another update when using infuse the issue disappears (at least tried on the apple tv). Can some one from the team take a look at the log? would really prefer to use the emby app Z

Funny how 2 years ago all these episodes showed fine but your too stupid and ignorant to see that

How the hell are you even working with customers with your arrogant rudeness you make me sick. I am canceling my subscription you arrogant piece or sh$t there is Metadata for these episodes idiot!!! But your too busy lalalalalalalla like a goof instead of fixing the problem you should be fired!!!! And never work with people again. You make me sick. Eat sh$t and die goof!!!!!!!!!

Now the opposite problem is happening. It's always too bright on my Google Pixel 8 Pro.

Again you are ignoring the TVDB problem. If there is no metadata to pull for these specials, including them will do jack if Emby doesn't know where the hell to place them. It would place them at the beginning of the season or in the Specials folder. That's it. You are not understanding this at all. Again you need to manually address this, or use a different metadata provider. How the hell would Emby know where to place them in the season if they don't have the information.. We're telling you what the problem is and you're just going "LALALALA I don't care just fix it" when it's something that is out of the dev team's capabilities to fix because they have no control over the data. I've been using Emby for anime for a decade now. Your library is probably miniscule compared to mine and others on here. We know WTF we're talking about.

Hi! I recently recovered from a bad VM and rebuilt Emby onto a new Linux VM. I am posting in the "General" section because I feel like this is more of a generic question then a Linux specific question. Upon rebuilding I guess I accidentally selected "Save Artwork into Media Folders". Well.....now my network share has thousands of small files in it because until probably about 2 years ago I was just dumping MKV's into a share. Nowdays I create new folder for each movie etc. Anyway - I have a network share with thousands of small files and although I dont notice a performance issue (my network storage is very fast) I would rather it not be this way. Is there a clean way to "undo" this? Get the artwork back onto the server metadata folder / delete from the network share? If not what if I create folders for each movie and re-scan what will Emby do? Looking for suggestions. Maybe I should just leave it be but my OCD is bothering me and I feel like thousands of files on the root of the network share isn't best practice.

Subs should be embedded in the container. Stop being lazy. MKV is currently the superior container. Everyone should be using it. There are plenty of tools to automate this. Get with the times people.

I can't seem to edit my post, but anyway, disregard. I'm a big dummy. I didn't have the correct permissions set on my xtream/Movies and xtream/Shows directories. Seems to be working great now. Nice plugin!

No worries, as for Dispatcharr and VOD - yes you’re right it is supported in terms of it can be imported and proxied/streamed in the same way as Live TV. The only caveat is it doesn’t support a M3U output of VOD, although it is a requested feature. There is a dispatcharr plugin recently coded (in a similar way to this plugin) that supports a strm output for VOD and depending on your setup its either ideal for emby or a pain to keep updated/in-sync. That’s why this plug in is great as it pulls it from the emby side and has some advanced sync capabilities. For me it also provides custom category folders when creating strms. The dispatcharr plugin puts everything in one folder.

Thanks for your input Apotropaic. I've installed dispatcharr now but done nothing to it in terms of config yet. So, from what you're saying, dispatcharr won't do VOD stuff like series and movies - I thought it did doo that. There's some concern on the /reddit that this is vibecoded and TBH I'm not sure how I feel about that, it is open source so surely same rules apply as to all open source i.e. those non-coders amongst us trust that the coders amongst us have us covered. I'll take a look properly tomorrow. Thanks again

Let's hear it for having subtitles embedded in the container with the video. I have series with fifteen or twenty languages available for every episode, and not a single extra file in the folder - what's not to like? Paul

I am having an issue with getting sync to not fail with movies and series. Whenever I check /xtream/Shows or /xtream/Movies there is no data in either directory. I have posted a screenshot below of my series result. Also, what does "Danger zone" mean?

See if this fixed it for you. WatchPartyForEmby.dll

Over past year, MKV files with multiple subtitles have started to have Estonian subtitles with the ISO code 'ekk' in addition to the usual 'est' country code. Emby cannot guess language of these subtitles. Can this be added so, that Emby client shows usual 'Estonian' for both - est and ekk language code? https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/ekk Frankly, it's IMHO stupid that a language spoken by about a million people in entire world is divided into three sublanguages.(est, ekk and vro) in ISO standard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_language

Just a note about this issue. Overnight I had a power failure that lasted long enough for my battery backup to run down and so my server failed and did not reboot until the power came back on. That meant a full reboot of everything and, except for one computer that I had forgotten to make auto restart, everything came back up with zero interaction from me. It restarted Emby and when I tested Emby worked fine and all my clients, including the web app and my Rokus and my Shield TV and my Fire Sticks, came back up and were able to access Emby with no unreasonable delay. That is a test I would have never put my system through as my health makes detailed troubleshooting difficult but, fortunately for me, everything came back up without problem and my access to Emby is as quick as it ever was and I have no problems. If I was awake when the power went out I could have done a controlled shutdown but i was not and I did not so this was an unexpected failure test that Emby passed with flying colors. I have now tested just about all Emby functionality I use and I can report that everything is as quick as it ever was. Good job Emby and thank you for the reliability you have built in.

