Request No. 1: Implement Metascore rating for movies, from Metacritic.com, in Emby. OMDb api provides this information. Request No. 2: Also, fix an option in settings to enable or disable a ratings source according to the user's choice.

He could scrape all episodes in Aired order, Lock all of them and then just manually change episode numbers.

Just to demonstrate how Intel compares to AMD in that matter. Here's the current list of Intel's pending contributions to ffmpeg: https://github.com/intel-media-ci/cartwheel-ffmpeg/tree/master/patches (hundreds of commits already made in the past, more than 10 developers working on contributing to ffmpeg) I'm not directly an Intel fan and had many AMD setups as well. But for hw video acceleration, AMD is not a good choice at this time and Intel's dedication to that area really deserves to be acknowledged!

I was updating meta data for some of my soundtracks today in Emby and thought it might be interesting if provided a link between the soundtrack and the movie where if you were looking at one you could quickly click to go to the other. I don't know if the current structure would facilitate this seeing as even the metadata for people is separated when it comes to music and movies/series: Its not really a priority item or anything just thought it would be something that could be neat for people that typically keep both the album and the movie (and it might raise the awareness for users of the system that the content is available, say if they just watched interstellar and said "Wow I liked that music quite a bit", oh look the movie soundtrack is already in here).

Unless I'm totally missing something, there's no way to add a row to the homescreen that displays the newest releases of movie library(ies). Would be a great, useful addition to latest media to have an option that sorts by release date instead of date added.

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

I can assume this new order is only available via their user subscription based v4 api. Emby currently uses the free v3 or lower api methods. Should be the same as the new Netflix order some series have. I will test in a bit.

why did i forget to do that ! thanks bro it's fully worked !

Lots of combinations to test with that setup. Have you check to see if you have other 50fps content? Other 50fps content might work perfectly which could indicate it has something to do with the encoding of this one series. Something to think about and test perhaps!

Hi Luke, thanks for following up. No unfortunately the issue still persists. I'm planning to install anydesk and will try to TR with Carlo either this weekend or sometime next week. I just got a vaccine and am not feeling well today.

I understand that it would be niche feature. Unless there is a full support from the media server, (automated embedding/extracting), very small portion of the users would ever bother with it. So I'm not trying to ask for something like that. There's lot of containers that support embedded standardized metadata - XMP/CMML/RIFF. Is a big mess at the moment with everyone just making up the tags as they go. XBMC/Kodi had a discussion about reading embedded metadata years ago. I've no idea if they ever implemented it. Only 4 video containers, that i could find, support attachments. I try to stick with matroska as much as possible, and for my purposes i think that embedding all the metadata and images required, within the media file itself is probably the least resource intensive way to have it all at hand without having to pull the metadata from some remote API. I'm still looking into a way to append an attachment without remuxing.

Your the Greatest Luke!

Well done.

Think I found solution......https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&=Ubuntu&target_version=18.04&target_type=deb_local

Sure anyone can, when it hits beta.

I don't really follow but all I did in a test a minute ago is shut down Emby, edit the system.xml, start Emby and do a library scan. All items that began with The were move to T instead of ignoring it.

@cayars solved. Thanks.

Thank you so much! 5207 fixed my multiple media source problem. Thank you!

This has been a problem for quite some time for me. I'd say all the experimentals but I can't be 100% certain.

You have to modify your System.xml file as there are standard SortRemoveWords. <SortRemoveWords> <string>the</string> <string>a</string> <string>an</string> <string>das</string> <string>der</string> <string>el</string> <string>la</string> </SortRemoveWords>

In that case, there are already some open feature requests for that.

Maybe it could work if there would be an entry field for either an IMDB id and/or TheMovieDb Id in the album metadata, and a MusicBrainz Id and/or TheAudioDb Id in the film metadata? That way they might get linked? Or maybe setting up an entry field for custom id (or link id if you will), which the user can use to link different things from different libraries together by putting the same custom id in the metadata? Just thinking out loud here, might sound stupid ;)

Would love to see my soundtrack albums listed on the corresponding movie and tv-show pages, as well as seeing the movies and tv-shows listed on the corresponding soundtrack album page. That way it’s easy for an user to see whether the soundtrack can be listened to.

