Hello, I want to warn you, and request a quick solution, when I use the Android TV client application configured to use an external player, I always have the serious problem that when I stop playback in the middle of a movie, or in the middle of the episode , when I resume playback, it always erroneously starts from scratch again and never resumes from the exact minute and second that the stop position was marked. Besides, many times the movie is mistakenly marked as fully played until the end, when in fact I had stopped the playback in the middle of the movie. I also have the error that at the moment there is a current playback, in the control panel of my Emby 4.6.7.0 server for Windows operating system, in the control panel I can see the current playback in the client for Android TV with an external player, but in the control panel of the server it never shows the exact minute and second of the current playback, it counts only a few seconds and jumps back to zero, but the playback can actually go to half or close to movie's ending. All these problems happen only when I use an external player. With the internal player of the Android TV client application there is not problem. But unfortunately I find myself more and more forced to use the external player MX (MX Media - formerly J2 Interactive) since its powerful video decoder is configured in the HW+ configuration, it is the only player application that makes absolutely all the movies , all the series, and all the videos all play smoothly without jerks or jumps in the image, on my Philips 55OLED873 television with Android TV operating system. I would like to use the internal and native player of the Emby client application, but I have the serious problem that on my Philips 55OLED873 television, more than 70% of the movies and series have the problem of reproducing the image with constant jerks and jumps in the picture. But luckily there is the MX playback application (MX Media - formerly J2 Interactive) that, with its powerful HW+ decoder, forces my TV to play absolutely all the videos without jerks or jumps in the image. For this reason, I request if you could solve the problem so that when I play with the external player MX (MX Media - formerly J2 Interactive) always after stopping the pre-production in the middle of the movies, it resumes playback from the minute and exact second that it had stopped. Another solution that I would much like is if it were possible for you guys to add the MX Player (MX Media - formerly J2 Interactive) as a well-optimized alternative internal player within the Emby Android TV client app, so you can add a settings option where I can pick and choose MX (MX Media - formerly J2 Interactive) and dismiss ExoPlayer. If you please solve this problem, please let me know that future versions of the Emby client application for Android TV, and in the future version of the server for Windows operating system, all the problems and errors that I report to you will be solved. Greeting.

Hi Emby Team, I am not sure when it really started happening, but guess it was since the 3.3.x.x.x update. When I select a TV series and decide to play from the beginning, a complete or partial season or a few episode of a current season through to the end it ends up playing in a random order. When I check the Kodi playlist it displays the remaining shows in a random order. When I play direct from the Kodi menu system it plays in the correct order. So let's say that I've not watched the last three more more episodes of a particular series I would normally go to the next episode to be viewed and press play. With 'Auto play next episode' activated it use to continue in proper order but now it randomises the order playing each, once. So it's just the order of play that is wrong. Has this issue been raised before and are there any ideas on how to overcome this issue? Lloyd

I recently installed Emby as an OSS alternative to Plex on a headless Debian machine. The machine is a netbook, so is not particularly powerful, but should be able to handle it. I am able to browse the media libraries fine, however, if I attempt to play something, it simply fails, sometimes saying 'TimeoutError'. I have paid for the apps across all of my devices, so what am I doing wrong? Are there higher minimum specs than I expected? Thanks in advance, Robyn

This is actually a feature request. Would it be possible to add in the playlist view, an indication of which item is currently being played by the web client? I can think about something like adding an icon next to the item in the playlist that is currently playing or even something more simpler like changing the row background color of the item. This way we can easily and visually see where we are in the playlist, what's coming next and what was playing before. Thanks!

Hello, I've recently upgraded to MB3 I've got the server setup on my office machine, the media is on a NAS drive, MBC is on my HTPC, I have Daemon Tools Lite installed and configured on my HTPC, the Configuration points to the Daemon Tools exe. I've decided to have a go at using ISO's I have created an ISO and placed this is my media drive. The Server correctly identifies the ISO and has created media information for it. I can browse to the ISO in MBC on my HTPC, read all about it, see pictures of cast etc and it is identified as an ISO When I click "play" it offers me a choice of playing part 1 or part 2 (which is correct because its an extented version and consists of 2 discs) but when I select a part to play, MBC hangs. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? TIA

I'd like to request an option to allow videos to keep playing one after another rather than stopping after each video. I want to select the first video and then have it keep playing until the last episode in the season or folder because i may have already watched the previous episodes. Thanks for your consideration!
