We have already seen multiple plugin devs stats they will not keep plugins updated with the breaking changes in beta branch. And will only update plugin once for the release branch. They do not want to maintain two separate plugin releases and I can see their point of view. So all beta users should expect issues with everything in Beta especially third party plugin. So a Emby Notice.

That's not feasible for plugin developers. Emby developers aren't even guaranteeing *Emby* will work on a beta version. There's no way for plugin developers to keep up with the pace of change, preserve backwards compatibility, etc. Again, it comes down to people that shouldn't be running betas shouldn't run betas.

HI, there is currently no way to do that. Perhaps in the future with smart views/playlists, but we'll see how that shakes out.

Hi guys, I am sharing my server with my parents and my sister. My sister and I would like to have the metadata in English our parents on the other hand need to have a different language as they don't speak English. Have been looking in the settings but couldn't find anything that would allow this. So, is it even possible to set two languages for the metadata and then depending on the users language showing the one or the other language?

Playback reporting plugin: View playback reports View user activity View performance and system usage Install it from the Emby server plugin catalogue. Source: https://github.com/faush01/playback_reporting Restoring data for recent (remote address) schema change STOP this is destructive, back up your playback reporting data first. stop emby server and take a copy of the playback_reporting.db DB before you start. In the query tab run this to get a list of all the tables SELECT name FROM sqlite_master It should show a list of tables like this: PlaybackActivity_20190525_085249 UserList PlaybackActivity_20230425_063417 PlaybackActivity the two tables you are interested in are PlaybackActivity and any table with the date sting in the end like PlaybackActivity_20230425_063417 Edit the following query with the name you have in your above results (DONT USE MINE) INSERT INTO PlaybackActivity SELECT *, "" AS RemoteAddress FROM PlaybackActivity_<TABLE NAME HERE> WHERE DateCreated NOT IN (SELECT DateCreated FROM PlaybackActivity) This will import all the old data into the new table.

Request that Emby server store Dolby Vision (including profile), Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, HDR10+ (smpte2094) and HLG for appropriate video in the db and use it for display in the media info and track selection sections of movie/episode details screen. This information once in the db can then also be used in numerous other areas like: Mediainfo Cover Art, Stats for Nerds, Distinguishing different DV profiles for hardware support and tone mapping Example Mediainfo app display of HDR10+ ffmpeg patch for HDR10+ https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/11491/ Related requested that may require DV profile information in order to prevent unneeded TM

I think i was going to try this feature when it first rolled out in emby. Sounds cool as heck to take a picture and have it show up on the server! But realized it would upload all photos in my gallery to the server. I've got nothing to hide, but having labels that i need to take pictures of in order to blow them up to read and other trivial crap aren't worthy of server space, but phone worthy. So i backed off doing it then. Tonight i figured i would try this out again (years later?) only to remember why i didnt do it in the first place... There is just stuff on my phone that i dont need in the server. But i figured maybe if i went into my photo gallery on my phone that i might be able to select photos to upload. Selecting one of the pictures and choosing share i realized there are many places that i can actually choose, but not emby. It would be great to share a selected picture (instead of the whole phone library). Make the share option in the photo gallery link to whatever it is in the emby android app that knows how to share the whole library? If i turned on camera upload i would then have to go in and manually delete pictures when i was back at the server. And having not played with this feature at all, would it then keep uploading pictures that i want on my phone but deleted from the server when syncing? Anyway, thanks for all you folks do, and this is far from any type of priority on my side! (I searched the topic before posting, so if someone else already has it suggested i apologize in advance)

I want to stop my Live Tv channels from using " Direct Play" so I can rewind live tv but I cannot see any "Live Tv" menu within the Samsung app? It's this not possible in the Samsung app? Version is 1.0.94 Thanks, Jon

Yeah it was the same folder, but I decided to just make a script to update all the .nfo files. I'm good. Thank you.

