lack of future support

I would be keen on this

Are there any recommendations on how to set this up? I wouldn't mind revisiting this and try to use my IPTV provider in Emby again. I had having lots of issues with freezing and channels failing to start when using Emby so I switch to using TiviMate directly and my issues all went away so I don't think it's my provider.

We can give feed back to the provider, but we are not sure what to tell them. The codecs and all other stuff as far as I can tell are the same on this channel over others, at least looking at VLC. If we knew what was wrong that the Roku hated, that would be helpful.

I figured as much. But was hoping there was something Emby could do

Hi. This would be fairly clear evidence that it is an issue at the source. Some players are more tolerant of bad inputs. The Roku player is not tolerant at all. It expects basically a perfectly formed input.

Thank you for your amazing work. Used this to build the latest stable 4.8.11.0 image and transcoding works now on my N150.

Hi. The answer would be because the guide data doesn't include the information that they are movies. This data comes from the channels themselves and they may just not provide it.

Hello Emby Team, I’m using the official Emby client on my Samsung Smart TV (Tizen OS), and I’d like to request a feature that is critical for screen health — especially for OLED/QLED displays: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@14.0.2/assets/72x72/1f539.png Auto black screen or screensaver when playback is paused for a long time (e.g. 5–10 minutes). Why this is important: Leaving a paused video on screen for extended time can lead to pixel burn-in Most TVs (especially Samsung) do not trigger the system screensaver while an app like Emby is keeping a frame on screen Competing platforms (Emby Theater, Android TV) already support some form of screensaver or black-out on idle Suggested implementation: Add a setting to Emby for Tizen client: Enable screensaver on pause https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@14.0.2/assets/72x72/2705.png Screensaver timeout (minutes) https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@14.0.2/assets/72x72/23f1.png Option: show black screen, or soft screensaver logo I believe this would be a relatively small addition, but very useful for a large portion of users with modern Samsung TVs. Thank you for your amazing work — looking forward to your feedback! Best regards, Yurii / Emby user from Ukraine

Hi, there's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

Thanks! would you recommend that over StreamMaster?

Why aren't these two movies highlighted (in purple) as movies? I see this often and it is irritating.

I can't remember which image I used, but would highly recommend dispatcharr instead since you are already planning to use docker.

I'll answer my own question here. The AI Gods answered the question "does docker bridge network support multicast?" "Docker's default bridge network does not natively support multicast. While the underlying Linux bridge can handle multicast, Docker's default network setup and how it interacts with Linux kernel multicast routing present limitations. However, multicast can be achieved using other networking options like host networking, macvlan, or by using workarounds like running a multicast routing daemon" So DLNA, which requires multicast support, will never work over the Docker bridge network driver. Other methods such as macvlan could be made to work but that's more aggro that I want! For now, the music is playing and that's all I wanted. Thanks for your help Luke! I did try finding out the answer before posting on here but I didn't know enough to search for the right thing.

DVD source material is known for audio sync issues. It depends on how the media was encoded from the DVD source and, of course the DVD audio / video possible copy protection. Media playing back in sync with a 3rd party player does not really tell you anything about file errors with the media. The symptoms are the audio and subtitles will not stay in sync. Pausing or fast forward changes the sync. Getting a useable copy from DVD media often requires some extra steps. Since a quick capture seems to work and plays back if you do not pause or change the timeline position, people often think the copied media is fine. It isn't. A quick search find hundreds of posts about this issue: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=DVD+audio+sync+error+media+encoding+steps&ia=web Example steps to fix with one software: https://www.winxdvd.com/answers/fix-winx-dvd-ripper-video-audio-out-of-sync-error.htm It is worth testing from online media test files to see if these are playing correctly in sync. If that is true, then it does point to your copied DVD media as the problem.

How interesting - that worked! So, in the app config on TrueNAS, I selected "Host network" and then used Portainer to look-up the correct port which is of course the default: 8096 (I'd forgotten). I could then access Emby using the TrueNAS host IP but on that port - just like I always did before TN's per-app IP feature landed (which I guess is bridge networking mode). With some Nginx config, Emby can be accessed by hostname again. Presumably this is to do with the change of network isolation between Docker container and Docker host (from host mode to bridge mode) as a result of the per-app feature. How can this DLNA discovery be made to work while still using bridge mode?

Ok, so I couldn't make it work, and I thought maybe the problem is in my Docker container (I was using binhex-emby on my Unraid server, so non-official) or there are troubles in some configs So I installed official Docker, set up the server all anew, and the files I couldn't make work on another server worked like a charm! But I did not rejoice for long, because now totally different files wouldn't work! Same TV, same client, same network, just different instances of the Emby server. It just like the server at some point just randomly chooses some files and refuses to play them whatever you do, and it has nothing to do with the very files.

Having this also - only liveTV. Everything else works fine with Chromecast. Any have any workarounds until this is fixed?

It's on my to do list. I don't expect the basics should be very different since Radarr is a fork of Sonarr. The thing I need to look into more is how to handle/how I want to handle the tags on the Emby side. For instance, do I just tag a show? Do I have to tag the seasons of the show? Do I have to tag the individual episodes, or does tagging at either of the other levels handle that? Do I even want to tag individual episodes? There's a bit more with a show than a movie...

Hi, any chance you are getting close to a solution yet? To note, I have found that when selecting dvdsub type subtitles, the subs do not seem to get out of sync.

Nice! - got one for sonarr?

I would try host network anyway even with those fields disappearing. that just means you have to configure that on the host system.

I clicked get API, went to Trakt, hit authorize or whatever, copied new API key and put it into Emby and hit Save. I had noticed that scribbling stopped 2 weeks ago and figured best option was to generate a new key.

Hi, what if you just remove your user info altogether ?
