Could you please add a Webhook for the New content added notification?

At the end of playback instead of displaying the detail screen, a post-playback screen could be displayed. For example, in TV Shows you could offer to play the next episode, in movies, you can offer related movies or if the film is part of a collection, offer to play the next item.

Hi SamES, I should have better explained what I meant when I was talking about purchasing another AVR, however I didn't wanna stray too far off topic. IF and when I over-extend my wallet and totally tick-off my wife by dropping even more loot on an AVR, at that point I'll be grabbing another Intel NUC(as a Kubuntu HTPC) that can support 4K and atleast 7.1 channels or even better Atmos which shouldn't be hard to do(the harder part is paying for it, LOL), that way I can have it my way with all the different formats/containers supported, and then refrain from using the already slow WebOS that LG refuses to make developer friendly; honestly, waiting more than a year for LG to update their app is tantamount to being incompetent IMO, BUT, I won't go there, we'd have to start a separate therapy thread for all of us to dealing with this uneeded stress. I'm totally disappointed about the LG approval process for app's, and I feel for the Emby staff for having to put out fire's they didn't even create or have anything to do with.

Guys, The ebook side of Emby/MediaBrowser has been long stalled or rather stagnated. I would like to offer up a couple of suggestions. Many people use calibre as an ebook/comic book tool for scraping data and general management of their collection already. This program is absolutely astonishing in its ability to pull metadata from post calibre scans, as well as draw in metadata from the file source and/or directory structure. http://vaemendis.net/ubooquity/ Its a self contained .jar server/reader combination. And honestly I am very impressed by it's small footprint and wide range of abilities. The other option is COPS , which was written specifically with calibre in mind. It is open source, so making it work with emby I would think would be fairly easy. https://blog.slucas.fr/projects/calibre-opds-php-server/ Ever since the original release of MediaBrowser's bookshelf I have always wanted something that would allow me to 'read' my collection, rather than being basically nothing more than a place-set for images of books I own. I am sure that those who mainly have audiobooks are thrilled with bookshelf , but it's nothing more than an extension of the music library IMHO, not new features. We can have both right? Here I give you two suggestions free of charge.. Just because I love you, and Emby Personally I plan on running the Ubooquity Server along side of Emby from now on, just because of it's massive functionality and tiny footprint. But I sure hope that someone decides -- "yeah, ebook support should be in here too" and do something about it - rather than allow this now very very ancient issue to continue to remain an issue. And so I don't have to have 20 different ports open, some with SSL support - some not, because Emby isn't delivering the 'complete package'. (Please take some of this with humor, I know you have your hands full with improvements/bugs/suggestions/requests)

In my house, I would like to see a User Profile selection similar to Netflix. Using my single logon, I would like my family to choose between who is watching. That way each of us can watch shows without marking it watched for someone else. In this scenario, I would have a 4 users in a Family Group using the same username/password.

Hi, I hope Emby developers can find the time to integrate CinemaVision into Emby so we can use this great Cinema experience tool in emby Theater. I know Ragnarok has been excited to assist in integrating it into emby. The only reason I am still using KODI is for this add-on as it makes my cinema room like a real theater. It might not be a to hard of an integration as both emby and cinemavision were both originally build on xbmc if not mistaken. For anybody who is not familiar with CinemaVision, please have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yrs1xRgIvk https://cinemavision.tv/

I'll chime in.. start with the highest level nVidia GPU you can afford but my unlocked GTX 1060 6Gb with a Ryzen 3700x chews up and spits out all transcoding needs. It'll do four simultaneous Handbrake conversions from ts to HEVC on half the cores with headroom for Emby on the fly transcoding.

