@chef, I know I for one would definitely appreciate the ability to modify this, even if it's hidden behind "here be dragons" warnings. A 90%+ automated rate (and presumably increasingly good as the technology advances) is all well and all, but it would make the few "misses" even more annoying. Maybe not for first watch, but upon rewatch I'd like the ability to 'correct' the issue. IMO there's no such thing as perfect data, so should expect to have to fix at some point.

I'll try it out now. @samuelqwe, here is a crude version of the plugin. It'll only run on Linux currently, or until Emby adds the ffmpeg controls for chromaprint. Sammy and rbjtech if you want to try it on windows, just be sure to back up Emby's ffmpeg, and I'll PM you a substitute version for windows with the proper commands. NOT FOR WINDOWS : IntroSkip_v2.zip same old story, clear browser history .

Ok. thanks a lot!

This shouldn't try and remove, or read from .bin files that have already been processed. It also shouldn't cause any issues with a database file which has been already semi-processed. DOWNLOAD: IntroSkip_v2.zip

Okay I found the fingerprinting error. I made a bad calculation when processing episodes. It totally makes sense that the file wouldn't be there under the conditions I wrote.

Enable Nfo saver in particular library, refresh metadata. Upon deleting a Library, all containing movies will get removed from db. Enable Nfo reader in new library. Upon re-adding movies, metadata that you stored in the Nfos (<dateadded> tag being on them, amongst all others) will be read/imported.

I have my audiobooks as separate mp3 files, one for each chapter, inside a folder for the book, inside a folder for the author. Emby sees them as multiple songs inside an album, which is then considered as a book. This brings 3 problems: In my library, I see multiple chapters of the same book in sections like "Recently seen" or "Continue listening", which brings a lot of clutter to the UI, with 0 benefits (see multiple_chapters.png for a reference) The playlist section in the navigation menu is now filled with books and auto-expands everytime I open the menu. Worsening this mild inconvenience, the playlist thumbnail is the book cover x4 (because all the chapters have the same cover) When I resume listening from the "Continue listening" section, it only resumes the current chapter, so when it ends, the playback stops. I had an additional problem, where a book wouldn't show up in "Continue listening", but I think I solved it by going into "advanced setting" of the audiobook library and selecting 0 and 99 as percentage for "continue listening"; this wouldn't be a problem if the "media" was the book and not the chapter. Since this is just a way to organize an audiobook library, considering books strictly as a single media could be an option in the library setting.

Hi Are there any plans in the future to show extra fields when filtering songs in a music library? For example when I filter all the House songs between 1995 and 2000, I would like to see the year or the genre next to each song in the results (without having to select a specific song to view the details of all the metadata). I know the Album filter has more fields that can be shown in the results but my music collection is based on songs only.

Okay egg on my face, but I'll leave this here for the next idiot to do what I did. I crossed opensubtitles.com and .org up - my free account still existed, I just registered at .com and then tried plugging those in. Subtitles are working with my original login and I'm assuming the actual fix was that I updated and rebooted my server.

I’m trying it now with a duration of 10 minutes. I believe that is what I was using before with the older plugin, so it should be fine with that. Obviously, there are some expected issues following the switch to the built-in chromaprint, but they should be fixable in some way.

Yes it's a Maxwell 1st gen chip so basically the same abilities for transcoding as the 750-TI

Okay, this sounds right to me too. I'll make the table configurable, and place a save button on each row... Or maybe a submit for the whole season... That might be a better option.

It's still Maxwell, so I'd guess nope.

He has, streams 2 and 3 are HEVC, no HW decode.

I've recreated my jail using these new instructions > https://emby.media/freebsd-server.html installing emby-server-freebsd12_4.6.4.0_amd64.pkg. I'll let you know if that fixes the problem.

Going to try this and will let you know...

Thanks! I've rebuilt my emby jail on TrueNAS 12.0-U5 and will see if this fixes some of the issues I was having with 4.6.4.0.

