On server build 4.9.1.80, media controls in notification bar (Android 16) using pause or stopped working. Emby on Google TV (all updated to lastest) will pause for a few seconds and then start up again. Using the stop button on media controls will stop the movie, and close the app, but then emby will begin playing in the background and stay that way, even though the Google TV main screen is displayed.

Hi, i am using Emby Server Version 4.9.1.80 and Android Emby App Version 3.5.12. All worked while using Android 15 on my Samsung S 24. It was using the Samsung DEX Desktop extention, where i can use usb to hdmi adapter to use external display. Now Samsung released the new One UI Version with Android 16. In this Android Version the external desktop extension is already inside Android. Starting the app and navigation works normal. Starting a movie also works. Video runs in fullscreen. But there are no controls to pause when the mouse pointer is moved. And also hitting space bar to stop is not working anymore. When going back (using the arrow in task bar) it switches to a black screen. There are the controls and they are working. I still can hear the sound of the movie stopping and starting. It seems like there are 2 different layers and they are in the wrong order or something. Also when the emby app is in window mode (not full screen) the movie is playing and the black bars on top and bottom are translucent and you can see the desktop/task bar. I hope this helps.

Hi! @Luke, I am very disappointed with this latest Emby server upgrade. 1. The library scanning function has become unreliable. It now ignores .ignore files in directories and still adds media files that should be excluded. 2. The hardware transcoding option, which worked fine in the previous version, is now broken. The Intel QuickSync HD Graphics 610 option no longer works, forcing the system to use software transcoding. and only the VAAPI HD Graphics 610 interface allows for hardware transcoding. 3. There are also problems with the filtering feature. When filtering for unwatched content, some watched items are incorrectly included. I cannot tolerate this new version and have already reverted to version 4.8.11.0. I no longer have the energy to participate in the improvement of your product. Original text (Chinese): luke我对这一次的Emby服务端升级表示很失望。 1.扫描库功能变得很不靠谱,扫描对目录中出现的.ignore文件无动于衷，依旧添加了应该被排除的媒体文件。 2.上个版本还好端端的硬件转码选项,这个版本我Intel QuickSync HD Graphics 610选项失效了,变成软件转码了。只有VAAPI HD Graphics 610 接口的能硬转了。 3. 筛选功能也出了问题,筛选未看过其中会混入一部分已看过 我受不了这个新版本,已经换回4.8.11.0版本,我也已不在有精力参与你的产品改进了

升级系统版本4.9.1.80后，我增加新的影片进行手动扫描媒体库后出现大量影视信息和海报图片丢失问题，经过检查影片信息文件、图片文件都在，但系统没有读取出来，请尽快解决！ embyserver25104.txt

Subject: Bug Report - Incorrect Subtitle Language Selection during Transcoding in Emby Dear Emby Team, I am writing to report a bug I encountered while using Emby. When transcoding a HEVC MKV file with multiple language subtitles (including Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese) into an AVC MP4 format on the Emby server, the extracted subtitle is not in my preferred language. I prefer Simplified Chinese, but after transcoding, only Traditional Chinese is provided. This issue affects my viewing experience, and I believe it would be beneficial to have the option to select the desired subtitle language during the transcoding process. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a resolution in future updates. server log and ffmpeg log is here. Check the log, Both Chinese Simplified Chinese subtitles and Chinese Traditional Chinese subtitles seem to be named chi.vtt, and I think that's why. Best regards, jacksen168 Original (Chinese): 主题：错误报告 - Emby 转码期间字幕语言选择不正确 我写信是为了报告我在使用 Emby 时遇到的一个问题。当在 Emby 服务器上将内封有多国语言字幕（包括简体中文和繁体中文）的 HEVC MKV 文件转码为 AVC MP4 格式时，提取出来的字幕不是我喜欢的语言。我更喜欢简体中文，但转码后只提供了繁体中文。 这个问题影响了我的观看体验，我认为在转码过程中增加选择所需字幕语言的选项会很有帮助。 感谢您对此事的关注。我期待在未来的更新中能解决这个问题。 日志在这里,检查日志。貌似简体中文和繁体中文都被命名为了chi.vtt,我觉得这可能就是原因。 embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-90618fd4-b8a5-465c-9f4b-7a1cd8018d59_1.txt

Request to move the settings bar/quick settings back to the lower side of bar so that the brightness bar can be usable like in the old UI(pic1). Also, request to add back double seek if it has been removed, if not, it's not working. (taken from celsian post) New UI

Some of the TV series not working in apple tv emby version 1.8.0 released on December 1st 2023. Things were working fine before. Please fix this issue.

