I moved Play Next (Legacy) to the top of the Menu but it's a PITA to do that on 7 devices. Please don't "Legacy" it into oblivion because we use it at least as often as Continue Watching.

I have the same problem. In the Google Play Store, if you choose to download Emby TV, it keeps asking you for a username and password every time you want to sign in. The best way to avoid this is to download the Emby app only, not the Emby TV app. To use the Emby app, make sure to select the 'remember' radio button.

does it do this setting by default? Whatever the default settings are, but i believe they are transcoding to try to resolve the issue, but doesnt.. at the current time 2 mb setting

I have a folder with m4a and mp3 files, but in the media library only m4a appears, mp3 files do not appear, why is this? /folderXXXX ---a.mp3 ---abc.mp3 ---b.m4a ---c.m4a

I don't want to enter a PIN or a password into the TV, and I don't have kids so have no need for any kind of parental controls. The problem this causes now is I often use Emby (well, used to) via a browser, my browser cache is cleared often so now I need to enter my password every single time. It worked fine before, now it's a complete pain.

Hi. Because that is how it is designed right now - to only show in-progress items - because that row is device-wide. IOW every app on the device is putting things in there.

Because the functionality changed from being an alternate authentication method to an additional layer of parental control and you would only want it on shared devices. You don't want to have to enter your PIN every time on your phone but you may on your TV.

Can you please reproduce that problem and then follow the instructions to send a log from the app?

1. This is the same as all the other apps, correct? 2. That should not be the case. Guide sorting is remembered. Can you give details? 3. This should be aligned in the near future but is there not a check box for favorites at the top?

Just tried it and saw that I'm nearly ready to try it on the live as so far I've had no surprises. I might wait until youv'e finished all the bits and bobs as I want to try a few different configs but I need to read up on the API a bit. Really nice bit of coding

Why do only actual started (in process) TV shows show up on the shield’s play next Home Screen and not any of the continue watching episodes from a TV series that are in emby’s continue watching show up ?

Unless there is something incorrect in the file, "Normal" would be the proper zoom setting. It will pass the video untouched.

At the point I wrote this, I was using Server 2019 which did not have the “disable legacy TLS” option. Server 2022 does and makes the IISCrypto bits unnecessary. However, older versions of Windows Server still need it.

Anything after the first -v has no effect, fwiw. I allow multiple -v in case in the future I wanted to add additional output.

seeing this: But stats showing this: i am in fact missing S10E19, but i only have 148 actual episodes, but i do have 2 additional specials.... stats seems to be once again counting specials in the number of episodes.... this also happened previously too, notice it doesnt say "148/148 + 2SP" like it used to! This was also the same time it seems that the "show specials inthe seasons in which they aired" option also dissappeard.... which means a season that would only have 8 episodes, like fool us season 1, Now shows the count at 9 files in the season, as it is placing the special in both specials AND season 1 so the question here is: is this Stats being broken, or is this a by product of losing the ability to hide specials in the season folders? i am thinking it is a little of both, as stats is missing the SP count, as well as emby itself showing extra episodes (the specials) in season folders, something we used to be able to turn off. this combo has broken my stats, and broken me trying to keep my shows updated, as now i dont know what is not complete. The only fixes i have are to remove all the specials (which would destroy the show, case in point Dr Who, where the specials bridge gaps between seasons) or just have to go show by show (current count 627 shows) and check for missing episodes (making sure to click upcoming, because of the previous issue described above) which would have to be frequent to keep shows up to date. neither option makes sense on a server that is pretty much automated... and still do not know why the "show in season folder" option was removed, and the thread complaining about that choice is growing too.... so respectfully, now what?

Well now that I know it's not an issue but normal behaviour I don't check anymore scan progression in server settings

Sorry I meant the above, I saw the multiple allowed but didn't realise what it meant. I guess -vv shows more in the log than -v The examples will make it clear, so far everything makes sense. BTW Emby leaves the empty season folders behind, probably as placeholders for watched seasons, Sonarr deletes them on rescan so keeps my library nice and tidy. The way Emby deletes on Windows is actually very useful for testing but maybe not so on the prod, something I may look into later.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing although Ive been using Trakt unchanged for years and this just started happening. I am in the process of testing with it disabled and will report back.

