Hey folks, I am looking to move over to Emby from Plex because I'm using a QNAP TS-231 which is notoriously bad for needing multiple daily restarts when using Plex. However, I have a Samsung UN55J6300 which I purchased less than a year ago. Sounds like I may be out of luck in running Emby? I'm pretty sure my Samsung OS is not Tizen. Any feedback?

Hi, I want to notify you that the problem in playing files with DV and HDR10 from Netflix has been solved in the new Beta version 2.0.87g. Here below I am going to attach the screenshots where you can see the direct play without any transcoding and the HDR10 working without problem: But also luckily I am being able to force my Emby server to use HLS play, in the files and contents that cause constant jumps and jerks in the images, and thanks to the playback with HLS the jumps and jerks in the images are totally solved in my OLED television, in the movies and television series that come from the Apple TV + service there are always jumps and jerks but thanks to HLS they are 100% resolved. Here below I am going to attach the screenshots where you can see the HLS playback solving all the jerks and jumps in the images and so I can enjoy a totally smooth playback: I wonder how HLS playback solves the jumps and jerks in the images on my TV? Mystery... Thank you very much! Greetings

Hey everyone, I just updated to 4.7.6 yesterday and it seemed to clean up any stuttering that was occurring on my end with h265 (hevc) files using Direct Play. (Xbox Series S was tested on) I’d have a look yourselves if any issues are still occurring. I’m still not sure what was causing the issue but it seems to be corrected on my end for now. Thanks for the hard work devs!

Hi there! I was facing some problem with my android google play store and getting error code 501 ...i tried different websites to get solution but haven't found any yet! if you guys know any solution to error code 501, please let me know.

I have quite a lot of shows that have ASS Subtitles in them. But the problem is that when I enable them my server immediately jumps to transcoding. Which sacrifice quite a lot of video quality. I have noticed that It does not do that in the mobile version.

Hello, I am having the following issue. At times when I am playing a 4K Video, the video is completely glitched out, sometimes with a green screen, sometimes with a black screen (audio remains fine). I can remedy the situation by disabling NVDEC and leaving it to use software decoding, but I don't like putting my CPU under that stress. The problem is not consistent with all 4K Video. I have attached an FFMPEG Log of a failing playback. Please let me know what other info would be helpful. This is on Emby Server 4.5.0.50 Thanks! ffmpeg-transcode-16c556b2-920d-4b15-8203-258337e73c69_1.txt

As you can see in the image below, Emby keeps misidentifying this show. The folder location is "\\server\Media\TV\Archer (2009)". Even if I manually identify it by utilizing the IMDB ID or TVDB ID, it will still populate with metadata for this other random TV show called "To Shoot Without Shooting." I've tried removing the faulty overview, faulty AniDB ID (7000), MyAnimeList ID (7477), and Zap2It ID (EP01216702), faulty Sport and Anime genres, and the faulty "People" that that it keeps inserting into it, but when I Refresh Metadata and have it only search for Missing Metadata, it reinserts all that faulty data back into. I've attached the logs for when I click on "more">Identify. How do I fix this? Edit: I was able to resolve this by re-prioritizing the Metadata Downloaders for my "TV" library. "AniDB" was #1 on all of them for some reason, so I moved it to last and now it's correctly identifying the show. embylogs.txt

When trying to navigate to some shows the roku app quits back to the roku home. What I've tested: * Remove roku app and reinstall * remove the device from devices in the server Neither of these worked * switch users on roku app - This stopped the app from crashing and worked fine. Attached images are from the user not working embyserver.txt Roku App Version: 4.0.4 Emby Server Version: 4.4.3.0

You guys finally got rid of that ridiculous bouncing effect in the iOS app. Thanks so much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hello, I seem to have difficulties getting a reasonable experience viewing photos through Kodi. Emby for Kodi 4.1.18 Kodi 18.5 on LibreELEC 9.2.0 (RPi3) Emby Server is 4.3.0.30 for Windows I originally used QNAP for our server however since it's specs are fairly garbage, I thought I'd try my PC as the server instead to see if anything changes but it appears not. This is all over LAN. When I go to Kodi's Pictures section > Addons > Emby and browse to the folder, I am unable to start a slideshow. It spins as if it's loading something, then a bit of time later the screen turns black and sometimes it crashes the Kodi (unresponsive, needs a reboot) other times I am able to back out to the menus. If you view the log during this it is filled with the following over and over for each (I suspect) image in the folder: 2019-12-08 00:25:00.408 T:1936829872 ERROR: Error loading the current image 117: plugin://plugin.video.emby/?mode=photoviewer&id=138 2019-12-08 00:25:00.408 T:1450652544 WARNING: CreateLoader - unsupported protocol(plugin) in plugin://plugin.video.emby/?mode=photoviewer&id=139 I've attached the entire log file too. It may not be related but also when I click on an individual image instead, I am unable to press left or right etc to move on to another image. I'd say this is a fairly natural movement when looking at images, so just curious regarding that specific point as it makes it additionally difficult to browse when slideshow isn't playing ball. I'd say the loading is also pretty poor for LAN, however with it being Kodi on a RPi3 and the nature of the whole linkage being somewhat "hacky-like" then I can live with that. I understand that Kodi has vastly different methods when it comes to Pictures and Music, but just thought I'd point it out if no one else has. It's one of the most important things I'd like to share with others, all of whom use Kodi as their media players (for various reasons). Thank you. kodi.log

