I'm using Seerr with Emby, it doesn't support emby connect logins. However, users of Emby are able to use their emby-connect credentials to authenticate via Seer's "log in with emby" option which doesn't yet support emby connect directly (https://github.com/seerr-team/seerr/pull/943) Is emby-server proxying the auth requests to emby-connect transparently?

Honestly its pretty cheap in my opinion. 1 or 2 euros/month and you get a lot of possibilities! https://docs.mdblist.com/docs/supporter Yeah, i see your point. Maybe you can look into the smart playlist plugin? That will create a collection using a lot of the available metadata. For the next release of AutoTag i have created an option to use already excisting collection as a source, so you can then easily tag the items from a collection. Already ready for the next release. Expect to release/comple it by tomorrow.

@Lukecare you chime in here? Are there any plans to have this issue resolved in an upcoming update?

MDBList is free if all you use are the public lists, which there are many great and well maintained lists for almost anything I've ever searched for Once you found a list you like, all you need is the public URL to pop into AutoTag.

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

Hi, also what example are we focusing on here?

We do bug them every couple weeks and ask for status updates.

This appears to have worked.

This issue has popped up again, but not as duplicate songs, but as duplicate movies. The difference with this duplication is that the entries themselves have different ID's. There are two files, but four entries: { "MediaSources": [ { "Chapters": [], "Protocol": "File", "Id": "mediasource_163617", "Path": "L:\\Media\\Movies\\Return To Silent Hill (2026)\\Return To Silent Hill (2026) -

These seem to occur much more often with items that have been recently added to Emby rather than older items as well. Has the item/media discovery changed since the last update(s) perhaps?

Would love to see this added! There is a new "Xtream Tuner" Live TV plugin for Emby being tested that's just waiting to use this feature.

@visproductionsubtitles aside, how do you explain that there is no audio when playing Come Fly With Me when there is only external srt subtitle present? This is what Emby supports.

I cannot fathom how someone can suggest, that the preferred fix is to (manually or with scripting) demux, alter and remux every single video file that we have and will ever acquire in the future. That is not happening, and I will be moving to Jellyfin or Plex within the week if this isn't fixed by then. I can't watch anything, unless I set it to transcode, which breaks HDR for most files, and besides my server hardware is simply not beefy enough to transcode 4K HDR with subtitle burn-in on top. With so much of the good content coming out having non-English speaking roles or such a terrible audio mix that you can't hear what is said half the time, subtitles are critical for the viewing experience. Waiting months for functioning subtitles is crazy for a media server service, regardless of whether it's LG or Emby that is at fault. FYI: I haven't updated my TV since I installed the last version, so it has to be Emby that has messed something up. I always update the TV and Emby app at the same time precisely for this reason.

@FrostByteand @Lukethis wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t taking months and months for samsung to do anything. My TV aint that old it’s a 2022 Art Frame which I paid a pretty penny for. Feels we are being treated like second class citizens by Samsung as all we want is our trailers back and via an easy to install App Store process to avoid constant sideloads. Not too much to ask I thought. Any help on leaning on Samsung appreciated

Well, from what was said upthread it sounds like MDBList costs a bit of money, and then the time to go through and curate it all...which, as I said, seems pointless when Emby already has the information I'm trying to use. I have a lot of my own subgenres that I've added, on top of everything Emby has already scraped, and things like the date media was added to my server are obviously not going to be available to an external source. If the horror spotlight is all I have for scheduled, sure, but once you start adding more scheduled spotlights the scheduling for the fallback becomes pretty unwieldy. Oscars spotlight early in the year, maybe birthday spotlights for some of my favorite actors and directors, horror in October, noir in November, Christmas/New Year's... But then, if there's no way to tag things using the Emby metadata, I'm not sure how many of those are even feasible. Yeah, I was going to bring that up too. Everything is just labeled as “spotlight” at the moment so it's basically impossible to know what's what.

