Program information when playing a channel is displayed in the OSD Live TV Info in the OSD refreshes automatically Tabs in OSD now match the orderding of the native player Tabs in OSD are now hidden when appropriate instead of disabled to match native player Look and feel updates to OSD and transport/seek bar to match native player Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that prevented Live TV Series recording settings from being changed Fixed a bug in MPV where the menu button would not work to stop playback Fixed a bug that stopped playback when using MPV when invoking Control Center Fixed a bug that prevented the ability to change music quality settings

I know this has been mentioned but per the instruction to create a new thread for each item, I'm going to err on the side of redundancy solely on the fact that this is the single most important item for us audiobook listeners. Feel free to moderate as needed, I asked for clarification here but didn't receive a response:

Some more months before the old api's are shutdown:

Someone who has one would have to take up that work,

I think this should be added as one of the image providers.

While I don't know how many people "track" this, the narrator of an audio book can have a huge impact on its enjoyment so I think we should plan for it.

You know how some TV series will crossover quite frequently? Some quick examples are: Flash/Arrow or Chicago Fire/P.D./Med ... You get the picture. If the movie collections could be morphed to handle these scenarios, we'd be able to add another tab in television libraries that tracks episodes across multiple "frequent crossover" shows by air date instead of flipping back and forth to figure out which one to watch next. Depending on development capabilities, each TV show should remain displayed in the regular library list individually, but maybe just include episodes from the other likely-to-crossover shows inline with their episodes. Of course, these would then need to be sorted by airdate instead of strictly season/episode designation. This would be a better solution to display these likely-to-crossover episodes than to segregate then into collections because it is not commonplace for movie/TV databases to collect metadata and images for TV show collections like this. I don't know if any other media software providing this feature... It could definitely help attract more converts from other platforms.

I believe a nice added feature is to have the ability to timeout partially watched shows automatically. Being able to set an expiration of resume point on titles. My kids love to watch videos but never seem to finish then, so they have a ton of titles that have resume points. What would be a nice addon would be the ability to either set the resume point to expire after X number of days. By default the resume point will be kept indefinitely. Adding in, let's say, "30" will then set all the resume points last set 30 days ago to expire and the resume point data be removed from the title for the user. This should be a global setting that applies to all users in the system. Wording of the feature can be different. Thanks, \ above1

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

Currently Audiobooks are basically mirrored after the music layout in Emby. There is a "Suggestions" section at the top of the screen that lists random audiobook chapters when selected. This is not something that is useful in the context of an Audiobook. It would be more helpful to replace "Suggestions" with an "Up Next" section that lists either the current chapter that you haven't finished or the next chapter in the book that you are listening to. It would be fine to track several books on this screen.

This will probably need to happen after books are treated as a single item regardless of tracks, but be able to bookmark various spots in the book and jump back to various timestamps. Might need to account for playback speed. Raising concern here for the checklist.

Currently because the Audiobooks section of Emby is mirrored after Music, there are two headings on the Audiobooks Page for "Album Artists" and "Artists". Please replace these with a heading for "Authors".

Play state can be restored via backup plugin

That is good news. Thanks for the info.

Thank you @cayars!!

add something like this. div.playlistIndexIndicatorImage .listItemOverlayButton-imagehover i {display: none;}

Sort of related, but can you modify one of the two icons because they are exactly the same. At least until when/if the two are ever merged. Add the word TV or change the color, or something

Do you own this server? Do you have a server log to post if you do? If you don't own the server, contact the administrator of the server for help as there is nothing more we can do for you.

Depending on budget I would suggest either a MiBoxS or a Shield. Both should work pretty fine with Emby (have a MiBoxS myself).

I ended up writing a script which creates .strm files (with associated .jpg's), and adds them as fake 'specials' in Season 0. The reason this works now is because the latest Beta actually honours the special positioning (and plays it in sequence + adds to 'Next Up' etc) - on the current Release it would ignore the specials... making the entire venture pointless. The part I haven't got around to automating yet is the API (or modifying the NFO) required to update the special item metadata to display in the right playback sequence - but this is easily done manually by just adding the 'Special' metadata to identify what episode to play before. (see below for an example of how it looks). The #1 issue with automating any of this is of course there is no REFERENCE or ONLINE metadata to grab. I solved this by creating my own lookup locally, so I can recreate easily on a library re-build etc. Unless you automate it - manually creating the links are possible - but are potentially wiped out with a db refresh etc - so be wary of this.

This is the key point - if nobody else is using the ISP wifi - you are probably ok, but it's when you get multiple devices (ie 10+) the ISP hardware is not designed for this and simply craps out. Decent prosumer AP's such as Unifi are designed for 100's of simultaneous connections, thus they don't break a sweat when you use them in a home environment and can handle multiple 4K streams without issue.

