Good new everyone ... The one and only @cayars fixed the issue .. Did 2 things : -Force update the server -Cleaned again the browser cache (i did that 5 times ) so apparently the force update fix it Thank you all again for the help EMBY Rocks

I just added Army of the Dead with your nfo file and it played without issue, where it failed before the update.

Thanks for fixing the timer issue. Mine is now working with update 4.6.2.0

@Luke Currently what emby displays is technically 'correct' - however, people want to see the full layer of detail for the stream. ie for Audio - they want to know if its Dolby Atmos if TrueHD or EAC3 and DTS:X if it's DTS-HD (plus other flavours of DTS:ES for example). for Video - they want to know the HDR profile used - HDR10 (the default/fallback), Dolby Vision (+ profile), HDR10+, HLG etc In fairness, a users AVR or TV will show them these details when they hit play .. but having them on the emby screen as filterable objects and to therefore know what to expect before you hit play should be made available. However, ffmpeg/ffprobe does not provide this info - The only product I'm aware of that can get this extra info (through 'unofficial means') is Media Info/CLI - as Dolby nor DTS have released publicly available tools to analyse the streams. MediaInfo CLI works well, and I have scanned my entire library to grab the details, but storing this info in emby metadata/db is proving to be a challenge as while I could store in the 'codec tag' fields - these are not currently used/displayed - so fairly pointless.

Could we get swipe gesture functionally in the mobile apps that would enable adjustments of audio volume, screen brightness and playback position? I use VLC on android and they've implemented this well, it's simple, intuitive and a joy use. It's explained here, https://www.vlchelp.com/volume-brightness-seek-gestures-android/

When setting up a new user I think it would be great if I could copy an existing user. Even better if you could copy certain aspects of a user like views , library access , parental settings

Feature Request: Have User Groups and all settings applied at the Group Level That way you can just assign users to the appropriate Group and all settings will be inheritated.

I am switching over from a Win7 box running MBC to Chromecast dongles. With the Win7 box I had a HDMI to Cat6 setup that allowed me to stream to up to 4 displays/TVs simultaneously. It was great while it lasted, but involved stapling cables to the ceiling to run it from room to room - plus it has borked Can there be an option to multi-cast to several receivers at once? i.e. simultaneously play to Chromecast dongles in my office and living room and kitchen simultaneously so i can walk from room to room without stopping and restarting the movie or show all the time? I realize that bandwidth could POTENTIALLY be an issue, but i have a fill gigabit network and a multi-port NAS so that really is the least of my worries... Thank you!

Please click "Like this" and share it if you want to support this feature. Thank you ! Hello, There is a Kodi addon call "gdrive" from ddurdle who can read videos (original and transcoding version) directly from Google Drive. Why not build on this idea to integrate Google Drive as source directly in Emby Server ? In addition, Emby could generate automatically the STRM files from one or many Drive folders. And transcodings are already available with Drive so no need to transcode with Emby server. What do you think ? ------------- Three reasons why this feature will be useful and awesome: 1. Cloud is the future and today the cost is affordable. I have a Google Drive Unlimited for $50/month (ie $600/year) and I have unlimited space that is secured against crashes. Knowing the cost of hard drive and the cost of power consumption, its a very good deal. 2. Google Drive transcode video file. This provides different stream quality like Youtube (1080p, 720p, 480p and 360p) and the "image quality/compression ratio" is very satisfying. I can play 720p video on my poor 4 Mbits DSL. 3. You don't need to have a big server. Personally, I opted for a little dedicated server (Kimsufi 2G) for the cost and I can leave it run 24/7! Furthermore, me and my friends can watch movies from anywhere! Basics features that should be included: GOOGLE APPS OAUTH2 for activation and permission playing transcoded version (MP4 360p, 480p, 720p & 1080p) directly into Emby's app playing original file (avi, mkv, mp4) directly into Emby's app import embedded subtitles porwerful script module for multiple folder scanning and STRM generating

While Emby already has recommendations built in based on previously watched items I find they are not all that helpful. They seem to be based on genre only, for example, because you watched a comedy here are other comedies in your library. I do like how the also directed by/appear in recommendations work though. What would be great is if Emby could incorporate Trakt's recommendations as they are much more sophisticated. Trakt's recommendations are not only based off of what you have previously watched but also what your Trakt friends and other Trakt users have watched. It takes user ratings and trending/popular media into account. Ideally Emby would include full Trakt integration allowing users to rate media after watching, view lists and recommendations, and view upcoming media all from within Emby but for now I think recommendations would be a nice addition. Trakt has the potential to give Emby that community feel and allow users to discover new media, find something to watch, and recommend media to other users. http://docs.trakt.apiary.io/#reference/recommendations

One of the nice things about MBC is that empty TV folders (after the latest show is deleted) are hidden. This makes Emby look very smart. I know @@ebr wants to get rid of this feature from MBC as he sees that this is better as a server feature that can be applied to all clients. I agree. So what does it take to get this useful feature into the Emby server? I'm hoping that asking nicely is enough, I'm also hoping that enough other users consider this feature useful enough ot include in the server. How about it, @@Luke?

