Major steps forward here! Mainly here: https://github.com/chefbennyj1/Emby.IntroSkip/blob/master/IntroSkip/IntroDetectionScheduledTask.cs#L38 Oh my!

I'd like to have the option to clear 'alerts' in the dashboard. I realize that they go away on their own, but if I can clear them then it's more obvious IF a new alert comes through.

@jaycedk @nitrup93 its still there - i just installed it on my test server - ver 1.7.0.3 i have a suspicion that its windows only

Remember that your forum/Connect account is different from your server account. That message is for the server account; are you on the same network as the server, as it requests? Paul

When setting up a new user I think it would be great if I could copy an existing user. Even better if you could copy certain aspects of a user like views , library access , parental settings

ability to be able to add a collection into another collection. ie: Spiderman Collection into a SuperHero Collection. like i could with mediabrowser with shortcuts. TIA

Request: Add a visual seeking method with progress bar using thumbnails from chapter markers or the 10 second thumbnail generator (as defined by the users server options) for skipping. Now that the >> << are remapped to next and previous items in a list there is no way to conveniently skip chapters during playback. Exiting and going back to the details page to select the next chapter is inconvenient and so is clicking skip forward 50 times at 30 seconds a pop to get to where you want to be. The ATV chapter skipping and visual seeking methods are good examples of a way to advance/reverse on the progress bar using thumbnails . Click the UP key could bring up a slider where you can select chapter images and/or the newer bif images. Then you can use the left and right arrow to scroll through the images Currently the UP and DOWN keys are both mapped to bring up the OSD, so the UP should be free for other things like a chapter skipping slider

Feature request for Auto Box Sets & the Emby server to show missing collection items / placeholder images for what we don't have that is part of a collection. http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/22732-auto-box-sets-show-missing-collection-items/ Thanks, hoping to see it worked out.

HDR accurate color mapping

G'day, I thought it might be useful for us to begin to discuss more on the subject of portable media server solutions. I like to travel, sometimes with others - and to have a decent solution for all - to watch my library of Movies and TV Series, both in planes and hotel rooms. I apologize however, that I have not yet studied enough, all of the other topics in this area on the forum. It looks like I have been able to get an Emby Server working both on my Windows Laptop (obviously) but, now also on my Samsung S10. I have however not succeeded to date, with getting my traveling size library loaded in to any media server working on either the Samsung S8+ (android 9) or, my Samsung Tab A (android 9.) They both seem unable to mount my two portable WD Passport drives connected via the battery pack powered hub. I had re-formatted both of these 3TB and 4TB drives with exFAT, but that did not solve the problem. I will try soon using the Paragon exFAT/NTFS USB android app, which may also allow me to reformat the drives back to NTFS if I choose. My current working hardware is as follows: Smartphone - Samsung S10 with Android 10 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 855. Laptop - Asus ZenBook with Windows 10. USB Drives - WD Passport portable 3TB and 4TB. USB C Hub - Ecoiou from Amazon with 3 USB A, HDMI, USB C power-through, Audio pass-through and Ethernet. Battery Pack - Anker PowerCore Lite 20000MAh. HDMI Connection and Media Player for TV in hotel room - Amazon Fire Stick 4k. Portable WiFi Routers - HooToo Wireless Travel Router or/and TP-Link TL-WR902AC AC750 Wireless WiFi Travel Router. I will now investigate if I can use, for each scenario, just my Samsung S10 with Emby as my server and the other devices as clients. So far, it looks like I can get more than 5 hours running without 110 volts. I of course, needed to change settings on my phone for it to not go to sleep with the Emby server app running. I have tried very many solutions over a few years that would work both on the plane AND in hotel rooms, but usually ended up needing at least two server solutions until now. I have tried Plex, Kodi, VLC, various DLNA choices and many different hardware and software pieces. Using Emby Android Server and this hardware setup may well be (by far) the best for me currently, although I recognize that Emby Server for Android is still in beta after a few years development. I am hoping that by participating, I might help this project to be completed and dependable. Cheers, Jan

Hi, It would be helpful if you add collections to search results. If you have a few hundred collections, it become a chore to find what you are looking for by sorting through them manually. The same argument could be made for Genres, specially with genre cleaner plugin and Emby's ability to handle custom genres. Optional: If polluting the results is an issue then perhaps a search syntax could be added that you can type in the search box to make the results more specific. example; collections: search-query (only returns the results from collection) genres: search-query (only returns the results from genres) custom-media-library: search-query (only return the results from that specific library) Thanks,

Yes it should say that. Being in a different timezone from the server is ok. The issue is mainly about being in the same timezone and having devices whose clock times are slightly off from the server.

Will do! Could also be rouge session IDs in the paused list... Should probably check that too. If all else fails, we could probably use a boolean.

What do you have now, 150ms? I'd crank it up to a second like you are suggesting. If that doesn't take care of it then what we are thinking is happening, probably isn't.

Alright it's time to lock this thread. I think we have an understanding of this. Thanks guys.

Unaware of what? Are you for real? Given your complete refusal to explain anything other than your expectation that a feature should do the exact opposite of what it's designed for, your accusations are incredibly amusing.

