I'm a brand new user of Emby, and signed up for an account. I was notified that I would get an email to confirm my account registration, but it's been 3 days, and nothing (yes, I checked my spam folder). I can't seem to get in touch with anyone on the Emby site either. I seem to be able to sign into my account, but I've not been able to confirm it; will this be an issue in the future?

@Lukewould it be possible for Emby to natively support the correct timezone? The fix is referring to FireFox. I use safari.

Good evening. @brothom @LukeAs I feared, it did not succeed. Even tried moving it to the normal generic "movies" folder on the off chance that would make a difference, and it gives the same result as below. I really don't know what to say at this point. It simply doesn't seem to care about the folder or mkv name at all. Unfortunately, I can't reasonably guess what has caused this as I said, I have hardly touched the settings. It doesn't matter how many times IU rescan the library- The result is always the same. I open to any further suggestions of where I should look next...

Me too Im using the server i used all the time Play.embyil.tv And suddenly it says name and password are wrong

With a movie or series, Try /items/id/similar From there the usual params that you're used to.

OK we'll take a look at it. Thanks !

I have mbedtls3 installed as per the dependency provided on your Emby Server for FreeBSD installation guide, but obviously the beta and stable channels are depending on mbedtls2 so I'm stuck on 4.9.0.30 from my last upgrade in 2024. That's my story, but anyone with a fresh FreeBSD 13 install would not be able to install Emby Server because the mbedtls2 port has been removed as of 06/02.

I did find this that might allow you to remove the port assignment manually: Does that help?

@eric.faes@gmail.comso with Docker all we do is list the ports that are needed and Docker takes care of the rest. It is responsible for deleting the port registrations, and it looks like people have this same issue on Synology with other software (not Emby). https://www.synoforum.com/threads/docker-local-port-conflicts-with-other-ports-used-by-other-services.10086/ Actually if you just google search there's a lot of hits about this.

@supermood?

Hi, is this repeatable?

@sundevil67what do you suggest?

OK please try the 1.0.29 update to the Sonos plugin and let's see if that resolves it for you. Thanks.

Hi there @Rammiii2908can you please show us the file and folder structure so that we can see how your files are named and organized? Thanks.

OK but you're saying that at the moment it works well? It got an update last month. What makes you think it won't have future support?

In older versions, CD1 and CD2 sometimes wouldn't stack automatically... The new version has fixed this issue, but the current problem is that the stacking order is still incorrect.

None of the 3 versions of the movie have the tag that I am filtering by in the parental controls, and it's not even consistent which file is left out from the dropdown. The files in question are named like so: /Movies/Godzilla Minus One (2023)/Godzilla Minus One (2023) [Bluray-1080p].mkv /Movies4K/Godzilla Minus One (2023)/Godzilla Minus One (2023) [Bluray-2160p].mkv /MoviesAlt/Godzilla Minus One (2023)/Godzilla Minus One (2023) (Minus Color) [Bluray-1080p].mkv I'm filtering based on the tag "exclusive" which is not applied to any of these 3 different versions (in fact, each of the different versions do not have any tags at all), and sometimes after splitting/rescanning the library/regrouping, only the 2 1080p versions are selectable, and sometimes one of the 1080p versions and the 4K version are selectable. If I get rid of the parental control filter on my account, all 3 versions are selectable and as soon as I add the filter back in the parental controls one of the versions disappears from the dropdown.

We want high-quality plugins that are working well everywhere. From the past, we have learned that this doesn't work out when letting plugin developers do their own UI. To some extent is has also been our own fault as the core html/css has been constantly changing and made it hard to keep up. We also want that plugins are durable and keep working, even when the plugin developer is no longer available. That has always been a big problem. We had to "adopt" some of those plugins in order to keep them working for all Emby users. Also, many of the server plugins with html config do not work on TVs or mobile devices (when going to the server configuration in those clients) because they aren't made to display properly there. In turn, we are maintaining a white-list of plugins which are working in those clients. So you can see that's all far from ideal. PluginUI is meant to remedy those problems. When there is a plugin done with PluginUI, then It is more likely that it gets admitted to the plugin catalog => because we know that the UI will still work in some years, even when the developer doesn't care about it anymore it is easy for us to white-list it for being shown on all clients, because with PluginUI, it is more or less granted that it will be fine - and in case when not, then it is on us to fix the PluginUI rendering on the device, not on the plugin developer We know it will also work in TV mode - it's a future goal to make the admin UI smoothely accessible via remote control - this doesn't work with most html/js plugins That's the concept of the PluginUI. You can still use html/js pages, but it's not the direction we're aiming at.

So keep in mind that they are still three separate library items, but just grouped together. That means when you apply tag parental controls, all three of them individually need to match the criteria.

Hi, given enough demand, certainly.

We already have that with the web based UI, however, it isn't built with this new SDK for plugins.

Sorry for having to perform some thread necromancy, but I just started running into this issue as well running 4.8.11.0. I am also using tags to hide some items from my personal view, and it's still causing movies grouped with more than 2 items to only display 2 items in the dropdown. I have a movie with 3 different versions all in different folders but in the same Movies library. I can correctly select and group all 3 versions into a single library item, but as long as I have any tags being filtered for using the parental controls on my account, only 2 items are displayed in the dropdown. If I remove the parental control filter, all 3 are displayed.

Then why not allow people to extend the controls and then you don’t need to worry about it, if it doesn’t render on xx device oh well. Even button functionality per device will be different and implemented differently. Or you do like plex and rewrite most applications to one language ex react

Good evening @Luke In short: …no. In full: I have yet to try the most recent post by @brothom I will update once I have, likely in a few hours. Thus far, none of the suggestions have bared fruit unfortunately. I’ve given each one a respectful try I think. Honestly, I’m rather baffled how something so relatively simple can prove to be so difficult to crack. Like pwhodge’s said— I really don’t know what I missing at this point. I haven’t really played much with the setting so the system should be and borderline default settings. Why my emby server hates these 3 movies in particular remains unclear. If brothom’s naming suggestion fails, which I honestly expect it will, then I am going to be out of ideas, sadly. Already tried putting these 3 movies into their own library, etc, and I don’t think unmounting and remounting in Linux is going to do anything either. =[