I've recently started getting this error from clients playing content remotely. What happens is that after ~30 mins of playback, their video streams pause for an undetermined period of time. After a while, they resume, or if the user steps back a few seconds it resumes too.I finally was able to get my remote user to tell me whilst it was happening, and grabbed the following from the log: I'd love some assistance here.

In the Android app on my tablet (Google Pixel C with Android 8.1.0), if I set the Play On to the instance of Emby on my Roku stick, and then select a video to play on it, a transport control bar appears at the bottom of the tablet screen. However, it is displayed underneath Android's own navigation bar therefore cannot be accessed. Trying to touch one of the transport controls or the playlist icon, results in the Android navigation button being selected instead. A lot of apps cause the Android navigation bar to slide out of the way when the app is in fullscreen and allow it to be brought back with a swipe. See attached screenshot. Server: 4.6.4.0 Emby Android app: 3.2.05

I am painstakingly remapping most of the channels. Apparently, the EPG resources received from my provider didn't have enough information to work properly. Now that things are coming along well, there are two things that must be fixed with the Roku version of Emby. There is a serious bug where when I scroll down the guide, I can't immediately access the menu by pushing the left arrow on my remote. I'm forced to completely exit out of the app and go back in. This is unacceptable to have this bug exist for so long. Another problem I found that when I'm finished watching a channel, and I click back, the guide doesn't populate. I get a blank screen and navigate between menus, then come back to guide before they repopulate. Anybody who actually uses the Ruku version of this app should understand what I'm talking about. Second issue is, why on earth did you not able the ability for us to use voice search? I should not have to type out every single letter when searching for a show or movie!! That is also not only unacceptable, but it's also primitive!! I felt like I was typing on my old flip phone. Pleas work on that!! Please also observe the second screenshot below When we're remapping channels, PLEASE, PLEASE! Allow for predictive text!! Depending on the source EPG we use we are forced to manually search and read everything on the list, because they are not all always in order. It's bad enough we have to do this manually, at least make it easier for us. I don't understand things like these that can make a user's life so much easier are not enabled! I don't mean to complain, but this is ridiculous! It's a lot of work man!!!!

The XiaoMi 11 Ultra has 2 screens, the main screen and the back screen near the camera, while playing video in emby, the main screen is black but the back screen is on and playing the video, while other players like Plex or MXPlayer etc. doesn't have the problem。 What should i do？Please help me！ Thank you for your support！ mmexport1655125476470.mp4

option for QUICKLY viewing tv guide without stopping the video in emby for android app currently this feature only exists on emby for android tv but is nowhere to be seen in emby for android. i would use emby for android tv but it keeps crashing every second time i open it. the other good thing about emby for android tv is i can see even more channels while in the quick view tv guide that is displayed over the video.

In the Android app on my tablet (Google Pixel C with Android 8.1.10), if I set the Play On to the instance of Emby on my Roku stick and then select a video to play on it with the Play button then while it's playing, browse to another video and add it to the queue with Add to Play Queue or Play Next, the second video replaces the currently playing video and starts playing straight away instead of being added to the queue. Server: 4.6.4.0 Emby Android app: 3.2.05

