Hi guys, I have just bought the EMBY premiere and am very excited to utilize the emby theater for windows (both desktop version or the Microsoft store version are tried). I have triggered the HDR button in the Windows settings-display (Windows 11). For hardware, my GPU is RTX4090, my CPU is i9-13900k, and my monitor is ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM which is officially announced to support HDR10/Dolby Vision display. I don't use transcoding because my NAS is Synology DS923+ which doesn't even have GPU, so I have disabled such function, which means all the video streaming is "direct play", which has been illustrated in the status nerds tested before. All these are the preconditions. What I want to ask, just as the title said, is that can the Emby Theater for windows correctly play HDR content based on these conditions? The HDR includes all the HDR format, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, etc., depending on what the video naturally is. What the "correctly" mean is that color is correct in HDR format (I remember is BT2020 for HDR10 or anything else), instead of auto tone-mapping to another format like SDR format (Because I see the feature provided by Emby premiere: HDR Tone Mapping When Transcoding ). Such a feature is absolutely important because we could realize HDR content playback on platforms that do not support HDR display normally by mapping the color space, that is what I understand. If the answer is "yes", I could be relieved to use the default and matched emby app to play back all the 4k Blu-ray disc with very high quality (BDMV, bluray folder or iso) stored in my NAS/ Emby server, instead of using external players like potplayer. You know, it feels tedious and not very good. So anyway, could anyone tell me about the questions above? I am afraid it could be a little bit messy because answers may be different for different HDR formats, like HDR10 and Dolby Vision. I appreciate any of your patience and help!

When there are multiple built-in subtitles in a media, the language subtitles you set cannot be loaded correctly This is the problem video I recorded https://emby.media/community/uploads/monthly_2021_09/1553262833_bandicam2021-09-1311-09-27-524.mp4.4a891473968b78d2bd86157ef5a1e95e.mp4 This is my video sample https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1D8FKhGPIviEya0cIGVAilg9emGhTZPMl?usp=sharing When I was using the beta, I still couldn't solve the problem https://www.dropbox.com/s/77rxtiuexrsnlf9/emby-theater.zip?dl=0 You need to manually turn off and enable subtitles to display normally

Hi All, Looking for some advice please. With the exception of the old standard MS Media Center remote control (I have a whole box of these), can anyone make some recommendations for a simple user friendly remote control? This is to be used on an Intel NUC system for navigation in EMBY Theater for Windows and is for a non IT savvy family with kids. I'm assuming that directional arrows, back button, and enter are the only command requirements for using EMBY Theater, so something as streamlined as an Apple TV remote is what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance to anyone able to advise.
