Did this ever materialize? In early 2026 with Emby Premiere, I see that I can download a playlist, but that only downloads the albums and songs. The Playlist itself is not available offline, nor is the critical (for me) sort by Artist. That is lost when offline on Android. Without playlists or artists, I effectively can't use Emby to play music when driving. Also, especially important when driving in Android Auto: a "jump to letter" option. So, for example, if I want to play ZZ Top, I can press Z to jump to those artists, rather than having to scroll through dozens or hundreds of pages to get there. When driving, that's both difficult and dangerous. I had really assumed that Premiere, promoted as supporting offline playback, would include this. I can see how it may not be needed for movies -- you take a few with you on a trip, you don't really need all the sorting and metadata features -- but for audio/music, it isn't really usable at all without playlists and artist grouping. It should work just like when it's online to the Emby server at my house. I can select Playlists, hit the one I want, and play those songs. It's also important that there be some mechanism to SYNC (not just a onetime download) music for offline play. I'm always adding new songs and albums to Emby, so need a way to efficiently sync them to the offline/downloaded files on my phone.

@visproduction Thanx for that! I got to admit that after reading up on ways to block IP:s, rerouting IP:s, reverse proxys and pages of coding, Your suggestion was by far the most creative and fun! Its a bit above my paygrade for the moment, but when i get the fundamentals locked down i think i might just take you up on that! Peace brother! N.

I have a 4 tuner live TV box (vbox), and have simultneous stream limit set to 0, but I can only stream 1 channel. If I play say BBC one on one device, it plays fine, but then try and select ITV on another device I get playback error, internal server error. Incidentally, I can play the same channel on multiple devices fine. Help.

Whenever a network change happens on my phone, such as going from wifi to cellular or vice versa or turning a vpn on/off, I become disconnected to the server and it won't load anything until the app is restarted. However this issue does not occur when actually watching video, but backing out of the video after the network change still causes the issue. This is all demonstrated in the attached video. It also happens almost every time I open the app if it's been awhile, so i'm constantly restarting the app. At first I thought it occured when changing from remote to local connection but that is not the case. The example shown in the video is connected remotely before and after. Not sure if this is a setup issue with the server or a bug with the app. Device: Oneplus 13 on android 16 App version 3.5.28 Record_2026-03-07-08-45-42_44afb15bb7fddf0c82da86f25534e5f4.mp4 embyserver.txt

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Hi Folks! How is the status with this currently? I came across with this problem again, and it would be extremely useful if I can use rk's hw acceleration with emby.

Thanks. I use another program that does the same thing. Should have thought of that.

Thanks for the suggestion. I deleted everything in the cache folder, but nothing changed. Same effect. Only Tizen is able to show recommendations. I have a lifetime subscription. Is there any official way to send a support ticket to the developers or something like that? Or do I have to wait for the kindness of volunteers and users?

In the system.xml main configuration file there is a section: <SortRemoveWords> <string>the</string> <string>a</string> <string>an</string> <string>das</string> <string>der</string> <string>el</string> <string>la</string> </SortRemoveWords> You can edit this (manually, not through the GUI) as required.

Media I, Security idea that might be useful for users who like using the web client only. I like setting up a hidden page online on a website I control, with a fun image and an image map. The user clicks some part of the image and they are taken to the Emby IP address. Security benefits: You set the IP address and the port, inside some area of the image of some fun photo (image map). It is less likely to be grabbed by any bot. https://imageonline.io/image-map-generator/ https://www.image-map.net/ Users get a link to the hidden page, where you put any promotions, updates, notices or reviews. If you decide to change the port or have to move to a new IP address, you update the hidden page link and you're done. You never have to suggest users go to an IP address, which, for many mobile browser is not actually easy or practically impossible to do. Example code to be added to a page where you are the admin of the site. (It does not work with social media member sites). Replace the 192 address with your remote access address. <a href="http://192.168.1.5:8096"><img src="your-image.jpg" alt="Member only access to the media server" title="Member only access to the media server" usemap="#image-map" height="750" width="500"></a> <h1>Welcome to Ralph's collection</h1> <p>Some promotion or review...</p> <map name="image-map"> <area shape="rect" coords="405,597,591,1320" href="#" alt="Area 1"> <area shape="rect" coords="575,609,801,670" href="#" alt="Area 2"> <area shape="rect" coords="373,726,458,928" href="#" alt="Area 3"> </map>

Where does the default Sort Title come from? On new movies and occasionally then I use Bulky Editor, and Movie title beginning with the letter A, the A is dropped. I appreciate dropping the leading "The" but prefer leaving the leading "A". If it's an Emby thing could it be made an option to leave the leading A or not?

Any reason why Emby would keep changing my tags to all lower case? Removing them and readding is really not an option (currently at 95,000 tags). I know if I screw up typing they all follow that standard but this is all tags showing lowercase. The interesting part is when looking at them from Movies-Tags, they are all correct. It's only in the individual Metadata do they show lowercase.

When you select download there should be a quality picker.

All right, thanx, will look into it.

Where can I find in Emby to do that?

No its setup in my Ubiquity Security Router.

Thanx for your reply @Neminem If not, i will make sure that they have. Good question, will look in to it. Another good one,hadnt thought about that, thanx! I sae that as an option when reading up, do you use it in windows firewall? Thanx again, you saved me,probably,a lot of time for schooling me on whitelists

I think you can set quality to original.

Does all the user have a static ip? What if there DHCP lease renews? What if they go mobile? Personally I use geo blocking in my firewall.

Les téléchargements pour un visionnage hors connexion sont énormément long à cause de la conversion du fichier. Est il nécessaire de faire un réglage pour que les téléchargements soient plus rapides? Si oui, lequel? Merci par avance de vos commentaires khrisdenormandie

Not sure what do you mean by that, hash-matching was never part of plugin settings but individual library option - and it's still there both in stable and beta versions?

Is this issue still being worked on? I still experience this delay or flash when scrolling down.
