Is there a plan to implement this feature now or in the future, or what conditions need to be met before it can be considered?

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I want. I think for episodes of a season, horizontal scrolling works pretty well. I know there's been some contention about horizontal scrolling in collections not being good (and FWIW, I do think vertical scrolling for collections works better) but for episodes horizontal scrolling should be fine. Though I think having the option to choose between horizontal and vertical scrolling makes the most sense, especially if you can choose per show (like maybe you choose what you want the default for TV shows to be, but then you can override the default for each show individually in case there's a show that's listed as one season with a hundred episodes or something). Either way though, having a separate "extras" section after the episode list just looks cleaner in my opinion.

We'll incorporate disc number into the determination of uniqueness. 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.

What exact commands did you give to Siri?

@jriker1?

I am continuing to see this issue. Particularly with roku devices. Same channel cannot be played. Just shows a black screen.

I’ve been attempting to setup an offline Emby server for simple Media streaming from a Synology DS224+ to several iPads. The issue presenting itself is there is no playback on several of the iPads, while the iOS app works perfectly on 2 out of 10 iPads only. Libraries are populated as they should be, but when selecting a Movie and the “Play” button, simply nothing happens (no error messages). As mentioned on 2/10 iPads playback happens immediately with no problems. On the iPads that can’t playback through the App, playback is fine when connecting directly to the server via the browser. All apps and devices are fully up to date, I periodically connect them to the internet when I’m uploading new media. Fairly new to this so any assistance would be appreciated, cheers.

Hi, thanks for following up.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Hi, that’s every three hours. Thanks for the feedback.

Screenshot example of that?

Hi, what have you tried so far?

Hi, yes there will be a group by button in 4.8.8. 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.

Hi, how does playing with the web app compare?

Hi, how did you confirm this?

Hi, that should be all you have to do. Maybe it’s in the m3u more than once?

Hi there @GRS1077 let’s look at a specific example: How to Report a Problem Thanks!

How have you configured server network settings?

Sure, in the spirit of not infringing on anyone's copyright (lol) - I'll throw some random .mkv together and throw a subtitle in there and see if I can replicate with that.

Have you tried adding this new range to the 'LAN Networks' section of the Emby 'Network' page?

@sa2000after some testing I found plugin STRM EXTRACT is whats causing the problem in conjunction with my IPTV provider, and I have a work-around. If I add a TV show .strm file before its released, my provider will add at 15 sec video clip saying something like video is not available, or something. Strm extract will log that 15sec video as the source. Once the video is live its a different format. It seems like when someone tries playing the live video and it needs transcoding Emby doesnt work as it thinks the format is the 15sec clip not the actual format the video is in. Work arounds: 1. Remove STRM Extract plugin or 2. or after TV show is live, delete the .strm, refresh library, then add back the .strm and have STRM extract re-scan the video thats now linked to the correct format.

Ah, I was missing the dash... Renamed to ("Dune Part Two (2024) [tmdbid=693134] - extra details of the file.mkv"), and it worked, thanks and sorry!

For comparison purposes, below is an image of my Emby John Lennon page: (Note: I have hidden the Emby Songs Vertical Section with CSS, so just considering the albums rows in this post.) The Albums section is all good, where John Lennon is the Album Artist. The Appears On section combines John Lennon albums as a (non Album Artist) Artist performer and a (non Album Artist) Composer. Therefore, of the 11 albums visible in the screenshot, 10 are obvious Composer credits only. It is not until the 9th album (The Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl) that a genuine John Lennon “performed on” album appears. (And, even that is from a Composer credit! - but I can likely deal with that type of issue with my embedded tags). It is certainly valid to show the John Lennon Composer info (possibly in a separate row), but not mixed with the Artist (performer) info. Another observation is that the Albums section can be ‘clicked on’ to give an expanded grid view, but the Appears On section cannot. With the (current) Appears On section and (future?) Appears On/Albums Composed sections, it would be helpful to have the expanded grid views as well. For largish music libraries (like the John Lennon example) there could easily be 50+ Albums for each separate Albums/Appears On/Albums Composed category. Any improvements with this would be most appreciated!
