@ebr I have just installed a very old version of the ATV app, v1.4.6, and guess what, I now have Dolby Digital audio playing through my Sonos Beam, as the audio is being remuxed from EAC3 and DTS down to DD. So, can you out back into the app what you have obviously removed at some point recently please. I have attached 2 remux logs and have just submitted in-app logs (user=Master) for your reference. Thanks. ffmpeg-remux-24721147-e566-4db7-9fa0-54bb796a70c4_1.txt ffmpeg-remux-c19cfa35-6bfc-45f9-b4db-36ca125f9165_1.txt

To add (I was hunting for this earlier - now found it ..) https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159102-movie-naming You can actually add the id into the file/directory name for a direct lookup. ie \her (2013) [tmdb=152601] should find it .. Thanks for adding into the KB @cayars... ID Tags in Folder & File Names Emby can also read a Meta-Data ID from the name. Format: Name (Year) [tmdbid=xxxx] Example: Alone (2020) [tmdbid=509635] Emby supports the following tags with the host website for lookup. tmdbid (https://www.themoviedb.org/) imdbid (https://www.imdb.com/) tvdbid (https://thetvdb.com/)

sorry not for me they should be separate as different media etc

Feature Request: Have User Groups and all settings applied at the Group Level That way you can just assign users to the appropriate Group and all settings will be inheritated.

I would like the ability to adjust the playback speed of my videos and recordings. YouTube.com does this and i think it is a very convenient feature to have.

I'm looking for a way to select songs from my Emby Server using voice commands on a Google Home device such as the Google Home Mini or the Google Nest. I want to play the music directly on the Google Home device that issues the voice command, rather than routing it to my phone or a DLNA-compatible "player." However, there doesn't seem to be an option to simply play the selected music directly on the Google Home device's speaker. Am I overlooking something? I have successfully installed and configured the Emby for Android app and linked it to my Emby Server using Emby Connect. I can start a session by saying "Hey Google, talk to Emby Home." I can then say "Play <a song title> by <artist name>. Google finds the song on my Emby Server and asks which player I want to use. (Right now there are only two choices—my android phone or a DLNA device that I never use.) To test the feature, I selected my phone and it does play the song as expected, but not on the speaker I would like to use. (If the Emby team wants to pursue improving Emby for Google Home, you might take a look at a product called MyMedia, which is an Amazon Echo "skill." Their approach is elegant and it works flawlessly. The software "watches" and indexes local music folders on a PC to create a lightweight music server that is compatible with Alexa. I wish something similar existed for use with Google Home products.)

Ok, by running Picard on the Roger Waters The Wall it actually ended up as one album in Emby. The Pink Floyd The Wall is still showing as two albums though. The "Part of set" are set correctly for both Wall versions. After renaming the albums under the Pink Floyd The Wall to just "Disk 1" and "Disk 2" it shows as it should. Thanks for the help!

No, in the Google Home app where you manage your Chromecast devices. Then reboot your Chromecast device and restart the Emby app. Please see if that helps. Thanks.

He already figured this out. He was pointing to individual series instead of the parent folder.

Not necessarily. It could also be a data problem. Like, say the guide data is calling all these items the same episode so the system thinks that you already have it. I'm not saying that is what is happening, but that is one possibility. @cayars make sure you replicate his settings - specifically the keep only one episode and the "don't record items in my library" option...

Go anywhere that causes a scroll. Real time refresh after an option change doesn't appear to be working right now.

Hi. Press the "*" key on your Roku remote to bring up options. That is the universal key on the Roku for options. What is the sort set to?

On Roku when using the guide we haven't gotten the "on screen" toolbar ribbon yet like the grid. You need to press * to open the guide settings. You can change the order on that panel among other things.

I wrote the PowerShell script below after I found that the Emby backup plugin does not backup movie collections. It copies the collection.xml file for each movie collection to a target directory, displays the movies in each collection, and create an output file named Emby_Movie_Collections.txt with the same information. You will need to change the name "bernie" and the referenced paths, which should not require much effort. Hope you find it useful! $EmbyCollectionsDir = "bernie@ds418:/var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var/data/collections" $TargetDir = "C:\Users\bernie\OneDrive\Documents\Emby_Movie_Collections" $SSHCmd = "C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\scp.exe" $ErrorActionPreference = "Continue" Start-Transcript -Path $TargetDir\Emby_Movie_Collections.txt -Append New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $TargetDir | Out-Null & $SSHCmd -r $EmbyCollectionsDir $TargetDir $XMLFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Users\bernie\temp -Recurse -Include collection.xml | Select-Object FullName Write-Host "`nProcessing Emby movie collection files in: " $TargetDir "`n" $XMLFiles | ForEach-Object { Process { [xml]$Movies = Get-Content -LiteralPath $_.FullName foreach($Movie in $Movies.Item) { Write-Host "Collection:" $Movie.LocalTitle } foreach($Movie in $Movies.Item.CollectionItems.CollectionItem) { Write-Host $Movie.Path } Write-Host `n }}; Stop-Transcript

Thanks, sounds like a reasonable disaster recovery scenario.

@ebr I upgraded a step at a time, from v1.4.6, through v1.5.53, v1.7.x.x, v1.8.0.0, v1.8.15, v1.8.30, v1.8.35 and finally to v1.8.41 (the latest) and I still have DD playing on my Sonos Beam all the time. So, I wonder if it was a bug in the app from a long time ago, that uninstalling and reinstalling an old version cleared it? So glad I keep a library of the old versions of the app.

