If you find a feature request posted here that you wish the development team to implement then like/thumbs up the first post of that thread. The devs monitor how many ‘likes’ that post gets and the more votes, the higher up the list it goes. Hopefully pushing it closer to being added to Emby. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Quick question: Is there a way to send a message to all users who are logged in/watching something? Occasionally I need to reboot the Emby server machine and would like to send out a message to all logged in that it will be down for about 5 minutes. I couldn't find any information on this with a quick forum search.

I know this has been discussed before but can we get back the embedded audio track titles? This was chaged a few weeks back around the time when the multiple version selection was introduced. I get that people dont want to have tracks named weirdly by release groups seeking attention but i mostly do not download content and take the time set my track names just as i like them. I guess that could be an option to "auto rename tracks" or "read track names as is" to please everyone. That would make a good xmas gift Thank you !

Is one of these two options preferred? Does it matter? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would like to request a new feature. I want to be able to setup a scheduled task that converts all my media to MP4 when the system is ideal and delete the original after the conversion is successful. Is there a way to do this now? If not, how do we go about putting in a feature request to get this added?

Hoping someone can explain how this works because Im confused and trying to solve an irritation. When I watch live TV, and commercials come on, they vary between dolby surround and dolby digital. This causes my receiver to cut out while switching sound profiles and sound drops out in-between commercials with different profiles. I recorded a show while this happened live and when I playback the recording everything stays in dolby digital so the audio dropouts never happen. Is the recording being converted even though its direct streaming (shows unsupported container for the video portion). Next question is, besides downmixing to stereo, is there a way for live tv to maintain the same audio regardless of what the feed is sending like it does on recordings? Im trying to eliminate the dropouts and they happen regardless of direct playing live tv or allowing timeshifting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, Newbie here. I created an user name and email address of your Emby online account and would like to request the deletion of my account for not using the service. Thanks.

So it would be nice if we could choose to hide libraries from the top instead of being forced to see it. See like in my case I would like to have movie collections and playlist but without them appearing on the top in libraries. And I was thinking that it would be a nice feature to be able to hide them if preferred because you can already access them from other areas. For examples for playlist you can just go under the music library and tap on playlist, or the collections is under movies. I'm not saying to completely remove them but to give the option to hide them. That would be a feature I would like to see in Emby

In playlists, you can hit shuffle and randomly play the contents of that list (or music). Would it be possible to add that capability in the Collections folder (either individual collection or the root) as well as for root folders like Movies? That way it would be possible to just have Emby randomly play anything from such a folder (for nighttime play for example)?

Would to be able to edit & tweak plugins from the iOS app Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It would help to have the devices that are actively streaming moved to the top or put somewhere easily found on the dashboard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When we search for a title on the Android TV home screen using voice search or the keyboard, "global search" display the apps where the title is available, Emby must support this whether if it's for movies, music, etc. I count on your upvote for Emby developers to take this suggestion into account. Thanks.

Would like to have option to only sync on home network so that it doesn't kill my upload when I am away from home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello I setup a kodi windows client with embycon and embuary and it worked fine for a week. When I launch kodi now it askes for my login again for some reason. I checked the embycon settings its still in there. 2 seconds later I get the error "emby for kodi Library sync tread has exited" log file attached kodi.txt

In the web app, when displaying the Movies view, there is an option to display the year. But when grouping movies into collections in-line, entering a collection view, dates are NOT shown: and there is no option to display one... a bit of an inconsistency when exploring a movie library. Would either like to see the year displayed for collection components by default, or as a display option similar to the Movies view.

