Hi guys. We are working on this. Apple snuck this release out before even releasing the development tools necessary to build an app on it. We'll get it corrected as fast as we can. Thanks.

Downloading subtitles in the TV app is very annoying, you have move one by one until you go to the language you are looking for and in the TV the switching interface is very slow. wanted to suggest a better way to display the language menu for the TV app, because you use a tv controller and there is no scrolling. I did an example for a better understanding, in the preferred part I put the languages that are set in the server to automatically download. When I want to download subtitles I avoid the TV app, I rather use the phone or the Ipad because unlike the TV app, you can scroll fast and go directly to the language you want.

Hi, I created the subtitle plugin for Subscene. Please install and let me know if there is a problem --> The problem with Subscene is resolved, Please download the latest version <-- Source Code: https://github.com/nRafinia/Emby.Subtitle.Subscene Binary: https://github.com/nRafinia/Emby.Subtitle.Subscene/releases/latest

It would be useful if the server (or perhaps clients) could cache most (if not all) content images (posters, backdrops, logos, etc) for movies, TV series and seasons. This would mainly be of benefit when a portion of someone's content is offline but the users would still like to view the content to know what exists. I think caching on the server would be preferable, then all clients could make use of the same cached images. if you think this would be a useful feature, please click the "Like This" button on this post.

Please read this post first. I was wondering if it would be possible to add something that would allow you to skip the intro to shows automatically while binge watching. When watching Netflix it does this for some shows, and im not sure if thats a feature of Netflix itself or a Chrome extension i use called "Flix Assist" but it would be a nice feature to have within Emby as well. and possibly even create a custom timed skip for specific shows

Emby for iOS 1.9.9 has been released. Here are the highlights. New Apple CarPlay Support This is a treat for our Emby Premiere users. Now you can take advantage of Apple CarPlay while you're on the road. Other Improvements Improved HDR playback Support in-app AV1 decoding Added camera upload photo folder selection Support playback speed and subtitle offset selection Media Info display is now TV mode friendly Brighter detail screen backdrop when used on larger screens Support downloading subtitles during video playback (requires Emby Server 4.5.1+)

It very well is, it's just kind of guesswork about what is in our responses that it doesn't like.

In order to use an external audio file I use the same approach as to using an external subtitle, e.g I have the below in the same movie folder Name.of.my.movie.mkv Name.of.my.movie.swe.srt - for a Swedish subtitle Name.of.my.movie.deu.mka - for a German audio track Then I can use a different audio track with the same mkv, it's one of those great Kodi features

Is it possible to ask them to add more dlna logging?

Hi it's certainly not a corner case with Nvidia shield it's been reported by several other users on the forums here as well. I'm having the random stopping issue on the https protocol (443) as well on all my devices: S20 Samsung, Chromecast w/Google TV, Firestick on embycon KODI and emby apk. Unfortunately I don't have access to server logs because it's not my personal server but it's only happening since the emby server update 4.5. Hope it's being looked into and fixed soon.

Yes.

Oh, that's messy.

Based on their screen shot of the home screen I'd say yes this should run our Android TV app just fine. Thanks.

Hi @sooty234 Sorry I forgot to come back to you. I ran a temp Ethernet cable and it played back fine, so it appears to be network related. Cheers for your help a couple of weeks back!

Thanks for noting this @vdatanet. We'll take a look at this as well.

Is it possible they are actually two different items? Like different libraries or a trailer or something. If you click on the one in the more like this, is the path shown at the bottom the same?

Oh... okay, I missed that detail. That's a little trickier...

To be clear, horstepipe asked about the description for each track. On a related note, I wish the description for the album would be taken from the tag data. If there's already a way to do that I would welcome any tips.

I installed the latest beta (4.6.0.5) and everything is working again! Even without the external Mono package. Thank you!

@Luke, doesn't Emby for Windows have the option to disable camera uploads? I think that is the complain about. @Francinildo Gomes da Silva, o Luke vai-te responder eu nao utilizo Emby no Windows, por isso nao posso ajudar mais. Sorry!

De qual aplicacao e sistema (Windows, Android, iOS, etc.) falas? Eu no Emby for Android tenho essa opcao e posso ativar e desativar a qualquer momento.

No servidor nao dá para evitar que os utilizadores usem a opcao de upload de imagens. Há um pedido para implentar essa opcao mas por enquanto ainda nao está. Mas: Na aplicacoes dos utilizadores tens a opcao para ativar e desativar essa opcao. Vê lá se isto ajuda.

Well, last night I installed Emby for Roku on the main TV then watched a show for an hour, and needless to say it was faultless. Today, I am installing it on my other 2 Roku's in the house and setting up additional users. Killer feature so far? The ability to set a PIN and not ask for a password when it's in the same house. Superb.

