I Just got an idea that would be super helpful right about now that we’re quarantined. To be able to view a movie at the same time with someone. Maybe have Emby follow one of the users. So for example if I’m watching a movie with a friend and I pause it have it also pause it in the friends screen. And also have Emby run the same movie at the same time. It would also help with long distance relationships. Hope I made sense

Support for channel groups in the m3u file tvg-groups = sport tvg-groups = children tvg-groups = documentaries I see that at the moment the support is only for • tvg-name - Channel name • tvg-id - unique channel ID • tvg-chno - channel number • tvg-shift - Number of hours to change the epg (used only as needed)

Not sure if this would be possible, but it would sure be great to have this capability. When the need arises where a server needs to be shut down (maintenance, update/upgrade, outage, etc.) to have a display page for the clients when they attempt to log in that indicates the situation instead of "not available". Here is my situation. On occassion, the remaining data under the data cap that is imposed by my ISP runs a little low. I have at times been forced to shut down my server to keep from exceeding the limit and being imposed an addtional charge. Other times, I have had to shut down my server to do a substantial upgrade or maintenance on the server hardware. Either of these would result in a user trying to log into a server that is no available. They get the message that the server is not available, and then the phone calls begin asking what's going on. What would be great is a shell of a server that would simply answer the log in attempt and display a configurable page with any information I would like to display. Like; 1. Server is down for routine maintenance at the moment, please check back in a few minutes. 2. Server will be down for a few hours for routine maintenance. Please try back again tomorrow. 3. Due to data usage limits imposed by the ISP, the server will be down until XX/XX/XXXX. Please try again after that date. This gutted server could even be installed on a separate machine (laptop) in the event of a server rebuild or major upgrade. If anyone has a work around that would accomplish this, please let me know. It would be great to have this. Thanks

At times, when movies/scenes are bright, or when there is hardcoded subtitles and loose/external subtitles displayed over, the text is very hard to read. I would suggest adding the feature to enable a black transparent box around the subtitles, as you see in e.g. Netflix etc. If this is already possible, I have failed to figure out how, and I would like to know how and apologize for the feat. request /BR

It would be really handy to be able to click a show and say stop following or showing up in the next up section. For example, i started watching walking dead, decided after season 1 that it's not for me at this point in time. I might want to continue watching it in the future so i don't want to lose my history of already watched episodes. I know you can tag a show as watched or unwatched but that way you don't know where you stopped watching. I found a topic about it from 2016 where an admin called ebr said you could use the like/dislike feature, to sort of get what you wanted but that i don't see that feature. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/29777-remove-show-from-next-up/ At first i didn't think it was a problem but honestly i'm getting more and more shows where i just want to take a break from watching them. Others have also asked me if it was an option, which also gave me the impression it's not just me who wants this. Having them in my face just makes me dislike em more for being pushy (just my opinion ^^ )

I tried a search to make sure this request wasn't a duplicate. If it is then please point me to the right thread. I find myself wanting to go straight to the Home page from different places in the app and having to hit "back" multiple times. Would it be reasonable to have a "tabs" menu on every screen (non-playback) and a Home button/icon on every "tabs" menu? Not sure if "tabs" is the correct terminology for the top row of the display. Thanks

It is important that we can synchronize subtitles. Currently, there is no function in the emby. Why? Best regards /Panos It is important that we can synchronize subtitles. Currently, there is no function in the emby. Why?

I didn't see any URL to be able to upload an image. Just a browse option from you computer. This make way faster the process instead of always to download and re-upload in emby. Well, I would say this is called scraping.

i would like a system to report issues and errors on the emby things i like to be able to do if a user is experience a issue or error they can report it to the admin of the emby server i like to get emails of the issues but could use the other Notifications plug ins what i like is reporting the following Tv Show Issue Tv Show Missing Tv Show Not Playing Tv Show Mislabeled Movie Issue Movie Missing Movie Not Playing Movie Mislabeled Music Issue Music Missing Music Not Playing Music Mislabeled on emby players if the user experiences a file not playing they be able to go back to the movie or episode move over to more and clcik [report issue] then a pop up of what is need [X] = media type i.e. tv show movie music home video etc [X Issue] - can also submit text about the issue [X Missing] - tells the admin this is missing [X Not Playing] - tells the admin [X] file is not playing [X Mislabeled] - tells the admin that [X] is misslabeled i.e. (tv show X s03e04 - now showing label, X s02e08 - wrong name)

It would be nice to be able to limit the amount of time a user can use Emby per day. On my PC, I'm able to limit the number of hours the kids are logged into their user account. Something similar on Emby might be nice. Alternatively, allow them to be logged in only at certain times of the day. Thanks!

