Is it possible to add the functionality to stretch content that has a ratio of 4:3 for playing back on wide screens? Kodi has the option built in to do this and its very helpful

I did a check could not find a similar thread sorry if I have missed it. I keep waiting for the return of zoom when playing my videos, It use to be a function but got taken out sometime ago and has never returned. Any chance it will be coming back. Hate not using nearly a third of my big screen TV seems a waste really!!??

Back when I could still get WMC working I could choose different zoom modes to make letter box movies fill my ultra wide monitor. Without this feature letterbox movies end up running in a little box with black space on all 4 sides. Please give me a zoom feature, possibly even have it remember per movie so so it stays the same. I would gladly purchase this product if it had this feature

You should add the function to stretch an 4:3 image to 16:9 so I do not have black bars. I would also like it to crop my 16:9 files so I don't need to watch my 16:9 movies with the black bar on the top and bottom

Hi: I'd like the ability to show up to 4 streams simultaneously on my TV. Like this:

Hello So when I am watching something on emby tv app the subtitles are way too low. So can you make a future where I can change the position of the subtitles. Not like: Top Middle Bottom Like literally with your mouse or something. Or write a number to config the height.

This cast and crew is brilliant and I like it, often I come across actors I like and get other stuff they are in, would it be possible to extend the reach so it shows shows/movies you DONT have as opposed to what they are in that is in your library? Thanks

It'd be nice to be able to globally disable 'my media' and/or 'my media' images for all users.

You should add more subtitle sources like Subscene and yiffy

I really don't like the default layout that emby comes up with for the home screen (ie layout) and reconfigure this. I then end up doing this on all devices / users. Could we get the option to set a global default layout / homescreen setup that is applied to all users / devices they log in on? The option for them to change as they like can still be there (however I find very few if any do actually change it)

Any chance we can get the channel title shown in the tv guide when there is no guide data for that channel? Reason being some IPTV suppliers name their channels for that day to say what is on them... Would be nice to see that in the grid area. guess this would work for VOD stuff too right? That might be useful for others.

I love the "Night at the Movies" option that older WB dvds had, where they played a vintage news reel/documentary/short film/cartoon before the feature. With all the short films, docs, and cartoons in my collection, I'd love to be able to replicate that experience. Would it be possible to have an option in Cinema mode to play 2 films of X (adjustable) length before the selected feature?

I know the server can generate thumbnail images for tv series, but I prefer to have the setting turned off, after a few dark scene / black screens as thumbs. The feature is obviously great when it works, what I was hoping for was a way to use it manually from within 'edit images' That way if the provider doesn't have something available after a period I can manually generate, but don't have to have the setting turned on all the time. Perhaps just allow the user to scrub through the episode and select a thumb that way? Hope that makes sense

Could we have a link or section added to movies that are part of a collection, that allows you to navigate either directly to other movie's in the collection or to the collection itself. Perhaps the latter would be required to accommodate for movies that are part of multiple collections

Would be neat to upload a video to a library remotely. Say you log in from phone or computer.

I couldn't see any direct entries for this request but did see one or two that might be related. Now that Channels DVR has TV Everywhere login capability for third party streaming and ISP providers. Is this something possible for Emby? Silicon Dust hasn't seemed enthusiastic about taking it on. Maybe you guys could consider. Just asking/suggesting.

Suggestions: 1- Register user with expiration date and access number. 2- The library can communicate with other servers (ip), with the possibility of storing the content of movies, among other contents, in several distinct ips.

I've seen similar posts before, but they mainly have to do with the auto-selection of movie versions where the resolution is the primary difference. I use multiple versions for such things as extended versions, director's cuts, various edits and so on. The multiple version feature could use several improvements in this regard. 1. The ability to select the DEFAULT version. For instance if I feel the Director's Cut is the definitive version, I would like to set that version as a default which will come up on the clients as the first or default selection. In other cases, it might be the Theatrical. Some movies have several versions like Dawn of the Dead or The Wicker Man. It would be great to assign a number preference to order these. 2. I would like to see the display of the Run Time and Ends At dynamically change to reflect the currently selected version. One version can be much longer and I would like to see those times reflected in the display. Thanks. P.S. Thanks for allowing us to use embedded track titles again in the display. I spent a lot of time curating these and marking commentary tracks, etc. So it is great to be able to display that now.

Hi, I didn't see any other request with this. My feature request would be to allow transcoding on a per library basis. Such as, being able to turn off transcoding in 4k libraries but leave it on for other libraries.

Is there a way (maybe in the future) to force the THUMB images as standard for all users? At this time a user can set it himself but standard it always PRIMAY. I don't mind a user to change this but I would like the option to set the standard to THUMB. Thanks for your reply. PS. I'm using Emby server on a Synology NAS.

You should add a prompt after 3 episodes that can be enabled where it asks are you still watching so it doesn't get too far ahead when watching a series when you fall asleep no matter what you watch on web or app

I have about 40,000 songs within Google Play Music and wish I could organize them. It would be very interesting to do this without having to download these songs. Would it be possible to integrate so that Emby would update the google music metadata? Also, it would be very interesting to be able to play these songs directly on Emby without having to download them as they consume a lot of space on the HD. You should think of more such integrations without having to have the files on the hard drive. This would work very well with videos, IPTV, etc ... I would no longer need to download multiple apps on my phone, just Emby and just configure the server. I have about 40,000 songs within Google Play Music and wish I could organize them.

I see that this has been requested before, but those topics are locked. Not sure how I am supposed to show my support for a feature request if the threads are locked. This was always handy with WMC, when I open my server I am often curious if a recording is running so I can do things like reboot, or run a sync with snapraid. Would be nice to see this feature added.
