@Abobadr shouldn't there be a forum setting to restrict a new user to just so many posts in the first day? Someone just created an account and immediately spammed every section of the forum (28 spam messages from what his user account says).

I started marking the posts spam 4 hours after they were posted though. In the meantime there were 28 potentially harmful posts sitting out there

Yes now with mkv DV support, this information would be most handy to have.

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.

I've been waiting for this! And Peter Jackson did it right! Perfectly done, with consistency.

I really don't know how it works so maybe just ignore me. But I was thinking there shouldn't be a difference between a playlist created by that plugin vs one manually created on the server. If you don't get the movie dupe problem with normal playlists then you shouldn't get them with the trakt playlist unless it's doing something incorrectly. I would compare the two playlists (system vs trakt).

Can confirm this is working great on AppleTV running Kodi 19 beta 1.

Well I'll be... that did it. Hard power cycle for that outlet is a breaker. Deleted the app. Breaker off. Count to 30. Breaker on. Reinstall app. Set server with PIN. Turn TV off. Turn TV on. AUTOMATICALLY CONNECT TO SERVER! Woo!

@cayars Much appreciated. I moved from Plex to Emby, because Emby just works ! Very happy to help in any way, the product is good !

yes i logged on and found them all over the forums - i reported it as spam so could have been avoided i wonder what good idea we could come up with to limit a spammers impact ...... oh wait

Ah ok, so I'll stick with the Android nonTV version by now which is really a much better experience with the modified exoplayer. It does not link the watching content to the AndroidTV's main screen, but it's a good workaround until the ATV version gets the same player. Thanks!

Please try this once available: Thanks.

Ok we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

Hi. You will want to map those paths to the local storage on the box. https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44002058102-android-tv-storage-attachment

New version: https://kodi.emby.media/Public testing/next-gen-ALPHA-build619.zip Bugfixes: Musicdb is working livetv is working photos are working Apple TV and NVidia shield support (should work) Cinema mode, multiple fixes Hoping all sync issues are fixed strm files bugfixes Pending: Clean e4k settings Changelog Native mode Fix memory leak Update from 4.x tests Local Trailers General info: A datababase wipe from alpha 550 is not required, but recommended. Especially if you use strm files. Tested on: osmc Kodi 18 libreelec Kodi 18 Linux amd64 Kodi 19 Nvidia shield Kodi 19 (by Gizzmo80) Special thanks to horstepipe and Gizzmo80 for countless tests. Also to DiscoDuck79 as well as TobyTentakel for input.

No forum core settings for that, but I could modify the settings for 0-2 posts new group members or whatever, but ... I will only work on this when the main dev's personal @Luke and @ebr see the need for this. I saw the reports today, and totally agree with you all about this. PS: Regarding the dark them issue, still working on some forum issue before I start on that, sorry for the delay guys.

Patience is a virtue, especially since dolbyvision was only just recently added to the mkv specs. And just an FYI, Plex is still fighting with it and their team is far larger than Emby's.

I don't know that that makes it easier to rescan tbh. I keep my media Read Only on my NAS and Emby is a VM with local metadata. Since Emby is open to the internet, it ensures my internal network is kept safe regardless of what happens to my Emby server. I take regular checkpoints so if anything happens to the server in any way, I can easily roll back. But yes, regardless of your method, regular back ups is the way.

This is why I personally use the option to save metadata with the media files (all pictures and nfo files) and have all movies in their own directory. I would suggest in the future that you do so as well as it makes rescanning easy.

Hi, you currently can't but you can expect there will be options to manage this in future updates. thanks for the feedback.

I was looking at more for consistency on tvOS, a lot of non Emby apps use the phrase ‘Up Next’ such as all the Australian catch up tv apps and Apple TV+ That said, I can see how it would break consistency within Emby itself across different platforms, so best for me to put my OCD back on the shelf for this I think.

That might be possible. It just wasn't really a concern a long time ago when this was built.

Ahh ok nevermind, i just realized it was incredibally miss-identified. Rather than identifying it as ever after emby identified it as christmass ever after.

Okay, I managed to mount rclone in / home / drives, by doing rclone mount GoogleDrive: / home / drives --allow-other --umask 002 now emby works perfectly

I dug out an SDR TV and hooked it up to make some comparisons. I had to use Luke's ATV app for this, as the ebr's beta wouldn't play anything without remuxing the file, which I then get the green blocks. Anyway, I compared the SDR version of a movie to the same movie in HDR with the Shield tone mapping. The color mapping is very good, but they do make it a little brighter. I can definitely tell the difference between the unaltered HDR and the SDR. But, what the industry wants from tone mapping is to recreate the SDR mastering, which it appears to achieve quite well. I'm sure if I took stills of the studio SDR and the tone mapped SDR I would likely find more differences, but only people like me would ever do something like that. For the average user, they won't know the difference. They also won't be getting anything like HDR, sooooo......

FYI the error was "Busy: database is locked" so restarted resolved what ever database lock issue that happened.

Patience dear boy.

Ok Will take a look at that! When I try the download again.

Ya, I can't wait to get back into a movie theater. Hopefully, there are enough of me out there for the industry to recover once it's safe.

Problem resolved. Thanks!

It certainly is a nice setup. I have everything in an 8’ rack which I will continue to use. However, my goal is to simplify. I used to enjoy tweaking and supporting it all. Now I just want it to work as simply and safely as possible.

Wait, are you saying that you guys are 10 persons that use only one user profile? Special case would be an understatement. How do you manage to watch tv shows, with everyone messing up each others' viewing order? Also, it doesn't sound like it would be a good rating system, because you don't account for accidental plays or for the fact that tastes can be quite different in a 10 person group. There's already a rating for each item. For me. it's too of an inaccurate representation of my viewing habits,. Sometimes I fall asleep, sometimes it autoplays the next episode, but I can't watch it, sometimes I have to stop something while in progress because I have to do something else, sometimes I'm just testing something and I end up with high play counts for things that I haven't even watched As for Watched, right now it's just a flag

Hi. Its possible for the future. Thanks.

We're waiting on Synology so I can't predict that, sorry.

Hi ,yea I don't know why it does this. I'll push an update to the plugin to remove it.

Hello, i love the colecctions feature. but some time i dont know what movie is missing for this collections. i think is a good feature if you can show the poster of the movie you miss on determinated collection please find attach a example thank a lot

Bumping this once to make sure it's seen. Users that have all rights restricted definitely should not be adding or deleting collections.

Is this addon abandonware now? What's the deal? I'm going to be seriously bummed when it stops working...

I think maybe the beta server is forcing de-interlacing now. @Luke...?

Isn't this something we discussed a few years back already when Plex came out with its VR?
