Hi, I recently got the Live TV function working. The service I am using allows 5 simultaneous streams. But I have a few dozen users on my service. I was wondering if there was anyway to have the M3U playlists be assigned per user. The idea is that I can register 10 accounts on the IPTV service which would give me 50 streams. And I can use each M3U playlist for say 4 users and leave one slot available per playlist. I'm hoping this is something doable. Looking forward to a reply. Thanks. Puff

When creating a New User, I wish the Allow Media Deletion boxes were all unchecked by default. I feel like allowing someone to delete media from the server should be a permission granted, not an assumed right. IMO.

Hi there, i asked myself if it would be possible to add some more Tokens to the New added content notifications. Maybe year, genre and themoviedb link. For now there is only the Token {Name} available.

OK, as the topic states, I'd love to be able to see the file size in the Media Info details section. It already has all the geeky info I love, but I'd really like to see the file size as well. Just add it in to the bottom after the container or where ever you want. Thanks for considering. J

I'd like to suggest the option to delay recording 'The Today Show' for 30 minutes and end 60 minutes early. It records from 4:30am-8am in the guide, but the important part is 5AM-8AM. I'd use a script to handle this by hardcoding the time to trim in the beginning and end of the file, but the file is still in use while Emby is recording. This would then allow negative numbers in the GUI series or episode recording padding.

I know there's command line inputs for this but can it be a native Emby feature, right in the DVR Settings?

I'm not sure how this is done but can Emby Grab Extras from the internet in addition to trailers?

I think many users would appreciate the ability to download subtitles from opensubtitles on the fly when watching content from a clien from a server you aren't admin in. That would be a feature which would set Emby apart from its competitors I think. An example of this is Kodi where you can download subtitles when streaming content.

It could be nice to have a way to configure a Default User, so that every new user created just copy the default user configuration. That is useful for when a new user is added you don't want to have the hassle of changing library access and server permissions every time, i like to even setup the home screen and playback preferences given that very few of my users have the interest or the dexterity to do by themselves. This way you could setup the defaults in what every new user will be configured.

It would be great to have full support of m3u playlists so that external playlist can be easily imported and modified through Emby. It would be a much stronger music server! Plex doesn't do that, so it would be a point in favour of Emby too

Hello @Luke, I use the legal paid IPTV provider at USTVNow. While it doesn't have a native M3U/XMLTV, I have a small python server that creates a M3U and XMLTV using this code: https://github.com/c...vnow-m3u-server My issue is the guide data shown in Emby is 3 hours behind for my timezone (it's in guide is EST, I'm in PST). Could you, in the roadmap to media nirvana, provide a time offset (in hours, +/-) for the XML TV provider? PS - You can create a free account, but it will be limited to basic cable (NBC, etc). Happy to share my credentials with you to test all the channels. PSS - Where is the donation site for emby features? I'd really love USTVNow to become a maintained plugin (and skip the Python server).

It would be a great added feature for IPTV M3U subscribers to be able to filter channels in the live tv guide (and channels menu) based on the 'group-title' tag in the M3U file. Favorites first is a great feature, but it falls short when your favorites list includes most of the channels from a particular region (or multiple regions) consisting of 100s of channels which are all favorited in order to get them to the top of the list above the sports listings, or foreign language channels. Most IPTV services use the 'group-title' tag for sorting their channels in STB Emu, Kodi, or Perfect Player apps, and so they bother less with ordering them sensibly in the m3u file itself since they can be filtered by group. Without the group filter, you often end up having to search through many pages of channels to get to the group you want which is time consuming. The only other alternative is to manually edit the m3u file, removing the groups you don't want, but that also means that the list won't automatically update for new content or changes, and the manual editing must be done again. This is particularly annoying with IPTV providers that include their entire VOD catalog in the same m3u, because there's no way to filter that out without using the group-title tag. Ideally, I'd love to see a dropdown menu in the filter section with a checkbox list of all the groups that can be selected or deselected, then saved permanently. Thanks for all the work you've put into emby so far.. it's a great server that I'm really enjoying using and its the one thing I've found that's compatible across all my various devices and platforms with very few headaches. The DVR works great!

