For grins... I had this issue once but it did go away... Go to your server settings -> Network, and enter your server's IP address in the "Local IP address" box.

Stop tagging the Dev in every single post. Next time you do it, I'm locking this topic.

Yes, they are and have been all connected to the same network. As I said I did change the router last week and everything was working fine, managed to watch films on all the other tv's and tablets. I t was only on Sunday afternoon that it stopped working.

@Lukei@Luke tought subrip is also embeed. It's on the video. With downloaded it's OK. There's a way to force it? Yha external srt ssa it's OK, my problem is with subrip embeed

Season info is generally quite rare, actually, way more often than not you won't find any, except for some popular shows or some enthusiasts filling it for the shows they have particular knack for. Life Below Zero Season 23 has no season overview, you can easily check it by yourself. Look at some popular shows in your library, like GoT, they should be there, in particular since you refreshed metadata.

I am assuming that you have a basic network configured within the house. Your emby system and TV's are on the same subnet? You don't have your TV's/phones on some guest network?

Thanks i'll do this when I got time. Also new to getting external plugins do I have to redownload releases or does it auto update like regular plugins?

I see you released 3.8.4 today. This works!

Didn't want to hijack another thread and I did try to search (maybe my searching skills are loosing their touch) but I just noticed that NONE of my TV shows have any metadata for seasons. Zero, Zilch, Nada. So last night I ran a refresh metadata at the ROOT TV level (nor show level) and checked the logs. No errors at all. I double checked the fetcher settings and they all set to the TVDBB. Also, looking at the season.nfo files, they have no plot / nor outline / Please note that EVERY SINGLE TV show is like this not just he one below. A snippet of log file as I am currently remote today.

I feel like the ui is a lot bigger and less of the things you really need when watching on TV on the old Google TV app. Which makes it easier to navigate using the tv remote.

As per the original post, I can't capture logs as when it happens it causes firefox to crash. There will be no Emby server logs, as it is a client-side JS error. In order to replicate simply run windows 11, firefox, and plug a nintendo switch pro controller in via USB.

Yesssss. New update fix it. Thanks LUKE…

Hi All, As of Sunday afternoon, I have not been able to connect to my Emby server with any of my tv's or mobile devices, which is my main pc in the house. It works fine on my PC and I have not changed anything before the connection issues. I recently changed my router and all was working very well with no connection issues until my wife tried to watch something on our tv thru Emby on Sunday afternoon. We watched a tv show absolutely fine at about 2am (UK Time) Sunday morning after returning from the football. I have tried everything from reinstalling the app on all devices and PC, checked that the port forwarding, all fine and still wont connect. I can see the server on the other devices and every time I try to connect to it, it just comes up with the "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again" phrase. I can assure you that the sever is very much on and running. I am at my wits end now as it was all working perfectly and all of a sudden it just doesn't want to work, where nothing has changed since we last watched something. Any help will be very much appreciated, please keep it simple as I'm not a real wiz with all the technical stuff. Many thanks

Thank you very much!

For audio playlists yes I fixed it already in my internal dev version, but I try to fix the video playlists as well. I'll release a new version by next weekend.

Hello, thank you for your reply. I replied to Luke and ebr, but they didn't respond. I thought this thread might be pretty much dead, so I created a new one. I'm really glad you agree with me—we really need this feature. If the development team could consider implementing this feature, it would be a pleasant surprise for users who have been waiting for it for several years. Even if you hold down the right button on the remote, it takes a long time to scroll all the way to the right for a movie like *The Avengers*, which is really annoying. That's a good suggestion. Anyway, thanks for your reply. I also hope Luke and ebr will reply to my post (Cast at the top, Crew at the bottom.)once they're online.

External subrip subtitles are called SRT.

I would go the docker route, it's in my opinion more versatile.