Guys I know you're trying hard but I'm getting a little tired of the buggy stuff that seems to come out a lot...it's not feeling very polished and I'm kind concerned over the quality of what's going on. I've just noticed a new "tile" called Favorites which I think is a response to my earlier post on how I lost my favorites because of tags/blah blah but it just doesn't work any more in Theatre. take a look at my screen shots My Movies "Favorites" list ALL my movies (every single one of the 4000+ library). I only have around 40 favorites in my list. TV "Favorites" lists nothing....nil....zilch....nada... and I'm supposed to have around 12 TV shows Sorry to sound grumpy but I kind of am as I'm get tired of the bugs etc. Could someone please have a look at this? Everything works as expected on the browser version. Cheers

first ones the video themes. It seems that it plays the actual video instead of playing it in the background example:- Screen_Recording_20210412-033132_Emby.mp4 next ones the subtitles. For some reason, when you initially start a video, the subtitles tend to look very oddly generated but a quick restart of the app fixes it examples initially starting a video (the opening/intro subtitles gets jumbled up too) after a quick restart of the app This ones again with the subtitles. Sometimes, the complex styled subtitles tend to glitch out and never show up (the dialogues do show up after this specific opening) example Screen Recording 20210412-035313 Emby-1.mp4 sample video https://mega.nz/file/wkAwBJSQ#9XZtCTDzdnsxnC0baqmBHfMnn7jVV3ya7wBvNsYyQJY (skip by 10 seconds) I ran all the videos listed above in galaxy s10

Hello I've been testing the linux server and while Emby is great it seems to lack some basic functionality that other software has. First off, the Now Playing screen should have a quick hot link in the left pane to avoid navigation confusion. There is lot's of clicking involved in Emby to find things and to get the logical view of things. Navigation UI improvements could be done to streamline the experience. There is no shuffle option on the Now Playing nor is there a randomise order or remove duplicates option for the play queue. It would be useful to be able to manage the play queue more during playback. Auto tagging is a loose cannon. Seriously the feature is a mess maker. I have music in thematic folders which contain artists and so on. Emby sees the top folder as an album and desperately tries to name it despite it not being one. This causes chaos in tags. There should be an option to tag a folder as a folder not a metadata "object" and leave it alone. Images - uh this just does not work well at all, images keep changing on their own, reverting back to what they were and just a global mess really. Artwork does not really load from the web either despite plugins present. I have to do a lot of manual image uploading. There should also be an option to edit images in several files at once with the multiselect file option. Subtitles - a simple option to browse and load srt would be spot on, having to manually edit each subtitle file name is silly. Web streaming - a Youtube / web link plugin would be nice. Not to mention hooking up Netflix and so. Dashboard - continue listening does not load at all as a section Overall kudos for the work guys but still lot's to do. Given the lack of these major features for me I won't be buying the license until there is some further improvements as the product seems incomplete. The inability to test the apps before purchasing the license is also a bit unfair, how can I make a purchase if I haven't seen the whole product? A 1 week trial would suffice. Now que on backlash from my post ;)

Before I start, I'll explain what I mean by "without giving any reason why" usually when it starts to transcode, it would give a reason why like this (check the blue circling) Note:- I've forcefully made this video to transcode in the above picture by reducing the bitrate so that is not a bug but in this case, it doesn't this could be a bug so I'm just reporting that Now, I have no clue as to why this video transcodes while other videos with the same format doesn't. It's definitely not the subtitles or the audio because I've reencoded the video to HEVC and the audio and subtitle plays directly. Here's the logs ffmpeg-transcode-f5e334ff-98b7-4cd7-85d5-aeab259c3705_1.txt Here's the media info mediainfo.txt And here's the sample video Flowers of Evil - S01E01 - Flowers of Evil 1 of 13 (1)-001.mkv Ran with galaxy s10 on Emby android 3.1.94

The default audio stream is flac, and it will be stuck at 0 seconds during playback. After forcibly forwarding, it will make an unknown huge noise. Switch to other audio tracks and then switch it back , then strangly it becomes normal as usual. Wonder why? Everything is normal with the old client which is not replaced with the core of exoplayer. I was wearing a Bluetooth headset and suddenly encountered that loud noise (more than the maximum volume, I don’t know why), and I felt as if deaf... I have tried multiple different videos on multiple devices, with latest version of Android app, as long as it has multiple audio tracks and the default audio track is flac, it performs oddly as above, and single audio track files are not affected.

