Good to know Plex can play 4K HDR on Apple TV. I have a lifetime Emby and Plex pass, so I will move back to Plex, however I prefer Emby. But I really want to get the most out of my HomePods with Apple TV. Shame on Emby developers and the silence on this matter.

Hi, regarding the mapping dialog, we'll add a button to clear the mapping in the upcoming 4.6 release. Thanks.

I really don’t understand how, something that is at the core of the media server experience, has been set aside for so long. It’s really strange how it has not really received many improvements over the last few years, while many third-party apps have received improvements in this area. I understand that there might be obstacles in getting to that point, but it really feels like Apple TV users are being ignored.

I would love to hear from some of the developers on this? Beyond just "we are focused on improving all of our applications". Is there any focus on the Apple TV interface at all? I don't need/want a specific road map, but just a general, this is what we'd like to see down the road. Sadly I find myself going back to Plex more and more for things like 4K HDR movies and live TV when using Apple TV. I just prefer the Apple TV interface over Roku, Android etc etc. Infuse is great, but why pay for multiple programs (I'm a lifetime Emby premier subscriber) when Plex does it all built in? Just my thoughts on all of this and someone who genuinely wants to see improvement here.

Not only the Infuse App ,MrMC and Plex can do it as well. For me it looks like, that Emby had no focus on Apple TV. In my opionen is that a big fault. The Apple TV Hardware and Software is much better then the most of the Android Boxes. I had a lot of those Android Devices in the past, but they are only good for Kodi, Plex and so on, but if you like to have Netflix, Prime and so on also in 4K without any Problems, they all runs into big problems I´m thinking about to switch back to Plex. everything works for now in abo pricing modells. And paying two apps monthly for one function feels not right.

Hello. Would be great to be able to adjust subitiles delay in Emby Theatre or Web client like we can in VLC with "H" and "J" shortcuts (up and down). Thanks !

The problems of HEVC streaming that remux requires would end and we could have support for MKV HEVC direct streaming in the native Apple TV player.

Nope tried it today and I still get the "can't find server". I am going to reset delete his account, bounce the server and get him registered. A fresh start. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers toolmanz

Hi, not at this time, but it's likely for the future.

Checked and I cant find other series with this problem, even if they have 480p x264 too. And it seems to be the first season that was affected. So I have replaced the files (with x265) now and the new files work fine.

Hi, it looks like something is blocking emby server from accessing that domain. Is OpenSubtitles blocked in your country? I know they are getting banned in many places now.

Do you have a Gold disk next to your emby server name on the dashboard ? Have you rebooted the system ? Does your system have internet access to verify the Premier key ?

There are many different gender identities, including male, female, transgender, gender neutral, non-binary, agender, pangender, genderqueer, two-spirit, third gender, and all, none or a combination of these. Rather than get into all that. You meant GENRES. Pronounced "John Ruhs". To get genres you MUST fully complete a library scan. Once that occurs you should see genres populate.

You have done a thorough investigation and eliminated all the obvious issues - so don't beat yourself up The error message is clearly point to a networking issue - but as proven by your tests, you can get to the URL just fine outside of emby/ the plugin. Looking at the actual DNS IP resolution of api.opensubtitles.org - 172.67.72.143 is one of the 3 IP's... Now, I know there has been some other topic on Emby classing any 172 address as 'local and not 'wan' (incorrectly, as the above IP is not an RFC1918 address). So I'm thinking - if you can add a local host entry for api.opensubtitles.org to resolve to either of the other IP's (104.26.8/9.126) then it may solve the immediate issue. If this does work - then the Dev team will need to look at this synology build, as it's classing 172.67.72.143 as local perhaps. It may be totally unrelated of course, but this is ringing alarm bells ...

I will put a version on GitHub that I have with an editor. I wasn't entirely sure how to handle the episodes that would flop. Perhaps, in the future, we could create a file share that would add JSON episode data for known title sequences that are un-scan-able. Unfortunately, I started a home improvement project, that was bigger then I thought it would be, and now I'm working diligently to finish it before my wife kills me .

It's in the current beta so won't be long before it hits release.

Hi, there isn't any support for mapping of individual episodes within a full bluray folder structure. It will just show up in Emby as S01E01-E04, and then when you play it, the path to the bluray folder will be passed to the external player, and that's really it. There's no way for Emby to tell the external player to select a specific episode from the disc. Does that answer your question?

Yup good to go it’s been a solid week without any issue. I had a bad ram set on the server PC that was causing issues I pulled it out and now everything is fine. Sorry for wasting everyone’s time.

You could do this with an mpv.conf file.

