lightsout 144 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I assume this is on purpose? But seems like it is different than it used to be. When doing testing for the capabilities of my server. I will open a bunch of windows of Emby in Chrome to play multiple streams. Emby treats these as one device and stacks them on top of each other. It then just rotates through each stream briefly so that you have to watch them circulate. Is there any way to have them as separate tiles? The picture below is with two streams running.

I don't believe that is expected behavior. Mine are all separate tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsout 144 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I don't believe that is expected behavior. Mine are all separate tiles. Even if its just multiple tabs from the same browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8356 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 To me I would expect this as it is the same browser id so multiple tabs would be grouped. But never tested this before. Opening multiple tabs in Edge, Firefox or Chrome shows those browser tabs grouped into one active device per browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1929 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) When it flashes it means you have more than one session going. Most apps cannot have multiple sessions in progress (without it being a bug aka ffmpeg doesn't die, etc). A few can. For picture-in-picture you most definitely have to. Since you do it all on the same web browser just in different tabs Emby has really no way to tell them apart. They send the same user agent, the same other info, the same everything. There is probably some lingering detail that could potentially tell them apart. But in reality what you have is multiple sessions running on one device and that is the expected behavior.

Yeah I get all that, it just is a bit of a pain when testing, and if I am not mistaken was not the behavior in the past. But oh well, they do rotate so you get a chance to see what all are doing.

mastrmind11 717 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 ohh, I get what you're describing now. Yeah, that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37253 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Each device only gets one spot, so for now at least, this is expected behavior. It should probably be changed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's working correctly then I'm cool with it. Thanks Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
