I have a new problem now, please help me. I am currently using folder.jpg image and person.nfo in the actor folder. Emby matches and displays the photo and actor information, but when I edit and update the actor folder again after matching, the actor's photo and information disappear. My actor folder is called miru. I deleted the miru folder in people and then added it again, but Emby could no longer recognize it. I tried refreshing the metadata and scanning the media library, and also tried refreshing the media metadata separately in the person interface - scanning for missing data. None of them can be recognized. How should I make the photos appear again? Is this a bug? @Luke
-
Where does emby store actor images when only local nfo is used. I found that there is no people folder under metadata. How should I add all actor pictures at once. Can I put all the actors' photos into a folder and let emby read it?
-
Out of nowhere, all my metadata images just stopped loading after a reboot. Some images do appear but its the wrong type Logs embyserver.txt

So I wish I had the time or pre-existing skills to write a plugin here. I know several languages, but alas... nobody wants my life story. My hope is that someone already involved in plugin development or development in the main server will be inspired by this idea. If Ebooks can be "identified" through Emby with their ISBN, I can logically see a plugin/feature of Emby that would take the following information, generate the appropriate URL, parse the URL for a specific div, and copy the contents of that div into various metadata fields. For instance... The Book Thief by Markus Zusak... BOOK OVERVIEW (see attached screenshot) http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/book-thief-markus-zusak?ean=9780375842207 URL format: "http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/" + full-title + author-first-last + "?ean=" + isbn13 Inside this page, copy contents of div.overview-desc, stripping out the h2 tags and their contents note: isbn13 from above is stripped of hyphens BOOK COVER IMAGE http://prodimage.images-bn.com/pimages/9780375842207.jpg simple url format: "http://prodimage.images-bn.com/pimages/" + isbn-13 + ".jpg" note: isbn13 from above is stripped of hyphens ------------------------------------ Of course, this may need to be built into Emby Server in order to integrate the "identify" feature as seen in movies, television, etc. But the ISBN could always be manually input into the "website" part of the metadata, or the "comic vine volume id" since these ebooks aren't going to be in their database. This process can be duplicated for other information as well... Star ratings (see attached screenshot), reviews, and most other sites. As long as those sites are database driven, we can find that pattern. I'd love to help, but time is in short supply.

Recently reset my book & comic library to get it working with the latest version of emby, and noticed that external metadata files aren't being generated for supported files. Tried manually creating/importing nfo, opf, and xml files, but they're either not supported, not being detected, or aren't properly formatted. Any tips? I'm able to edit metadata for the titles, but it clearly isn't being stored in or with the files. Thus far I've tested cbz, epub, and pdf books with manually extracted cover thumbs. On my home machine, I typically manage my epub books with Calibre (I use the current version), and my cbz books with ComicRack (I don't believe the software's maintained any more, however). While Calibre generates opf metadata files, ComicRack usually stores its metadata of the cb7/cbr/cbt/cbz archive files as an xml archived inside the file. Though I doubt there's time or resources available for emby devs to enable the server software to extract the metadata from these files, I am curious as of what the proper method is since emby's clearly storing the metadata that it does have somewhere (the cache perhaps?). Of additional minor note, the current metadata for books doesn't seem to include an author tag, so I've been keeping that data in the title. Is that intended to be placed in the Studio tag or something? Stay awesome! EDIT: Also, any genre tags on books link to the equivalent Movie genre instead (if they exist). Tags seem to work properly at least.

