Hi There Please does any one have unlimited credits via work or some such. Am retired now so i don't get access for free I am looking for a placeholder template video for a plugin i am making to manage coming soon movies so users know the movies coming. My current one is bit barren. coming_soon.mp4 Suggested prompt A wide-angle, eye-level shot from the perspective of a person sitting in an empty movie theatre, looking directly at the stage. The focal point is a pair of closed, vintage, textured dark red velvet theatre curtains with gold fringe occupying entire screen, the view stays in situ for the entire video. The curtains slowly open, smoothly bunching tightly to the left and right sides of the frame. Behind the curtains, a solid black background is revealed. Elegant, sparkling and glowing golden "Coming Soon" text dynamically animates onto the centre of the black screen, stays static and pauses for two seconds. The heavy velvet curtains then smoothly close back together, returning to the start position. 1080p resolution mp4, 15 seconds long. thank you

Thanks guys, checked the file and Asustor file permissions and they look fine. I still think it has to do with Emby on Shield ATV, remember when I first enter Emby it displays "Unable to connect to configure server with the (server name)" for a second or two and then disappears. I never saw this message when I ran Emby server on my old Qnap NAS. Thanks

Hello Guynamedg, ** This is an auto reply ** Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you. It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread: Thank you. Emby Team

Somehow I have ended up with Emby installed in 2 locations C:\users.....\Roaming... and also D:\Users....\Roaming... (Win 11) Probably due to this I was having a lot of issues with emby server not being able to start. So I wanted to completely uninstall and the reinstall the server. The Uninstall went as expected and uninstalled the D:\ version. I attempted to uninstall the C:\ version by going to C:\users.....\Roaming\Emby-server\System and running MediaBrowser.unistaller.exe but that produces the error "Please us 'Programs and Features' to uninstall" If I go to Apps>Installed Apps I can surprisingly, still see Emby Server, clicking uninstall gives the error message "Windows cannot find D:\users......MediaBrowser.unistaller.exe" Which makes sense because it was uninstalled. Is there a way around this loop?

My bad embyserver.txt

I would use MediaInfo app to examine the file and check the bit rate. Check it vs a 4k file that plays well.

Clear your browser cache and it should work Edit: Misunderstood you. Working on a fix!

Awesome, Thanks! Not sure if this is unique to me, but I updated the plugin, and I noticed the target user for the playlists is cut off. I can't scroll down to select my primary user:

@BarneyGumble Try the latest beta in the catalog v5.54.4 and see if that fixes the problem.

Yeah I looked over the code and noticed that the "update playlist" wasn't included in the full sync. Should be fixed with latest release. When an item is removed from the source its also removed from the playlist. The order is something I have too dig a bit deeper into... Thanks for reporting!

Yes, with specific example, not in general terms. how to report a media playback issue

Problem: When changing the remote (cellular) playback bitrate while in the middle of watching a video, the video that has already been transcoded at the previous bitrate continues to play, not respecting the new bitrate setting. The expected behavior is for the video transcoded at the previous bitrate be discarded and transcoding at the new bitrate to begin immediately. It should behave in this way when either of the different playback birate settings (home streaming quality, remote quality, remote (cellular) quality, and Chromecast quality) no longer match the transcoded stream's bitrate. Steps to reproduce: From an Emby client, begin to play a video - make sure that you are not using Direct Play. Let it play for several minutes at least to allow the transcoding to develop a significant cache of transcoded video. From this Emby client, go into settings and change playback bitrate for the type of stream that you are using (home, remote, remote (cellular), Chromecast). I see this when reducing the bitrate on remote (cellular) stream but I assume it works the same way for all of these streaming categories. Go back and resume playing that video. Observe that the bitrate has not changed. Instead it is continuing to use the video that had already been transcoded for this stream, which is at the previous bitrate. Please let me know if you would like logs.

Hello! Yes the “Run Group” button initially builds the playlist with the correct tags in the correct order (as they appear from the source link). However, as that external source list updates day to day, the schedule tasks do not automatically update the playlist. They update the tags correctly but not the playlist itself. Only when I manually press the “Run Group” button does the playlist update with the additional content. Furthermore, manually running the “Run Group” a second time after content is added does not update the playlist order, it simply appends the new content to the end of the playlist. An edge case I have not tested yet is I am not sure what happens if you press the “Run Group” button when content is later removed from the sourced list. I do not know if it will remove the content from the already built playlist.

I think things changed with 4.9 where "tmdb + id" was implemented. I also see a lot of file system duplicates. But not duplicates in emby. yet another thing not disclosed in a update post from the Emby team. Come to think of it, nothing was disclosed about the update from 4.8 to 4.9 Not even a blog.

Please add a confirmation dialog to Remove From Collection option. This option appears, when available, at the bottom of the options list but Refresh Metadata is normally there in all other cases. Someone working too quickly to refresh metadata can accidentally remove the items from the collection.

Tried the new version, it still times out a lot, sent two lots of diag information. this was using a the connection on my local network. will give a try later with a remote setup and android auto and will report back. Also to use it remotely, I need to log out and back in to reset the connection as my external url does not work on my local network, so maybe you could have an option of a main and backup server with auto switching?

Gotcha!

It is complex and requires to setup things outside emby. I use it on Synology where I can easily setup self-signed certificate to enable SSL. Would be great to have the same here, just to not have password floating in clear text...

Sorry, keyword should have been "service". https://emby.media/support/articles/Run-as-Windows-Service.html Paul

Hi, I don’t want to remove the library as it’s setup correctly, just the folder location changed. I added the new folder and removed the old one and that worked, but there is an edit icon for a reason I figure and it’s not allowing editing was what I was trying to report.

Hi there! You just need to remove it and then add the new one. N.

The online site to check for acceptable color contrast is: https://www.siegemedia.com/contrast-ratio#%230B0D10-on-%232B3643 You need to be > 3.0 contrast. The colors from the theme are used in this test page link and they are only rated at 1.58. All the other black on dark blue background texts on the page, also fail. This is not enough contrast and these style choices are technically design errors. It is a lot of work to get all texts to work on all backgrounds with theme design. The online Contrast ratio site is helpful. Getting all the admin texts to work is also quite tricky, because there are many div and class styles in the admin dashboard. I've attached the section I use in my State Street theme to adjust all the admin dashboard texts. This covers most color styles for text and backgrounds for the admin dashboard and can maybe be helpful in updating your style theme colors. Most all of the texts in my theme are using ivory. color:#FFFFF0; Pick whatever color you prefer that passes the online, contrast ratio test and replace #FFFFF0; Tweak whatever you need on the background colors. Try adding the newly edited css style excerpt into your css theme update somewhere at the bottom of the file. Hopefully, the excerpt will start working for most all the admin text areas.

Suspect file permissions need to be set correctly in Asustor NAS. see: https://www.asustor.com/en/online/College_topic?topic=110