yep, thats fixed it. thanks

I certainly agree that audio and video are more important than ebooks, given that audio and video are what Emby is all about. That said, audio and video work perfectly for me and for many users, so if I were the project manager my thought would be that this is a good time to give a little love to other functionality. (Honestly, I don't care about live TV. I don't use it and don't intend to. I don't know if I'm odd in that regard or not, but when I turn on the TV I am far more likely to watch Emby than CNN.) The 3 areas of functionality I see that aren't entirely up to snuff from my perspective are books, video games, and remote use of Emby. I'm not quite sure how video games would work and I'm not sure Emby can do much about remote use given that Emby doesn't control the Internet router or firewall, so that leaves books. (I suspect Photos could use a little love too, but it works and I haven't paid a lot of attention to how it could be improved.) I am presently trying to group many ebooks into a collection with the related videos. In Calibre it's very easy for me to search the books, they're grouped as a "Series" of the collection name I am filling, so I can search on the series name in Calibre and I get them all. Emby doesn't integrate with Calibre, so when I search for them in Emby I don't get most of the books, because Emby only looks at the title, so I have to search up each book separately in Emby and add it to the collection. Another problem I am having is that Emby is pointed at my Calibre collection, and in cases where Calibre has more than one format of the book (most of my ebooks, because Calibre does conversions and I've changed reader devices several times over the years) Emby doesn't recognize that the ebooks have a cover image (even though it's in the folder with the name "cover.jpg") so either I have to manually add the cover to the books or delete formats I'm not using at the moment. I see this as a bug. Also while Emby allows you to group videos (for example) together when you have more than one copy of the same video (for example, The Avengers in 720p, 1080p, and 3D could be listed as one item with one poster), when you have more than one version of an ebook, all versions are listed separately and you can't group them. As I have up to 5 different versions of some books (and most of my ebooks are in multiple formats), my ebook collection looks very cluttered (and mostly without covers, although mostly they're there) in Emby. Here's my perspective: When I am at the TV, I choose to use Emby. When I am sitting at my server (which, being a normal person, is my desktop), I find the video or audio in the file structure and watch it with VLC, find the photo and open it with Windows Photos, and use Calibre for my ebooks. I would like Emby to be good enough that when I'm at my server I don't find it easier to go into the file system, find the file, and use a specialized program on it.

Ok please see if the 1.0.9 Sonos plugin update helps. Thanks.

nevermind, found it! BTW, FWIW, emby is sexy as hell. It makes plex look old and tired. embyserver.txt

yep, that fixes it

But before sending an email please answer my question above as it doesn't sound like you got billed from Emby but some 3rd party provider using Emby software.

The other tool set 775 and now, emby can handle the files and can delet it. Now it should work.

Yes this is limited to adult content listed on TMDB.

Will do, I'll let you know if this solved it. Later tonight or tomorrow.

Hi, If this is a new setup and you have files mounted externally this would not seem out of place. The first scan can take a while depending on the options you have set for each library. Just let it run.

you've tried? what is the problem? if you give us more details maybe we can help you for free.

For me, yes. Lets wait for feedback from @Spaceboy

I won't judge you or your wife. That's a great movie. I personally consider it one of the best Shakespeare adaptations (The Taming of the Shrew) ever.

That's great, if there are no more showstoppers, it will be the next beta version and hopefully also the next stable version.

No, but now i will have a look inside, and i hope i can fix it.

Hi there, have you taken a look at this?

Hip hip hurra @quickmic it’s working Just installing a library to test. if anything goes wrong I’ll report back big thanks

Not at the moment.

Next update available: Changes: reduced skinreloads to a minimum fix Kodi restart issues Also still trying to fix the sources.xml issue. This time read issues are just ignored and continueed, but not sure if it works. It didn't for the previous guisettings.xml issue. Anyway, @ntilagoa please try again...

FYI, I sorted out this problem. I have geoblock rules on my firewall. I added an entry to bypass these rules for this speicifc IP. It now appears to be grabbing stuff.

Hi, yes we can.

Thanks for testing, it's still the same issue. I was assuming it's a timing problem (same as for guisettings.xml), that's why I moved the source.xml reading into the sync code, to delay it. (same as in 4.x version) Seems the file still cannot be read... I'll give it another try in next version...

Thank you. I’m new to all of this IP TV stuff. I hope I can manage installing xTeVe

No bother at all. we only have to thank you for all your hard work on this. I will try in about an hour or so. at moment I’m not at home

Good idea on the filters. That was not it however a good idea. I decided to just set it up again and see what I get. thanks

Online play looks so good but in offline mode I can see the cover picture only. Can those images be added for sync media in offline mode? Thanks!