I have the version 4.8.8.0 of Emby in a docker container on a synology NAS. I also have the premiere 'unlock' if that even matters for this issue. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly until I needed to use the Identify option for a 3rd tv series, Wonder Woman. I had successfully accessed, and changed, using the moviedb id, the shows, Magnum P.I. and Speed Racer. The numbered logfile contains at least the Speed Racer alteration. Note that '_sanitized' just means I altered my username. It's the only user w/full perms. The media filesystems are read-only so there are messages indicating writes to the posters/background images in those filesystems weren't successful. That has not changed so I seriously doubt it would be the issue. I've monitored the log file (tail -f), clicked on the Identify option, and received the web error dialog but nothing shows up in the logs. As a point of "hey this would be a nice thing to log feature request", please make that a thing/why is that not a thing? The screenshot files are only for Wonder Woman, but I receive the same error for any tv_show or movie I attempt to access 'Identify' on now. Other metadata editing options, e.g. "Edit Metadata", work fine. Identify just seems to be wedged/locked out. I've also restarted the docker container w/no joy. Please advise. embyserver_sanitized.txt embyserver-63854110750_sanitized.txt

I swear the option was there before, searching the forum does not appear to show any other reports of this. Is there a reason we dont have TheTvDB as a Season Level MetaData provider anymore (Emby Server Version: 4.8.8.0)

I recently added the movie Robin Hood Prince of Thieves to my movie library. Emby correctly identified the movie, but the images are for the movie Open Water. When I searched for new images the primary did have an image for the right movie along with a bunch for the wrong movie. All other image searches only had images for Open Water. The cast, description and everything else seem correct, just the wrong images. Any thoughts?

Bonjour, Tout d'abord, je m'excuse si la question a déjà été posée, mais après avoir cherché, je n'ai pas trouvé de réponse. Est-il possible d'enregistrer les métadonnées des films directement dans un fichier (ou dans le fichier du film en lui même) ? Cela me serait utile dans le cas où je devrais configurer une nouvelle machine avec les mêmes disques durs, sans devoir refaire les identifications, car certaines d'entre elles échouent sur certains de mes fichiers... Merci.

Hi, I have 2 tv-shows in my library that somehow doesn't get metadata downloaded. If I go into Metadata Editor (both for the show, season and episode) I can see that Emby has the right ID for the show on thetvdb.com and IMDB, which both has at least some text descriping the specific episode. But the text doesn't get downloaded into Emby. The shows are named like "show name S01E01 episode name", but I have tried without episode name which didn't make any difference. The episodes are located in a folder named "Season 1" which in turn are located in a folder named "show name". I have tried to look at the log files, but as I don't know what to look for it is not easy. Does anyone has any idea on how I can fix this issue?

Duplicate Support for embedded mood tags for music tracks
smsamee posted a topic in Feature Requests
Music is an integral part of our daily lives, and its impact is often tied to the mood it helps evoke or express. I would like to propose a feature that I believe could significantly enrich the music listening experience on Emby: the addition of mood tags for music tracks by reading the mood descriptors from embedded metadata in music tracks, enabling users to filter and create playlists based on their emotional tone. -
HEIC file metadata keywords not being read and sorted in Tags
ElektronVolt posted a topic in Synology
Emby does not seem to be parsing the metadata tags for HEIC files. I can see view the imported HEIC files in the Photos tab, but they are not showing up in the Tags tab. It appears Emby is not parsing keywords properly for HEIC files like it can for JPEG and other formats, even though in the keywords for both formats are in the xmp-dc:subject metadata field. Is this a known limitation? -
Starting from today, a new metadata plugin is available in the catalog: TV Maze Metadata Provider This is a highly efficient metadata provider for TV series which is safe to add as it has very low impact on library scanning performance. Features: A single API request per series provides all data: series, season, episode, seriesimage, seasonimage, episodeimage and extra images (banner, logo, backdrop) New 2-stage caching mechanism Single JSON file per series/person In-Memory Cache with auto-expiration Failed lookup caching (with auto-expiration) Uses TvMaze update checking mechanism Works by timestamp comparison Cached files do not expire by fixed interval Added episode matching by name and air date Metadata Providers TvMazeSeriesProvider TvMazeEpisodeProvider TvMazeSeasonProvider TvMazePersonProvider Image Providers TvMazeSeriesImageProvider TvMazeEpisodeImageProvider TvMazeSeasonImageProvider TvMazePersonImageProvider Limitations Provides metadata in English language only (but it is able to identify series and episodes by original title) Updates Version 4.8.0.20 (March 11, 2023) Now also provides crew information (people) for series Provides guest-cast and guest-crew information (people) for episodes

