Having the same issue. Not sure when it started though. What's weird is that it works fine on the emby android app on my phone, but the web version and various smart tv's/dongles aren't working. Should I start a separate topic?

If you have the series in both your recordings library as well as another TV library, then you may want to check and make sure that the external id's in the metadata editor for both series are the same.

Cast to a Chromecast HD connected via HDMI to a Vizio TV. The skip intro button is visible in the app on the Android tablet I cast from. Clicking does skip but it never does it automatically.

Hi @apefraycan we please look at a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks.

HI, what device did you cast to? Where exactly did you see a skip intro button?

@Lukesome apps show the artist logo associated with the music video on the OSD, some do not. The logo comes from the artist logo in the music database. To your point, one could add the artist logo manually to every music video but in some aps the playing video displays artist logo that is already in the music database. The Android TV ap (and I think in Emby theater) already display the artist logo related to the music video artist in the OSD even if there is no logo in the music video metadata istelf. The FR is to have the same behavior in the other APs.

OK, to Emby those are just images. There's no way to know what the text inside the image says. Therefore this is a question for your xml guide data source.

Thanks Luke, here they are. The ffmpeg that ends in -1 was first, then the _1 I played BBC 1, channel 60 ffmpeg-transcode-5dab7cb9-0f99-4779-9a47-457d3098de91_-1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-4657038d-e035-4875-80cc-d6d610554093_1.txt embyserver(20).txt

Hi, have you updated to Emby Server 4.8.5? Has that helped?

I don't think that's related, but will investigate.

Hi, have you tried Apple TV settings?

Not sure if I understand your question, but if you already have a host address for your Emby you can go to Settings -> Network and put it where it says External domain.

HI, what confirmation are you referring to?

LUKE.. you have been so helpful in the past... of COURSE I want to stay with emby...EMBY for the WIN

Have you solved this?

HI, do those entries in your live tv guide have images?

HI, please attach the emby server log from when you tried to do that: How to Report a Problem Thanks.

HI, logos are already supported. Where are you looking for them?

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

hi, don't you want a personal media server and not one that puts your information into the cloud?

For me, I won't lie, it occasionally hangs. But I have an overall large library. But I can jump from A to Z in under 20 seconds. I am using the BETA version of the Roku app which will fetch larger chunks rather than so many small chunks. The Roku does not handle fetches that occur back to back very well, which is how the jumping works. We do have a new version of the jumping which attempts it more like the web app. But it isn't a cure. I do not know why the Roku loses the observer when you call this over and over. But if you press the fast-forward button over and over you kind of simulate exactly like jumping is doing. It has something to do with when the request times out it isn't contacting the observer so it can know the last fetch failed and then continue on and fetch more. Instead, it gets stuck. There are a few ways we can solve this but none make this work any better. The new version of the jumping which copies the web app is better. But it isn't doing the fetching any different. It just immediately knows where to go in the new version index wise. The old version was checking letters for everything until it saw what it needed. Obviously knowing the index to jump to is better then checking first letters of everything you get. We can do a few things to make this tolerable and I have discussed all of these with @ebrand we may have to spend some deliberate time speeding up these fetches. ------------- @chrisrobbins1970I can actually reproduce the hangs on the jumping when going A-Z at certain times. My library.db is almost 3GB and the machine it runs on has 8GB RAM. Emby is usually eating a good 67% of that RAM at any given point. I have increased the DB cache to 3184 and the cleanup to 100000. That way it will keep most of the DB in RAM when doing these queries. I also run off an m2 nvme but that isn't helping. The Roku still hangs occasionally on my movie library. That being said, it isn't the end all end all. We will find the cause of the damn thing. Because it is causing this kind of response with users and even myself. The more squeaks heard the more grease it causes us to put on that spot. I also find the reliability of the jumping to annoy me as well on the Roku and I help build the damn thing. This is not something in the code, but something in how the Roku handles the code, so we will adapt accordingly and figure out how to please the beast. Just know that we will put some serious time into this and figure out how to best handle this. I will get with @ebragain and we will figure out a solution that everyone can be happy with. Please be patient and give us some time to get something together.

Testing this it does not appear to be an issue but they should be in a trailers folder if not named same as media. Trailers | Emby Documentation

i guess I can remove them all..but WOW that will be alot to replace....

Dependency injection is a quite useful pattern, but it also has some drawbacks in certain cases like for example it can lead to constructor bloat, or if you have a lot of singleton objects which you cannot register (see above) from a plugin. We have another patterrn used in newer development, which complements (but doesn't replace) DI. It is about using a common base class for all the classes in your plugin codebase (except the plugin itself). The base class for your base class is Emby SDK Reference: CommonBaseCore. It provides a number of useful methods for logging, localization and service acquisition - via Emby SDK Reference: CommonBaseCore.GetService<T>(). The latter is equivalent to Emby SDK Reference: IApplicationHost.Resolve<T>(), which you can override to return your own "registered" singleton objects and otherwise fallback to the base implementation. To use this, you need to create your base class, e.g. "CommonBase", deriving from "CommonBaseCore" and you also need to create an implementation of Emby SDK Reference: IServiceRoot for adding your custom mechanism for resolving. Then you can derive your classes from that base class. Let me know when you got any more questions about it.

Note that according to the server, the client has been connected and watching this 32 minute episode for over 17 hours. It ends up she paused the playback and never went back to it. The TV eventually shut itself off but the ATV did not. I asked her to exit out of the Emby client and the server saw the disconnect within a minute. 1) Is there a way to limit client connect time? 2) Is there a way in the dashboard to force disconnect a client?