Hello I recently updated from 4.4.3.0-1 to 4.5.2.0 and since then im hitting a couple of weird issues with my TVShow library. I have deleted the library after the updated and re-created it, but the issues are still there. Also, I didn't attempt to rename any show yet, some of them have been working well before, and some issues don't even make sense. Disclaimer: I'm trying to explain the issues as good as possible, without leaving any important information out. But its hard to explain things that don't really understand. In order to explain the issues, i will write down issues in different scenarios. That said, all scenarios happen at the same time! I did many library rescans and Meta-Refresh without success Also, "Showtitle" is a placeholder, each "Showtitle" per scenario counts as unique folder. Scenario 1: Issue: episodes from Show 2 are detected while episodes from Show1 are not detect. Scenario 2: Issue: None of the episodes of "Showtitle1.Complete" are detected Scenario 3: Issue: none of these show have episodes detected Scenario 4 Issue: after scan, all 3 TVshows show up as TVshow in the library. At first I assigned an IMDB-id to "Showtitle.3" which as detected well. Secondly, I assigned an IMDB-id to "Showtitle.II" which detected as well, while the library folder for "Showtitle.3" disappeared. I assigned an ID to the last "Showtitle.1.Ep01-13" which caused "Showtitle1.II" folder to disappear, and the show only to be found in "Showtitle.1.Ep01-13". I cannot find any of the other two folders in the library anymore and the meta-data is only available for "Showtitle.1.Ep01-13" while the others are lost in nowhere. Also with all these 3 folders merged. I have only 1 episode detected > see scenario 5 Scenario 5 Issue: Only Episode 1.Bonus is detected and displayed as "S01:E13 Bonus", all other episodes are missing

There are no issues with video playback except for anime ASS/SSA subtitles and the chapters, these are mostly minor. The ass/ssa signs look a lot more brighter at times and the syncing for the sign text are a bit off by a second, these are minor and don't really affect the experience but it's still a bug. now for chapters, the name of the file isn't shown when you click a specific chapter scene for example (check the circle) Now for the music playback, the only issue I have for this is that the seek does not work, it would stop playing the file or completely closes it example Screen Recording 20201201-082731 Emby 1-1.mkv yes, same applies to the beta version. is it possible to go back to the older player that is mpv? running this on samsung galaxy s10