Anime series-linked films and OVAs are normally numbered as s00enn and get put in the Special folder alongside the Seasons. This works fine for most things - as I can confidently assert as most of my library is anime. If you're prepared to break the folder naming rules you can even break groups of videos out into separate folders within a series - as, for instance, "Movies" and "OVAs" are names that Emby doesn't recognise and so doesn't combine into the Specials folder. For instance, here is part of my Evangelion folder: The "Specials" folder actually contains an unofficial video (the unused extended LA segment of End of Evangelion), and the films Death and End of Evangelion are in the "Movies" folder. The "Rebuild" films, which are a different story, I have in my Films library, brought together in a collection: Experiment a bit, and you should be able to get something that suits you well enough. A more extreme example of how breaking the rules can work better than following them is the -Monogatari series, see here for how I handle it. TVDB splits it up according to the original TV broadcasts, which were a mess, and making substantial parts of it into specials; I have broken it up into the stories corresponding to the books. Paul

I know you said you want the mixed library type but if all possible I would HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to rethink this and to have seperate Movie & TV Show libraries. Yes it requires you to seperate your content but is really worth it long term.

I'd like to give a notification or pop up on playback to notify users their Emby client is transcoding, especially if they are transcoding 4k as it cripples the server. Whenever I find issues the user is usually completely unaware they are transcoding or causing issues for others as their steam is buffered.

Correct as TV and Movies have different queries per provider sites, so TV only searches TV and Movies only searches Movies. OMDB will actually provide both do to the id is exactly that. TMDB and TVDB have \tv or \movie queries not both. Might get away with "tt4489416" if OMDB is enabled.

lol - so if you have subscribed to this thread for LG Updates then you'll be sadly disappointed - as the last update was 14+ months ago. Half of the 28+ pages of this thread are 'it's on it's way' - the other half are 'why does DTS not work' ...

What i miss in Android Auto is a pure offline support of downloaded media. If i open the Emby app normally while being offline, i'm presented with a selection screen for the Server and for Downloads. Within Android Auto -> Emby -> then Browse, only the server is listed. Downloads is missing here!

No judgement as I have "Plan Nine from Outer Space," "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," "Ishtar," "Heaven's Gate," "Invasion of the Star Creatures," "Beginning of the End" and several other zero, one and two star movies in my collection. Something has to balance out the likes of "It's a Wonderful life," "A Clockwork Orange," "Lawrence of Arabia," "Casablanca" and other highly rated movies. A balanced library must include all qualities and, sometimes, bad=good or great.

Salut Max92, En gros voila les étapes: 1) Tu mets ton film sur ton compte uptobox (Premium) 2) Tu fais clic-droit sur "Cliquez-ici pour lancer votre téléchargement" quand tu est sur ton film 3) tu créer un fichier texte et tu colles le liens à rallonge 4) tu renommes le fichier de .txt à .strm 5) tu balances la note .strm dans ton dossier films Et voila tu as ton film sur emby sans avoir comme moi un serveur de 24to a la maison... Par contre comme je l'ai dit le problème c'est que quand tu lances ton film, le serveur le télécharge et le converti en live pour le rebalance sur le lecteur... alors j'ai testé de lancer la vidéo via uptostream, je me suis mis en mode de résolution max et copier le liens de la vidéo. A ce moment la emby lit correctement le fichier en streaming direct! mais impossible de régler le format, si tu as pris le liens 4k il restera en 4k... Dans cette seconde méthode le liens se présente sous cette forme: https://www70.uptostream.com/403yi5517a7/2160/0/video.mp4 , On le voit vers la fin le "2160" qui est le format de la vidéo. Et la le problème est que tu peux pas lancer depuis le mobile. Actuellement j'ai toutes ma bibliothèque sur mon serveur avec plex. Mais je pense que emby serait une super solution sir les .strm fonctionnent bien (Edit: sur mobile le liens streaming ne s'ouvre pas)

Absolutely - getting the notification to an email, pushed etc is not the problem. I believe we just need a new notification type - some like 'Transcoding playback started' - maybe a subtype of 'Video playback stated' if there is such as thing ?

Emby definitely needs booker reader functionality, cataloging books without the ability to read them within the app is just pointless. I would like to see this added when possible

Specials in continue watching/next up will be supported in Emby Server 4.6.

