Any chance of adding filters to Collections ? Would be handy to go into say a Hitchcock Collection and filter by resolution to find any low res versions, for example. Unless you can do that already of course...

Okay. I am a family orientated user. I set this up for my wife and kids. Kids have now grown up and moved out and each has their own taste of shows and movies to watch. But as a father I wanted a way to help my kids with finances so I started this. And they absolutely love it. But there is some requests if it is at all possible. 1: Let me send them to the TAGS category when they click live tv. Only reason for this with so many life tv iptv and so on kids have special requests. A lot of 24/7 streams. But my boys like Anime and my kids don.t. If I could send them to tags, they could click on a tag they want. GrandKids, Jailee Fav show, Vanessa tv, Boys Anime TV. I hope I am explaining enough in details. 2: A message or note of the day that appears at the top. Either in a scrolling fashion or something they can click on that opens up like a movie title with a note for all the kids. My oldest lives over 1000 miles away so this is important. Our hours don't ever line up so I would like to be able to tell him "Hey Stephen, I got that movie "Blah" up for you. Hope you Enjoy Love You, Make sure to call mom!" 3: Improve rating locks. My grand daughter turned on a movie that was supposed to be blocked. I don't know how she was able to turn it on and she cant tell me as she is only 2. So something somewhere there is wrong just don't know where. I am not demanding or telling you that you have to do these. I am just saying your software has become a major player in family life. So it would be nice to have certain features to help. That is all. Thank you all in advance.

Often I find a movie that seems interesting and want to watch, but life gets in the way and it gets lost in the mix. I've been adding these movies to a "movies to watch" playlist so I can remember them. I'd love an option to have this playlist/maybe a "movies to watch" setting per film, show up on the home screen like the "latest" sections. Bonus points if it could be randomized so it's a different order of films every time.

Additionally, it would be great if in a browser, we clicked on the rotten tomatoes icon, it linked directly to the associated RT webpage. Thanks!

from do not forget

Missing Things in the Client that should be there: 1. Favorite Tags - It is possible to flag tags as favorite, but the Option is missing for: "Show only my favorite tags" - favorite tags are not included in favorites 2. Client app on Nvidia Shield: - no sorting Options in Playlists (like sort by Name, year, etc.) Additional: Collections - should have the same "SEEN" Icon as movies too when all movies in this Collection have Status watched - when not all movies watched than it should Show for example: 3/5, 2/6

I think it would be great if the apps had the ability to send a shut down signal to the computer on which the Emby server runs. Specifically I use the Android TV app on an Nvidia Shield Pro, but I guess it's the same for the other apps. The computer I use to run the Emby Server is in the basement, and it would just be great if when I log out of the app on my TV, I got prompted asking if I want to turn the computer off. So many times I forget to do this, and the computer remains unnecessarily on for lots of hours (usually until the next evening...). There is this feature on the Steam Link app, and I find it super useful when I finish a gaming session on the tv Cheers, Filo

Is it possible to add the following two feature to Emby for an improved music experience? - Cross fade between the audio/music files - Audio volume leveling and peak normalization (so that Emby automatically adjusts the playback volume in order to maintain a consistent level e.g. by setting a threshold, and those music/audio files that are below the threshold will be gained/boosted and those that are above will be lowered.)

Hello, forgive me if this has been asked before, but can you add a search bar to the top of the menu to search for collections when adding media? If I remember correctly at one point there was one? I have close to 300 collection and don't like having to scroll through a long list to find the one I am looking for. Maybe something simple like this quick mock up design. Thanks.

Looking for the feature in statics that will show you the watch progress of each show/movie. Right now you can break it down by user, but not view all users combined. I'd like the ability to see if there are shows on my system that no one has watched. Allowing me to clean them out. As well as seeing whats the most watched by everyone, so I can make sure I get all episodes, or upgrade the quality, etc.