I spent $700 on the Mac Mini. The Xeon's originally retailed for $700 each in 2014.

I have no idea why taking part of the fingerprint doesn’t work, but I can’t imagine encoding ~1 minute of audio taking too much longer. So, I think it’ll be fine for now, but I can do some tests to see what I can find. EDIT: After testing, grabbing just the theme song fingerprint works just fine if both fingerprints compared are the same length (I just appended a few 0s to the end of the theme song fingerprint to make both match). If they don’t match, the "getBestOffset" function that I have won’t slide the episode fingerprint all the way so you won’t be able to get the right offset.

But that task has absolutely nothing to do with the placeholder display thumbnail. But I don't see a requested debug log though. But without more log info it is hard to says as I already post the log shows them being created.

Yes it's possible for the future. Thanks.

Just to entertain this idea, yes it is possible to add an option in the plugin to only allow users to login who already exist (with the same name) in Emby Server. That means you'd have to create users in Emby Server manually that match the LDAP users. So yes that is technically possible, but if you need this immediately then the LDAP filters are something you can use today that will accomplish the same thing.

They could be, yes. Not that I have reason to suspect you doing anything like that, but it's the sort of thing where you might as well just use the dedicated functions for those file types. Plus sometimes we might be mobile, and it's just quicker and easier if we can see everything right here.

With multi version videos there's a selection dropdown to choose the version. So it's up to you wich version will be played. Or what i am missing?

If you haven't guessed it by now I am a lifetime member in the self inflicted bullet hole in the foot club as well as the permanent possessor of the Dunce cap in the school of hard knocks. So I believe in sharing my mistakes and solutions in the hopes of reducing my competition for those titles. <chuckles>

this issue is still present but i doubt jellyfin will have fixed it either. the only way to stop it is the threat of violence against your users

Hi, the emby server log will show the path to the server's data folder, and then from there you go down to plugins\configurations\trakt.xml

A cable is just more reliable. WiFi can break more easily, todays great connection can be problematic tomorrow, due to more routers/clients in your area fighting for a good channel. I'd go wired whenever i can.

Yes so just make sure to use the https version of the site, though you'll need to have https setup on your emby server in order to be able to use that.

Completed 100% for spanish language.

It there was, I guess it'd be pretty high number as I have 15-odd Libraries all showing. Did you explore the options in Settings>Home Screen?

This is something we're continuing to work on improving. Thanks for the feedback.

There's good advice here, but let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. thanks !

@altairr I'd love to know if the new version in the catalogue fixes the issue. The threshold of the delay can be customized, so if you find it still not meeting expectation, please mention it here in this thread. 1. Fixed un-paused session removal - order of operation to beginning of the method 2. Added Task Delay (150) //<- probably could be higher to compensate for altairr's 500ms. Cool! @BillOatman thank you sir! nice to know we're surviving 2020! blah!

I have also confirmed that TV Shows exhibit the same behavior - delete them on the server and the changes do not propagate to Emby for Kodi.

for the last time - you dont have a gpu in your cpu you would need a ryzen ending with a "G" for graphics - the hdmi port is there should you have one of those cpu's - and means nothing if you dont

Preserving playback speed from one item to the next, similar to what happens with the playback bitrate setting, would be a nice update. +1 for that idea.

Plex announced HDR to SDR tonemapping in beta today (Plex Media Server - Announcements - Plex Forum). Time for Emby to start catching up.

Hi there @crazyquark, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. thanks !

I wouldn't like this. I understand the reasoning behind it but this is a navigation and management interface to me. I don't want the shape of things on the screen to suddenly change because I waited a moment on a particular poster. In your screenshots I stopped scrolling for a moment to consider if I wanted to watch a 'Has Fallen' movie. A moment later I can't even see the next three collections as the serve helpfully reminds me what's in the highlighted collection. Presumably now if I push right on the d-pad equivalent, I don't go to the Ant Man collection, I go to a 'Has Fallen' movie. It reminds me of the auto-previews in Netflix. Clearly they think they're helping, but the impact on my use is that I learned to make sure to never stop moving long enough to let the freaking noise start up.

To gauge interest... What if you had the ability to "Forget" a series for the purposes of Next Up display. That is, it would no longer show in Next Up - unless you watched another episode. Sometimes you maybe watch a series for a while and, even though there is more of it or more is made later, maybe it isn't as good as the earlier seasons or maybe you just don't have time for it anymore. So you'd like it to quit showing up in your Next Up list so it is less cluttered and you can focus on the series you are actually watching now. If you start watching it again, the "forget" would be forgotten and it would start to show up in Next Up again.

Me too. As emby's main purpose is to act as a library for your media, not being able to correctly archive your dvd and blueray collection of TV shows is a major shortcoming. We shouldn't have to mess around with renaming shows with special prefixes or bundling several seasons of extras into one unwieldy unsorted folder or even video-editing files to combine them into one and using specialist software to create chapters, all workarounds that can work but totally counter intuitive, especially as you have the already intuitive system of extras folders for movies that you could just replicate.

