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.

This is the way this should be implemented in emby. I strongly disagree with emby negotiating to include this in Emby Premiere as it would contribute to making the lifetime subscription unsustainable. I do not use these data and do not want to subsidize those who do. Those who want it should by their own subscriptions. Just my 2 cents...

No, that isn't possible. But with the upcoming beta server i'll provide an option to remove shows from Nextup/Continue Watching.

Pretty simple suggestion. I have multiple users for my Emby server. If I want to do continuous maintenance on the media, I have to tell everyone. some of them are harder to reach than others ( i.e. no Facebook or Skype chat etc. ) It would be great if say... on the admin panel, I could hit a check box that enables 'maintenance mode', where the server still runs does everything as normal, but instead of the login screen it displays a maintenance page saying the server is unavailable. Even better if I were able to directly put a reason in a text box that would then display on the login screen as well. Not really sure what others would think of this, but for me it would be quite helpful. mostly if I want to make sure no one is trying to access content I know won't work until I've done a full library scan again. Thanks for reading. -Kyle

After some careful consideration. I think simpler is better. @PenkethBoy is correct, there is a rabbit hole here, we want to avoid falling into. To start, it would seem that in order to properly automate the tagging of baseItems, @roaku is correct it needs to be a scheduled task. The plugin configuration must be kept very simple. Here we look at the TagService in the API, and add all the options available to selection boxes. From there we create rules to tag items that exist in the libraries (also as they are added to the libraries) based on these conditions. Next, the scheduled task will move through the library items, and if the items adheres to the tagging rule, they will be tagged appropriately, and automatically. TODO: In the dialog, create a text box to list tags in. Create a way to remove saved Tags and conditions. This seems easiest. Does anyone know where a list of possible MediaInfo display types are stored in the API? For instance, "4K", "1080p". I can find "HVEC","H264", etc. but I would love to know where display value types are stored, so I don't have to create a custom list..

You'll be surprised at how little tone mapping will add to the processing. All transcoding will be 1080, so it will actually be quite easy. I'll wager that a gen 6, 4 core i5 will do up to 3 consecutive transcodes, depending on the bandwidth it's transcoding down to. 1080 @ 10Mb/s should be easy enough.

Only one reason I can think of, customers to said server. Now I would agree with say a automatically disable a user for say 3 failed password attempts.

That would likely work. I do prefer to be precise in my settings, but as a stopgap this would be fine. Most of the shows impacted will be premiering in the next three weeks, so I can also just watch the guide, and as soon as they appear, delete the old series and add a new one. When/if the cable co fixes this channel, I can always go back.

So, probably, what you are really looking for is this?

And you also haven't used the optional network path in the library config. I'd suggest you do that.

It's not transcoding. Change your hardware acceleration to d3d11.

@kaj Thank you for sharing all of this information with me. It's been very helpful and educational...very much appreciated. I think I understand your setup and I have no further questions at this time. If you ever decide to revisit implementing a Reverse Proxy, I would gladly share my learnings and setup to hopefully assist you...just shoot me a message. Thanks again

Do you have a touch input device connected?

What do you mean by entering your main profile?

@Yodikko thanks for the feedback !

you can pull up the guide during live tv playback, just nowhere else. i don't see why its a problem to have the button on the OSD regardless of the type of media being played. if it was good enough for WMC then it should be good enough for emby

well thats why you reserve ip addresses on your LAN for things like that. so the ip address won't change

make a backup first - as if this is your first time editing the db - its very easy to stuff up also the method to clear your error is not "just" delete a record or two - its much more complex than that good luck

@chef yes - when you add mediastreams into an emby request it does slow things down as the data (stream info) is returned twice for each record (or at least via the http api) - i did the same by splitting it up into chunks - or just wait - depending on need use case. 20 might be on the low side - i was getting a second or so for 100 records but it depends if the server is a donkey or not - so 20 might cover those servers - and remote servers could be a problem also. - Possible to make user configurable for beefier servers? as for hdr - its not one of emby's filters - i.e check the filter button on a movie library home page for a list - remember its dynamic so some won't show if you don't have the data in emby - e,g, i remove all the studios - so they don't appear in the filters etc etc Just in the middle of a server upgrade so dont have access to my code to check easily An idea - if you give users a small set (initially) of parameters they can select - use that as a query - then they can add tags etc to that sub set essentially you are now finding out why Luke has not added this before - its a huge rabbit hole - especially from the ui perspective.