I have libraries Movies, TV, Music Videos, Music and Music Videos. The folder.jpg that is the GENRE artwork is currently shared across the libraries. So categories of genre like Action, Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Crime, Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Western, etc. My Movie library may have different GENRE cover art for ANIMATION compared to ANIMATION in my TV library. For example, the artwork for movies may have movie animation characters on it and the tv version has tv characters. Similarly for Music and Music Videos - I would like my music genres to be able to be different from my Music Videos library. Lastly for audiobooks, although these have categories for comedy, drama, classic literature, mystery, sci-fi etc, the art work for these are more title based without characters on the cover art from a programme or movie. Looking at the emby fiel system I can see that the genres are pretty much in one folder, so just a case of having a separate folder for each library type?

It would be nice to be able to see which character the actor played in the movies / tv shows view when clicking into an actor. Currently, it only shows the movie / tv show name and year. The data should already be there since when you click into a movie / tv show, the character name already shows under the actor's name.

Today access to Live TV is a all or nothing checkbox. I have multiple sources (free IPTV streams and my local coaxial to IPTV at home). I would like to provide the free IPTV stream to some of my family members, for convenience of access, but I can't restrict the access to any other tuner source... Or is there any other way that I am not aware? Thanks, anthonws.

When displaying a library in folder view, every folder has its own default view (type, image size, shown fields) and sorting. If you want to have your own view/sorting, you have to change it manually in every folder - which can be quite a lot of work. It would be very useful to have an option to change the default view and sorting behavior for files in folder view that's automatically applied to all folders.

Emby web UI & Emby Theatre won't play iso files. ISO Files need to be fully downloaded then Auto Mounted before they will Play. All clients must wait for the ISO package to fully download, then mount it and it will play. Most dumb clients just try to buffer and play the streams, that's no good the menus won't work. Tell the impatient Clients, ok its a disk image DVD or BD so I will wait for full download, then mount and play.

Either a ROKU or SERVER option to not have SONGS show up...

2 problems with sound level... 1 when watching content with 5.1-7.1 on 2.0-2.1, C-channel will be too quiet. actors are hard to hear, need "center mix level" 2 Some dubbed content may be too quiet, a "sound boost" option would be nice no, raising the volume on the audio system is a stupid decision, because if you then turn on normal content, it will hurt your ears))) for tv-shows these settings can be saved for all subsequent episodes on the current device.

Currently, I'm facing an issue with organizing TV shows and movies from Netflix or Disney+. If they are turned into collections, it is not intuitive to use. I hope to freely add tags or collections to the main screen's My Media or Library for easier access.

It would be really nice to be able to continue scrolling through the guide and when you hit the bottom it takes you right back to the top. Rather than having to scroll back up threw everything in reverse. Just a suggestion. And maybe it's only me that would like it.

I am thinking about getting myself a Meta Quest 3 VR headset. And although there are third party apps that can stream via DLNA. a native app would be preferred. Have you considered creating an Emby app for the Meta Quest 3?

hello Can you please put the shuffle button on the web-based players I see the repeat button but the shuffle is missing I am sorry if that was posted before.

Is it possible to use the picture of the person specific to the content instead of the general picture? why? so it is easier to find the person you are looking for. If this is declined, is it possible to create it as a plugin with the existing api? or could there be support created? if so, could i get a few links with where i would need to search for getting the info like how do you create specific metadata for a specific media content i understand that this will increase the size so maybe make it togglable? i also think that it looks better with what you are looking at that it is all themed to the content, and there are probably also places where there is no specific image so a fallback is required Sorry, i think that a post for this feature already exists but i could not find it

Hi, This is my first feature request please don't bash me Currently the next episode will show if the current is at the end. The Feature could be to setup a time when will start the next Episode 10 seconds for end or something for example

I hope to add a new sorting method to my favorite songs, that is, sorting according to the time of collection. The current sorting method is inconvenient, and the latest favorite songs will not appear in the first place every time.

I know we already have it as a feature when you resume a show after stopping it but waaaay back in the day when I had a Tivo if you paused a program to say go flip the laundry or answer a phone call when you unpaused it would jump back 5 seconds ( could have been more it was a long time ago) which was nice because it was like a bit of a refresher. That is a feature I miss and would be cool if it emby could adopt something similar.
