IT'S HERE VERSION 2.1.0.0 IntroSkip Instructions & Beta Releases - Tools and Utilities - Emby Community Please read through the instructions on the first post thoroughly before downloading the latest release.

Another new version available: 6.0.9 build 55 (ex5) delta changelog: - artwork cache double start - add more fucntions to plugin menu - add update libraries option - fix multiserver manual db reset - fix backup restore - file io changed api This could be the next beta version, if no major issues reported.

Iconic 2.0 is now available through the catalog. New in 2.0: - Support for per Library configuration - Initial support for TV: Show, Season, Episode - Initial support for Collections - Adds support for Movie Extras - Optimizations to improve image load times @luundblad **Existing 1.x users will need to recreate their configurations in 2.0. [emby-path]/plugins/configurations/Iconic.xml can be used as a reference to more easily recreate 1.x configurations in the 2.x UI.

I was able to pull a bit more performance out of it, with some alterations. Check out these numbers: Yes those numbers are correct, running 5 series at once, and each detection only taking just over half a second, and memory under 100MB. I bet it could be faster too. I bet I can get each detection down to half a second. EDIT: Ops, I meant to put this in the dev channel... but it's cool because... fast computer things!

New version available 6.0.9 build 45 (ex4): delta changelog: - fix item remove queue issue - add artwork cache in pluginmenu (optional) - artwork cache fix - delete artwork cache optional for mandatory db resyncs - manual db reset fixes when keeping settings

So I got a test server setup with 9 shows and 302 episodes. running the detection task gave the following results: Series Processed Average CPU Time Taken 2 24% 5min 4 50% 4min 16 secs 6 44% 4min 11 secs 8 30% 4min 23 secs I've just started checking the chapters, but so far so good.

Nice page Does this require Emby beta server still? If so probably should mention that on the instructions page

Cool well i'll leave you to pop that in with your current update

If you can keep the two databases in sync it will work.. Im weak when it comes to db's but my understanding was you cant sync sqlite without taking one or both out of production during the sync.. and you need them to be in constant sync not once a day. IMO On the nginx side you can use load balancing but you need to use the "ip-hash" function on the load balance config, otherwise the load balancer will split connections across the other servers.. for example if one person is streaming a movie, it gets started buffered, then on its next request for the next chunk it would try from another server which would fail because that server isnt transcoding the movie. IP-hash will keep user1 on server A then user2 connects he gets put on ServerB and stays there.. How many "friends" do you have connecting? and what issues are you seeing... I have done testing in the past inviting everyone on this forum to hit my server with a stream... I only had 35 participants but all were transcoding HD video and the server had room to go, just didn't have enough testers... see the results in this thread: This was all done on one bare-metal server, with one GPU RTX4000. If you have way more than 35 then ok maybe you need load balancing.. But if you are not transcoding at all the bottle neck is somewhere else. I've noticed the hard drives are usually the first to be the bottleneck (if you have a good GPU) transcode drive needs to be a good SSD, array where the video is stored needs to have good throughput. add those streams up and see where your bottle neck is. For example ignore transcoding.. if you have 35 movies being played at 10Mbps each you are talking about 350Mbps which can be a bottle neck for a single drive, like a transcode drive, especially if its reading and writing at the same time. So, again just curious how many friends and what were your issues?

Just make sure you use the same library type when doing this.. The downside as already mentioned is that the same movie can show up multiple times in lists of continue, next up, searches, collections, etc. I myself do this as well for Christmas movies. I keep all Christmas movies in their own folder structure which is part of my normal Movies library but around Thanksgiving or month before Christmas I add a Christmas Movies Library to help people find those movies easier.

i put them together using mkvtoolnix, the chapters etc. won't be removed and i have it as 1 file/movie

The thing with Caddy is that its defaults are all sensible; there is no need to be looking at configurations like the big nginx files so often discussed here. It just works (which is easier for the professionals as well as other users!). But special requirements like manipulating headers, blocking IP ranges, etc are also catered for if you want to go that way. The reason I use Caddy rather than SSL directly in Emby is (a) the automation, but (b) because I'm already running it for multiple sites, and in preference to setting up extra port forwarding I simply specify different site names in Caddy, proxying the Emby one to my Emby server - for me it was actually less work.