@Luke Can you look at this for us? @rbjtech covered the issue in his last message.

Okay, that might actually be easier to write. The editor will create rules. Okay, I can do that.

Ya, the catch with just a bulk tag editor is that the user has to remember to come back and repeat the process each time they add media. If it includes a rule system with a task that can be auto triggered on a schedule and on new media, they can set it and forget it. Both bulk tag editing *and* auto tagging seem like desirable Emby features.

@hackthis02

Is this ever going to be implemented Native EDL .??.. this is the only DVR/MediaCenter that does not support EDL Natively.

but that defeats the purpose of SSL and your proxy. if you redirect 80 to 443 in nginx you're half way there, otherwise you might as well just DDNS and port forward 80 to 8096.

To me it sounds like this plugin is the exact same thing as my Trakt List to "channel" code. You make a list in trakt with your movies, feed it in to the plugin and it makes a collection for you, would be a very minor change. Plus there are UIs that do the trakt list for you, let me find that. Going this route is way easier because then you just need to pull the IMDB from the trakt lists find it in Emby, tag it with the associated tag. This is one of them, I know there is another. https://listrr.pro https://trakt.tv/users/evilhidden/lists/60s?sort=rank,asc List created and maintained by https://listrr.pro Normal Filters: Content Type: Filters Countries: gb, us Languages: en Min rating: 0 Max rating: 100 Min votes: 0 Min runtime: 30 Max runtime: 300 Min year: 1960 Max year: 1969

I don't know how to *search* for the detailed media info, but I know you can get it by item id it through the API from this endpoint: /Items/{itemid}/PlaybackInfo And if you're in a plugin handling items directly, you can call: item.GetMediaSources(true, false, _libraryManager.GetLibraryOptions(item)); ...to get the same info. These give you the media info for each version in a multi-version item, also.

No, I don't think that would work. But having multiple audio tracks instead of multiple items (along with proper default settings and tags) should.

Will do. Been a busy weekend. Fingers crossed for later today.

I'll check it once again, and come back to you.

Actually it looks like I spoke too soon - they seem to be working now!

OK I see what's going on. We'll get a fix up soon. Thanks.

Hi there, please discuss a specific example and attach the emby server log. I think the plugin developer will have an easier time responding if you do that. thanks.

Hi,if it's a true mirror of the primary server you can copy over the config and database and it should just work. As soon as you get into "everything same BUT" then it's not the same as you would need to manually change library.xml files, collections, playlists and of course database entries. Best and easiest thing to do for a 2nd/backup system is remove each mount point and replace it with the new mount point. Let it rebuild the library based on the discs and layout you use on the backup system. One thing that almost always happens is that the backup machine isn't exactly the same so don't push it to be. Keep it simple so it's it's own server available as a backup if needed. Just setup the disc and folders so you can easily copy them over and let the backup scan and add them properly just as if it were a standalone system library wise.

Looking good, could you please add things like Genre and Parental Rating if possible ? TIA

Working pagination! TODO: Field, and filter request ordering and sorting (Rating, Year, Container, Video Codec, Video Display, Video Range (HDR/SDR), Audio Codec) Select All option at the top of the table Tag editor dialog

Edit metadata of a show, under People. I believe sort arrows would be more useful there than the present recycle bin. Thanks Luke and all.

That would work, but I was hoping/expecting to be able do it thru Emby, by itself. Similar to the sort arrows in Library mgmt. EDIT: Being able to sort cast within Emby's edit metadata would be simpler,, faster, more efficient, imho. So this might be considered a feature request.

