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

It appears that the Emby web app uses all of my photo libraries for the screensaver when "Photo screen saver" is the selected option. I have several Photo libraries. One has all of my unedited, "raw" photos. Another has edited, "ready for public viewing" photos in tif format, and another has the edited photos in jpg format. Still another has family photos. I would like to be able to tell Emby to only use certain libraries for the screen saver. I could see this either as a list of checkboxes under Screensaver settings, or "Use in Screensaver" options when editing a Library.

I think it would be a great addition to, on the People Screen, have a button to 'Load All' / 'Load Remote' or something similiar where Emby can query the configured metadata providers for Shows / Movies etc that a 'Person' appears in We often find ourselves saying 'what do i know that person from' and this would allow emby to load all their filmography without needing to go google the answer Figure a button would be less resource intensive than doing it for every person lookup (as i understand person metadata is queried live?)

It would be nice if there you could put the server into maintenance mode where existing streams could play out but if someone starts a new one they would get a notification that the server was going down for maintenance.

Buenas tardes me gustaría que se pudiera limitar a cada usuario la cantidad de archivos (Musica, Videos, Peliculas) que descargan de forma simultánea y la velocidad de descarga de los mismos ejemplo: El usuario: Cliente 1-- solo pueda descargar 2 archivos de forma simultánea de la biblioteca películas y bloquear descarga de otras bibliotecas El usuario: cliente 2-- solo pueda descargar 5 archivos de la biblioteca de música de forma simultánea y bloquear descargas de otras bibliotecas El usuario: Cliente 3 -- solo pueda descargar 1 archivo de todas las bibliotecas de forma simultánea todas las descargas con velocidades configurables De antemano mil gracias por el espacio y la atención

Would it be possible to add a new status for shows called ignored. my family runs of my systems and we have vastly different tastes, id like a way to mark a tv series as ignored so it doesn't show up in a watched or unwatched filter. It would also be great if ignored shows didn't appear in the "Latest Media" on the home screen. I have seen people say you can do similar things by sorting shows into separate folders and libraries, and even about restricting it with tags. But I don't want to actually lock anyone out of a show and i want the process to be a user managed process not something I have to do as an admin

Hello! So, I actually have three connected things to discuss regarding the file version of episodes and movies. More often than not, I add a subbed and a dubbed version as two separate video files for an episode. But that leads to inconcistencies within a series regarding the default version because it seems like the files with the lowest size are preferred and set as default. I would like to set a text like "GerSub" or "GerDub" to be recognized within a filename and the file which contains this text should be set as default for all series and movies. Maybe this could be an optional user setting. But this feature will cause another problem, if the chosen default is not the preferred version for a specific series. The file version isn't saved after playback, this option is only available for video files with separate audio tracks and subtitles. So, I would like Emby to save the file version after playback. But you still have to change the version for every episode. That's why I also suggest an option on top: To change the text for the default recognition for a single series. I understand that these are special cases and aren't easy to implement but I would really appreciate it. Thanks for reading!

Could you please add TITLOVI.COM finally??? This Emby service is starting to suck more and more. Now i cannot even download subtitles thanks to stupid OpenSubtitles. Do it al ready. Kodi has it since the begging https://forum.titlovi.com.

Hi, Please make it possible to select multiple languages sorted by priority as default. E.g I want Ukrainian to play as default audio track. But if it's not available, then English or original. Just make a sorted list, instead of drop-down.

It would be nice if "Camera upload" could have folders (album). So when you choose albums to upload, emby would sent photos to folders named as albums

I searched but didn't see any recent discussion of leveling/normalizing volume across multiple tracks in a Music library. Is that in the works or planned?

hey would it be possible to include genre's on home screen with the ability to choose preferred view ie primary or thumb? or to select which genre's the admin would like to showcase ?

Hey guys, just bought a lifetime membership of Emby Premier. It's really nice and I love the app! However, really wish there was a PlayStation app. The Xbox app is decent, same with Samsung store and Roku! PlayStation needs an app though. Thank you!

