Wow this message you are trying to give is well confused and contradictory - "you" as in Emby - like the royal "we" which you also use a lot when you are not a dev. We get statements that a change was in response to a user issue as justification - even though that justification is ephemeral - so in my book thats user driven - but in the last year the vast majority of suggestions from users on this forum - fall on deaf ears or maybe get a canned response which 99/9% is meaningless as its a fob off. The whole secret development path narrative is bantha poodoo as well - kind of tired of the Mushroom Management by the devs as well - especially when other media server apps are adding new features that emby has failed to deliver on for month if not years. When a new feature is implemented - its usually half baked, done in a rush and when the devs get feedback - they run away and dont respond for days even weeks hoping the noise will go away (you do respond but as you are not a dev so you cant address the issue fully) - so feedback is not that important or they would respond and engage more with meaningful responses not the usual whiny justification for their choices for the feature rather than listening to the users who are doing their beta testing for them - which saves them a lot of time and money but appears they dont care that much or give it the respect it deserves - so it appears from the outside that its some arbitrary choice to add x or y - with poor management of the process (always been a major emby failing) and the - ooh look shiny new thing to add over there distracts the devs - and most features that have been added in the last few months, if not longer, have never been finished off to the majority of users satisfaction/acceptance. There are three updates/new features - that will start bun fights when they hit stable - because we are not being listen to! - the continue watching mess, music update, collections and all the other changes associated with collections of which there are many - none of them are finished and all have issues to a greater or lesser extent. The devs say they have options or adjustments planned - but as usual no details - because Secret Squirrel time! Additionally there are no notes/info for the users on how to use these new features (even for the beta testers) - what the changes are and what the issues the user my encounter and why - and Lukes blog posts are not the answer as its just a list of one liners and a few pictures - dont even cover the basic changes in any detail - its all feel the force time as its supposed to be easy and intuitive - its not either of those things and sorry but the knowledge base is not the answer either. We also have two new things coming in tone mapping and livetv to look forward too - dont hold out much hope for these either to be honest as LiveTV has started and stopped three time at least and the beta rollouts have been on hold for over a month waiting for Tone Mapping - which for those not aware of this raises the frustration level with the deafening silence from the devs or a fob off answer - rather than engaging as it would save them time in the long run. Oh and the point about "I'm not sure why you think a company needs to justify why it makes changes to a product" - is simply answered - we are the paying customers and also the testers who use their own free time to help out - so yes we do have a say and are justified in questioning those decisions - especially with the Mushroom Management applied to Emby - the devs can disagree and want to go in another direction - but justify it - dont hide in the shadows ignoring people's concerns or ideas on how to make it better - by not doing so you are degrading the users respect and value of your product.2 points

you said it was user driven we know thats which is why you were asked to backup your statement. you and the dev's would get more respect if you just owned your design decisions (however bad they are) rather than blaming them on some sort of ephemeral user feedback2 points
-
so the answer to the question is you don't have evidence of a single piece of feedback that has led to these changes then? simple yes or no answer will do. no essays required. max word length - one2 points

Man if this was implemented you’d have my annual subscription for life... was looking to see if this feature existed and see you’ve all been tugged along for years. Hopefully devs actually mean it when they say they’re working on it now but doesn’t seem true... To me this is such a base feature for M3U playlist support. Without it the feature is a glorified USB media player.2 points

i'm guessing you're finding it difficult to decide, what with there being so many to choose from?2 points

I would like the ability to adjust the playback speed of my videos and recordings. YouTube.com does this and i think it is a very convenient feature to have.1 point
-
yes and i completely agree and it did help me massively.1 point

Oh no, not saying that at all. Changes like this are always worth trying. Doesn't matter what a test shows. If a change fixes or helps your streaming then that's a test in itself right?1 point

Which of those menus did you look in? Hint the playlist shows up on the HOME SCREEN.1 point

@elvetemedve I think what you mean to say is that you think there's a problem with the LG video player because that is what our LG app is using. Even though you think this is your max theoretical connection, there could be ISP throttling at play here and that could be happening on either side of the connection. One thing you could try is to setup SSL on your server, using a certificate that LG devices trust. In some cases we've seen reports that having an encrypted connection is one way to beat isp throttling.1 point

