Hey i have tried looking but cant see anyone asking for this yet unless i have missed it somewhere. would it be possible to have an added control to the admin pre-sets for other users for the way there layout is set up. this would be for users that use the tv mode vertical or horizontal. currently admins can pre-setup certain configurations for users but one that cant be done is to have a default setting for horizontal or vertical layouts.

I run Emby Server 4.7.8.0-704070800 on a 4-disk/RAID-10 Synology NAS DS918+ (DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 1) It serves as backend to LAN clients running Kodi 19.4/Linux with Emby for Kodi Next Gen v7.9.4 plugin. Everything works as expected; zero problems serving up videos. One minor issue that I've been trying to 'solve'. If I launch a vid (either in client Kodi player, or in client browser to Emby webUI) and hit 'pause' -- so the movie's queued up to play, but not streaming -- I notice regularly repeating 4-disk access. Every few seconds, all 4 of the NAS's disk-LED's blink and I hear disk access. This will simply repeat forever, until I 'stop' the movie, rather than just 'pause' it. I turned on debug logs to take a look, and see: with access from Kodi client, ``` ... 2022-10-30 19:33:17.791 Info Server: http/1.1 POST http://‌10.0.9.18:8096/emby/Sessions/Playing/Progress?CanSeek=True&QueueableMediaTypes=Video%2CAudio&IsPaused=True&ItemId=47937&MediaSourceId=7a...d6&PositionTicks=100000000&RunTimeTicks=63149443359&VolumeLevel=100&IsMuted=False.

Something constantly polling for progress? Is this expected/normal behavior for Emby? (How) can this be disabled, or tamed?

Hi team, I setup password for my admin user login. but when try i login, it didn't accept my passwrord. Hence tried to reset password i got a promt to check for the following location "/var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var/passwordreset.txt". I got the below detail I can see the below detail in the txt file ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://localhost:8096/web/forgotpasswordpin.html Enter the following pin code: 7960 The pin code will expire at 31 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But i remember my Pin, need to reset only password. If i remember correctly i can use the pin to login when i'm inside network but required password if i'm trying to access emby out of the network.Please advise. Thank you.

I have an Ubuntu server running the emby server docker container. Just spun it up yesterday. My password worked no problem. Today, I tried to log in through firefox on another linux machine, and my password doesn't seem to be working. So I decided to try resetting my admin/user account password by clicking the "Forgot Password" button. When I clicked the button, it prompts me for a username. When I type the username and then hit "Submit", nothing at all seems to happen. What can I do to troubleshoot this further so I can get access to my media server again?

I would like to request that the back-end dialog to remove a library folder from emby include explicit wording that the files themselves will not be removed or deleted. It is currently unclear and could give much pause. Server... Library... Hamburger on particular library... Remove... (it may exist elsewhere as well)

Ok, I have to big problems one is I cant get remote play to work and the second is some how my video buffers when Im watching the video on the server its self with no one using it. Now with the first problem I did port forwarded and also made the firewall rule (8096). When put in the remote server on a device it tells me to login, but my password doesnt work so I hit reset password then it makes a txt file in appdata/roaming ect and I hit the link and type the code. After that it tells me to login with a blank password so I go to the login page with no password and then the site tells me "invalid password or username" so now im stuck into a infinite loop. Any help? Next the second problem well it speaks for its self it shouldn't buffer when its literally pulling the file from the same device

Library folders in my admin panel don't have images anymore since a while. So i've tried to add them manually, however when i click on "Edit Images", the loading icon appear (And never fade-out) but the popup for editing the images is never shown. The only library with an image is the "Auto generated library" called Collection créated by the plugin Auto Box Set. When i clic on "Edit Images" for this item the popup appear as expected. The only error i've managed to found is displayed in the browser console when i click an the menu item "Edit Images". Uncaught (in promise) Error: null itemId at ApiClient.getItem (apiclient.js?v=3.5.2.0:1) at imageeditor.js?v=3.5.2.0:1 at Object.execCb (alameda.js?v=3.5.2.0:1) at defineModule (alameda.js?v=3.5.2.0:1) at Object.depFinished (alameda.js?v=3.5.2.0:1) at alameda.js?v=3.5.2.0:1 Tested on Chrome 69 and firefox 62.

I just installed version 3.5.2 on FreeNAS which I had to install from scratch, so I'm building up some playlists again. Part way through making playlists, I decided to take a more secure approach and create a separate admin account from my viewing account (which now has no admin rights). I noticed that once I took away admin from my viewing account, I have a more limited list of actions I can perform on my playlists; specifically image and metadata editing are missing. Some functions such as 'subtitles' maybe should require an admin because that would affect global content. As I understand it, the playlists are owned by my viewing account and even the admin doesn't see them when I login under that account. Since my viewer account owns the playlists, it should have full admin rights to modify it. Viewer's menu Viewer(with admin rights)'s Menu I didn't find any other posts about this quirk. Is this intended or a bug?

I'm running an Emby server from home. I have a few friends that I have shared my server with. They signed up for Emby Connect accounts and I added their usernames via the Emby dashboard. I've noticed for some reason, no matter which user logs in, it takes them to a screen that shows every other Emby user that also has access to the server and you can simply click on one of the users and get access to their Emby account. Users that do not have admin access even appear to be able to select an account that does have admin access and can then access the dashboard. How did I achieve this state? Is it because I added them as users and not guests? None of their profiles have the "Allow this user to manage the server" box checked, so I don't understand why this is happening. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, Can administrators no longer set a max streaming rate for users? As you used to be able to go into the users profile via the admin dashboard then edit this user's profile, image & personal preferences & from there you could change their limit. I'm running version 3.2.10.0 I know you can do the streaming limit in playback settings from the admin dashboard but there are some devices on my server I wanted to limit to a set rate. Thanks, David.

Hello @all, I have an Upload speed of 6mbps but Emby only uses 4mbps no matter what transcoding and playback settings I choose. So, I tried a lot, including VPN access to the LAN, prioritisation of process and traffic but nothing worked so far. The google chrome browser is the culprit, it uses only half of the available bandwith of the media browser server! When using firefox it uses the whole bandwidth and so I have no annoying stuttering anymore. Anyone here who had the same problem? Thanks @EmbyTeam - You are the best!

Here are some Ideas that I thought I would throw out there. The ability for an admin to post messages to users. For example, as soon as a user logs on they will see a message saying something like " The Server will be down from 12AM to 8:AM for maintenance" or inform them of new features or new media added. It could be a message to multiple users or to a single user saying to not forget to do their homework, just whatever the admin wants to do. Also and ability to disable a user account after a certain time. When they log on it will pop up saying that it will log them out after two hours or at nine o'clock. and they will not be able to log back on until 3:30pm the next day. And finally it would be neat if we had a summary page for users like a history of what they've watched and when they watched it, how much time they spend logged in and watching media. etc. etc. I dunno, what do you guys think?
