Yes i know that but my system was not in use during this time and yes, the load on the cpu was heavy but the result is good. I cant wait to see the Skip button

Long version: The best thing to do is stay away from DV profile 5 material (stuff from Disney+, Netflix, etc) if your video path doesn't support DV as there is no secondary HDR10 layer to fall back on with these files. This stuff will look green or purple on nonDV setups. The DV profile 7 stuff found on UHD discs has a secondary HDR10 layer which nonDV setups can fall back on and still trigger HDR. Tone mapping only works on HDR10 (at least as of now) and not the DV layer itself which is proprietary as mentioned earlier. You can see the DV profile of your stuff by using the open source app mediainfo. DV profile 5 with no HDR10 layer HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU DV profile 7 with the secondary HDR10 layer HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible

All Collections info is saved in <set> node of any media item (that comprises a Collection) NFO; an item can be a part of single or multiple Collections - hence it's NFO can have single or multiple <set> nodes; Collection metadata (artwork, collection.nfo) are stored in install-dir\programdata\metadata\collections (on Win, @FrostByte just posted Synology location); upon scanning/importing media items (and with NFO reader library settings enabled), all those items will be 'tied' to a Collection (you can let those Collections being made blank and then just overwrite with backup, as long they have same names they should be populated). When I build a beta server, I do it competely offline and in such manner, NFOs+folder backup only.

Love the new radiance blue theme Can we get the option to set the default user theme globally in the admin dashboard?

Technically we support RTL languages, we just might not always display in RTL at this moment. It's something we can look at improving in future updates.

@Cheesegeezer did you mean the implementation of the skip button to the emby core? I did a complete rescan with the latest build. The maximum series to chromaprint at once is set to 6. The maximum series to attempt intro detection at once is set to 4 Fast detection is off My low end CPU had a heavy load with this settings. Episode audio fingerprinting took around 13h. Episode title sequence detection took around 8h Introskip Chapter insertion took around 1h The accuracy is still reall good. The reason why I do a rescan is because the older build was stopping sequence detection after every season. The last title sequence detection with the new version works fine without any breakups.

I think the change to System internal users was for security reasons because you can't logon to your NAS using an internal account and the "emby" account is common to every install

My guess is you may not have set permissions on your share(s) yet which are a little different with DSM 7 Make sure click the drop down box to change to System internal user and then give "emby" read/write permissions. BTW: you can probably still get your play state, etc information back by moving the files from your old DSM 6 install by doing the Putty commands from instructions in the migration post.

we are very close, just need to wrap up some bug issues.

I've been using tdarr to remove all non english subs and audio from my media. one of the things it does is a health check on every file before it processes it. if it fails the health check then i know the file is corrupt and i replace it. it has nice logging and display of all statuses.

They are no more user name and display name. Now it only display name. Member can change the display name from account settings, nothing change.

ability to be able to add a collection into another collection. ie: Spiderman Collection into a SuperHero Collection. like i could with mediabrowser with shortcuts. TIA

I have searched the Feature Requests thread, and I know similar requests have been made, but only for general karaoke support with people requesting support for old depreciated formats as .mid and .kar. CDG+MP3 is by far the most common file format in Karaoke, and also the format used by most professionals. The sound and music quality is by far superior to the midi based file formats. CDG+MP3 is also directly supported in Ffmpeg, and can be transcoded on the fly using a simple command. The video format is only 300x216 (304x224 buffer dimension) so transcoding it would be very cpu friendly. The Ffmpeg command to convert the file is as follows: ffmpeg -copyts -i "01 - Rihanna - Russian Roulette.cdg" -i "01 - Rihanna - Russian Roulette.mp3" -b:v 1M -y "01 - Rihanna - Russian Roulette.MP4" This will force a 1meg video.. I don't know if that is a necessity, as it will produce a larger file than if you omit the -b:v 1M -y option.. The -copyts is there to ignore timestamps in the files, as sometimes this will induce a sync issue with the lyrics shown. Works flawlessly. Now, cdg+mp3 files are normally stored in .zip files to keep them together and for easy management. If there is a problem unzipping and using the files then deleting them after use, I see no problem unzipping the files and leaving them as pairs on the server.. The zipping is purely for ease of use and does not offer much of a space requirement reduction. Please consider this, as a Karaoke Jockey as a side gig, I know a lot of people enjoy this, and in these covid times, no shows are held, and people need entertaining. I serve my immediate family and friends with content, and to be able to add karaoke singing on the fly with emby would be a valuable addition. Best regards, dexus.

Could you allow users to customize the order of movies in collections instead of only having it by alphabetical or by release date? Example: I want to have a collection of Batman movies, both animated and motion pictures but want the motion pictures together followed by all the animated ones. With the current order options, this isn't possible. Thanks!

It would be nice if a user's stream was continuous between devices . Example: If I am listening to music on my phone then I log into the web UI, my stream would move to the web UI. Then if I close the web UI and later in the day I open the app on my phone again, the same stream would continue. Same concept with videos...

@Luke Any reason there is no option to download a complete show or a season, rather than having to do individual episodes please? It's rather tedious doing 24 episode in a season. I think it would be a great addition. Thanks. (PS. I searched for this request, but didn't find anything on the first 3 pages)

Can you include an "add tags" option in the context menu for all library types? It would make it much easier to add tags which I use frequently.

Totally agree, we should be able to restore the previous play queue on any device (specific to that device), regardless of the music/audio books distinction. We've actually already done the work for this in some apps, however it's only used in certain contexts (android auto, carplay, etc). So I'll put this on the short term to do list to apply it everywhere.

Ok. I do think its probably a good idea to make your last audio play queue available at any time. I guess basically make it persistent so your last play queue is just always there where you left it.