I would love the ability to increase the size of subtitles on the different platforms, specially android, chrome and roku... One additional thing that would be great would be the ability to change font color, outline, drop shadow, font background... Thank you

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 !

Hi Guys, I recently moved from Kodi with MySQL for lack of proper multi user management and server side support, I have to say I'm impressed with Emby. Together with the Kodi Plugin it really takes the solution to a whole new level, count me in among the supporters! One feature I would like to see is the ability to recommend movies or shows to other users: I share my Library with close friends and family but it is a big library so they are always calling me to recommend them a movie to watch. It would be really cool if after watching a movie I can click a Recommend button and choose the users I think would like the movie, then it is displayed on their suggested movies at the top with the name of the user who recommended it... Sorry if there is something like this is already there, I am new to the interface and don't fully know it but could not find such feature... Thanks!

hey what I'm really missing is support for audiobooks. Simply saving the resume point for those mp3s would be absolutely enough, no need to fetch metadata etc.

Hi, all my content is on a private VPS and if I want to watch something in original BD quality it stucks (and sucks). I've searched for the option also downloading to my Emby App on the Nvidia Shield, but there is nothing I can see. So please, activate the downloads also for the Android TV app!

Friends, We just noticed an XSS vulnerability I am at version: 4.5.4.0 Has this already been fixed?

I would hang on and wait as an upcoming release will expose it in the UI for you.

A small update to our 4.6 release is currently rolling out to address a few minor issues that came up. Here are the highlights: Fix incorrect season 0 content showing in series next up list Fix queries by album ids not respecting user library access Fix sessions getting dropped from active devices display when the server admin has restricted their own remote control access of other devices Fix detail screen for light themes Fix legacy next up not respecting library access Fix incorrect horizontal scroll position after using metadata editor Fix year not showing in search results Fix special episode sorting Fix sporadic duplicated backdrop image Improve support for following redirects when downloading xmltv Improve release date sorting You can learn about the original 4.6 release here: View the full article

It's working now, a full library rescan wasn't enough. I just removed both my movie and my series library and readded them and now the trailers work! Thanks for the help and the update! I'm still experimenting with 3 different mediaserver setups but this was a must work so it's much appreciated!

It should count anything that's streamed.

What browser is that ? Under devices, I get a totally different view showing the device name, client version number the last user on that device and when they last time they were using that device ? edit - Ah - check the ... next to the number of devices and make sure it says 'Primary' - not 'List'

Will do. The issue happens sporadically, so I will test this evening when we have the TV on and then reply to let you know what happened. Thanks.

I pushed an update to the nfo plugin today so that it's able to understand the newer format for that.

I just checked and there have been bugs open on this in FFMPEG since at least 3 years ago. The parser the tool uses terminates reading the tag when it hits the null character. So known issue and has been known a while. I don't use MusicBee but if it doesn't parse a / as a valid separator in ID3v2.3, that would also be a bug. That's the correct separator for that version of the standard.

Server s 4.6.2, I have auto-updates enabled. This happened after a recent update (last week or so). I have removed the mixed content version, it is doing a rescan, so far so good.

Linux Server.io Docker? Why not just use the "Official Release"?

I would love to see the download option be available on the android tv app. I have a new chromecast with google tv that I use in the minivan for the kids. On a road trip, having the ability to download some content for the times when we are in internet dead zones would be great.

Beta 5.3.3 you sent via PM could be installed successfully and solved the the problem with duplicated playcounts on Trakt for me.

May I chime in here? Better support for ebooks / comics would be a USP for Emby.

Super ^^ C'était mon navigateur, j'avais essayer avec Firefox, mais pas Chrome (j'était sous Opera)

@MAX92il y a une option à cocher sur ton user pour voir "partager"

Hi, simply because we haven't built it yet, but I agree that it would be a good idea.

I upgraded to 4.6.2 before checking now the home page loads briskly. Can't say anything about cause & effect, but the problem is resolved. Prior to reporting the issue I did restart the server without success and then restarted the computer without success. Happy customer. Attached is a log during the slow period, hope it helps! Thanks! embyserver-63757929601.txt

Thanks for all the hard work!

