I'd really like to have 2 Factor Authentication added to the login screen. It's just this (optional) extra layer of security to help secure the server (which, especially if people use camera uploads) contains pretty private data. There are for every type of programming language quite a few libraries available, so implementation on a server shouldn't be too hard to realise

Yes, I can fix it, but one step after another.

Also, It would be cool if we have various m3u lists and have the option to choose/assign each m3u list for each user.. Example. In user settings we can choose which library to give them for VOD so this shouldnt be hard enough to do it for live tv too no? USER 1 - Playlist 1 - Playlist 2 - Playlist 3 USER 2 - Playlist 3 USER 3 - Playlist 1 - Playlist 3 Etc etc.... *** Delete this message from another topic I opened because I posted it by accident there

I would like to see a search bar added to EPG Mapping. When using a list with 1000 channels it takes 20 times as long to scroll through and search for channels instead of typing in a search bar.

I know this isn't really an Emby issue, but I'm wondering if Open Subtitles is really something Emby wants to be associated to. I'm posting this here in case the the developers might not know what they are doing over there. I've been trying to get it to work. I'm using the link inside of Emby to try and "Sign up". http://www.opensubtitles.org/ I get to the site and about 2 seconds later, I'm redirected to https://watchmovies4k.vip/watch/tt0156323/?st=opensubtitles.org&cv1=rd_ Once redirected, there is no way to get back. If I manage to actually hit the register button and fill out the registration form, I'm redirected to yet another pay site which caused Malwarebytes to have a heart attack. I think my registration might have went through, but now I can't even get to the sign-in page. Like I said, this isn't an Emby issue, but I'm not sure I would want to be recommending this site to anyone.

Thanks for the confirmation RokuGuys. A script blocker did it for me. I'm not quite sure I want to sign up. Seems like it might not be a good idea for Emby to be directing users to sites filled with malware, but that's just my opinion.

No timeline for it that we can give. We aren't rushing it, but trying to tackle all past issues as well as present issue we've identified. We still have a bit to go and not trying to rush things. Personal opinion but I'd say we are 8 or 9 of 10 of on what we want to test/perfect before release for playback. So getting close, very close. I will give you a bit more info than previously mentioned. We are on the final leg of this from a design/test perspective. @softworkzis both updating a private server version we test against but also a private test app. The test app is very user specific and sort of dev oriented in that we the users using the app can create graphs and test them against our tuners/m3u sources. When we validate things in this app they move to the server core for testing. The test app allows us to do things manually that Emby doesn't allow so it's great for testing! This test app allows us to test thing easily against different tuner types, m3U files, etc. So we can identify issues and get fixes before being implemented in the server core. For playback, we are testing the last bits in this test app which are looking good. From here these will go to the server core. So we are getting close to a release for general test but not pushing it.

Posting this for people who like myself are new to Unix/Synology and want to use WinSCP with write/delete capabilities to have more control when managing their Emby server from a Windows machine. Warning!! Once you've done this you will have administrator access using WinSCP all the way to the root folder of your NAS and you can really mess things up if you're not sure what your're doing. 1. Reset superuser privileges on NAS. This will also stop the sudo command from prompting administrators for a password in order to work with WinSCP. Open DSM Control Panel Click Task Scheduler Create a task General tab: (Uncheck "Enabled") Task Settings tab: text version of "Run command" field (copy/paste the information below to be safe): cat <<EOF > /etc/sudoers Defaults syslog=authpriv root ALL=(ALL) ALL %administrators ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL EOF chmod ug=r,o= /etc/sudoers (Click "OK") Then run the new task you just created*: (Click "Yes") * You may need to run the task again after every DSM update as Synology tends to reset these privileges themselves --- 2. Enable SSH on NAS Open DSM Control Panel Click Terminal & SNMP Terminal tab: (Check "Enable SSH service" and then click "Apply") --- 3. Setup WinSCP Download and install WinSCP on Windows machine https://winscp.net/eng/download.php Allow WinSCP to start Login box: File protocol: SCP Host name: enter the NAS host name or IP address Port number: enter the port number from step 2 User name: "admin" Click "Login" Password: use your admin password

I was trying to find a way to add a custom selection from my movie library as a Home Screen section and did not find a way. For example: I would like a section with all movies that shows all movies tagged as "Kids Movies", are based on a certain parental rating, are sorted by release date, etc. So my feature request is to be able to add additional Home Screen sections of existing libraries which have specific filter and sorting options applied.