Emby Subtitles : Emby Forced Subtitles External subtitles can be marked as forced using either ".forced" or ".foreign". /Movies /Home Alone (1990) Home Alone.mkv Home Alone.srt Home Alone.spa.forced.srt Home Alone.spa.foreign.srt Internal subs need to have the forced flag.

Hey, sorry for the late response, I've been very busy since our Last talk. Well, I dont know what happened, I updated both my TVs to v1. 0.98 and now it's working properly on both of them. Thank you very much for that. =D

But at the same time Plugins that have been accepted to the catalog probably should kept up to date during betas as well to guarantee they work for releases. I guess it could go both ways depending on view.

Did you check per user setting and the setting on Dashboard-Network?

Woo hoo I would think so!

Can you show the content type set for the library.

Does this thread get you any closer?

You are correct. Presently the Roku app is missing the "Songs" row of the Music Artist detail view. You can use the PLAY icon on the screen to play the songs. You just cannot see them individually on that screen at the moment. Once the songs are playing and queued you can alter the playing song and see all the songs queued this way. You can also press PLAY on your Roku remote while focused on an artists image and shuffle the artists songs too. We will be updating this to match the other TV apps. There will be a songs row when you view Music Artists in the Roku app soon.

There is not even a single default. Emby chooses as "default" the version that it thinks will offer the best playback quality on the particular client, which may vary. There is no provision for forcing the issue other than choosing from the dropdown each time. For different quality versions, this is probably not a big deal; for those people who use the facility for different cuts, for instance, it's more of a pain, but while the developers are aware of this, they have not yet offered a solution.

What I am thinking right now, you see where the word "Author", same when we used the highlight group option, that one way coming to my mind at the moment, but still thinking of better way. No, I am not referring to IPS plugin for the past, we normally modify the userinfo template for that.

Hi guys, just a message to say that i have manually installed the update 4.6.2 and all is working fine, so thank you

Yea i'm not sure why this is not on automatically, but you have to change this in the Notification options in your profile

FYI For me .26 seems to be fine in terms of audio playback. AC3 up to 640 plays fine, EAC3/DTS is downmixed as I would expect. Thanks for the improvement, now everything is direct playing and I can mux in the vobsubs again without fearing my server being stressed with transcodes. Nice job!

@atomicmoon That was fast, thank you so much!!

Not what I wanted to hear, but it is what I was under the impression of. Thanks for confirming!

@atomicmoon These are awesome, thanks for putting so much work into these! Any chance of getting one for the Martial Arts video genre? FYI there's a typo on your Christmas Music library icon

My bad it's working

People that shouldn't be running beta versions shouldn't run beta versions.

I've been working with Youtube embed options since about 2005. I have not read everything in this post. Just thought I would mention a couple of issues. Youtube allows embed in other websites with some limitations. Normal embedding resolution appears to be 480. I have not found official code options to force a higher resolution on Youtube's developer's site. They have a form where you could perhaps request it: https://support.google.com/youtube/contact/yt_api_form There are unofficial methods to force higher resolution, but I think that would possibly violate any API agreement. This could maybe explain the pixelation. Normally all music videos and some other premium content is blocked from working with Embed. Another issue is that Youtube typically changes it's any embed and security code regularly, I am sure to help block any non-approved use of their content. If a plug-in is not following their guidelines and is not registered correctly with the development agreement it is very likely it will just cease to work. Previously, I seen this happen as often as twice a year. If anyone is thinking of working on a new plugin, it's probably worth looking into what Youtube approves for API development or you might spend many months getting something to work to find out it breaks overnight when Youtube updates. I hope this is useful to your discussion.

Thanks for the update. Glad you got it working!

Probably you are referring to the various IPS plugins that are available for "enhancing" the user presentation. I have looked through them some time ago and these are all really over-exaggerating the user presentation. That's not what I meant, but anyway...: I'm sure you'll find a nice and clean way!

