Hi there, that's a great idea. This will be used as the completion marker for a television series. Could you add it to the Emby catalog. Thanks.

Another vote for this, as described here https://emby.media/community/topic/148091-display-reason-for-bitrate-exceeds-directplay-limit/

I noticed that the universal Android app has grey bars during HRD video playback on Sony TVs. Kodi had a similar issue due to some sort of rendering method on Sony TVs and various other devices. An overlay setting was added to Kodi's advanced settings.xml file that allowed that to be dealt with. Attached are images showing the same HDR content played back on each of the apps on an older yet still highly capable Sony TV.

Coming from a duplicate topic I made, I hope they add a "Use modified date" option in the "Date added behavior for new content" menu which is located in the advanced library settings. With that option I will be able to see all modified content for all types, specially for music, as I always edit the tags or when a file is replaced by a different one, for example when I replace an MP3 file with a FLAC file, the idea is to be able to play that content directly from the "Latest" rows on Emby home without having to search for each item:

Attaching screen shot of phone playing the same movie missing the offset option.

Okay, now I'm getting really confused. When I watch something in my web browser, I have the offset option and inside the "Subtitle Appearance" I found the position settings. I'm attaching a screen shot of Cabin in the Woods in 4K, showing the offset options with embedded SRT subtitles in a MKV container. Another odd thing is that when I play the same movie on my Android phone, I am missing the offset option. It is also missing on my TV. I have Emby for AndroidTV and Emby for Android installed. I know that Emby for my TV used to have it because I've used it and even when searching / downloading subtitles in the past I've had to use the offset option to sync them while playing a movie. None of the Emby versions seem to be consistent with how they manage subtitles or allow users to manipulate them.

Please create a new thread with specific details (screen shot). Thanks.

There is now a setting that the admin can use to take care of that.

This is expected behavior. An internal subtitle that is not in sync should be extremely rare.

@ CBers, where would be the proper place to report the grey letterboxing on Sony TVs for the universal Android version?

Just following up to let you know I'm still hoping for an update that gets Trakt connectivity working again.

This is a Windows Powershell script to update all episodes of a series to match the episode's original air date pulled from Emby's database. You need to create an API code to connect to your Emby server installation. It will create a .json file on first run to save your server settings. The script will ask for your server's IP and API code, Emby's file path, and the Windows file path for the same content. After that, you type in the name of the series, and you will have the option to do a preview scan or a live run. After the preview scan, you can also do the live run. I've run it on several of my shows, and it appears to be working rather well. Use with caution, of course. This is my first-ever PowerShell script. Example of the .json file it creates: { "EmbyPathRoot": "/mnt/TV/", "EmbyUrl": "http://###.###.###.###:8096/", "WindowsPathRoot": "\\\\Tower\\TV\\", "ApiKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" } /mnt/TV/ is the Emby path to the TV files, and \\Tower\TV\ is the Windows path.

A big 100+ page thread here, which discusses the differences between the Emby for Android TV (ATV) app and the Universal Android (Standard) app. It's probably about 50/50 as to which app people prefer.

FYI, Emby for Android on Sony TVs has grey letterboxes during playback. Emby for Android TV has proper black letterboxes. Emby for Android has some nice UI features like viewing actors while a show is playing, but the for ATV version will pause playback when you try to view actors. There are some other UI differences as well. I'd prefer to use the standard Android version, but since I have Sony TVs and don't want grey letterboxes, I'll be using the for ATV version.

Hi I have tried both TVDB and MovieDB as Episode Metadata Downloaders and neither pulling in genre info. Have confirmed that they both have genre info related to TV episodes. As a test, I deleted a genre in one of my old episodes, that already had complete genre information, and asked Emmy to refresh the metadata for that episode, hoping it will pull in the genre I deleted. Once refresh was completed, I checked out the episode and it never pulled in the genre I deleted. System stopped pulling in genres for Dutton Ranch, Marshals, Your Friends and Neighbours, For All Mankind, Legend of Vox Machina, to name a few.

I’ve added a “Music” directory which plays my extensive mp3 classical music files through my great speaker setup. Sweet!

That behavior is possible. “Alexa, stop/pause/resume” are Alexa-level media commands, not necessarily Ear Wax skill commands. Alexa decides which active speaker or media session those commands apply to, and in multi-Echo setups it may control a different Echo than expected. For clean Ear Wax testing, please use the full skill form: Alexa, ask Ear Wax to pause Alexa, ask Ear Wax to resume Alexa, ask Ear Wax to stop Bare commands may still work, especially “next,” but they are routed by Alexa’s media-control layer before Ear Wax gets involved. If playback behaves strangely after a bare command, retest the same action using the full “ask Ear Wax” command so we know the skill handled it directly.

Nice to hear it's working, enjoy!

I followed this topic because I have the same issue. Since this is going a while I had shortly the oportunity to use my phone in an car with Android Auto (Connected via USB). When I start the FLAC Albums from the car head unit it will play the album completely fine, if I start the same album direct from my phone 2 songs and thats it. I don`t know if this helps for the case but like to share the knowledge.

I am looking to display an image inline on a plugin config page. Currently targeting 4.9.1.90 and the GenericEditFrameWork as shown off in the SDK demo Ideally i would like to place an image (a movie poster image to be exact) in the the nested list with buttons (perhaps instead of the stock icon?), but failing that i can settle for just any method of displaying a poster anywhere. Is this possible without reverting to http/js config pages? (please bear in mind i dont fully understand the terminology i am using so i might be making mistakes, hopefully you get my drift) Thank you

Ik heb weer een bestand dat niet afspeeld in Emby app op de lg tv, tot 2x geprobeerd heel vervelend want op de Android app speelt het wel meteen af. Het gebeurt de laatste tijd steeds vaker

Looks like it works like a charm ! I've tested Posters only as I don't use overlays on thumbs and banners. Cheers @yocker