Don't know how many of you know what PseudoTV is on Kodi but basically it is a plugin that allows you to create an EPG full of your own custom TV channels using your entire media library into one big channel surfing experience on your library. Emby, I believe, would be amazing for this and really make it stand out if something like this was official supported as the only support for something like this is a little plugin on Kodi. Features: Create custom TV channels using smart filters (e.g. 500 random movies that are from 2010 and newer and genre is Horror, 25 random tv episodes that are from Fox network). Allow creation of an unlimited number of channels using these filters and assign them channel numbers Automatically generate an EPG/TV Guide using all of these custom channels and randomly assign the scheduled program at a specific time Allow sorting of the channel shows (random, in order, asc, desc) Allow channels like FX to play both TV shows from FX but also incorporate movies at specific time periods like primetime movies Allow trailers to play in between shows as well as Channel Bumpers/intro videos Allow integration with Live TV using PVR Allow YouTube channels, USTVNOW, Playon perhaps? Ability to add a logo to your custom channels Background updating that would auto generate / update all the channels and shows after a specific period of time And so on

It would be very useful to link text metadata from the "Overview" section to other Emby media as well as HTML links to external content.

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

Here is the scenario: You have 2 versions of the same movie, a director's cut and a theatrical cut. Director's Cut is 2:14 with 18 chapters Theatrical Cut is 1:48 with 16 chapters. In the client UI (both web and Roku, and I assume all others), in the movie details page the time/length element, "Ends at" element, and all the chapters (number, thumbnails, etc.) are based on the 1st version alphabetically. So, for our example, it would show a length of 2:14. If it was 07:00 the End At would be 9:14, and there would be 18 thumbnails for the chapters. ... as the Director's cut is the 1st version. This doesn't change even if you use the Version pull down menu to select the other version. I suspect Emby is basing the length (and hence the Ends At) off the metadata not the file itself. I would like the UI to change those 3 fields base don the selected version in the pull down menu. So it starts off with length of 2:14. If it was 07:00 the End At would be 9:14, and there would be 18 thumbnails for the chapters. But, if I switch to Theatrical, the UI switches to length of 1:48. If it was 07:00 am the End At would be 8:48, and there would be 1_6_ thumbnails for the chapters. Thanks

Hi, we don't currently have an option for this, but it's something we plan to add in future updates. thanks for the feedback.

OK I'll try to incorporate this. Thanks.

I really think a headless client is needed that's not theater, specifically for music. I'd guess without the UI component, the PI would run a whole loot cooler.

Wow...ok. So the mouse cursor above these shows as a character insert, kinda like a capital "I" in some fonts and didn't change back to a normal mouse icon (similar as if you are selecting text by dragging) so I didn't realize you could click it! If you move the mouse over the trash icon you'll see the mouse icon change back to an arrow. Not sure if that makes sense? Anyway, very odd mouse behaviour... Now I know about this, this does indeed appear to do what I need. Thank you very much for your help!!

4.5.4 is about to roll out so please see if that helps. It won't make the current queue go away, so you may need to delete the excess jobs, but hopefully it won't happen again after that.

The bug is fixed in 4.6.0.8 beta. Thank you, great job!

Ok thanks for reporting. We'll try to chase it down.

Thanks for looking at this @chef @ebr So theoretically, if I'm doing everything right in my project definition...and the dll I'm depending on is present in '\EmbyServer\system'...it should be available to my plugin at runtime? Or should it be in another directory? I've got that file not found error, but I can't figure out what directories that class loader is scanning when it fails to find my dependency file. I'm not disregarding the advice to include the dependent source code directly, but that quickly escalated into what felt like a bigger problem to figure out in its own right, and I'm just trying to work out a proof of concept at this point.

