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...

I would love to see an option to integrate my collection of Comics and E-books For the moment i use Ubooquity to make my comics and E-books availble from my server with works good but it would be nice to have everything in Emby

This would be amazing for customization. Certain trailers for certain people etc. Also, mass user management via inherited attributes of a user group. The possibilities are quite literally endless, but if LDAP/SSO will not be here for a while (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/26495-ldap-support/), I believe this would help be a small step forward toward a more progressive administrative panel.

Really appreciate the effort for multiple versions so far. I have following scenario I have one movie in 2 versions. Once with DTS audio and 1080p x265-10bit video and once with DTS audio and 720p x264-8bit video. If I want to play this file with native support for DTS everything works fine. If I play this file e.g. in chrome it is trying to transcode the x265 file automatically which is very heavy on my cpu as it does not have hardware support for x265. It would be great I were able to choose which specific version I want to play for this reason. Furthermore: It would be great if there was a naming scheme for multiple versions for tvshows. So far I have to manually select them and "group versions" which is okay but it would be great if there would be a way for emby to automatically register them. Maybe if they have the same series+season+ep group them by default or something like that. ~Cheers

Hello i have some Feature Requests for the Emby server software 1: a way to set the limit the number of simultaneous logins from users 2: with the iptv software to be able to order the channels it to groups or packages and the be able to set witch user can watch what package/group of iptv channels thats all for now thank you

can we please get the following I share my Emby with my brother but he doesn't like the idea of his kids (my nephews) watching age inappropriate content. and i dont want to make too many accounts in my emby. i know i can use the parental control, which I use for my kids. so is there anyway i can set an Age restriction on my brothers account and as soon as he watches with 15 rated it asks for a pin and allows the stream. this will be awesome please make it happen

It would be great to watch the same program as your other family members and friends that you have given access to your library. On the Emby Homepage, it could highlight, what others on your server are currently watching, and give the option to "join-in" (at approximately the same point), or watch the same program from the beginning. Also when others start watching something, there could be a pop-up dialogue to ask if you want to join-in. There could also be an option to sync play/pause/seek states for all users watching the same program. I realize that "sync playback" has long been asked for to have several TVs in the same house play simultaneously, but due to issues in getting things in proper sync is an issue. Please ignore the urge to dismiss this feature under the same pretense. My mother in Ontario will not notice is my PC in Alberta is 30 milliseconds out of sync with hers.

Support for MSSQL/MySql on a separate server for simultaneous access to the database by other servers

When adding new users to Emby it is incredibly cumbersome, as you have to go through all the screens and check/uncheck all the settings you want. And then do the same under the User's Profile setting. Feature Request: Option A: Have User Groups and all settings applied to the Group so any users who are members of the group inherit those settings Option B: Be able to copy or clone an existing user for new users. This way we can setup a template user of sorts and use this to create all new users.

Scene Play: A new play option (similar to Resume) where the user can play a movie or TV show directly from a user-specified time code within the media. Why: You absolutely love that one scene in movie XYZ that you just can't get enough of and you want to watch it over and over again - Scene Play would give you instant access to jump directly to your bookmarked time code to play that scene. Or what if you have a major craving to watch just that one scene during the day but don't want to load the movie to then have to search the time code for that PERFECT spot. Important Note!: The other HUGE advantage of this is that Scene Play will NOT save play progress! Therefore, you will not have a huge laundry list of half-played movies just because you wanted to watch the Star Trek: Beyond's Beastie Boys scene while at lunch. It then saves you from having to rewind the video to the beginning to reset play progress to zero. User UI: Media's main screen: Next to the Play button you will have a new Scene Play button. Tap that button and you will get 1. No scenes set 2. Play from scene 1 3. Play from scene 2 4. ...etc This pop-up box would be fixed height and scrollable. While playing the movie (OSD): There will be a new button to tag a time code as Scene 1, 2, 3, etc. Numerical sequencing would be automatic with no user ability to change the numbers (to keep it simple within the code). This button would essentially be the same as the Scene Play button mentioned above, except now the user has the ability to add a tagged scene at the current time code. Play state shouldn't matter (playing/paused) since it's simply grabbing the time code at the time the button was pressed and saving it as a bookmark of sorts. Be the coolest and ONLY media player in town to add this new feature to your user experience!