OK I'd try the <CollapseSingleItemFolders>false</CollapseSingleItemFolders> switch, restart emby and check /emby/root/deafult/*/options.xml options.xml for Home videos & photos was already set to "false" and the result looks very good: the folder ist in place and sort correctly -> 2021-06-13 But as I 've been warned, all custom settings with the meta data in the whole library was deleted and I has to restore emby from backup to get it back. All over all the hint from cayars works well to resolv the sorting problem. For the folder issu I will wait for further solutions. Again, thanks for the great support! beste regards Matthias

I think our beta server should be able to record it...

@chef Ran the fingerprinting overnight, and eventually the task failed like @Sammy. This was the error: One or more errors occurred. (Could not find file '/config/plugins/configurations/introEncoding/426421.bin'.) at System.Threading.Tasks.TaskReplicator.Run[TState](ReplicatableUserAction`1 action, ParallelOptions options, Boolean stopOnFirstFailure) at System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ForWorker[TLocal](Int32 fromInclusive, Int32 toExclusive, ParallelOptions parallelOptions, Action`1 body, Action`2 bodyWithState, Func`4 bodyWithLocal, Func`1 localInit, Action`1 localFinally) --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw(Exception source) at System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ThrowSingleCancellationExceptionOrOtherException(ICollection exceptions, CancellationToken cancelToken, Exception otherException) at System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ForWorker[TLocal](Int32 fromInclusive, Int32 toExclusive, ParallelOptions parallelOptions, Action`1 body, Action`2 bodyWithState, Func`4 bodyWithLocal, Func`1 localInit, Action`1 localFinally) at System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ForEachWorker[TSource,TLocal](TSource[] array, ParallelOptions parallelOptions, Action`1 body, Action`2 bodyWithState, Action`3 bodyWithStateAndIndex, Func`4 bodyWithStateAndLocal, Func`5 bodyWithEverything, Func`1 localInit, Action`1 localFinally) at System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ForEachWorker[TSource,TLocal](IEnumerable`1 source, ParallelOptions parallelOptions, Action`1 body, Action`2 bodyWithState, Action`3 bodyWithStateAndIndex, Func`4 bodyWithStateAndLocal, Func`5 bodyWithEverything, Func`1 localInit, Action`1 localFinally) at System.Threading.Tasks.Parallel.ForEach[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source, ParallelOptions parallelOptions, Action`2 body) at IntroSkip.AudioFingerprinting.AudioFingerprintScheduledTask.Execute(CancellationToken cancellationToken, IProgress`1 progress) at Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.ScheduledTaskWorker.ExecuteInternal(TaskOptions options) I think I know why it occurred, and I was able to restart the task just fine, but you'll likely need to adjust it so it's not a problem. I think the issue happened because it was trying to fingerprint a file that doesn't exist anymore (deleted recording, etc.) and then the task fails when it tries to read a non-existent .bin file.

Yes and yes. Nfo will likely hold all the metadata you need, but yes, depending on your choice of scrapers, it will usually hold TMDB Id and likely IMDB Id. You should, as that would eliminate the need to re-scrape them. Anyway, AFAIR image paths saving is off by default, you should explore Nfo plugin settings for additional options.

A factory reset also fixed the issue in my case as well.

That's resolved for the next update to the iOS app. Thanks.

We'll be getting an iOS update out very soon. Thanks guys.

The page looks like this while setting the sort to Title: The single video file is sorted correctly! I'll try the .xml hint from Happy2Play too and report the summary it here. thx Matthias

Zu spät, ich richte schon alles neu ein. Aber Danke für den Link und deine Hilfe.

We did a remote session and reset the permissions at the top folder and allowed those permissions to trickle down to all folders/files under it.

Fixed applying on USB drive at least, a full write access to "others" too. Thanks to cayars

I think GoT is an edge case - if new to the show, then watching the Intro 7 minutes in for s1e1 really isn't a problem - because all other episodes are picked up correctly - and your code did exactly as it should - it reported that s1e1 did not have an Intro (to match any other episode) - which is correct. That is all great for nicely authored shows - but in the case of another GoT source - where people have chopped off the recap, chopped off the HBO etc - then this is where your code understandably struggles because it is simply not being able to match like for like, but that is no fault of the code - the problem is the variable quality media. I've still been unable to properly edit s1e1 to add the Intro (incl the HBO) to after the 7 min mark - but removing it (see below) produces the correct results - so I'm confident it would behave in exactly the same way. I'm going to add a few more shows and see what happens - but I think we are good .. @chef

Not yet but we are working on it.