Hello, I’ve noticed some weird issues with Playlists happening with Emby that I’ve not had happen before and it’s making playlist use very difficult and unpredictable. I’ve really tried to work to figure out some pattern to the issues and I’ve included that below. I’m sorry it’s a little difficult to explain and I’ve tried to be as clear as I can. I hope it’s OK. I primarily use the Roku app right now and cannot say if it affects other platforms. The first is related to a bug that I reported sometime back. When you click the play button on the Roku remote when you’re in the full list of items in one’s playlist, instead of playing the playlist from that point, it throws you out of the Emby app altogether and to the Roku Home Screen. Because you cannot click the play button within the playlist, you have to click on the playlist item (center of the d-pad on the remote), which takes you to the episode/media info page. If you click on the play button from here, the playlist does not play through as it should (continuing to play through each item on the playlist till it gets to the end). It will mostly just stop at the end of the season (despite the fact that there are all the seasons added to the playlist). And if you choose the “play repeat” option, it will only repeat from where you start playing in the season to the end and back to the one that you started with. For instance, if you start on Episode 9 of an season with 10 episodes in it, the playlist will play episode 9 then go on to episode 10 then stop. If you choose the repeat play option, it will repeat episode 9 and 10 over and over and over. Previously, the play-repeat button just allowed the playlist to play completely through everything on the playlist then start over. So, there is an odd thing right now where playlists aren’t looking at what’s on the playlist itself, but what’s in a specific season. Additionally, I’ve learned how to add items to a playlist one season at a time so that it adds everything in airdate order -at least if you have it setup to show “specials” in the season in which it played. So, one show in particular has one special at the end of every season and it’s setup in the playlist just that way so you see everything how it should be in the storyline. I noticed that on this playlist, it will do exactly what I said above - if you start on episode 10, it will play episode 10 then go onto the special. If you have the play-repeat option selected, it will replay episode 10 and the special over and over. However, this is where it gets weirder. If you start on the special in the playlist (between episode 10 and episode 1 of the next season), instead of playing on to episode 1 of the next season as it is in the playlist - it’s skipping ahead and playing the next special in the specials season. This means that Emby is somehow not looking at the playlist order at all but it’s somehow reading from the season (specials or season 00) that the special was originally in. It did this for at least 5 specials in a row - skipping over all the episodes between them in the playlist and just going from special to special. Again, this is only happening when you start on the specials. But the playlist is stopping at the end of whatever season you start in (including playing the special at the end by airdate) if you start earlier in the season. It appears that even though the items are in playlists, Emby is still reading them as though they were in seasons only and it’s not reading the order of the playlists themselves. And it’s doing that differently, depending on what episode you begin playing from. As you can imagine, it means that using playlists are virtually not usable at the moment. I should also mention that all of the above is happening in the current stable Roku app version. In addition, there’s another glitch/bug in the Playlist section of the Emby app (this time, in the beta 3.0.198 and newer) that I noticed the other day and another poster mentioned in the post thread re: the first bug mentioned. Now, when you’re in a playlist and click down to show all of your other episodes/media in the playlist, you get nothing. You cannot see any of your playlist items in the Roku app at all. The only thing you can do is to play all from the beginning - nothing more. I’m only mentioning it because it’s related to the Playlists not functioning properly and I thought it might be helpful to have the info together. I switched over the Emby because the Playlist features and options are light years ahead of Plex, where I came from. In addition, the Dev team here with Emby actually gives a care and listens to what Emby users are asking for. That makes all the difference. I know that bugs happen, which is why I’m trying to help as I run across them. I’m really hoping that these playlist glitches will be able to fixed. We use the playlists literally daily and I’m really missing being able to play through a playlist. We want to be able to start playing the playlist later in the series and then use the play-repeat function to have it start back over at the very beginning. That way, you don’t have to start with the same early episodes each time and still have it continue playing. I wish I could actually do more to help fix it, but I’ll continue to test as much as I’m able.

Hello, I’ve been able to reproduce this same behavior now at least 10 times now across two different Roku players (a Roku Ultra and a Roku Streaming Stick+) and different playlists/media. When you navigate into the Playlists section>click on a playlist>press the down button to bring up the episodes>pressing the play/pause button while any of episodes are selected>immediately throws you out of the Emby app altogether and back to the Roku home screen. I think that most people would assume that one could press the play button while an episode is selected to immediately play the list from that point (rather than having to use the d-pad to first view the episode information and then play from there). Could someone please take a look at this? Often times, I know exactly what episode I want to start on and I don’t need to view all the synopsis info and would love the ability to just click the play button and have the playlist play from there. And, at the very least, I’m hoping that it can be fixed because when I do accidentally hit that button, it gets really tiring of getting thrown all the way back out of the app and to the Roku home screen. It takes awhile to navigate back to where I was. Please let me know if you need more info. I did attempt to update all the Roku software on both units today so it’s running the latest version of the standard Roku app (not the beta). Thanks so much!

Hey devs, I found a couple of bugs, hopefully you'll fix them ASAP: 1. Open the app, and start playing a video that is at least an hour long, then start playing the video at some timestamp that is over an hour, then look at the notification that in the notification drawer, you will see that only the minutes and seconds are displayed on the timestamp, not the hours. Here is a screenshot of it: (I'm at position 2:00:27) 2. on the mobile app, you are given an alternative way to set the volume and brightness by dragging up or down on either the left or right side of the display, if you change the brightness (left half of the screen) through that method, a box pops up showing you the brightness, however, doing so with the audio (right half of the screen) gives no box indicating the volume level.