I am new to Emby, but I am not new to technology or media servers. I have had media servers since Windows NT 3.5/4.0 Server (yeah, I am that old). Current Server: Synology DS1621+ (AMD Ryzen 32Gb RAM)/Emby v4.8.3.0 -- Players: Roku Ultra 4 and Web Browsers META ISSUE 1 My first movie media library had about 250 items. I noticed 12 or so movies did not display the correct meta information; Robin Hood (1991) - 1K.mkv and You Only Live Twice (1967).mkv, and The Two Towers (2002) - Extended Edition-disk1.mkv had the 'wrong' cover art. OK STOP.... I know I can (and did) update the mkv files from the meta manager, but from my perspective I should not have to. Why you ask?... For years I have been using MetaX to add metadata and art to my mp4/mkv files. (I am NOT affiliated with or endorsing MetaX, I am simply providing information to expatiate a resolution) Here are screen shots of MetaX, and Windows Explorer displaying the expected metadata. I have also noticed many of my embedded short/long descriptions are being ignored/not imported as well. So yes, I am new to Emby, is there a setting/plugin I missed? I am frustrated, from my perspective, Emby should be using my data FIRST but it appears you are not. I should not have to check every movie every time I add a new file to the server, but I fell like I have to. Help/Thanks. META ISSUE 2 (Should this be a separate post?) Overview: I have 2 volumes, volume1 is for my company/work/web files, volume2 is the media drive with mp3/mp4/mkv files. volume2 is at 85% capacity, so as a temporary fix, I added a media folder to volume1 and gave Emby R/W permission to that folder. I had the movie Moonfall on volume2 there was no issue with the metadata. see screen cap below. I decided to add/move my 4K movies to volume1 as a temp storage solution. Here are the steps I took: Deleted Moonfall. Shut off Emby server. Moved Moonfall to volume1, added Apollo 13 to volume 1. Started Emby server. Added new folder. Scanned media folders. Apollo 13 came up as Emmanuelle, I mean wow, Apollo 13 is NOTHING like Emmanuelle, and Moonfall became Through My Window. The metadata was fine on volume2, but not on volume1? PLUS there is metadata already embedded in the mkv file! As a further test, I deleted the volume1 folder, moved Moonfall back to volume2, and poof the correct metadata is there. What am I missing or not understand? Help/Thanks. embyserver-63847518877.txt embyserver.txt

How to find a specific title that has been improperly matched?
ZLuckyTraveler posted a topic in General/Windows
How to find a specific title that has been improperly matched? There’s a certain TV show titled “Traces” that I have, however it cannot be found via search or manually searching in the library itself. It would seem that it has been automatically improperly matched upon library creation a while ago. I have thousands of tv shows, so checking one by one is not viable. I have checked alternative titles that are used for this show, and already checked other titles that are similar as well, with no success. How can I find what it has been improperly matched as, so I can fix it? -
Hi I noticed newly added series no longer fetch metadata and images from TheTVDB. The first series which didn't retrieve info was Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024) so I thought it was because Emby couldn't find the correct Avatar series but even after identifying the series and forcing a metadata refresh only the series description is filled in, no images are retrieved and the episodes are not recognised. Today I tried with another series: 'Death and Other Details' but the result is the same: Attached are the server logs for yesterday (with the identify) and today. I do notice a lot of Unauthorized errors in the logs. Is there an issue with TheTVDB right now? I'm still using Emby 4.7.14.0 as I'm waiting on an update to make the Android TV app compatible with Emby 4.8. embyserver-5.txt embyserver-63846403200.txt

Ever had to rename an entire series worth of file to the proper format? It sucks... It's time consuming.... Does anyone else have use for something like this? Double clicking a folder will go into that sub-directory. Single clicking highlights a file, click multiple files will highlight multiple files. Any suggestions? Was it worth the time?

