Even though you have given them different server names they still have the same device.txt (ie same serverid). So delete this file to generate a new serverid on one server. Obviously paths will vary, you can see the general path via Dashboard Path section or listed in the top section of a server log.

I know there is already the option to update the metadata of a library every 30, 60, or 90 days. The problem is when new TV episodes are added to the library before the metadata provider has a chance to add the information, often things like the episode title or the plot are missing. The information is usually up to date a few hours later. It would be great if TV episodes could be refreshed automatically at a set interval, say 6 hours, after being added to the library.

It is really cool that Emby has the ability to support multiple versions of the same movie. It would be nice to have a setting on the client side to allow the user to set which version should be selected by default. This could be as simple a user-entered string, or it could be a list of detected strings to choose from. It could allow multiple entries and it would choose them in the order entered. On the Kodi side, it would also be nice to get the "Choose the Best Version for Me" option that the Emby app has.

With the multiple versions feature you get a pulldown in the web client to select the version. When you do, the other pulldowns for audio tracks and subtitles also change for that version. However the duration and the Ends At display remain the same even though the versions have different durations. Would it be possible to have those two fields in the display change with the chosen version? Thanks.

No as that only removes option from the UI, but you can circumvent the options via a browser and really any download tool as shown in screen shot, just like Luke mentioned. So capturing the stream url, you can download that media.

this has not reoccurred for me since this happened in 2020.

You will have to ask Amazon. They won't tell us. The store owners have all the power here. They can allow or disallow anything they wish. This is the same thing we've been saying for the past four years. Unfortunately, we don't have any more information on it even now.

There's few open FRs for that, for quite some time

It sounds like they're interested in having Emby help them easily see if they only have 3 movies out of a franchise that has 7 movies. An 'items missing from box set' feature like the 'episodes missing from TV show' option.

Starting over the server after DSM 7 update it got fixed. I don't know what happened but it got fixed.

I haven't had the chance to do it as I'm far from home and working remotely. As soon as I can, I'll tell you how it's going

The problem is that the requests never actually come back, meaning they never succeed or fail, and that is the reason for the issue. We'll be updating to a newer. Net core version soon and that may help with this.

Thanks. But as for the contents of the password fields, yes those are probably being filled by your browser.

I stripped out the parts that aren't relevant to how I have it handling things currently but I'm pretty sure I got everything Just make sure you change the emby host/api details and adapt variables as necessary for your own config I should probably also add that I run my emby server on a linux host so it uses sh scripts, should be easy enough to convert to windows though ScripterX > onMediaItemAdded Run /var/lib/emby/scripts/MediaItemAdded.sh using /bin/bash "%item.isvirtual%" "%item.id%" "%item.path%" %item.isvirtual% (to make sure it only handles episodes that actually exist on disk) %item.id% (tells emby exactly what item to refresh) and, for me at least, %item.path% (only used because of a sonarr change file date configuration) #!/bin/bash virtualitem="${1}" # %item.isvirtual% itemid="${2}" # %item.id% itempath="${3}" # %item.path% if [ "$virtualitem" == "False" ]; then if [[ "$itemtype" == "Episode" ]]; then touch -r "${itempath}" "/var/lib/emby/scripts/addeditems/${itemid}" # I use this because sonarr changes file date to air date and this copies that information to the temp file # touch "/var/lib/emby/scripts/addeditems/${itemid}" # Use this one instead if the above doesn't work for you fi fi ScripterX > onScheduledTask Run /var/lib/emby/scripts/AutoRescanItems.sh using /bin/bash No variables needed for this one #!/bin/bash embyip="127.0.0.1" embyport="8096" apikey="123" # Change +5 to amount of days to wait before refreshing the item for filename in $(find /var/lib/emby/scripts/addeditems -type f -mtime +5) do #=============================================================================== itemid=$(basename $filename) # Tell Emby to refresh items metadata curl --data '' \ "http://${embyip}:${embyport}/emby/Items/$itemid/Refresh?Recursive=true&ImageRefreshMode=FullRefresh&MetadataRefreshMode=FullRefresh&ReplaceAllImages=true&ReplaceAllMetadata=true&api_key=${apikey}" # Remove itemid rm /var/lib/emby/scripts/addeditems/$itemid done And lastly Emby Scheduled Tasks > Emby ScripterX Scheduled Task Triggers: Every hour It's nothing fancy by any means and can probably be handled in better ways but for me it works until a similar feature can be implemented

Hi, the store app is using the stock windows video player and as a result is limited to what it supports. Our downloaded desktop app embeds a custom player and supports quite a few more formats. We plan to unify them in future updates. Thanks.

Hi. Not at this time. That display style (the Xbox/Windows 8 presentation) has kind of gone out of style these days.

I don't think this is correct but Luke can confirm. I'm pretty sure the one in the "Network" settings is global to the server. IOW - if you set that to 3 then only 3 streams will be allowed - regardless of user sessions. This is so that you can manage your global upload bandwidth. For example, you have an upload pipe of 20Mb so you set each user's max bitrate to 5 and set this number to 4 and you know you'll never go over that 20. It is correct that the more restrictive setting will take precedence.