Thanks for the investigation. Given the lack of errors produced by the library scan this looks like an issue in the file system layer of the .net core runtime. We'll be updating to the new .net core 5.0 release in the near future and we'll see if that might help with this.1 point

Ok i did not have to do this, i found a way to mount the folders with the white space in there names. So i du not need to change things in emby.1 point

ok i remember. i used DG2XML plus a digiguide subscription to pull down an xmltv file and then use the xmltv plugin in MP to pull in that file and then match it up. but as punktchen asked you in the other thread, if i were you i would use your schedules direct sub with epg123 and get the xmltv file that way1 point

Thanks for the quick response. That was my understanding too given that I have a KODI box that has no issues accessing shares on the AD server. That being the case, then it must be a configuration issue, which I am not able to put my finger on. I have an XG Firewall that authenticates domain users through AD without any issues and minimal configuration settings (used primarily for VPN access). I will do more digging.1 point

I said it wasn't likely to work. What you are doing is leveraging some undocumented behaviors of an internal implementation. The process is a bit convoluted and could stop working at any time since it isn't how we are logically viewing the items at this point. Proceed at your own risk .1 point

@sooty234 thank you!!! Working on an old pc to install pfsense. Looks very interesting!!1 point

If you're using optical, disable everything except DTS and AC3. Then make sure Windows audio is set to stereo. If you want to convert the unsupported audio to AC3 so you can still have 5.1 surround sound, I will have to help you further with that. It will require a more advanced configuration, but is actually quite easy to do.1 point

Hi, I would use the feature that makes sense for you. If Emby Connect will make it easier for her to get setup, then I would just do that. Entering a server url with a TV remote control can be difficult and Emby Connect helps avoid that.1 point

Exactly, as our full-time jobs, this project could not survive on donations. A donation-based model is only viable if it's a hobby project you're working on in your spare time, and if we did that, we would not have anywhere near the features that we do now.1 point

There's no entry in the tray icon to start the TVServer! The entry you've clicked is named "Open MediaPortal" which is the frontend to TVServer. But you don't need that.1 point

I can't resist saying, personally I think it looks much better to get rid of the poster entirely and brighten the backdrop so you can actually see it.1 point

You could lock the item from metadata changes after you modify the IDs...1 point

I personally would never open Emby up outside my home network without forced HTTPS connections. Maybe I am overly cautious but I think it is just good practice. While Plex solution isn't ideal it does just work. No need to purchase a domain name, not need to create SSL certificates, no need to renew the certificates. My suggestion would be for Emby to partner with a SSL cert provider and have and easy way of authenticating the cert from within the Emby dashboard.1 point

To be fair, Plex did provide quite a clever solution for this, but the trade-off was it only worked where the clients and server were connected to the plex.tv service. It marked the beginning of the end for my Plex journey1 point

You want the traffic encrypted but you don't care that some other entity is maintaining a domain pointing directly to your public IP address and they are actually the ones in control of the certificate that encrypts that traffic...?1 point

The point behind the way we use reviews is to read each and every review so we learn what people are saying. We learn if a new build has issues we haven't seen here in the forums, etc. Issues often show up in the stores before the forums! We read the reviews every couple of days and watch them multiple times a day with new releases. Every few days we reply to the messages which gives us a 2nd chance to review them again in case we've learned something (with new releases). A review with a response is a review that's been guaranteed to be read by us. It gives the person a chance to download and use the app, then a few days after the review they'll receive an email from our response to their review. Our message is crafted to thank people for trying us as well as for their support AND to inform them of our support forums which they likely don't know about. Each and every response get's emailed to the person. The store review section IS NOT where we do support but is where we often learn quickly of issues or things people don't like or have trouble with. These are often new people to Emby so the readback we read is gold to us. With only 250 total chars to work with there isn't much more we can fit. In any case how and why they are used is an internal process and not open for debate in the forums. To borrow a line from Forrest Gump "That's all I've got to say about that."0 points