Hi, To me the only worthwhile alternative is TVEverywhere though Channels DVR which will cost you about $8/month. However, in order to use TVE you need to have a valid login account to one of the listed cable or sat providers (long list). If you have a parent or sibling you could likely get them to add you to their account and use it this way if you don't already have a cable service. Typically this will get you around 125 to 150 network channels from Fox News/CNN to TBS, & Hallmark Channel. Locast plus TVE is pretty close to having an HDHomeRun Prime except you're not limited to 3 tuners.

That is what I do, rename each to fit like "primary" & "backdrop" hope this helps.

In a nutshell.... the FreeNAS/TrueNAS community plugin originally installed the emby pkg and all the dependencies separate. Since the pkg itself should install the required dependencies, @Baenwortupdated it so it would install only the emby pkg. When he made that change, nobody could play files because of ffmpeg errors. Digging into it, he found it was because it was pointed to the generic ffmpeg location instead of the emby provided location and has been for 3 or 4 years now. To make it work, users had to also run pkg install ffmpeg. So now the TrueNAS plugin is setup to install both (https://github.com/ix-plugin-hub/iocage-plugin-index/blob/master/emby.json), but using the generic ffmpeg can lead to errors on certain files. I'm thinking maybe you 2 could chat and figure out exactly what's happening here and fix it for good

Looks like 4.6.2.0 is now available for FreeBSD 11. Hopefully FreeBSD 12 will get it soon!

Thank you @Duffyx for all your hard work! I am using the latest repo: url : "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest" and 4.5.4.0_1 is still the latest version of Emby available. When you look at FreshPorts, FreeBSD 14 has Emby 4.6.2.0 available in the latest repo, and FreeBSD 13 has Emby 4.6.1.0 available in the latest repo. FreeBSD 12 and FreeBSD 11 still only have 4.5.4.0_1 in the latest repo. I definitely don't mind being patient. I just want to make sure the cogs are spinning and it will eventually show up.

Hi all! I am the maintainer of the emby-server package and as most of the FreeBSD folks we are all volunteers to the project. First of all, the update of 4.6.2.0 has been carried out on 2 june 2021 as can be seen in the commit history on the main/master branch of the ports tree. That was literally the same day or one day later after the release came out, I can't remember. But nevertheless, that's fast. Secondly, when it is available for your specific use case is hard to tell, depending on which ports branch you track and if you use packages or not to upgrade. If you track the main branch of the ports tree you will already have the newest version in the ports tree from the timestamp of the above commit. If you track quarterly it will mostly take maximum a full quarter of the year depending on when the quarterly branches branch from the main/master branch. If you update using packages you need to wait for the build clusters to catch up for that release version/branch combo. Freshports reports the timestamp of the latest rebuilt if you hover over the versions of the package for that specific FreeBSD version... You can always manually change the repo you are tracking (latest/quarterly); https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/QuarterlyBranch You can check which branch you are tracking of packages by using pkg -vv, and looking for the repository URL what it mentions. TLDR; be patient! The rest of the FreeBSD infrastructure is catching up or you are using the quarterly packages and/or are tracking the quarterly ports tree.

We don't want to change default behavior. We just want to have a possibility to change it in the settings..

As promised, some feedback after a month. I bought the NUC I mentioned in my first post. I equipped it with 2x4Go RAM (CT4G4SFS824A) + 240Go SSD (MP510), for a grand total of 400€. I installed Ubuntu 18.04 on it. It is solid. Great value. The case is actually smaller than I expected. I run several services besides Emby, it's all smooth. I only just subscribed to Emby today and tested the HW acceleration - works flawlessly. 70Mbps 4K HDR content gets transcoded with no delay to a Chromecast with ~20-25% CPU / >100 fps. Stress-test with TRUEHD 7.1 decoding + PGSSUB subtitles burn-in is OK (it could only handle 1 transcode at this rate though). I don't think I would have had the same performance with a NAS CPU. Definitely better performance than with a Shield TV server - after all it's a great media player but that's all it's meant to be. 100%would do it again.