Hi, we have an update in Samsung review. If you want to update now you can grab the usb build from our website.

API key: At the top of the plugin-page you have a "Help" button, there you have instructions and links how to obtain the API key. For Trakt, just give it a name and leave everything blank. For the redirect you have to put something in, just type "http://localhost" It would be awesome to have all this functionality, but it's a lot of work and time that i dont have. And purpose of this plugin is to use list from MDBList that have all of these options avalibale. Create your own list at MDBList (there is tons of filtering options!) and just put the URL into AutoTag. If you have two entries using the same name/tag, they will all get the same tag end get "mixed". If you give two entries same collection name, i'm not sure what will happen to be honest.. I see your point, and it's not a bad idéa. Maybe somwhere down the road i'll look into it. At the moment there are more urgent things to do. At the end you could quite easily set this up yourself if you put a little effort into sorting the tags/scheduels. For ex have a "standard" spotligt active during jan-sep and nov-dec. During october you have your "horror spotlight". And if David Lych dies, create a new spotligt with his movies, and just disable the standard spotligt. I might look into the option to separate the name of each entry and the tag-name for better overview in the UI. This will enable to have two separate entries that both tag "spotligt" but in the UI you could name them "horror spotlight" and standard spotlight".

True it expires after 30 days of compilation, but just temporary until the store gets updated. I guess it depends on how important trailers are to someone. Especially for those of us with TVs that are 4+ years old because they are no longer supported by Samsung's normal testing and Luke has to do a special request to update older TVs.

Tat, Your transcode log shows media with 25 graphic subtitles. I would guess that can cause problems. Try removing the subtitles from the content using mkvtools or getting a similar size demo test videos from online and see if either of these new media files play the audio correctly I am guessing that Emby might be looking at the default embedded subtitle and then try to convert it. Perhaps the other 24 graphic subtitles might need to be scanned for default status and just doing that for so many subs might cause a problem. This situation is typical with content pulled from a blu-ray. All those subtitles work fine with a blu-ray player, but are not nice with streaming playback.

I don't know haproxy. Are you explicitly setting the backend ports like in the example? backend web_servers mode http balance roundrobin server s1 192.168.1.25:80 check server s2 192.168.1.26:80 check server s3 192.168.1.27:80 check

@FrostBytejumping in here - that is a pain in the backside as it keeps timebombing and you have to continue to sideload. It was be a lot easier if someone could apply some pressure for Samsung to pull finger and release this as it’s been months and months

Thats actually part of my confusion. The backend in HaProxy for emby is set to port 8096, and I noticed too that it was only reaching out on 443. Same scenario actually on the other web server I have. Its set to port 80 on its backend, but the capture I ran on that vm showed 443 reaching out as well.

Why not load the usb version until they get the one in the store updated?

@iMaks533@LukeI'm currently also experiencing issues uploading a webp as an image (primary, logo, etc). Looks like a check in the JS is failing: apiclient.js:1 Uncaught Error: File must be an image. at ApiClient.uploadItemImage (apiclient.js:1:56394) at HTMLFormElement.onSubmit (imageuploader.js:1:2659) Pinpointing this to `apiclient.js` on line : if ("image/png" !== file.type && "image/jpeg" !== file.type && "image/jpeg" !== file.type) throw new Error("File must be an image."); Image/jpeg also exists twice in this line? Did someone maybe accidentally remove image/webp? If I can be so bold, I'd suggest rewriting this to an "includes" method: if (["image/jpeg", "image/jpg", "image/webp"].includes(file.type) == false) throw new Error("File must be an image."); That keeps issues like this from happening because it's much more readable.

Your capture is showing port 443 as the destination on your Emby host when it should be 8096. Port 443 should be the public endpoint, not the internal one. Internet <--> :443 (haproxy) <--> :8096 (emby)

Since its working fine for your user, I would try to log in as your user on her devices to see if the same issues persist. If not than it is some user setting you have set for her user that's causing the issue.
