Burrito78 15 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thanks for releasing it so quickly for us Synology users! Awesome work all around! Update was quick and easy, no problems. After the first start, all Plugins got updated and a server restart was required. I did a Library scan after that and that took a few minutes. No issues so far at all!

sylvio2000 16 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I am not sure if I just want to upgrade. What do I have to do if I want to start from scratch with Emby? Do I just have to uninstall Emby server and install it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JotNarayan 4 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Good afternoon, congratulations on the new version 4.x. I see that there are many things fixed and many new changes. I'll install it over the weekend, I'll have more time to review everything. A question... At the time I told you that I had problems basically from my LG TV, since everything was very slow and when I went through the menus it ended up hanging and restarting the application. Has this issue been resolved in this version? I think that you told me that you were going to solve it by creating the displacement of the menus in a virtual way or something similar. Have you found the solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The server release will help the LG app a little in that regard but there is still work to do within the app itself. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37008 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Yes we have a private conversation going about that. Hopefully you can appreciate that mp4 with vobsub is a rare combination. We will get it worked out, though it may take a little time. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgpuke 2 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I appreciate all the work you do Luke (and all others)! I am sure you will work out a solution to this problem in time. Whether mp4 with embedded vobsubs is a rare combination, I don't know. Let me tell you this, however: I use DVDFab to rip and encode my Blu-ray movies. If I use the default settings of that software, I will end up with an mp4-file with embedded vobsubs. So far, DVDFab is the easiest-to-use, fastest, and most "it-just-works" software that I have tried for this purpose. But with my new-found knowledge about what vobsubs are, I will set it to produce SUB/IDX files separately from the mp4 video-content instead, and then use SubEdit to convert it to .SRT files. A bit of extra work, but it will be worth it in the end. Thanks for all your help so far! You are doing great work, and your responsiveness on this forum is fantastic, especially if comparing to the Plex forum. --Hans-Göran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rouq 23 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Hello @@JotNarayan I'm not sure about manually added metadata. but I would guess that it will be retained. When I switched my live tv guide from scheduledirect to emby tv guide, all my shedule recordings as well as my channel logos were retained. So I guess it will be the same for your manually added metadata. You just need to let some time at the first startup to complete the update, I did not observe anything else special during this upgrade. I did not have time to play with it a lot yet, but so far, amazing upgrade. Navigation is very fast and the new hardware accelaration is very welcome.

wanderjarra 18 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Good evening, my Synology DS212j with version 6.2.1 update 4 simply does not find the update for Emby 4.x Everything is correct, with certificate and the source, but it is only marking version 3.5.3.0-16 as the last one. Inside Emby he points out that he has a new version and asks to go in the middle of the packets, but nothing meets. I removed and placed the source and checked the certificate, but nothing happens, could anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
