Hi Guys, I very much like the "Suggested" feature in the web client but there are two things that would be nice to have changed: 1.) "Suggested" should not show content that already has been played/watched 2.) It would nice to be able to scroll sideways so you can see more relevant/suggested content then just the first 7 (like you do in Netflix)

I was reading through the features that have been previously requested and one that caught my eye is this one: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/12878-mediabrowser-server-limitmax-video-quality-per-user/?hl=%2Blimit+%2Bbandwidth This request basically asks to enable a server side limit to ensure bandwidth is fairly allocated to users (to avoid stuttering) however I was thinking it might be neat to have the following: =============================================== A limit that would stop playback continuous playback and ask if a user was still there after XXX episodes of continuous playback. Ideally this would work where the server would have a setting that indicates "If no user input for <180> minutes than pause playlist after current track" the duration would be configurable however it is important that it be based on a time period and not a track play count (as someone could just put in a bunch of really long movies) and that it not stop the playback of the current track (as that would be super annoying for most people). The types of events would likely have to be things that happened in the client such as (pausing, starting, changing the volume, browsing the library, etc). The timer should be maintained per user on the server and should be reset whenever any client accessing that user account does something. At the end of the timer the playback should stop after the current item is finished playing. A prompt could be used to inform the user that the playback was stopped however playback should be able to be started by hitting play (hence also resetting the timer) and/or accepting the prompt (if used) Possibly an option to have a separate duration for music playback or to ignore this feature all together. I think that most users will find this to be a useful feature not just for server managers (in terms of electricity consumption from transcoding, and internet usage limits, and bandwidth) but also for each of the users (internet usage limits, episode watch indicators). ============================================== For me this feature would be helpful for users that hit play on an entire series and fall asleep after a while as it would cut down on internet usage (bandwidth and usage limits) and maybe even save a few pennies here and there from transcoding power consumption. It would also be beneficial for the users since if they were watching a season they wouldn't have to go back and figure out where they actually fell asleep as less episodes would be marked as watched for them.

Not a ground-breaking feature, but one that I think would come in handy, is some sort of 'share' link. A few times now I've wanted to show someone a photo or a home video, but I don't want to give out my username/pw for the web client. It would be very convenient to be able to click on a video or photo and have a link generated that would send the user to a page with only that piece of media, without having to log in. Just a thought.

The Web Client in any of my computers under any browser display the subtitles. But when I open the Web Client in a mobile device under the chrome browser app (for some reason I can't log in in the safari browser) never displays the subtitles. Both under the same user's settings. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Have an external family member trying to use the PS4 web browser which appears to be working pretty well except for one thing. When trying to maximize the video playback it doesn't appear to do anything and leaves the url bar showing in the web browser. Using other video websites on the device such as youtube allows the device to full screen correctly and removes the url bar. Not sure if there is any developers or other testers out there with a PS4 that could test this as I don't have this device directly in front of me that's about all the feedback I can report.

Not sure if something has changed server side with music videos, but my music videos are not displaying correctly (they use to), and I can't seem to fix it (probably something simply). I have the correct structure (artist folder - music video(s)), but this is how the web client is displaying my music videos When I click on one of them (they should all be folders), it takes my to this screen I have tried selecting 'split version apart', but that does nothing. Can anyone help?

I have the latest version (beta) of the server running on my HTPC at home. I have been trying to connect to it from work for a while now... in fact from even before the Connect feature came out. So far, I've been SOL. My HTPC is behind a router at home, and so I was very happy when Connect came out. But... When I go to app.mediabrowser.tv and sign in, I can see my server there. Clicking on it only spins the wheel for a few seconds and then... nothing. What am I doing wrong? Please, please, please help me out.

Just updated to server version 3.0.5441. In the photos section (web client), it looks like the photos won't display at all in the slideshow. When you click the player loads, but its just black, no image. Before this update, i noticed that the photo would display, but it wasn't the thumbnail I clicked on. The index was off by 6 or 7. Might just be something with my config, but figured it was worth mentioning. server-63552586802.zip

Hello Dev, I don't know if I am the only who is experiencing this issue but lately when I watch something the status doesn't change. I also noticed my content in trakt.tv isn't being updated as well. I don't have any logs to provide at the moment since I am at work but when I get home I will send one after watching something. P.S if I manually set the status to played in the web client it changes itself back to unwatched. It could be they are being overwritten by trakt.tv since I am getting a lot of failed 'sync library to Trakt.tv' notifications but none regarding 'Import playstates from Trakt.tv. Regards,

just got remote access set up and got my brother to test steaming a movie from my server via the web client. it works, but looks pretty grainy, meaning it's transcoding the file. I know you need to have your files shared for direct stream, so i have a couple questions: 1. Is sharing my media over my network on Windows 7 (right click -> share -> share "everyone") enough to make the folder shared over WAN? or is there a separate type of share for WAN? 2. Does the web client have the necessary codecs to play MKV H264 video and DCA or AC3 audio? If not, does it sound like getting my brother to download and use MBT (which I believe has the necessary codecs?) would fix the situation? I'll test it obviously, but I figured I'd ask since I'm posting other questions anyway. p.s. bandwidth definitely isn't an issue for either server or client. Thanks, thebro

Hello, I am experiencing an issue where the Season information is missing from the individual episode UI on the web client. As you can see in the screenshot, it shows "undefined" where it used to show "Season 1". Everything looks correct in the metadata and also in the overall Season UI, it's just missing in the individual episode UI. I am on version 3.0.5393.38626 Thanks!!

