I seem to see the issue with just one or a few letters in the search box in the Web App (app search from other users break it to, but I really only search from web), the CPU on the Emby Process shoots up and server becomes unresponsive for a minute or three.

I'm having the same issue. It started happening last night. When launching ET (legacy version) it would normally go to the Home Screen after loading. Now it presents the "Select Server" screen. You can either select the server and it goes to the home screen or you can press/click the home button/icon and it goes to the home screen as well. My "Startup behavior" has not changed and is set to "Remember last user". Changing this to "Sign in as <user>" doesn't fix the issue. This is happening on multiple PC's. This issue started happening with client version 4.9.5.14. Version 4.9.5.13 works as expected. This is not a server issue.

Hello, here's how Emby is currently designed: When I click on Episode 4, the poster at the bottom switches to the poster for Episode 5 (as shown in the video). Screenbits 2026-07-25_065605.mp4 I hope the poster stays with Episode 4. In other words: When I click on an episode, it stays on the poster for that episode. Screenbits 2026-07-25_070031.mp4 I'm not used to the current design, when I click on Episode 4, I want to see everything about Episode 4, including its poster. But Emby shows the poster for Episode 5 instead, which really bothers me. Let's take a look at how Jellyfin does it: When you click on Episode 4, the poster for Episode 3 appears. Screenbits 2026-07-25_070621.mp4 Well, it's pretty hard to use, too... but at least it's better than Emby, because in Jellyfin, I can at least see the poster for Episode 4. Now let's take a look at how Plex handles this on TV: it uses a different design so that when we select Episode 4 to play, we see the poster for Episode 4—perfect! Screenbits 2026-07-25_070940.mp4 In short, Emby should take a cue from Jellyfin and Plex—their designs are the way to go. Of course, you don’t have to completely overhaul Emby’s current design; you could simply add an option that allows us to “When I click on an episode, Stay on the current episode's poster”

Hi all, I’m using Emby Server with an M3U tuner and XMLTV guide generated by Dispatcharr. On the Emby web app, Live TV works correctly. The Guide shows the channel-group filter chips at the top, such as All, UK Entertainment, UK Sports, DAZN Live, EFL Live, etc. I can switch groups normally. However, on the Emby Android TV app running on a Homatics Box R 4K Plus, the Live TV Guide does not show the same category/group chips. The guide appears to get stuck in certain channel groups. Could this be a bug with channel groups/tags in the Android TV app? Behaviour observed: With my “Living Room” user, the Guide initially showed only sports channels. I could not find a way to switch to All Channels or UK Entertainment from the Android TV Guide UI. The # button only opens channel-number entry. Pressing left/right/up/down does not reveal a group selector. Switching to the admin user showed a different guide view with 600+ channels, possibly All Channels. Switching back to the Living Room user then changed the Guide again, now apparently filtering on UK Sports and UK Entertainment. The same server and same Live TV setup work correctly in the web app. Questions: Does the Android TV app support the same Live TV channel-group selector as the web app? Where is the channel-group filter controlled in the Android TV app? Are Live TV guide filters saved per user/device? Is there a way to clear/reset the Android TV app’s remembered Live TV Guide filter state? Setup: Emby Server running in Docker on Synology Android TV client: Homatics Box R 4K Plus Live TV source: Dispatcharr M3U + XMLTV Channel groups display correctly in Emby web Logos and EPG data load correctly Playback works Thank you!

Hi have you setup port forwarding in your router? Have you stepped through our remote setup guide? Connecting from Client Apps

From my end, It seems that it's more so when the search query contains smaller/common strings like (john / of / jazz / the / us / rock / dj /death ). Searches that consist of larger/less common words like (kendrick / MellowHype / Alcantara / Alchemist ) can get results within 15 seconds. I hate to say this but it's not really consistent, like there's a few exceptions I ran into like (The Alchemist / DJ Khaled) which return within 15 seconds.

And web page still doesn't work, but thats says it on 2.3.0. I thought that updated with the Moonbase update ?

Every time this is posted it is not an Emby problem, but a "I did not configure things correctly" problem, and as usual, no where near enough information has been posted. If you want actual help, you are going to need to tell the community if you've opened up ports on your router, what build you are using, what OS, etc. Do you go to the doctor and say "Hey doc I'm in pain" and that's all you say? Or go to the mechanic and say "I hear a noise in the car" without being specific of where you hear the noise, when it's heard and what kind of noise it is. Please be more forthcoming with information if you want anyone to help you, otherwise, no one will, and you'll be mad, the community will get mad, and then no one will be happy.

Sorry @Lukebut It's something you can easily reproduce with an apple tv device, happens in both 64K and 32K. I'm not using your client anymore since 2024, I'm now using Infuse as player that does not present these defects, remembers playback speed and has a few other improvements. It's sad that a third party application works better and faster than your own client with your server.

If you have a library that is of mixed content and has a root folder with multiple folders, the latest addition is shown on the right hand side as if a new season, could there be an option added to allow season/folder listing to be ascending/descending. Therefore any new content added could be seen on the left hand side and not potentially hidden on the right hand side if there is a long folder list.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

I tried the above and it didn't work. I ended up just nuking the server, uninstalling everything and starting over and it's back to working, so not sure what the issue ended up being, but glad I'm back up and running. Appreciate the replies though!

Hi, have you tried Emby for iOS 2.2..55?

Hi, how have you configured the startup behavior option in the app?

No I think it will just produce the same result. It's worth trying. If the remuxed version plays then most likely there's something wrong with the headers in the original file. If you test this then make sure to run a library scan after updating the file. In other words, don't just update the file and then try to play because the server will be doing that based on outdated media information.

Hi, the server log says it is getting a 500 error from the dispatcher server, so I would start by figuring out why that is happening and get that resolved, then re-evaluate.

I updated Moonbase and Moonfin to the dot 1's - shut down, move files over, restart. I get a permanently spinning circle on the plugin in Emby. In the Moonfin app in widows I just get the rows My Media, Continue Watching & Next Up, Live TV, On Now and Rewatch. No Latest rows anywhere.

I think I am over thinking this. I got some issues with that. I just added uid emby and guid mylogonuser to fstab and am adding folder to emby now. It sees ot be populating the server just fine on the server machine itself..I have not yet tried o access it remotely thats another step.

HI, you mean animated images? No, not yet, but there is the video backdrops feature. Theme Songs & Videos

Did anything come from this. I still think this is a great ideal.

Boniface himself also wrote a blog entry about his departure. I found the content quite revealing.

In TV layouts we do it on the left because usually coming into a library the left most tab will be selected and therefore it's fewer remote taps to get to the letters.

is this github link broken? On a different note, I thought chronological meant ordered by date of the events that took place. When I see MCU Chronological, it appears they are just ordered by film release date. BTW this is really cool though, so thank you!

For a kids profile i'm loving the 'Suggestions' tab (Movies → Suggestions). Is there a possibility to have such an option for the homescreen?

Bit late but i figured it out. On my AndroidTv i had the 'old' AndroidTv app installed that probably didn't had updates in a long time.. After installing emby for android the login is just as fast now.
