Hey all! Thanks for all the compliments and kind words! I attached an updated RAR covering a few of the requests above. See below for notes. I'll check in every so often for updates and requests. Added two versions for sports, one for pro wrestling fans, one for everyone else Nice! Wasn't 100% sure what your use case was for these, but I took a guess and redid them in the same style as the rest of the set. Redid for consistency and added to the set. It really is a good idea! EmbyIcons_v6.7.rar

I use Chrome with the Duckduckgo extension. I do NOT play video much, except for brief tests, in my browser as the Emby clients I own are all vastly superior in picture and ease of use. I understand people, for one reason or another, wanting to use a browser for playback but I do not understand how either quality or ease of use could be one of the reasons. Shoot I even have a Fire stick plugged into my computer monitor for the rare times I want to play two different streams at the same time. Good clients are so cheap now days that having an extra that is only very rarely used is actually good economy.

I really love this plugin, it’s well designed and super flexible. I’m using MDBList-backed collections and the collection membership seems to be syncing correctly. The logs show items being added and removed from collections during Tag & Collection Sync, so that part looks like it’s working as expected. What I’m trying to figure out is whether I can sync or rebuild the item order within a collection based on the source list. For example, if an MDBList is sorted by Popularity, Trending, or Random, the collection membership in Emby updates, but the order of items shown in the collection doesn’t seem to change. Even when using an MDBList with Random sorting, running multiple syncs doesn’t appear to affect the collection order. Does the plugin currently: Sync only collection membership (adding and removing items)? Preserve and apply the ordering from the MDBList source? Have an option to rebuild or reorder collections during each sync so the Emby collection matches the source list order? If this isn’t supported right now, is there a recommended way to handle collections that are meant to follow a changing order from MDBList instead of just keeping the same membership? Thanks.

Righto. "This requires the loading of a plugin and proper setup of your libraries which is shown below." So if it takes a plugin, I don't understand the "Through our normal use of Open Subtitles." part when I asked if it required a plugin.

Thanks for sharing.

no worries, and I completely understand. I hope that the plugin doesn't break until the emby devs decide to implement something similar.

Hola @MediaEmby1968, tambien anduve buscando y no encontre nada, y al no saber que hacer lo deje, hoy leo tu mensaje y no se si seria buena idea reportarlo en tema de las traducciones, no es algo serio, pero ya que se hace, mejor hacerlo bien, ¿que opinas?. Un saludo.

I'm really sorry but, i don't want to be the cause of trouble for the developers of Emby. I'm running through some ideas in my head for a key system for it, sadly such things are easily hacked. At any rate, the plugin should work for a good while still as i don't think Emby still change much in any way that will impact the plugin. Good idea, I might just do that.

I only use the Transcode Notifications and Resolution Blocking features, which would be really nice to be part of the core server, but until that ever happens I hope a minimal version of the plugin can be made available with just what's in the Notifications tab of the plugin.

French version : Salut tout le monde! Je vais essayer de faire court : J'avais mon serveur emby sur mon synology avec beaucoup de videos, j'ai eu un souci en janvier qui m'a obliger à refaire ma config emby, j'y ai perdu beaucoup de videos et j'ai donc dû reprendre à nouveaux certaines videos. Mon probleme vient du fait que seules les "nouvelles" videos (qui n'ont jamais été presentes auparavant sur mon serveur emby) apparaissent lors d'un tri par "date d'ajout", les videos que j'avais déjà eu, elles, apparaissent bien lorsque je fais une recherche, mais n'apparaissent hélas pas comme "derniers éléments ajoutés" J'ai l'impression que lorsque j'ai dû refaire ma config, un fichier de la base de donnée precedente est toujours present et empêche mes rajouts recents (mais déjà presents avant ma panne) d'apparaitrent comme "nouveaux ajouts". je ne sais pas si c'est bien clair, désolé. English version (with translator): Hi everyone! I’ll try to keep this short: I had my Emby server running on my Synology with a lot of videos. I ran into an issue in January that forced me to reconfigure Emby; I lost a lot of videos in the process, so I had to re-add some of them. My problem is that only the “new” videos (ones that were never on my Emby server before) show up when I sort by “date added.” The videos I already had do show up when I search for them, but unfortunately they don’t appear under “recently added.” I get the impression that when I had to reconfigure everything, a file from the previous database is still present and is preventing my recent additions (which were already there before the outage) from appearing as “new additions.” I’m not sure if that makes sense; sorry. thanks Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Ah man, this is devastating. This plugin was an aboslute game changer for automatically limiting my kids screen time in exchange for chores. I was wondering why the repo was missing today.

