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!

I think this would be a nice feature to have. Maybe something similar to how windows media player handles this and the admin user can edit just by clicking on stars next to song. This would be easier and faster than having to go into metadata and change for every song you want to rate. This can be useful for smart playlists. If ten stars is too much then use five and have half a star counts as 1.

Today I thought how nice it would be if I could start playing music on one device (e.g. computer #1), and then when I move around (like to computer #2, or somewhere where I only have my phone), I pause on the 1st device and then resume the now playing queue on the other device. But it appears one device has no awareness of what was playing on another device. Any chance of adding such a feature or option? I don't know how common of a use case this would be, but I've never been one to do much with music in Emby, and this kind of feature would probably make a big difference in choosing Emby for listening to my music.

Hello together, i want to switch from plex to emby, bought a life time premiere pass to make sure not to miss anything. Now i want to import my directories. I added emby user to the old plex directories on the synology level. So far so good. I am able to import all files. But, right now, i really have problems with my ripped audio books and cds. In all imported directories i added cover.jpg files. But somehow, especially with audiobooks, the images are not detected or at least not shown in my library. For showing audiobooks i open my audiobook library and switch to the books panel. Here i dont see any images. On the other hand: if i switch to the folder/diretory tab, there i see the directories with images. Here are some examples: Also in the music libs there are some pictures not detected or shown. Here its only 10%, Audiobooks are 95%. I tried to play with the settings of the lib, but actually i dont know with setting is the best. I assume, usually images in the directories should be taken first, only if there is no image it tries to look up in the internet? Is it a problem if the albums are not detected? But again, i would assume, it would take local pictures first. Additionally it seems like the feature for saving images in the media folder doesnt work. I tried to upload images in the emby gui but the uploaded images didnt show up in the local media folder of the album. I read the naming convention stuff, i waited until the scan was complete (no green bar anywhere anymore). Maybe someone is able to help here?

Artist name differing artist folder name results in two artists listed
elektrokokke posted a topic in General/Windows
Hi! First of all, Emby has been a very nice experience for me so far. Never regretted purchasing premium. I have, however, one small problem which is sometimes bothering me. I though I'd try and ask, maybe there is a fix. I am using Emby for music exclusively. My folder structure is artist/album/track. However, special characters in artist names and album name I replace with underscores for their folder name, including spaces. For example: "...And you will know us" results in a folder name "_And_you_will_know_us". As a result, i have two artists in the artists list, one for the correct artist name which is in the tracks' metadata, and one for the folder name (shown in all uppercase). The folder name artist is showing the correct artist art, but the artist with the metadata tag name is not. Also, in the metadata tag name artist (i.e., the one with the correct name) does not have any albums associated, instead all albums are listed only under the "appears on" list (I use it in German, where it is called "Erscheint auf"). I would really like to see only the correct artist name, and have the albums and artwork associated correctly, and I want to avoid having to change the artist metadata to conform to valid folder names. Is there a way to achieve that? What I find strange is that for albums, this problem does not occur, despite me using the same name to folder mapping. Thanks for any help on this! -
When navigating from Album Artist / Artist / Composer detail pages to Tag pages, using the Tags links in the About section near the bottom of the pages, the subsequent Tag pages do NOT show all the relevant tags. I first found this by trying to associate an Album Artist with a Composer, by using a common tag for the two items. I’ve since tried this with several different item combinations, with various tag names, and still get the same results. Here’s a wider test example, showing the extent of the problem, with every item type I can think of tagged with “Test Tag”. With Emby 4.8.8.0, when navigating: Tags Menu tab>Tag: the relevant Album / Album Artist / Artist / Collection / Composer / Folder / Playlist / Song tagged items are all shown Search>Tags>Tag: the relevant Album / Album Artist / Artist / Collection / Composer / Folder / Playlist / Song tagged items are all shown Album detail page>Tag: the relevant Album / Album Artist / Artist / Collection / Composer / Folder / Playlist / Song tagged items are all shown Song detail page>Tag: the relevant Album / Album Artist / Artist / Collection / Composer / Folder / Playlist / Song tagged items are all shown Album Artist detail page>Tag: only the Album Artist / Artist items are shown Artist detail page>Tag: only the Album Artist / Artist items are shown Composer detail page>Tag: only the Album Artist / Artist items are shown This first picture shows the expected complete results Tag page. This second picture shows the limited partial results Tag page. Digging a bit deeper, it seems that the two views are different pages: http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/list/list.html?tagId=569744&serverId=437bcbdb674e44df85900dde5a8e73ba http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/list/list.html?tagId=569744&serverId=437bcbdb674e44df85900dde5a8e73ba&type=MusicArtist They also have different Sort By, Filters and Settings options available from the Menu. Hopefully this has been explained well enough. Why are the Tag results pages designed to be different, depending upon the preceding starting page? Is this an error that can be fixed please or perhaps I am doing something wrong with my tagging? With the limited results navigating, it means that Tags cannot be used effectively to set up quick easy cross-referencing between Album Artists / Artists / Composers. At a minimum, the limited results Tag pages should also include Composers. Thanks!