My transcoding drive didn't auto dump today. When it was full new streams could not start. Is this a known issue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Roku thumbnails plugin needs to allow for the user to choose which libraries they want to generate thumbnails for. On running the current task it's taken nearly 12 hours to complete 35%, I've found in the logs that there are a LOAD of errors when creating thumbnails for trailers (as in, the plugin, not my own). I've now uninstalled the trailers plugin. Also, one of my libraries contains a LOT of files in it which I don't need thumbnails for, and due to the quantity this takes a very long time to complete (it also slows the library scan down as thumbnails are created whenever a new file is found). Firstly, I'm fairly sure nobody wants or needs thumbnails creating for the trailers plugin, so this should be disabled anyway. For the other library of mine, for me there is simply no need for thumbnails, but with other users also I don't doubt there are many libraries out there that don't need thumbnails therefore it is wasted processing and storage.

Would it be possible to add another default landing screen for Genres to "Movies"?

If I want my users to download subittles, they need to have manage server permission. It would be nice to have a permission so they have edit subtitle option, just like allow media downloading enables download link. I have to give server management permission to every user if I want them to be able to download subtitles, because sometimes subtitle is offsync and I don't want that they have to ask me to download subtitles for them.

I see the transcoding log for interlaced to utilized yadif=0. Is there anyway to use yadif=1. This is a bob/weave de-interlace that produces MUCH better results. Any way to implement this or has it been tried? Devices like Roku can't deinterlace and the Bob/weave results are so much better than the standard deinterlace.

Hi. I found that the Client side (APPS) that I use (Android TV and Roku), they doesn't have the option to setting up the audio or the subs before play. This feature is present and working in the web/server side. It is very handy. If for some reason you don't have a receiver and your TV can handle stereo, or dolby, or dts, only. Avoiding the initial hang or freeze of the APP if the audio is multichannel and your TV is stereo is a good thing. However, It depends of your TV brand, some can handle ac3 (dolby 5.1), some DTS 5.1 and sometimes both, sometimes just one of those or only stereo. Since 7.1/2 and 9.1/2 are more popular and complex to transcode, one option is find and add an aditional audio track (for compatibility, if is available) and choose that other audio 5.1 to be transcoded on the fly. I don't know why this is happend (hang or freeze), some ffmpeg issues, maybe... (I don't know), but sometimes the APP leave the movie hanged or can't be played, and other times, for some unknown reason, the video can't be played, because the audio can't be transcoded. Anyway, nevermind if it just to avoid more complex audio to transcode but many times when you have 2 or 3 audio tracks available, and maybe two languages, if you can change the audio before play any content, is much better. I had to change the default audio many times in the server side before play some content, and then go to the device to can watch the video/movie/tv show without problems. This feature maybe, can give to the developers team, more clues to fight with some playback issues when the content needs to be transcoded, in this case, the audio. Anyway, if you can choose the audio or subs before play any content, it is a good thing. Thanks in advance. Regards.

Hiya team. You'll want to update the Twitter button/brand on the login screen for Emby Connect. See Twitter Brand Resources here.

Allow for the use of the use of the tvg-chno tag in the M3u file rather than just channel-id for channel numbering. The iptv-epg.com service which provides EPG guide service as well as M3U editing uses tvg-chno and not channel-id for their channel ordering/numbering. Granted, it's not that big of deal to point Emby at a modified copy of the M3u file with tvg-chno renamed to channel-id via search/replace but this would even eliminate that requirement. Maybe make the tag used for channel number selectable.

I'd like to request the ability for the user web interface to remember filters both after logout as well as navigating between pages. As it is now, if I filter my TV shows to Unwatched and I navigate to the home screen - as soon as I go back to TV shows, the filter has been cleared and I have to start the process all over. If there was a toggle to "remember filters" then everybody would be happy.

I can't seem to find anything relating to throttling transcoding / remux? Problem: 4K Transcoding / Remux - It uses a lot of space thus drives are filling up based on transcoding settings at the moment as Emby is transcoding the whole file, thus with a 4K remux / transcode this could be 60GB and multiple this if you have multiple users. Remuxing seems to cause problems event when its out remuxing audio / container as it will fill up the disk. Fix: Ability to throttle transcoding to be 5-10 minutes ahead of current time