It would be great if there was an automatic popup asking to delete a movie or TV episode after watching it through at least 90%. This could be a toggle setting for each user in their dashboard, therefore a personal preference. Only users with the Delete function granted to them would have this toggle in their settings (or it could be grayed out).

Would it be possible to incorporate volume leveling across episodes. We frequently put kid shows on shuffle for the little ones... depending on the episode the volume is extreme... to too quiet... especially annoying on short shows like Peppa Pig. I know alot is determined by the source file, but wondering if anything can be done.

Sorry if this has been requested before. Its a tough search to sort out. I'd love to add, for example, a few TV series like Star Trek into a playlist. Then, have that playlist randomize (one time at creation is fine, but each time it is viewed would be fine as well [re-randomize]). I'd also like it to not show episodes previously watched. Essentially a Star Trek channel that shows random episodes but never the same one twice. Anyway................ Thanks! J

For some shows, i don't care to keep episodes after I've watched them. it would be great to have an 'automatic delete' option within each show. Perhaps with a further option of waiting 1-14 days before removal. Some shows I want to keep (one example is Legion). Some I do not (for example, Forged in Fire). Having the option to have this handled automatically would be great.

Hey there! Many titles, especially non-English language titles on TVDB, are discoverable by more than one name. Often a transliterated title from the original language and in addition, a translation of the title exist. A specific example: the animated series Yuru Camp is discoverable on TVDB by searching either "Yuru Camp" or "Laid-back Camp". However, in Emby, despite it scraping info from TVDB, searching Yuru Camp does not bring up any results. If possible could it be made to enable finding titles with multiple names as such? -sincerely, Mei

I would love the ability to tweak the displayed content of the spotlight tile in Emby Theater. Currently it just displays random items from the given library. I would find it actually useful if it could say be configured to display the top 20 most recently added, unwatched items.

Be able to add movie sets to other movie sets. Example is I have sets for Spider-man, X-men, Marvel, DC and would like to add all sets to a Superhero set. Even better would be the ability to add a 3rd level of sets. Say that was if I open the Superhero set I can select the Marvel set and be able to select Ironman set then the movie Ironman 3.

When I go to play an album on my phone, it gets pretty jittering since it's streaming it, without much of a buffer. It also doesn't buffer/sync ahead, so this makes it very internet-sensitive. I would really love it, if that when I play an album it syncs the whole album, or whole "scope" of what I told it to play. Syncs it to the phone. This way as my internet fluctuates, it buffers a-head. If there is some way we can set (on the client/phone) how far a-head it syncs based on Wifi/Cellular I think that would be rad too. Say X number of songs if you're on Cellular, Y if you're on wifi (with the option for unlimited for either). As for other forms of multimedia, this may be helpful, but I'm not 100% sure how that would translate to video content... Thoughts?

Hi, I just helped a friend get up and running on Emby and he is now a premier account holder (do i get a referral bonus? ) Anyway, we linked our Emby instances and going between local server accounts on my Emby (i have four local users) and Connect to reach his server (I have one guest account on his instance) is rather cumbersome. I use Android TV for the most part. He uses Apple TV. As it is right now, I have login to Connect (using a unique PIN) each time I want to access his server content. And then logout of Connect each time one of the other users in the house wants to watch something locally. Anyway to streamline this process? Ideally it would be great if i can import his library into my own and just stream from his server if I select to watch content from his instance. Alternatively, making it easier to switch servers without having to login to Connect every time (using a PIN each time) would be fine too.

Is there something I need to do related to the fail related to mono? server Log.txt

Title says it all.. Right now you can filter by Video Types: Bluray, DVD, ISO, HD, SD, 3D. Can we add 4K?

Can we split this existing option into 2? I would like to be able to hide users from the login screen when the server is accessed remotely but would REALLY like to be able to switch between users with ease while I am internal to my servers network.

... when server is recording / livetv streaming or a user is playing something. would this be possible? andy.