About the webui if you go that route, you need to enable metadata saver nfo on the libraries that contain the movies added to collections, that way emby can generate/modify the nfo with the changes you do to the metadata at emby level. If you removed them with that option disabled, the nfo is untouched and any refresh with replace metadata on movie libraries should bring those collections back, so make sure to enable it to make the changes to the nfo. Other thing you could do and easier is just hiding the collections from homescreen at user level, it will be invisible..

@cayars you have solved the problem for me, excellent support!

Ok yes I will get play back logs, they do all direct play, at least that's what the stats for needs says; ac3 is just choppy with 4k, which is definitely odd. Typically choose ac3 to ensure that it doesn't transcode but this is different.

this looks like it could be server related, I will ping @Luke https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/99551-weird-responce-with-parentid-vs-no-parentid/

I agree with you on that respect, it can easily cause confusion there.

yeah that does not sound like a lot, not enough to cause the problem I was refering to, you need like 30 or 40 new episodes for one show to cause that. I will have a look.

Hi, yes we hope to bring these to the app in future updates. Thanks.

You can not Remove/blank a admin password, only a user password. A admin does not need to know a user password to change there password. So you can remove or apply a new one. As for the fake dots I believe it was a browser/device thing and has not representation of how long the password is. But Current Password represent a password is set.

Got that 4k tv I wanted. But... (because there is always a "but")... The HDMI wire I spent extra on and feed through the wall when I built the place is faulty. The HDR on the movies look all snowy and the TV keeps switching between HDR and Power saving. Argh! What a let down. Prime Cables is going to hear from me tomorrow for sure. I spent over sixy bucks in a good HDMI cable for this exact purpose. Otherwise, the tv works awesome with my other HDMI cable.

It's per user. One is global for all users and the other is specific to a particular user. So If I want to limit everyone to 3 streams I would do this in the network section. Then if I had two users I want to limit to 2 streams I would do that for each of the two users. Hopefully that explains it better.

Only in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.. https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001848801-emby-guide-data Otherwise you need to get it from Schedules Direct.

This is really subjective on how often and currently this option is not built into Emby UI. Personally I vacuum the database with every Emby Update, so quite often on my beta system but not so often on my release system.

With regard to the Shield TV (Pro) itself, one reason I bought it is because I could install Kodi on it and tell Kodi to use Emby as a backend. But it turns out I hate Kodi (lol). When I was customizing it, I found myself merely trying to recreate the Emby UI. So I gave up on Kodi and just use the Emby app instead.

Hi, thanks for reporting. It's resolved for the next update to the Emby iOS app.

OK, got it. Thanks anyways for looking. And thanks again for the 60fps fix, it is working great!

@alscaldas Updated Rock pro build attached. No change to MediaImport, the updates are for LibreELEC. Cheers, LongMan LibreELEC-RK3399.arm-10.0-devel-20210628221213-f904c2e-rockpro64.img.gz

Thanks. Good to know. As DSM 7 will be released very soon, could you put a new sticky post on this forum (not the Testing Area) and add the instructions there, rather than pointing to a post in the testing area with a title saying testing, as I don't think many non-testers will look there before blindly updating to DSM 7. Personally I'll wait a few months before updating to DSM 7 to make sure all the little bugs are ironed out (not in Emby, but other packages).

I would try and perform a vacuum on your database. With Emby Server shutdown you want to edit the system.xml file found in the config directory. Edit this line: <VacuumDatabaseOnStartup>false</VacuumDatabaseOnStartup> to be <VacuumDatabaseOnStartup>true</VacuumDatabaseOnStartup> You can also update this line to read: <DatabaseCacheSizeMB>512</DatabaseCacheSizeMB> Restart Emby. Upon restart Emby will optimize the database so please be aware it will take a bit longer than normal to restart which is normal. Let us know how performance is after doing the above.

you'd gain the ability to stream to more users simultaneously, you'd get a higher electricity bill, thats pretty much it.

Hi FLAC+CUE users, after years of searching for a media server for my music library consisting of FLAC+CUE files I solved the problem in a way that should work for everyone who has a music library on some NAS that supports docker for any media server supporting FLAC (incl. Emby): https://github.com/andresch/trackfs Trackfs creates a virtual filesystem (aka FUSE) in which it splits up all FLAC+CUE files into individual tracks (without permanently allocating disc space). It also copies all (most) meta data (incl. pictures) into the individual tracks. Then you use that virtual filesystem as source in your media server. Hope this helps some of you too. Comments/questions on github are welcome. Andreas

I would love to have the option of displaying a large banner-like image at the top of the homepage to showcase featured titles like Netflix does. Configuration options: Display image or video Play trailer w/ mute toggle switch Rotating list based on release date, newly added or custom Enable on homepage and/or within each category Thanks and keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing Emby's continuing evolution.

Shocking! Disabled or not you should be ashamed of yourself for writing this type of post publicly! You may be frustrated but the following comments have no place PUBLICLY anywhere: SO STOP BEING A BASTARD AND FIX THIS YOURE A POOR EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING MOST LIKELY BECAUSE YOURE AN ASS The above are just outrageous things to say. The support from the emby developers IS second to none Sincerely Mark Gibbons

See if this post and video attached is of help for doing the upgrade:

Hi, not yet but we are interested in lyrics support for future updates. Thanks.