Function: In the metadata manager interface, users can batch process NFOs from multiple episodes in the same path of the media library (tvshow.nfo / season.nfo / episode.nfo). Assuming that users all adopt standard episode naming conventions: TV/A (year) [tmdbid=a]/Season 1/S01E01. ext TV/B (year) [tmdbid=b]/Season 1/S01E01. ext Batch Edit tvshow.nfo: When entering the TV directory, select multiple programs, and the right interface can batch modify tvshow.nfo. If the content of a certain item is different. And without modification, the UI can be displayed as follows: --≠, the current content remains unchanged - Users can choose whether to batch lock this content. If the content of a certain item is the same, it will be displayed, modified, and all selected NFOs will take effect. Ps: The same goes for movies. Batch edit season.nfo: When entering the season directory, select multiple seasons, and the right interface can batch modify season.nfo. The editing logic is the same as above. Batch Edit episode.nfo: When entering the episode directory, select multiple episodes, and the interface on the right allows batch modification of episode.nfo. The editing logic is the same as above. It seems unnecessary to batch modify season.nfo and episode.nfo across paths; If you want to lock them, choosing to lock nfo when batch modifying tvshow.nfo should also be able to lock them. The above is from machine translation, and I am not sure if my demands are clearly expressed. Hope to add this feature! This feature is very practical and can reduce a lot of workload.

Errr...yeah...as per the title. Basically an Emby Kindle-alike, for .pdf. mobi etc. L

I had about a hundred shows in a collection. When I viewed a series it showed the collection near the bottom of the page. On that collection was a menu item called delete. I clicked on that assuming it would delete the show from the collection. Instead the entire collection was deleted which was a disaster. Rebuilding that collection will be virtually impossible. In any case, a menu choice to remove a show from the collection would be nice. Or sorting the series in the collection page in alphabetical order would improve the situation. Right now I have to scan all the shows which is a pita. Please make removing a series from a collection easier.

Greetings...A very important feature which I feel is missing is, a watch tracker...First of all, I'm not asking for a watchlist to mark "plan yo watch" shows...(I already use favorites tab for that)...I'm asking for a complete watch tracker....that'll show a users all the completed, currently watching (and if possible, Planned) shows list...I know that completed shows list can be found in library filters and trakt plugin can track shows progress...still, it would be nice to have all this information universally in a separate tab beside favorites tab...that way I dont have to go to trakt everytime to view my progress...it would be way more helpful than an entire tab for favorites imo...and since these datas already saved in the database of emby; i hope it won't be that hard... Another really important thing you could add in that tab is "currently watching"; like i've mentioned...(not continue watching...if you've finished a ep of a tv show it wont be available in continue watching, but you are still watching that show...Big brain idea: You can combine continue watching and next up section to get "currently watching"....if it's available in any of them...it will go to "currently watching") and if you like this idea and want to take it above and beyond...add another few buttons...that will be available inside a shows details page...1. "on hold" - currently watching shows that you have paused 2. "Dropped" - shows that you've dropped midway 3. "rewatching" - pretty self explanatory.... these buttons are less useable...so they'll only show up in a show's details page...details page will have a "+" button to add an item to the list...and from the dropdown you can select these catagories...here are some screenshots of a random app with this type of watch tracker.... I hope the devs will consider this, cause this will be really helpful for people with huge libraries and don't want to go to another app to view watch history...

Hey Emby Team, I've tried looking for this to see if it was a requested feature, but couldn't. I know there's a way to limit concurrent streams. Is there a way to implement a feature that limits how many devices a user can add? It might require them to manage connected devices overall, not sure if that's already a thing.

I bought a vip package on opensubtitles.com but emby uses the .org site

as per title said, since the app on windows is based on electron (AFAIK it's chromium based), i think it's possible to made pip function, since some of browser already implemented this (atleast in youtube), and it's helped a lot, for watching something while doing works the challenge might be, displaying subs in those pip (softsubs), also just FYI the pip in ios (tested in ipad) is great already, we just need it on windows app now

When accepting to start the next episode, could the current episode be marked as "watched" at that point? I now have many episodes in queue waiting for in the "countinue watching". And also what could be the reason that some episodes do not have a screenshot and for some reason Emby skips those episodes?

I'd like to see Emby allow decimals numbers in the episode number. This would make it easy to insert promos, commercials, etc. in-between episode 1 and 2 for example. Emby manual power!

Hi, I've searched for earlier requests like this but didn't find anything similar. My request is the option to create library groups for a better view. At he moment I've got nearly 500 libraries, but the all are part of one of my 8 "groups", and it would be very nice to only see these 8 "roots" and then go inside them for more. I'm not talking about nested collections, only for getting a UI improvement (and then also in the client apps!). Thanks a lot!

dunno what the windows equivalent of Finder is, but ... I'd like to suggest adding "show/reveal/go to in Finder" to the 3 dot menu. I have discovered that have some dupes of songs. This would help me find the best one and eliminate others.
