  1. When you try to add new items to playlists "imported" to Emby as m3u files, they do not show up in the "native" Emby playlists listing as options to add to. Apparently, only playlists actually created within Emby will allow you to add new material to them. "imported" playlists CAN be converted into "native" playlists by adding an "imported" playlist to a newly created playlist. Emby will add all the items from the "imported" playlist to the newly created "native" playlist, then the old "imported" playlist file can be deleted. The specific steps are outlined below: I navigated to HOME>MUSIC>PLAYLISTS, where all the "imported" & "native" playlists appear together (Master Listing). I selected one of the "imported" playlists, then clicked the ellipsis (...) to get to the "Add To Playlist" option. From the "Add to Playlist" screen, I created a new playlist. I had to repeat the navigation from home>music>playlists to get the new playlist to show up, but there it was! it had the same number of items & in the same order. The new PlayList also now shows up in the "Add To Playlist" listing! However, there are now 2 versions of the same playlist showing up in the Master Listing. I had added a custom description to the Metadata of the "imported" playlist. It was a simple matter to edit the "imported" playlist metadata, copy the description, edit the new "native" PlayList Metadata & paste the description, then Save. Since I couldn't delete the "imported" playlist from within Emby (separate question in another post), I went to File Station on my NAS & moved the PlayList.m3u file to a non-Emby-Indexed folder (effectively deleting it from Emby, while keeping a copy). I had to Re-Scan the music library to get Emby to recognize that it had been removed. When I went back to the Master Listing I saw that the "imported" version of the playlist was gone & the new "native" playlist remained, with the same content. I was concerned that deleting the original playlist would also remove the items from the new playlist, since the "source" was removed. However, apparently Emby imported the individual items from the original to the new playlist, so the new playlist remained intact when the original was deleted. Voila!
  2. Hello. I recenrly switched to Emby from a Kodi+Plex setup. A unified library is really handy, and Emby for Kodi is miles better than PleXBMC, however, the mobile devices don't work as well. On this page it says that direct play is only supported with H.264 encoded video in .MP4, .MOV and .M4V containers, however, Plex offered direct playback of H.264 in an .MKV (it still had to transcode when selecting subtitles, even .srt's, but that's another story). Is this feature planned? I can just use Kodi on a jailbroken iPad, but the interface clearly wasn't made with touchscreens in mind. Thanks in advance