Hi, I've been going through my flac collection and cleaning up the incorrect metadata directly in the files. I ended up adding missing genres to a lot of the files. After doing this I then copied all my music across to my server and rescanned the library, but none of the newly added genres are shown. I also noticed that in cases where I had changed the genre, the old genre is still displayed for those albums and the new one is ignored. I have the genre display limit set to five, so it shouldn't have any problems displaying multiple genres for each album. Any idea where I might be going wrong? Is there a simple way to get Emby to refresh the genres from the tags embedded in the flac files? Thanks, Dylan

Music Album/Track/Artist - Local Image Importer (not embeded images)
mickle026 posted a topic in Plugins
This is currently for testing purposes only - use at your own risk Use on a test library before even attempting to use on your main server. Plugin For Albums in their own folders ! Emby doesnt seem to be able to do this correctly , every track gets the first ones scanned embedded image. Unless i am doing it wrong. ?? But doing it this way it makes absolutely no difference what the embeded images are or what emby does or doesnt do, you are in control. Use it with realtime scanning then you dont have to mess with embys metadata editor, only to loose all the settings if i have to redo anything. You can drop an artist image in the folder or a track Image (I use singles cover images for the tracks- i like them that way) and it just adds it when RTM picks up a change, or a refresh metadata happens. So the EXAMPLE album cover is the 1977 one but the track covers are all different Its a local Metadata Reader , so it scans the local directory when any metadata refresh happens or library scan happens. Set settings in Library Edit screen. It doesnt use embeded images, it looks for an image with the same name as the track name I dont think I ever publically posted it before??? - probably because I never officially finished it! I cannot remember but I think they can be in subfolders too. Anyway it scans the local directories for song track covers, album covers and artist images. - nothing embeded! (supports jpg/gif/png/bmp/webp/tiff) Album covers will be Poster.jpg Cover.jpg Front.jpg folder.jpg 1.jpg 0.jpg f.jpg filename-front.jpg filename-poster.jpg R-xxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg // this one is for directly downloaded discogs R- filename images Artists are the same but name can be hyponated, underscored etc, probably can be in a sub folder. Rod Stewart.jpg Rod-Stewart.jpg Rod_Stewart.jpg Song Tracks Must be the same as the mp3 filename, but with a different extension Album cover backdrops are also supported by the plugin *-backdrop*.jpg *-background*.jpg *-landscape*.jpg *-fanart*.jpg backdrop*.jpg background*.jpg landscape*.jpg fanart*.jpg As it assigns the local image, beware that if you remove the image in emby it will probably remove the image from the drive (I cannot exactly remember if it does or not). I know it just returns a result to emby, so it probably depends on your settings within emby. if you are on windows and want to extract your embeded album art you can create a batch file and use ffmpeg (copy them both to the album directory and run it) Batch file contents - for jpg extract from mp3s for %%f in (*.mp3) do ffmpeg.exe -i "%%f" -an -vcodec copy "%%~nf.jpg" Anyway you are welcome to try it (as always with my plugins - try at your own risk) If you do try it, create a test library first becuase I have not tested the Album backdrops work correctly! - they should... Still to do... whenever I can be bothered. Make a config screen so you can dissable the logging - sorry its just on for now! LocalAlbumCoverImporter.zip Fixed Artist Import Throwing Errors into Emby Main log, and now only scans the current directory (test code was looking in all directories that the artist existed on tracks) LocalAlbumCoverImporter-12.09.2024.zip -
Emby server/client - ReplayGain or R128 volume normalization support for music
Espen JQ posted a topic in Feature Requests
@@Luke stated in a previous post (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/49933-replaygain-music-support/) adding support for this could easily be done for at least the theater client seeing as the player used already supports replaygain. I'm making this feature request in hopes that this support is added, as I have no dev experience myself- 32 replies

