@ebr And this is exactly where we disagree. You say there is “not enough benefit” to warrant further development. But that isn't an objective technical conclusion — it's your assessment of how much those benefits are worth relative to the number of users who would use them. @vdatanet has just described several situations himself where Direct File Access can provide an actual advantage. So I think we've moved beyond the question of whether benefits exist at all. They clearly can. The remaining question is how much value Emby assigns to those benefits and to the users who want them. And that's the part I don't agree with. Direct File Access existed, it worked, and I used it successfully myself. It wasn't abandoned because it was technically useless or because HTTP made it functionally impossible. Android changed, maintaining the feature became less attractive, and Emby decided that the number of users benefiting from it didn't justify the effort. That's your development decision to make. But I'm equally entitled to challenge the reasoning behind that decision — especially as a user who actually used the feature and found it valuable enough to downgrade an entire Shield just to retain it. So no, from my perspective there is still something to discuss. Saying “there is not enough benefit” doesn't settle the question; it simply states Emby's current position on it. And positions can be reconsidered.

It's not in the catalogue. Check the plug-ins section of the forum.

Yes, the website was your emby community or the website itself that helps you install it on to your device. The emby server is installed on a Nvidia Shield Pro, and when I go to find the document on how to reset the password, it says i have no permission to access the directory. This is the help I need, I need a way to get that file so reset the password or a way to just start from the beginning, even if I have to uninstall everything and make a new account.

None have succeeded historically or currently for WAN access (as previously stated) and/or are not practical to accomplish and/or are already set as per the suggestions. And I can access over LAN just fine, and Emby connect worked fine for over a year until yesterday, when it suddenly quit working.

Hi. All UPnP does is automatically create the port forwarding rules in your router. Whether created that way or manually by you, that is how access to your server inside your network is achieved. Also, Emby Connect is just an easy way to arrive at your server. Technically, it is doing the exact same thing as you manually connecting to it. If you run the troubleshooting steps here: Connecting from Client Apps which ones succeed and which fail?

@adrianwiHave you tried upgrading your jail? iocage upgrade <jail_name> Works fine on vanilla FreeBSD 13.5 here. Going to try TrueNAS when I get home.

Additional detail: Connecting with a PIN on Emby Connect still does not work. I provided Emby Connect with the correct PIN and hitting "NEXT" does nothing. This is almost certainly Emby Connect not working.

Any idea what section that is under? There is unfortunately no search in the catalog. I checked General and Top and did not see it.

The Home Screen Companion plug-in is probably what you're looking for.

@LukeHey Luke sorry to revive this old thread but it's happened again. I'm not sure why when Emby signs me out and I'm being told my password is invalid. It looks like I'll have to force reset again but I'm not sure if anyone else has had a similar problem? To clarify, this is my login for my emby server. Thanks

Hi @Lukeis there any update on pushing a newer update through Scale? We're still on 4.9.5.0. I have had a fairly serious issue now twice where ffmpeg fails to terminate and runs all night while I sleep. The common factors are: DV P7.6, PGS subtitles and a 3rd Gen FireTV Cube. I have too many rips to convert all subs to subrips. I have woken twice to the nice surprise of seeing some of my Intel 13th Gen Cores cooking at near 90C and CPU at 65%. I have added a Cron job to kill ffmpeg if it's running for 2+ hours but it would sure be nice to have this issue patched. Thanks for all of your hard work!

I see this option under Home Sections. I am curious if this will specifically copy just what I have checked off above the button. For example: In the below screenshot, if I click the button, will it copy just the 'On Now' section to home? When I clicked the button, it came up with some Copy options that made me question. But I'm thinking it's just allowing me to also grant access in the same swing? If I wanted to copy only the section I have highlighted, can I uncheck everything under the Copy options? Naturally, if the user didn't have access to some things, they may see limited (or no) content under the new section. Just want to confirm my understanding - thanks!

I've customized the home screens. I like the fine-grained control introduced in 4.10. The favorites issue is unique. As far as I can tell, it's matching a favorite by IMDB or similar metadata, and returning matches from all libraries. Not so great if there is a mix of local and VOD libraries (attached). Being able to apply fine-grained library control over the favorites would be wonderful.

From my perspective there is nothing left to discuss at this point in time. There is not enough benefit in this feature to warrant further development at this time.

Not 100% your request, but you can realize it with the EmbyIcons Plugin and the Tagging or Filename Function inside it.

Hi. An easy way for now would be to add "IMAX" as the first genre on these items. That would also give you a quick and easy way to see them all.

With 4.10 being fully released now, was curious what others who have been using the beta recommend. Is the most common way to get specific content on your homepage by using the new 'Dynamic Media' and then using 'tags'? It seems that is the only way to set up a truly custom search criteria. If so, will have to look into some automation for tagging. Thanks for ideas!

Hi, sorry there’s no control over the favorites tab. I misunderstood you. It displays from all libraries. But now you can create your own Home Screen sections so perhaps look at that?

Right you need to contact the owner of the server. Maybe they shut it down, changed IP address, revoked your access, etc

If you are actually talking about "Windows Media Center" how are you getting any guide data at all for that now? I thought that was cut off years ago. In any case, I believe that, you think it is "working fine" because it is not trying to determine if you already have any particular showing of any particular item already and is just happily recording duplicates. We are using the guide data to avoid recording duplicates and, according to the guide data, this would be a duplicate.

Hi. Can you please provide the address of the website you are talking about because we are confused by your questions. Exactly where is your server installed? On what machine on your network and what OS? Thanks.

Hi. Perhaps you are talking about the "Next Up" episode part of Continue Watching? If so, be sure the episodes have proper season/episode numbers.

As stated previously, I have UPnP enabled on both Emby Server and my router, which, up until yesterday, worked perfectly fine with Emby Connect. Manual port forwarding (no matter what settings or guides I have followed) has never once worked for WAN access for me, no matter what I've done, so I have never utilized it.

You can do what you want, if you dont want to provide me the information that is needed, then send me a link to someone that can. Ive been straight forward in telling you what the problem is and there has been no help yet!

@LukeI have updated to v4.10 but can't find where to control libraries used to populate the favorites tab. Please advise.
