I don't use audio or books for one user and another is strictly set up for movies, so having the other favorites there with nothing in them is a waste - would it be possible to add a setting to hide categories that are empty?

This is more of an annoyance than anything serious but the rest of the app has gotten so good that I thought I'd at least mention it. My favorites list doesn't update consistently. When I remove and add new shows only the first update "takes". The list then stays the same until I close the app and relaunch it, then it's fine.

It's quite useful to be able to quickly add/remove items as Favorites with the context menu while in the Emby app (via WMC or elsewhere). I use this to keep, for example, a handy list of TV shows I'm currently watching, so that I can go to that selection rather than wading through all the shows I have. My son uses a list of Favorites in his movies. In many cases, like the TV shows example, it would be nice to have a per-user checkbox configuration option in the Emby server's User settings to toggle the Favorites view option to be enabled when the user logs in. Currently, it's disabled by default and the user must navigate to the Favorites option on the settings bar (MBC on WMC) which, while not a lot of extra work, gets wearisome when it's pretty much my default first action for any given view. I'm aware there might be sort order issues as per the comment in http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/21749-favorites-on-ehs-chocolate/ but perhaps the setting could be implemented in such a way as to toggle the Favorites view after the user has entered the category view, when the option is checked in User config? Thanks for taking the time to read through this! I've been a supporter for about a year now and I'm generally very happy with Emby

For some reason after marking a bunch of Collections "Favorites" (created by AutoBox Sets plugin), there are none showing up on my "Favorites" page. Surely that is an oversight because if I go all the way in to the Movies then Collections (how its set to display currently) I can set my filter to only show my "Favorite" Collections, but that is so much more effort. Please include Collections in the "Favorites", thanks.

When using the roku app, the favorites list in the LiveTV section drops channels a lot of times. On the web guide I'll have maybe 14-16 channels, 12-13 of these channels will show up on the favorites list on the Roku. Most of the time the channel at the end will be missing from the favorites list. Logging out and logging back in sometimes fixes the problem. Say I have 516-530 favorited, 530 will likely be missing as well as one or two channels in between from the Live TV stripe. Web view of EMBY will be fine though in browser. Roku 1.96 Server tried 3.0.5572.0 as well as 3.0.5582.2 beta HDHomeRun prime ServerWMC 1.0.0.56 build 1190 Not sure where to begin with a bug report like this. Which logs need to be provided? I can dump the server logs for sure... not sure how to get records from the other systems if required. Anyone else have an issue here or know how to fix this? EDIT: Found how to enable development mode on the Roku, will try to get some paired server and roku logs if a dev thinks this is required.

Can we get Favourites into the next release please - yes I'm banging on about this again but I just keep on getting workarounds despite the supposed unified experience of MB3 across all platforms

Hi, I love MB and use it daily for live TV and recording shows. I was hoping MB would also make using separate bubbleupnp/twonky music servers redundant. Unfortunately, that is not possible yet as MB lacks certain options (or maybe I am lacking understanding which is why I am posting). My current music collection is organized by genres. Each song also has a rating. I also use a media player ( WMP,winamp, Music Bee etc) to create a dynamic playlist based on ratings, recently played, and so on. These are my three main ways of finding and playing music. It seems with MB i can only use the genre category because MB doesn't see the rating tag and neither does it recognize playlists from other players. MB does have something called "favorites" for songs but I can't seem to figure out how to add or remove songs from that list. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Hello I have been using Media Browser Classic for a while and it's great for the lounge setting but not really that good for the desktop setting (sitting in front of the computer). So I thought I would try Media Browser Theater. First Media Browser Theater controls need to be tweaked for mouse input. I find navigating around using the mouse a bit annoying. Not as bad as Media Browser Classic but still needs some work. The other problem is that I can't seem to find the favourite option in Media Browser Theater? Is there one? (Love heart icon) Thank you very much for all of the time and effort you guys put into this great software.

