I sent you log in DM. Thank you for your support !

They send Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 (lossy) with optional 'JOC' Atmos) - this is not the same as True-HD (with real Atmos) or DTS-HD (or DTS:X) (both lossless). No mainstream streaming service uses losssless audio. Having said that, the THD from emby should not be passed as Stereo - it should be encoded to AC3 (5.1) - but if you want the best available sound and want lossless/Atmos/DTS-X etc - then you need to not use the TV as the client - and use something like an Nvidia Shield Pro directly into your AVR via HDMI. (passing the 4K Video to your TV). See below (uses an LG TV as an example, but same rules apply) https://emby.media/support/articles/LG-Why-not-Atmos.html JOC Atmos - https://professionalsupport.dolby.com/s/article/What-is-Dolby-Digital-Plus-JOC-Joint-Object-Coding?language=en_US

I think I expect too much. Oh well.

Thanks, now is working! I put the file on usb and it upgraded itself.

The auto update is on, why the app is not updating itself?

More updates, including Stable and Beta server releases.

Also the playback issue is presumably FireTV related.

Updated the client to beta 2.1.12g Repeated the previous scenario. All works well this time. I'm not sure that it always failed before, but this is positive. I'll let you know if there are further problems. In the mean time - thanks

Jellyfin works better but has an ui ugly as hell for my taste and I do like the way Emby works with the skip intro functionality. I miss h265 encoding though… maybe I’ll give it a try again this year to see the improvements.

So a interesting one. it looked like there was a issue with the client speaking back to the server. I enabled SSL for the server and only allowed the ssl port through but i saw in the logs the client was trying to connect on the non ssl port and was getting a 404 error, or a 304 I have now run a nginx reverse proxy in from of the emby server and this seems to have resolved the issue. not getting any 304 or 404 errors anymore. This is strange since i have done this many times and only this time did if give me this error.

Any updates on this issue? I am also facing this with the LG Emby app.

Thanks guys for your help. I've decided to leave the Profile icon up. When it's me logged in, I have the "Manage Emby Server" option. With other users, it is not available. Does anyone know what the CSS is to hide the "App Setting Emby Web 4.8.6.0" and Cog in the profile menu?

It's the weirdest thing, on my nvidia shield, if I close emby i.e. hit the back button and hit 'yes' to exit - when I try and load emby again, it will just hang infinitely. same goes with hitting the home button twice and pressing down to remove the app from recent. the only way to get back into emby is completely uninstalling it and re-installing it, oddly going into storage and clearing data and cache doesn't do the trick (makes no sense to me). rebooting the shield also does nothing, it HAS TO BE an uninstall and re-install. IF I just hit the home button and let emby stay in the background and do whatever and go back into emby, it's totally fine so long as I didn't actually close emby. I'm completely dumbfounded by this because nothing makes sense to me.

Hmm - didn't seem to have any effect when I tried on 4.8.6. Anything more than a reboot needed after editing?

lol it just buffered once when saying that, on my phone

So far it seems like Turbo, testing it out, works really well on phone cellular data but on the tablet with hotspot for it there is still buffering. Who watches movies and tv shows on a phone though lol ? No offense.

Thanks. The only way to be sure or 100% no buffering is to put the media on the device itself sadly. To bad there is no way to do that automatically randomly transfer a original 4k copy video/movie/tv show on iPads from PCs

I guess it would vary as network throttling happens during peak hours as I have seen my cellular data go from less than 1Mbps to over 180Mbps. Also will depend on your 4K also as user rips will likely have extremely high bitrates for any given WAN connection let alone a wireless network.

Mini-Series?

Do you think it will help with 4k video streaming with no buffering over cellular or that is stupid and impossible ?

I just checked again, with a different file, but still TrueHD sound, and it does play and has sound when I turn off transcoding. Thank you, now I know. So that probably means when the playback is stuttering or not loading at all, my server is taking too long to transcode the audio?

Love these! Any chance you have one for Home-MusicVideos?

The plugin has an option labeled "factory reset". It resets Kodi's database and the plugin settings (and some Kodi settings) to default. A new init sync is required probably also a new login to Emby server. It's not related to Android or Emby server settings/databases. Some plugin versions upgrades needs a factory reset and is mandatory forced on Kodi start.

Should be also fast, I need a kodi.log including the init sync, if I should check it.

Doesn't help with other clients but editing scrollx in linkeditems.js will remove scroll per row.
