Everyone in my house has a different account on emby. We play everything through it, on our phones or TVs. Plenty of times I'll mention a song or show to one of my sons, but due to the size of our media library, things could be difficult to find, or remember exactly which episode or song I mentioned. In any app there could be an indicator showing that another user has sent you a recommendation. Open user recommendations and it would have all recommendations that you received from any of the various users of that server. Select the item and it takes you to the piece of media. <user> thinks that you would like <media>

Hi Emby. I would like to be shown premium usage under devices, and what premium feature used, and drop out date. It's really hard to keep track off. Personally I have not at any time reached the limit, but some sort of status, would be nice.

So, assumed I have movies/shows and their soundtracks on my server, wouldn't it be nice to link them together and show the availability of the soundtrack on the page of a movie/show. Maybe go even further and show the cover and tracks, a bit like extras, instead of just a link to the album? Oh and play it in background (a bit like the theme-song plugin). Matching/identification could be done via album-artist/artist and album title on one side, and composer plus movie title on the other side.

you should add skip credits like you have the skip into as there are lots of movies and shows that have scenes after the credits.

I currently can hardly use the search function, as searching for all file types through all of my libraries takes too much time (usually around 5 minutes for a simple query) since my libraries are pretty big. Could we have some options on the search page to restrict the search to a specific library, i.e. search only movies or music, for the entered string? Also, the immediate start of a search as soon as I begin typing into the search box causes delays for me - I would prefer to input the search string, then press enter to start the search.

Hello everyone, I would generally like to have a field on the dashboard where the server admin can leave messages or announcements to the users. E.g. next Tuesday the server will be shut down for maintenance. Greetings Helix

Hello, it will be huge problem to make trailers in 720p? I think everyone prefer to watch on yt because it's damage for our eyes to watch in 480p Regards.

Would it be possible to have dynamic metadata updates on for ratings like imdb, rotten tomatoes scores etc.. As these score are constantly changing and without doing a full refresh which can take time. I just need the ability to update the scores only. Thanks

If it's possible, I would like you to add HDR10+ to description. If a movie is DolbyVision, it says so in the description. If a movie is HDR10, it says so in the description. If a movie is HDR10+, it just says HDR10. So there's no way of knowing if I'm going to watch a HDR10+ movie or standard HDR10.

It would be nice to be able to control the number of threads used during thumbnail image extraction, since the current logic uses only 1 thread and makes the initial process quite slow. Maybe this could be set dynamically? Such as using many threads when the server is IDLE and decreasing it to 1 when the server is being used (playing a movie for example)? Here is the command I am seeing doing the extraction: /bin/ffmpeg -f mp4 -threads 1 -skip_interval 10 -copyts -i file:/data/MYMOVIE.mp4 -an -sn -vf select='eq(pict_type,PICT_TYPE_I)',scale=w=320:h=180 -vsync cfr -r 0.1 -f image2 /config/cache/temp/7644073623b3405cb1371dd3f95e0cf0/img_%05d.jpg Alternatively, I would be fine creating a custom script that does that for me, but I am missing the commands to convert *.jpg files to one single .bif file. Can you please help me with that?

I thought there was already something for this, but I can't seem to find it. I'd like to see Mate-data languages in the language that the user sets. So for example, if a user has their device set to Dutch, all meta data is displayed in Dutch, whereas the same item would be displayed in Spanish if the user has set their device to Spanish. Movie/series posters in the display language of the device would be a nice addition to this as well

When clicking on a TV series image, it is VERY easy to accidentally click the green check mark that marks the entire TV series as watched. Can you implement a confirmation dialogue box that will popup to confirm that choice?

Hi everyone! How’s going? Hope everyone is well!! I’ve been thinking about the customization of Emby. I know it’s possible to use an customized CSS and replace logos of the web version. But why not use this for default settings instead of CSS customization? If prefer, can make a validation of you’re using an paid subscription service for this feature. Example: when the application (Android/iOS) is searching the server check for any subscription. If you have an subscription, he looks for an URL or the image file itself (I think it’s more “simple”* for an URL on Imgur of your logo with an image default size like 200x67). This parameter could be added on server options tab or on settings tab of Emby also. *Disclaimer: I work with development software and I know this isn’t simple enough to be developed. I’ve used the “simple” term for describing the setting name/section.

