Don't know how many of you know what PseudoTV is on Kodi but basically it is a plugin that allows you to create an EPG full of your own custom TV channels using your entire media library into one big channel surfing experience on your library. Emby, I believe, would be amazing for this and really make it stand out if something like this was official supported as the only support for something like this is a little plugin on Kodi. Features: Create custom TV channels using smart filters (e.g. 500 random movies that are from 2010 and newer and genre is Horror, 25 random tv episodes that are from Fox network). Allow creation of an unlimited number of channels using these filters and assign them channel numbers Automatically generate an EPG/TV Guide using all of these custom channels and randomly assign the scheduled program at a specific time Allow sorting of the channel shows (random, in order, asc, desc) Allow channels like FX to play both TV shows from FX but also incorporate movies at specific time periods like primetime movies Allow trailers to play in between shows as well as Channel Bumpers/intro videos Allow integration with Live TV using PVR Allow YouTube channels, USTVNOW, Playon perhaps? Ability to add a logo to your custom channels Background updating that would auto generate / update all the channels and shows after a specific period of time And so on

I have noticed there is no way to configure the path used by Auto-boxset pliuging to create folders to hold created collections. Given this is, by default, under the Data folder within the install folder of Media Browser server, and the fact this is on my SDD drive, it would be great if this folder may be overriden to a custom path (the way other folders may be configured via the Control Panel).

Apologies if this has been brought up before. I did a search through Feature Requests and the Web Client forum first and couldn't find anything directly related. I think it would be worth while to have instant replay (go back ~7-10 seconds) and skip forward (~30 seconds) buttons on the webclient play bar. I often times find myself using them on Emby Classic (MBC) because I missed a line or two of dialogue, and using the timeline to rewind in the web client often moves the player back much further than I need. Hopefully this request is already on your radar and I wasted my time posting this :-) If not, it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

With the latest release the count of media (movies, series, episodes) is no longer shown. I would love to see this return.

In addition to (but not contingent on) a related feature request ( https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/43845-emby-server-emby-theater-support-nfo-files-and-automatic-metadata-lookup-for-extras/ ), I recommend Emby Theater display the full Title, Duration and any other Metadata below the currently selected Extra using something along the lines of the UX pattern called "Thumbnail grid expanding preview". See the following for examples: https://tympanus.net/codrops/2013/03/19/thumbnail-grid-with-expanding-preview/ https://tympanus.net/Tutorials/ThumbnailGridExpandingPreview/ http://www.oriongunning.com/thumbnail-grid-expanding-preview/ http://www.oriongunning.com/demo/gridder/ While the current layout is clean and concise, it is not terribly helpful (in my opinion) in knowing what one is considering watching. As far as I can tell the only ways to get more details are to either start playing the item, or Ctrl-D to view Edit Info (neither of which is ideal when you're just browsing). I think that the "Thumbnail grid expanding preview" UX pattern is a decent route to go and in keeping with the general aesthetic of ET. Additionally, once the underlying code is built for this way of displaying data, there are potentially other uses for this UX pattern. One I can think of at the moment (which can be spun off to it's own feature request at some later point) would be to have items in "More Like This" respond this way, so that you get a mini-detailed view of some of the item metadata and then the option to click through to that item's page to actually play the item if desired. This would enable one to more quickly ascertain (without fully going to the item page) if they want to further explore that "More Like This" item or not. Regardless of additional uses (such as for "More Like This" items), I think that some sort of improvement is definitely needed for displaying the details of Extras, and the "Thumbnail grid expanding preview" UX pattern seems like a decent option to me.

Please consider adding an option to the OpenSubtitles Settings page to get forced subtitles. They have recently added functionality in their API that identifies forced subtitles. See here: https://forum.opensubtitles.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15856

Some of us use the feature of putting shortcuts in media library folders for sharing media which is one way to share content without having a ton of libraries or folders for various purposes. It appears this is a deprecated feature that may go away or at least not considered an official feature that would be fixed if it fails to work (see http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/14072-help-request-how-to-share-music-between-multiple-users-on-same-server/&do=findComment&comment=153275). I like the new tagging but the only control is to block content with certain tags. I wonder if there could be a new feature added that would only allow content with certain tags either at the user level under parental controls or even better tied to the user library selection (e.g. user gets all of library 1 but only content with a certain tag from library 2).

This is for Emby Theater for Tizen and iOS. It seems all these recent updates are to “clean up” the OSD etc. Well, there is tons of room now that you have removed the poster from the video details screen, so can we please get the “Ends at” time back on details? Makes absolutely no sense that that it was removed in the first place. I realize it can be seen after the video is playing by pressing down to get to video info but the whole point is to see if you have time to watch the video BEFORE you start it! Seems pretty straightforward. thx!

Maybe there could be an option to show only unwatched media in the "Because you watched..." and "Because you liked..." sections of the Suggestions Tab? Or is there already? Anyway, I'm using the web client via Firefox on a Windows 7 Ultimate machine...