I don't think the code is the problem - it is doing exactly as it was designed to do. In summary Ep1 is not being picked up as having an Intro - which is 'correct' as it's intro does not match the other episodes. I'm just proving the point by inserting the full Intro into Ep1 - but having trouble with matching the I-frames as it didn't like my previous attempt - so I assume it has to be bit-perfect (ie not an 'insert' )

Removed the servers ... removed user connect on servers, re-connect user on server, add servers manulay, remove old not connecting servers

Most TV apps don't support all the codecs the Shield does. For instance LG and Samsung both dropped DTS support several years ago which then either needs to be converted on the fly or you have to select a lossy audio track yourself before clicking play So in order to get HD audio my setup is like this: Shield Pro > Soundbar > Samsung TV ATV can also directly access the location of your files (if set up correctly) thus bypassing the need to stream through Emby server. I don't believe any of the TV apps can do that

He has reinstalled the app and it happens every time so far.

You should have default landing screen options per library in Settings-Home Screen, unless your libraries have changed to Mixed Content,

Hi Guys, Just an update from my side to this small topic here, in case that this could be of some others interest. For me personally, this is the way to go. Emby server installed on Synology Nas (DSM 7.0) Emby client on Nvidia Shield Pro. Forget about smart tv's !!!!! This is amazing fast, no matter what kind of media you choose. it is amazing fast to navigate around in Emby, no matter the size an content of the folders. 4K Ultra HD is fast loading and smooth in scrolling forward/backward and in chapter navigation. I'm preparing my movies and music before adding these to the server, means 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray will be Converted into Mkv files. No transcoding is needed for me. I can only recommend this setup, so Cayars thanks again for your suggestion.

I seemed to have fixed the problem on my end too and it seems to be a Shield problem. I noticed after playing around with this a lot that all of a sudden Plex developed the same problem, when it was initially working and Emby wasn't. I did a factory reset on the Shield and Atmos is now back over TrueHD. I've gone back and forth a number of times between Atmos/TrueHD Atmos/DD+ and Stereo recordings and it all seems to be sticking now. At least in my case, it doesn't seem to be an Emby problem. Thanks all!

OK that actually did it! I think the only thing that's a little confusing out of the wiki is that emby-server.service doesn't exist in /etc/systemd/system, so i had to copy it from /usr/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service to /etc/systemd/system and run daemon-enable Thanks so much for the assist.

I will read it again

It's my Anime library, which has both movies and shows. The last several things I've added to it have been shows.

Ok, loaded the 2.0.38 Beta for firestick, then loaded a hevc 10 bit file that had not played in release 2.0.33. It loaded up and started to play, so looking like it's successful. Good deal. Hope this helps. Thanks. Dave

@BillOatman Here's a link for using ChannelsDVR with Emby and here's the thread in the Emby Forum. I did this for a spell too but had issues sorting out the epg and since I already had a CableCARD solution with the Primes I didn't give it much effort. I just recently canceled my ChannelsDVR and Locast subscriptions even though I wasn't using them for a few months already. I suppose if Spectrum stops supporting CableCARD this will be the solution for the future though. Currently all their hardware is CableCARD based so I don't see that happening too soon but they do like to get people to buy an AppleTV from them and their app is a no-go on the AndroidTV platform too.

Alright sorry this took so long, at first I just tried to turn off subtitle extraction on the fly but that ended up making emby run a lot slower, so instead I downloaded emby theatre and it works beautifully thank you so much for your help

Smooth move, there.

I see it supports Apple CarPlay, too. Very good. Maybe some day I'll have a car that can support it! Thanks, Luke, for the great work.

Could the alpha picker be made to utilise full height of the page and have a bit larger letters? Or is there a particular reason for it to be so condensed and the letters so small? Years haven't been exactly kind on my eyesight, and I would assume I ain't the only one.

Thanks for the chapter skip/info screen in version 1.1.0. Looks excellent. Also, looking forward to the timeline slider using bifs you mentioned will come eventually