App v1.0.61 Server 4.2.0.5 TV Samsung 2018 Q8FN Problem: After clicking FF or RW the movie will skip and the spinning circle starts. Then once the movie starts playing again the spinning circle starts up again and won't go away. Steps: Start movie Press FF/RW on remote Spinning circle starts and then stops Movie restarts and circle restarts and won't go away I'm thinking this is a bug because it only takes clicking FF/RW once. At first I thought maybe it was after clicking FF severl times, but it only takes once. The spinning circle starts, then stops, and then the circle starts again once movie starts playing again. I can reproduce this every time https://pastebin.com/nYWTamvs

At one time I know this was disabled due to issues but then it was fixed in an earlier release of the server...but now I am unable to play trailers in Kodi. The button is there, trailer plays fine in the web app...but not in Kodi. I get the little spinner for a second, then right back to the info page. Is it just me or are there still issues with this? Thanks.

On one of my systems, I upgraded from the 4.1.14 plugin to 4.1.16. Since doing so, it appears that "in-progress" videos are being automatically added to the video playlist. For example, I will select a video from the "Recently added TV Shows" section and play it. After the video ends, instead of returning to the main menu, Kodi plays another video that I did not select - but they always appear to be something that is "in-progress". Is this a bug in the new plugin? Or is there a setting I need to modify to prevent this behavior?

Weird problem. At boot of my Odroid N2s which are running CoreELEC 9.2 and the latest Beta Emby for Kodi, I see the same 5-10 Collections sync every time I restart the device. These are Collections that haven't had any content changes in ages, yet they sync every single time I restart. As it happens immediately at boot, I'm not sure the best way to go about pulling log files that would be helpful. Should I share my Emby server logs (Unraid) or Kodi logs? Thanks!

I have Kodi (4.1.16) via LibreELEC (9.2.0) on Raspberry Pi 2s and RPi 3s using Emby Server (4.3.0.20) as my back end. Running on Windows 10 on an Intel NUC. Lately, in the past couple of weeks, I've noticed some interesting behavior changes with Emby. When I completely finish watching a TV Shows in my library, meaning it goes to the end of the file/episode, it's restarts the prior item I watched from the last spot that items was started/paused. I'm not using a Playlist. For example: If I watch Gold Rush, and pause it at 20 minutes into the episode, then move on to American Horror Story and allow AHS to go to the end it will pick up Gold Rush from where it was paused (20 minute mark). It doesn't depend on whether or not I completed watching Gold Rush or not. Not sure why this is occurring. My initial thought is I have some settings that need to adjusted but I don't see anything obvious. I would appreciate any suggestion on how to resolve this. Thank you! embyserver.txt

Hi guys, having an issue getting kodi to sync with emby for first time in a new setup. Sync will crash a few seconds after starting with error message: "Something went wrong during the sync" Here are the logs:.http://paste.kodi.tv/awoworumox It seems to crash after syncing a few shows... Emby server is 4.3.0.30 (server recently re-built from scratch, emby apps running fine) Emby Plugin is 4.1.16 (but also tried 4.1.17) Kodi is 18.5 (Kodi able to access nfs shares that Emby is pointing to no problem) Running on Nvidia Shield Any help greatly appreciated!

Posting this for @@memc who provided information Problem: When using any of the Dark or Light themes the posters have no active border when selecting and the circle for posters with item counts are also missing the color highlight so they are hard to read. Problem does not occur when using other themes like Blue Radiance Problem was not there when using v1.0.64. All themes worked fine in 1.0.64 and can be verified when switching back and forth between versions TV JS8000 2015 App 1.0.67 Server 4210 Pic #1 using Blue Radiance, Movies library is highlighted Pic #2 using the Dark theme, No green highlight is seen with the active folder. Pic #3 using the Dark theme. Notice the green background in the circle is missing so you can't read the numbers very well. The background of the circle appears to be transparent on all posters and is hard to read This is using the Blue Radiance theme. The numbers are now readable and have a green background. Again this happens with all Dark and Light themes and was not there in version 1.0.64 Just a note I'm not seeing this problem with my 2018 Samsung, so this may be an issue with older TVs only. Maybe someone else can confirm

Hi, I have a quick question concerning remote control of emby for kodi. In other Kodi client apps, if i remote control them from a phone or emby theather for windows for exemple, I can choose the audio langage and the subtitle to use to play the file; If I remote controle a device with Emby for Kodi, the app doesn't care of the Audio and Subtitle I choose from the remote app. Is it a normal thing, is it possible to change a setting to make it like other apps ? Regards

Greetings, Out of the blue, Emby for Kodi is no longer able to log into my server. Instead of the welcome pop-up message, I receive an error warning, telling me to check my log. I haven't made any configuration changes recently and don't know what could have caused this. My log is attached. Thanks!
