Ok we’ll take a look at it. Thanks:

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

Make that 6 of us? Just building a dedicated home theater that will be primarily run with CIH through zooming my projector. Would be great to be able to have a theme that moves UI elements (important ones anyways) within some boundary.

Thanks for the feedback!

This still happens to me consistently (every time, even?), and only from the Roku app. When I watch a live tv stream, the provider stream stays open even after I exit the stream and stay in the app. The only way to end the stream is to disconnect via my IPTV proxy app (Dispatcharr) or restart the emby server (restarting only the Roku app has no effect). On Windows and iOS, exiting the stream stops the stream from the provider as expected.

On the latest version of the app it DirectPlays, so I guess solved for now.

Hi, were you able to try it?

Hi, we mention that in our Connecting from Client Apps guide. please go through that and let us know if it helps. Thanks.

Hi, please try with the latest update to the Emby app. Thanks.

Hi, I would try cleaning your existing download queue and then try to download something new. Please see if that helps. Thanks.

Hi, what makes you think the webstreams plugin does not work?

Hi, we’ll do some testing on this. Thanks.

How are you trying to do that? What exactly is happening?

Just use Emby as usual. This bug is quite common. In the most common case, the dashboard will stretch to fill the screen (normally, it must show a left bar for the 1/4 of the screen)but its won’t show and when click show left bar will blank the pic above .

Hi, this is happening on YouTube’s end. We are configuring it to not show subtitles but it still is anyway. Right now this looks out of our control but we are looking into it. Thanks.

Is it your own server that you are trying to connect to?

Hi all , I can’t get into Emby I hit login with connect, scan qr and enter the code which is correct, sign into server on phone and I get this what does this mean?

Is there any way to turn off subtitles/captions when watching trailers - without impacting subtitle settings for playback of normal content? They appear to be full descriptive captions, e.g. "(Ominous music)" as well as dialogue subtitles. They're present on both my LG app and windows desktop app. If they're being pulled in by default from, e.g. You Tube, could you add a setting enabling Emby users to disable the feed? Thanks!

I’m having black screen issues returning after a few minutes of playback on 2.2.56 using the official Apple USB c to HDMI adapter

Let me clear this up some. I can get to Emby using a browser by the FQDN. But not by the Emby app using the same FQDN.

Hi, not currently but it’s something that could be added.

Here's another example with a different file. simplescreenrecorder-2026-08-29_18.52.27.mp4

Small update for anyone still following this thread — liquidWave is now on Google Play in closed testing, and I'm looking for testers. Rather than repeat it all here, the details and the two-step join are in a new thread: Thanks to everyone who showed interest first time round

Hi all Some of you may remember my earlier post about liquidWave, the self-hosted "sonic analysis" layer for Emby I've been building, plus its Android player: There's been a lot of work on it since — and it's now on Google Play in closed testing. I'm looking for testers. The idea: a small service you run yourself listens to your library once and learns what each track actually *sounds* like — not genre tags — which powers: - Sonic Mixes — auto-curated mixes grouped by how your music really sounds, refreshable, save as a real Emby playlist - Track Radio & Similar — an endless queue from any track, or tracks/artists/albums that genuinely sound alike - Sonic Adventure — pick a start and end track, it builds a journey that morphs between them - Artist Mix Creator — pick a few artists, it suggests sonically similar ones, builds a cross-artist mix It's also a complete Emby music and audiobook player: crossfade that trims silent intros/outros rather than blending dead air, a 10-band EQ, offline downloads with durable resume, Android Auto, a home-screen widget, Google Cast, and a browser web app for non-Android devices. Audiobooks are a first-class citizen here, not an afterthought — chapter-aware browsing and resume (it picks up at the right chapter and position, not just the start of a file), variable playback speed, and a sleep timer. They download for offline listening too, and still resume in the right place when you come back. Everything runs on your own hardware. No account, no cloud service, no ads, no analytics, no telemetry. You need Emby 4.8+. The app on its own is a fully capable Emby player in about five minutes with no backend at all; the sonic features need the small self-hosted service alongside your server. To join the test (Google requires both steps, sorry — the group is how Play controls access): 1. Join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/liquidwave-testers 2. Then open https://play.google.com/apps/testing/guru.liquid.embysonic and hit "Become a tester" After that it installs from Play like any other app and updates automatically. If you're able to, please join through Play rather than sideloading the APK — Google needs 12 testers installed via Play for 14 continuous days before an app can go public, so those are the installs that count. Sideloading works fine and is still supported, it just doesn't help get it over that line. Full details and the setup guide: https://playliquidwave.com Genuinely a beta, but been my daily driver for over a month now — actively developed, there will be rough edges, and I'd rather hear about them. Feedback of any kind very welcome, here or in the app's issue tracker. Thanks for reading
