@Lukeany feedback on this as it has basically made watching emby on TV impossible unless use Kodi which I'm not a fan of as this seems to be happening on all android TV devices regardless of whether I use the android TV app or the standard Android App. Could it be something caused by an update to the android TV OS?

Was this a realtime sync, means Kodi was online all the time?

HI @Luke , I have done it, as you can see from media info appear now the rotation field, unfortunately different from the picsture posted by sa200 I have -90 and not 90

Hello me and my friends have problem with emby APP We tried restarting the iPhone and also deleting and reinstalling the app Data info: IOS 17.4.1 Iphone 14 pro max Emby app iOS 2.2.17 RPReplay_Final1714644420.mov

Oui effectivement il y a un vrai processeur mais un Celeron tu ne feras pas de transcodage avec

Just posting back after my tests. Seems I was using the m3u from tvh, and this was pixelated in emby and in VLC - so not an emby issue. I then tried the tvheadend plugin and I had issues with the setup. I then went back with native emby to HDHomerun - and that is working. A while back a beta broke that and hence I moved to back m3u - but i guess that was fixed again for native emby sometime since. So for me - the issue is the m3u provided by TVHeadend that was the issue here.

I tried to use Emby for ATV 2.1.10g, but the projector and the tablet still have the same playback error. By the way, I also have an Android emby client that can play normally: Xiaomi phone, Android 14, Snapdragon 870, which supports all formats like redmi TV.

@ebr I've had a chance to look at my daughters Chromecast with TV and her TV reports single refresh and resolution rates like the shield and hers doesn’t change refresh rates either and again Netflix has no issues doing it. It looks like emby tries to change as does mine and fails but emby reports that it’s changed. Play a fast moving tv show or movie and motion judder occurs continuously and noticeably. Go in manually and switch while playing and emby changes it to the correct refresh rate. Emby is still not changing refresh rates even when one res/refresh rate is shown.

Hello, I am an Emby user from China. I deployed the Emby Server 4.9.0.15 beta version on Synology NAS (I also tried the 4.8.5.0 stable version), mainly using the client (version 3.3.79) including the following devices: - Redmi TV, Android 11, MediaTek MTK9650 - JMGO Projector, Android 11, MediaTek MT9671 - Regular tablet, Android 7.1.2, Rockchip RK3399 I am sure that the hardware performance of these devices can fully play 4k hevc 60fps or even 4k av1 hdr 60fps encoded video. I can play it normally using the system default player, Cx File Explorer, and VLC player. So I directly disabled the transcoding function on the server, that is, [Server - Users - Playback] unchecked [Allow video transcoding, if necessary, during me Dia playback], but when I use the Emby client, except that Redmi TV can play 4k hevc video, my projector and tablet will trigger client transcoding. In addition, when playing 4k av1 hdr and 4k vp9 videos (if supported by the hardware itself), Emby is also normal.Only the most common movie encoding format 4k hevc will make an error, which makes me very confused. I have tried the latest 3.3.79 and previous versions, but the results were the same. I guess maybe Emby's underlying player ExoPlayer doesn't call the system decoder library correctly? Can you check and fix this bug as soon as possible? After all, the system's default player, CX File Explorer, and VLC are all working fine on the same device, but they can't use emby's beautiful interface and synchronize the playback progress.

Hi, yes it does make sense, having ways to check for new images without updating metadata.

Hi, if you have pre-existing nfo files created by other software, then it's possible that they contain specific sort title values. When this is the case, Emby will read and use those instead of generating one.

Hi, what device are you playing on?

HI, we'll take a look at it, but for now, simply shut down the server, and then you can install the latest version from our website on top of your existing version.

