I have been trying out Emby for a few years now, I really prefer it over plex. I want to switch to emby from Plex, but there are some things holding me back, mainly family preferences on ease of use to view. example Playlists in plex you can add them to the home screen, and the layout looks like the picture below. Emby also allows you to add playlist to the home screen, but it adds it like a block. Maybe I just have not find out the setting that allows the media to be displayed separately.

Oh yea I just figured it was an Emby thing and moved on... it stays static the entire time so I just use the blank screen feature on my remote when/if I play these

A core goal of the PluginUI is to be agnostic of any UI client framework (like html/js). Few years ago I developed a proof-of-concept, rendering the PluginUI through WinForms. It was just for fun of course, but as soon as there's a case where we need non-html rendering, we're ready for that (including all plugins using it).

Hi. We don't currently have plans for that side menu in the Roku app because that just isn't a normal Roku UX but we may add it in the future.

Oh okay, Thank you ! I have been trying out Emby for a few years now, I really prefer it over plex. I want to switch to emby from Plex, but there are some things holding me back, mainly family preferences on ease of use to view. example Playlists in plex you can add them to the home screen, and the layout looks like the picture below. Emby also allows you to add playlist to the home screen, but it adds it like a block. Maybe I just have not find out the setting that allows the media to be displayed separately. This might not fall under the Roku section, and if it needs to be moved I will create a new topic.

I don't believe the Navbar has been added to the Roku as there are quite a few limitations to that platform. But @ebror @speechleswill have to confirm.

In the web application, and the windows desktop app, we get the left hand side bar, that allows for better navigation. Like the picture I uploaded ?

Sorry but what layout are you referring too? As I see the same layout as the web client. Stable: v4.1.42 (2025/05/22)

The emby app on roku is still version 4.1. When will a new version come out with the same emby layout that you get on the web ?

What example? Does it show hdr in your TV? on mine it doesn't show hdr when viewing images through emby app on TV on my phone all image are in hdr while using the inbuilt gallery app

I updated to the latest beta and now the issue is resolved. Maybe some problem with ffmpeg. Thanks!

Salut à toutes et à tous, j'ai un souci que je viens de relever car j'utilise depuis peu Emby via Android Auto. En effet, lorsque je lance une musique, l'image de la pochette apparaît puis disparait systématiquement au bout de 8 à 10 secondes. Je n'ai pas ce souci depuis l'appli android de mon tel J'ai le même souci lorsque j'utilise Emby via Android Auto d'une autre voiture. Est-ce un problème connu?

Hi. Please contact whomever gave you access to their server. Thanks.

You would need to have written permission from the site to do any such scraping.

Uhhh it’s 2025 can’t you just vibe code some enhancements? You don’t even need to write code anymore just tell Claude Code to do it.

Hi. I asked you to please search before creating these. There's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

Since this was requested 10 years ago (almost), you have next 10 years to find out if TV Library is adequate

I made a longer post in the Tools forum about an open source project I've written for connecting an LLM to an Emby server. I'm posting here in case it's of interest to anyone who doesn't venture out of this general forum.

Sure, What happens is this: I open the Emby app on my iPhone, go to Live-TV and start playing a channel. Everything works fine so far. Channel works etc. I then press the casting icon on the top-right and select "Livingroom" (My Chromecast device) My TV (Chromecast) then goes black and loads for a sec, until it shows the Emby logo with the text "Ready to Cast" Meanwhile this is happening on the TV, the iPhone screen changes from playing the media to going black but with controlls (Pause, +-10sec etc) and showing the default channelname/media name at the bottom, settings etc. Although the timebar doesnt change, it just freezes. After this nothing happens if you wait. I've tried waiting 5-10minutes to see if there is some buffering, but nope. After this happens, the client freezes. I cant press pause for example. I can go back though, and when doing that and trying to replay the channel, it just flickers and does nothing. Also, i've noticed that it causes a broken session, when going to the admin/control panel in Emby, i can see my username playing the channel i tried casting. And even though i turn off the tv and tries to play something else on the phone, It still stays there. I must cancel it from the control panel or turn off the app/change user for it to stop. Some things I've tried to narrow it down: I have tried both with the M3U player and using HDHomerun (Threadfin). Same results. It is also the same for playing a livestream or playing a VOD from the M3U. Casting from my local media works, ie, casting a locally stored movie from my Emby server, using the iPhone Emby app to my TV (running chromecast) So the issue is somewhere in the Live-tv area. I have tried using the IPTV plugin in the catalog. Same results. Playing the M3U stream from the Emby app installed on the chromecast works fine. Going into casting mode before selecting channel yields same result. Forcing transcode from the app (ie selecting a super low resolutions) yields same result. Please get back to me if there is anything else or something that is unclear and need further explanation. Embylog Casting.txt

Thanks Guys, I changed to the Standard Emby Android app and it is indeed much better! Loads movie faster and indeed plays better Thanks Rew

My set up is emby theater on a Lenovo think centre micro PC using Intel UHD Graphics 730 running Windows 10, connecting to my Emby server over Ethernet lan. Then I'm using HDMI from micro PC to a Samsung TV (Samsung 70-Inch Class QLED 4K Q60D Series Quantum HDR Smart TV (QN70Q60D, 2024 Model)). Then Tos Link(I have replaced this cable with a better one) from TV to a Samsung sound bar (SAMSUNG HW-T450 2.1ch Soundbar with Dolby Audio (2020)) sound bar does seem to be linked to the TV(TV controls sound bar volume when using TV remote). The volume isn't super low but it's never quite loud enough (PC system volume max, Emby theater vol. Max, TV/sound bar maxed out as well) when playing Blu Ray rips. PS. I also did go into the "audio" settings on emby theater and enable passthrough for all the audio file types listed as well. Thanks!

Quick update on this, the progress bar is now fixed using version 2.0.0, so thanks to the team! Another issue that I was hoping that would get fixed at the same time is the ability to scroll back live tv... strangely the first minute after tuning a live channel it appears to work, but then it completely refuses to go back. Maybe this can be fixed by some settings in the server ?

hi all, running latest emby on latest arch, already for years, normally not an issue, needed to migrate to a new machine a few months ago. I had to change some series folder names and content, when I trigger full library scan or library scan for TV folder, it does run through the scan but does not add the new tv show folders and also does not seem to update existing folders with changed files in it. If I go into the specific tv show and trigger a scan from the 3 dots on the tv show, then it does get it and updates the content but I have many shows and I can not do that manually for all folders, how could that be done automatically for all? or is there way to trigger specific folder scan's via api, then I could write a script to do it for each folder in some automated way without having to do it via the web interface for each show which is not feasible. it is def. not a permission problem, also no errors in the logs, thanks for any hints
