The new version is up. Added: Ability to show audio and video codec overlays. Overlays for tags. Read the readme in the settings for how to use these. Changed: Changed the overlay sizing slightly so they scale based on height only. Download at EmbyIcons Github or here. EmbyIcons.zip

Ok, the quest to sync *arr tags to Emby continues. It looks like to update tags, I will be using the ItemUpdateService, so far so good. Within the schema, I see: Tags [string] If I pull an item with a tag as an example, it looks like: TagItems : {@{Name=SyncTagTest; Id=1349589}} I'm assuming these are referring to the same thing, TagItems is clearly what I want to edit, so partly verifying Tags is the correct field to update via the ItemUpdateService? I've also got questions on the format I need to submit in: Are the tags submitted by the ID? If this is the case it probably negates needing to answer most of the other questions besides how to submit multiple tags if I were to add SyncTagTest to another movie, that would I set the string to in Tags? Is Emby going to match the existing tag? How do I submit multiple tags? Is it a comma separated list? Do I need the Tag ID as well? If I do need the Tag ID (I'm assuing Id=1349589 in my example is the ID of the tag itself) does that mean the tag has to be created first, separately before I can assign it? If they are dynamically created, to I have to be careful with case-sensitivity? (I will be anyway, but just in case, I would like to know what happens if I mess case up somewhere) I think that's all I've got for now. I'm just realzing I might have to actually write a whole bit to get the existing tags first if it's all done by ID. Thanks!

Hi, are these two servers clones of each other?

Hi, why not just setup systemd? Or what about using our Docker, Snap or Flatpak packages?

Hi, we'll do some comparisons and try to reproduce. Thanks.

HI, typical causes of these timeouts are firewall, security software or VPN. Can you look into those and let us know what you find? Thanks.

Hi, we're looking into it. Thanks.

Hi there @mohsen1254please attach the complete emby server log file. Thanks.

HI, in the 4.8 server there are some cases where your configured credentials do not get applied. This has been resolved in the upcoming 4.9 server release. Thanks.

Yes, now the aspect ratio is correct! Well done!

Had the same issue of Microstutter/Judder for months on the new android app using both Shield and Google TV Streamer. No stutter on the old Android TV App, so seems isolated to the new app only. Few people complaining of the same on Reddit also Can confirm only an issue for 4K HDR/DV content. 1080p content has no stutter

That's unfortunate. Jellyfin it is then...

Hi, we are looking into this. Thanks.

Hi, an option for this hasn't been added yet, but it's possible for future updates. 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.

That damn f.ing version number.. I did all that work on the wrong version again.. Deleted that now! Some quick copy and paste of the icon size stuff and it should work now. EmbyIcons.dll

I'm a dumbfuck, I forgot to restart Emby Server after downloading your next-to-last dll. Nevertheless with both last dlls tag icons are not inserted into the image. Do you need a log? But the icons I see now are not distorted anymore and have the exact aspect ratio as the source pngs. So it seems you're on a good way. Now: Before:

Try this. Not sure i like the outcome though. Might just be my icons. EmbyIcons.dll

Have you reported that in order to troubleshoot the issue? How to Report a Problem

Thanks for the reply, @Luke Could you please direct me to some documentation on how to accomplish this in the Android TV/Google TV app?

The NFO does not actually reference the file directly, it's more that it gets associated to the video file based on the name. So if you replace the webm with an equivalently named mp4 it will just update the NFO.

As a second follow-up, this also happens when switching apps, for example if someone accidentally hits the Netflix button on the TV remote or if you want to quickly check something on YouTube … I’ve had to find my spot in Lord of the Rings while watching with my kids three times in the past hour because of the way the interface works, something I never had with Plex. I’d love to know how to permanently disable this dialog box and how to mark where the file was watched until so that I don’t keep hitting this issue every single time we watch something. Please. Thank you.

It seems there is no significant change to the produced coverart image. Seems the image is still streched vertically. original Aspect ratio (image size 186x76px): aspect ratio in cover:

As a follow-up, is this something we can disable now? If so, how? If not, why not? I’m coming from Plex and this (along with other “little” things around the Interface Design) is driving me absolutely nuts on my Android TV. I’m using the Android app, and every time I press “back” on my TV remote this stupid popup comes up, which is especially annoying when I’ve clicked on a file accidentally or if I press “back” while trying to hide the file scrubbing overlay. If I press “No”, it ends up not marking the file as played, thankfully, but I shouldn’t need to be asked every time I partially play a file … never mind that pressing “No” doesn’t preserve where I was in the show/movie file at all, either, which makes it even more infuriating. I’m trying to understand how to set this up so it just plays and stops a file without additional steps/input, and then be able to continue from where I was. This especially feels unnecessarily obtuse compared to Plex and I’d love to be able to just turn this nonsense off. (Edit: For clarity, I’m using VLC because for whatever reason the built-in player didn’t work at all on my Sony TV; using the built-in player, then, isn’t even an option for me.)

Did I report this issue correctly or should I put this in a different section?