The audio player in the iOS app is very buggy, with many visual issues and QoL issues which make listening to music an unpleasurable experience Device: iPhone 15 Pro Max OS : iOS 18.1 Beta 2 Emby server/app version: latest as of post Below is a video of my experience with the audio player in the emby app, issues visualised are: Flickering boxes behind UI elements, Low quality backdrop image (my suggestion would be a lot of blur here) low quality playing animation on current track in queue page UI not taking up full screen space, empty area above album art, could accommodate larger player controls if album art is moved up Other issues I’ve faced: Some playback issues with slow LTE speeds, which could be solved with better caching/pre-downloading Losing song progress when disconnected Thanks for reading ScreenRecording_08-17-2024 13-52-35_1.mov

I like listening to my music through my roku/emby setup. However, I don't need to know how the artist is while listening. I was wondering if there is some way to set up a virtualization like on windows media player? I can wait and my roku will go to it's screen saver, but I would like to make a choice. Or even display the lyrics on screen, all of my music files have the lyrics embedded.

Hello, I hope you are doing well. Sorry to bother you... I'm having an issue with my music, as you can see. I added a music album, and everything seems normal in my files, but Emby detects a duplicate for each track. They all work, and I don't understand what's going on. I am also providing my settings. Thank you very much in advance, and I wish you a wonderful day and a great start to the week !

A sleeptimer function for audiobooks and music would be great (also for tv series, but thats a different thing). For audiobooks its actually quite essential to be able to set a timer to not have to struggle to find the point of falling asleep again the next day... Without that the audiobooks function seems quite useless to me atm. It's nothing else than just playing one long song atm. For music it would be a nice additonal feature too.

When I play a song or a playlist the app hangs when I go into the now playing/play queue screen. If multiple songs are in the queue the app will play about 3-4 songs before it crashes and playback ceases. I am able to play media from my Android TV and web browser without any issues. Please let me know if you need additional details. Thank you! (I love Emby) ---- Server Version: Version 4.9.0.26 beta (Premiere) App Version: 3.4.11 Phone: Pixel 6 Pro Android Version: 14

Hey, a new music channel has launched on Sky and Virgin in the UK called "Now90s00s". https://www.tvguide.co.uk/channel/now-90s00s Could I possibly (very nicely) ask your guide data boffins if they'd look in to it to see if the EPG data could be added please ? Thankyou

I have some large boxsets (upwards of 66 discs) and it would be massively convenient if multi disc albums had the option to be treated more like collections (so select boxset, then album, then track) rather than one massive album (select boxset, scroll..., select track). If each disc could be titled it would be even better. All this info (disc names etc) is already available of musicbrainz.

I appreciate this may well not even be possible but no harm in asking I suppose Has anyone been able to get any of the UK Music channels working in Live TV with EPG data ?. I'm thinking the likes of Now 80's and Clubland specifically but anything in general. I did find a couple of M3U files a few nights ago that have allowed me to add Now 80's/Now Rock/Trace Urban/Vevo 80's/Vevo Country and Vevo Pop which all work nicely but all have zero in the way of EPG data and even Channel Logos (which I added manually). My old guilty pleasure was recording a lot of the one-off shows and countdowns on these channels so it would be nice to be able to do that again through Emby.