You are affected by a critical bug fixed in the 6.0.9-build 45 (ex4). Sync queue crashed due to "remove item" error. This is probably the reason thy recordings not synced. "Remove queue" is the first in the realtime update stack, if it crashes it doesn't even start "Update queue" and "Userdata queue". Some of them can be enabled if in config menu. Frankly, as you request more easy access to them tells me you are using workarounds on regular basis. -> This should never been the case. Anyway, I'll add some more functions (optional) in the plugin menu.

Loudness, pitch are the main ones that don’t sound like they are different, but analysis shows they are. Basically it boils down to consistent audio quality in seasons.

We are Hoping to have a major update for you all tomorrow. i will list out the changes and update the instructions before release. it is still advisable to test this new release on small test system with a few TV shows that have a good amount of content. About 300-500 episodes. hopefully this release with just be house cleaning the niggley bugs out. a huge point to note, and we have tested this now, if your audio varies between episodes in a season, tge plugin will have difficulty in detection. There is nothing we can do about it and we tried changing the sensitivity of the detection and it proves weird results. anyways catch yas all on the flip side

We developing a dashboard (web) to watch movies or series together. Our proof of concept was successful and works as we wanted. Proof of concept: We have tested the proof of concept and are now continuing to expand the platform, which is of course linked to Emby. Tested functionality and implemented; Connect users with external dashboard (connect uid's) Link devices to user Make groups / invite other users Sync video with each other or group Resync in group Groupchat Possible ideas Discord connection (chat, sync, profile pictures) Discord auto voicechannel (only users who are in the group) Share this dashboard with the community Dashboard: Join room (select device): Active group session with chat: Will be updated!

Actually, I believe only Windows requires the beta, since other platforms seem to have gotten chromaprint with Emby 4.6

I can not ever go back to plex. there are too many things that they're doing on that platform that I don't agree with. Too many to even list here. While I do believe Plex has some better implementations than Emby currently offers, Emby offers better implementations than Plex does in other areas that are important to me. I have a few minor gripes about Emby. My gripes with Plex are much larger. Once the devs here actually get around to implementing these few features, Emby takes the cake imo. While the devs aren't always the quickest to implement upgraded or even newer features, they at least seem to listen to feedback, unlike the team behind Plex.

I've used something similar to this in the past to handle table presentation on smaller screens. https://www.cssscript.com/pure-css-mobile-friendly-responsive-table/ Never tried it in the Emby UI though.

installed the latest experimental, but same result...after install and logging in to Emby, the window pops up asking which mode, and i select Add-on...then the window pops up asking which libraries to sync, i choose All, then i see the movies being scanned and sync'd, but after movies are done, the syncing process just ends will work on uploading a log

I didn't even know I could do this. lol. That's pretty much sorted my issue- thanks my dude. Would still be cool to get it with icons though

It doesn't. Drawing shapes on a bitmap is trivial and instantaneous. To the extent there's any 'stress', it's in writing the final product to disk in the cache, which is happening whether you use any image enhancers or not.

Ahh sorry that was the problem for sure!

Very nice progress. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the update, appreciated.

Sure thing. Activity log is better. Html tables are never great on mobile. Auto organize has the same issue with a bad interface for mobile. Unfortunately, there isn't a quick fix for mobile use and the table. Perhaps there is some kind of css property or media query that could limit the table data for mobile, but I'm not sure. If there is a way to do it, I'll add it to auto organize too.

you could just rotate your display to make it landscape and then everything would fit on @chef shall we just rename it to activity log?

Well, honestly, I can't tell you: it happened that I realized that those two collections were not complete (or even created), but I don't know if I'll have any more like that. But we can say that yes, it has been solved.

Are you still having an issue?

Cheese, I am syncing the exclude list button fix to the repo.

I'll look at that right away. EDIT: yup target is off. I will fix! Thank you.

This is because the plugin is still in Development, so there is no point having them run all the time or on a trigger while we are testing. It could clog a system if it fails for what ever reason.

Nice post @pir8radio. Lots of good info there.