I have a some gripes with the Guide functionality on the Emby for Roku app (version 4.1.15): I can select the Tags in the guide ["Show Only channels with Tag(s)"], however I have to do it every time the Emby app is started on Roku. It would be ideal if the Tags would be remembered after an app re-start. I can select the Sort in the guide ["Sort by:"], however I have to do it every time the Emby app is started on Roku. It would be ideal if the Sort would be remembered after an app re-start. I can set the Sort in the Guide ["Sort by:"] only to a limited number of options. I would really like to have the same options that are available in a Web Browser. I'm specifically referring to the "Favorites, Then by..." options that are available in a Web Browser, but not on Roku. I'm hoping these are something that could be addressed in a future version of Emby for Roku. Thanks

I think you will enjoy smart playlists but they are just playlists/collections after all. Plus they are not displayed as a filtered library would be (playlist view etc.). Filtering with tags sound promising, I run docker so that could be somewhat confusing.. I wish the devs could just add this filter to core server. Anzac Day tomorrow, have a good one! Up for the dawn service?

The help output already includes the log flags But I will be adding a log config example to the examples wiki when I get around to it. ``` ddb@emby:/usr/local/bin# ./embysweeper -h Usage: embysweeper <command> [flags] An Emby tool to sweep for and delete media items automatically based on a set of defined rules. @/path/to/file replaced by contents of file; see https://gitlab.com/ddb_db/embysweeper/-/wikis/Include-Files Flags: -h, --help Show context-sensitive help. --log-file=STRING write log output to specified file; appends to existing file --truncate-log when true, truncate the log file if it already exists -q, --quiet decrease log level; multiple allowed -v, --verbose increase log level; multiple allowed --version print version information and exit Commands: batch <dir-name> [flags] run all command lines found in the specified directory delete --server-host="localhost" --server-login=STRING --server-password=STRING --server-port=8096 [flags] delete all matching items serieskeep --server-host="localhost" --server-login=STRING --server-password=STRING --server-port=8096 --keep=INT [flags] scan all tv series applying specified filters and maintaining a maximum count of episodes, deleting the rest Run "embysweeper <command> --help" for more information on a command. ``` On my system it's a total delete. But that could be just because that's how I configured it way back when, I don't remember. I just make the api call to delete the item, exactly what happens on that api call is up to Emby. I only care that the call returns a success or error code and act accordingly (which is just logging the result).

OK, it's also because the S/PDIF cable can't handle aac and other uncompressed audio. That means if you're using an optical audio cable, you'll have to transcode various codecs other than ac3. If you want to avoid that, I think you'll need a home theater system or soundbar that has HDMI ARC and a TV (with one HDMI ARC and one or more HDMI jacks) that has the same, i.e., if HDMI can pass multi-channel audio easily. You'll connect the TV box and other devices to the HDMI jacks of the TV, then connect the TV to the soundbar using the HDMI ARC jacks. That means the TV will receive video and audio from the devices, then pass on the audio to the home theater system. That means audio from all devices will come out of the system. Lastly, I read somewhere that Kodi is supposed to transcode all audio played in it to ac3. I think that happens if you turn off passthrough in the audio settings. I tried that and played around with the settings (e.g., set it to default) but I still encountered the same problem given earlier.

So on Live TV as soon as I try and turn off CC, the app crashes and goes back to the main Apple TV menu. Happens every time. Is it just me or is it a bug?

Ah! I didn't realise there were more options. Can you add these to the output of the --help please? I realise that will probably be part of the final release tidy up but best to get it on your roadmap. Currently I've set it to verbose/debug whilst testing. This seems like a nice solution. It will allow a record of files deleted so it's easy to get them back if you need to (re-download or out of the recycle bin on Windows) BTW does Emby on Linux delete files to the bin or is it a total delete?

The 1984 movie with "Sting" LOL. That was bad! The TV mini series on Syfy crapped all over that! The new movie series by Denis Villeneuve is far better, plus we have one more movie to come to complete the series much like the TV mini series.