Not sure.. But i mean the function is there in the settings so why not? I had an older plugin doing it, not the new home screen ofc but all other library settings (library order for example). So i'm gonna investigate it and see what can be done. EDIT: Here is some infomration I found: https://betadev.emby.media/reference/RestAPI/ContentService.html

Is it possible to add home screen sections via the Emby API? I couldn't find anything in the documentation.

Thanks to everyone testing and reporting bugs, I really appreciate it! Besides fixing bugs and small things you find, the next step in developing the plugin is adding a setting we can call "Home Screen Companion" The idea is to create something similar to Emby’s built-in “copy data to users” feature. You’ll be able to choose one user as the source, and then automatically apply that user’s Home Screen settings to all other users. It will sync automatically, so if I make changes to my source user, those changes will automatically be applied to all users set to follow it. For now, it’s just an idea and I haven’t looked into how complicated it would be to implement. That said, it’s a feature I personally really want, so I’ll definitely explore what’s possible.

So just to clarify, fou want an option to "override other entries with the same tag". Example if I have one entry named Spotlight and another named Spotlight Halloween that both put on the tag "spotlight". For halloween i want to overide so it only uses the items from my halloween and remove the tags from my ordinary Spotlight entry. Correct? I'll put it on the to-fix list, thanks for reporting! Thats kind of what i ment. In my testing i did tag 14.500 items, thats when the issue with a temporary crash/loading appeared. And my server is kind of beefy.. Not sure how to solve this, i dont believe there are a lot of users who put on this many tags, so it's only an issue for some people. It's not a top priority to fix at the moment. If anyone experience this issue just let it sit for another minute and it catches up. I will add the option to enter either the Movie name ot imdb ID. I like the idéa of the negative matching. I'll look into it What do you mean by the runtime? You can select: equal, less, more? It's the same as year option? The (min) stands for "minutes" I'll see what I can do, thanks for reporting!

Nope, it hasn't happened since. I guess the machine got in a bad state or something. Thanks.

IPTVBOSS. Best editor out there. Many are starting to copy some of the functions and options that BOSS has been providing for a long time. https://iptvboss.pro

I always dread updating because every time I do something has changed or broken. This time I've noticed the following issues from what little I've used of the new update so far (all in the web based view): First, loading Emby just seems to take forever sometimes or even not at all without having to refresh several times. Typically it just shows a black screen and the emby logo with zero user feedback on what is even happening. Maybe it's frozen, maybe it's loading something, maybe it's done and not doing anything for some reason. More feedback would be appreciated, and no a spinning wheel is not enough. Clicking on the Playlists item used to actually show my playlists, now it shows...nothing. I have to go to Music -> Playlists to bring it up. What's the point of the playlists button on the home screen then? Playing a music playlist was nice, now it's taken a few steps back. It used to show the album cover super blurred out in the background (cool), now it just shows a boring color gradient to black (not cool) and unless there's a super vibrant dominant color it just ends up being gray or super muted and just looks bland. With the playlist open on the right side it used to show the eq animation over the album cover of the current song and so on down the page until it got to the last one visible on the page, then the next song would appear at the top of the page (cool), now it constantly jumps the new currently playing song to the top (not cool) There can now be a major delay in updating the song information in the now playing info. It could be several seconds or more into a new song and still showing the previous song's information Volume seems to have dropped. I have my system volume at 50% and when my playlist would play i'd have to drop the emby volume from 100% down to 40%. Since the update i still have my system volume at 50% but now i only seem to have to drop the emby volume down to 60%-70%. These are some things i've experienced since updating today.

Then I save myself from all the hassle, I guess... Was fun hack project though, never wrote mobile app before or even attempted to do so.

I already switched some time back to Narjo - https://narjomusic.com/ Which works perfectly with CarPlay and Emby.

I’m sure everyone will have an opinion on this but I’ll give you mine! Regardless if you use this plugin or not I would install dispatcharr. It gives you the ability to group multiple streams into one single channel. So only one channel instance is exposed to emby/users but dispatcharr in the background will pick the stream that’s working and will automatically switch to another. You can also reorder the streams in order of preference too, resolution, bitrate, audio codec etc. This method also gives you static channel numbers that are easy to move around and insert new channels inbetween. You can also rename the channels however you wish. The whole channel management is amazing. If you have multiple accounts or sources then these can all combined with ease. Selecting/De-delecting groups is easier. I’ve used IPTVBoss too. The chattiness issue…dispatcharr does expose some of the underlying streaming options so there is more control over it, but I can’t say just out of the box it will be better. Dispatcharr can also work as a proxy which you may or may not like the idea of… So now to why you may want both this and dispatcharr. For me it’s the strm generation for VOD content. It’s the best solution I’ve found so far, everything else is as you say very clunky. But I’ve not tested it throughly yet. If you only use Live TV and apart from the fast switching that you’ve mentioned there is no compelling reason to use this and dispatcharr. I’m not using it as yet, I’m still pulling in a M3U from dispatcharr into emby as a M3U tuner. I’m planning on doing some testing in the next week or so. I just don’t want to break the system I have for live tv!