Language issue when setting up different librairies with same folders
innos posted a topic in General/Windows
I recently switched over to Emby from Plex and while me and the households of my siblings are perfectly fine with having Emby in English our parents don't speak any English at all, so we had to find a way to have the metadata on Emby in Hungarian as well. Since you can't have multi-language libraries where users can just switch to another metadata language on the client side, I've tried to create new libraries with a different metadata language but with the same folders, and then I would hide the English libraries from my parents' user accounts. This is how my Plex was set up and this setup worked fine on Plex without issues, but for some reason on Emby my new Hungarian language libraries didn't want to switch over to Hungarian, no matter what I did. I've double-checked the library metadata settings multiple times, I've restarted Emby, I forcefully refreshed all the metadata for my new libraries, but nothing worked. I noticed that when I was refreshing the metadata for my new libraries the percentage icon also appeared on top of my old English libraries that were sharing the same folders with my new libraries, which made me think that because these libraries happen to share the same folders for some reason Emby treats them as if they were actually the same library, and that's why it was refusing to switch over from English because that's the metadata language of my old library. I've tried searching the Emby forums and Google, but I couldn't find anything about this issue. But I did see a comment that said that having libraries with the same folders can cause issues and bugs, which further confirmed my suspicion that these different libraries were treated by Emby as if they were the same library. As a temporary solution to this issue, I thought that for my new Hungarian libraries, I had to have new folder paths that differed from the ones that the old English ones use. Since making copies of my video folders, which take up multiple terabytes, would be a waste of space and time, I thought of creating Symbolic Links at a different location that point to my video folders, and using the folder path of my Symbolic Links I would be able to trick Emby into thinking these are different folders. Since I host my Emby server on Windows I used an app called Link Shell Extension to create the Symbolic Links. For example, this is the folders of my old English movie library: And this is the new folder path I made using Symbolic Links: After I did this Emby finally switched over the metadata language of my new libraries to Hungarian. I wrote this all down not only just to report this issue, but also help those who might encounter this same issue in the future.

TV Show episode names not updating after getting updated on TVDB
Crestj posted a topic in General/Windows
Emby Server on Windows 10 (v 4.6.7.0) After adding Moon Knight (https://thetvdb.com/series/moon-knight) the first episode is available with the title in Emby as "TBA". No matter how many times I try and refresh all metadata on the episode, series or whole TV show it remains at "TBA". TVDB is the first metadata provider for the TV Shows library and it has the correct name for the episode. The filename even has the name of the episode in it. The metadata is NOT locked (first thing I checked). I had this before with Book of Boba Fett and had to edit the metadata manually but thought it was an isolated case. The server log only shows ffprobe.exe refreshing the episode thumbnail and coverart doing it's thing (CoverArt: image enhance of Moon Knight took 0.016 seconds.) I even deleted the metadata nfo file and refreshed the episode, and it recreate the file with TBA in the details: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <episodedetails> <plot><![CDATA[Steven Grant learns that he may be a superhero, but may also share a body with a ruthless mercenary.]]></plot> <outline /> <lockdata>false</lockdata> <dateadded>2022-03-31 00:22:13</dateadded> <title>TBA</title> I've run out of troubleshooting ideas now! -
I thought there was already something for this, but I can't seem to find it. I'd like to see Mate-data languages in the language that the user sets. So for example, if a user has their device set to Dutch, all meta data is displayed in Dutch, whereas the same item would be displayed in Spanish if the user has set their device to Spanish. Movie/series posters in the display language of the device would be a nice addition to this as well

Hi I noticed that for most of the movies added to my library in the last months the metadata is not in the language I set in the library settings. Language is set to 'Dutch': But the metadata for these movies is in English. For example 'Saltburn (2023)' is available on TheMovieDb with Dutch overview but looks like this (https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/930564-saltburn?language=nl): For some movies the overview is in English and the title in Chinese (original language of the movie): This is also available on TheMovieDb with a Dutch overview and English title : https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/535167?language=nl I can give other examples if needed. A few examples of recent movies which were correctly retrieved in Dutch are: Moonfall (2022), Trolls Band Together (2023) and Godzilla - King of the Monsters (2019). Does anyone have the same issue or a hint at what might cause this?

