Hello, This is most certainly a very annoying bug. Emby client (Android TV) on Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 is skipping lines from srt file while Emby for Android on Shield and Emby for Android on an Android phone is not doing that. Maybe this will help you in debug: In additional tests, Plex client on Shield is having the same bug! Haven't find the time to test Jellyfin but why 2 different media servers' clients having the same bug on the same place. (Skipped lines from srt files are at the same place for both clients) From the attached subtitle. 87 is missing from video screen: There lots of missing lines on screen from subtitle file from now on. It begins with this line. Sharing screenshot from Android client and AndroidTV client: Jujutsu. Kaisen. S01E01. 1080p. WEB-DL. x265. 10Bit. 2CH. HEVC-sLaX.srt

Dear community I'm using KODI + Emby (installed on my NAS) for many years now, but now my kids are more and more playing around TV alone, and when I'm not especially around, and I would like to secure a little bit then content they may have access to. I tried to set up a new profile in KODI, ok that's easy so far. Then I set up a new profiles in Emby, selecting the content depending on tags (like TV-MA, FR-16...). When I logg of my Admin profile in KODI and enter the kids profile, it's like the plugin emby for kodi is not even installed (I chose "separate" for content source)... I tried to recreate another profile but choosing then "share" option. While loggin into my kids profile, there is an error message of the plugin Emby for Kodi, and I have no content... Well I'm a bit stuck, I don't really understand what I'm doing wrong... Any help would be much appreciated Thanks !

does anyone know if i can backup my emby database in windows and then transfer it to a emby linux install. Will this work or do I need to start with a fresh on Thanks Michael

I had to remove Emby due to setting up a incorrectly configured setting for SSL and set SSL to required. So I was no longer able to access it, but now after being uninstalled it wont install properly and won't shutdown via the Emby Web interface. I am trying to setup SSL again, but it doesn't seem to reconfigure when I force it closed and open again from the docker controls in TrueNAS. Is there something I am missing to get back to a fresh emby install, or is there something up with the image? I am trying to install the TrueNAS Scale official charts emby image. Any help is appreciated

Hello everyone, first of all I am new here and also in Emby, you will see me actively here often asking questions. I have a question, I have a proxmox server and inside 2 LXC one of jellyfin which is the one I currently use and another that I created a while ago to test Emby, I really want to see how it is because I have been told it is more advanced than Jellyfin and has more features and better clients, my doubt to all this is that my server has an intel i5 12500 with an iGPU UHD 770, currently I have by passthrough the 770 in the LXC of jellyfin and transcoding works perfectly and makes use of it if necessary, my question here is: In Emby will it also work the same way? or do I need a premium version? PD: this is how I have it configured in both Jellyfin and Emby, that's why I ask if I need the premium version to transcode or not.

Ubuntu X64 1. Download emby-server-deb_4.8.5.0_amd64.deb Easy, but then... 2. dpkg -i emby-server-deb_4.8.5.0_amd64.deb Incredibly, THIS is where I am stuck. I am assuming that #2 here needs to be run to extract the downloaded package properly: - Just doing a right-click on the download and trying to use GDebi installer doesn't do anything - Copy that command into Terminal and not matter what I do, (location and command in quotes due to the spaces in the names, etc) it can't find the file or the location or any of my active brain cells WHAT, SPECIFICALLY, do I have to do to run that command??!! I'll be forever grateful for help with this!

Hello there, As I've been using Emby for a while now, and I'm thoroughly enjoying its features for managing and streaming my media collection. However, I'm eager to explore further and enhance my experience with some plugins. I've heard there's a wide range available, but I'm not sure where to start. Could anyone recommend some must-have plugins that could take my Emby experience to the next level? I'm particularly interested in plugins that offer additional functionalities such as improved metadata management, subtitle support, or maybe even some fun extras like themed skins or advanced playback options. https://www.reddit.com/r/emby/comments/178hktb/how_to_plugins_work_with_emby_which_ones_do_you/info Additionally, if you have any personal favorites or hidden gems that you think deserve more recognition, I'd love to hear about them. Any tips on how to best utilize these plugins would be greatly appreciated as well. Thankyou in advance.

Emby is working fine with the latest 4.7 release but when I go to update it to 4.8 it starts to update the library.db and then fails saying the database is maformed. What can I do to get updated to 4.8 without just deleting the library.db and losing all data (especially watched data)? For some context this is an ubuntu 22.04 lxc container on a Proxmox server.