Bonjour. La fonction regarder ensemble n'existe pas encore sur Emby. Par contre il est possible de regarder plusieurs vidéos (et même la même) en même temps. Attention toutefois si les vidéos doivent être transcodées, il faut assez de puissance sur le serveur.

No, not even started a investigation. Still on the list.

You can. But if you're dealing with CIFS/SMB network shares it's better to get ownership and permissions sorted there first. The runtime umask dictates what permissions files and directories get at creation. It affects access but not ownership. The property in systemd is UMask, default value is 0022. You can also change the runtime Group identity for the emby-server so then files and directories can be created with a different group ownership. Combined they can be used to allow access by other users/services. If you decide to change group the emby user must be a member, so pick or add one first then set the value for systemd. systemctl edit emby-server.service [Service] UMask=value Group=value Save and restart the emby-server service.

Not that we know of no. The limitation appears to be getting TrueHD Audio out of the TV via e-arc. To the best of my knowledge, the only client that plays True-HD/DTS-X is the Nvidia Shield when plugged directly into an AV Receiver - ie bypassing e-arc and using the Receiver to just pass the Video to the TV.

I was going to have a look at this again when the chromaprint thumb printing algorithm that was added to the Emby 4.6 beta (ffmpeg inbuilt muxer) is released. At the moment the plugin needs to ship with the command line tool for multiple platforms to extract the chromaprint but when Emby 4.6 is released the plugin can use the shipped ffmpeg to generate the audio thumb prints. I have no idea when the 4.6 beta will ship, its been months and months, no idea what the time frame for that is, I think that is why the plugin lost of lot of momentum. Also there will be shows that this just does not work for, some it will work great with and others it is just going to flop on.

Hi. Your test proves that your current setup doesn't support it. It is likely the TV that is the restriction, yes.

The majority of users have requested unification across all app/clients and that is what is happening. Personally if I could remove horizontal scrolling from everywhere I would.

Guess we can close up this thread. The OP has gone off on some tangent that even calculus can't determine plot points of. You can't protect someone from themselves. Not sure what asking for help and attacking the help is accomplish. Maybe you wanted to see how far the rabbit hole goes? It goes all the way to Wonderland.

You're free to, and no one will mind. If another system suits you better overall, go for it! Paul

I'm sorry but you can't guarantee anything with only 27 posts to your name. You have not taken part in the different client upgrades over the YEARS and been part of the feedback of what people have asked for over the years. The different client software is the way it is because our customers have asked for it to be that way. There is HISTORY and a LOT OF IT as why certain things are the way they are. I have no clue what you're talking about as proof of TV size but with the exact same 1080 UI scaling you simply can't expect to see and read a 27" at 10 foot like you can a 75" TV set. Everything is proportional but much smaller and of course you won't be able to read the text at such a distance. We have been through this dozens of times with different clients. If you're used some of our other clients you would see they allow for different size (small, medium, large) and different modes of operation depending on how you use that UI and the distance you are from it. Let me ask you this. Should it be important for there to be a common user interface regardless if you are using a tablet, computer, theater, web browser, android, apple tv, android tv, LG, Samsung or Roku or should each device go it's own way and be confusing to people who use multiple devices and apps? Have you used any other Emby client besides a Roku? Have you participated in any Emby client BETAs with many other people making their wishes and constructive criticisms known? The DEVS very much listen to our customers which is why 3 of the key devs for Roku and it's design are in this thread trying to ask you questions to see what can be improved (if not already) for the next iteration of the Roku client. The lead Roku developer said this in post two "There is much better coming.. I just do not want to let the cat out of the bag. I must remain.. speechless". He has also hinted at other possible things while trying to probe you for GENERAL input but not specifics since the client will be different already with many improvements. There are many good things on the horizon for the Roku client but a bit of patience is needed.

Keep in mind this was overwhelmingly requested by users. There is a dislike of horizontal scrolling in general in all the apps so we try to accomodate what is being asked for by the users as a whole. The other things is that you're using a 10 foot interface on a small TV so it's likely going to look tiny at a distance. Many people these days use multiple monitor larger than 27" attached to a computer sitting a foot to foot and a half from them. With that said you have the 3 key devs (speechles, ebr, Luke) in this thread corresponding with you to try and learn from you and improve the UI because they CARE a great deal about the clients and want it to be highly functional for large and small monitors alike. It's quite possible for example to keep the vertical scrolling but adjust spacing or size of elements on the screen to make them easier to see and read. This is what they are trying to find out from you what could be done to help.

Thanks. I believe actually that home videos has never had this option before. It was only added recently in the beta channel, so that means it will be in the next release. Thanks.

Hi, it's not gone. You can still use your user home screen options to set the default landing screen for the library.
