Okay. I used my son's phone since my phone might have too much emby history influence. I tried to login to my dad's profile and this is what came up...I changed the password in the user profile multiple times. I deleted the previous password, saved. Went back in and added a different password, saved.

Anything on this? I see there's a validation function in the source code that's rejecting these URLs even though they are valid. It only allows localhost or ip addresses entered Okay I will test it out and report. Appears to be working alright now.

And Prev/Next buttons will only ever appear if there are Prev or Next items, so Prev won’t show for the first item in a queue, and neither will show if playing a single item.

The visibility of some of the OSD buttons depends on detection of a mouse or the LG magic pointer. Check the app settings, there is a setting possibly under Display or Playback where you can set the transport button visibility. Try setting it to ‘always show’

With these settings, the player transcode the stream and no subtitles are being shown and the quality is still reduced to 1 Mbps. When I force the highest quality in the player, the subtitles do show: ffmpeg-transcode-fafa9538-eb6d-4a42-83ec-71a99d6426f5_1.txt

This should have been handled a decade ago BUT people keep trying to complicate a simple rating system. This isn't Plex. Stop trying to add every stupid nuance to a really simple thing. Look... in Filters, I see that I can toggle on Favorites. If I do so, do I see your favorite movies? No. I see the movies that I favorited, no one else. All I've been asking for is a simple 5-star button so that I can rate a movie or show after I am done watching it. Example below (I should have made the stars Green). At this point, instead of the Favorite toggle in Filters, you are given the choice of choosing your rating 1-5 and any other filter selection you would like, such as year (or years). Now, I am able to see my 4-star-rated movies from 1984 or my 5-star-rated movies from the 90s. There is no reason to expand this feature further. I do not need to see what others like or don't like. I don't need to average my rating against every Emby user in the world. I don't need my rating to transfer to Trakt or iMDb or anywhere else. Just a small ratings section within the database. The same database that keeps up with my Played stats. Please... please... can we get some traction on this feature?

Curious why you feel this way?

Will troubleshoot

Sorry for the late reply. The OSD previous/next buttons are very inconsistent for me. Sometimes they appear, sometimes they don’t. I have a lot of music videos, and I used to quickly go through them using the Channel Up/Down buttons on the remote. Now those buttons cycle through (auto-generated) chapters instead, which is not useful in my case. Is it possible to customize the behavior of remote buttons so the user can choose what they do? Alternatively, is there a way to remap these functions manually, or use other available buttons on the remote for this purpose? Thanks.

I think this broke for me with the recent update. Can I revert to previous version in Docker Container to try this out? Edit: Reverting did not fix it. Weird. Am I tripping Will look further.

Did you read the help text underneath the option? Does it apply to them? Did you explore the stats feature in the video player to learn why it wasn't direct playing?

That's fine, but just understand that when you do that, it may cause things to not work.

HI, yes I agree that this would be a neat feature.

Looking for a workaround. If the user sets the Internet Quality in the player to 4K - 200 Mbps, the stream is Direct Playing. Which is a small hassle to explain to my 80-year old parents how to fix the issue. I see there is an option on server side, but this still forces the stream to remux. How come?

OK we'll take a look at this. Thanks.

Hi, looks like they entered the wrong username and password, right? I would try reconfiguring their password in user management: Users Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Hello @Luke When I watch a movie with HDR or Dolby Vision and a bitrate of 50–70 Mbps, the TV doesn’t switch to HDR or Dolby Vision (depending on the movie) when using the Emby app for Android version 3.5.28 on the Google Streamer. The movie is unwatchable; it stutters severely. Sound: DTS 5.1 and AC3 5.1 It works perfectly with the Emby app for Android TV.

@NeminemTks. In summary, due to the very small image being processed, even with h/w tone mapping being applied, it takes longer to move the data into the GPU to then process it and move it back, than it does to simply process it directly in the CPU. If you want things done quicker, then running multiple instances of the BIF generator with Emby on different parts of the library is the way to go.

My server can't transcode on the fly, which is why I disabled “Allow video transcoding to a compatible format, if necessary, during media playback.” Or am I misinterpreting that setting? As a test, I have toggled 'Allow video transcoding to a compatible format, if necessary, during media playback', but it still is 'Reducing bitrate due to quality setting' without showing the subtitles. What I find strange is that I didn’t have any issues before with remux not showing subtitles until yesterday.

@jellelle

Oh, I can see it under "Devices"! Emby for Android 3.5.28 for all devices.

I'll check when I get home This behaviour is on multiple devices - I'll check them all.

Hi, what version number of the app are you on?

@Zenith Mediaplease let us know if this helps. Thanks.

This is not supposed to happen, habe you set the server_type to emby in your config.yaml? This error indicates that a Plex instance is still used, in the settings. You can also share your config or log and I'll see what I can do.
