Just wanted to ping this. It would be very helpful.

I'm going to do further testing, as I have now run it 3 times - twice completed successfully, the other crashed

All the trailer videos have correct new names without dashes parenthetical or tildes. I tried renaming all 'Trailers' subfolders to T0 with a batch file, rescanning the library, turning Cinema Intros off and on, restarting Emby, then switching the subfolders names back from T0 to Trailers again... Same problem, the original names are still truncated and stuck. They must have been written to the dbase. I don't see a plugin cache. Maybe, if I switch them again, the trailers show up as new media content. Then group delete them, rescan and restart. That might clear the dbase. Then I would have to grab from a back up and put the trailers all in again. I could write some batch files... Hmmm, maybe I will wait for possible fix... Ha!

I have just reinstalled Windows and got everything running. For the past 16h, emby is still scanning the library but the progress is extremely slow, I'm at 16% now. None of the resources are taxed out, with the CPU hovering at less than 2% and the hdds the same. my pc is an AMD 9800X3D, 64GB RAM, Win11, and Emby is installed on a Samsung Evo 990 and running latest stable emby version, 4.8.xxxx Is there anything I can do to speed this up?

Good point. Will look at it in the next version.

Any clues?

My PC, where I'm testing, is indeed connected to the soundbar with HDMI. Nevertheless, I think this topic can be closed since I migrated to Jellyfin.

No change. The initial truncated titles still remain. CSS styles don't have extra js. The creation of the title name, that is split up by - ( or ~, has to be from inside the plugin and once it is created, the plugin never seems to update the title again. It's in cache, perhaps added to a dbase entry for that media. I would guess it needs a rescan function. The plugin is pulling the code that truncates the audio and video pull down selector... Everything before a dash is removed. But Cinema trailers don't need this and there should be a rescan option button. It's minor and back-burner issue. Thanks.

Perfetto...si era proprio Opera che nell'ultimo aggiornamento aveva impostato automaticamente come lingua principale inglese, è bastato impostare come prima lingua l'italiano, salvare il settaggio ed è tutto tornato normale. Grazie mille per il prezioso e veloce suggerimento.

Is your server connected to the TV or soundbar with HDMI cable? Perhaps VLC is sending the media via HDMI, which may allow the surround sound to playback correctly. Emby only uses HDMI cable if you have a hardware encoder like Nvidia Shield. And again, apparently DTS:HD doesn't work currently with Nvidia and DTS-X only works when the AV Amp or Sound bar supports this and gets the incoming media via HDMI cable. If you have an HDMI cable connection, try disconnecting it and see what VLC does then.

É opera. Quando usi emby via web, nel browser compare la lingua che viene richiesta dal browser. Prova a verificare nelle impostazioni di opera, magari qualche aggiornamento ha impostato la visualizzazione delle pagine in inglese; alternativa é provare a cancellare i cookie, magari si son incasinati quelli. Comunque sai dove guardare, non é il server

@yockerAre the 97x76 dimensions fixed for the icons? If yes, is it possible in a future update to increase the width of the used icons dynamically? For example my IMAX logo just fits into the 97x76 template if I make it a lot smaller than e.g. the Dolby Vision icon. It would be really cool if just the height of 76 would be fixed and the width would be dynamic so I could use a 130x76 logo e.g. Currently it seems that a logo larger than the 97x76 value gets squeezed into that dimension and gets a bit distorted. e.g. 140x76 icon:

Salve, da qualche giorno, la versione di Emby sul Browser Opera (ver. 120.0.5543.38) sistema operativo Windows 11 Pro, rimane sempre impostata in lingua inglese, anche se risulta impostata su Italiano, ed anche se riavvio il server Emby. Tutte le versioni di Emby installate altrove (smartphone, altri PC, Firestick etc.). invece rimangono sempre perfettamente in italiano. Ho Emby Premier a vita, la versione attuale installata è la 4.8.11.0 Qualcuno sa indicarmi il motivo? Grazie mille. P.S. faccio presente che fino alla scorsa settimana risultava correttamente tutto in italiano e che ovviamente il mio sistema operativo è in lingua italiana.

Salve, mi scuso se non ho dato seguito al mio post, ma non mi è stato possibile rispondere fin'ora. Il problema evidenziato è sparito da solo, e non so come, per cui ritengo chiusa la segnalazione. Ringraziando ovviamente per la disponibilità nel rispondermi. ENGLISH: Hi, I apologize if I have not followed my post, but it was not possible for me to answer so far. The problem highlighted has disappeared alone, and I don't know how, so I consider the report closed. Obviously thanking for the availability in answering me.

Hola, Tengo un servidor emby remoto, pero también emby en local para pruebas, el problema es que al abrir la app de emby siempre se conectar al servidor local y no al servidor remoto. De esta forma emby te está obligando a usar el servidor local y no el que el usuario quiere usar, en este caso el remoto. Tengo que parar el servicio de emby para que la app se conecte al servidor remoto. ¿Cómo puedo ocultar el servidor emby local para que la app de emby no lo detecte? Gracias.

Hello mohsen1254, ** This is an auto reply ** Please wait for someone from staff support or our members to reply to you. It's recommended to provide more info, as it explain in this thread: Thank you. Emby Team

Hi i cant connect to emby server with my phone using wifi. but i can connect to server on another computer with Lan it's just the wireless connection .it works on Lan i tried everything Port Forwarding and DHCP Reservations i'm using ESET as antivirus. i added the rules in its firewall to in android client i get the error "unable to reach the server" if anyone knows how to fix this i appreciate the help

Working now! Man this is super dope!

hi, I seem to have found the error, for whatever reason I needed a new PIN. Now it works again. Thanks anyway

Technically, it's not a player; it's a backend server written in Node.js with a React front-end server running on nginx, so its name was simply EMU, as in Emby music. The player part was an afterthought, and while the system is just called EMU I added the player part as it resonates better with people as it kinda describes its function, well, the front end anyway.. I hear you, though. EMP sounds pretty cool as well. The name may change, it's not set in stone. just in thousands of lines of code :-(

This looks great and I can't wait to try it out, but... why is it called EMU and not EMP? Emby Music Player

I am currently experimenting with pre-rebooting the TV and it seems that there is a dependency - after rebooting, in most cases, I can watch any movie in any quality. I assume there are problems with the Garbage Collector or something similar, but I am not sure.

Thank you for your interest. It's going to take a little while, but I'm making progress.
