Didn't see an official feature request for this so adding it.

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to add a lock screen button to the smartphone version of the Android app? In many ocassions rain water or other unintentional screen touches can make the video jump to a point before or after what we are watching and it is annoying. I believe Netflix app has this fearure. Many thanks Best Bobby

The server config backup plugin isn't creating backups. It shows (failed) in the Scheduled Tasks page. Emby is running in Docker Here is the log: 2022-08-24 17:07:19.615 Error Server Configuration Backup: Error Copying /config/data/ScheduledTasks/c623dbe7-7c91-ebed-cb4c-80409cdb79ee.js to /mnt/Nasuni/AppData/emby-server/backup/Emby Backup - 2022-08-24 17.7.19 - Auto/ScheduledTasks/c623dbe7-7c91-ebed-cb4c-80409cdb79ee.js *** Error Report *** Version: 4.7.6.0 Command line: /app/emby/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /config -ffdetect /app/emby/ffdetect -ffmpeg /app/emby/ffmpeg -ffprobe /app/emby/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3 Operating system: Linux version 5.4.0-121-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-013) (gcc version 9.4.0 (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1)) #137-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 15 13:33:07 UTC 2 Framework: .NET 6.0.2 OS/Process: x64/x64 Runtime: app/emby/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 56 Data path: /config Application path: /app/emby System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/config/data/ScheduledTasks/c623dbe7-7c91-ebed-cb4c-80409cdb79ee.js' is denied. ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Interop.ThrowExceptionForIoErrno(ErrorInfo errorInfo, String path, Boolean isDirectory, Func`2 errorRewriter) at Interop.CheckIo(Error error, String path, Boolean isDirectory, Func`2 errorRewriter) at Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles.SafeFileHandle.Open(String path, OpenFlags flags, Int32 mode) at Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles.SafeFileHandle.Open(String fullPath, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, FileOptions options, Int64 preallocationSize) at System.IO.FileSystem.CopyFile(String sourceFullPath, String destFullPath, Boolean overwrite) at System.IO.File.Copy(String sourceFileName, String destFileName, Boolean overwrite) at Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.ManagedFileSystem.CopyFile(String source, String target, Boolean overwrite) at MBBackup.ServerEntryPoint.CopyFile(String source, String target, Boolean createDirectory) Source: System.Private.CoreLib TargetSite: Void ThrowExceptionForIoErrno(ErrorInfo, System.String, Boolean, System.Func`2[Interop+ErrorInfo,Interop+ErrorInfo]) InnerException: System.IO.IOException: Permission denied Source: TargetSite: 2022-08-24 17:07:19.617 Error TaskManager: Error *** Error Report *** Version: 4.7.6.0 Command line: /app/emby/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /config -ffdetect /app/emby/ffdetect -ffmpeg /app/emby/ffmpeg -ffprobe /app/emby/ffprobe -restartexitcode 3 Operating system: Linux version 5.4.0-121-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-013) (gcc version 9.4.0 (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1)) #137-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 15 13:33:07 UTC 2 Framework: .NET 6.0.2 OS/Process: x64/x64 Runtime: app/emby/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 56 Data path: /config Application path: /app/emby System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/config/data/ScheduledTasks/c623dbe7-7c91-ebed-cb4c-80409cdb79ee.js' is denied. ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Interop.ThrowExceptionForIoErrno(ErrorInfo errorInfo, String path, Boolean isDirectory, Func`2 errorRewriter) at Interop.CheckIo(Error error, String path, Boolean isDirectory, Func`2 errorRewriter) at Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles.SafeFileHandle.Open(String path, OpenFlags flags, Int32 mode) at Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles.SafeFileHandle.Open(String fullPath, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, FileOptions options, Int64 preallocationSize) at System.IO.FileSystem.CopyFile(String sourceFullPath, String destFullPath, Boolean overwrite) at System.IO.File.Copy(String sourceFileName, String destFileName, Boolean overwrite) at Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.ManagedFileSystem.CopyFile(String source, String target, Boolean overwrite) at MBBackup.ServerEntryPoint.CopyFile(String source, String target, Boolean createDirectory) at MBBackup.ServerEntryPoint.CopyAllFiles(String sourceDir, String targetDir, Boolean recursive) at MBBackup.ServerEntryPoint.ExecuteBackup(BackupProfile settings, CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress`1 progress, Boolean isAuto) at MBBackup.Entities.ScheduledBackupTask.Execute(CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress`1 progress) at Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.ScheduledTaskWorker.ExecuteInternal(TaskOptions options) Source: System.Private.CoreLib TargetSite: Void ThrowExceptionForIoErrno(ErrorInfo, System.String, Boolean, System.Func`2[Interop+ErrorInfo,Interop+ErrorInfo]) InnerException: System.IO.IOException: Permission denied Source: TargetSite: 2022-08-24 17:07:19.617 Debug TaskManager: Configuration Backup Failed after 0 minute(s) and 0 seconds The backup is actually showing in the list, and some of the files are copying over to the backup location...

I am super busy most days and I usually end up with some free time late at night, so it was great to see in Plex at a glance how many mins long each movie is, even when sorting by duration there are no time markers. I'd rather have it over ratings showing in the library view if we had to sacrifice something. Thanks for the consideration.

Some pieces of media have not loaded so I've check the folders themselves and discovered either the media file itself not being in the folder or nothing at all. I have no idea what is going on, I have check any user that could delete media and that doesn't check out. whatever the issue is can be tracked down by the log right? embyserver.txt

Emby downloads on iOS are included in automatic iCloud backups. We need to disable Emby for iCloud backups - it doesn’t appear with toggle like other apps. Cheers and keep up the awesome work!

Hi, Can you make THETVDB available in all catagories... movies / tvshow / etc / as well as seasons meta download?