Hi there, "Ignore file names which contain:" cannot be saved. And for a few days now the buttons for the scan have been missing. AutoOrganize can no longer be found via planned tasks.

Removed theater, restared my pc and reenstalled it. All works fine now thanks Thanks for you help all

It does automatically re-calculate the correct points for the appended files.

Just use one of the accepted naming conventions, i.e. <extrasfilename>-landscape.ext or <extrasfilename>-thumb.ext. https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159102-movie-naming

I've been away from Emby discussions for a few weeks (other things in my life!), but being in the UK I can confirm all the issues being discussed here. I have also previously brought up the issue not being mentioned in the current discussion which is that our subtitles in the UK are also different from the US ones, and are often not accessible live through Emby, in some cases hanging the streaming through Emby completely (all reported and logged months back). Recordings are OK, and I have a few times simply played back a minute behind while recording, which usually sorts things out. But that's a pain, not least because recording can't be set to run continuously over program boundaries - for instance, our local news follows our national news as a separate program, so we can't just watch through the whole news using this method. At present I don't use Emby for live broadcasts, as I (my wife, actually) require subtitles, and I classify it as unusable in practice. Paul

Personally I now tend to keep these type of films as the intended two parts - same with films like Extended Editions of LoTR. Each part of the film then keeps it intended chapters and lets be honest, nobody is going to watch a 4hr film without a break .. I just put them both in the same folder - with a '- D1 or -D2' after the primary part of the filename - and then create a collection of them both called the same thing. Then you only get a single entry in your list of films but get to see both parts when selecting it.. Example file naming :- Directory of V:\Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) [tmdbid=791373] 10/09/2021 23:17 59,568,008,668 Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) - D1 - Bluray-2160p HDR THD 7.1.mkv 10/09/2021 23:38 41,339,473,378 Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) - D2 - Bluray-2160p HDR THD 7.1.mkv

Assuming video preview thumbnail extraction is enabled.

Oh, you mean that I should copy it and not move it. As it is in the instructions: "- copy files from old Emby share to new data location: cp -rv / volume1 / Emby / * / volume1 / @ appdata / EmbyServer " Now I got it

I have it in multiple setups and have had no issues ever. Just make sure they are same-level folders, no nested folder can be a part of another library.

Oh, tell me how you really feel The new one we have is going to be the best yet, I. All seriousness. There are so many improvements. The memory usage, the chapters, and the UI have all gotten better.

If you go to the detail screen of that item (click on it in that image) you should get chapters on that screen.

This is on our to do list for an upcoming update. Thanks for the feedback.

This is from 10 days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThePosterDB/comments/pjz28m/where_are_the_agents/ It's too bad they're still not offering a public API.

If you look in the ffmpeg log for that stream (in the 'logs' area of emby), it will tell you all you need to know in great detail. In summary, it buffers ahead of the .ts playback - if your download is unreliable and the stream 'stops' then it it generally not recoverable, so the best option is to stop and re-start a new stream. Again, the ffmpeg logs will show you when and why this happened. Note the 'speed' of any upload/download is not the only factor in networking/streaming, latency is key - and a low latency, low speed line is much preferable to a high or intermittent latency high speed line.

Ah, looking at the code I can see why it wasn't completely implemented. It looks as though the ground work is there. Perhaps getting multiple watch folders is the first step in a more complex sorting. We definitely want to keep things as straight forward as possible. But, let's see what can be arranged, in any case.

No. The strength of Emby is in the community. Saying everything's provided "completely for free" is very disrespectful to the forum users who spend literally hours/days/dollars figuring things out, posting error logs, troubleshooting and helping others out for your product. For free. You're welcome. The developers can't run this completely on their own, and the way they most of the time take very serious what's said on this forum makes Emby stand apart from other products. IMHO bugging end users (like my kids) with "ads" without providing an option to disable this after the first time does not fit very well in in this. Of course you're welcome to disagree.

I would second this. I don't mind so much the Emby Premiere, but respectfully, I have zero interest in Emby Theater and it's continual urging is starting to get annoying. Keep throwing up the Premiere notifications at me, fair enough, but at least put in a "[ ] don't show again" checkbox for semi-unrelated ads like Theater. Maybe that's a decent compromise?