What does everyone think about having the ability to sync playback among multiple users/clients so multiple users can watch the same thing in real-time? That way users could share the movie night experience with family and friends even if they are in different locations.

I would love a plugin that does what the picture shows very straight forward.

I have all my kids stuff tagged "kids". Problem being, parental control filters *out* media given a particular tag. Considering kids stuff is like 5% of my entire library, it would make sense to allow the converse of the tag, eg, *not* "kids". No way in hell am I going to go through my entire library and tag all non-kids stuff "non-kids". Surprised at the motivation behind the current functionality.... it seems logically backwards considering it's parental control related. At the very least, allow keywords like NOT, OR, AND when specifying the tag filter. Thanks PS. I know I can create a separate kids library, but its hacky considering there is parental control already built in, just no flexibility. I already have the ratings filter set up, but it only works for stuff that has a valid rating.

I installed the Emby server several days ago and got everything up and going, today I installed Emby for KODI on my HTPC and now I have duplicate items in my KODI library for everything.. Music, Movies and Television episodes. When I look in the info for each item one lists the path to the media server and the 2nd item list Plugin... is there some configuration setting that was missed? It was my understanding from the video and documentation that Emby would sync with the KODI library and not create a duplicate. Help and thanks.... Will

Would love to see a message via the server.. I know about the messaging thru the remote but if doesn't cover all the users at one time it would be great to be able to sent out a message to users all The the same time.. also in the server dashboard tab there is a picture of the media being used, could it be a possibility to add a right click and have a message user.. I apologise for any misspellings and grammatical error I'm on my phone and have big thumbs...

Hi All I know that Audio Books have been mentioned in the Past. I have a large collection doctor who audio Plays ( along with others) , which under the present music folder system does not work (the doctors folders are set up in regeneration order 4th, 5th, 6th doctor etc), When displayed on screen the folders contents merge into one display. I did look the movie library section, which gave me the look that i wanted, but does not support audio files (mp3 Etc). if possible would you be able to add audio support there so to give season support to audio books. i know that from other posts that other users are looking for this support.

My wife deletes nothing, and I waste an hour or so a weekend weeding through watched episodes and manually deleting them. It would be spectacular to have the ability to set up a scavenger that removes stuff x days (or hours) after being marked watched. Obviously this applies mostly to episodes, but can extend to other media. I know you can set "keep z number of recordings" when you set up the series recording, but that doesn't help (and actually hurts) if you have z episodes of unwatched episodes and z+1 comes along. I actually took a crack at writing a script last weekend that checks nfo files of watched state and compares last modified to today, but it's a pain in the d*** and I'd rather have something integrated. Of course, if there's something already integrated that I am unaware of, I'd love to know. Thanks

Hello, Is there the possibility to display the video transcoding data for admins when playing a video? Maybe with its own button in the menu. Only for admins. This would be very helpful to test and control the transcoding options. cu Taurec e.g. (the ppic does not contain the right data, it is just a example) Ups ... I see this is similar to https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/41908-transcode-ratedirect-play-info-on-the-video-player-screen/

Just throwing this out there, not sure anything like this is possible but sounds like it would be a cool feature... So during this Thanksgiving, my family is all over here and we are watching movies while prepping the days meal. Some of the family is in the living room and some is in the kitchen/dining area cooking. I've got a client and emby theater setup in each area...the folks in the living area are watching a good movie that we wouldn't mind watching at the same time with them. I know I can create another user and just play the same movie on the kitchen are screen as what's playing on the living room screen...just thought it would be cool to find a way to tap into/sync the 2 areas so that the media is playing at the same time. What got me thinking about it was one of my family yelled across the hallway "Hey, you should see this" while I'm in the kitchen area. Wish there was a way for me to open up emby theater in the kitchen area and sync to what's playing in the other area... Anyway, just a thought...

It would be great if i could watch somethign at the same time with my brother when hes not close to me. so a sync playback function would be great. aswell as only one encode. there is no reason to encode it twice unless different video quality there are just often cases like this: for me. would be great if i could like click the thumbnail to watch together. just like on plex
