Think the closest thing available is Playback Reporting plugin but is limited to the date of install as it runs its own db.

It really depends on how much media you have. Firstly, yes I would recommend putting everything into their own dedicated folder and just moving the associated metadata into them (.nfo and art). It is just a cosmetic thing. It’s up to you if you want untick the save artwork option but I prefer having it all there in case in the future I need to rebuild my library so emby doesn’t have to download everything again, as well keeping all my custom art I’ve picked. I’d then run an emby library rescan which will just identify that the media has moved, all your watched statuses should remain. Whether you remove all these files is up to you, depending on your OS you can use the CLI to do this quite easily based on how brave you are If you do remove them then you ‘may’ need to refresh the metadata for the library, I’ve never stored my media this way so I don’t know from experience.

I have the Emby Statistics plugin that gives me user-based statistics and it has a lot of information, however I am looking for specific information, like what I watched and what time. Then ideally I would be able to download a list of all movies/TV with basic metadata too, but I think I'll need to tap into IMDB for that. I am building a project where I need the information. I am open to other ideas if Emby can't do it directly, can it tie into another system (and mark things watched that I watched in the past) and I can export from there. Thanks!

@Luke@FrostBytethe post from @vicvipermakes some legitimate points. Each day I check to see if I’ve moved on from 2.2.5 so I can view trailers and nothing ever happens. any thoughts on the points @vicviperasks? thanks for the great work and I know you’re beholden to Samsung but this is not a great outcome. Please advise? Thanks. Rob.

Correct. The biggest issue I can foresee here is overlapping schedules...say I have that option checked for my Halloween spotlight which runs Oct 15-31, and for my Vincent Price spotlight which is set for the anniversary of his death on October 25. Logically I would expect Price to take precedence, as that's the newest schedule, but I'm not sure what the best way of going about things is (and indeed, for this very reason I've set the Price spotlight only to the anniversary of his birth). The other option is setting a rule as a fallback, i.e. “only apply this rule if no schedules using this tag are active,” but then were two scheduled tags to overlap, they'd be combined as they are now, which isn't ideal. Ah. I thought it stood for “minimum,” which made no sense. Maybe change it from “min” to “mins”?

I'll fix that in next version...

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

macOS + Emby + Infuse + 50Mbps dedicated line: Playback is choppy. Emby doesn't transcode, and Infuse plays the source file directly. The 50Mbps dedicated line isn't enough, causing playback stuttering. Is there a way to force Emby to transcode?

has your remote ip address changed?

I'm a user like yourself, not staff. I completely understand the issue, and you've been told by people how to fix it, but you don't want to listen because you think you know better. Have a great day.

No good mate, I selected the movies library, then typed in 'Predator' and nothing came up at all and the 'select content' drop down was still at the very start of the library.

The browser video player is not as robust as what we're able to embed in our android app, so you'll see more server transcoding if you were to do this.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

I'm trying to install the Anime plugin through the Plugin Catalog and it seems to install fine (I see "Anime 1.5.7 installed on myServer" in the dashboard Alerts list), but when I go to edit my libraries to use anidb as the metadata downloader I don't see anidb as an option, and when I go back to "My Plugins" I don't see Anime in the list of installed plugins. In the server logs I see 2026-03-03 04:24:21.002 Info App: Loading MediaBrowser.Plugins.Anime, Version=1.5.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null from /config/plugins/MediaBrowser.Plugins.Anime.dll so it seems like it is there, but I don't see any errors or anything for why it's not loading - attached server logs from after restart ("embyserver (1).txt"), and from installing the plugin ("embyserver-63908108621.txt"), but there's not too much interesting there either 2026-03-03 04:22:40.077 Info HttpClient: GET https://www.mb3admin.com/admin/service/EmbyPackages.json 2026-03-03 04:22:42.268 Info HttpClient: POST https://www.mb3admin.com/admin/service/package/retrieveall?includeAllRuntimes=true 2026-03-03 04:23:28.716 Info HttpClient: POST https://www.mb3admin.com/admin/service/package/retrieveall?includeAllRuntimes=true 2026-03-03 04:23:31.896 Info Server: http/1.1 POST http://host2:8096/emby/Packages/Installed/Anime?updateClass=Release&AssemblyGuid=1d0dddf7-1877-4473-8d7b-03f7dac1e559&version=1.5.7&X-Emby-Client=Emby Web&X-Emby-Device-Name=Chrome&X-Emby-Device-Id=081c0b0f-e0af-4429-b275-8413f936d701&X-Emby-Client-Version=4.8.4.0&X-Emby-Token=x_secret1_x&X-Emby-Language=en-us.

