hi, I'm using xonfluence but I think this might be an issue that affects other people. I did look up this issue and the only thing I found was not applying to this situation. so if I go to Video Addons > Emby > Movies > Recently Added Movies, for whatever reason every time I watch something and the "Watched" flag is set it removes it from the list. I can go into the web client and toggle the watched and I can see it keep getting added and removed from that list. in my web display settings its set NOT to hide watched items from Recently added, but as far as I can tell it's something happening in the addon not my skin as if I move to the folder settings "hide watched" is unchecked and checking it does nothing. i guess what i could do is setup a custom playlist, but it seems like that's something that's not supposed to be happening. EDIT: its also happening for TV Shows episodes as well, when i do even the widgets the ones set to plugin://plugin.video.emby/?id={LibraryName}&mode=recentepisodes&limit=25 i think this might be a server thing since i dont think this was happening before the latest update, but i cant be sure.

well i am a newbie for; both for kodi and emby; couple of weeks for most.. in fact; trying to learn how this set up works.. i got 3 emby servers 2 at different isps and one at home.. and 2 kodi connected to emby as ADDON of course with different profiles... one is emby premiere.paid-the one at home.. not the other ones..! . i have decided; as result my inspection.. a-emby is the best library tool of best of any type of scraping... at this sense. kodi sucks what can i say; youre the best.. b-i choose to use kodi as a playback device..since emby theater is not mature enough! AND kodi rulesss..without a payment for each server..or playback device.. tha it have to buy premiere for each server.... ! it is a little bit unfair.. the problem is that; when it is a movie .no problem..! but when iti is MUSİC: and i am using EMBY music database enabled at KODİ.. when it is mp3 or flac.. no REMOTE control works when i DO choose kodi.. as a PLAYER and ADDon.. but when i choose DLNA ..the same PC and the same KODİ İT works just fine..! WHY..!? regards!

Please remove auto-organize from Emby Server and have it as a plugin, this way users who want this feature can choose to have it.

I'm accesing the folder thru inputs and notices when accessing the emby folder, than the movies folder. Once accessing the list it will reboot the tv, it switches off and back on. My second lg smart tv works fine, what could be the issues that causing the other lg to reboot?

As the Topic Title states, it would be a nice addition if Recordings that are currently in-progress would be displayed in the Dashboard view. I have killed a few Recordings by restarting the Server without realizing that recording activity was happening at the time. It would be nice if under ACTIVE DEVICES in the dashboard view that there was an ACTIVE RECORDINGS section.

I have signed up but it not letting me go any further when I press the blue box with select sever on top can someone help Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My system setup is in my signature. When playing music through Kodi the artist fanart and song have always shown in the "Active Devices" box on the server. Today I realized this was no longer the case. Tonight, when I played music in Kodi, nothing showed up in the "Active Devices" box. Kodi showed as connected and any video I played, showed in the box. The last proof (cross-referencing with Last.FM and Emby Recently Played) of it working is from Jun 23. Since that date, I was out of the house for a week (not using Kodi) and when I returned I updated to Kodi 17.3 (from 16.1). I cannot remember if I played music through Kodi prior to the 17.3 update or not. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Whenever you select option from the main menu, the web client defaults to the first tab ie under movie it goes to suggested...under TV and channels it goes to latest etc Can each one remember which tab was selected so that if I have shows selected under TV and I go to movies and back to TV it will still have the shows tab selected rather than going back to latest? I hope you understand what I mean?

If there haven't been any changes, the scan should do virtually nothing so, unless your entire library is undergoing lots of changes all the time, then this shouldn't have much effect. Once everything has been scanned in and properly analyzed the first time, subsequent scans should be pretty insignificant.

I don't know how many other people would care much about this. However i would love an option to convert recordings seamlessly through the interface. For example i record The Big Bang Theory. I know it can be converted on the fly but i use a pi as my emby server and without the hardware acceleration for mpeg2 working properly converting on the fly is cpu intensive. What i am thinking about is an option in the interface on the server side under live tv --> settings having more check boxes. one for convert on schedule and one for delete original ( the .ts file) Then of course another option under scheduled tasks to convert live tv recordings. It would be very nice if this all also happened right in the directories the shows are first recorded in. If you wanted to keep this as a premium feature i could easily understand since converting on the fly is a premium feature. As always this is just my opinion.

On vacation in Key West FL and my family is still able to watch our movies and shows. thank you Emby!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Lads, If I'm reading ebr's reply to my original thread correctly, it sounds as though this is an issue - already known or not, I'm not sure? Either way, if someone could lend a hand that would be greatly appreciated As the Topic Title suggests, I'm not getting any joy from thumbnails for my Home Movie and Music Video collections (see image below). I thought it might be because I had just lumped all the files into the one folder all together, but then I did go and place all the individual files into respective folders named after the file (I'm sure I read to do that somewhere in the wiki but cannot find it now!?), but still no joy. I've completed multiple library refreshes and still no go. Azeos had this to add as well: Any words of advice? If you need me to supply any log files or extra information, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Kind regards, Dodgy Bob.

It would be good to be able to choose a default metadata language for each media library rather than a system wide default. I for example keep my Icelandic movies in a seperate library from English movies, I would like to keep the English movies with their original English titles and I would like to keep my Icelandic movies with their original Icelandic titles. So far I've been manually editing the Icelandic movies to get the Icelandic titles from them.

