​ ​ After a few months of happy Emby usage, having managed to create order to my media and collections and get Emby to stream it all nicely, i want to now take the next step which is to start having content streamed through Emby. How do I get Youtube, Netflix, iPlayer to stream through Emby? Is the only way of doing this through the PlayOn app, through a subscribed account? So it would be ditching my Netflix acccount by getting to get it through Playon at the same price? But then how do i configure it as the only thing that you can add is the IP in the settings? ITV seems to be the only channel with its own app although its not working. Any ideas why (See below)? ​Cheers 2016-03-13 00:18:34.2009 Info HttpClient: HttpClientManager GET: https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/categories/itv3/popular/catch-up2016-03-13 00:18:34.2018 Info HttpServer: HTTP Response 200 to 192.168.1.9.

I seem to have a general problem when installing add ons - it asks to restart the server at the end and it becomes unavailable for a long period. I have to restart the entire NAS to be a blue to get into embassy again. I also have a specific problem with the TV Themes add on - I have installed it but it will not download themes. I have checked that a trigger is setup. It also doesn't play a theme if I manually copy the theme into the drive and rename it theme.mp3 - I can see the file listed under themes but can't get it to play automatically Am I missing an obvious setting?

I was struggling to find the configuration settings for CoverArt today. I have been away for some time, and am new to the newest release of Emby and windows 10 (I have only ever used MediaBrowser). I spent over an hour looking for CoverfArt settings and realized something was preventing links from opening, as my server settings would not open (the settings tab next to the dashboard tab), which is the only place I had left to look for the Coverart Settings. Figuring that perhaps there was an installation issue, I uninstalled CoverArt and attempted to reinstall. The plug in would not open to prompt me to install it. Nor would any other plugins. I tried to 'open in new page' which worked, but it will not install. It just seems to lag out. I completely uninstalled my server and did a fresh install. Same issue. I cannot not open any plugins at all. Nor will the settings tab within my server open. Everything was working fine before I had a supporter issue and bought a new code. Ebr noticed I had done this and refunded me my purchase and provided me with my original code this afternoon, but I can't see how that would be associated with my current issue. However, it is the only recent change. If anyone needs logs you will have to tell me where to get them as I have only installed Emby for Windows and no longer have the Configurator, so I have no clue where they are stored now. Thanks guys!

This may seem like a ridiculous question, but how does one add a review for a plugin? I've looked in both the catalog and in my own list of installed plugins and can't find a way to leave a review.

As of version 1.0.1.73 some changes have happened with in the Vera Smart Home Automation Plugin. It now has more customization options. You are able to choose different scenes based on the type of media which is being play through Emby. Add your Device/Client name to your saved profile list (here I have added my Xbox One): After the profile has been added, you can select the profile button, and you will navigate to the new setup page: You'll notice that you can now select media types to run scenes from Vera. This allows you to choose different scenes based on what you are currently listening to, or watching in Emby. Simply leave the scenes empty to ignore those media types. There has also been a complete overhaul of how the plugin remembers saved profiles. So, it will be easy for the transition from the previous releases to this new one. This will allow you to run "Party Scenes" when listening to music, but dim the lights down when watching a movie! Note: PlaybackPaused and unpaused are currently disabled, but will be enabled in later releases. Enjoy! Chef

I looked through GitHub for the source code for the plugin for ServerWMC, but I was unable to locate the source. Has the source for the ServerWMC plugin been posted?

bear with me, here, please. this is my first time putting together a NAS, and installing plugins for my NAS. i'm using FreeNAS as my OS. in any case, i am having issues instally mb3 plugins as you can see in the attached image. i tried to install the anime plugin, and the restart plugin; but, it was a no go. i shutdown the mb3 server, and restarted it. still, nothing. any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. secondly, i'm not sure if the second attachemment is the result of not having the metadata or what not; but, i see no poster/image of said tv shows or movies. again, any assistance is appreciated. thank you.

Hello, This may sounds like a rare request but to each his own. I would like to keep the downloaded trailers, tv tunes, and themes files away from my movies and tv shows directory. Would it be possible to allow downloading these files to the same location as the thumbnails or custom location. I share my movies and tv shows folder with multiple different applications and don't want to add anything extra in the directories other than the movie/episode files and subs. MB may know what a "theme" file is but I doubt an application like plex or xbmc would know what to do with it. Thanks,

Hello! I've had this problem for...maybe a few months. When I first started with MB/Emby, I purchased the themes Roc and Crystal as part of a discount sale that was going. A few months ago, I reformatted my computer and - long story short - no longer have access to these themes. I figured I would be able to go into themes and possibly purchase them again, but they no longer show up in plugins in either the classic MB configurator or the WMC plugin. Are these themes still around? obviously, as I bought them, I'd like very much to use them, but I can't seem to find them. In older posts, the links for the MB store go nowhere (404/gone domain name) and I noted that there never seemed to ever be a MB store at all. Does anyone know where I can find these themes?

Where did the Plugins tab for Configurator 3.0.262.0 go? I wanted to add some more Windows games but I can't do it. Has installing Server 3.0.5572.0 screwed up Configurator? Help!

Can it be possible to store all extra features into another folder. Some of the plugins store backdrops and theme.mp3 in the same folder as the media. Can this be moved somewhere else and the reason why I ask is that I use kodi and plex for other things and they pick up those extras as movies in kodi or plex.

any chance of developing or option to use existing plugins, like KODY has, icetv, genesis, ororoTV...you know what I mean that would be really cool I love MB and I'm supporter, and would hate to install another Media Center software and switch between to use one or other function ( love the plugins in KODY but hate the movies and video libraries )

Is there anyway you could include support for notifications, either through a plugin or nativly, for XBMC's native JSON interface? It would be great to be notified when new shows are added right on my XBMB3C machine.

Hi All I have installed the Roco skin and registered the skin. But I have 2 issues with plugins I have listed the issues below: 1. I used to be able to have the box sets (collections) listed on the menu but it longer separates the box sets it puts them in with movies so it's very confusing, the same thing happens if I go back to crystal I have lost the collections (box sets) I have Auto box sets vers:1.0.0.2 installed 2. I also used to have trailerss for the movies but they to have gone none of the movies have trailers anymore. I have trailers vers: 1.0.5281.2007 installed. Can anyone offer help or instructions on how I may need to fix this issue. thank you in advance Brett

Is there a wiki, or something somewhere that shows the best Theme/Options to get MBC to look as close to WMC as possible? I'm loving MB so far, but am overwhelmed by the options/plugins/themes, and am also trying to keep the WAF as high as possible (so simple and stable). I'm wondering if there's a step by step somewhere, that I can get something like: How to replace the "Movies" in WMC so it goes to the "Movies" in MB How to change the MB list of Movies so it looks more like the WMC list of movies (just a simple list, no favorites, same blue'ish' background, and just one long list of movies) Thanks! Great software!

This came out of nowhere, possibly from the last update but I can't be certain. Any attempt to click on Plugin Catalog returns an "Internal Server Error" and nothing appears. This occurred soon after I left my "honest" reviews, coincidence or retaliation hmmm. (poor attempt at humor). Log MBServer: Version 3.0.5061.25570 Tested on Firefox 25, IE11

I have noticed when looking at the plugins on the server clicking on them gives no descriptions in some cases e.g Theme Videos Surely if I'm gonna pay I would like to know what I'm buying as "Theme Videos for TV Shows" just don't say alot. Even a link to here would be nice

Hey Guys, Just started setting up Mediabrowser 3 and looked in configurator to add my old themes etc but could not see coverart. Is it located elsewhere not so obvious?
