I'm a user like yourself, not staff. I completely understand the issue, and you've been told by people how to fix it, but you don't want to listen because you think you know better. Have a great day.

No good mate, I selected the movies library, then typed in 'Predator' and nothing came up at all and the 'select content' drop down was still at the very start of the library.

The browser video player is not as robust as what we're able to embed in our android app, so you'll see more server transcoding if you were to do this.

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

I'm trying to install the Anime plugin through the Plugin Catalog and it seems to install fine (I see "Anime 1.5.7 installed on myServer" in the dashboard Alerts list), but when I go to edit my libraries to use anidb as the metadata downloader I don't see anidb as an option, and when I go back to "My Plugins" I don't see Anime in the list of installed plugins. In the server logs I see 2026-03-03 04:24:21.002 Info App: Loading MediaBrowser.Plugins.Anime, Version=1.5.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null from /config/plugins/MediaBrowser.Plugins.Anime.dll so it seems like it is there, but I don't see any errors or anything for why it's not loading - attached server logs from after restart ("embyserver (1).txt"), and from installing the plugin ("embyserver-63908108621.txt"), but there's not too much interesting there either 2026-03-03 04:22:40.077 Info HttpClient: GET https://www.mb3admin.com/admin/service/EmbyPackages.json 2026-03-03 04:22:42.268 Info HttpClient: POST https://www.mb3admin.com/admin/service/package/retrieveall?includeAllRuntimes=true 2026-03-03 04:23:28.716 Info HttpClient: POST https://www.mb3admin.com/admin/service/package/retrieveall?includeAllRuntimes=true 2026-03-03 04:23:31.896 Info Server: http/1.1 POST http://host2:8096/emby/Packages/Installed/Anime?updateClass=Release&AssemblyGuid=1d0dddf7-1877-4473-8d7b-03f7dac1e559&version=1.5.7&X-Emby-Client=Emby Web&X-Emby-Device-Name=Chrome&X-Emby-Device-Id=081c0b0f-e0af-4429-b275-8413f936d701&X-Emby-Client-Version=4.8.4.0&X-Emby-Token=x_secret1_x&X-Emby-Language=en-us.

Has anyone seen the iOS app fail to start music playback over VPN/cellular where the web player works? Any known issues with the embedded localhost:12344 web UI mode, Direct Play FLAC, or a setting to force the app to use the same streaming method as Safari? App never requests audio stream (no /Audio GETs), only metadata/playstate. Setup Emby Server on Synology (Synology package) Access from iPhone over cellular using WireGuard VPN (split-tunnel; LAN 192.168.X.X/24 routed through VPN) Server accessed by LAN IP (e.g., http://192.168.X.XXX:8096) Safari web player works over cellular+WireGuard (music plays normally) Emby iOS app fails over cellular+WireGuard: UI loads, can browse library, but music never actually plays (timer doesn’t advance, eventually skips tracks/stops) What happens In the iOS app, pressing Play starts a session in the server admin “Now Playing” screen, often showing Direct Play (FLAC), but the phone never produces audio and often stops/skips after a short time. On Wi-Fi it may eventually play, but on cellular via VPN it consistently fails. Safari on the same phone, same VPN, same URL plays immediately. Server logs (Debug enabled) The iPhone makes normal API calls for metadata/artwork and playstate, e.g.: GET /emby/Users/.../Items/... GET /emby/Items/.../Images/... POST /emby/Sessions/Playing/Progress POST /emby/Sessions/Playing/Stopped The session often stops with Position 0 ms (never actually starts playback). tcpdump evidence Captured on the NAS while pressing Play in the iOS app (filtering iPhone VPN IP 10.0.0.2 to Emby port 8096): Observed GETs for metadata and images, and POSTs for playstate/progress. No requests for any audio stream endpoint were observed (no GET /Audio/..., no GET /Items/.../stream, no download/stream GET at all). The app connects to 8096 only (no 8920), exchanges a small amount of data, then closes the connection shortly after. Key headers observed from the iOS app requests: Origin: http://localhost:12344 Referer: http://localhost:12344/ (which suggests the app is using an embedded local web UI/proxy) Conclusion Network/VPN path is proven good because Safari plays audio fine over the same cellular+WireGuard connection. The iOS app appears to never initiate the actual audio stream request, only control/metadata/playstate traffic, then stops/idle-skips. Versions iOS app reports: Emby for iOS 2.2.50 iPhone OS shown in UA: iPhone OS 18_7 Server web dashboard version shown in logs: Emby Web 4.9.3.0 (server package on Synology) Bottom line...The app never plays the music.

Thanks very much. Will have to try a bit later.

1. 2. 3. 4.

Yes, I have this so far - not sure about the semi-transparent bit - some of the css I suppose. It gives a row of movies, row of episodes, row of music and row of music videos.

Gents, tone it down. Refrain from personal insults and debate in a civil manner. Adhere to Forum Rules. Thank you.

HI, yes we can add this. Thanks for reporting.

How have you configured/set-up your Collection?

You're pathetic and don't even understand the issue, cause these exact same specials showed properly 3 years ago before the first time I left emby. Maybe try learning about what you're talking about so you don't look so stupid and arrogant. Everything worked fine before you switched your specials handling to only crucial specials. So adding a toggle to add back the all specials function should work fine like it did 3 years ago, but I guess your some newbie loser that does not know this but pretends he does, [redacted] instead you act like [redacted] and go all evil cry baby on people instead of actually trying to help them. Attacking is not helping believe it or not. So unless I get an apology, I am closing my account. This app has really gone downhill and must be desperate if they are allowing people like you to answer for them.

Any idea where using this smartlist plugin I could limit things to Movies and not get episodes, music etc ? Thanks.

Thanks for this, i just setup my matrix system. will this ever get published to the emby plugins browser that is built in? Edit: Apologies, read the landing page. Thanks again

My IP starts with 74.140 The person from the ISP who confirmed I wasn’t behind a CGNat was a second level supervisor who I don’t have to explain what I was looking for. He actually explained it in more detail to me. My remote access worked for years. Stopped a month or so ago. And then worked again immediately when I added the port via my eero. It worked for a week and a half and then stopped again.

Think I've got it now thanks. It opens properly, which is progress for me. Sorry bout the confusion.

Click here, it'll take to you to exact post in the thread, not the first one.

I did that one cause its shown in the very first post in the thread you linked to - I've found it now (I think). In your link where it says New Plugin: Smart Playlists 2.0 I clicked on the second time its mentioned, not the first next the to the capital S. Didn't realise they linked to different posts.

Why would you do that, haven't I just linked the post you can download latest working version (you'll end up with 2.5.1.4850) from, updated for 4.9+ server version?

Downloaded version 2.5.0.4810 cause it seems to be the highest number, unzipped, moved to plugins directory (hopefully the right one), restarted, clicked on SmartPlaylist plugin and all I get is 'There was an error processing the request'.

another update when using infuse the issue disappears (at least tried on the apple tv). Can some one from the team take a look at the log? would really prefer to use the emby app Z

Funny how 2 years ago all these episodes showed fine but your too [redacted] ignorant to see that
