Re-Organizing all my library is still not an option for me, cause of folder structures and strict common naming formats in my lib since beginning. DVDs or Bluray's or TV-Recordings are all located on different "places". That's why I love that "Versions" are now supported, and hope that "Title-Switch" or Info will follow...... (please don't tell me I have to switch back my library to a previous version of emby-server)

I recently started moving my books over to Book Orbit (mostly just my audio books for now) but after seeing the ease of adding books and the metadata "just working" I have to believe it is something that Emby could do so I dont have to run two apps. Alternatively, maybe just an integration with Book Orbit so that my libraries there can be access via Emby?

No throttling in UK. GIG1 connection (actually around 1170mbps as over provisioned) with 107mbps on average upload using DocSIS 3.1. Client devices using full fibre from 3 other ISP's (symmetric on those) and these have superb ping and jitter times. Not ISP crap routers either. It has never detected WAN speed correctly in any Emby version for years. Always have to set a static value and then everything direct plays (media is compatible on all devices without transcoding). Without setting fixed speed of say 30mbps, an 11mbps TV Show will try at transcode at 4mbps (with nothing else using the upload).

Hi. This is just a naming issue. If you name your versions properly, you will see them in the drop down. Movie Naming

Ja, alle meine Filme haben einen eigenen Ordner. Ich habe es nun mit 1 Film ausprobiert., meine Urlaubs-Version umbenannt und sie ins Verzeichnis der 4K-Version kopiert. Es funktioniert in Emby, Jellyfin und Plex. Es ist nur etwas irritierend, dass die Cover in Emby nun in der linken oberen Ecke eine Zahl für die Anzahl der Versionen haben.

I missed this one. Yes i can play tracks. I wonder the value of making artist mandatory?.sometimes it nice to hear covers you were not expecting. I do think it would be great if tracks where artist and albumartist match take highest priority (as a very rough approximation for a studio album unless emby introduces support for this schema in future). noted regarding repeat My use case for shuffling playlists is i have a 1000 track playlist which is not ordered to any purpose, its a collection of tracks i shuffle randomly in the car. Hearing it from the beginning every time is not its intention. "open ear wax" was a mistake on my part.

So.... anyone have any ideas? I changed the settings back to default, no dice. I created a new server from scratch on an alternate login, no dice. Is this simply a bug with the macOS Emby server?

@ginjaninja Please try the artist ? and the mysterians again.. Thanks

Not sure if I should make this it's own thread but I'll just start here. I updated TrueNAS Scale from Electric Eel (24.10) to Fangtooth (25.04) and currently Emby cannot detect my A770 for hardware acceleration. On Electric Eel, it was working just fine. Checking the hardware detection logs, I get an error for “Failed to open the drm device (null)”. I'm pointing my finger more at TrueNAS being the culprit, but checking if anyone here might have a workaround or solution. There's currently a workaround using shell commands for nvidia cards but doesn't really help much for Intel cards. hardware_detection-63916292682.txt

Thanks Luke this forum has been very helpful, but as I keep my media files on a separate hard drive I would prefer to have Emby use that. Problem is I couldn’t get Emby to “see” them. I’d like to not have to store these very large files on my main HDD.

@ginjaninjayou can play a single track. Request a specific track by a specific artist. Alexa, Ask Ear Wax to play song X by X Alexa, Ask Ear Wax to play track X by X I dont understand the purpose of shuffling a user defined list of tracks, the main purpose of the list of tracks, in the order you want to play them. Now you want to shuffle them, you could, just open the playlist and move tracks around. What order would Ear Wax be shuffling a playlist in? Help me understand Alexa Ask Ear Wax to Shuffle Album American Beauty Alexa Ask Ear Wax to repeat queue X times.. Where X <= 10 Alexa Ask Ear Wax to repeat track X times..

i dont think its possible to play tracks....."Ask ear wax to play song|track songname" would be nice. this is how emby does it. 2026-06-06 11:15:55.466 Debug ItemsService-0HNM3H17K1E96:00000002: http/1.1 Response 200 to ‌3.216.94.180‌.

Adding shuffle to playlists would be great. Emby does with by interfchanging play keyword with shuffle keyword....eg Alexa ask ear wax shuffle the playlist car But given that Ear Wax seems to have tighter control over the ongoing session as shown by "what is playing" could the command be issued after playback has started as well? Eg Alexa Ask Ear Wax play Album American Beauty. and then "Alexa [ask ear wax] shuffle" OR "Alexa [ask ear wax] shuffle loop" (and ear operates on the current queue)

• Open Ear Wax successfully. Yes. have to carefully annunciate "ear wax" and not let it slip into "earwax" - but thats just Alexa. its more reliable than "M B Home" for me. Alexa needs such an unnatural pause between syllables (words). Alexa thinks Amazon music is intended 1/20 thats just alexa. Anything that can be done to keep in the ear wax skill open once started for as long as possible so the skill does not need to be reinvoked would be a god send. Could Ear Wax be registered as an actual Alexa music service (like amazon music.spotify) and and could that improve interaction? To get your Alexa skill to appear in the native "Link New Services" list inside the Alexa app's Music & Podcasts settings, your skill must be officially certified and published using the Amazon Music Skill API.Standard custom skills (even those that stream audio) only appear in the general "Skills & Games" store. Only skills built strictly as native music providers can occupy a slot in the dedicated native services menu.