People have asked this in years past, but they can't answer. If it leaks there will be a special (and I'm not saying there will be), then it will cut down on sales before the promotion.

Ah no we've been over that already - the TV must support Dolby vision's profiles 7 and 8 in apps because it works on Kodi. I've just sent another log from the app - I played first a Dolby Vision 7 video then and Dolby vision 8 video. The username is j

Earlier ebr mentioned from reading logs the TV is reporting back that it has "limited" DV support. I can only guess that means it doesn't support all profiles

I would love it if the album I was playing on the way to work in the morning was ready to pick up right where I left off on the way home.

Thanks for confirming DV Profile 8 on the Shield. Profile 5 & 7 have always been ok since Exoplayer began supported it. As has been said above, the Android TV in your TV is not the same as the Android TV in the Shield - thus you get different features. Did you send a 'bug report' from the TV version of the Emby App ? As that will have information in it which the Emby App will use to determine the TV's capabilities. If the TV (Android) is reporting it can only do DV5 - then other than 'forcing the issue' I'm not sure what Emby can do about that, as it's an Android/Sony issue to resolve.

Had a similar thought just last week, do read replies:

I really fancy this.

Are you still running into this?

Hola, es una transcodificación para reducir la calidad de la conexión remota. Puede intentar aumentar la configuración de calidad en la aplicación, pero es posible que no se reproduzca correctamente si es demasiado alta para la conexión. Por favor, háganos saber si esto ayuda. Gracias.

so what i do was: edit with nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/emby-server.service and add on [Service] Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5s for now is restarting the service on failure, i will investigate more on the reason of the service stop

مرحبا يا لطيبين اعذروني للعنوان بس عندي فعلا بعض أسئلة بحثت كثيرا قبل طرحها هنا لتتكرموا علينا بالإجابة عليها - هل اذا شخص ما استخدم حسابه في هاتف ios/android/windows تحسب 3 أجهزة من ترخيصه ام جهاز واحد - هل الترخيص يشمل الأنظمة المختلفة ام كل ترخيص لنظام تشغيل واحد - هل في امكانيه لدعم النظام للغات RTL - هل فيه امكانيه لمنع التنزيلات او التحكم بها شكرا جزيلا

Long topic regarding that:

That would be 3 devices, as license ain't tied to number of users. License is tied to your Premiere key, it is OS-agnostic and is cummulative - you can have as many servers on as many OSes as you want with the same key, each will have separate device count, total of which should not exceed your subscription type. AFAIK support is already there? @Luke You can allow/disallow downloads in User settings, it is configured separately on per-user basis.

I forgot to note that it is running ok after I added the exemption for both active threat and antivirus and restored the other quarantine files which auto add to active threat exemption. Still waiting on system scan to finish but I think it’s well past scanning the Emby folder and no detection so far.

Version 4.6.6 should be available now for DSM 7 then.

We'll take a look at it. Thanks.

Is there a way to have extras attach to a collection but not a specific film? I have a lot of box sets that have extra bonus discs (Godfather, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter), and thus a lot of extras that don't tie to a specific film.

+1 for external database support. I prefer the speed and flexibility that this option supports. The majority of people running these are power users or higher and want to take best practices from the business world and replicate them to their home setups. Regardless, I do believe the feature request section needs counters to allow voting to occur so that priority among your userbase can actually be measured rather than just making assumptions. The highly negative tone and confrontational nature of this thread will keep many from posting here preventing the use of this thread from serving as any sort of measurement of interest for this feature.

I've been running with Nested Collections for a while now and have not seen any issues. Creating them involves creating the links directly in the database which is strictly unsupported, so if you do not want to wait for the official support, then ping me a PM and I'll share the document I wrote on how to do it. edit 2nd Feb 2024 - This no longer works ... As an example - This is the Infinity Saga Collection comprising of the Phase 1,2 & 3 (Collections).

Emby's interface on Apple TV Date, and no evolution of design conference to Android box. Will there be a version 2.0 on Apple TV? Because this box also deserves a more modern evolution like the Team Plex I use Emby since a year because I can find it intuitive now with the evolutions of Plex, Squire and infuse applications, I find it less attractive. Your team is Great but think of the apple user who would like their favorite app to modernize on their box THANKS

Hi. Move would imply that an item can only exist in one collection and that is not the case.

Would somewhat fall under the other Multi language metadata requests. Multiple metadata languages - Feature Requests

I agree that long titles are an issue, but I'd prefer an auto scroll when hovering over the title or image.

How is it possible to achieve what he is asking for? For instance, having two covers - one Portuguese, one English - and show the correct one according to the user's settings. This is afaik simply not possible and I do not see how the metadata editor can help but apparently you know the solution...

I also think it would be useful to have this for music.

Since they are all in the same column, something like this. div.dashboardColumn-3-27:not(.dashboardColumn-2-40) {display: none;}

The Roku is lagging a bit behind. The Roku will be supporting themes eventually and following suit with how every other application handles them. This makes the part of your statment "in all apps" not quite true.. yet.

Just to add to EBR's suggestion, ripping your discs to MKV doesn't require sacrificing anything other than the menus. All the video files can be kept as is, without and changes in the video or audio quality. If you've already ripped the discs the conversion is also essentially as fast as a file copy. There isn't any down side and you'll likely save space because while you can keep every track, you almost certainly won't. the discs contain a lot of crap that you won't really want to watch. On a separate point, playlists would be a bad angle to tackle blu-rays anyway. Several vendors load their discs with fake playlists to make ripping a pain. You'll end up browsing 300 'copies' of the same movie, all but one of which shuffle the scenes out of order.

Even though I'd probably not use it myself, I can see how it would be a really convenient feature to have in a media library. I'm all for it, if they feel like it's worth developing!

This will be possible in the future with smart views/playlists. Thanks.