+1 (and liked) This is still a mess but you already have a simple mechanism for handling it that you created with movie extras, why so hard to implement it for TV Series?

Test #1. Note: I got a lifetime Emby Premier license, so have access to all client apps. Setup: Emby Server on Samsung S10 (100% charged.) Two WD portable drives connected to USB Hub (total 7TB), which in turn was connected to S10 via USB C. Battery pack (100% charged) also connected to hub. S10 and all clients (except PC's) networked via WiFi using house router. The video files on the hard disks are organized correctly, with correct file names, NFO files, and artwork provided in each folder by Media Center Master. Have not checked if Emby server got metadata and other files from scraping, or reading local files. 1. Tried running Emby clients one at a time to server from: Sony Android TVs. Connected to server OK, but failed with message saying "too many errors," when trying to play any video files. Emby client works fine connecting to any of my other Emby servers on PC's. Did not try KODI with Embycon addon. Samsung S10 smartphone. Using either browser (from link in Emby Server App,) or Emby client app, could not play any video files. Several different issues when trying to play videos from itself, (Emby server on same device.) Amazon Fire Stick 4k. Using Emby app, connected to server OK, but failed with message saying "too many errors," when trying to play any video files. Emby client works fine connecting to any of my other Emby servers on PC's. Using Embycon addon for Kodi, worked fine and could play anything, played direct. All of the following played direct, so I have not tested transcoding. PC's. Using Emby Theater, or browser. Connected to server OK and was able to play TV Series and Movies of various resolutions and with audio either stereo, or 5.1. Theater app on 1 of the 2 PC's however would not display anything to control playback, or to minimize screen, or close. Have not explored this problem further. LG G Pad 4 tablet. Emby Android app worked fine and could play anything on server. Samsung Tab A tablet. Emby Android app worked fine and could play anything on server. Samsung S8+ smartphone. Emby Android app worked fine and could play anything on server. 2. Next I tried to see how many clients could play at the same time with this setup. Initial Conclusion so far, after just the one test, is that 3 could play simultaneously fairly well, with some very short (usually less than .5 of a second) video freezes or blips. Adding a 4th device seemed to work for a while, but then 2 of the devices started with longer buffering freezes (now with turning circle) and after a few minutes the apps froze on two of the devices and could not recover. Not sure about whether these problems were because of the server app, the S10 resources itself, WiFi issues, or something else. The server app seemed to have some troubles with keeping track of played/not played status and getting all of the artwork from the video files folders. It was also important to make sure at the start, that the server app kept running for full original library scan, before trying anything. The Emby Server on my S10 has run now for 3.5 hours (with both drives connected) and 3 (then 2) clients playing videos. The battery pack still shows 3 out of 4 level indicators lit and the S10 is still fully charged. Looks like this all could run for a fair bit longer than the initial suggestion of 5 hours.

Now that you mentioned.. Ebr, does the ATV app have something like this? Iirc once it's buffering during playback or skipping it doesn't. The image simply freezes.

Did anything ever come of this as this would be a really cool feature - even if it just dumped the missing films into a text file or added the info into the log. I noticed on a recent debug log, that the Auto-Box set is logging a pretty comprehensive list of what it finds in the Collections - it's just a real shame that it doesn't list 'did not find X' as I could then at least pull that out the logs. 2019-03-24 21:55:22.186 Debug Auto Box Sets: Found box set 453993 with 2 members. 2019-03-24 21:55:22.187 Debug Auto Box Sets: Box set already exists. Will confirm members. 2019-03-24 21:55:22.187 Debug Auto Box Sets: Member The Wolverine already exists 2019-03-24 21:55:22.187 Debug Auto Box Sets: Member Logan already exists I'm missing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" so could the plug-in simply write this to the log with something like - 2019-03-24 21:55:22.187 Debug Auto Box Sets: Member X-Men origins : Wolverine missing ..and then I can scrape the log file for the word 'missing' to get a list of all my missing titles ? For items that aren't even collections (as there is only 1 item) - then it seems to identify these too. 2019-03-24 21:55:22.186 Debug Auto Box Sets: Found box set 531242 with 1 members. 2019-03-24 21:55:22.186 Debug Auto Box Sets: Ignoring set because only has 1 member (needs at least 2). ..so don't ignore it - write an entry on what movies are missing ! It's a shame this is actually only visible in 'Debug' log mode - as it's actually really useful ! Thanks.

We'll look into that, thanks.

The Bose Soundtouch 10 accept the following audio formats for direct play: mp3, aac, flac, ogg, wma and wav This is what I was able to test. It would be really, really cool if the dlna server from Emby could be made compatible with the Bose app. If required I can provide info.

Honestly I was just looking for something that would "see a collection, look at it, see if you had it all, if not.. show you what you are missing" .. but ONLY for existing collections. The "consuming" part of that is.. does the user have only 1 movie set as collections.. or 2.. or 3.. If so, get the details on whats missing and treat them as "missing episodes" etc. I wasn't suggesting all this show every movie every actor has ever done stuff.. .. Just help me fill my collections that are not complete. The info is there.. in the same place as you get the collection info from in the first place.