Do simple commands like 'next' get downloaded and cached in memory? • Stop playback. Fine

Hi, just upgraded (and jumped over some versions) to server version 4.9.5.0 And as I previously didn’t put different versions of movies or different resolutions of a movie in one folder – cause of structure reasons - I’m really very, very happy that at this point emby obviously made a move to support versions based on movie-id. (one thing I liked very much with infuse). Thank you! But: Although Emby switches (based on version selection) length, language and subtitle fields accordingly, the title (from nfo) stay’s the same, which unfortunately doesn’t allow me to select the version I wanna watch. Enclosed screenshots for example „Blade Runner“ – I have different versions and cuts of the movie. Right now there's no way to select the "Final-Cut" or the "Working Print".... I hope you can implement a kind of „Title-Switch“ soon. (And in this case "remembering" the watched/started version of the movie would also be very, very welcome;) __________ I also figured out that obviously „new added versions“ of an existing movie are not visible/shown as „new movies“. Maybe I missed: Is there any option to switch this on or off? (Example: Some movies I already own, I re-buy on bluray or UHD or get a new remastered version, but this "new entry" is not shown) Thank you so much for all the great work, I’m a big big Emby-Fan and very happy user.

Intel Arc B580 (Battlemage) - ffdetect crashes with exit code 135 (SIGSEGV) - Hardware transcoding not working on Unraid Hardware: Dell R740xd Intel Xeon Gold 6138 Matrox G200eW3 (onboard, card0) – native on motherboard Intel Arc B580 (PCIe, card1/renderD128) Unraid 7.3.1, kernel 6.18.33 Resizable BAR enabled in BIOS Problem: Emby 4.9.5.0 does not detect the Intel Arc B580 for hardware transcoding. Hardware Detection page shows no GPU adapters. Both VAAPI and QuickSync detection fail. Key finding from hardware_detection log: ffdetect version 5.1-emby_2023_06_25_p4 crashes with exit code 135 (SIGSEGV) for both VAAPI and QuickSync detection ExitCode: 135 (VAAPI) ExitCode: 135 (QuickSync) This is a segmentation fault – not just a "device not found" error, but a full crash of ffdetect when attempting to initialize VA-API with the B580. Additionally, the /dev/dri devices inside the container show group owner dialout instead of video: crwxrwxrwx 1 root dialout 226, 0 Jun 6 card0 crwxrwxrwx 1 root dialout 226, 1 Jun 6 card1 crwxrwxrwx 1 root dialout 226, 128 Jun 6 renderD128 What I have tried: Extra Parameters --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri --group-add 18 – no GPU detected Installed intel-media-driver (iHD_drv_video.so) manually inside container – still crashes vainfo --display drm --device /dev/dri/renderD128 inside container returns vaInitialize failed with error code -1 Tested with official emby/embyserver and emby/embyserver:beta images – same result, exit code 135 Tested with Ubuntu 24.04 intel-media-va-driver 24.1.0 – iHD_drv_video.so init failed error code 18 Tested with Ubuntu 25.04 intel-media-va-driver 25.1.2 – iHD hangs at Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_22, never returns Tested with Jellyfin-ffmpeg 7.1.3 – same iHD init hang for B580 chmod 777 /dev/dri/* and setfacl -m u:99:rw /dev/dri/* – no improvement What works on this system: FileFlows with Jellyfin-ffmpeg 7.1.4 successfully uses hevc_qsv with Intel Arc A310 (Alchemist) Plex successfully detects B580 but transcoding fails at stream start Conclusion: The root cause appears to be that ffdetect 5.1-emby_2023_06_25_p4 crashes (SIGSEGV, exit 135) when trying to initialize VA-API for Intel Arc B580 (Battlemage/Xe2). This is likely because the iHD driver bundled with ffdetect does not support Battlemage architecture. Question: Is there a planned update to ffdetect/ffmpeg with B580 support? The Emby forum thread #135987 mentions a fix was added in 4.9.2.1-beta but we cannot confirm this is present in the current release. Is there a workaround to manually replace the ffdetect binary or iHD driver? EDIT Root cause identified: The SIGBUS crash is a confirmed bug in Intel's iHD driver for Battlemage/B580. A bug report exists directly at Intel's media-driver GitHub (issue #1927 and #1893): "Running vainfo on Intel Arc B580 (Battlemage G21) with the iHD driver results in a SIGBUS crash during heap initialization in RenderHal_Initialize. The issue appears in memset() during state heap interface setup." The fix requires intel-media-driver version 25.3.2 or later (commit e46f78c35dfd11d7d95addf7b0b68685a2010fae). None of the tested Emby containers include this version. References: https://github.com/intel/media-driver/issues/1927 https://github.com/intel/media-driver/issues/1893 Updated question: Does Emby plan to update the bundled iHD driver to version 25.3.2+ to fix the SIGBUS crash on Intel Arc B580 (Battlemage)? Is there a workaround to mount the host iHD driver into the Emby container in the meantime?

@Asdepique777I made it work with the 2:3 aspect, not done yet as i basically just forced the aspect. Picture from my test server: Might have something tonight or tomorrow.

Hi Luke Yes, I'm on 4.9.5 but the issue is still there. It did it again last when starting to play a recorded movie. Thanks, Warren.

Tu es sur que le serveur tourne toujours ? il a pas changé d'ip ? a-t'il une IP fixe dans ton réseau local ou DHCP ?

I’m currently wrapping up the first release version. As soon as it’s ready, I’ll post it here.

This is an ongoing problem for me, to the point that Emby media player has always failed on the first start attempt but comes right on the second. However it won't complete a full start at all today just the black logo screen. Was there ever a resolution for it? My Emby sever is on a NAS and all devices accesss it by either wifi or cabled LAN. Emby runs perfectly fine on all other devices, including remote streaming, except on this particular Windows 11Pro PC (which is running NVDIA graphics card, which looking over posts seems to be a recurrent thread).

@nypauliehas this helped?

OK if you can provide screenshots and sample data then I can probably give a better answer. Thanks.

Hi. Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares? Thanks.