Why does the current behavior of "Next up/Continue watching bother anyone? If you liked to "old" Next up and Continue watching behavior then just choose "Next up (legacy)" for the screen display. If you like the "new" "Continue Watching/Next up" then simply choose "Next up" for the screen display. It is really that simple. This was discussed extensively in the beta and Emby realized that both ways of viewing are valid so they gave us (the users) a choice. That is why I prefer Emby over any other media manager, they actually listen to users. They cannot always be convinced that something should be different or should have a choice but they do listen and, often enough for me, make changes based on feedback. Emby and I have had and will have disagreements but the fact that they do listen means that at least any change I (or anyone else) does not like will at least be thoroughly thought out. Also remember that Emby is a bit like God in that they answer all prayers but, sometimes, the answer is no. In this case Emby actually granted the prayers of both sides and I thought everyone would be happy. I know I am happy with their decision on this. But, Emby, DON"T GET COCKY!! I will still try to influence your choices if I believe you are moving in the wrong direction or believe you should move faster on some feature.

Albums being added to a playlist in 4.6 are not adding in order of the album tracks, only alphabetical. Each multiple CD playlist does keep the order of album added, but each album is alphabetically ordered. The only way to deal with this is, don't make playlists. Or make playlists outside of emby and import them. Neither is a good choice for something that isn't working right. I can make a list of many albums so fast, for no profit (I don't listen to songs in any form or fashion than album order, shuffle order, or my predetermined random-ish order) ... making a list of songs works adding one and then another. I had playlists before 4.6 but 4.6 broke my music library, I had to take it out and do the dance to get it working, which broke/emptied my playlists, and my backup had empty playlists too. Old playlists didn't save any tracks correctly. I don't think I tried to make album playlists since 4.6, but yesterday and today, I have wasted so much time. I hoped a dance session would fix it again, but please no don't make me go through that every little update! I have my compilation messy library separate, so I removed that and scanned all libraries, then added it back. Waited for scanning to complete. Sent an album from it to a new playlist. Perfect! It went in order. Did another album then, and sent another, and another to that playlist. Pooh. All alphabetic. Sending just one album none come out correct again. So one worked then none. I don't have logs for this, but would be happy to deal with that issue tomorrow if need be. I have sets like Lord of the Rings complete soundtracks and having them all in one playlists is how I listen to them. Other artists I also listen to that way, multiple albums in a playlist! It wouldn't be a problem if there was a way to order them once in the playlist (besides manually moving each track. Ha, fine for some things but not for Lord of the Rings and lot of The Cure, or Clan of Xymox, or a mismosh of my favorite albums .... I am sad ) This happened in Emby Theater on pc (3.0.15), chromebrowser, and android app (3.1.94)

Hi, yes i can reproduce. We'll include a fix for this in the 4.6.3 maintenance release. Thanks for reporting.

What I'd suggest doing is taking a compilation album or two and create a new music library with only those couple albums in it. Scanning will be quick and you can see first hand quickly what your tag changes do. After a couple album edits seen/done first hand it will make sense.

No not yet. I'm still on Emby server 4.5.4. I think I read support for specials in Next Up was only recently added to 4.6 so perhaps that is the reason, not sure.

Thanks, yes that helps. I'll send you a test version via PM... Probably tomorrow.

You're welcome! And you have no idea how much I wish it was like that...

Hi Guys, Here we go with the dreaded Documentaries folder... Setup as mixed content in library and I'm happy with how it works. Just wondering if possible to display the 'Latest Documentaries' on the Home Screen similar to how the library view shows it - TV-Docs are in a single season folder and Movie-Docs are obviously a movie poster/folder. Hoping this would carry across to the AndroidTV app too. Right now if I add a TV-Documentary to Emby library (with a full series worth of shows) my home screen shows all the episodes instead of a single TV Show style entry. Is that possible? Cheers, thanks for the great work.

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:

It’s terrible that this has gone on so long. To me it looks like the Emby team simply ticked a box to get this to work. The fact that the quality is so absolutely terrible that it makes the functionality unusable seems not to matter. I would love to hear from even ONE Emby user that uses this feature.

I just signed up for Premier for this feature - any updates on resolving to 1080p trailers (or even 720p)? I didn't even know they publish 480p trailers on the internet any more lol.

Is there any update to this? Trailers are still streaming in 480p quality. Just upgraded to a better projector and they're unwatchable. Is there a setting or anything we can do?

I just paid for premier not knowing the trailers are in SD quality. Is a fix coming soon for this?

New release v1.8.0 Glad to announce that today we've released a new version of the Windows 8.1 app. What's new: Basic Multipart-video support Support for 480p -720k transcoding Hide Music-Section when no music is available Support for .mov files Navigation buttons (Up,down,left,right,Select,Back,Home) on remotecontrol view if the client supports it. Fixes: Fix for audioplayback Correct sorting of Media Folders Fix for LiveTile Check it out: http://apps.microsof...44-bed3aefd5d06