Does anyone know if you can change the default image for a folder within the photos section? On the web client, under my photos collection I have a number of folders, which all come up as a gray square with a little image of a TV on there. I know I can go into the metaData manager and change the image, but i have hundreds of folders. Itd be nice to change that default image in one place. I put on the CovertArt plugin, but I didn't see a Photos section in the config. Plus, while it made the web client look great, it kept crashing my MB3 Classic installs on all my HTPC's in the house. Had to uninstall..

Included these videos in the anime genre post but figured it would be okay to include only the videos in the Fan Videos section to showcase how Media Browser can be used for Anime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTMeb9IBN4I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYFgrQcLwZo

Hi, is there some way to set web client to play movies trough my own media player (ie. KMPlayer)? I mean when I'm on the same network at least. As I really don't like the design of MediaBrowser Theatre, and I don't want to install XBMC but I love the style of web client. I don't think its that hard, as you can have web shortcuts to steam, skype and other programs and on web client would be just one more button called "Play trough own media palyer". Ps.: if its in wrong part of forum, I'm sorry, but couldnt find anything just for web client.

I'm not sure if I'm just not understanding how the Artist vs Album Artist views are supposed to work, or if there's a problem with the server or web client or maybe this just isn't fully implemented yet. In the iTunes terminology, the artists are specific to songs but not every artists is on every song on the album, thus the album artist is the "primary" artist that's on the album cover. Is that the same intent for MBS? Example. If I'm in Album Artists and click on Dr. Dre I'm immediately switched to the Artists "tab" up top and looking at Dr. Dre. However it shows Albums (2) | Songs (6). Clearly under that (2) are 11 albums?! If I then click songs (6) I see 1-16 of 16?! It looks like the () counts are accurate for the album artist, but all the results are for Dr. Dre as an artist (Eminem albums and songs).

In the web client, under Upcoming TV, it shows tv from yesterday and today, and then continues each day, but near the bottom after 19/05/2014, it shows yesterday and today again, but different shows than were shown at the top of the page https://www.dropbox.com/s/kiiku7arcalvmed/Screenshot%202014-04-22%2009.29.58.png

Can we have an option to automatically mark the notification as read after opening the notification panel. Since some of the notification does not need any user action such as server updated notice, can it be automatically mark as read without clicking the mark these read button. Thanks.

My server is on the latest Beta version (5326.13255) and I'm having trouble accessing MBS from any of my other devices (iOS app, web client, etc), using either the internal IP address (192.168.1.x) or the server name "http://htpc:8096/mediabrowser/dashboard/index.html" A couple observations: My wi-fi network is working fine I confirmed in my router settings that my server's internal IP address hasn't changed I CAN access MBS from the server's web client using the internal IP address I can still access my server's shared folders through Windows Explorer. Web client, MBT working fine on my server I haven't made any obvious configuration changes to the server, added programs, etc in the last few days Would logs help? Happy to upload if so.

Hi there: Usual caveats - suspect I have something wrong, but can't spot it. What I want to do Find the TV series that having missing episodes and/or seasons. What I think should work Going to the MediaBrowser web client > TV > Episodes, clicking the Filter icon and selecting Missing episodes. What actually happens I get missing episodes, but for one and only one TV show. Note that the TV show in question is The Tunnel. Why I think it's wrong I can manually confirm other TV series that are missing either individual episodes or whole seasons. Below is an example of each Missing episodes in a season Missing seasons What I've checked The series are both 'identified' by MediaBrowser - I don't show it above, but they are shown as TV series, have theTVDB and IMDB id's, are happy as larry. I have "Download artwork and metadata from the internet" and "Save artwork and metadata into media folders" enabled I've restarted the server (software) Checked library scans are happening a-okay I've 're-identified' House, hit Save, done a media scan, and still no joy. I cannot find the "Import missing episodes into seasons" setting which is referred to in old blog posts and pointed to in most of the forum threads. Has it moved or been removed? Stuff and things Server: 3.0.5287.19943 Application: Web Client - no surprises it is 3.0.5287.19943 Log file attached log.txt

I would like to make a request for either a global auto-logout when the browser closes or even better would be a per-user setting to make them non-persistent. Example: I have 3 user accounts - Admin, Media, and Adult - and when the browser closes I would like Admin and Adult to force the next person (assuming shared login) to enter the account password if the last use was one of those restricted accounts. MBC already does this through a configuration setting that specifies the default login (in my case Media). Thank you!

Hi Guys, Since the last server update the collection/folder images on all but one of my folders has stopped displaying. I've tried everything I can think of including resizing the other images to match the one that is displaying and it's just showing the default image. On MBC it displays the correct image. Any ideas on how to fix?

Sorry if asked already, searched and couldn't find anything about Web Client. Is there a way to mark all Movies or TV Series as watched in the Web Client? Or do I have to mark them one by one? Library Z:\Movies Z:\TV Shows

What the heck is going on when you add a release date or edit date added in the web client. For example becomes: 02-01-2014 to 01-01-2014

I have server Version 3.0.5192.19560 and iOS 7.1 on both my iPhone 4s and iPad mini. I can successfully navigate the web client and dashboard on my iPhone, but not on my iPad mini. When I attempt to load the dashboard, the page begins to load and then jumps to the sign in page. When I click my user icon, a spinning circle pops up and goes on indefinitely. On my iPhone, sign in is successful and I can then move through dashboard and web client without any problems. When using chrome on my iPad, I can successfully sign in, but run into similar issues already reported of not being able to access any media due to a grey screen/spinning circle issue. Thus why I am trying to use safari. Any ideas as to why my iPhone would work and the iPad is getting hung up? Thanks. I have included the log file for the last few mins when I was able to sign in via iPhone, but then got stuck trying to do the same on iPad. server-63531772441.log