I'm seeing strange audio and reported behavior as well. I'm watching Fox News at the moment and the app/SFN is showing local downmix for audio but direct play and the server is showing transcoding. There is no need to downmix the audio for my Samsung TV nor sound system through the Shield TV. Also I've lost the ability to change the audio track in live TV but CC still works. Actually I doubt there is ever a reason to downmix audio from an ATSC 1.0 TV broadcast as the TV would be pretty lousy to not be able to support the streamed sound included.

Hi. If you look at our naming conventions for multi-version items, you will see that you have not followed them properly here. Your two versions need to start with the folder name.

\movies\Fight Club (1999)\Fight Club (1999) [1920x800 - BRRip].mp4 Detected as: Brooklyn Girls Fight Club This one, not sure, as it's the first hit, year or no year. movies\Captain America - The First Avenger (2011)\Captain America - The First Avenger (2011) [1920x816 - BRRip].mp4 Detected as: Captain America: The First Avenger - Disney Plus "VFX of Captain America: The First Avenger" https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Captain America - The First Avenger (2011) - No Hits. caused by the use of '-' instead of ':' but of course you cannot use ':' in the name ... Is emby not substituting these values ? https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Captain America - The First Avenger y%3A2011 - Hit So same issue as below - use the year flag in the tmdb search and it works - is emby not using this via the API query ? \movies\Her (2013)\Her (2013) [1920x1040 - BluRay].mp4 Detected as: Her Elephant Man https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Her - No hits - but if you use the year flag, then you do get a hit. So is emby not using the year flag when searching themoviedb.org ? If not, why not ? https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Her y%3A2013 - Hit.

Yes, this traffic is only sent by the ISP if the client is subscribed.

Just tested fight club and its identified by emby correctly using your naming So.. do you have themoviedb as your first metadata fetcher and library is of type movie? do you have a nfo file thats got the incorrect data in it? as emby will prioritise that over anything else So.. remove fight club from you library -> do lib scan to clear out any references -> delete any other files in the moved dir except the video -> add back the movie folder with the movedb as first metadata fetcher and it should work another possibility is you have some weird metadate tags in the file - unlikely but possible

Yes, I use this on a daily basis. The proxy I use is: https://github.com/pcherenkov/udpxy With the proxy we can do the following: rtp://@239.0.5.185:8208 becomes http://proxyip:proxyport/udp/239.0.0.185:8208 In Europe there are several FTTH providers that offer television for members only using multicast rtp streams. At the moment they usually do it without DRM, although some channels have DRM.

as an alternative Copy-Item -Path "path_to_collections_folder\*" -Destination "Path_to_backup_folder" -Recurse \* is important wrapped in any logging code you want will copy all files from target to destination including sub folders also will copy any other files in collections folder e.g. images

Hi there, I would suggest checking out our Connection Troubleshooter: https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001849007-connectivity Please try the steps listed there and let us know which ones succeed and which ones do not. Thanks !

There isn't anything specific to say gdrive but more about drive spin ups on NAS devices as the primary issues. From a rebuild point it is away better with media. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/45630-centralizing-meta-data But in the end cloud based would benefit for centralized metadata as cayars mentioned.

MCEBuddy automagically does this. Just set it to mark the commercials as chapters, run chapter image extraction in Emby and skip through them while watching.

If it is a database issue, more will be required. A test for that would be making New Libraries with New/Different folder paths and do a test with these same movies in those new libraries. If this resolves the issue, your database would have rogue paths not being removed as discussed in several older topics.

Thank you so much! You guys rock!

Thanks, that works. It's too bad this metadata is buried so deeply in the Mac files. It would be nice if Emby had a feature to let you edit this.

Basically, all Linux based Kodi will have an extra boost. Android have to deal with threading, not multiprocessing. Not sure if Apple TV is able to handle multiprocessing as well. Fallback is threading mode, so 5.0.0 works on all devices. I will release a alpha next weekend, most of the bugs are already fixed. Just performing final tests...

@Abobader

Don't argue against each other. The question is what does @sub3 say to this problem?

I love Infuse. It can literally play almost anything you throw at it. I've easily been able to play HDR content with Dolby Atmos through Infuse with zero problem. I know this is a personal preference, but I also love the way Infuse looks.

I've added this info to the Movie Naming KB article: https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159102-movie-naming

Yes we will be supporting it. Thanks.

Personally my only reason to still use Kodi with the Emby plugin and not the Emby App is the lack of the ability to select "download subtitle" during playback. This is a killer feature in Kodi, and I hope you guys can consider bringing it to Emby, I do have my Admin area set to automatically download subtitles, but many times (even so I have the option to only download exact matches) the subtitle is not the right one to the video file version, and the ability to just download a new subtitle on the fly is very welcome. Hope you guys can consider this Null

1. I would like an option to disable the web login screen when a REMOTE user is accessing Emby. For example, I may not want to present a EMby web login to anyone on remote HTTPS login, but ALLOW Emby apps. So the Emby apps could function and connect, but for security reasons a casual user going the the domain URL wouldn't see anything as no HTML page to login is presented. The next two have been mentioned before, but linked to the first item in terms of security: 2. I would like 2 factor authentication using Microsoft or Google Authenticator apps for the REMOTE web login *IF* enabled. 3. Account lockout (auto unlock is fine) after XX attempts and locked for XX minutes. Where XX is a configurable value in management console. Security needs to trump other non-major features in my view (OK, may come after you have sorted 24p playback on Apple TV and proper handling of interlaced content on Apple TV)
