It is a solution that would take a lot of time and work when there are many series and many chapters... As in Plex there are never problems with ASS subtitles or any other type of subtitle, it plays all of them On the other hand, Emby cannot do the same...

Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening? It's on Windows, at first I thought maybe my machine was updating and restarting which would need my password to actually start windows and then start emby, but that's not it. Every day or two, I'll go to watch something and it won't work because the server isn't running. The computer hasn't restarted (I have emby as a startup app anyway), all other programs are still running fine. Of the files below, 355 is apparently when it was running. At some point after that, it shut down. 450 is when I manually restarted it. Thanks for any help embyserver355.txt hardware_detection450.txt

I complain a lot, but truthfully I'm exasperated as I've been asking the Emby devs for audiobook support since October 2017, which is four years before Audiobookshelf ever existed. So when a dev here says "Why do you think it doesn't work well?" that just hits home how they never used it for that before. Making separate feature requests for individual improvements at this stage is like picking what color paint to use on a house with no electrical wiring or plumbing. Sure, it works as a shelter but it doesn't have the necessary amenities. If the person building it never actually uses it enough to notice what's missing, there's no way they can know what people who do use it actually want. Plain and simple, audiobook functionality on Emby is ugly and barebones for a lot of reasons, and it won't improve until the devs actually use it to listen to audiobooks.

@Luke3.3.86 update still hasn't fixed it in case you want to know. Also, any chance to get a setting which puts the device at max brightness automatically when opening an image?

And in the server it says 'Thank you for donating..' like in the picture I posted above ?

I still am not convinced it is pinging my NetPVR server on my pc, I don't believe the plugin has such a dependency. Regardless, I have only 5 OTA channels of approximately 41 that I receive via antenna, so if it is doing "something", somehow to identify my, it is clearly not accomplishing the stated goal. Yes I do. Maybe I should just use that and forget Emby LOL

See description above for details... I added a new - never used tag called xyz to the user's block list. It had no effect and that user could still see all versions of Peter and the Wolf. I then went to a different title and added the xyz tag to its metadata (="Active" in use somewhere on the server). At that point the user could no longer see more than 2 of the versions of Peter and the Wolf. I went back to the other title and removed the xyz tag, meaning that no title on the server had that tag in its metadata (= "inactive" / not used anywhere). The user still could not see more than 2 versions of Peter and the Wolf. (I.e. it did not revert to its original behavior once the xyz tag was removed from the other title.) If the xyz tag was removed from the user's block list all versions were visible. If the xyz tag was re-added to the user's blocklist only 2 versions were visible even though the xyz tag was no longer in the metadata for any title on the server. If any tag that has been used in any title's metadata at any time (and doesn't need to be currently used anywhere) is present in a user's block list, then that user cannot see more than 2 versions of a given title on my server (in any client - Web, Roku, Android). Any number of tags in a user's block list that have never been used in any metadata it is OK and the user can see all versions available for a title, but once one or more tags that have ever been used in metadata (even if currently not present in any metadata) are included in a user's block list, that user can only see 2 versions available for a title, even though all versions of that title have no tags in their metadata (separated or grouped).

When Emby logs into NextPVR, it gets back a flag saying whether or not a donation has been registered on that NextPVR server. Emby then use that flag to determine what channels to give you. As emveepee suggested, the logs would be able to tell us more.

What do they ask when they call, to identify me, there is no common linkage.

@phulteendo you have NextPVR server installed ?

The two servers are connected by http and one of the API calls determines the donation state. If you post the Emby or NextPVR logs we can check the session.login call. The NextPVR server doesn't really care if you are an Emby user.

If you're doing it off your PC you can try Lossless Scaling in steam. There's an anime4k option that is probably what youre looking for since most anime is 1080p. YMMV but you can at least return it on steam if it doesn't work.

The NextPVR app where I made the donation and the Emby app where the NextPVR plugin is used and constrained by EMBY are completely separate, how does Emby make this determination? (They have not.) They have no way to link my donation from a separate app to their app. I don't see that they're making an inquiry of NextPVR as per my donation, if so, what criteria would they use to identify me as an Emby user being the same as a NextPVR user? FYI, I have restarted the Emby server and refreshed guide data countless times. I think the answer is that Emby is not able to fulfill this advertised feature.

Oh I got it...the show was recognised, but the episode format was wrong so it could not understand which episode I was searching for...I had to change some filenames in ther server and rescanned....and it worked.......still it would be nice if I could somehow just search for the keywords without opening up the server file manager....

Has your show been identified? As query is made by episode/TV Show IMDBId/Hash/filename/season string, not by filename alone.

Hello, Searching string: `barclays` Searching in explorer (gives 13 video files): Searching in Jellyfin (gives 13 video files): Searching in Emby (gives 1 video file): BTW Logs doesnt say anything as well: Thanks!

So I have a show I want to download the subtitle of, but the file name is just E01.mp4, and emby just uses that as a search query..so it shows completely unrelated results...is there any way I can input search query to search for the correct subtitles?

Am I going crazy or is there not a forum to post questions and issues with the Emby Client App for macOS?

I currently have all of my movies named by name and year "Back to the Future (1985)" and my trailers appended with -trailer at the end of that same name. I also have some multiples in the same folder named with that same structure but with -Directors Cut and -Theatrical Release. This works great .......I want to add some automation on my masking and the movie names are going to have to change to be able to output the aspect ratio I would think "Aliens (1979)_AR235" would still be fine but what about trailers and multiples? Would "Aliens (1979)-trailer_AR235" or "Aliens (1979)-Directors Cut_AR235" be ok? Won't cause anything to act wonky? I feel like it's going to make the drop down for the multiple say exactly what is after the dash.....including _AR235 Thanks for any advice on how to handle this...I could always put the different versions in it's own folder I guess.

A plugin cannot alter any Emby GUI. So the only way to do this would be to burn the logo into the video. I don't think anybody wants transcoding to happen just for the "channel logo overlay".

At the time of the guide refresh, the plugin checks if the program cache file has enough data for the next 48 hours. If not, then new data is added to the cache. But this new data is used with the next guide refresh, not the current one.

Yes it's the delete-after-playback option ... sorry for my english ! Many thanks for your support

Hello, Is there some setting that will overlay videos when they play in the web player so that they are lightened/washed out? I've seen it on different users on different computers (Windows) in Chrome. Not sure about other browsers. The overlay disappears when interacting with the player controls, for example by clicking on the settings icon in the player. Once the player controls are no longer actively being used (but still visible, and after hidden) the lightening overlay reappears. I've tinkered with the styles without any luck but honestly didn't spend a lot of time on it. Thanks for any feedback.

Hi, found it, it all works as intended now. I was looking only at the subtitle settings of the server and the subtitle settings that appear when playing a movie. My bad, thanks for the help!

I can scroll through the list of extras and play individual ones, but I'd like a "Play All" button next to the "Extras" section header that will play all of them back to back. Some movies have a separate file for each deleted scene, but I don't want to have to keep scrolling and clicking through the list to play them all (and I don't want to simply merge them all into one file because then I lose the ability to just play a specific one). I also don't want to manually create a bunch of playlists to simulate this.
