except that the issue with Spider-Noir is the versions are more equivalent to cuts, not quality, thus require seperate play state tracking. checked out that thread, but appears this issue has fallen to the bottom of the development pipeline. I'll keep an eye on it. thanks.

Sorry, but we cannot allow this one even outside of the catalog. Thanks

In my previous install, collections was working fine. I look through the forums but was there a reason for a new collection plugin that at least for me now does not work?

this is desperately needed. as I've raised linked, the current mitigation of removing all identifying external id's from the duplicate items is far from an ideal solution and results in even more issues for library management. we're pretty much in a dammed if we do dammed if we don't state atm. and this isn't an uncommon issue. separate editions are becoming more and more come (i.e. Spider-Noir I mentioned in the other thread), not to mention the current escalation in component pricing, we're all having to become very inventive with our library management to offset increasing costs (for example, I've had to duplicate my entire movie library between 4K and 720p versions as I simply can't afford the GPU hardware to transcode 4K anymore). I see too simple fixes here that shouldn't require large scale db changes: support `{edition-}` tags same as Plex. this would be a small change to the existing code that pulls from the filename after the last dash (-), to look for an additional pattern in the filename, and treat it same as currently displayed in the UI. this solves the presentation issue in the UI. track Continue Watching based on the Emby database id, not the external tvdb_id. this solves the duplication issue in the UI. make this a toggleble feature in the server settings, so that those that want to opt in for this wholesale change can if they wish.

No. There are some apps that do not show item backgrounds. Because they have been there since inception and a lot of users use them. The defaults were switched a long time ago to be more compatible with the apps that show item backgrounds.

I can't see any request for the video file in the log, so it's failing before even getting to the subtitle request. If you turn off subtitles before you start playback, does it play? Can you please send me a server log with that test? I'm also seeing some of these errors in your logs. Does the server have a working internet connection?

I think the free aspect definitely reinforces a network effect on social media etc. A serious comparison review of Jellyfin / Plex / Emby would require a lot of work which no reviewer has the time for. I do have Jellyfin (and Plex) running and browse Jellyfin from time to time on Github though not in detail and they got a couple of decent developers pretty active on the project in the last year or two. For a long time it was just floating along but I think it got a bit of momentum going recently. PS IF Emby disappeared tomorrow, I could use Plex but JF is nowhere near usable for me. Emby is still the best of the 3, in my case.

You can't. The grid filling all the space in a dialog view needs to be seen as a different mode where it can behave in ways which aren't possible when it's part of the flow layout as certain interactions would conflict with normal page navigation. In a dialog, it is isolated from the regular interactions because you need to close the dialog first to return to the normal page context. When the grid is on a page view (or any other view where it's not maximized), it is just an element like all the others and bound to the same margins like all other elements.

Emby Expiry Manager Emby Expiry Manager is an in-development plugin that tracks items (movie, shows or episodes) in your library and automatically removes them once their time is up (set by user) — handy for content management if you have limited storage or things you want to host temporarily. "Leaving" badges — items show a countdown badge on posters and thumb image ("Leaving tomorrow," "Leaving in 6d," etc.), so viewers know at a glance how much longer something will be available.* Automatic removal — once an item's time is up, it's pulled from the library on schedule, no manual cleanup needed * requires emby new overlay version 1.3.1.0.

You were specifically talking about TV show - and for that, episode naming is irrelevant. Multi-versioning was never intended to be used for multiple cuts, just different versions/resolutions of the same item, but over time userbase took on using it for cuts as well (with all the caveats - like the ones you're facing - it brings). Anyway, you can join and lend your support and/or comment in the already existing FR and related discussion:

Small update: Removed the Music Library ignore from the plugin. Posters for music libraries use a different scale, not really an issue but will require the 200x300 feature to ignore music libraries. Need to add bitrate and sample rate icon support. Update the cache to work with new icons. The troubleshooter needs to be updated with said icons. <-- No way to scan music at all right now. Update profile system. <-- All music settings are global without this. Update UI. <-- Only way to change settings for music right now is by manually editing the settings file. Update help page. Get new icons made (please help!). Update filename-based and tag system. Add scaling option for music libraries to normalize icon position a bit better. And some things I most likely have forgotten. Still a lot to do.

Here is a sneak peak of the upcoming new plugin projects QbitStrm. QbitStrm is an in-development plugin that bridges qBittorrent and Emby It watches your downloads and automatically turns unfinished torrents into .strm files so Emby can display them as upcoming titles. Completed downloaded movies and shows show up in your library without manual copying or waiting on a full file transfer, also you can set premiere date to make them available to watch. Features Premiere countdown badges — see at a glance when a scheduled title will unlock * "Upcoming" badge with progress — incomplete torrents show live download progress right on the poster * Graceful placeholder playback — custom, user-set videos play for upcoming/incomplete titles YouTube-style premiere notification — premiering items play their backdrop with the premiere date burned in, until the real content is ready. * requires emby new overlay version 1.3.1.0.