Had added my vote cause I really think ebooks should get some love as well Surprised me it gets so few upvotes though

I get where you are coming from, but the thing is, it's going to happen one way or another. You aren't making a unique product here, so you can't expect that other competitors won't have the same functions and features as you, as there is nothing truly novel about what we are doing here. Apple constantly gets beaten to the punch on features by other phone manufacturers, yet you don't see them going out of business, or exiting the phone market because someone implemented fingerprint ID before they did. Among all the things Apple is known for, they do 2 things extremely well: First, they have excellent customer service and support. Second, they are smart enough to realize that there is a natural flow to the way people expect things to work, and they are very good at shaping their products to follow that flow. So when people point out something that doesn't make sense (like this), which is simple to fix (this is literally changing the order of a few lines of code, or alternatively, adding a flag to show that there are extras), it's frustrating to get rebuffed (see my first post above re: If the Emby Team disagrees with the user request) As pir8radio pointed out earlier in this thread, if people really wanted to steal your features, they could look at your product, then look at the forums for what people are requesting, and implement the features themselves. What keeps them from doing this? Well, for major things, it's like you said earlier: If you know that, your competition knows that as well, and either: 1. They won't do it either, hence not beating you to the market, or 2. They will spend WAY too much time working on that one thing, thus falling behind YOU, and surprise surprise, you still win. The only thing keeping your users in the dark does is frustrate them, and cost you more time closing and merging redundant threads on here asking for the same thing. If we had some kind of roadmap to reference, we would at least know something is on the horizon, instead of going almost 2 years in a thread thinking it was on the horizon, before finding out it's not even under active developtment: For reference Let's be honest here, liking a post really does nothing when it comes to feature requests. Look through the first 5 pages of the feature request section and you'll see that the vast majority of posts that have over 10 "likes" are at or well over a year old, and have yet to be implemented. The highest upvoted feature request right now in the top 20 pages of this forum has 63 requests (not even counting how many similar threads may have been locked for being duplicates), and it's not even under active development at this time, despite being created by a developer (i.e. you) and being over 2.5 years old. If THAT feature request can't even get implemented, why would anyone bother to upvote anything, after seeing that go nowhere for 2.5 years? Despite this, your go-to response for users is still, "Liking the original post on these topics is the best thing to do." As far as simple requests vs. complex ones, well, I already addressed the complex. For the simple ones, it goes down exactly how I described in my first post that started this thread. If the Emby team agrees with you, you might have a chance at getting it implemented (granted, it will be at some unknown date in the future, and maybe not even then). If they disagree, you get the script. This is part of the "Transparency" I was talking about. As I explained earlier, this is more often than not because you guys give convoluted answers that leave people thinking things are getting worked on, when in fact they actually aren't. If I think something is being worked on, I'm not going to bug the developers about it and bump an old thread. Look at any one of those threads you are thinking about, and you will see the same pattern of a convoluted answer, no activity for a while while the users think it is getting worked on, then after a year somebody pops in and asks why it hasn't been implemented, cue another convoluted response, wash rinse repeat. In addition to that, keep in mind that you have FAAAAR more server admins on these forums than you do just regular emby users. So while you may be speaking with only one admin, that one person could be representing 20 different users that are on their server asking for the same thing. I'm sure you guys have hard numbers on emby users vs. installed server instances, so it can't be hard to understand that you are dealing directly with only a tiny fraction of the people who actually interface with your service. It's like voting in the general election: How many people are registered vs. how many actually turn up at the polls. Just because you don't have 1,000 people beating down your door to get a feature request implemented (i.e. "liking" the post, or adding their commentary), doesn't mean that there aren't still 1,000 people out there that want the feature. Just like you have a huge number of users with only a small number of admins, you have the same thing within the admins themselves: Out of all the admins, there are only a fraction of those that are going to get on these forums and put in feature requests to begin with. I'm not going to go back and reiterate, I think I've already responded to all the points in your first 2 paragraphs. I bolded that last line because it epitomizes everything I've been trying to explain throughout this post. I will end with this: We appreciate what you guys are doing, and we thank you for doing it. I wouldn't be a premiere subscriber if I didn't like the vast majority of Emby, and want to help it improve and grow. That being said, things would go much smoother for both your users and yourselves if we had more information, and some realistic responses that didn't come off as completely canned while providing zero definitive information. I for one appreciate the dialogue we are having here, and you taking the time to respond. Thank you for listening and continuing to have a constructive discussion with me, so that maybe things can get better for everyone

@@Luke - Can we get something like this built in to span cross-directories for movies? Similar to TV Shows?

Or, if you need to secure them for outside access, then provide passwords but use the "EasyPin" feature with a blank PIN and they can easily log in/out by just selecting their user when in-network.
