MBSki 1036 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm really new to Emby (just installed today), and may have missed a recent update that does this already, but is there a way to customize the DLNA view? I'm using a Denon Heos receiver, but when I browse the Emby Server, which I plan to only use for music on DLNA, it's a very confusing set of options. The only way I can get to what I want is by going into folder view, but it takes a ton of clicks to get to a short list of Albums, Artists, Songs, Playlists, Genres. That's all I want to see as soon as I select Emby server. Attached is a screen shot of Serviio which has a great implementation of this type of customization. Any chance this is available or could be implemented in near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37292 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi, why does it take a ton of clicks? Can't you just click Music on the first level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1036 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Not sure. Almost seems like it's just buggy. I attached a word doc with a series of screen shots. Basically 4 screens to finally get to my playlist. And playlist doesn't appear on the first page.

Luke 37292 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 What are those four screens exactly? It works fine in my testing on for example, a Samsung TV. All share -> Emby Server -> Music library -> Playlists -> Select playlist or All share -> Emby Server -> Music library -> Artists -> Select artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1036 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Those screens are what I have to step through to get to Playlists. So, on the Android Denon Heos app it would be: Music Servers -> Emby Server -> Artists -> Music -> Playlists. It seems like there should be a Playlists option right after selecting the Emby Server.

Luke 37292 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 You should actually have Playlists at the top level. We are definitely including that. Since you're on android can you compare with bubble upnp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1036 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 The library displays correctly in Bubble UPNP. Is there something in the Denon AVR profile that causes the library to be handled differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37292 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 No, there shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14966 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Moving to DLNA forum for troubleshooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1036 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Ok, thanks ebr. Being able to customize the DLNA View like Serviio does would still be a nice feature. But, it would be good to fix this strange library view that I'm seeing first. Can anyone with a Denon receiver test DLNA? Are you seeing the same clumsy library view that I am? it takes too many steps to get select an artist or playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37292 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 You can customize the dlna view. All of the library display settings that we offer will apply to dlna as well, so I would suggest exploring those in the web interface. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

MBSki 1036 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Ok, thanks. Must be the fact that it's not working for me that I can't tell the dlna view is customized. Hope I can get this fixed. Could be some issue with Denon, but since I can view my library correctly using the Serviio server, there must also be something on Emby that's causing it to showing up differently. Anything that you can suggest I try to get it to work properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37292 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I would use bubble as a reference when editing settings. Then we can try and figure out why your receiver is rendering differently. It might require something proprietary that we're just not aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1036 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Ok, I tried that, but Bubble UPNP can't see Emby as if it's a Denon client for some reason. I can hit Emby directly from Bubble UPNP, but what I really need is a view in Bubble UPNP as if i'm accessing my library from the Denon Heos app. I can see the Denon, but it won't let me browse it at all. So I can't really test anything in Bubble UPNP. Maybe it is something proprietary as you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