Would it be possible in the future to have series/movies listed in Trakt.tv and available on selected streaming services showing up as our content in Emby? Similar to The Reelgood app on AppleTV which opens listed shows' episodes in the appropriate app. Thanks, Fabrice

I would like a recently watched ribbon on the main home page and the tv show library home page Currently we have [an option of] a latest - %liibrary% ribbon,on main home page can we also have [an option of] a Recently watched - %library% ribbon. The suggestions page of tv shows currently shows: latest next up i would like "recently watched" added (it would probably be better imo if all were ribbons, on web interface, next up is a different layout to latest.) its is faffy eg on roku interface after falling asleep during a show and not be able to get back to the episode quickly (eg when no further episodes in next up)..you have to go > library, shows, letter, find ,, season..etc. Emby would be my preferred client on Roku if it wasnt for this, now plex is too often crasing during playback. thanks for considering.

Hi, I would like to be able to see complete person's filmography in emby person detail page (as simple text as on tmdb) instead opening links. The titles listed in filmography witch are already in the library could be bolded or coloured (somehow indicated). I guess this could be easily done and would be good addition to the people's detail page.

There is a Kodi addon (named Unpause Jumpback) that does this and I really miss it when using Emby. What it does is it will jumpback a chosen number of seconds whenever a video is un-paused. You can set the amount of seconds to jump back and the minimum seconds the pause must take to jump back.

Deny access to a secured library or a movie within the library via direct urls for users without access to the library https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/69575-deny-access-to-libraries-and-videos-via-direct-urls/

Hello, Don't know if this is the right place for this but : Is it possible, when Emby is idling but still connected through the Chromecast, to display the displayed movie details. When emby is idling, there is a slideshow of the media available on your server. However, we do not know from which media the background is based on. Hope it's clear. Cheers,

Now that windows 7 is no longer supported I am attempting to move away from wmc and use Emby exclusively for my DVR. One main feature I am really going to miss is fast forward 1 with pitch correct audio. This is wonderful for getting through sports and the like quickly. Windows media center and TiVo have this feature. Is this something that can be done in Emby?

I am not sure if this is a feature request or a bug report. I don't see it described in any forum, but that may be my search failing to match the terms another poster used. I recently had a very brief power-outage. My emby server and all of my network recovered properly, except my cable modem. It just needed a reset, but what I found odd is that I had no guide data, despite an update just before the outage. If emby should already be storing the guide data either in the database or other file, it does not seem to be.(bug) If it is only storing guide data in memory, then it should also write it out to the filesystem. That way if the internet is down post restart, the system could continue to function until the last day in the stored guide. (feature)

I'm currently placing my 4k movies in a separate library, but this is starting to muddle up my home screen. Is there anyway to limit users access by quality? I do not wish to allow any access outside of my local network to 4k content. I don't even want it being transcoded. I would however, wish to include my 4k copies with my HD/SD copies of these films, but prevent them from being viewed outside of my local network. Thanks!

I have quite a few users and it would be nice to have multiple live stream options that can be given on a user by user basis. For example. one live stream could have all normal channels in it and a second live stream could only be assigned with adult only channels and given access to users that want them. second item that might be of interest is a a favorites folder similar to collections, my dad is is older and he just likes to have quick links to channels he likes, i have set him up folder in collections but occasionally it gets messed up and i have to redo it. Thanks Dickie

So one of the reasons I don't use Emby for music is I can sync a playlist to my phone, but I can't just click on that playlist in downloads and hit shuffle to quickly play my music. The only other way is to just shuffle all downloaded music but that button doesn't really shuffle the music as it kinda always plays it in the same order if you click the shuffle button. Sorry if this has been posted already.

The embyserver.log file is far too unsecured with personal info that hackers can use. My request is for a way to post embyserver.txt that does not include any system specific info for hackers to expoit. Why does this info even need to be in the log. Logs should never contain server addresses or links. The ops keep asking to post logs when there is an issue, but that is too dangerous. I want to post the log instead of private messaging it so maybe others can suggest answers to issues. At least with android, it is secure to send logs. Make the server the same way please. Personally I will no longer post logs as requested. The op's should request us to PM them logs if needed and NEVER ask a user to post them.

Hi all, it's past a year from when I adopted emby-server, and I like It. But I use Vu+ Plugin for live TV and I can't really enjoy It: organization of channels isn't exist. Vu+ plugin is even same version as before 3.x.x, in kodi Is yet 4.x.x I would like gently to know why in kodi with the same plugin, you import Channel bouquets automatically and otherwise in emby it's practically impossible. Thanks

It's probably an awful lot of work to write this and set this up, but I'd like to be able to set EHS icons per account or account groups. For example, I'm using the icons James971 (I don't know what your handle is on this forum, this is the name from the previous MB2 forum) created over ten years ago in 2008 or 2009. My partner would like something else and my boys both want something different all together, not to mention my extended family... Is there a possibility to get something like this?

Hi, are there any plans to introduce Dynamic Lists or save created filters as lists? Additionally - when filtering on studios, you have to go through the whole list instead of skipping to letters. Is this something which can be considered to look at for future updates? Thanks