Has anyone seen the iOS app fail to start music playback over VPN/cellular where the web player works? Any known issues with the embedded localhost:12344 web UI mode, Direct Play FLAC, or a setting to force the app to use the same streaming method as Safari? App never requests audio stream (no /Audio GETs), only metadata/playstate. Setup Emby Server on Synology (Synology package) Access from iPhone over cellular using WireGuard VPN (split-tunnel; LAN 192.168.X.X/24 routed through VPN) Server accessed by LAN IP (e.g., http://192.168.X.XXX:8096) Safari web player works over cellular+WireGuard (music plays normally) Emby iOS app fails over cellular+WireGuard: UI loads, can browse library, but music never actually plays (timer doesn’t advance, eventually skips tracks/stops) What happens In the iOS app, pressing Play starts a session in the server admin “Now Playing” screen, often showing Direct Play (FLAC), but the phone never produces audio and often stops/skips after a short time. On Wi-Fi it may eventually play, but on cellular via VPN it consistently fails. Safari on the same phone, same VPN, same URL plays immediately. Server logs (Debug enabled) The iPhone makes normal API calls for metadata/artwork and playstate, e.g.: GET /emby/Users/.../Items/... GET /emby/Items/.../Images/... POST /emby/Sessions/Playing/Progress POST /emby/Sessions/Playing/Stopped The session often stops with Position 0 ms (never actually starts playback). tcpdump evidence Captured on the NAS while pressing Play in the iOS app (filtering iPhone VPN IP 10.0.0.2 to Emby port 8096): Observed GETs for metadata and images, and POSTs for playstate/progress. No requests for any audio stream endpoint were observed (no GET /Audio/..., no GET /Items/.../stream, no download/stream GET at all). The app connects to 8096 only (no 8920), exchanges a small amount of data, then closes the connection shortly after. Key headers observed from the iOS app requests: Origin: http://localhost:12344 Referer: http://localhost:12344/ (which suggests the app is using an embedded local web UI/proxy) Conclusion Network/VPN path is proven good because Safari plays audio fine over the same cellular+WireGuard connection. The iOS app appears to never initiate the actual audio stream request, only control/metadata/playstate traffic, then stops/idle-skips. Versions iOS app reports: Emby for iOS 2.2.50 iPhone OS shown in UA: iPhone OS 18_7 Server web dashboard version shown in logs: Emby Web 4.9.3.0 (server package on Synology) Bottom line...The app never plays the music.

Thanks very much. Will have to try a bit later.

1. 2. 3. 4.

Yes, I have this so far - not sure about the semi-transparent bit - some of the css I suppose. It gives a row of movies, row of episodes, row of music and row of music videos.

Gents, tone it down. Refrain from personal insults and debate in a civil manner. Adhere to Forum Rules. Thank you.

HI, yes we can add this. Thanks for reporting.

How have you configured/set-up your Collection?

You're pathetic and don't even understand the issue, cause these exact same specials showed properly 3 years ago before the first time I left emby. Maybe try learning about what you're talking about so you don't look so stupid and arrogant. Everything worked fine before you switched your specials handling to only crucial specials. So adding a toggle to add back the all specials function should work fine like it did 3 years ago, but I guess your some newbie loser that does not know this but pretends he does, [redacted] instead you act like [redacted] and go all evil cry baby on people instead of actually trying to help them. Attacking is not helping believe it or not. So unless I get an apology, I am closing my account. This app has really gone downhill and must be desperate if they are allowing people like you to answer for them.

Any idea where using this smartlist plugin I could limit things to Movies and not get episodes, music etc ? Thanks.
