It'll be nice to add a control option to limit users from 1-5 devices, to make sure that users aren't watching from multi devices the same network and same time. thanks. MK

Not sure if this is a feature request or assistance in setting up server. If it is possible, please point me in the right direction. Here is the situation: The local cable/ISP has decided that CAPS are a great way of making a little more money to cover the losses from streaming services. So, I now have limits on the amount of data I can stream without getting into massive bills on a monthly basis. So I have set up one server with all of my captured/stored media (DVD's, etc.). It is on one ISP connection with a data cap. I would like to set-up a second server for access to Cable TV on a different ISP connection to balance the load. Streaming of live (cable) tends to suck up data fairly quickly. I typically stream to a vacation home. With more and more time being spent there, the data used is getting close to the CAP limits. For integration purposes, is it possible to merge the two servers into one screen on different players (Roku, Android, etc.) so that the experience is seamless? I know I can have different Servers on the Log-in screen, but was hoping to pull it all together as one. Thanks for any assistance. If not something that can be done now, please add this as a feature request. TIA!!!

Hi Guys, Would it be possible to add "Edit Info" when editing multiple items at once? I appreciate that not all data points would match, but even if Emby could only display those that do match, it would be a tremendous help. When it comes to editing movie collections, it's a huge pain after running the collections plugin again, as it breaks my custom collections unless I remove the TheMovieDB collection ID from Edit Info, for each movie, and then Lock the item. Goal usage for me would be: Mass "Edit Info" for movies in a collection -> Remove Collection ID -> Lock Items -> Save

Could you consider adding the option to share a playlist across specific or all users when it is created? Possibly a button, or even within the settings? Editing the xml for every playlist works, but I would enjoy the convenience of having this as an option. Thank you.

I like to have my server available externally, don't want anyone to be able to login/see my users. I already have set up so users internally do not have to use their password, but I am wanting a way to have users visible only internally. Each user could have a three option toggle titled "Manual Login" with the options "Always", "Never", and "External Only". This way I could hide users that will never stream in home, but make it easy for my in-home Fire TV or Roku users to just select their name and sign in.

as a fail safe measure in (direct paths) to libraries if we deleted something (may be by mistake) the deleted content go to recycle bin not deleted totally , this could be option in setting and on by default

Hello there, Under Movies only 100 movies are displayed on a page. I'd like to change this to more , 500 or infinity. Thanks! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Hi, Just as the title says - it would be great to have an option in the parental controls to only include content with a particular (or set) of tags. Thanks! -Jason

Hi, I've seen this topic pop out few times, Is there a way to provide folder browsing for dlna same as via webapp folder structure browsing? Basicly when I have a structure like this - Movies ---Directory 1 -- movies here... ---Directory 2 -- movies here... ---Directory 3 -- movies here... --- lots of other movies here... The directores will show up in webUI properly when browsing via "folders" - but DLNA will not show subfolders - evereything will be stacked together on same level - Is there a config file option i need to touch to enable this functionality - every other dlna server that I used has this feature, it is especially useful for music albums, or multiple tv series browsing. I'm using Version 3.2.33.0 under Ubuntu 16.04.

Emby already has filters build in to sort through your media but what would be even better would be allowing the user to save filters and have an easy way of selecting that view. For example I might want a view showing all comedies released from 1990-1999, all unwatched movies rated G from 2017, favorite action movies, etc. Let us save these filtered views and have them easily accessible from the landing page. If the filtered views can be shared between users even better.

Dear Support, I have a minor but very annoying duplicate in my music for artist and album artist. This duplicate only exists within Emby and in all applications like server web, ipad, and emby for windows. The duplicate doesn't exist in plex, itunes or indeed Emby's metadata manager. The content of the two a-ha's below is the same. I can play all albums in each. The only difference is the path on one is appdata and not the media itself. The image is also different as you can see. I have tried to delete the appdata entry but it re-appears. No amount of sync or clean has worked. I have also tried to rename the A-Ha entry as I think this is the one that is wrong. All other items in my library are pointing to the media and not appdata. Thank you, Russ.

Hi, I will like to know if in future updates you guys could add this feature "password for a specific folder" I have one folder with wallpapers: nature, cars, but also adult one.. so... will be nice to have a password. So everyone will see the general folder "wallpapers" and access to all sub-folders (cars , nature etc. , except "Adult" folder where you need a password.) Regards, Spirit

Hello, i just installed Emby Server 3.2.26.0-1 on my Synology DiskStation. As i wanted to start the Server i became the answer "The package task could not be executed". So the Server is still down. Can somebody help? cheers, Denis

Hi there, we love emby a lot. It works fine in our Mixed Win 10, Android and iOS environment. Today my little child ask me to take his most favourite radio play with my iPhone so could listen it again in the car. I found some basic sync options but none of them working with an up-to-date iOS. So an implementation of this feature would be great.

