Hi, we're looking into it. Thanks.

HI, yes these are supported and work just fine. I know there are improvements to this in the upcoming 4.9 server release. Thanks.

HI, this should be improved in the upcoming 4.9 server release. Thanks.

Here is the full emby server log if that helps embyserver.txt

These are just a small sample of the personal setups we're sharing. In this one, I just took a small focus on similar setups and the various uses for these. As someone else noted these servers are used for more than just Emby. Gaming rigs, home labs, etc. Everyone has different uses and demands so we are going to be sharing a lot of different use cases over the coming weeks.

This means I think I cannot seek when doing playback. What am I doing wrong? Live TV works fine within emby.

That appears the same structure as: Don't know if support for it was ever implemented, @Luke?

I have lots of files, both Movies and TV shows, that have subtitles in folders. Example: The Sopranos>The.Sopranos.S01>subs>The.Sopranos.S01E01>3_English.srt In this situation, the subtitles aren't recognized. How can I remedy this?

Lots of us use our servers for tasks beyond just Emby and Intel's use of P and E cores and recent generations have been disappointing for CPU intensive and multi-core workloads.

Just curious? Way are all these based on AMD CPU's + Nvidia GPU's, when an Intel CPU c/w (included) iGPU (UHD 7x0 or better) will work better, is much cheaper, uses way less power... Even an ARC A/B### is better (mostly for upgrades)... ...for emby. BTW, I do get that AMD may be better for gaming, but not for transcoding. (don't tell me that emby is used for gaming as I've never seen a positive comment on the gaming plugin)

What I mean by “immersive gesture control” is the ability to control various aspects of playback—such as seeking, volume, and brightness—without having to bring up the control overlay. It can bring fluid, distraction-free interaction. This is a common feature in many modern video apps. Currently, if you want to stop playback, you need to tap the screen to reveal the control overlay, then tap the stop button. Similarly, double-tapping to fast-forward 10 seconds also brings up the overlay, which is unnecessary. Adjusting brightness requires opening the overlay and interacting with the brightness slider. Swipe gestures really is the best answer. They allow users to fast-forward, rewind, or adjust volume and brightness seamlessly, without interrupting playback or revealing on-screen UI elements. Unfortunately, it seems the devs are reluctant to add it for years. I still kindly urge the team to reconsider implementing it—at least as a toggleable option in settings. Other than swipe gestures, many modern players offer alternatives that are worth considering , such as: Two-finger tap to toggle play/pause; Double-tapping seeking that doesn’t invoke the control overlay.

ADM Plugin does not scrape anything, it accesses a flatfile database which is huge. I still have all the data, all I have done at the moment is turned the server off. Currently I have very little time on my hands to do much of anything computer related. However I am open to ideas, so it could possibly be re-instated in the not so distant future. All I have to do is comply legally by making absolutely sure no minors can access the data. For me that's a bit of a challenge, the current server would need some changes as well as the plugin.

Excellent information! I am so out of touch of what is what anymore/

Ahh okay. Well at any rate she plugged it in at her place and it all works. So idk why my test run didn't work but it's all good now. She's going to get another roku to leave at the apartment so we don't have to deal with this again. Thank you all for the help, much appreciate.

I think you are misunderstanding. Set it up with internet and WiFi working on her router. Now connect the Roku to that router and login normally. That will work with internet since the ethernet cable is hooked up. Run all the System Update and let the Roku update anything it must. Including the Emby app. The Roku Emby app must stay in sync with the version of Emby server you use. Once you get the Roku to work correctly with internet this is the part where it can confuse you. You need to pull the power cord off the Roku. Make it believe there was a power outage that also wiped out the internet. Then pull the ethernet from the router. Now plug the power back into the Roku. It will auto-connect to the router and notice no internet and ask to check the connection. Tell it skip or not to or press Home on the remote. There is an option to NOT have it check the connection and reconnect. Once you skip it shouldn't bother you again. It will just think you have a temporary internet outage after the power outage. You will be left with the Roku light blinking since it cannot access internet. This is how Roku makes it so users are aware the device cannot update. But you should be able to double-press the Home button and get to your apps. Emby will launch, but will trigger the dialog that says it might need internet. You can launch it anyways. Make sure you are not entering the WiFi setup again after you initially set it up.

Hi. I'm disconnected to my server, too. How can I regain access to my server? I can sign in but it looks like i have 2 shared libraries. The one that's working isn't updated to the latest shows/episodes. I can't reconnect to my reliable/typical shared library that was current to all movies and shows.

I have this exact same issue on an android tablet. Only for certain titles. Funnily enough I'm also trying to download pirates of the Caribbean (2003). And it just sits on ready to transfer, but never downloads

@LukeI've noticed this happens a lot more when going from one device to another. Like, pausing it on my TV and then try to resume on the iPad.

So I actually had brought her router and roku to my house, plugged the router into my modem to provide internet. Then I signed in on the Roku (but I didn't have her server with me so I couldn't actually sign into the server on the emby app). Upon unhooking the ether net cable providing internet to her router, the Roku says not connected on the main screen and when I try to connect to that same router/ssid, it fails.

I understood, but I enabled ALL the flags for all formats... and nothing changes! This movie is coded with H264, mkv container. Ah... got it... such large numbers are all the movies in my libraries. @Lukehere the server log. is it enough? Thanks embyserver (3).txt

Good! I'm going to try to put all the details of the problem. I have an AS6704TGen2 asustor with emby premiere installed. In my house, with an LG C1, I have no problem. I have 1gb of speed. I share my library with a friend of mine. My friend has an LG Nanocell 2024. The other day I wanted to watch this movie but when it hits play, the emby app closes suddenly, and the television says that it comes out due to lack of memory. I add the screenshot movies of those that make me unable to watch the movies. In my nas I want to do Directplay, and I configured the user to the maximum everything. I also add a screenshot. I'm already desperate to know the origin of the reason why it doesn't work. In case you can help me. Thank you very much.

The searching for books works good. It can be a bit challenging at time with the same book appearing as multiple different works on OpenLibrary. But that's a data quality issue on their end and has nothing to do with Emby. Right now I can see that once identified Emby scrapes the cover, title and description of the books. It would be really nice if it got the other info as well - release date and year and author would some of the items at the very top of my wish list in this regard. But publisher, rating, language and series would also be very nice meta-data to get too.

We'd have to see the server log, but generally it takes the name of the folder that it thinks is the tv series and plugs that into tvdb/moviedb searches.

Which is fine, but how come it decided not just for me, but at least for two other people, that the show in question was Flåklypa and at least in my case, mixed it up with something else? That makes no sense at all, especially as I don't know what either of those are.

Thanks. I turned the intros off, and it still doesn't play. Im thinking its something with the Nvidia Shield. I have two Onn 4k boxes in my bedrooms, and the movie plays fine. I have two Nvidia Shields, and tried it on both of them, and it just won't play. It's weird because the Nvidia will normally play anything.
