Photo Problems

[Edgephoto 1]

I tried Emby Premiere for two months. Unfortunately there are major issues that need fixing before I can make the switch.

1. TV Shows don't reliably match. Yes, they are named properly. Manually checking over 2000 TV Series is not something I am going to do.

2. AppleTV app need to have the jump to first letter menu like every other app.

3. A stable build to run on Mac hardware. I have an M1 and it is only running Emby and every day or two it has issues.

The AppleTV issue has been reported for years so I am not holding hope that it gets fixed. The promised Apple silicon build is vaporware too. 

I do like the simple interface. I will check periodically to see if these deal breakers ever get resolved. If they do then Emby is a serious contender.

I had the same issue on a Mac mini M1. The only software running is Emby. I even went as far as reloading the OS and starting from scratch. Same issue.

I gave up on it and cancelled my month to month subscription.

Hi there @Edgephoto can we please look at a specific example? How exactly are your files named and organized? Thanks !

I will have to try and remember which ones I fix already or find a new example. Might be a day or two.

I remembered one mismatch.

This is the show:

 

This is what it matched it as:

@Edgephoto Here's why. Look what happens when you search for it on tvdb:

https://thetvdb.com/search?query=assembly+required

If instead you were to name the series folder Assembly Required (2021), then it would have matched on the first try.

Does this answer your question?

@Edgephoto Yep per their api

adding year

'

So it looks like both TVDB and TMDB can have defective results returned from their api's.  But usually adding year to folder naming scheme can resolve these issues.
