This one is almost entirely yours: nearly everything in it came from what was reported in this thread, or from digging into what was reported. Thank you — genuinely. The two focus bugs. Both are fixed, and looking into them turned out to be worth far more than the two screens where they were spotted. The last row of a poster grid: when it isn't full — which is almost always — and you came down on a column sitting above the gap, the remote did nothing and those titles couldn't even be opened. That was in every grid in the app, not just Movies and TV Shows. And the focus now lands where it should rather than wherever is nearest: coming down from the top bar takes you back to the artwork you were on instead of the middle one, on a title's page coming up from a row returns you to the buttons instead of the audio button, and coming down from the bar now reaches the Home feature, which used to be skipped entirely. Music playlists now show up. This one nobody reported, and it's the one item on the list that only ever went wrong on this server: your music playlists simply didn't appear. The app was asking for something the server doesn't send for playlists, so it threw them all away. It now works it out for itself — and it shows only your own, not other users'. Continue Watching shows the episode name, as asked here, in the same form the server shows it. The rest are small and you'll only notice them if they were annoying you: in Favourites no artwork is left off the edge of the screen any more, the progress bar reads over bright thumbnails, and the search field no longer has the bar sitting on top of its text. There's also a switch in Settings > Tools and Information that hands video preparation back to the server. You don't need it if everything plays well — it's there so that, when something doesn't, we can compare both paths instead of guessing. Please keep them coming. Sitting here, a test library has tidy full rows and nothing looks wrong; the things that actually get in the way only show up on a real library with a remote in hand.

Good question, and the number is doing a bad job of answering it. It isn't how many titles the library has — it's how many can be used as the featured item, and the app only ever looks at the 16 most recently added in that library. Of those, it counts the ones that have a backdrop image on the server, because that image is the whole featured area; a title without one can't be shown there. So "16" means all sixteen recent ones qualify, and "10" means six of that library's sixteen have no backdrop. Whatever ends up qualifying, at most five of them go into the rotation. That's why the number stays at 16 or below no matter how large the library is — and reading it back, a bare number next to a library name reads exactly like a library count. That one's on the label, not on you. Two practical consequences, in case they're useful: if a particular title never turns up in the featured area, it's the backdrop that's missing rather than anything about the title; and the featured item is always drawn from what's new in that library, not from the library as a whole.

It’s normal, but the throttle feature will allow it to slow down.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

Hi, you’ll need to ask the owner of the server for assistance on how to login. Thanks.

This is also now working great thanks

Another question on the featured item what determines what is in the one library option ? for movies it only show 16 and for tv it only shows 10 which i have way more of both

Didn't post logs because it's not really a problem but more of a question to how it's supposed to work. Throttle is on, never thought about it before now so haven't tried without. The stream never gets closed, it's only paused by the user.. For hours...

Just tweaked the design a bit and fixed a bug where the Profile PIN couldn't be read. EmbyUserNotes.dll v1.0.2 beta

Ich hole diesen Thread nochmal hoch. Ich habe das gleiche Problem und möchte fragen, ob es mittlerweile eine Lösung innerhalb von Emby gibt. Der Weg über das Datenverzeichnis ist meiner Meinung nach nicht optimal.

Here is how to report a problem Is transcoding throttle still turned on? Or is it still going after the stream is closed.

Not your end — that one was mine, and you were the first to say it. The featured area was a wide band across the top of the screen, and the picture in it is the item's backdrop, which the server keeps as 16:9. Filling that band edge to edge left about a fifth of the picture above it and the same below. The bottom cut never showed, because that edge fades into the page behind it. The top edge had nothing to fade into — so that's the one you were seeing, and with artwork framed tight, what lands on it is the top of someone's head. It's changed, and not by cropping it better: the artwork now fills the screen behind the rows instead of sitting in a band. A 16:9 image in a 16:9 screen has nothing to cut, so the top of the picture is simply the top of the picture. It's how the detail page has always shown it, which is the other thing I liked about it — the two screens now look like the same app. Measuring yours turned up something else on the same edge: a thin strip of flat background above the featured area, at the very top of the home screen. That's gone too. No date from me. It's written, and now it needs a television: a gradient that dissolves perfectly on a simulator can show as banding on a real panel, and that's the sort of thing that only the sofa decides. Thanks for asking whether it was you. It wasn't — and that question is what got it measured.

As topic says, paused transcoded streams keep transcoding forever. Is this on purpose? I thought it was only supposed to transcode up to a certain point ahead.

Setting the Nvidia Shield to 4K in the settings makes it fixed at that resolution, so 1080p gets shown in 4K. Only way to get it to show 1080p in actual 1080p with it set to 4K is to enable match resolution in Emby or the shield it self, note that this feature in the shield is in beta (though it has been that for years now).

What kind of subs are you using?

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with automatic HDR activation in Emby for Windows (version 2.3.17.2.0) on an RTX 5080 connected to a 4K HDR TV. Setup & Working Features: GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 (10-bit RGB Full) OS: Windows 11 Emby Version: 2.3.17.2.0 Working fine: 24p refresh rate switching and multi-channel audio passthrough work without issues. Issue Details: No Native HDR Trigger: Even with Enable Automatic HDR Mode Activation checked, playing HDR content does not trigger HDR on the TV (output remains in SDR/UHD). Display Control Status: Under Display Control, it statically shows HDR: on. On my previous PC, this showed disabled by default and toggled to enabled only during HDR playback to send the native signal. Rendering Engines Tested: Both Hardware Decoding (DX11 Video Acceleration / RTX 5080) and Software Decoding output in SDR (internal tonemapping occurs instead of sending native HDR10 metadata). Minor UI Bug: The UI defaulted to English on clean install and had to be manually changed under General -> Display Language. I have attached the log file below. Is this a known bug in build 2.3.17.2.0, or is there a specific driver/swapchain setting needed for the RTX 50 series? Thanks for your help! EmbyClient.txt

Around 30-40 seconds.

I'll hope this discussion can be kept up in an good way in another thread. Because there are some good points and things to take care of. So to my question. If I have understood this right, I need to have my Shield set to 4K in the GUI. To be certain I can watch 4K in 4K? For most streaming (NRK, HBO, Disney+ etc), I don't need 4K. So I think my Shield generally perform better in 1080p for the GUI. But if I must have it in 4K to be SURE 4K is shown in 4K, so be it. But I don't think it is the right way to solve it.

I will add this feature in the next update

Could you introduce additional category/toggle: "Airing" for "When a show is still running and the current season next episode's date is known'" so it shows that instead of "Returning" for running shows and Next air date OFF, so there's distinction between currently in-progress and actually returning shows? Thanks. Edit: And ofc color picker for it.

Carplay would be great!

Emby for Android? Same thing happens on the Android TV version. My client is a NVIDIA shield displaying on a LG OLED TV.

Hi vdatanet The "spotlight" on the home page images are cut off on the top on my screen . was not sure if this is an issue on my end since no one else reported it.

What client are you playing with? Paul

As far as I know, the background of Emby will be chosen from the Screensaver set in Apple TV. I like to use the Snoopy one, but this will turn the background in Emby to brown, which I don't like. Could we get regular themes to choose from within the app itself? The same ones you can choose on the Android app like Dark, Light, Blue Radiance or even the Apple TV Theme. Any possibility of this?