Using an Nvidia Shield, I noticed there is no Genre view in the Music Video content type. I want to have a way to get to Concerts, which I have tagged all the Concerts in my music video library. This view is available in the Web interface, but not Android. Seems all the other content types have Genre except this one. Please add it. Thanks PS, would also be nice to add Genre as a default view.

Currently, on the main screen, when you see latest audiobooks it is a random track. Request is to show and be routed to the album screen.

Currently because Audiobooks are mirrored after the Music category, there is a heading on the Audiobooks page for "Songs". This should either be removed or replaced with a heading that lists chapters. Personally I'm fine with just removing it. However it may be useful to other users to have a master list of chapters. So if listing all chapters would be useful to you, then reply this thread and express your interest.

This is a quick suggestion. Currently because the Audiobook section of Emby is mirrored after Music, on the Audiobooks page, there is a heading for Albums. Please replace this with a heading for "Books".

Yes, I agree that Kodi is too fine grained. I would say that 0.25 seconds incremends would be ideal as even that amount can make a noticeable difference, but at least 0.5 seconds increments would be better than the current 1.

Currently Chinese subtitles cannot be distinguished well, for its variants in subtitle filename extensions cannot be recoginsed Perhaps it is issues left over from history, if you want to now the exact, check https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8b93c07b-93bd-465f-b48f-0fff544c06d8/quotzhhansquot-vs-quotzhchsquot-and-quotzhhantquot-vs-quotzhchtquot?forum=microsofttranslator Hope it can be like this: Chinese Simplified can be recognised by: zh-Hans, CHS, zh-CN, zh-CHS Chinese Traditional can be recognised by: zh-Hant, CHT, zh-TW, zh-CHT

Hi all, Just a request for the tvOS app to respect the logged in user on the Apple TV. The ideal behaviour would be to have an option to ‘remember me’ per TV user, so when changing user in control centre, the emby user would change also to reflect that. Cheers!

Request I would like to request an additional option to the "Restrict Items With Tags" section of 'Users\Parental Control' "Allow items with these tags". It would whitelist any item with the tag into a users library. Reason My children have an account with "Maximum allowed parental rating:" set to GB-U. There are some media items rated GB-PG that I think are suitable to watch and would like to allow in their library. Current System Currently I would have to do either: Select "Allow only items with these tags"; then manually tag all media suitable for the account. Select "Block items with these tags": Set the max "Maximum allowed parental rating" to GB-PG; and manually tag all media unsuitable for the account. Both of these options are large undertakings. Option 2 also means future media might not get tagged and unsuitable GB-PG media might get through. New "Allow items with these tags" Option This would allow me to tag only the GB-PG media I thought suitable. Any new media on the server wouldn't be tagged, so wouldn't appear until checked.

Now that I've got Open Subtitles working, my server is filled with subtitles downloaded for my stubs. It's a stub, so of course it doesn't have subtitles, but the file that replaces it may or may not. It's pointless to download subs that might just end up getting deleted when a real video file replaces the .disc file.

Can you set the video length format to hours and minutes on all platforms? Android mobile has hours and minutes, but Android TV has just minutes. I'd rather not have to calculate hours every time I view the video length.

Just reinstalled all my Emby server and Emby clients on phone and Apple TV got a fresh start On iOS Emby client I get the full TV guide and can make recordings and can beam these to the televisions On the AppleTv app when I select iptv and channels it used to spin a while and show the channels. Now it spins and the client just crashes so can’t just go direct to channels any more have to beam from my phone which is a real pain. Is there a way I’m Emby server to tell it not to look at the tv seasons and movies in the iptv list without using a proxy or m3u editor Wayne Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In Movies libraries, on the top bar I have options for "Movies", "Suggestions", "Trailers", "Collections", "Favorites", "Genres" and "Folders". In TV libraries, this becomes "Shows", "Suggestions", "Upcoming", "Favorites", "Genres", "Networks", "Episodes" and "Folders". I'd like a Collections option for TV libraries as well. Otherwise I have to go to the Collections library which also contains all my other collections, making it harder to find the collection I want.

I sometimes enter my movie library with the desire to watch a movie but no real idea about what movie I would like to watch. Currently I can browse from a-z or z-a or by date added or by genre or by date released or maybe a few other choices but that means I am limited to seeing my movies in just a few orders and I see the same movies first in each sort every time. While that may seem like a good variety it really limits browsing and also means that some movies are always late in the browse. I have a library of well over 3000 movies and it sometimes takes a long time to find a movie to watch. What I would like to have is the option to present the movies in a random order that is different each time I browse. That way movies that I usually do not get to browse might show up earlier. I do NOT want random play I just want to be able to choose to browse my movies in a random order. I would really like this on the Roku client but I believe if it were implemented at the server then it would be easier for the clients to implement it.

Probably not the best title nor do I know if this is an Embuary issue or just an issue. I've been having this issue for a while now and I'm just getting around to posting it. We watch a lot of TV and when we're done with the episode we'll delete it. The deletion seems to work fine. The problem arises when I delete the last episode of a show. The episode will delete but the show image stays in the list of shows even though there are no episodes in there. Once I click in and back out of the show it disappears. It's like something is just getting stuck and when you click on it then it realizes it should be gone and disappears. Any ideas what might be causing this? Like I mentioned, I am using Embuary, so maybe it's a skin issue? Maybe?

What’s happened to the playlists in Emby? They’ve disappeared??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello I had already talked about it, but it would be nice to be able to disable the "download to" function while keeping the "download" function. Because any user can send downloads to other users' devices. Or, users would only see their own devices, not those connected to other accounts.

Hi there, Here’s a photo of the wrong aspect ratio of YouTube videos that play inside the Emby app for iOS, it’s been like this since version god knows?? Please fix?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