Doing some simultaneous testing. Scenarios are.. -add new Movie that is also part of an existing Collection -allow regular Subtitle Download task to run (trigger is default=24 hours) -1. Windows, Kodi 21.0, E4KNG 10.0.18 -Movies are added as expected, ~seconds after the Emby server has added them. -Sets do not seem to be updated automatically. Refresh Boxsets option fixes this. (I don't care, much - this is fine) -Subtitle Download task does not seem to cause a need to Sync at all (good?). -2. Android (NVIDIA Shield), Kodi 20.5, E4KNG 9.4.21 -Movies are added as expected, ~seconds after the Emby server has added them. -ALL Sets are refreshed with every singular Movie update, per the log. -Subtitle Download task on server causes a need to Sync on this client - usually around 400-500 movies or roughly 1/3 of the complete library. So - much improved with version 10.0.18 of the add-on. Will need to get moving on an upgrade across the house.

OK we have a new windows app coming very soon, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime you might get a better experience with our downloaded windows desktop app: https://emby.media/emby-theater.html

Hi there, can we please look at a specific example: How to Report a Problem Thanks !

The same thing is happening to me as well. 1.1TB media downloaded to my Android Emby app. On day 3 of this trip, the app took a looong time to open and when it finished opening, the tablet externak storage had 1.1TB new free space. Everything gone from server Downloads list and also deleted from Android tablet. It seems anytime server loses sight of the files on the NAS, they are all deleted from download list on server, then deleted from Android app next time it launches. This is not desireable server behavior at all. Can admin create a setting on app to short circuit the deletion of all downloads if server library is missing said downloads?? The utility of the app is greatly reduced if we lose all downloads from time to time.

"Restricted" tag is a hold over from when all the kids were younger and is no longer used but I left it on the list in case I missed something when updating to the tiered system. All of the movies that are restricted from general users (younger kids) are tagged with L1 and L2. (L3 was included for future use but has never been added to any movie title's metadata.) The movies that are restricted from the adult kids are tagged with L2 only. The younger kids' accounts parental controls are blocking tags L1 and L2 (and the never used L3 and the previously but no longer used "Restricted"). The adult kids' accounts parental controls are blocking only L2 (and L3 and Restricted as noted above).

I am adding / removing from the metadata for any given movie title. The other place is in the user's parental controls tab. I am not aware of anywhere else the tags can be put / used. Is there something else I'm missing out on?

yeah, eomby is pretty good looking, but has got some things that makes it unusable on some hardware - login method is too difficult for younger or older users - missing ABC sidebar in Emby for (Apple) TV app - not loading every content every time on apple tv - movie version handle is look really better than Plex, but difficult to choose between the versions, if the user know about it (and if I setting up the versions not grouped together, its harder, because nothing tag/mark/anything show me which is which -on Apple TV, the subtitles are too small, and can't change the size but on the other hand - emby can handle automatically the content sharing if you have only 1-1 library - can play dovi mp4 on apple tv - cloudless (but Plex can be too if I switched of the remote play and can be self hosted too like emby)

I found at least one issue, I try to fix it.

Have stopped using this plugin now

It seems like we have at least 2 points of data showing a truncation of the moviedb id values for robin hood and save the last dance. Was just poking around and noticed another example of this incorrect/truncated id causing a metadata issue. I found "save the last dance" had a similar issue where it drops the last 2 digits of the moviedb id for metadata. this caused a mix up with the poster/image for gladiator but other metadata for save the last dance. The other id values are right. the middle moviedb value should be 9816 and not just 98. Even renaming the file like this and refreshing files did not change anything: "Save the Last Dance (2001) [tmdbid-9816].mp4" I see why the incorrect moviedb 98 value is bringing back the artwork for the movie record in general - as this is the highest priority image pull per my library settings (i think these were defaults). other metadata looks correct (actors, etc.) due to tvdb being the highest priority for actual metadata: So that at least explains why i can have most of the metadata right but have the wrong art. I wonder if i should just drop themoviedb altogether for art and metadata?

Made a post here that was supposed to be on another forum thread - whoops!

Emby server windows version 4.8.5.0 If I schedule to record programs A and B, consecutively on the same channel, then two recordings are created. The first recording is called A and contains program A. The second recording is called B and contains program A followed by program B. To watch program B I have to skip through all of program A. There is no problem if the consecutive recordings are on different channels. This behaviour started occurring a few months ago.