Hi, Does anyone have any ideas for how I can get a view of Favorite Actors in Media Browser Classic, similar to the first screenshot below from Media Browser Server? I don't want index on 'Perfomer', as this just gives you the billions of Actors in the collection. Ideally I want to pick who my favorite actors are, and have a movie count next to their name. One method I thought of was to create new 'Library' in Media Browser Server call Actors, then create folders for each Actor and manually create shortcuts for each of their movies. It sort of works, but I can't get the image of the actor looking okay - second screenshot below. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Mark

Im Loving this app especially the ease of use but the only thing is that there is no favorites for TV shows or movies. I have over 600 movies and 200 TV shows and for the wife scrolling through all of that when she wants to watch something is a pain. So on the server i add what she wants to favorites but there is no way to see that list in the app(unless im missing something).

In MBC it is possible to mark folders and Box Sets as a favourite - a heart icon displays in the corner and the folder or boxset image appears on the EHS when I have favourites selected. When I enter into Favourites these folders and boxsets do not show up. Favourites seems to be limited to TV Shows, Movies, Music, Books, etc - but no folders/boxsets. Can boxsets and folders be made visible in the favourites section please? Also, on the server client there doesn't seem to be a way to mark folders or boxsets as a favourite.

I see lots of discussion about the favorites folder, but not much about managing the content within. I use Chocolate, but I see no way to toggle (or otherwise change) the favorites setting of a movie. I'm guessing it is in some configuration menu, but I'm on my umteenth look and it just isn't coming to me. Thanks!

I just performed a fresh install of MB Server and copied over the following: config directory, plugin directory, ImagesByName directory, data/users.db, and data/displaypreferences.db. Restoring these files brought back everything except the Favorites setup on MBC. I know that they're not stored on the client because the only thing touched there was removing the ImageCache directory. Can anyone tell me where favorites are stored on the server?

When viewing a list of episodes for a season, it would be nice to have an icon (such as a heart) next to the episodes that have been marked as a favorite.

I've edited the strings-en.xml file to change the spelling of favorite to favourite - this word appears in a few different places, these are the ones I've altered: <ShowFavoritesCollectionConfigDesc>Show a top level collection with all your items marked as Favourite in it. Restart MBC to see changes.</ShowFavoritesCollectionConfigDesc> <ShowFavoritesCollectionConfig>Show Favourites Collection</ShowFavoritesCollectionConfig> <AddFavoriteCMenu>Add Favourite</AddFavoriteCMenu> <RemoveFavoriteCMenu>Remove Favourite</RemoveFavoriteCMenu> <Favorite>Favourite</Favorite> But I don't see an element to enable changing the word "Favorites" which appears as a virtual collection name on the EHS. So when I run MBC, all occurrences of the word have the UK spelling except for the most obvious one.

Hi, Favorites stopped displaying using Unwatched a few updates back, in any theme. I apologise for not remembering when, but I kind of just assumed it would right itself eventually. Now I have the latest 117 release, with the new chocolate and square, but still no watched or unwatched, in fact I can only get it to populate using "Latest". I also do not see the new favorites view anywhere, I only have 3 options in all themes, watched (mt), unwatched (mt) and latest, which populates properly. I can see using chocolate that I apparently added Fav TV, Fav Movies, Fav Games and Fav Books on the 01/01/0001 , yes that's the date it displays. Basically in MB2 I pretty much just used Favorites on EHS to see if I had anything new to watch, and while its only a few more clicks to go right into Fav TV and see, it is still mildly annoying. Its also pretty odd to me that I have 4 Fav Categories, 3 of which I don't even have libraries for. I make it a point to NEVER fav a movie, as that would really make seeing new TV shows a pain.

If I favorite an adult movie, I don't see it showing up in my favorites in MBC anywhere - does another category need to be added or should these fall under movies?

Is there a way to disable seeing the Books and Games Folders in the favorites? I don't have either on my media centers.

Is there a location under "ImagesByName" where icons/backgrounds can be set for the Favorite Books, Favorite Movies etc sections located under Favorites view?
