Actually, your perception of "much better" is what others would perceive as a flaw. They take the first album artist value and apply it to all songs in the same folder, thereby ignoring it for all subsequent ones. For someone with messy tags, this might make them think that Plex has great music handling, but for everyone else, it becomes a limitation.

(FWIW) Some more thoughts/ideas/suggestions... I’d consider Genres-Styles as having a very similar Parent-Child relationship to Albums-Songs. For Genres-Styes, this would need to be a many-to-many database relationship because a Parent Genre could have many Child Styles, plus a Child Style could have more than one Parent. E.g. a Folk Rock Style could ‘belong’ to both Folk and Rock Parent Genres. If the current individual Genre pages evolved into detail pages (as described in my previous posts), then this potentially gives a relatively easy way to link/map Styles to Genres, within Emby. E.g. selecting the Edit icon (as on many detail pages now) opens up an Edit window. Genre appears in these windows now – replace it with Style within a new Genre Edit window. An enhanced individual Genre detail page would likely be useful for a majority of users, evidenced by the many forum Genre topics and discussions. A new individual Style page could be either detailed or simple. Perhaps simple (similar to the current Tags tree structure and pages) would be preferred because Style ‘sits below’ Genre and is likely less important for a majority of users. Style could potentially become a top-level menu tab. This would create some crowding of the menu bar, but this could be somewhat mitigated by implementing a customisable menu bar (which is a very popular feature request). Style could be added to various filter options. This may help where some people don’t have enough AND/OR options with Genres alone, now. Lastly, add a Links section to the bottom of individual Genre pages and automatically show links to the relevant MusicBrainz and Discogs Genre pages (if this is technically possible). I started drawing a diagram of the above and it got complex quite quickly! I also asked an unnamed AI source to do it for me, but it declined to help! So, we need the Emby gurus to perform some Style magic for us all!

Yes it should be your dashboard address. But if you go to Change server you should be able to click the menu options on your server to show server info.

Hi, please attach the emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks.

User Sessions view is part of the Diagnostics plugin.

Hi Luke in the interim is if possible to release an updated version with the latest mpv version 0.38?

Where so you get this detailed statistic view from?

And I have rebooted the server. Is there somewhere to see what ip address emby Connect is using? Or is it the one shown on server dashboard (which is displaying my current ip address, and I am able to connect using this)

I've tried it both ways, with the same issue.

In the end everything has already been mentioned as compilation albums will have their own requirement to be merges as structure is irrelevant.

There are a few problems with this. 1. I don't have the disk space. Since I bought my disks I have become very poor, and I can't afford the hard disks to do that. 2. After I ripped my disks I did a comparison of FLAC vs MP3 (with good bitrate) vs Vorbis. Vorbis won, I could get down to a very low bitrate before I actually heard degradation. Really I wish I had everything in Vorbis, not MP3 or FLAC, because it also took the least space and I could use the disk space just now. The reason I didn't do it at the time was that Vorbis wasn't playable on my iPod. I used Plex to manage my collection. I like Plex. I have a lifetime license to it. (Don't have a license for Emby, although I did pay for the app for my Fire Stick. I don't have the money for it.) I had to stop using Plex because while I think it's superb for someone who doesn't want to spent a lot of time setting it up and has a smallish library, it couldn't at all cope with the size of my collection - for example, I have over 30,000 photos, and it would spend so much time indexing them that it wouldn't finish until after the next indexing was supposed to start. Plex didn't have a problem with my music collection. It wasn't perfect, but its default take on my collection was much better than Emby. If you mean what did I use to rip the music, the answer is iTunes because at the time I used Mac. I have since switched to PC, Android, etc. I pointed it at my music folder and let 'er rip, having gotten the program before your message. I regretted it in that it took forever to process all of my music. I am a computer programmer, so I'm good with software and used to the idea of "you changed it, you can't change it back." (about Autoharp Legacy) I wasn't kidding when I said I have hundreds of albums with problems, so that one is a drop in the ocean for me. As a programmer I approach it as "there is a data problem." When I am trying to manually correct a data problem on that scale, I don't care about diagnosing the problem with each item (like that album), I merely observe that there is a problem and correct all data. Then if it works, I don't care what the specific problem was, whatever it was I fixed it. (Tag sources) I haven't tried to figure that out yet, thanks for pointing it out, I noticed but decided to leave it for later.

Was unable to replicate the issue you described with those steps. Probably need to see the server log for a specific example showing sets above.

I have the same problem and just found this post. GoPro videos not playing on Nvidia shield. Is it possible for me to force a transcode manually? It would definitely be nice to be able to play the raw GoPro files.

