I like a "Clean and Focused" interface. I only want to see things that I need/want to watch. If it's watched, it has no reason to be on my home page. Right now I'm looking at "Recently Released Movies" and I have seen every single movie displayed. Why are they still there? They should go away and make room for the next movies down the list so that I have more options to choose from. Similar with Collections. If I've marked every movie in the collection as Watched, then the Collection should be marked as watched (which it doesn't look like that can be done), and the collection should no longer be displayed in that section on the Home Screen. I will say that I DO like that both those areas display far more items than the "Latest XXXXXX" sections. Is removing these possible? Did I miss a setting or something?

Star Wars - A New Hope (1977)

I did the scan, and here's the log. If you need anything else for the diagnosis, just let me know. embyserver.txt

A long time ago (like YEARS) I made some modification SOMEWHERE that increased the number of items displayed in Continue Watching to 50. I have NO idea where I made that change, but I'd like to make similar changes for the "Latest XXXX" sections as well. I have an Ultrawide screen and they don't even fill up the screen which just annoys me, and I like to have lots of options. Sometimes, particularly at the start of a new season all my stuff I was watching gets shoved off screen and I have to go track them down to finish watching the last episode or two. Anyone know where such a change can be made? I am pretty sure it was server side, but I could be wrong. I primarily use Emby on my Windows11 PC. I switch between the web version and Emby Theater. It depends what I'm watching and if it's HDR or not.

Follow-up: Bridge approach for Dune player integration — any API guidance available? Hi, I posted the question below a few weeks ago but haven't received any response yet. I completely understand that the development team is busy, and I don't want to be a nuisance — but I wanted to check whether this topic is on anyone's radar, or whether there is perhaps a better place to direct this kind of API question. In short, we are exploring a bridge approach that would intercept a playback event via the Emby API and launch the Dune player on an R_volution device with the direct file path and subtitle URL passed as parameters. The two specific questions we are hoping to get guidance on are: Does Emby support webhooks or API callbacks that fire when playback is initiated on a specific device? Is there an API endpoint that returns the direct file path or network URL for a given media item? Any pointer — even just to the relevant section of the API documentation — would be very helpful. Thank you for a great product, and for your time.

Proxys are not my strong suit but isn't it possible to white/black list client types?

What's the name of the folder?

Good afternoon, Just checking in on this issue - something to be tracked as a bug, so the subtitle search works properly from the Metadata Manager? Are there other logs/debugging details I can capture for further research? Thank you, Snake

I'm having the same issue. Movie is there. Extras are showing up fine. Add a new version of the movie and both movies appear as versions of the same title as expected but the extras no longer appear as extras. instead, each video in the extras folder appears as separate movie title.

I could still confirm this issue under 4.9.3.0 (production) and 4.10.0.4 (beta), unfortunately. The suspicion of a frontier LLM on the underlying cause is "ffdetect probes encoders via libmfx, and libmfx still doesn't enumerate Arc A310 encode".

However, I attached the encoders array from the log, where all the action happens.

Thanks encoders.json

The HTML rendering is built into their client. As far as Emby server knows, the web browser, it uses a user-agent and connects to the API endpoint. Same as every other app whether web based, or Roku based, or iOS based, or etc. They all use the API endpoints and http connections. They send the server a user-agent and an authorization. Combined that grants you access to your user and you log in. If you wish to disable users from being able to change things you can disable this on their user. You cannot disable their client from rendering HTML because that isn't how this works. You can only disallow them access to the API or restrict their access to certain API calls by changing their user settings. That is how it is meant to work.

But that doesn't make any difference to anything, as you've been told a dozen times already.

The timings I was referring relate to the earlier post and from the timestamp I see for you being at GMT-4, it was at 17:39 with the emby server log covering time to 17:37 and season 15 was removed at 17:27, added and rescanned at 17:30 and all markers were in place by 17:32:28 - so issue was resolved then What happened before that is unknown as we have no logs covering the times when each of the 8 episodes added to the library So be on the lookout for such issues and capture the logs soon. We keep logs for 3 days by default - these would be named embyserver.txt for the latest and embyserver-xxxxx.txt for earlier with logs cycled every 24 hours

It would remove access to the HTML web interface, but its not manageable, as I have to do it AFTER each user has already connected once per browser device, and the user could simply use a different browser, it would be easier to have a setting to simply disable HTML web access per user or globally.

How should I know? You presumably contacted them to get your login initially. I should also point out that if they sold you a service they are violating the terms and conditions for the use of Emby's software, which is intended for private use. Paul

You are mentioning "search". The .embyignore feature described here Excluding Files & Folders enables to have files and folders excluding from libraries. It is not for search exclusion. There is a global search exclusion feature that operates at library level. So you can have a library excluded from search by enabling the option in the library preferences/settings, see So if want your folders to only be restricted and excluded when searching, I would suggest moving them to another path and create a separate library for them and enable the option to exclude from global search for the library To exclude folders from libraries, you can use .embyignore So create an .embyignore with contents being /name-of-excluded-folder1 /name-of-excluded-folder2 and place this .embyignore parent folder. This could be a root folder for the library, if the two folders are immediately below that If a folder to be excluded is at a lower directory level and you want to place your .embyignore in a library root folder, then the .embyignore would need to be like this /name-of-excluded-folder1 /a-folder/name-of-excluded-folder2 I will look into adding more examples in the support article

Thank you Paul. Do you know how I find that person. I use everyting3.1 regards deirdre

Are you using a server you installed yourself or someone else's? In the second case you need to contact the admin of the server concerned. Paul

AFTER I DID THIS ^ THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED: (for some reason, trying to partial quote a 2nd response is overwriting the text above, so...) After deleting & adding Season 15, I started played S15E07 and the `Skip Intro` button was there. This should be all the evidence you need. It DID work on reprocessing. There is nothing further to look into at this point. --- Unfortunately, I no longer have logs from the original import of any of these episodes, so I cannot post them to troubleshoot why it didn't generate the markers the first time through. I will continue to monitor shows as I import them to see if I find any that do not get a Skip Intro marker and will report back ASAP with the original import log. I really appreciate your dogged tenacity in wanting to dig further into this, but at this point, there is nothing further to dig into. It is now working as expected, but I'll keep my eyes open for any future failure and report back ASAP if I find one.

But you don't need to do that! It doesn't achieve anything!

If there were an option to deny access to web interface, that would be fine, however that doesn't seem to be the case, I can only restrict devices after they have already connected

I think its there, in case you have multi selected 10 items. Then you can skip that 1 and continue with the last 9.

What's the difference between “Skip” and “Cancel”?

Not if I have something on my watchlist because I want to re-watch it.

That was it, many thanks.
