I am experimenting with this box because it would simplify my life. I have been using a Windows 7 and now 10 PC for years with no emby problems on the same Unraid server. I want to convert to something with less maintenance issues as once or twice a year I wind up resetting the WIndows Kodi PC. For my needs, to best accomplish this I have been trying to get ZDMC v21 working with that fork's internal player which is the Zidooplayer. The Zidoo forums has half of the people saying it works and half saying it doesn't. What I can gather is that the Zidoo player doesn't like streaming files only local by design (don't ask me why.) Copilot tells me that this is very workable but I can't quite follow Copilots directions to completion. Here's where I am step by step: 1) I have websocket active and http: inactive. Path substitution on, direct paths. 2) Copilot advises to add a new path substitution. ls command gives me root@Unraid:/mnt/user/Movies which I think should translate to smb://Unraid/Movies/ I know on a PC I see UNRAID on my network and double click on it and see Movies Where I get lost is where Copilot tells me to add this path on the Advanced part of Emby. There's no place to do this. The only place I could find is under library, clicking on Movies, edit, I have added smb://Unraid/Movies/ to the Optional Share Folder field. I have restarted the server. 3) Copilot tells me to test by going to Kodi Videos files, and when I browse under either emby-for-kodi-next-gen-addon-video OR emby-for-kodi-next-gen-addon-video-path-substitution I get Remote Share / Path not found or invalid. Copilot says this error means I don't have it set correctly. (Gee, thanks.) So the internal (to ZDMC) Zidooplayer does not work. To me, the attached log is showing the correct SMB file and pathing. I may have a different issue, but Copilot is insiting I don't have pathing right. Any thoughts? kodi.log

And that didn't take long, found 1 bug right as I posted that 1 Moment for a patched version

Hi Luke: The live TV refresh was just running, but making no progress. I checked the log and there were no entries in the log other than Tune In Plugin entries around 12:02. It's strange because I have Live TV scheduled for an every twelve hour refresh, and whatever was running, seemed to be running as a tv channel refresh, green progress bar. Ive uninstalled the "Tune In Plugin", I dont really use it anyway, and I did an Emby restart, and Im doing a manual channel refresh now. Ill give it another day or perhaps later 12 hours from now, lets see what happens Attached is log, perhaps you can see something im missing. Thanks again. GG embyserver-63910901099.txt

@scottproRegarding issue/bug was a ET (legacy) problem, it was inaccurate because Emby Server Beta also was affected by the same issue, the one is reflected on Emby Theater but at least that part is resolved, last night I used Theater and the side scrolling is working but as stated before the option to apply the preferences "Hide Played Media" on Theater isn't working and yes I did check on my Preferences and are selected as before. @Luke Maybe check on this... isn't hiding the played media only on Theater, the new Windows App works as it should (I have both). Hope this helps

GUI was getting overwhelmed with all the stuff crammed in, needed some breathing room. v0.9 - GUI reworked emby_album_tag_importer.py

Done. Done. Done.

That would be awesome! I do know the ACdb has an option to add tags to collections? I'm not sure if it actually does that in Emby as well, but it seems like tags for collections still exist in some type of way? Either way, for the customization I'm going for, a feature like this would massively simplify my collections!

The way I understand it is that I can have up to 5 devices in the free version in to which I can access my emby server library. When try to access on another device I get a pop-up that says this feature is only available with a premiere subscription. What am I missing here?

Here you go version 4.46! I would post a changelog, but this is pretty much a complete rewrite, I don't think anything was spared from updates. If you find any issues, please let me know. A Lot of work and banging my head into the keyboard went into this. @GrimReaperCould you please change the title of this post to "Emby Theme: Retro Navy & Gold (W/ Seasonal Themes), and also post this version on page 1? maybe also add some text to check the thread for updates? Thanks! Emby Navy and Gold v4.46.css

It showed the new tags, I think I figured it out.. it's not showing the meta data from the theme.mp3 files. maybe also backdrops/theme.mkv files too?

Yea this is a good way of doing it. A little verbose, especially if it wraps to multiple lines on a small screen. But it’s effective.

I completely understand, and want to be able to achieve exactly the same. This worked in the early Emby beta to assign a tag to that collection, but they removed that option in an update. I believe this might still be available under the hood, for example to add a subtitle is still possible to achieve even though Emby removed that option from the native menus. I have focused on other things for the plugin, but now might be a good time to start investigate this a bit more!

Hello @SamES i just found this thread while looking for reporting about this problem which a user with a Samsung tv reported to me. Is it still true that you can’t troubleshoot that? Audio transcoding is enabled for that user, so if Samsung tv has problems with aac >160kb bit rate it should be converted by the server? this does not seem to happen. BR

Hi. There is already an option for this in Display Settings.

The Roku will always show the forced ones. Their player takes that tag literally and forces the display of those subs.

Even if it was a week later?

@Luke I am running Emby 4.9.3 on a WD My Cloud EX 2 Ultra, OS 5. I see there is a new/updated version 4.10.?? Is this newer version ok to run on my NAS? How do I get the newer version? It may help me with these pesky playlist issue(s) I am experience, do you think so? I also attached the server log, hoping this will let you see my problem embyserver (4).txt

I did not check my other two Apple TV's yet, but the main one I use had this issue as well. Did mostly the same troubleshooting, restarting apple tv, force closing app, re-installing app, rebooting/confirming Onkyo sound setting, and asked my friend of shared server if there were issues on their side and there wasn't. Googled the issue this was top of the search feed and can confirm as well: I was able to get audio to work only if I changed Audio Format in the Apple TV settings. It was set to auto as well and changing it to Convert to Dolby Digital or Stereo made it work.

Hey Luke. So at least I know I'm not doing something wrong! I'll look forward for this to be implemented in an update, hopefully soon.

I already did this a few weeks ago and it worked. The movie appeared in two versions to choose from in Emby. I recreated the MKV file (there was a problem during the initial creation) and now the file no longer appears in Emby.

The more complex the code introduced, the more likely it is some unexpected/unintended results will occur down the line. That said: v0.8 - Complete GUI overhaul (you won't be able to skip over Import Mode now ) emby_album_tag_importer.py

I was experimenting with the Home Screen Companion plugin, which requires at least the Emby Server 4.10.0.8 or better (i.e., beta). But I think Emby for Kodi (I tried the latest stable, beta, and public testing versions) does not work well with beta versions of the server: the scanning freezes at a certain point. There's no problem for the latest stable version of the server. Is there an Emby for Kodi version that works with beta versions of the server? (I'm trying the HSC plugin because Kodi takes up too much storage. And Kodi tends to slows down when I move its data to an attached fast USB drive.)

I was able to resolve the issue. I just accessed the TrueNas Jail and ran: pkg update -f pkg install dotnet8 libass fontconfig freetype2 mbedtls3 fribidi gnutls iconv opus sqlite3 libtheora libva ocl-icd libvorbis webp libzvbi libraw ImageMagick6 tesseract intel-media-sdk libunwind libinotify openssl icu krb5 libexif libjxl libheif libimagequant openexr openjpeg orc pango tiff This reinstalled the dependencies. After a restart of the Emby server, the Software decoders were present and my movies played.