Not a lot, I think, so it's not a big issue for me. I've lots of VP9, which I believe AV1 is based on, but I dare say the developments are what give the problem as VP9 plays fine. The devices are not entirely pathetic. The Android is a Huawei MediaPad M5 (a couple of years old now, but not superseded) and an iPod Gen8 (bottom end, but the latest of the line). I suppose I could try to work out how to modify the device profiles so that AV1 doesn't get direct played... Paul

I tested it in a few files. Seems to play fine now. Took almost a year, but hey it's fixed, so all is good. Also FLAC Direct plays now. It didn't before. So that's nice. PRetty much all my major issues are fixed. Hi10 is an unofficial format so expecting Direct Play from that is highly unlikely. As for Plex's Intro feature that's probably outside your budgetary range at the moment, but it's nice now.

ok this should work thanks

Thanks for creating the new plugin!

So, here are the steps with a sample. 1. Here are my settings for my TV Library with its metadata settings: https://i.imgur.com/kjpg0rO.png 2. A new episode of Invincible came out yesterday and it got imported into Emby. https://i.imgur.com/k9xYn5G.png 3. Here are the IDs from Invincible: https://i.imgur.com/gWLySWO.png 4. I go to the episode and set it as watched: https://i.imgur.com/VZUux1N.png 5. I go back into the scheduled task section and start the Trakt Sync Task: https://i.imgur.com/OmLLWWQ.png 6. The task is successful and the episode status didn't change on Trakt. https://i.imgur.com/nBljc3u.png The log file is attached. Best part of it all is that I watched "Nobody" yesterday and even tho I didn't select my Movie Library to sync (as described in my second post in this thread), somehow it got synced to my Trakt account. Or how me watching Mushishi is getting synced too, even tho my Anime library isn't selected to sync. https://i.imgur.com/en4nKsG.png Do let me know if you need any more info from me. embyserver.txt

Uninstall and reinstall fixed it.

I believe their plan is definitely to be an integrator of major video sources. Whether or not they can pull that off - who knows. Some VC is willing to bet $50 large on it. IMO, the most likely way those investors get their money back (and/or a return) is by one of the big media companies simply purchasing P's technology. But, that is pure conjecture on my part. I don't know why any of the "big" content providers would want to offer an access method to their content that will potentially steer people towards some other provider's content and comingle it with personal content of potentially questionable origin. In effect, steering their customers towards a system that can help them to no longer need them. Here is the most interesting statement in that article to my eye: "to use viewing activity". Big Prother, is watching... [For the record, Emby (the company) knows nothing of your content or your viewing activity]