I did a search, and the only request that I saw similar was included here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/76011-music-queue-list-improvements/?hl=%2Bshuffle+%2Bmusic That discussion seemed to be more focused on lyrics rather than the shuffle piece, so I figured I would create a separate FR. One of my biggest pet peeves with using the web interface (when listening to music at my desk) and the android app is my inability to to select a song from a playlist and have emby shuffle the playlist after the current song ends. The current behavior is that after the song I selected finishes, the next song in the playlist is played (which in my case is alphabetical order). The native android music players (the app retro player in my case) allow me to select a song from my playlist, and then click on the shuffle button on the now playing screen and my playlist queue is automatically shuffled. I realize that the simple answer is to just use the shuffle button to randomly start a playlist and shuffle the songs, but sometimes I just want to start listening to one song, and then listen to the rest of my playlist at random. Additionally, when listening to music with my kids, they ALWAYS want to start with a specific song, and then don't really care what happens after that. This causes me to have to select the song they want to listen to, then when that song is over, go back and hit the shuffle button, which is annoying to have to do. Hopefully my ramblings made sense - and thanks for your consideration.

Prior to 4.8.1.0, I added music by tagging and embeding high quality album artwork (fanart) using picard and Emby would use the high quality artwork for both the album and also each song. In 4.8.1.0, it appears the use the fanart embedded image but down scales it to 600x600 for each track. I can delete the album cover and add the high quality album cover but it must be done for each track. Is this the expected behavior? The included images show the embedded image (1000x1000) but the image screen shows the down scaled album cover.

Duplicate Support for embedded mood tags for music tracks
smsamee posted a topic in Feature Requests
Music is an integral part of our daily lives, and its impact is often tied to the mood it helps evoke or express. I would like to propose a feature that I believe could significantly enrich the music listening experience on Emby: the addition of mood tags for music tracks by reading the mood descriptors from embedded metadata in music tracks, enabling users to filter and create playlists based on their emotional tone. -
And also comments over here: I admit I had left emby back in late 2019 - for that slow scan issue -- and then gave 4.8 a chance, but was no game changer. So here I'm in 2024, gone through some hoops to get Emby BETA 4.9.0.11 running on TrueNAS Core, but things are not flying. As of writing -- and I guess long before finished -- it's scanning 45min by now On the other hand I also just compiled Logitech Media Server(LMS) from ports. (for those who don't know, it's more a server/client system, with hardware endpoints like Squezebox Radios, not so much a "streaming to app" system) I only have on data source (_Music_HiRes) I use and its my CD collection, with many compilations of 2, 3,4 sometimes more discs and it's the same for Emby and LMS. The entire scan on LMS is done: It also has the Total Artists: 5,671 because of all those compilations. Actual Album Artists are 347 In a way I'm asking, if it is time to maybe add a different method to scan Librarys? One the user can simply select with "Just use my Tags and Images - no extra Metadata - Fast Scan/Less Metadata" Or, as Emby is what it is now, give an option "Don't collect Metadata for Artists in compilations - Fast Scan" (if this would help to scan faster) When you buy a compilation you get a cover and back you remember, not a booklet with 50+ pages for every Artist on that compilation AND that's just fine in my opinion! My thoughts so far and I will add how the initial scan went. Cheers

Hola, como puedo hacer para que la descripción del artista y del álbum la haga en español? Mi orden de proveedore es: 1. MusicBrainz 2. Discogs 3. AudioDb Son artistas conocidos como Dire Straits, Creedence, Bob Dylan, y otros nacionalea como Fito Fitipaldis. Lo extraño es que tras el primer escaneo de la biblioteca si que salia la descripción en español, pero tras un reset del server por actualización ya no, ahora sale en inglés. (server: Synology Docker, clients: iOS, Samsung Smart TV). Gracias

In my library, some albums appear multiple times even when they have the Ids (MusicBrainz). These IDs are from one double:

So I'm trying to have emby as a backup to my plex server and everything goes great with all my video libraries....until I get to making my music library. It doesn't import all artists and albums. I have deleted and tried numerous things but it constantly misses 100's of albums and about 20 artists. I have 390 artists and 3,870 albums total. Emby does 376 artists and 3600ish albums. I don't know what to do or why it's not scanning everything in. Much appreciated for some help thanks.