@ebr as the original requester I wanted to clarify (and maybe hopefully get this through after all this time) as it is becoming clearer that most of the focus on this is around copyright and the requirement to create a user account to utilise emby i didn’t want to request the ability to share to Facebook etc, I was hoping to be able to share home video items (library or directly) on occasions such as kids Christmas concerts (recent example) I don’t want these to be available on Facebook etc and would be happy for them to be locked to say a pin code (this would be good actually as people couldn’t just have the link) purely because I don’t have an emby account for each family member and they don’t like the complex passwords I enforce when allowing external authentication could we make special links that require a pin only and were only valid for x amount of time ? edit: perhaps lock the functionality to library of media type ‘home media’ ?

oh, yeah! Best regards and happy holidays!

Unfortunately, the Samsung app will never Direct Play if you use PGS subs. They just aren't supported when played from the TV. If you look at your users manual you should find a chart which looks something like this: The only choices are either using a subtitle format which the TV supporta, or letting Emby convert them to something your TV supports. If you must have PGS then another Shield is a good choice and they're on sale right now at several places.

thanks for reply. Unfortunately I should restart my kodi and replicate the issue because Kodi is running from... a few weeks and log file is very big My last scan has been successfully completed 1h ago; I changed settings in emby-for-kodi addon: "show update message if items are more than: 20". So far no update message shown thanks again. I follow-up this thread uploading my cleaned log file

Yes, there is a huge difference between sharing your photos from your phone and sharing videos on public sites. There are not agencies like the MPA searching for your photos being copied on public sites. And the technicalities of one thing vs another are largely irrelevant here because the people making these decisions: 1) don't really understand what we are in the first place but the closest thing they have seen that looks like us are pirate free movie systems so we have to look as different from that as possible and 2) they hold all the cards and don't even need a reason to not allow us to be in their stores. If they don't like us or feel, even in the slightest, that we might be doing something shady, they can simply kick us out. They don't have to prove anything. Their stores are private platforms and they are allowed to decide who is in them and who isn't.

Just tried the link and as the OP suggested, it redirected to the watchmovies site and the browser back button was disabled as well. It takes you to random sites each time on mouse click, with pop up malware and stuff. Kinda scary. Even my AVG antivirus showed a pop up stating blocked some sites as blacklisted. Once I installed the uBlock add on, it fixed the redirect and now I can browse and search for movies. But the add on counter already shows as it blocked over 650 links in under 3 minutes. Not very reliable site I would say if this is how it behaves. Use at your own risk.

Dictionary definition: A once decent, but now overly commercialized software application for viewing media approved by the overlords managing the Plex application, or other media sources in which they are able to negotiate commissions or kickbacks with. Alternatively: a metallurgy process similar to tempering steel, in which it becomes more pliant and malleable. Oh wait, that would be Flex not Plex, my bad. LOL

Plex??? What's a plex? LOL If it works with Emby that's all we care about. LOL

@GWTPqZp6b @ozi83 @wondermouse @cTurtle98 @Radhi @Devdroid If this is still relevant to you guys, be sure to like the first post so that this feature will go up in priority, thanks!

I didn't realize I was looking at the beta instructions on https://emby.media/freebsd-server.html Working well so far. Thanks!

But renaming the folder requires the equivalent renaming of the files to maintain those requirements. So just renaming the folder breaks things, which is expected, but renaming the files to match repairs things again. My earlier musing was because it hadn't been made clear back then that for this purpose the id is part of the name that must be matched - which has now been confirmed. Until then it could conceivably have been stripped off for separate processing. Paul

Hi, yes I agree it would be a useful addition. Thanks for the feedback.

Simple custom css. a.sectionSeeAllButton {display: none;}

Hi, in future, in Emby Server 4.6, this won't happen anymore because Emby won't care about the album folder name.

I've also discovered that if your album folders are named with a year in front of them, so like "(1990) Album Name" Emby goes a bit crazy. I had a duplicate of an artist and no matter what I did I couldn't get rid of the second one. I went though and made sure the artist folder was correctly named, I checked the tags on the audio file and triple checked that the artist name was exact, I removed the album artist tag and left just the normal artist tag. I made sure that both v1 and v2 tags were the same. I removed the folder from the storage space and put it somewhere else, rescanned, then replaced the folder and scanned again and watched the duplicate come right back. I even went through and made sure every .nfo file was removed, nothing worked. Then I finally tried removing the (1990) year from the album folder names and presto! Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's a bug. Either way, I hope this helps someone else.

