How does Emby handle transcoding, when hardware transcoding is selected, but the maximum hardware transcodes are met (i.e. Nvidia's 2 transcodes limit) Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Emby for Kodi send to have forgot my server Starts when I start Kodi but isn't populating any of my libraries Server info isn't showing in settings and doesn't seem to be remembering them when I enter them manually Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk

Right now I have a 2 hdhomerun prime cablecard tuners supplying tv content to my house. There is a chance we may be moving to a house where there is no cable offerings, only att fiber with u-verse or DirecTV for tv content. Are there any options out there to keep running my tv and recordings through my emby? I know I can get my basic cable channels from over the air but I would like a more complete option. I thought I heard that silicondust had an option if you had their tuners but have not found any information looking on their sight.

Would it be possible for the download feature to download the games to sub folders based on the game system?

after upgrading to the latest server release i lost about half of my live tv channel guide info. upon inspection i found that they were no longer mapped, i tried to remap them in the server dashboard but there still seems to be some issue as the setting does not have any affect. server is freenas if that makes any difference is this a known issue?

Had a lot of problems trying to download music to my phone running Android pie. After going over all that could possibly be wrong, reinstalling the app etc. What worked for me was go to "Apps & notifications", click "see all apps", then tap the option menu in the upper-right corner, select "Show system", select "download manager" from the applist, tap on "Storage", then clear both the cache and storage. After that you might need to readd what you want to download, but at least it will start downloading again. Turns out this isn't an Emby problem like I thought, it is an Android problem. Hopefully Google will fix this. Hope this may help others facing the same issue on Android. You may have to so this periodically as the issue comes back every now and then.

I have tried searching for this but actually couldn't find a definitive answer. The Android app, what devices can it cast to? Is it only a Chromecast? I was looking through the available uPnP/ DLNA profiles on the server and found one for Media Monkey. I have emby server installed on a Synology nas. Android app on my phone. Windows 10 pc with media monkey installed. Pc has a pair of bookshelf speakers connected, which are my main sound system. Ideally I would like to cast to the pc, therefore using the mobile app as a remote control, sound coming out of the bookshelf speakers. I've enabled the DLNA settings within media monkey & upon trying to cast from the Android app it detects media monkey as an available device. If I select a song it seems to start playing yet nothing is heard. Is this because it isn't supported? The casting icon stays green as though it has just been tapped. Almost as though a finger press is still applied to it. I could be attempting something that is not yet available, so would like to know before I carry on down this route. Any replies gratefully received, thanks. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Hey, I'm seeing a weird behavior since the last update of the Android app. Every time I edit the meta data of an entry the screen "jumps back up" while changing a field. So basically if I want to add a couple of tags after every tag I have to scroll back down to the tag field. This never happened before. I would be great if you could find the issue as it is really annoying. Thanks. Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A6013 mit Tapatalk

App version 3.0.59 A downloaded tv show episode from my "tvshows" library shows the delete option

Apparently my IP has been flagged and I can no longer create new users and invite them to my server. I emailed app@emby.media and recieved a quick response asking for more details but now they have gone dark for more than 24 hours. I am a paying premiere customer and need help and am NOT getting any. Sorry for the mini rant but I am hellu frustrated. Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk

If I make changes within Kodi to the BoxSets should they sync back to Emby? I added Lego Batman to the Lego collection using Kodi (even though it technically isn't part of it) and it did not sync back to Emby. Is there a setting I need to change to make this bidirectional or does it only sync down?

While I like the idea of having a list with everything, i think it's interfering with "non-season" folders. I usually store my "making-of" clips in an Extras folder, which now also displays the list of all shows. My Extras folders do not have metadata saying that it is "Season 0" but when I do add that data to it, the list simply becomes empty. I'm running server 4.2.0.40 on a Synology NAS with version 1.7.41g of the android app on a shield. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

It would be nice if there were an option to optimize media with a single click (or select an option to optimize a library or a folder). Optimization would transcode the existing media into the most efficient format (whatever Emby considers most efficient, such as H.264 or H.265) keeping the original settings (size, subtitles, languages). Plex kind of does it, but it's a pain to replace the original video with the optimized one (unless you want to keep additional copies, which wastes space). (Before anyone suggests using Handrake for this, yes, it's possible to do it outside of Emby, but it would be so much easier if this option were available.)