Hey Emby Team, I hope this message finds you well. I've been encountering a peculiar issue with audio playback in the Emby app on my primary device, an Android phone (SM-J600G, Android 10). This problem has persisted for about a year, and I thought it's high time to bring it to your attention. Description: The issue manifests when attempting to play songs from my music library. Occasionally, the selected song takes an unusually long time to play, and I notice that the media playback notification doesn't display the image of the selected song. Subsequently, any subsequent attempts to play songs from my music library fail. Strangely enough, the tracks, albums, or playlists that I attempted to play during this issue spontaneously start playing later when I'm not using the app, or when watching movies or shows. Observations: Selected song takes longer to play. No image of the selected song in the media playback notification. Behavior: Unable to play any song from the music library when the issue occurs. Version Information: Emby Server Version: 4.8.0.63 beta Emby Android App Version: 3.3.56 (latest pre-release) Device Information: Model: SM-J600G Android Version: 10 Steps to Reproduce: Launch Emby app. Select a song from the music library. Observe the two signs mentioned above. Additional Notes: I haven't had the opportunity to test this on other devices as my current setup revolves around this primary device. This issue has been persistent since I started using Emby, and its intermittent nature makes it challenging to pinpoint the root cause. I'm reaching out to the community and the Emby team for insights and assistance in resolving this matter. Thanks for your time and support! Best, Dinesh Shrestha

I seen a number of topics on this series with Emby. My issue is not quite the same as others so I decided to make another topic on it. I am a long time Plex user and recently I have not been happy with Plex and the current direction of the company. I have a massive amount of media I'm transitioning over from Plex. I am running on: Unraid Current Ver. 128GB Ram 1060 Super transcoding. I am new to Emby and I might not have the naming system down yet. Below are images that show my issue, this works prefectly on Plex. For some reason Season 1 has the special episode in season 1 and in specials, it is also moving most of season 2 into season one and in an incorrect order. I've done all I can think of to make this series to work correctly but no go. Any Emby pros on that can give this noob some direction? Thanks!

UPDATE: Seems to be broken by Python3.11. I installed it on my 4th box that I have running upstream packages, and 3.11 hoses it totally. Investigating. Well, I used to post my updates in my original thread, but I guess after 5 years I can no longer edit the first post with the latest details. So here we go. A new app, a new thread. 4.12 is a MAJOR ground-up overhaul of the EmbyUpdate app for Linux. I hope I didn't just break a bunch of people though. It was a monster task to get it to self-auto-update from the old app to the new app. I tested every way I could imagine, but things never go as planned out in the wild. Why I suppose Luke and company haven't got this as a built-in feature yet. If I broke you, I'm sorry. I did my best. But I feel the new architecture is here to stay. Future updates should be smooth, finally. But enough of that. On to the shiny. EmbyUpdate GitHub <== You install it here Note: Now requires Python 3.7+. Current development is on 3.9 and 3.10 but only 3.7 is required. EMBY Server auto-update You can use the app to install Emby for the first time or to keep your current server updated to the latest and greatest. When you first run the script it guides you through an interactive configuration to set it up just how you want. You can rerun the wizard at any time, or change any settings through command line arguments. You can set it up, and just run it when you want to check for updates. But what it was really created for was to run from CRON or SYSTEMD on a schedule to do all the work for you in the background. I've had it running for over 5 years, and never missed an update! Once it's set up, it just works. You choose during setup if you want Stable releases or Beta releases. From there, I'll keep you running on the latest. SELF AUTO-UPDATE Struggled for many years trying to figure out how to update a Python script in place. Old versions would download the new code, but keep running on the old code till that run was done. It wouldn't run the new code till the next time the app started. Now, for every run, it will check for self-updates, download one if there is one, install the update over its current code, and then restart itself to run with the new code. This is the first thing it does, so it's always running on the latest release. But I don't traditionally have a lot of those. Because, well, even the earliest releases would still work if they didn't keep messing with Python. But as Emby changes, and as Python marches on, I'll keep moving along with them. In 5 years I've only broken people once. And that was because of trying to merge a pull request from another user and not understanding fully how GitHub worked. I wanted SOME of his updates, but I got ALL of them. Sigh... Guess that's how you learn. Some cool new features: * If it can reach your Emby Server instance (by default it tries the standard port 8086 on localhost) it will pull the version from it, so it can know, right off the bat, if an update is needed. Use different ports? Use a different address? No prob, it will start a wizard to find out how to reach the server. Don't want to mess with it? You can turn that feature off, it'll never ask again or complain one bit. New install of Emby? You can just skip it. Next time it runs it'll try again. It doesn't need this to operate, but it helps it to keep track. In case you updated outside the app or did something weird. I'll work on a future update to give it access to more through the API if you give it login credentials. Maybe it can check if anyone is watching anything, and hold off until no one is streaming or logged into the server. It'll just keep trying till it finds the server free. How cool would that be? * It logs all self and Emby update history. So you can see what and when. Currently, you have to look in the DB with something like DBeaver, but finishing out that interface is high on the to-do list. I'll have that in a few weeks or less. Most of the config items are viewable/updateable through command-line arguments already. Just need to add views for the history databases. * Want to switch from Stable to Beta, or Beta to Stable? No prob. Just run the config updater and change what you want it to be. The app will switch you. Of course, use it at your own risk. Just like you would doing it manually, things can go wrong swapping back and forth. But you CAN. * I have lots of new features in mind. From email updates to a GUI for the desktop people. Course knowing my luck, just as I get all that written Luke will put auto-update into the Linux versions. I haven't had to worry about keeping up to date for years and years. Now you can not worry either! I run my Emby on a headless server in a storage closet-turned-server room. It's great not having to go jump through hoops every time Emby says there's an update! I haven't even seen that message in years!