Getting your Plugin in the catalog Basically write @ebrand ask politely.

"Side note... don't know why I'm trying to help a Dallas fan (sigh)" Because you are awesome. I believe Emby will do the local NFO saving if you turn that option on somewhere I was really hoping one of the admins would know how to use Swagger to just change the paths in the database Side note: Who's your team (city)?

I wonder if the Albumartist type is your friend in some circumstances to search the smaller subset of Album Artists quickly. No doubt i sometimes want content from an Artist but Albumartist is much more likely. note there is an issue it seems with having to use a userid but you you are

Thanks for confirming, i hope the team finds a way.

Tried a few others which I could not get working, hence the creation of this for my use, which I have decided to share, hopefully someone will get the use out of it. Instructions Open html page. Login to local server only, use http://ip:port User & Password These do not get saved, need to login each time. Your movie libraries should auto populate, check the libraries you wish to use. For first use, scroll down to the bottom and add your radar server/s if needed/wanted. Every time you use this, after login, scroll down and click test connection and make sure the connected - radarr Version number appears.. SECTION INSTRUCTIONS REFRESH PLAYLIST Select a playlist that already has been made and is within your Emby server, below select the franchise that you wish to use to place movies in order, eg Marvel Movies you would use Marvel Universe to place movies in correct order by clicking refresh. Result below will tell you the amount of movies that have been re-ordered chronologically. Create New Playlist From Franchise You can either search for a playlist or hit the search button and all available built in playlists/franchises will appear. Choose which one you want to create. Create Emby Playlist will appear with username and option to sort by franchise order or release year, plus option to rename the playlist. Click create playlist and the new playlist will appear in your Emby server. Result will appear below, all movies shown in green have been added, any appearing in red can be clicked to send to radarr, if more than one server has been added then a choice of server will appear. Once radarr has completed, use the refresh playlist to add the movie to the playlist. Manage Franchises. Here you can edit or add new franchises to create playlists. New button obviously does what it says. Click on a franchise and an editor box will appear. Here you can add, remove or re-order movies. Once saved they become custom playlists and are placed at the bottom of the list with a custom tag next to the name. No data is sent externally Bugs Sometimes it adds random movies, for example it adds RV to the end of the MCU, sometimes the movies all appear as green, for example Star Trek even though there will be missing movies. I had a bug where it sent a request to a 1080p server and it started downloading 4K. Changed settings within size limitations within radarr to stop that. IE maximised the min size for and 2160 files. Next update will include Option to make playlists from collections. Auto reconnect to radarr. Option to upload a csv file of more franchises. Option to add playlists to other user accounts.

So my understanding (how puny my brain maybe) when EMBY first scan's the folder let's say for movies, it connects to the themoviedb.org website and downloads all the metadata into a local .nfo file along side your video file. It then reads or inserts it into the the database permanently. My suggestion was to update your .nfo files and let EMBY just read an update the database locally. My understanding of this process may be wrong, but I have to do this recently and did not see any issue. Was also helpful to lock the the folder(s) from updating metadata. The other part is that from what I have experienced, you updating the metadata in the web application "shoud have" updated the local .nfo file next to the video file. I think there is a solution in here buried for you but I shall wait for smarter men & women to chime in. One last comment... you say "season" and again, somebody should chime in, sports are events, not caterogized as seasons in the traditional terminology Emby uses for TV shows. Event's really fall under the "Movies" categories: Example: Folder Name: UFC 32- Showdown In The Meadowlands (2001) -> FileName: UFC 32- Showdown In The Meadowlands (2001).mkv Side note... don't know why I'm trying to help a Dallas fan (sigh)