Gamebrowser - Metadata GET fails due to game system param being null
josht posted a topic in Plugins
Hello, I am trying to get gamebrowser working on my emby instance. I have the addon v3.2.9 installed on Emby 4.7.14.0 running on Docker. Folder structure is as spelled out in the Gamebrowser guide post: /mnt/user/multimedia/Games/N64/Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire/Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire.z64 Games Library root: /mnt/user/multimedia/Games/ I configured my game systems in the plugin config as follows: <?xml version="1.0"?> <PluginConfiguration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <GameSystems> <ConsoleFolderConfiguration> <Path>/mnt/user/multimedia/Games/N64</Path> <ConsoleType>Nintendo 64</ConsoleType> </ConsoleFolderConfiguration> </GameSystems> </PluginConfiguration> I also have the EmuMovies plugin installed with my creds stored in the config. When i add the /mnt/user/multimedia/Games/ folder as a library, it finds the games and created entries that list the file names, but does not pull any images or other metadata for them. when i look in the debug logs, i see entries like this: 2024-01-11 21:05:57.105 Debug App: Running FolderImageProvider for /mnt/user/multimedia/Games/N64/Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire 2024-01-11 21:05:57.110 Debug App: Running EmuMoviesImageProvider for /mnt/user/multimedia/Games/N64/Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire/Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire.z64 2024-01-11 21:05:57.110 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.gamesdbase.com/search.aspx?search=Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire&system=&media=Cabinet&sessionid=REDACTED 2024-01-11 21:05:57.195 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.gamesdbase.com/search.aspx?search=Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire&system=&media=Cart&sessionid=REDACTED 2024-01-11 21:05:57.277 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.gamesdbase.com/search.aspx?search=Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire&system=&media=Snap&sessionid=REDACTED 2024-01-11 21:05:57.361 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.gamesdbase.com/search.aspx?search=Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire&system=&media=Title&sessionid=REDACTED If you look in the URLs, you will see that the "system" parameter is empty. If i take one of those URLs and alter it and put in the correct system parameter like system=Nintendo_N64, it works. What am I configuring incorrectly which is preventing Emby and the plugins from determining the value to pass as the system? -
The Edit Subtitles context menu option on a Movie Collection item presents a Search for Subtitles dialog. It appears that the Filename, instead of the title and year information from the Media item, is used to perform the such. This results in non-matching items, due to media file naming conventions conflicting with the opensubtitles provider. Further, it would be useful to be able to upload a subtitle file in this dialog, as an alternative.

Completed Emby Theater - Display Title, Duration and other Metadata Below the Selected Extra
funwithmedia posted a topic in Feature Requests
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. PS - If this is something you might like to see implemented, be sure to "Like" this top/first post (as well as any subsequent posts in this thread that highlight particular aspects of what you are interested in) -- "Liking" the top/first post helps the Devs to know how much interest there is in a given Feature Request.- 7 replies

Hello, I tried to configure one of my media library to only take metadata from a nfo file. The thing is that the shows on this library are re-mixed by an unofficial team so the metadatas are not provided by official metadata providers like tvdb or imdb. Anyway, for majority of the show informations, the metadata are well retreived from the nfo file. There's only one field that is not : the season name... There's an extract of the nfo and screens of my library's configuration. tvshow.nfo It's my first time sending a message on this forum, so I'm sorry if it's not on the right area. Best regards,
