If at all possible avoid using TS container on the Roku. Because a direct played TS stream is seen as a live stream. It will not allow fast-forward or scrubbing. Because of this Emby will transcode the container to an m3u8 to the Roku. Instead you can manually remux the TS stream into an MKV and you have a much better chance for Direct Play. The DVDSUB/PGSSUB image based subtitles will force a transcode of the video stream on the Roku. Because these are image based and the Roku does not support it these will cause video transcoding. The Roku behaves best with the MKV container. If you need subtitles obtain text-based SRT using the available Emby plugins. These will be placed alongside your media and fetched with a scheduled task. Then you are sure that you are able to play your media in the best way possible on your Roku.

I tested with the desktop app but that acted a bit erratic. Played but would not pass through any atmos sound no matter the settings. Also lagged on audio output for up to 20 seconds when starting media. I decided to do a deep clean of the HEVC extensions and the Dolby Access off the system. Rebooted and slowly tested each setting one by one with specific media to gauge root cause while using different versions and moving up to the current releases. I have it working as it should now with the latest HEVC installed from MS Stoire and the Dolby Access setup to passthrough Atmos. No studders or restarts when moving forward or back. Using theater app from the MS Store not the desktop download. This works better for the way my theater macros work to call the app, lights, sound, etc. For now everything is back to the way it was before the issue started. Not sure if somehow the installed extensions and access just got screwed up with an update and the deep clean allowed a reset but that is what it seems. Will update if I find any more information that could potentially help others in the future.

Don't have that version but current versions that option can not be disabled. Only /data/playlist is check/uncheckable. 4.8.7.0/4.9.0.20 But can only guess something broke during the migrations to 4.8. But I replicated the issue via dev console as the field is Disabled by default to prevent changes. So you would have to delete the disabled apply your setting and save and refresh page to automatically reapply Disabled. As it is not suppose to be configurable as it is required per user.

Hi, firstly thanks for this helpful guide. I managed to get SSL to work and have been using it over the last year. The time has come to renew the certificate and I did so thru the no-ip dashboard using my existing hostname & CSR. My old certificate is still active, expires in a few days. I have downloaded the new certificate pem chain from no-ip. Unsure of what is required now. Do I now have to combine the private key created prior with the new certificate pem I have downloaded to create a new pfx to use with emby? Similar to what was detailed with openssl before? What about the current one? Do I need to revoke that? Does it override the old one? Just not sure what the process is to renew the ssl certificate. Appreciate help in clarifying how this process should go.

how about that idea? looks great!! the post was closed linking to that here... let's not forget 3d sound / atmos launch was 2014 - so 10 years now.... we all love emby but some progress with media info is a bit overdue imho.. fyi, @CAPRICORNX10X

Hi, I can't enable user playlists under Users > User > Access > Playlists The option appears greyed out with all users.

What about using eARC? Not that I'll go that elaborate outside but if I like it I may put one inside too.

Updated and tried different browsers. Chrome, firefox, and safari all have it.

Hi there, let's look at a specific example of something that didn't record that you think should have: How to Report a Problem Thanks !

I've had the TV functionality setup and working fine for a while, but I was asked if I could DVR the game show Wheel of Fortune for someone. No problem...I find it in the guide, and I tell it to record the series, and tell it to keep up to 10 episodes. Nice and straightforward, seems simple enough just like every DVR thing of the past 20 years. It should have picked up the first one today, just a little bit ago...there's nothing. I go look to see what happened, and found if I check the schedule tab(which I assume is the schedule of recordings), that it has queued up recordings for Monday and Tuesday of next week. That's all. This is a 5 day a week show, but I thought maybe I just started in an off week with re-runs. Go check- no, the guide indicates today was a new show. As are the rest of them this week, which aren't listed in the schedule either. Thinking maybe something is off or I did it wrong, I cancel the recording and re-configure the series recording. Same result, Monday and Tuesday of next week, nothing of this week. So...I don't know what's going on, or if I've got something off. If I individually queue the broadcasts of this week, they show up in the schedule- I don't know why my series record I just added isn't queuing them. I didn't see a "starting" date for that, and I also would have though it would tag the rest of next week, but if I go with the idea it only schedules 7 days in advance, that would explain only going through Tuesday of next week, but not why nothing is scheduled for this week, despite otherwise appearing to meet the criteria. So, any ideas? I guess in the mean time I'll just manually queue this week up. I suppose for now, the main thing I'm looking to find out if that's just a behavior where it doesn't process the current week or something like that. Thanks!

@LukeThanks for the quick response and for looking into this issue! We all appreciate your efforts and are looking forward to the fix.

OK we are looking into it. Thanks.

If you can help with this then hopefully we'll have a fix soon: Thanks.

OK we've got this resolved. The fix will be in the next beta server, and potentially backported to a 4.8.X maintenance release. Thanks.

Same comment also for DTS

Cool thanks Luke. I was going crazy looking for this option again and again scrolling up and down lol

My only comment would be around the ATMOS support. That depends on whether you are referring to lossless/TrueHD or lossy/EAC3/DD+. As far as I’m aware, lossless TrueHD is not yet supported by the TV, so we can’t overcome it, but if it does become supported then it is something that we should also be able to support. The simple answer is if the file will play correctly via a USB drive connected directly to the TV and using the TVs internal media player, then the Emby app should DirectPlay it in the same way.

Couldn't type fast enough. Was going to link that topic and suggest an alternate client.

Hi, what software is broadcasting the stream? Is rtsp the only option?

I know the subtitle plugin does a lot of thing automatically. I like to find subs directly: Here are some links: https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/subs http://www.moviesubtitles.net/search.php https://www.subs4free.info/ https://english-subtitles.org/ https://www.addic7ed.com/ Tools and software to tweak subtitles back into sync: https://subtitletools.com/subtitle-sync-shifter Moves the timing of all subs. Very handy. Online retiming: https://nikse.dk/subtitleedit/online Full software package to tune each subtitle and match by audio and waveform. https://aegisub.org/ Retiming a subtitle to fit exactly seems to take around 3 hours for every hour of content or more. Hope that helps.

Ah it looks like a known issue - I will use my android app to update these settings for now. Thanks.

HI, there is a defect in 4.8.7 causing this setting to not be visible. We will be releasing a 4.8.8 maintenance update in the next day or two to resolve it. A workaround in the meantime is to configure the setting using an Emby app such as Emby for Windows or android.

Hello, Thank you for the reply. I reviewed the file and can see all the meta data. I can also confirm that I have enabled "Group items into collections". But the problem is, when I go to library setting, I don't see this option "Import collection information form metadata downloaders".. can you point me in the right direction? I believe when you mention <set> metadata you mean name, description, movie db id etc?

Hi, the beta server has been updated to auto-sort tags alphabetically whenever you save them. This way if they're always sorted alphabetically, you don't need drag handles. We'll look into if we can backport this change to 4.8 stable. Thanks.

The first time you press skip works osd appears it doesn’t work anymore you wait for the osd to disappear press skip works osd appear it doesn’t work and so on. OSD for some reason blocks skip buttons