It's really great the way the theme audio continues when navigating through info on a movie or series and fades when leaving. It would be great if the audio of video backdrops faded out also when leaving.

I've dozens of duplicate artists, where the duplicate has no song or album listed. All share the same artist name but different and invalid musicbrainz ids. I noticed that emby recognizes a tag which "musicbrainz id, musicbrainz id" as one musicbrainz id and creates a new artist. That seems like a bug to me, what do you think @Luke?

Maybe something like this if you need more spacing otherwise you would have to target specific sections. div.itemMainScrollSlider .verticalSection:not(.detailMainContainer) {padding: 1em 0 0 0;}

Something like this but you will have to look at each sections margin-top, unless you like the stripes. div.itemMainScrollSlider div.verticalSection {background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);}

You mean something similar to this? But I don't see on there version /*Continue Watching-Next Up-Itemdetails Progress indicator*/ div.innerCardFooter {background: transparent;} div.itemProgressBar { background: transparent; height: 22em; } div.itemProgressBarForeground {background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.5);}

Hi there. I migrated server a few weeks ago and only recently noticed the issue where all libraries were "mixed content". I noticed this because I was having issues with some movies I had re-added, weren't going into their collections. The issue with "mixed content" is a known issue and has since been resolved. In my case, before I knew how to fix it, I re-created all my libraries. This has now complete, I removed all the old ones, uninstalled and re-installed the Auto Box set plugin. I'm still having a "Collections" issue. The issue is, I only have one movie in the "Matrix Collection". When I check their metadata in Emby I see: Movie Emby Metadata edit: TheMovieDb Collection Id: The Animatrix 2344 The Matrix 2344 The Matrix Reloaded 2344 The Matrix Revolutions 2344 I ran "Scan all library files" I ran "refresh box sets" in Auto Box Sets plugin I clicked each movies context menu in the library and clicked "refresh metadata" > Replace all metadata > Refresh Refresh metadata on Movies and Collections libraries ( "refresh metadata" > Replace all metadata > Refresh ) Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion rbjtech. I've only noticed the Matrix but there could be more so if this works I might delete/recreate them all. I had a look at the xml file and it did only have the Animatrix in it. I've just deleted: /var/lib/emby/data/collections/The Matrix Collection [boxset] Re-scanned Movies library and "refresh boxsets". That fixed it! Thanks. I think somthing funny has gone on with it after having to recreate all my libraries again. I think I'll delete them all and re-create to make sure I won't have issues in the future. Thanks

Nice one Wilhelm, thats more or less what I was looking for. Thanks for your help

Use https://github.com/Taxel/PlexTraktSync to sync your plex watched status to Trakt, then use the Emby trakt plugin to sync from Trakt to Emby. This is how I keep my installs in sync. No need for trakt Premier.

Quick and dirty /*Itemdetails Buttons Round*/ div.detailButton-content {padding: 0 10px 0 0;} div.detailButton-content i.detailButton-icon { -webkit-border-radius: 50%!important; border-radius: 50%!important; padding: .5em!important; width: auto!important; min-width: 0!important; }

Thanks. I actually saw that thread earlier but it was before all the replies explaining how to fix. I probably never would have looked in there again. Thanks again.

Not to worry, it's not something we'd ever require by default.

If this is implemented, can it be a 2-part optional setting? Currently i have my server set "no pass on server network" "pass not on network" as my server is meant only to be used by myself and gf. I don't want (and certain don't wish to hear the complaints) that we need 2FA when at home. I would, however, like to see it implemented for my "away" usage.

Not all live TV is free and the only thing that makes something a home video in Emby is you telling us that's what it is. Many of the services we rely upon are very hawkish about any sort of public sharing capability. I think the suggestion of a user with access to a single library is probably your best bet at this point.