I might be interesting to have a virtual 'lobby' where people meet (login..) and then a film is started at a certain time (like at the cinema I guess). I do know that some of my family have trouble choosing a film sometimes due to sheer amount on offer - so if there was a 'film night' and pre-selected films - then this would re-create the cinema experience for them. I don't believe the technology of multicast can be worked into Emby easily plus the fact Emby is a client/server model and not centrally controlled (unlike Plex) so I'm not 100% sure how Emby is going to request a video be played simultaneously with other. It's an interesting and novel concept - but as there are many aspects of Emby that are still not working at a basic functional level - other than bragging rights (and/or keeping up with Plex..), I'm not sure this is worth the development effort. Personally I like my tools to be solid first and THEN add the bells and whistles ...

I can't generate Bigscreen logs from my Quest, but it is possible to get Bigscreen logs from the PC version of Bigscreen. I'm working on getting some PC users to recreate the issue and then share their Bigscreen logs in this thread. Hopefully it will have what you need.

Sounds like you need a ban too.

Thx at all I will try this step by step and give feedback

After I removed UTF-8, I've been using it with no problems.

YMMV. If it is a true Android TV box with latest and greatest Android OS then it should perform better with MPEG2.

I posted this in the other thread but it went nowhere. You and Emby should only care about events that modify files and directories. So to cleanup all of the output that includes open, close events you can filter the inotifywait command for those specific events. Then test again creating directories, copying files and removing them to see if DSM responds as expected. inotifywait -mre create,delete,move,modify,attrib "path to monitor"

Enhancements are coming to our app that will allow it to direct play more. You can preview it by seeing the link i gave above.

For TrueNAS core, there are 2 default options for Emby in Plugins under community. "Emby" (NAT) and "Emby Server" (DHCP). You can also create a jail and use the FreeBSD instructions at https://emby.media/freebsd-server.html.

I've put together a list of thoughts I've gathered from my own experience and from other users' input. Some thoughts about what audiobook support is missing in Emby: Top priority features: store album position (not just track position) and when starting the album, go to that track/position instead of track 1 adjustable playback speed (a dealbreaker for me, but some might disagree) when "continue listening" is used, queue up entire album into "now playing" "Nice to have" features (in no particular order): Finish distinguishing media type from Music (still says "latest music" in web, and when downloading on mobile, it puts audiobooks in the "Music" folder, and other similar relics) limit saved progress to one track per album. (That way when you resume an album, there's clearly one place you mean for it to resume from. If you play a few minutes of chapter one, then realize you already finished that chapter and start the next track, you want it to save the progress in track 2, and forget that you played half of chapter 1.) metadata agent for matching artwork and descriptions separate metadata fields for author AND narrator multiple author tags that can allow books to appear under both authors handling of non-square cover art keep track of "in progress" or "continue watching" audiobook albums (add to home screen similar to movies, and create "recently listened books/albums" and "Recently added books/albums" in "Audiobooks" library type, instead of recently added/played tracks as it is now) skip ahead/back in larger (or custom) increments (e.g. 1 minute; currently an app-wide setting) and perhaps separate buttons for small and large jumps (keep 10 second button, but add a new 1 minute or 3 minute button) apply skipping ahead/back to progress in the album, not just the track, i.e. if you're ten seconds into a track and you press "skip back 1 minute" then allow it to go back to before the end of the previous track. Sometimes track boundaries are arbitrary. go back a few seconds automatically when resuming, especially after a long pause or being stopped (restart the word/phrase; could be an optional setting; would be nice for video as well...) sleep timer to stop playback after a given amount of inactivity remember furthest played position in book/album (similar to furthest read position on Kindle) so that if you accidentally start over, or have to jump back for something, you can jump forward to the autosaved furthest location again enable resetting of furthest played position, if you want to start a book over, or accidentally jumped to the end display album duration on album info page show album progress/total duration in playback screen, not just track progress/duration allow shuffling albums, not just tracks somehow account for series of books, perhaps a new tag to account for being in a series and what number in the series. Thus when you finish book one, it can suggest book 2. Perhaps add a "series" view similar to collections. Somehow also account for some books being in multiple series (e.g. book 12 of series A is also book 2 of the spinoff series). Somehow also account for different books in a series having different authors. Just my thoughts, but those top three or four would be enough for me to switch to Emby full time for my audiobook needs. And the rest would take it from "workable" to awesome. Many of these could be summed up as: treat audiobook albums as a single media item for most purposes (showing progress/duration, storing resume position, marking as complete, jumping forward/backward, showing recommendations of albums instead of random tracks, shuffling albums instead of tracks, recently played albums instead of tracks, queue up album instead of track when resuming, etc.)

Hi there, what update are you referring to?