lol

To potentially assist those thinking about checking/subscribing to the service, will share my experience/observations (note that I did opt to use RPDB Folders app as opposed to Emby plugin, due to the way I'm curating my collection): Subscribed through Patreon the other day for Tier 2 and made a trial run on small library (40ish items) to see how it actually behaves. Tier differences are well documented and explained on project site, imho Tier 2 is a minimum. Upon subscribing, API key was received by email shortly thereafter and inserted in RPDB Folders web-interface: Setup was pretty straightforward, most notable decision is to decide which ratings you actually want to be displayed on posters - I settled on Metacritic+RT Audience (reasons will be explained/shown later). "Add Movie/Series folder" is self-explanatory. "Edit Movie/Series Poster" is used if your Tier allows it, to change any default poster to TMDB one. It does take some manual work, as there is only Search field and no chooser/picker, but that was explained as there are users with 40,000 items and listing those might be a hag, which does make sense. "Check requests" lists your used/total requests, as each Tier allows only for a certain number of those, i.e. 6,000/month for Tier 2, with each higher Tier accommodating more of those. "Scan Settings" is where you actually configure behaviour: Mostly, use it (or no, as it will count against your requests) to keep ratings up to date. All that said, on to actual usage: Initial scan took few minutes and 42 posters downloaded, I reckon it took few minutes at the most (note that all posters are downloaded as poster.jpg and backgrounds as background.jpg; depending on your artwork naming scheme, they might or might NOT get precedence, as discussed in plugin thread). Upon Library scan, they were all shown in Emby: (Web app) Some slight poster color scheme/backdrop padding issues there, but nothing major. However, it all does look better in Andoid TV app: (Android TV app) I've found that it works best when Logo is not preferred in App settings: In this way (as mentioned above when choosing which ratings to show), one can have: IMDB, RT Critics, Metacritic and RT Audience ratings shown at Item Detail Screen, and I reckon that is really everything anyone actually needs. All that said, few of the observations: - Dev was very responsive and explained in detail every query I had, great support - Note about poster providers: IMDB posters are preferred (and only choice in Tier 1); however, Dev expressed willingness to change preferred posters to TMDB ones (as there were other requests for it) and it should happen inside next month or two - As per Dev, all posters are locked to 580px width, with possibility to introduce larger sizes in higher Tiers in the future; personally, I have no issues with that All in all, it was pretty straightforward setup/run and I fully support the idea and implementation in general (although I will put my usage on hiatus until TMDB posters become preferred as I cannot stand IMDB ones, I'll keep my subscription alive to support the project) and I do encourage anyone to try it out as I already had a rant about ratings implementation in Emby in this exact thread and some others and I reckon this is something that is more than welcome in Emby ecosystem. Great work, @jaruba.

Not a speedtest of internet on the client. But a speedtest on a client to the server they are being hosted from. This could help basic users understand network limitations when deciding quality profiles.

Greetings, Has anyone else been seeing this? Is it normal, or should I delete my entire Emby installation and re-install fresh? I *have* notice my computer (Windows 10 up-to-date) Has started paging and freezing randomly in the past few weeks, not sure if this is a red-herring or related?

Thanks guys,reporting this now to Acronis.

I have spent a bit of time on this youtube videos and reading and learning this is a great experience being able to do this without going to a computer repair store or replacing my computer. Im happy to say thanks to your help my computer runs great my iptv does not freeze every couple minutes now like it did in fact I can leave the tv run iptv over night and wake up it still working where it never did that before. Now tv works just like cable tv only now it also looks better with more options than they offer. My next goal is to research ssl and maybe buy a domain name once I watch youtube and figure it out.

Hello, I have the same problem, and the plugin is not my solution because I want to turning on (and off) a light wich are not a Smartthings or Hue one. I can only have a webhook to turn on/off the lights when there is a change in a "Playback Event". This may cause the opposite effect if I play a movie and the light was already turned off and viceversa. How can I do? Thanks you.

Hey guys I decided to jump on the emby bandwagon and became a lifetime subscriber. Also went through my router and corrected my port forwarding issues (Thank God) and its been smooth sailing ever since. Thanks to Luke and all the developers who work on emby for your continued work on the server and apps. Now if we could just get Vizio off their lazy butts and accept the app for their smartcast TVs we would be set Thanks Sean

Ideally we would not use Rosetta, no.

Often times when I see "Reason for transcodng: Media bitrate exceeds limit." in the info I wonder, what kind of internet connection do they have? I know this can cover multiple scenarios like bandwidth limit set for user, server, client side quality setting, as well as AUTO bandwidth detection... Can you PLEASE add to the dashboard the returned client bandwidth capabilities? The value you are getting from the client that tells emby its bandwidth abilities. While you are at it tighten up the spaces between lines on the transcode items, and align the results to the right instead of center.. MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THIS :

It looks like we currently read it but don't write it. We'll add it as part of the 4.6 release. Thanks.

Currently one of the transcoding reasons is Max bitrate exceeds limit. What I want to know as a server admin. Is it because the auto limit detection selected that limit or was it manually selected by the user. Maybe have something like: Max bitrate exceeds limit (Auto) Max bitrate exceeds limit (Manual) or Max bitrate exceeds limit (User) Or something to that effect.

At this point, I don't think there's a similar to, since the add-on has been broken for a while now.