I've started the work to switch over to Nginx. I'm almost through writing all the configurations for my local DNS and then will deploy it to my VPS which will rid me of this issue. I don't know what the issues is/was. All good though learning new stuff is fun!

The OP has determined that they are behind cgNAT, so they will need to get their VPN going with a known IP. They have reached their post limit here for today, and I don't have the experience (or time, today) to help them by PM right now. Paul

Have you verified that your server's public IP address is what you think it is, using something like WhatIsMyIP? If that is not showing what you expect, you are behind cgNAT, and will need to use the VPN to get a known and consistent address, or maybe ask your ISP if they can take you off cgNAT (some will). Those extra ports are of no concern, but are part of the normal operation of NAT. Paul

Please disregard. I had inadvertently created my bookmark to the login screen instead of the home screen. It's been that kind of day!

Yes I certainly wouldn't use it for core ffmpeg transcoding, but it plays all the ATSC 3.0 samples I have which is why I created a HDHR-4K specific input addon. With a known source the main hack private stream 6 being forced to AC-4 probably isn't as bad as with unknown sources. Martin

There is an still unreleased ffmpeg patch for AC-4 in patchworks that I have working in NextPVR as far as I can test it. Martin

I ask because you wrote 8069 above. Are you sure that you forwarded the correct port through the VPN?

You need to forward the same port that you see in the dashboard. Have you successfully forwarded through your router?

The large majority of Live TV use in Emby is not from m3u but from tuners and plugins where groups don't exist. I prefer Emby, it seems to be more of a home grown community but I will test Plex again for these features. Serviio had a similar issue years back where the developers did not listen to their punters on a few features that everyone requested and unfortunately (because i loved serviio) they lost the majority of their paid users. I agree cayars, I use a tvheadend server for local DVB-T & S2, so local tuners are also part of my setup. I just dont see the problem with implementing an update that can keep both of us happy. You have the option to create groups if you desire. But... if you just want to plug & play, Emby should be capable of using all the info within the m3u to generate the groups that were encoded into the .m3u file. That should be the default action with the customisation you describe being an alternative option for more advanced users. I am excited to test the the new Live TV when released.. I hope my comments are not been taken as negative, they most certainly were not intended to be. I love this project & promote it highly on many forums, one of which as admin. I am very aware of of feature requests, I understand that every media server on the market cannot be taylored to every single users requirements but there is always (as you know) a base feature list that is the minimum requirement to compete at the top. I would argue that this feature is in that list. Also, softworkz, have you had a look at the suls open source plugin i linked above? You should test it if you have some spare time, it generates bouquets & subsections from the raw playlist and I think it would do everything you need. ebr, I agree. I should have said 80% of the people who go to the effort of posting within the m3u/iptv topic. In the overall picture, 100% of the people posting in that topic might only represent 4% or 5% of your userbase but they are all advanced users coming from satellite hobbyist community and (in my opinion) they are far more likely to purchase the the Premium upgrade than the vast majority of basic users. This is just a suggestion guys, a suggestion that I believe is in Embys interest. I have seen the satellite community evaporate since the explosion of IPTV. So, don’t miss the boat..

They need to be in the same exact movie folder. Not inside the same MKV. Most modern video player (Roku,etc) expect streaming media. These only contain a single video stream.

Hope you guys don't mind that I'm posting a Plex Forum on here but there was good information on there. It looks like they figured out some type of filters that enable the audio to work with the ffmpeg. I don't know if this can be implemented on the server but figured the brains of the operation could take a look at this . https://forums.plex.tv/t/atsc3-0-broadcast-and-ac-4-sound/647437

@@Vidman we aren't a large multi-national company with thousands of employees to monitor and maintain our media with enterprise level datacentres. we are singular people whom require a simple method of taking all content 'offline' while and when we work on our inferior systems. I have to say, your line of questioning seems mildly aggressive for little to no apparent reason... If I need an entire week to complete my maintenance, I expect my users to understand this or they can bugger off. After all, they're benefiting entirely for my hobby, right? Sure, Netflix aren't likely to do this - but quite frankly, that's an unfair comparison by all accounts.
