Edgephoto Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgephoto Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgephoto Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 I will have to try and remember which ones I fix already or find a new example. Might be a day or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgephoto Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 (edited) I remembered one mismatch. This is the show: This is what it matched it as: Here is the file names: Edited July 28 by Edgephoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 @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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