Depends if your ISP was the few that aren't tight asses... But most will give a shit router compared to what is out There

@markdj I reviewed your log. The issue is here: ERROR: EMBY.core.HTTP: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check This issue seems not directly related to the plugin, but I try to find a workaround. https://github.com/psf/requests/issues/5428

Clients do not redirect this way because there is an RFC (Internet specification) which specifies situations in which redirection is not allowed. It came up in a thread earlier this week, but I can't find it right now... You should be fine if the https: is explicitly specified in the client so that redirection is not required. Paul

yeah it'd be simply not letting you continue if you cant provide external database information on wizard, so you can either hit back and not choose advanced database setup and choose the easy button or figure out wtf an external db server is, why you'd want one and if its worth the setup.. We need no UI for editing DB config as thats often required to be done offline w/out app running, give us a database.conf with examples commented out, and a .sql file with the expected structure, we dont even need a wizard tbh but I know the devs dislike idea of having config files to edit from other requests I've made. If they ever implement this it'll have a wizard I suspect. Dont have to support converting backends after the fact, almost nothing else does. The most we could ask for here is an easy api for dumping the internal db into a standard .sql file ready import, but the community can tool up scripts to dump sqlite to a database server, then edit the configs by hand for the of us willing to travel down such a path massaging our old data into a new database.. that right there would block any pleb not able to run a database server from ever trying it out just because it was there, yet the power users would not be hindered.

so then propose a bounty for all and not a per licensing deal.. Ask me for $1k license to make this happen and I'll tell you to walk into the ocean.. throw up a $1k bounty to make this happen for the whole community and I might just give you a big chunk of a Stimulus check.. You'll catch more flies w/sugar, but I'm getting a feeling analogies are not your strong point. I dont think you guys have the insights into what 99% of your users are doing, unless you are spying on everyone I didnt see any option to opt out of any telemetry.. how many features have been implemented already that 1% of people use? Webhooks? LDAP Auth? Legacy MediaBrowser XML Metadata? IPTV? STRM Files? I'd wager the average emby user has no idea wtf any of that is but you guys implemented it. Clearly Emby has been catering to power users with its feature set, you guys made it easy to run behind a SSL terminating load balancer, give us fine tune control over our bandwidth and users, you let us do creative things you didnt intend for in many areas of the application.. I simply dont get the resistance to an external database, especially since all of us know this is not a technically challenging request that would require massive man-hours to implement. This is not a feature going to be used on accident, people are not going to intentionally opt out of the bundled sqlite backend for an external database on accident or without intention and understanding.

@arrbee99 Something like this div.osdPlaylist .listItemImageContainer img {display: none;} or div.osdPlaylist img.listItemImage {display: none;}

You said the item was imported into Emby and displays in the Library, correct? Emby will not automatically add a item to a Collection if there is not matching TMDBCollectionid. This is a custom collection and the item has to be manually added to said collection.

Not yet, but I plan to add specialized subtitle behavior that shows the language.

The LED's can be setup based on the size of the display and receives the image from the source so I imagine it would look the same.

HI, yes given enough demand, more options are certainly possible for the future. Thanks for the feedback.

Sourcecode is now available in git: Stable: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/tree/next-gen Dev: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/tree/next-gen-dev

That's OK, it's mainly about how they present their UI. I'll be installing it when i have a chance as well as other popular audio book apps.

It's practically a Stars Wars saga getting milked for everything it's worth. It just takes away from the greatness of the originals. Sometimes you felt like you better hurry up and watch a movie before George Lucas changed it again. LOL I know I'm going to get flak from SW lovers for that comment.

Same issue with emby app on pixelbook2017, web version is OK. Netflix is missing from my Play store. Note to myself, don't buy hardware related to google.

My apologies for resurrecting this, but it's getting to the point where even Netflix fans are hollering for it. https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/greys-anatomy-fans-are-begging-for-this-helpful-new-feature-on-both-netflix-and-hulu.html/ If y'all could be Netflix to the punch, that would be awesome.

I did a search through the forums and couldn't locate anything about the "Next Up" section. I'm wondering if there's a way for a user to remove a television series entry from the Next Up listing while leaving the watched/unwatched status of each episode as-is. For example, let's say my wife watches 3 episodes of "Firefly" and decides she doesn't enjoy it (which would, of course, mean divorce, but let's keep going for the sake of the question...). So, for her account, she no longer wants to see Firefly under the Next Up section at all, but also doesn't want to mark the whole show as watched in case she ever decides to take a look at it again. Is there a way for her to remove that show from her Next Up list? I've tested the drop-off and jump-on function of that list, and it seems to track the last 24 shows that aren't completely watched - even pulling shows back on to the list that have fallen off once you're fully caught up on one that was currently on there. This question falls firmly into the realm of inconsequential convenience, but I thought I'd ask it anyway in case someone had an idea.