Keep in mind I went thru the same level of detail for the Mavericks, Stars and Rangers as well (just not as many games... only playoffs as there are so many more in a season) This is why I am hoping for a fix that I can reuse all my work

Ahh that follow up comment you made really helped me to understand about the script. I thought you were talking about a script to move nfo files into the database with the new location. Still not sure how to best do this tho.. I dont want to lose all my data

First of all, thank you so very much for trying to help and I think I understand what you are saying for the most part. I understand I can change the folder layout and let thesportsdb.com do their thing but that wont bring over all the work I did. The custom screen shots, the detailed info, etc... check this out: This is the level of data I have pianistically entered vs what thesportsdb.com has So you can see why I really dont want to use their metadata. Also, not sure what you meant by using a custom script for the nfo files. I dont have any nfo files all this is in the database

If you go the script route... those internal backslashes may become an issue.... find /path/to/folder -name "*.nfo" -exec perl -pi -e 's/J:\\TV\\NAS/\\NAS\\Media\\TV\NFL/g' {} + Again, encouraged to use IP Address instead of NAS. Would move a few folders over to a temp location for testing, but it seems the sportsdb.com metadata plugin seems a bit easier.

I could have sworn somewhere in the matrix they added the sportsdb.com as a metadata provider. My understanding was if you named the folders accordingly all would be well. I could be wrong. I was wrong once, but then my wife beat me. https://www.thesportsdb.com/browse.php?s=dallas+cowboys Ah, I C now... you have to add the sportsdb.com plugin and name the folders accordingly and life will be good. I'd back up the metadata stuff just in case. Alternatively, you need a custom script to (was SED?) to go through all your .nfo files update them with the new path. I don't imagine that would be too difficult for the linux programmer. For us mere mortals, claude maybe your friend if that is the route you wish to traverse. YMMV, use at your own PERIL!! Bash Script find /path/to/folder -name "*.nfo" -exec sed -i 's/OLD_STRING/NEW_STRING/g' {} + Breakdown: find /path/to/folder — searches recursively through all subdirectories -name "*.nfo" — targets only .nfo files -exec sed -i — runs an in-place edit on each file found 's/OLD_STRING/NEW_STRING/g' — replaces every occurrence of the old string with the new one {} + — passes all found files to the command efficiently Example — replacing "Director: Unknown" with "Director: John Doe": So in your case it "should" be: find /path/to/folder -name "*.nfo" -exec sed -i 's/J:\TV1\NFL\/\\NAS\Media\TV\NFL/g' {} + But again, YMMV. Also, I recommend to use an IP address instead of "NAS" in case you decided to do something different in the future and change again. It's just damn easier to assign a new device the old ip address and retire the old the one, but again, YMMV.

I'm using the latest "Emby for Android" app available in the Play Store on a Dune HD Pro 8K Plus device. The Dune HD device runs AOSP 11. I have the Emby app configured to use an external player for playback which is the Dune HD player. I do this because Dune's player has deeper integration with the device allowing for use of the VS10 engine among other reasons. This works well for playback, I've encountered no issues and everything plays as expected. What I have observed however is when using this external player, the played status of the videos never gets updated. I've noticed this with every video I've played going back a few months when I started using Emby on this device. I can watch a video until the credits roll and yet the status of the video is never updated to played. Is this expected with external players on Android devices?

It's an open point, I'm afraid. There's no way to display images at the moment.

I have not changed anything but a few days ago there was no longer any cover art anywhere with anything having to do with Live TV. On the Home Screen the "Now Showing" is all empty black boxes and when I go to the guide and click on a show or movie there is no art in the description window. I have no idea what is going on. I have refreshed the guide data multiple times and still nothing. I do not know if it is relevant but I am using Channels DVR to watch and record DirectTV Streaming. It has worked flawlessly for 10 months.
