said that we're not talking about...

I have request, take it or leave it. When we download subtitles of same language can we just have overight the old one, instead of keeping a link list of same language subtitles. As most of the subs are useless cause of ai translation, wrong mkv , etc I have movies or series with more than 10 Greek subtitles that I need to delete from directories . I mean thousands! Thank you

Thanks for sharing.

On the subject in general, this cannot be reduced to a single feature request like "Replay Gain Feature" yes/no. There are really multiple parts and the first one is obviously media information data. Stream side data in FFmpeg has substantially grown in variety in recent years, so one consideration might be to always record the full side data for all streams as Json string to catch everything, even when we don't have our own data structures for it. I'm saying this, because the value of replay gain data specifically is questionable - because it also depends on what we are doing with it: As you might know, we have different ways for playback: There's "direct play", where the client retrieves the original bytes of the media files and plays them directly - and we have transcoded playback. When we would apply the gain adjustments in case of transcoding, but still return the replay gain information as part off the media info, a client might assume that it still needs to apply that gain correction - or the other way round, it would need to know that it needs to apply gain adjustment only in case of direct play but not in case of transcoded playback. My immediate intuition on the whole topic would be to: Leave it up to the client to handle replay gain adjustment - according to what's baked into the media metadata When transcoding at the server-side, don't apply any gain correction - just make sure that any replay gain metadata information does not get lost when transcoding

It doesn't use replaygain, but yes it scans your music library and normalizes the volume.

I have been watching movies today on a lazy Saturday. So far playback has been flawless! Enjoying that. I have noticed a minor UI thing - When selected any poster or thumb image, as the poster/thumb expands slightly in size as it becomes the focus point, the text under it overlaps the image just a little bit. It sort of makes it hard to read while the image is focused. Maybe just a padding issue? Nothing else of note so far.

Nothing is lost by transferring over http. It's still bit to bit perfect copy.

@softworkz Thank you for clarifying. Is there a supported public plugin API—such as IFfmpegRunner, IMediaEncoder, or another service—that allows a plugin to create an audio transcoding job with a custom constant-volume filter and stream the result? I am trying to avoid launching and managing FFmpeg directly from the plugin. If no supported extension point exists for adding an audio filter to Emby’s transcoding pipeline, that answers the question.

Bonjour à tous, Comme beaucoup ici, j'ai mon serveur Emby au centre de mes soirées. Il ne lui manquait qu'une chose : la TV en direct de mon abonnement Zattoo, que je devais toujours aller chercher ailleurs. Alors je me suis lancé, et le résultat fonctionne assez bien pour que j'aie envie de le partager. Emby.Zattoo est un plugin Live TV qui fait apparaître les chaînes non-DRM d'un compte Zattoo directement dans Emby, comme n'importe quelle autre source TV. On ouvre le guide, on clique sur une chaîne, ça démarre. Rien de plus. Sous le capot, tout se passe côté serveur : le plugin ouvre le flux Zattoo, choisit une piste vidéo et une piste audio, puis les remuxe en MPEG-TS pour Emby avec FFmpeg en copie de flux. Pas de réencodage, donc très peu de CPU. Et vos identifiants, cookies et URL de lecture ne quittent jamais votre serveur. Ce que ça donne au quotidien : - vos chaînes arrivent avec leurs vrais numéros, vos favoris, les logos et les bouquets, en ne gardant par défaut que celles réellement lisibles - un guide jusqu'à 14 jours, dont les descriptions se complètent tranquillement en arrière-plan - les rubriques Films, Séries, Sport, Jeunesse et Actualités de la grille se remplissent enfin, et l'enregistrement de séries fonctionne - le DVR d'Emby fait son travail normalement. Le plugin s'adapte même à la capacité de votre compte : si l'abonnement le permet, vous pouvez regarder une chaîne pendant qu'une autre s'enregistre - côté configuration, deux champs à remplir : identifiant et mot de passe. Tout le reste a des valeurs par défaut qui vont très bien. Soyons clairs sur les limites, parce qu'elles comptent : le plugin ne touche absolument pas aux chaînes protégées par DRM et ne contourne rien du tout. Il lit uniquement ce que votre compte expose sans protection. Le Replay et les enregistrements hébergés chez Zattoo ne sont pas intégrés non plus. Pour l'essayer, il vous faut Emby 4.9.x sous Linux avec Emby Premiere actif (c'est Emby qui l'exige pour le Live TV et le DVR), et un compte Zattoo valide. Rien d'autre à installer : le plugin utilise le FFmpeg déjà embarqué par Emby. Tout est ici, avec le guide d'installation : https://github.com/fearless210/emby.zattoo La DLL se télécharge dans les releases, avec ses sommes SHA256 pour vérifier l'intégrité. Et maintenant, j'ai besoin de vous. Je l'utilise tous les jours et il tourne très bien chez moi — Emby Web, iOS, Samsung Tizen, enregistrements longs compris. Mais je n'ai qu'un seul compte et une seule région pour tester. Si vous l'essayez depuis un autre pays, avec un autre abonnement ou d'autres clients Emby, votre retour m'intéresse énormément, que ça marche ou non. Bugs, idées, remarques : ouvrez une issue sur GitHub ou répondez ici, je suis preneur. Et si l'envie vous prend de mettre les mains dedans, le dépôt contient une documentation technique qui explique l'architecture et le protocole observé, de quoi contribuer sans avoir à décortiquer tout le code. Petite précision pour finir : projet non officiel, sans aucun lien avec Zattoo ni avec Emby, et son utilisation reste soumise aux conditions de votre abonnement. Bons tests, et merci d'avance à ceux qui prendront le temps d'un retour !

Emby SDK Reference: IFfmpegConfiguration only tells you the location of the FFmpeg binaries.

@Luke Would a plugin using the documented IFfmpegConfiguration and media-encoding interfaces to expose ReplayGain metadata and a gain-adjusted audio stream be acceptable for the Emby plugin catalog? Are those interfaces considered stable for third-party plugins?

JF has this feature/functionality?

I am also interested in this feature

Have you taken a look at this?

That is not all you have to do. You have to make sure to choose a location that the server process has permission to write to.

Hi, maybe the windows app is just taking over there?

Yes there’s a topic in the feature requests section for replay gain .

Hi, is the file utf8 encoded? What happens in the web app?

@Luke@softworkz, Understood. Is there an existing feature-request or issue number I can follow, and would this likely be considered for the 4.9 release series or a later major release?

Sorry about the very delayed reply, as i am pretty much not using emby anymore so haven't even visited here in over a month. The UK has written the law in such a way that I am liable wherever its hosted, and because of age gates and cloudflare protection getting more and more common on the source sites, its now even harder to automate the backend to update the catalog, which is now at least 6 months behind current releases. I still have the database somewhere archived (not even sure where now), but its huge. it was over half a terabyte. So uploading it is also a good no-no, im not using my bandwidth to do that. Even posting it on a hdd to someone else would require a 1 tb hdd and hours of copying it there (maybe days because of millions of files). I might ressurect it in time as a dht (torrent) kind of network, that's an option but i dont think that adheres to embys own policies.

Have one of those things that drives you up the wall. I use Firefox to play Emby 99% of the time. It's just handy for me. Until today whenever I pressed the volume key on my keyboard a "mini-player" would show the volume with additional controls and what's playing (attached). Now, it's gone, and the only place I can see it is within Windows Emby Theater. Same control panel. Did I do something to make it disappear? Software update? Unknown? I'm stumped.

Hi, what are the steps to reproduce?

Hi, yes this has come up before and is possible for the future. Thanks