Could somebody please confirm the following issue? Using 4.8.5.0 on Windows, and Firefox web client 1) Add a movie to a collection 2) Edit subtitles - download a subtitle 3) The movie disappears from the collection

Hi there, what exactly happened when you tried?

I've solved it, at least I currently see no errors, and each of the servers seems to be functioning as intended. Directory structure on host: /docker-data/emby/ (all emby container stuff) Server 1 (master) Fetches graphics/info etc. during scan NFO files in media directory Graphics in media directory Embyconfig: Metafolder: /config/metadata Intro Backup /config/metadata/intros /docker-data/emby/server1/config:/config:rw /docker-data/emby/server1/library:/config/metadata/library:rw /docker-data/emby/metadata:/config/metadata:rw /mnt/media:/media:rw Server 2 (slave) All libraries are only allowed to read local metadata, no automatic scans. Library schedule every 6 hours, meta import every 6 hours, intro import every 6 hours.) Since the library folder needs to be writable for generated thumbnails to display in libraries, I then mounted it separately. Embyconfig: Metafolder: /config/metadata Intro Backup /config/metadata/intros /docker-data/emby/server2/config:/config:rw /docker-data/emby/server2/library:/config/metadata/library:rw /docker-data/emby/metadata:/config/metadata:ro /mnt/media:/media:rw

I know this is old, but this is something I find frustrating too. On rare occasions my power will go out and my RAID server doesn't stay online but my Server (PC) does due to my UPS system. Emby detects I lost all my media and deletes everything. When my RAID box comes back online, EMBY detects new media and re-adds everything like the first time. Not only does this use a ton of CPU/Power to re-index everything, it takes a very long time and then my Recently Added is FUBAR'd. Please add the ability to not delete trash automatically like Plex does to prevent this behavior

To further what @jaycedksaid above, you are on borrowed time using a switch for a storage device, STOP! I’ll assume the shield is always on, right? Then just directly attach the USB drive to the shield and share it on your LAN so the PC can access it from directly from the shield share as described here: how-do-i-share-shield-tv-folders-with-a-pc . Then install both the emby server and client on the shield. You can then also use emby via a client on the PC (web browser, emby-theater...) and other devices on your LAN.

How do I install this in Kodi 21? I've used previous versions before, but I cannot install this version after updating to Kodi 21. I see from the first post, there are 3 helper dependencies, but when I try to install them from kodi.emby.tv, it errors saying dependency Python 2.19 was not met. I cannot install the main plugin because of a dependency issue, which I'm assuming are the 3 missing ones from the Dependencies folder. plugin.video.emby.movies-0.14.zip plugin.video.emby.musicvideos-0.14.zip plugin.video.emby.tvshows-0.14.zip Kodi 21 on Nvidia Shield (Android TV 11.0.0 API level 30) Edit: Nevermind, I just overlooked the "dependencies" aren't in the dependency folder, they are in the main folder. Trying now. Edit 2: Yeah, I was looking in the wrong place for the 2 other parts. Those I listed are something else entirely. I should have waited about 10 more minutes before posting and I would have resolved my issue before posting.

The mobile phone client can display normally, and the apple TV terminal does not display the cover.

Is said market sufficient to financially support Emby development? There is more to it than mere existence.

a world exists outside the USA

When will this ROKU issue be resolved? It's been ongoing for 2 years or more now. With this issue EMBY has lost. almos all of its functionality for me and my colleagues. PLEX has not presented this problem. I'd rather stick with EMBY, but we are at a breaking point with this issue.

I would like to add a comment regarding Emby funding their development going forward. There has been mention of the recurring costs of the live TV guide, and breaking this out as a separate subscription instead of included with a lifetime payment. This sounds reasonable, as it is a recurring cost to Emby and is truly a "service" requiring continuing data. However, and this is a big one, live TV is on the verge of being broken for Emby by virtue of ATSC 3.0 DRM. ATSC 1.0 is only required to be transmitted for another 4 years. At first glance, it appears it could be impossible for Emby, as a software-only device, to meet the DRM requirement of playing back on the same hardware that made the recording. Possibly this could be solved by close coordination with SiliconDust, but why would they partner with Emby instead of selling you their own DVR software with guide subscription? While I really enjoy the integration Emby has offered thus far, both movie libraries as well as live and recorded TV, it appears this is coming to an end. As such, who will want the partial solution of non-DRM'd TV that Emby might be able to offer? I can't see a TV guide data subscription working as a reasonable revenue stream for Emby going forward. Although I do think their efforts need to be supported financially, this would appear to be a dead end.