Hello. I'm in app.emby.media website and I want to know where I can find a host to connect to the server.

Is that the only reason ? JF for AndroidTV seems to understand the requirement nicely .. The more I use the JF for AndroidTV - the more I like it - being honest here, I like it more than the Emby AndroidTV App (it is modern looking functional version of that App..) Putting all the configuration/preferences in the proper Android TV side bars is so nice .. it all integrates beautifully .. .. one of my primary reasons for not even giving the Android client a fair test is this screen below - it's just ugly and unfinished, the episode thumbnail is not even centered in the white background ... If you need to do vertical scrolling, then do what AndroidTV did and just highlight the area BORDER (in grey/low intensity white) .. Although I actually much prefer how JF are doing it (Horizontal Scrolling - to match the rest of the App.. and this makes much better use of the screen estate for the highlighted option ..) anyway - sorry, way off topic .. back to Refresh Rate / Resolution switching - sorry !

My computer (the movie server with Emby) is connected to my router. My TV is on the other side of the house, and it's connected to a router extender, which is connected to the router for my PC. Hope that makes sense... When I open Emby on my TV, it connects to the PC without using the internet, but it still asks me to purchase Emby when I try to watch anything. Is this normal? I have another TV connected directly to my router, and it doesn't require payment.

hi,5-6 years off emby user,i have a problem,i changed isp for better speed cause in my area we dont have fiber yet,i have a router with 4g-5g sim card connection,for my bad they dont allowe some ports ,its locked via isp and emby cant work from outside home,i tried plex and for my suprise it work with indirect connection and auto port map,how can i do this to emby?

Hello, For transparency, I have posted this issue on the Terra-Master forum also. Terra-Master Forum post link I am hoping someone can help me out. I tried to update my Emby server from 4.6 to the latest version 4.7.11.0. However the app failed to update and now it has disappeared on my TOS desktop and I cannot update or reinstall the application. The error message I receive is "Operation Failed!". Now my Emby server is down. Can someone guide me on how to update or if the worse come to the worse at least re-install the application please? My TOS version and TNAS details are: Terra-Master F4-210 4-bay ARM based TOS version: 4.2.31-2203011629

Background Plugins, extensions and integrations make an important part of the Emby ecosystem. Plugin development is open to everybody and many great plugins have been created by Emby community members. To show our appreciation for the great work and achievements of community developers, we took steps in order to improve in an area where we haven't done that well in the recent past: Developer Support. When talking about support, there are several different facets to evaluate and consider. We probably did fairly well when it was about responding to user questions - but not that much when it came to providing accurate and up-to-date information, documentation and code examples. Emby SDK It has been just about time to make a change to that and over the past months we have intensively worked on improving that situation. Eventually, we have ended up with a fully loaded package of information, resources, tools and sample code - exclusively for all of you developers, so today we're proud to present: The EMBY SDK https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.SDK Website - emby dev In parallel to the SDK, we are launching: the new emby developer site https://dev.emby.media Introduction Video For a comprehensive introduction to the Emby SDK, watch the video, either by installing the Plugin for The Emby Show Or watch it on YouTube: The Emby Show Episode 3 - Emby SDK - or below Questions?

