The ASK - It would be outstanding if we could add a LastAccessedDate to the API calls for EMBY. One possible location could be GetItems, FIelds=LastAccessedDate. I do see that there is a Last Played Date that is recorded per an individual playing the content. This should make this a relatively "trivial" addition by defaulting the field to False and writing the Last Played Date to it anytime anyone plays the content. If you want to take it a step further, anytime anyone plays the content continuously for longer than X minutes. The distinction here is a global last accessed date independent of each user's current Last Played Date. The WHY - One of the staples of content management is the ability to determine an item's last access date as it determines the relevance of an item. Most of us do not have unlimited storage, which means if something has never been accessed or played in two years, it is evident that no one cares to have it on there; as such, it should be removed. This could also be helpful data to display internally for those not leveraging API calls. While PLEX did not have this data natively, the ability to pipe Tautulli into the system did allow you to have the data accessible in a programmatic way. The WORKAROUND - The only way I can see to accomplish this today (natively) would be to pull a list of all users. All of their individual last played data, combine, clean up the data, restrict to a date/time window of interest, compare with the entire list, and remove the difference. This, unfortunately, will likely be the path I head down as my need is more immediate. But what could essentially be a single line or two of code to accomplish has now become a multi-series set of loops to build a dataset that can be used for this purpose. I appreciate your consideration, and if I am missing something blatant, please let me know.

After the most recent updates, I have run into an issue with Emby Server 3.1.6007.33439. Emby Server seems to be binding to the wrong NIC - binding itself to the VMWare VMNet #1 Virtual Network Adapter (a VMWare Host-only Network) rather than to the physical NIC - ASUS PCI-E AC68 WiFi Adapter. This has rendered Emby Server inaccessible to anything on the local network (since VMNet #1 is a Host-only adapter). Disabling the VMWare Adapters forces it to use the WiFi Adapter but this has to be done every single time Emby Server is started. Is there a way to override which adapter is used while this is investigated? The OS is Windows 10 Pro (Insider Preview - Fast Ring but it did it on the Anniversary Release as well which stayed installed up to today) and it's only Emby Server which is binding to the VMWare adapters rather than a physical NIC. Other applications operating on the localhost are binding to the correct network adapter (the ASUS WiFi).

Anybody out there with experience with Android Widgets? I've done some work on widgets before, and if my schedule lightens up, I'd love to help develop widgets for Emby Android Mobile. Capabilities would include (but not be limited to) list of recent episodes in favorited series (rss style) and list of favorite movies (also rss style). Capabilities for admins would include server stats: storage quotas, cpu and memory usage, temperatures could be integrated with a future hwmonitor plugin, number of current users, number of current streams. All these items should be clickable directly to their location inside the app, but looking for feedback from any other devs with Android widget experience.

With the last couple of dev updates, my server software isn't updating, it just loads the last version installed. The only way I can get it to update to the latest version, is by installing the beta over the top

MBS doesn't detect chapter position with the latest dev version. It reads every chapter at 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on I know it's a dev version, just wanted to draw attention to it.
