Here ya go, thank you for the quick response embyserver.txt

Hi, yes we're looking into it. Thanks.

I've been using MDBLists to create collections and have had to limit them to under 300 items as I had not had time to break them into sets. But I may look at sending them in the body

Hi, yes this is something we can look at supporting in future updates. Thanks for the feedback.

So that's interesting, from that thread you linked @Happy2Play. I think I read that one before but missed this comment by luke - You can also put those values in the body though. You don't have to put them all in the url.

Hi there, please attach the corresponding emby server log. thanks.

Thanks, Happy2Play. I have implemented a workaround that breaks the params into batches. More API calls, but it doesn't seem to rate limit. Largest set of batches I have come across is 64 in my tests so far.

Consistently when I am watching a certain show the first time I try to play it it says there are no compatible streams available, then if I try again it runs fine. I am curious on how to fix this. Also the show is an anime so there are subtitles on it if that is relevant. I have also attached logs. If there is any other information needed let me know. ffmpeg-transcode-dcbeea36-a5a1-4d7c-a566-4846041dc001_1.txt

Pretty sure the same discussion from years ago with playlists

Assuming that is true (and I have no reason to believe it's not) that indicates that Emby is deliberately choosing to optimize on a factor which a vast percentage of users will find that they're not meeting and has no fallback plan. It's not like it uses the metadata and, if it's not there, looks to see if the information exists as structure. What it does is that it looks at the metadata, and if that's not there it throws its hands up in the air and says "nothing I can do!" no matter how good the structure is.

Ah sorry, I miss read your first post. I was thinking of the size of the query, not the size of the items for a collection. I am getting 414 status codes on some collections that have a lot of entries. I will need to split up the POST requests. Thank you for flagging! @LukeDo you know the limit of items I can pass to a collection?

Well, just wait for the authorities. Then Jellyfin did just fine.

That might be a good idea but to me it seems excessively complex and very much unneeded. The only thing that i think needs to be added is some kind of tracker for both features and bugs. Users should only report and comment but being able to view where things are would, I think, serve to reduce that amount of noise in the forums. Of course Emby will never do that as they seem to really like to keep things hidden right up to release. I think that is a mistake but I also do not really want to have a more active role so anything done should not force or entice people into active roles.

Not really... .. because you have logged into that site before as an admin it is using 'cookies or other means' to verify your admin account. Just try it from elsewere...

Hi guys, Sadly my older Sony TV died (RIP), and I've recently got a new Samsung TV. I've got the Emby app installed, and all is good. The ONLY thing I've noticed is that the Emby app on the Samsung TV doesn't seem to have a press and hold method to show the context popup. I'm confident my Sony TV used to have this. I mainly noticed this as Samsung supply 2 remotes. One full sized, and the other as a 'One Remote'. Normally to access context menus throughout the GUI (outside of Emby), you press and hold the OK button (center of the circle in the image below). I went to do this to mark a show as watched from the home menu, and when I pressed and held, it just opened the show. I tried on the larger remote and had the same result. I am still able to open the context menu, but I need to press the menu button, then the info button, instead of just pressing and holding the OK button. Samsung TV Model: QE50Q60CAUXXU Samsung 2023 50 Inch QLED 4K Smart TV Q60C | Samsung UK Emby App Version: 1.7.0 So I guess my question is, do you plan to implement a press and hold option to bring up the context menu? Here is the 'One Remote' I'm talking about, I've underline the button I'm talking about: When I press that button, I need to get to this menu, then hit the info button: Which then shows the context menu I'm talking about: While I know this isn't that bad in the grande scheme of things, it would be nice to have this menu appear when I press and hold the OK button Anyway, just thought I'd ask. Thanks guys!

I guess that's the part I don't quite understand. I don't see why that matters. You should be able to have a thousand subfolders and Emby shouldn't care. Is there a video file at this level? No? Then keep going down. Oh, there is a video file here. This must be a movie. And I see there are two files at this level that have basically the same name but there are multiple versions of it. And look, there is also an Extras folder at this level. These two video files are probably the same item and these extras belong to that. So you could have: \movies\1997\A-M\A\Alien 4\Alien Resurrection - Theatrical Release.mkv \movies\1997\A-M\A\Alien 4\Alien Resurrection - Special Edition.mkv \movies\1997\A-M\A\Alien 4\Extras \movies\1997\A-M\A\Alien 4\Extras\Deleted Scenes.mkv And Emby should be able to parse that. I'm being a bit hyperbolic there with the sorting, but my point still stands. Now if there is a video file in any of those upper sub-folders, then sure, they're doing something stupid. But Emby shouldn't care how many subfolders there are or what they're labeled. If they're in the movies folder and Emby knows these are movies, then as soon as it finds a video file where there is an Extras subfolder, it should show that. If Emby is using the video file name to identify what it is, then why does it matter what the last subfolder name is at all? Regardless of whether something is sorted 'correctly' or not, if Emby can find a new item, whether it knows what it is or not, it should then also see that there is an 'extras' subfolder and show those files. I'll admit at the end of the day though, now that I know how Emby expects it, this is a very minor gripe. And if the answer ends up being "not worth the time to fix" then that's fine. I'm just trying to understand the reasoning behind it.

I see in 4.8.6 is now has a scroll row called "folders" showing the folders, but I would really like it to be back in a grid view in 4.8.7 please. Thank you.

One is the Dashboard and the other is Settings ie two different pages. Eventhough both your urls actually go to settings do to display text. Just like when you go to tray icon and select Configure Server it goes to /Dashboard, correct?

Agree to disagree as this proves you are missing pertinent metadata/tags as are relying on structure.

@TMCsw. Yeah, I'll probably just leave the cog and uncheck the box. I did however, like the clean look. We only use the web interface anyway.

What's funny is, http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/dashboard/ doesn't seem to get me to the admin section. If I add "settings", then it works. http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/dashboard/settings I'll keep playing with it. My server is located in a very inconvenient place of the house where it is a pain to get at.

In Plex you can merge anything, and it becomes one item with as many parts as it had before. So for example, if you have one video in multiple parts and it is for some reason showing as multiple videos, you can merge it and it becomes one video with multiple parts and you'll see them in order. In Emby you can group videos, but they become different versions of the same video, so if it has part 1 and part 2 you group them, when you watch it you'll only see one of the two parts (which you select from the menu). Grouping is a good feature in that you might want to group different versions of the same thing - like if I have a 3D movie and the 2D version of it, I can group them and they show as one item in content and I select which version I want to see at time of playback - but you can't group everything, so even when I have 3 versions of the same book I can't group them. However, we digress. My problem was that Emby shows individual albums as multiple albums, and I wanted a way to put the album together. Apparently this is caused by the metadata, and correcting the metadata corrects the problem. This does not deal with my underlying issue, that my music collection was created mostly with iTunes, the most popular mp3 program, so if Emby can't deal with that, Emby is failing. Also while I can edit the metadata for a video, I can't edit much of the metadata for a song, and I have to use a third party program to "fix" the metadata for my music collection to make Emby deal with it, which from the perspective of a software engineer means that Emby is being inconsistent (I can do it with videos but I can't do it with audio) so that's another failure.

Seems when I get above 300+ish items in a collection, created using the api, it fails

You peps are over complicating this, this takes care of the gear cog allowing admin stuff or not: and besides CSS stuff only works on web browsers...

You will have to Refresh with replace images but please retest in 4.8.6.0. Extract video images at full resolution
