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.

On Dashboard under Active Devices I can see who is watching what, but sometimes I forget there is an active recording, would be nice to see that activity in the dashboard as well. As far as I know, this doesn't currently happen.

I have multiple spare servers that I would love to put to use with my current Emby server. I thought it would be cool to be able to spread the load of transcoding and other emby tasks. I think it would also be great if there were some HA component built in. Something like failover clustering could be used to make the Emby service part of a cluster and when the primary node goes offline, the service is failed over to the secondary cluster node. This way Emby stays online for users while maintenance is performed on the offline server.

Currently if you wish to download music you need to download each track individually. It would be nice if there was the option to download the entire album with one click. Maybe by combining all tracks into a ZIP archive then downloading that.

Hi, I'm Brazilian, first of all, I apologize for my English, because it's not the best, because I'm using a translator. Well, my suggestion to Emby, it would be quite interesting to watch with friends. Feature for two distant friends watching the movies synchronously by PC This LetsGaze site is a good example to better clarify my suggestion https://letsgaze.com/#/ Hi, I'm Brazilian, first of all, I apologize for my English, because it's not the best, because I'm using a translator.

I think it would be nice to set an expiration date or time limit on things that can be resumed.

I have some Library's that I want to scan often and others that do not change much at all. I would like to have the Scan Library Task changes to be per Library or even per Folder so that I can customize the Scans to suit the Library. This is required as Real Time Monitoring does not seem to work with Object Based File Systems like StorNext for example

I did a search because I was sure that this request had already been made but I couldn't find anything. Anyway, I would like to request the ability to use a backend database such as MariaDB (MySQL clone) or PostgreSQL instead of just SQLite. I can see this being a huge advantage for users with extremely large collections as the fetch times should be faster. Also, it would allow me to consolidate one more database into my existing PostgreSQL install. I know this would take some restructuring of the current backend but in the long run would give you one more leg up on our competitor as I don't believe they offer any such support.

I have a funny problem: In some of the TV shows scanned by Emby, I get thumbnails for each episode of a certain season. In addition to that, a same number of thumbnails with just the picture of the series is also added, 'doubling' the number of episodes displayed for a certain season. Attached a file that illustrates the situation. Only the first ones can obviously be accessed, while the second set just being displayed. Clicking on them does nothing... I already removed all metadata, asked for refresh and even moved all folders residing in the one for that TV show to a different/new folder. Nothing worked for me so far. I should mention that all data is on a Qnap NAS, but I run the server on a Windows 10 PC. Thanks for any suggestion of how to remove those redundant thumbnails Thanks for any suggestion of how to remove those redundant thumbnails

Hello! I think that a section "lastest/recently watched", at least in movies would be very interesting. Sometimes I go on an actor and watch a movie where he played in... and on the tomorrow I want to see related movies to the one I watched on the yesterday... the problem is I don't remember the name of the movie I played! So I have to go again on the actor to find the good movie. Not practical. A special section would great on server side and implemented in interfaces (android/iOS, ET...). It could give only 15 or 20 lastest items played. Its interesting for movies more than series/episode because in series you've already got the section "next up" which cover this feature already.

Hello, Sometimes we fall on the description of a movie and we want to watch it later, not right now. Today I'm forced to use "favorites" but its not exactly the purpose of this section, its more where I find easily movies for children or the great movie where there's an overkill scene of war in it I want to show to my friends when I invite them... So a section where I can park all movies I want to see later is a great thing. Maybe when à movie is actually watched it could automatically be removed from this section.

I searched forum but didn't see anything specific to this... Is there a current option to build a movie queue? Similar to Netflix I guess. TIA!

Not sure if there is something I did wrong but I had no internet this weekend and tried using my emby app on 2 different android devices to watch movies I had downloaded for offline mode, but I do not see a way to get into the interface without internet. It keeps asking me to sign in.... Is this on purpose? In which case, the offline function is completely useless.

We have a Fire HD 8 (Amazon Tablet) with a 200 GB SD Card (all in $80 - $90) for our son. His favorite shows & movies are synched between the Emby Server & the Emby Application on the Fire HD Tablet. A PIN has been set for Offline Access. The Emby App does not appear to permit us to log in to the Emby Server or use the app for offline content without an internet connection (think Road Trip) This would also work great for watching movies on a device like the Fire HD TV (travel box), long airplane rides, evenings at the beach, mountains, vacation etc. where there may or may not be an internet connection available or may not be a need to pay $15 - $30 / day for internet. The current workaround for this is to use Emby for streaming & content synchronization, while using Kodi for offline organization & playback. Emby appears to have all the right ingredients to play offline content when internet is not available?

I might have asked this before. Maybe not. I would like to be able to broadcast a video to every available player at once.

I'd like to have an indicator present on the dashboard to know an active recording is in progress. Reason being is I check there prior to rebooting/updating the server (such as: is anything going on now I should wait for? Is anyone currently connected?) and then I reboot. Many of times this means I forget a LiveTv recording is active, and I forget to check, and I end up with partial recordings. It doesn't need to be detailed to show what or how many streams are active (unless you want that level of detail), just that currently it is actively recording something to indicate I should wait to reboot/update.

There is a great Plugin on Plex for the NFL Gamepass live streams and game rewind features for the NFL GamePass Subscribers. I love this plugin for Plex but would love to tie it in to my Emby setup so I can only use one of them! Please let me know what this would take and if it's doable! Here's a link to the GitHub page for this plugin! https://github.com/41john/NFL.bundle Thanks a lot!

https://gamepass.nfl.com/nflgp/secure/packages?ttv=0 NFL Gamepass plugin would be a really big deal. The PC version they have now is terrible and stuttering during playback. I have bought a Chromecast for this purpose only since i need to cast it from a mobile device with the NFL GamePass app installed.

http://www.kaashoek.com/comskip/ For recorded tvshows / movies. Works great when its setup correctly. Currently using MCEBuddy and Comskip donater versions to accomplish this and i would love if it was baked directly into Emby

Hi @ all, Is it possible to insert something like a chat system ? This option would be usefull if they are a lot of people ont he server Thanks in advance.

It would be good if the search function could be improved. At basics it would be good if it only searched "films" if you are inside the film category. It would be nice to have some tick box options under the search bar to say I want to search TV or Film or Music etc...