While setting up a new device or just searching for the next hiccup it would sometimes be useful to be able to jump to the currently playing media which is shown in the server dashboard. Maybe just by clicking on the image of the active device. ATM now, I have to search for the item in the search field (which sometimes work and sometimes not) or need to manually browse through the library to see the media details.

Sometimes when searching for a movie to watch I will set numerous filter criteria (Unplayed - Action - 2014 - PG13) for example. After Ive found what Im looking for its sort of cumbersome to have to go back in and unselect all the above individually. Any chance we can get a "clear all" button of some sort to get you back to viewing your entire library unfiltered? Plex does this and its very convenient. Thanks!

I know a lot of people use versions for things like HD/HDR/3D/mobile versions etc ... however I use versions exclusively for different editions of the same movie, so for things like extended edition, directors cut etc. Most of the time things like run time and even ratings change. However, these changes are not reflected when selecting a different version. It would be nice if they did change. As well, it would be great if somehow we could set the default. For example Tree of Life and Deadpool 2 default to their extended editions, and I'd prefer if all my movies defaulted to theatrical versions and then I can change them from there. Thanks.

Could we have People appear on the Favorites tab please as it would be a quick way to see all the movies/episodes etc for you favorite actor. Yes i could make a collection or playlist - but that needs updating manually You can favorite an Artist/Album Artist and they appear on the favorites tab - but not People/Actors - odd

Hi, The administration already improved a lot since I started using emby. However, it would be nice to be redirected to the media details page when you click on the thumbnail of the "Current playing" items in the administration. Thank's.

I have a couple of android boxes that are not android TV / <5.0 so are incompatible with both the android mobile and android TV apps. Luke has mentioned that there is no technical reason for withholding theater on android. So this is my formal feature request for theater on android

It would be handy to allow for sorting / rearranging of folders for libraries, so that, for example my TV Series folders can be in alphabetical order instead of added order - so I wouldn't have F drive, F drive, F drive, G drive, G drive, L drive, another F drive, then M drive, back to another G drive...

I was wondering if the metadata scraper or library scanner could scan a .actors folder within each movie to populate it imagesbyname folder.

Following from: It may help folks with an easier migration if Emby could also add support for the similar Plex-style id tags in the folder. This way folks don't need to rename their content to the Emby-syle ID tags to get it identified correctly. Plex Guidelines for naming: For shows: ShowName (2020) {tvdb-123456} or ShowName (2020) {tmdb-123456} (https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/) For movies: Batman Begins (2005) {imdb-tt0372784} or Batman Begins (2005) {tmdb-272} (https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files/)

Can we get the option to filter content within Live TV / Programs using such apps as the Emby Android TV app. Either a filter option, or two new categories. "New Shows This Week", "New Seasons This Week". Otherwise, a filter option to select "New", and sort by "Community/Critic Rating".

Please add an option to "Always play SDH Subtitle" under Subtitle Mode. Emby currently always pick Default or Forced, but SDH is the only subtitle I use, and it gets annoying having to manually change it for every movie and every episode that I watch.

i have thousands of obscure things... lots of shorts, things not on imdb, alternate versions of things etc.. and every time i have to move and redo my setup/re-import everything i have to spend days identifying things in my movie library... but there is no real way to do it... have to manually add an image and name etc... with plex i can just click one button UNMATCH and it removes the usually misidentified match/metadata and replaces it with the thumbnail and filename. just finding the mismatched items that aren't on imdb is a full days work ; ) : ( i'd kill for an unmatch button : )

We all can admit we watch and consume to much content these days and there is stuff we recorded that goes by the way side. While I love the recommended suggestions and the more like this features in Emby I would really appreciate a toggle similiar to the one currently found in home screen settings for hiding fully played content from the latest media rows which I personally find immensely helpful. Thats basically it. If you're like me and tend to see a lot of watched items in your suggestions/more like this areas and would like a toggle to hide fully played content from suggestions/more like this; then please hit the like button on this post to let the developers know you support the idea. I think this would be immensenly helpful/power feature to slip into the official 4.8 release if it doesnt require to much work and testing. Especially useful for those with large collections or huge backlogs of stuff they have forgotten about. Thanks. BAS

I like the way the show details pop up when I mouse over the guide. But is there a way to adjust the time before it pops up? Or disable it? It keeps popping up while I'm scrolling using the mouse wheel. Thanks!!

I'd like to request that the Playlist library have a displayed category and, "widget" on the homescreen in the similar fashion that movies, TV shows, music are shown. I create topical/seasonal playlists that I'd like my family members to see displayed from the homescreen with "recently added" carousel style. Currently, to the best of my knowledge, playlists are only accessible via their shortcut in the, "My Media" section. Thanks for your consideration!

I would love the ability to increase the size of subtitles on the different platforms, specially android, chrome and roku... One additional thing that would be great would be the ability to change font color, outline, drop shadow, font background... Thank you