Emby 服务器和Emby 客户端，未来有可能支持统一登录（SSO）或OAuth2吗？ Is it possible for Emby servers and Emby clients to support Unified Logon (SSO) or OAuth2 in the future?

I would like to see if there is a way to flag movies/tv shows so that they can be visible both inside a collection and in the general listing as well. For example, I have an Adam Sandler collection that contains the movie Bedtime Stories. I would like the Adam Sandler Collection to be listed, but also have the movie Bedtime Stories show outside of the collection. I know it is an Adam Sandler movie, but my kids and others might just know it for the movie title. This would give it 2 ways to show up and be found. Maybe set as a flag on the individual movies where you can have 2 boxes, show in collection and show individual. I hope this makes sense. I have access to a friends plex library and I can see the movies individually as well as in the collection it is in.

It's nice to be able to create a collection with (for example) all the Harry Potter movies, soundtrack albums, and audiobooks. But it would be much nicer if those types were separated, so a row for movies, a row for albums, and a row for audiobooks.

* filter by movie runtime * filter by file size Like set minimum duration to 5 minutes filter items longer than that, set maximum duration to 120 minutes to filter items shorter than that. Same for file size filtering. Sorting by them is not enough.

I've created a list of Edgar Wallace movies; https://thetvdb.com/lists/15993 Since Themoviedb has rather strict rules for creating collections. Could you get lists (either only official or any custom) and make collections from those? I think that could be helpful. I get that this would create all sorts of Collections, which may not be desired, so only accepting official ones could be better. Pulp Fiction for example is also in what I'd call private lists; https://thetvdb.com/movies/pulp-fiction#lists meaning, ones that don't convey a lot of meaning to almost anyone beside the person who created them. Beside the obvious, Director, Cast etc. since I can browse by that person and look for movies they've been involved with, are there other sources which could be used to create collections of movies that somehow are connected to one another? I hoped Wikidata could help here, but no. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1283730 Maybe Wikidata does have some collections of other movies by some combining characteristic, but I'm very much not familiar with how it works.

I searched but couldn't find anything on this. Also not an Emby specific thing, but it would be nice for people that have libraries split up, (sd/1080p/2160p) to not have continue watching littered with all qualities on the serrver. If I start watching in 1080p, continue watching should only show the 1080p version in it, not two or three.

I think this is a basic and useful feature, isn't it? By selecting multiple categories, I can filter the videos I need, such as: Action, Comedy>>>>Rush Hour Action, Sci-Fi>>>>Minority Report Is this request repeated?

I would like to submit the quality of the trailers as well as the mapping of the trailers to the respective national languages as a request in order to increase the priority. Please vote with "Like". Many thanks Seger

Adding an unplayed indicator for movies instead of a played would make it consistent with shows, which would be easier to read in mixed content libraries and would reduce the number of green dots everywhere as you watch more content.

Hi Now with strm extractor plugin you can get all the information about the strm file and save the info inside the nfo file in the same folder. and you can see all the details about the video file . is there any chance we see any update or any other plugin for the built-in skip intro plugin (Detect Episode Intros) to be able to detect details from nfo files and we could use this feature for strm files as well? Thanks

I have lots of movies that I put into collections (Godfather, Back to the Future, etc). But when those movies are put into a larger collection, say, "Dad's movies" they cannot appear inside of that collection as a collection. It would be great if this was a possibility.

Dear Emby Support and Developers, Happy new 2024! I have a late X-mass Wish I have seen this feature on Amazon Prime and loved it so much: When you are watching a movie, you pause it, there come an information on the screen, what actors are currently in the scene (attached picture below from movie "The Big Lebowski"). Is it possible to implement something like this? (as paid or not paid feature/addon) Like this: Thank you! Your fan, Bronte