Hi All, so, I have Emby for several years, after I head Plex for some time before then. In another thread here someone asked me if I used Sonarr and Radarr... I had no idea then what they were. So I first peeked at it, then looked at it, then I felt overwhelmed by what it all requires. I sidelined it for several months, before I thought to try it. Again, I was dumb-struck by what it all requires (indexers for example). I did have Emby, and I like that it recognized my movies even though my naming scheme was nothing like what Emby recommends (> Movies , > TV-Series). Mine is, more or less, movies/<year YYYY>/<movie name>.(<year YYYY>).some.other.info.like.res.or.language/<movie name>.some.other.info.like.res.or.language.<ext> TV shows are much more in disarray. So I installed Radarr, after I had decided to use debian as base-OS for the VM. And I thought Radarr would help me with my movies. Well, I had to correct my opinion really quick, I don't think it does help. Not with movies I already have. It might help with new movies, but I does have to test that. Not to get stuck on a specific problem, I added Sonarr. Then I understood, I will not get very far without an Indexer. So, I looked into NZBHydra2. I did like the looks of it, but then I decided to use Prowlarr nonetheless (at this point I purged this VM and started a new one from scratch, start from square one). I was lucky to get into drunkenslug for free, added Binsearch (free), looking at nzbplanet right now. I added Whisparr as last one of the Servarr package, I am not sure I need the others. I then added a headless qBit, and I started using it, just to test it. After some issues with it at first, I am quite fond of it now. As part of my DLNA troubleshooting, I had set up another VM along the way with Jellyfin that serves the same movies as Emby. Lastly, I added SABnzb. I had an Eweka subscription for some time, but it was dormant. I have to say I am used to download usenet article by article, and have some windows tool assemble it all. If the tool fails, I just kick the entire download. But I basically did not use nzb-files. That was years ago. (I first downloaded from the usenet in the first haf of the nineties,) Planned, but not implemented, it JD2. I have to say that I am not done at all. Populating Prowlarr with indexers helped to get all the other populated as well. So, without adding any connections or dataflow, this is my setup: I must admit I have not used the whole "Arr-"chitecture yet. Not once. I usually look at what is "hot" and "Top" on the trackers, I look at IMDB for similar movies to one I like or movies from an actor I like. How do I get Radarr or Sonarr to match my path-Setup: Radarr: Year/Movie Name (Year)/Movie file.ext Sonarr: Series Name/Season #/Series Name E##S##.<episode name if known>.ext Whisparr: <Genre or Keyword>/Movie Name (Year)/Movie file.ext How do I get Radarr to help my identify what is hot on a tracker? How do I get qBit not to lose track of where the data goes after it was completely downloaded? How do I get Sonarr prefer full seasons over single episodes? Has anyone else here a similar software-setup and perfected all the settings and the "inter-software-communication"? Can you help me with my issues? I would love to hear from others! Cheers, Roodee

Hello, can you please clarify if there is more than one codebase active for Emby Server? Or if it is true that the work done in https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby has been moved / continued to/in https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases ? This request is to get clarity about the product(s). While reviewing this security advisory: https://securitylab.github.com/advisories/GHSL-2021-051-emby it showed up, that the NVD has set this CPE cpe:2.3:a:emby:emby.releases, while other existing CVEs have cpe:2.3:a:emby:emby for the server. According to NVD this is due to the assumption, that different codebases / products might exist. Can you please share some insights on this topic? Thank you in advance Oliver

Hi Lads, I've installed the plugin and it works fine but I don't find the radio I've got in the TuneIn website/app. I tried to search by "search tab" but i didn't find the station and i tried also to change location. No way. Anyway, I tried putting my user and latlong in the tab and searching folder to folder my favorite station with no result. Is there any solution to "import" the urls/fav from TuneIn web/app? Thanks!

Wann kommt endlich die Emby App für Samsung Tizen TV für Deutschland / Schweiz /Österreich ? Es ist sehr mühsam die App jeden Monat neu zu Installieren!!! Klar ist das eine doofe Restriktion von Samsung für externe Apps wo Emby nichts dafür kann, aber es müsste mit Samsung eine Lösung gefunden werden ! Also, haut hier in die Tasten und schreibt eure Meinung dazu, dammit sich endlich was bewegt........
