Hi everyone. I've been a long time subsonic user and I'm considering switching over to emby. I've got my server set up and I've been using for a few days. I wanted to test it out before I spring for premiere. I'm running into some issues and have some questions I'm hoping more seasoned users can answer. 1.) it seems as though the queue is not maintained after the app is closed. If I leave it pause too long and it closes in the background, my play queue is gone. I am using the free version so maybe that's a function of premiere? 2.) it seems like song files are deleted immediately after playing the song. Is there a way to have it keep a certain amount? On Subsonic You can set the cache limit and it will keep that many songs. So you always have some available for offline listening. I see that with premier access you can manually download songs. But is that the only way to have them available offline? 3.) Is there no way to customize the context menus? There's a lot of options that I could do without and it would really clean it up. Any help or advice is appreciated.Thanks!

Hopefully I am not out of line here by posting this - if so please feel free to correct. I mean no insult... Brand new user of emby (long time user of Plex - sorry I said the "P" word) :0) Love this interface (new Roku beta) and its general design and functionality. Plex ain't got nothing on the music/queue side of what you all are trying to do. Hopefully the things I am going to mention aren't part of the "coming feature set". Again, If so, I am happy to shut up and wait. I am basically only using Emby and the roku preview app for music. I can't find anything else out there that has the queue option without the queue disappearing after selecting another song... or ... having to create playlists on the server side to use on the media stream side. In the latest roku preview (as of this post it is showing as 1.1.9.12) I can get the music playing and it loads images album covers for the music emby finds in my library etc but no matter what, when I am using it to create a queue, the interface locks up within a few minutes. Doesnt matter what I do... by "locks up" I mean the songs in the queue will continue to play but the arrow buttons on the roku 2 and roku 3 I am using (recently did a system update right before this post) cause the queue to either skip to the next song or go back to a previous song/replay if its at the first song. I can no longer navigate to find other songs to add to the queue. When I exit Emby on the roku and start again I get a few more minutes to organize a queue and then it locks up again with the same result. Not sure if its the preview app itself or the way I may have my server config'd or something else. I have my library for music organized a little different and so far I have tried several things: -put all single songs into a single folder - same results - this was the crash -create a single folder for each artist only and drop the songs of that artist in there -created folder structure by recommendations for Emby (artist\album\track) I have restarted the roku (which crashed once for the first folder setup) and the Emby server/computer too. Not sure if this is helpful or even close to what you developers are focused on but thought I would share. I think I am going to stick around a bit and mess with this thing. Please feel free to holler if there is any specific I need to post or mention with as far as testing goes. (Side note - I am an I.T. Admin along with 20 years experience in development and troubleshooting of windows apps with MySQL and VB/.NET - with a light dabble in python and C). Not bragging in the least and I doubt my experience would be of any help other than basic understanding of functional usage but I would be happy to volunteer a few hours of weekend time to test as a general user or help in any way. Thanks again for where you all are taking this Roku app - its looking and working quite well considering its in preview. <thumbs up> Regards, PC Nerd