Hello, I wanted to know and or request a feature for the Metadata-Manager. E.g. I am editing with easyTag my audio files and especially for the Genre to group them better in Emby itself. Especially for Audiobooks. Sometimes the updates are not noticed by Emby even when I trigger a re-scan of the library. The old values for the genre simply stick. And I'd like to be able to mass change a field also with Emby. For example changing the genre for everything which is SciFi to Science Ficton. Do I currently miss something about how to update? Do I trigger it wrong? Furthermore if I'd like to be able to change some tags for the album and Emby should apply this recursively to the files within the album. Right now it is totally independent. Greetings.

It would be really nice if there were more granular permissions per user. Right now you can only give a user broad delete permissions. I don't want users deleting anything except for TV Recordings (and ideally only ones that they owned or recorded unless the user had admin delete permissions or something). Right now I have only an admin account that is used to delete media and have to periodically go through and clean out recorded TV because users can't delete themselves.

Hi, just came across the fact that it's possible to login (and stream) multiple times with the same account!? I see the need for a feature that helps to control / prevent this. The thought that somebody may give away his/her logindata to somebody else and then multiple users login and stream at the same time with the same account does not feel good at all. It would be nice to have the oppurtunity to control this via management > users. Maybe to allow/disallow certain accounts the multi-login and/or multi-stream. Would that be possible? Is that a feature you (like myself) would consider a must-have? thanks Soki

I have my library set up so Emby scans my 2D and 3D versions of a particular movie in as multiple versions. When I was on Plex, I did the same thing. On the Plex side, when you hit "play", the PlexKodiConnect add-on presents you with a version chooser pop up allowing you to choose which version to play. In Emby for Kodi its just chooses the "best" version automatically. Would it be possible to implement this feature in Emby for Kodi considering both add-ons were born from the same source (yours)?

I'd like to propose that, more than just asking if we want to make an user X visible or invisible, that we can tell apart from what connection (Internal vs External) it is hidden or not. Real case: from within my internal network, I don't mind showing my users , but when I (and the whole Internet) can see which users I have simply by typing my external address, then I start worrying. So...basically make that "Hide this user from login screens" be divided in "Hide this user from login screens via internal network" and "Hide this user from login screens via external network"

In the admin dashboard, playback, streaming... The only setting is the WAN bitrate question. Could this setting move to the access tab inside the user settings? Or maybe let this be a default, but allow user-specific settings to override this? I understand that my users can specify their own maximum bitrates, but there is no way for me as an admin to set individual bitrate caps.

I did a search for this, but could't find what I was looking for. What about a way to watch a movie with a user at the same time? I believe the Xbox has something like this. Where you can watch a movie with a buddy who is in a different location. What if you could do that with one of our users? Maybe a friend moved away, and you add them to your server and you want to watch a movie with them. It would be cool if there were a way to have that synchronized through the server. So you can watch with someone who is somewhere else.

Sometimes I want to only update my Series one every 3 hours and the Music DB every 3 days. Currently there is no way to select a library and scan it. At the moment because I have 100Gb of Music, 1.1TB of Movies & 5TB of Series it takes around 45 mins to do a full scan. If I remove the Music it goes down to 11mins.

It would be very cool to have a feature where users can comment on some series, or episodes, or movies, so other users can know their reviews or thoughts. Sent from my ASUS_Z017DA using Tapatalk

At the moment if you apply a filter to the movies view (example: show only unwatched content) you get a list of every single item you havnt seen whether it was in a collection or not. It would be nice to have an option to not expand collections and apply filters to the whole collection instead. With that example if anything in the collection was unwatched then display the collection, but if you have seen everything in it then hide it. I want to hide everything I have seen, but I have a few larger collections that make the list longer than it was without the filter.

I was thinking it might be convenient to add the size of how much space an individual media item and/or media folder/group is taking up. Exs. -Random Movie 1 is taking up 9.5 GBs -Random Show Season 1 Ep 1 is taking up 6.3 GBs -Random Show (Seasons x - x) is taking up 107.6 GBs This could go at the very bottom of the info section like after the "Path" info sub-section. Just a thought though, it might be better or more streamlined ways to implement this.
