HI, we don't currently have a way of moving this to another location on Synology. When you uninstall, it does leave the data folder behind, so this requires a manual deletion if you want to make a fresh start when reinstalling.

I can fashion you an access controlled solution in a plugin. it would only be actionable from the web client given current restrictions on plugins extending the user interface. It may be limited to single items at a time (havent checked multi item support). Is that any use. using a pattern akin to linked video. (just need to change the function/ui to a metadata refresh one) (different users and groups can have access to more destructive metadata refresh types)

Sorry just an adition Reason being I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it and it immediately found the server again so clearly it is retaining that information. Jellyfin did the same. and going in by SSH/Putty and the folders are still there after installation. SO what is it actually uninstalling? Or is this purely a Synology issue? Thanx if you got this far and kudos to the makers, it's atleast an alternative

user switching will always require using interaction. the current above (2) ways of showing the list of users to select from require the user to make a selection, there is no way of specifying a user from an external source.

So i've been a plex user for years but recent updates are rendering it more and more worthless and anti-user friendliness, much Windows vs Linux Initially tried Jellyfin but that hammers the Synology drives to the point the pool kept crashing one of the drives Anyway i installed Emby via the package manager and noticed something which likely doesnt matter but Emby my setup has the Nas system and a Volume 1 which is the shared pool and within that i have it broken down to a drive that essentially holds all stuff accessed by my windows PC and is where the media is stored for Plex. and another that was purely the Plex appdata folder so if something went wrong it was easy to access, As can be seen in the pic Volume 1 has docker, emby (ignore this it was created for what im asking for), PlexMediaServer (the appadata for plex) and Synology is the drive share with the network Plex allowed you to put the appdata elsewhere but Emby does not? it installs it to the hidden system folders which are only accessible via ssh? Is my only option to do it by docker and try to work out what the bleep im doing? So i want Emby to be installed into that Emby folder or the AppData to be in that Emby Folder not in the system I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it and it immediately found the server again so clearly it is retaining that information. Jellyfin did the same.

Currently in my server a have movies ect with both a 4k file and 1080p file all named correctly and they appear in the drop down menu to select which one to play. Currently it defaults to the 4k file, Is it possible to have a setting in play back to either set it to default to 4k or 1080 to allow some devices that struggle to play larger files. Or even better have a Movies default and Tv shows default. Thanks

So that should be fine since you had a working version already. I'm more interested in someone using an unmodified version and seeing if the update breaks the config.

I'll have them try that. Why would the latest version in the Smart TV App Store be so old? Looks like 2.2.8 (their version) was 12 release versions ago!

Hi Luke, I hope everything is well. Is there any news/updates on this topic..??? BR

Hi, I think we’re still trying to figure that out although I don’t think it’s consistent every time. We have to use the YouTube ask to embed videos and so that means we do have to play by their rules.

The windows client has both ads and subtitles still, plus additional youtube overlays. Not all trailers are affected, but lets say every second trailer we try to play. The same thing doesnt happen with the web app. @softworkzIs there a technical reason for this?

Unfortunately, no, I don't have the NFO files for the titles.

HI, do you have nfo files with your media? did you previously enable saving of those prior to moving the files?

HI, are you able to try the usb version of the app and see how the latest build compares?

Good day, I had a quick question in regards to the top-list section and I was wondering if we can force a rotation on the list? For example, I created a top 10 list by tags not manually and the tag used from my library holds 500 movies with that tag. I then set max items to 10 so it can make a top 10 list which is working perfect. The top 10 list that was created by the home companion plug-in won't rotate the top 10 movies or list. They movies on the list remain the same. Is there a way that we can have those movies change out weekly or daily to show different movies in the top 10 list and rotate through the library of 500 movies?? So basically when we log in that top 10 list will change periodically and it won't be showing the same movies over and over for the same top 10 if this makes sense? Thanks in advance.

It's hard to say why it's wanting to refresh metadata on the artists. since you completed the scan, they should not refresh again on the next one. if you find that still happening, then i would shutdown the server, then delete all .dll files from: /config/plugins Then start the server and run one scan, let it complete, followed by a second one, and then we'll see how that second one behaves.

same issue but i run this error https://img.lightshot.app/4wUqk0BmT9aZHDEBRKH6LA.png https://prnt.sc/H7ocnv2f9IWM

Thanks Luke, attached is a log with debug enabled. embyserver.txt

I have not seen that (also in Australia), however I also block anything going to my sub domain itself, which is where bots would go I imagine. I ONLY allow /web /emby and a few others I have collected over the years that allow emby to work - but the emby.mydomain.com will be blocked. I also have an elaborate set of other block rules for stuff that maximise the use of the free CF plan rules.

Actually Samsung just launched our app update for 2024 devices and newer. For older devices the update is still in testing.

Can you enable debug logging, restart the server and then run another library scan? Thanks.

The feature is also not yet supported in the Samsung app according to Luke.

sometimes the bitrate can still be lowered via audio

What version of Emby Server are you running? Minimum requirements are beta v4.10.0.10 according to the info on the OP.

The value of "Automatische Remote-Streaming-Qualität" will only be used if the app is set to streaming quality (auto), which is the default setting for a new app installation. But the app users are still allowed to choose any other quality setting if they like to.