As said, i'm pretty sure it's because it's free. When people look for a media server, let's say they switch from Plex, they just google "Plex alternative". When doing that both Emby and Jellyfin are plastered all over the results. When they see Jellyfin is free they will quickly download that, at least to see if it is any good as they won't loose any money just trying it. Being a free product it automatically attracts A LOT more people. Made a little extreme for the sake of understanding, what would you choose if you had the choice between two almost identical cars, one being free and the other costing money?

This is kind of a nuisance, because I occasionally fall asleep in front of my phone/tablet, and ‏it stays ‏on until the morning. In phones that have AMOLED display or similar this can ruin the screen, but even without that it just needlessly discharges. Can this be fixed?

Release Notes Version 1.3.1.0 Added integration support for QbitStrm (in-development qBittorrent-to-Emby plugin) Added integration support for Emby Expiry Manager (in-development plugin that removes items from your Emby library on a scheduled time) EmbyNewOverlay.dll

the filenames are different. some shows are HDR 4K vs SDR 1080p. Different cuts for movies. Different cuts for shows. Different uploaders. Endless. Different libraries in Emby. I've never been able to get the existing merge functionality to play nice for on differently named files in the on the file system. the documentation is very prescriptive about naming versions the same except for the final `-Edition` part on the end, for Emby to treat it nicely. anyone using sonarr/radarr, and following Trash Guides file management standard (a large number of us I bet, as these has been the gold standard to date), will have this issue. the only reliable method for managing multiple versions I've found since moving from Plex is the "Remove Identifying..." option (found this recommended in another post on the forums). merging doesn't solve the need to keep Playstate seperate either. for example, two movies different cuts. if I watch the Theatrical, and not Directors, I don't want to mark the Directors as played. if I watch the B/W version of SpiderNoir, I don't want to mark the Colour as watched as well.

Note that the setting is for the detection of new items when the file system contents change. If you have already got the files in place, then you may need to command a scan manually to get the process rolling. (Right-click or three dot menu on the library on the home page.) Paul

Hi anyone know how to increase the Dxgrid's absolute width on the tab/page please; i can only get it to take up half the screen width on pluginUI. I see from the PluginUI SDK demo Dxgrid can be full screen in a dialogueview. But i cant find any width attribute or dxgrid/dxgridoption parameter to increase the control's absolute size on a page. I can give absolute column widths but that doesnt change the control's absolute size on a page (just increases the scrolling) thanks in anticipation.

Why would you do that? It's the same show, why don't you just merge them and select the version you want to play from multi-version dropdown?

So I finally realized this was my error; as I suspected. While I was putting together detailed information as requested by Luke I noticed that the EMBY server wasn't resolving local hostnames. I've recently implemented Pi-Hole as my DNS server and was sure that everything was correctly setup but I missed this one. Odd that the server resolved the hostname when building the library but not when trying to replay from the .strm file. I understand why the "Directory or File not found" message came but it was a bit misleading! Now everything works correctly and I can confirm that the CRLF/LF difference between Windows and Linux text files is not problem I have not removed the CR from the .strm files.

My Emby Server (Docker) is latest 4.10.0.17 beta --- My 55inch LG TV is 2018 MODEL : 55UJ632T-TA It is kind of old webOS and my Emby App version from LG Content store shows updated : 19-01-2026 (Jan) Version : 1.0.50 It is still showing subs in top left corner. Any remedies? @michaelhcan you guide me how I can sideload from .ipk file if that can fix this dreaded issue?

Exactly what I was saying. Generally people don't know about Emby, and most of them know about Jellyfin. That's why there is so many different plugins made by the community for Jellyfin, and not so much for Emby.

@SamES As you correctly stated, the TV is from 2016. With version 2.3.4, which I was using, I didn't have any problems, but with versions 2.3.8 and 2.3.9 I'm having this issue with external .ass subtitles. Here's the new log from when I reinstalled version 2.3.9 (I was using version 2.2.8 on the TV), and also the log with debugging enabled. In neither case does it show any FFmpeg logs. embyserver.txt embyserver con depuracion.txt

what you are saying is that this design is not working for anyone, in no case, it's a design issue, poorly designed. the only solution is not to use it. right? so why is it in the addon as option?

Case in point, Spider Noir exists as both B/W and Colour. It's ridiculous the solution is to remove all identifying IDs from one of the shows, to force Continue Watching to display correctly without duplicates. This results in the cleansed item no longer receiving any metadata updates for future episodes. Plex never had this issue, and this literally f**k up everything lol Why can't Continue Watching be based on the internal db id, instead of an tvdb_id? At least give us the option, along side using the tvdb_id, for those that would rather tvdb_id usage. But for those of us with only one server, and users only subbed to our server, makes no sense to use an external id as the tracker regardless. I beg of Emby, please fix this. It's making library management harder than it needs to be.
