Sometimes, I need to download a media (say, a movie) in advance but whenever I click the "Download to...", the drop down list only shows my phone but not the device I'm trying to download to (and that I'm actually connected to for the download). For example, I connect with my admin account on Firefox on my mac, choose a media and when I click "Download to...", I can only choose iPhone rom the list. Tried to click "Download" so it might trigger something and add the current device in the Download to list but no joy. Can you help?

Hey y’all, I have reason to believe there is a bug in the device names for the iOS app as shown below. It only applies to iOS device names and has the (%20) where the spaces should be. Emby Server: 4.6.0.10 Beta Emby for iOS: 2.0.2 non TestFlight release

Hello I'd like to know if there is a way to watch a video in one device while listening to its audio on another, in my case the server. Thank you!

When I try to send a message to a device it works for laptop/PC devices using the website but it does not work for a Smart TV (Roku). I've literally stood in front of the TV and from my phone sent a message to the Smart TV client and it did not come up on the screen while a movie was playing. This send message to device feature does work on Android Emby App (smart phone) and laptop/PC using the website. I am not certain if it works for Apple Emby App however as I do not have any Apple devices.

Checked the WebSocket wiki page. It shows to connect to a WebSocket you will require an API key and device ID I'm trying to get the device ID as soon as any user logs in to the server. Till now I got no response after WebSocket connection. here's my python code websocket.enableTrace(True) host = "xxx.xx.xx.xx" port = 8096 api_key = "xxxxxx" device_id = "xxxx" ws = websocket.create_connection("ws://{}:{}/embywebsocket?api_key={}&deviceId={}".format(host, port, api_key, device_id)) result = ws.recv() print('Result: {}'.format(result)) result = ws.recv() print('Result: {}'.format(result)) # Trying something from community... ws.send(json.dumps([json.dumps({'msg': 'connect', 'version': '1', 'support': ['1', 'pre2', 'pre1']})])) result = ws.recv() print('Result: {}'.format(result)) Result: --- request header --- GET /embywebsocket?api_key=xxxxxxxx&deviceId=a7650139abe6b220 HTTP/1.1 Upgrade: websocket Connection: Upgrade Host: xxx.xx.xx.xx:8096 Origin: http://xxx.xx.xx.xx:8096 Sec-WebSocket-Key: mHuOCG3yyL41uB7gk7fK8g== Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13 ----------------------- --- response header --- HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols Connection: Upgrade Upgrade: websocket Sec-WebSocket-Accept: Ta03Qfon0bEHLCQKG+0BtGNZXjQ= ----------------------- send: b'\x8a\x80\x93\tf\xe1' send: b'\x8a\x80\x13\xf8qB' send: b'\x8a\x80\xa3\xf3\xa1b' send: b'\x8a\x80\xa9\x87\xad\x9e' send: b'\x8a\x80@\x19\xa7\xa7' These send messages came after some time of no response. These are not proper Hex codes. IDK what they are. Requesting EMBY gurus to help me on this. I think I don't even know much about WebSockets

I'm using an ODROID C1+ with OpenELEC as a client device. This device is listed as 'Device X' and connected with the user 'A' with Emby. I'm also using different computers as clients. Everything is fine. I recently added a new client device, an ODROID C2 with LibreELEC. Let's say I call it 'Device Y' and I connect it with the emby user 'B'. The problem is that 'Device Y' doesn't list in emby devices and is not active. Even worst, when I reboot the server, it says that 'Device X' is connected with user 'B'. I can use both devices just fine but it's a mess since it changes the viewed contents of both users randomly. 'Device X' is local and 'Device Y' is outside homenetwork though. How to restart all the device ID's or what's the problem? I tried to change the MAC addresses but it doesn't work. Deleting the visible device in the list doesn't seem to work also. server-63619576295.txt

I currently have the MB Classic client installed on a windows PC connected directly to my TV using a media center remote, which works great. I am now looking for an alternative to using a PC connected to my TV, any suggestions? I have tried chromecast and Xbox One which work great, but streaming to my TV is not what I am after. I would like the full MB Classic experience on the TV as you have when using MB Classic on a PC. I know the Samsung TV app is in testing at the moment and will be the answer to my issue, just not sure if there are any other alternatives that I am not aware of? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I am trying to configure an Android Mobile app as a device on Emby server. First the device would show only it's original name, though I renamed it on the server by accessing ServerManagement > Devices After the device was renamed, server would not show it's correct new name neither on the "Send to" nor on the "Camera Upload". I deleted the device on the server hoping for it to reappear with it's original name on the device list. It would not. Now it will not show on the device list and it will not show on the "Send to" list. Even though I am able to use the device by itself. Is there a means by wich I can access this device configuration and make it show on the device list?

I reinstalled server v3.0.5597.0 beta due to problems i was having connecting with My Roku3. Now it is saying Server Not Found. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what might be wrong or how i can fix this. When i was using Server v3.0.5588.1 it was working for about 2months and then it just stopped working that is why i removed it from my Windows 7 PC and downloaded Beta Version. Any and All help is appreciated.