Hence you should've contributed to that discussion as both FRs are basically asking for the same thing, there's no need for multiple FRs addressing same topic and diluting potential support. For some. I find it utterly unimportant and save Director and Writer, never want to see any other Crew member. But for those that do find it valuable, you are correct and your FR is completely legit - there should be an option. You don't need to keep pressing right arrow - just hold it, you'll eventually get to the end, within a second or two. But as said above, there should be an option to split the two. I would assume that for vast majority of users that isn't question at all. Though that doesn't imply that the other part should just grudgingly accept it, if splitting is unfeasible - order should be selectable. Edit: *Topics merged.* Edit2: Your post has been Recommended as Expanded request so that is visible immediately upon entering the topic as well.

Oh and here are the metadata settings for this library. But this is the only album I've ever experienced any problem with. Settings are also to read from and write to nfo

Hello, there’s already a similar post , but the content of my post is a bit different. I’ve proposed a specific implementation plan, so I’ve created a new post to discuss whether this “specific implementation plan” is feasible and whether you’re willing to implement it. First, we should agree on one thing: the Cast and Crew are equally important. When watching a movie or TV show, we want to know about both the Cast and the Crew. Second, I mostly use the Emby Universal app on Android TV, so I rely entirely on the “Cast & Crew” section to view the crew information. So here’s the issue: currently, when Emby displays the cast and crew, it almost always lists the Cast first and the Crew last. Only for a small number of movies does it list the Crew first (I understand this has to do with source data sites like TMDB; in any case, among the thousands of movies on my NAS, Emby does indeed prefer to list the Cast first and the Crew last). Screenbits 2026-07-11_151533.mp4 You might say, “Emby displays both Cast and Crew—just go check them out,” but the reality is that the Crew section is buried too far down in the “Cast & Crew” column, so we almost never look at it. This is even more pronounced on Android TV: since we’re using a remote control, it’s practically impossible to keep pressing the right arrow key until the Crew section appears… Screenbits 2026-07-11_152237.mp4 Fortunately, someone in the community has already proposed a solution, as shown in the image: Cast at the top, Crew at the bottom. This solves two problems: 1. The difficulty of viewing “Crew” on Android TV. Now, simply pressing the down arrow on the remote moves the cursor to “Crew,” making it easy to view. 2. The question of whether “Crew” or “Cast” should appear first when there’s only one column. Now both are at the top—it’s just that “Cast” is at the top and “Crew” is at the bottom. Of course, some people might not care about “Crew” at all; for them, the current design works better. So I suggest adding this feature as an option. As shown in the image, an option could be added under "Preferences > Display". When enabled, Cast would appear at the top and Crew at the bottom. Finally, there are already many similar posts in the community, and a great many people are hoping to see this feature implemented. Would you be willing to implement this feature? @Luke @ebr Please give us a clear answer—whether you’ll consider it in the future, or whether you won’t be implementing this feature… Thank you so much!

I've got a problem where one track on a 6 track album won't get the correct metadata. The embedded tags are all identical to the rest of the tracks that do get identified correctly. I've done the thing of removing the folder from the filesystem, refreshing the library, putting the folder back, and refreshing the library again, to flush out any old metadata, but with no success. Here is a direct link to the release on MusicBrainz https://musicbrainz.org/release/6a85c9e9-0ef5-4a13-a42e-0c42457b3120 Here are screenshots of the embedded tags of two tracks. The Jack Beats remix gets identified correctly, the James Yuill remix doesn't. When they get imported into Emby, the James Yuill remix doesn't get put onto the same album as the rest, it's treated as a separate album: When looking at the metadata that Emby has pulled, it looks like this. The first screenshot is the James Yuill remix, the second is from one of the tracks identifying correctly. As you can tell, the MusicBrainz IDs are somehow doubled. Even after manually editing the metadata in Emby to match the James Yuill remix to the others, it still isn't put in the album with the other tracks. Removing identification and redoing identification does nothing to fix it either. Here is a server log of me removing the folder from the library, rescanning, adding it back in, and rescanning again. Server version is 4.9.5.0, running in Docker on ElementaryOS. Please advise. embyserver(1).txt

@LukeThank you, appreciate the quick fix and update on this.

@Lukei@Luke tought subrip is also embeed. It's on the video. With downloaded it's OK. There's a way to force it?

How’s it coming along? Also, will there be any specific advantages to waiting for the native app (whenever it drops) instead of going the docking route? Or do you foresee any potential disadvantages?