I think the multiple version grouping is still a bit on the fritz for the mixed content libraries. Basically all content that has two versions is shown twice, and in both i can see the two versions. It is really a full duplicate. I did erase the old library, full scan, and recreated it from scratch. Same result. I'm running 4.2.0.40 on a Synology NAS. Also, a related issue. When i recreated the mixed library, all the metadata got wiped and redownloaded, even though my nfo files were present and locked. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

Hello. I noticed that the track title display is a bit odd. I included a picture to explain. My track is named "English - Stereo" And i get "English English - Stereo" Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

is it expected behavior that selecting to download forced only subtitles they are not appended with the .forced extension and therefore will overwrite regular subtitles with the same extension if they exist?

Hi Im using a low powered android ARM device with Kodi Leia and Emby for Kodi addon. The device (like most low powered android devices) has a decent x264 decoder and can natively play up to 4K x264 content with the in built hardware decoding. But sadly when you try and play even SD XVID files, the video jitters/stutters. This is because very few vendors have proper hardware acceleration of xvid on low powered android devices, and even if the device falls back to ffmpeg software decoding, the video still stutters. Low powered arm devices just struggle with xvid content, even with if it's SD. But if you convert that same SD content to x264, then the video plays back fine! Is there anyway to tell emby server to force transcode xvid (or divx) to x264 when playing xvid/divx content through kodi for Emby? I can see lots of options to force transcode 10bit content to x264, can the same please be added for xvid and divx content? Or can someone please explain another way i can force transcode xvid/divx videos on the fly to x264? I also don't want to lower the quality scale to some poor lower than sd quality just to trick the server to transcode. Really Need a dedicated setting to always force transcode xvid content. For the reasons explained above. Cheers

Win7 Server 4.1.1.0 AndroidTV Beta 1.7.33g AndroidTV Log Sent just now. User TVTime Server logs forthcoming. All I get is a spinner and my HDHomeRun GUI shows several attempts to tune with disconnects. Trying to play or record Local LiveTV. It works on my other machine running the beta server BTW.

According to https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Dev-channel-build-77-0-211-2-is-live/m-p/745801#M6548 Microsoft's Chromium-based Edge browser, now supports HEVC decoding. This should allow it to direct play if support is added.

I will preface this with i do not know how much of a difference this would make. I am thinking that if there was support for mpeg2 hardware accelerated decoding via mmal that it might make for smoother live tv watching for the rpi. I am thinking that with hardware accelerated support for mp4's and mpeg2 that it might make the rpi into quite the media server. I can furnish access to my rpi if you do not already have one for testing with a mpeg2 license installed.

I know this might be tricky but when you access a series in the web app the season count is always off by 1. I haven't checked the other apps but i guess that might be the same in there. Example: Seinfeld is a 9 season show, but my season count is 10, because i have an "extras" season where i put all the behind the scenes stuff... Maybe the count could be just for folders naned "Season" and not something else? Or have a metadata field on season level to "exclude from season count"? Either would work i guess, but the second option would be best as not all my series have "Season" as the name if the folder... Sometimes it's "Series" or in french "Saison". Anyways... that would be a nice tweak Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

Greetings, I just updated to the latest version of Emby for Kodi this morning. Now, when I click on the All movies menu option (I'm using the Embuary skin) and my movies start to load, Kodi crashes after a few seconds of loading. This didn't occur with the prior stable version of Emby for Kodi. I'm away from home right now so can't upload a log, but I'll try to later tonight. For now, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this after updating to the new version of Emby for Kodi. Thanks! Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I just discovered the intro videos in the Fan Art & Videos section of the forums, but when I set up Cinema Mode to use them I found myself irked by the interface overlaying the intro video. Can you please make an option to hide the playback interface when media is started?

I am using ActionTiles on an iPad and I was looking for put a link to emby in my tile. I would rather use the app and not the webpage. Can you add a url scheme to the app? It should be something like this just so another app can call it.. emby://
