Almost two years after this thread (which, itself, was a continuation of an older thread) and the problem is still there... Meanwhile a myriad of players have popped up on every platform, and most -if not all- of them support audio delay adjustment because, of course, it's such a basic feature.

Two and a half years after this thread was opened, for something seemingly simple to fix...

Hi All, I have a couple of quick questions: Firstly: is there a way I can set a profile image for a user on Emby Server, or are the profile images only able to be set by the users themselves? Secondly: when playing music video's, frequently the refresh rate of the videos changes fro video to video and a pop-up appears on the screen announcing the new refresh rate. Is there a way to disable this pop-up notification? Thanks! Kev

Web UI seems ok on .22, from Android App still seems to lock up the server for others.

OMG! Thanks! I was bumming. I would have never thought to look in the web interface settings to remove it from the Apple TV interface. I was looking everywhere in the Apple TV app.

Just change "Live TV" to None

I appreciate the recent work on this. In my initial testing of 22 I do feel a moderate improvement, but still a handful of searches (mostly small/common words) will timeout, and will hold up the server while searching (although the timeout limit seems to be reduced, leading to less time blocking the server for others). I do like the recently searched section though! Not sure when that was added, but it does seem to have a few issues I can post in a different thread. The loading of this list alone takes almost 15 seconds for me, so that kinda seems like it might add to the timeouts if a search happens before this list loads. I'm still continuing to test and collect feedback from my other users.

Things like this is why I left Plex. I'm not interested in live TV. Yet, this is front and center and can't be removed.

Can we get this on the roadmap? It's been like 7 or 8 months now.

Kind of looks ok now or maybe I just got used to it. Can be disregarded.

Hi, this has been added as part of the upcoming 4.10 release. Thanks.

Hi, no, this isn't true. They are not related to each other. The upcoming 4.10 release will have more control over home screen sections.

@LonelyCat?

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

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

Many times there are no thumbnails for a movie or TV show but there are backgrounds in TMDB can be used for it but Emby doesn't search TMDB for thumbnails as fast as I know. Just an example is Spider Man Brand New Day: If you select English or whatever you have backgrounds with text in English, which can be used as thumbnails. I hate manually adding thumbnails via this method and hope Emby can incorporate this as it wouldn't require much coding to get this going. Thanks!

Here's a polished Emby Community forum post that would fit well in the Tools & Utilities section. It explains what the project is, who it's for, and gives users enough information to get started without overwhelming them. EmbyVision OCR (GPU Edition) — NVIDIA GPU Accelerated OCR for Emby Credits Detector Hello everyone! I'm excited to share EmbyVision OCR (GPU Edition), a standalone OCR microservice designed specifically to work alongside the Emby Credits Detector plugin. EmbyVision OCR uses PaddleOCR with NVIDIA CUDA acceleration to provide fast, AI-powered text recognition from video frames, helping improve end credit detection while significantly reducing OCR processing time compared to CPU-based solutions. What is EmbyVision OCR? EmbyVision OCR is a lightweight REST API that performs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on video frames. Instead of relying on traditional OCR engines, it uses PaddleOCR's deep-learning models running on your NVIDIA GPU for improved speed and recognition accuracy. The service runs independently in Docker and integrates directly with the Emby Credits Detector plugin. Features NVIDIA GPU accelerated OCR CUDA + cuDNN support AI-powered PaddleOCR engine Fast OCR processing Designed specifically for Emby Credits Detector Docker deployment Persistent AI model storage Automatic model downloads REST API Self-hosted Privacy focused Works great on Unraid Requirements This edition requires: NVIDIA GPU NVIDIA Driver NVIDIA Container Toolkit Docker Emby Server Emby Credits Detector plugin Docker Image Sizes CPU Edition: • Image: ghcr.io/encryptedcity/embyvision-ocr:latest • Size: 1.89 GB • Requirements: Any Docker host • GPU: Not required • CUDA/NVIDIA Runtime: Not required GPU Edition: • Image: ghcr.io/encryptedcity/embyvision-ocr-gpu:latest • Size: 8.34 GB • Requirements: NVIDIA GPU + Container Toolkit • CUDA acceleration enabled Not Supported This edition will NOT work with: AMD GPUs Intel GPUs / Arc CPU-only systems If you do not have an NVIDIA GPU, please use the CPU Edition instead.

Feature requests, bug reports, testing feedback, and suggestions are all welcome. If you give it a try, I'd love to hear how it performs on your hardware and whether it improves credit detection in your libraries. Happy scanning!

It's been a few years already, can we prioritize this feature? I had that the subtitles are on the video when there's black space on the screen.

4.9 and above cannot identify and play BDMV. I think few people in the forum respond to this problem. Is it because no one has BDMV movies? The fact is that all versions above 4.9 cannot recognize the source information of the BMDV, resulting in incorrect playback. I have stayed in version 4.8.11 for a long time now. Only this version and the previous version are normal. Google ai told me that it is because the Bluray Folder Support plug-in is incompatible with the new version. Even if I see that the Bluray Folder Support plug-in in the new version has also been updated to 1.0.5, it is still not possible. Hope it can be resolved. The first figure can correctly identify information and play it, while the second figure above 4.9 cannot identify BDMV information.

When I try to log in on my Android TV, it simply says “Incorrect password.” The strange thing is that the exact same credentials work perfectly on my phone. I also tried using the Forgot Password option on the Android TV, but it just returns an error. I’ll upload a screenshot of that error shortly. Could this be related to the server somehow?

I dont notice much change.... .some 22 searches still lock up the server for other users. searching for: black mirror -near instant results searching for: black -locks things up for ~60sec until it shows results

Some more details around what exactly happens when you try to log in - any error message, server logs, screenshots would be helpful. How to Report a Problem

The BDMV information cannot be correctly identified in the version above 4.9, even if the Bluray Folder is updated to 1.0.5. As mentioned above, I still use it in 4.8.11, and hope to solve it. It has been more than half a year. I didn't understand how an upgrade turned into a setback.

Thanks for the clarification. I noticed that the Home screen Movies row appears to respect the sort order configured for the Movies library. It would be nice if the Collections row worked the same way and used the sort order configured for the Collections library (e.g. Date Added). This would provide a more consistent user experience.

Didn't see as I only have one guide anyway. Rearranging isn't easy with long lists, as mentioned above. Maybe just add numbering down the left hand side and add a moving option - 'move to after number'...67 or whatever. Adding hover help, or whatever its called, to the = icon on the right would be nice. There's one for the three dots but I avoid the = in case its delete or something.