@@Luke, as posted in https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/28528-how-can-you-tell-if-quicksync-is-working/?p=275763 , this is an important feature, even more now that more and more users have HW that can be used to accelerate encoding and decoding. Can this please be done now? I've recently bought new hardware and I'm not sure if my hw acceleration settings are actually working. Possibly no, because of the CPU usage I see.

I want them grouped, other users don't. Push the feature down a level and make everyone happy. Thanks

Issue description: It's back The Screen goes up, when you scroll up and down in menues after a movie is watched Steps to reproduce: 1. Start app, go in menu or e.g. Movie Details Screen and switch between items -> no Screen movement 2. Start a movie, stop it, go in menu or e.g. Movie Details Screen and switch between items -> Screen moves up and down I recognized that it cannot be reproduced every time. I don't know if it depends on the video being played. My TV/HTS/BD Player model number: UE55H6270 My firmware version: 2800 Other TVs etc. the issue has been reproduced on: cannot test on another device My Emby server version: Dev 3.0.5888.970 My current Emby Samsung client version: 2.1.0f Supporting information to include logs and pictures where applicable: screenshot

It would be great to have an additional option under Live TV to remux to mkv (or mp4) rather than a full transcode. The full transcode to h264 takes a lot of cpu but a simple remux to another container doesn't. I bring this up because my whole reason for transcoding was because I now use the Shield device and Emby App exclusively to watch all my recorded TV and everything else. The App handles the mkv format very well even if it's not encoded to h264. However, if I leave the recording in the native ts container it really doesn't like it. Even the Kodi App reacts differently to it. As an example of what difference I see, trying to skip commercials when the container it ts causes the audio to go out of sync sometimes or the timeline will skip to the end and thereafter you can't skip fwd anymore. None of this happens in the mkv container. I think it's just more compatible with the Shield device or something. Anyway, the Plex DVR gives this option and it works pretty good and doesn't require the CPU usage. Thanks.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before and I didnt know what to search for in the bar, but, how do i connect kodi emby via ip address? when I load the addon into kodi and attempt to configure, I get to a step asking for an SSL certificate. Im not running HTTPS on my network and all of the other apps can sign in via IP address. Am I using the wrong version of the app or something?

Hi, I have tested Kodi on windows and Android, both places the watched flag is very often set when starting the movie. I have spent very much time looking into the plugin, but have not been able to figure out the issue. Is there any flow documentation etc?. I have included the kodi log file, it is take from appox. when the unwatched movie is started and when it is still playing. After play start, the movie is immediately updated on server to watched. On line 415 in the log I can see an UserDataChanged event is sent with played true. (And the movie is still playing, and only very few seconds into it) Any change anyone can help bring some light on this issue? kodi.log server.log

Hi, I opened a pull request for the Kodi addon repository, but it's been inactive for a while. Is there somewhere else I should be submitting patches? https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/pull/76

So I've just recently set this up and have run into two issues. I am using the server side plugin and media is being added properly when Emby picks it up however if I remove media (recently removed ~50 movies) they hang around in Kodi despite disappearing in Emby, even a manual sync didn't help (I'm putting off doing a full reset) and if new media is added that forms (or is added to) a new set it sits split up into separate movies in Kodi until i do a manual sync which does group them. Is there something I can do?

hello please let the server generate events for boxsets so the fast startup sync plugin for Kodi can update them without a manual sync.

It probably is a setting in Emby addon for Kodi but I think I missed it or didn't understand the purpose of it. What happens is that when new media is added to Emby Server and your Kodi system is hibernated and wakes up from that the library isn't synced with new media unless done manual. When box is online/active, like a RPi I have running 24/7, the new media is there almost instantly. My systems all running latest LibreELEC beta's (Kodi17) and latest Emby addons. Server is running on Synology and is also latest available. Any ideas?

Hey folks, Not sure if this is just me or not - better to be safe than sorry though! - so I'm popping it up as a "BUG". If it is just me, let me know and I'll change the topic title if I can or request that it can be. Anyhow, yeah, short story, I have a bunch of debates and YouTube clips and sermons, all as videos and MP3s grouped together in their own folder which I have setup to show within 'Media Folders' only. Problem is, Emby for Samsung App pulls all of the video files from there into movies. Under "Settings > Home Screen Settings" for the user account I use to login to Emby for Samsung App with, only 'Movies' and 'TV' are selected under "My Views". The mixed content folder is not selected here. Is there another setting I need to un/check somewhere also? Thanks for your help, Dodgy Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Issue description: - Videos that have not been marked to be grouped as "Movies" or "TV" are being grouped as videos Steps to reproduce: - Sorry, cannot reproduce, as I only have one TV in the house and this issue only shows up here My TV/HTS/BD Player model number: - TV = UA55HU8500W (Emby for Samsung App installed here) - HTS = HT-H7750WM (Emby for Samsung App is not and will not install here - haven't tried recently though!)

Those of you already sailing this ship, when it comes to Emby, are either loving the hands on and somewhat technical commitment it currently requires or are a little frustrated and pulling your hair out. Emby itself is of course a brilliant media platform - or we wouldn't be here, so we need to lower the entry bar and make installing and updating a simple point and click experience via the DSM UI. Development is already underway as well as looking at the best approach for packaging and handling depdencies; I'll post more as we go along. However, for now you can really help by answering the following two questions:- 1) Are you currently running Emby on Synology? If yes, which Synology platform are you using? 2) Would you be willing to test development packages? (these will install in parallel and not touch or interfer with the existing installation) Best - James
