I've seen many people ask for help to see if their network paths are correct when setting up their libraries, especially the Optional shared folder path. I've also seen other apps have a test button to check if a connection is up and running. Would it be possible to add a TEST button, at least for the Optional path? Then it would pass back if the connection were good or not. It could even be one button that checks both paths.

Log file sanitization is being added for the upcoming 4.7 server release. They'll be anonymized when you download them from the server web interface. You can participate with this starting with the next beta server release. It may take time for us to spot everything that needs to be marked for anonymization. Thanks.

After emailing billing support my previous purchase was credited, I was then able to purchase again from the emby app on my android tv resulting in it successfully unlocking.

Have done a quick and dirty script for this. So anyone using WINDOWS as Server can use this script. This should also give the devs an idea on how to get all the URLS. ###Default Values for replacement instead of Domains, IPs etc... ###outfile contains the name of the log file, this script must be run from the directory the log file is in $ips = "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" $outfile = "embyserver.txt" $port = ":XXXX" $url = "DOMAIN.COM" ###opens the file embyserver.txt for read and replaces IPs, Urls### $newcontent = GC $outfile| Foreach-Object { $_ -replace "(http://\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})", $ips ` -replace "(https://\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})", $ips ` -replace "(to \d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})", $ips ` -replace "(RemoteIp: \d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})", "RemoteIp: $ips" ` -replace "(https?:\D+)", $url ` -replace "(http?:\D+)", $url } ###write the replaced log to file $newcontent > $outfile ###opens the logfile again to search for stings like pw= etc and removes the whole line if find ###saves the content without all lines matching one of the given text patterns ###if your IPTV url uses different keywords for credentials just add them in there $newcontent = GC $outfile| Where-Object{$_-NotMatch 'pw=|passwd=|password=|user=|uname=|username='} ###saves the file now without any lines that contains one of the given credential strings above $newcontent > $outfile ###log is now clean, no URLs, no external IPs and no login creds for IPTV URLS and Lists if you are using WINDOWS you can copy this into a texfile and save as a .ps1 file Remember this script needs to be executed in the same directory your log is. This should help until the Beta will be a stable one for those of us not wanting to use a beta server

To answer some questions, the direct access hasn’t worked in any beta of android 11. Been trying to get this to work myself for quite some time on android 11 but no dice. That seems borked. The external storage spoken about refers to external storage used on the shield such as usb storage that houses plex data. Fortunately it doesn’t affect Emby as far as I know. Also DV will never come to pre 2019 shield devices due to licensing and hardware limitations.

Sometimes my best ideas are stolen from other people

Status Update: Currently I have no more issues on my list. (Music compilations support will not be added in next betas as long as a stable version is not released). One improvement is still on my list and pending. Autodetect bandwidth Several reported (internet stream) issues are actually related to bandwidth limitations and can be easily fixed by manually adjusting the network speed. However, this is not user friendly and very hard to detect. Kodi sometimes just crashes in that case, no proper error msgs. Impossible to know what's going on without sophisticated debugging the kodi.log If any other issues still exists, let me know, but no more feature requests are accepted (feature freeze) till stable version is released.

It must be because I could never get it to work since being on android 11 while I could on my other shield which was still on 8.2.3 running the exact same server and app back when we were testing the server. The android tv app worked fine except for this issue of direct file. We spent quite a bit of time on this back in November but never got around to finish it as the server was the main focus.

this was just a quick and dirty work, i also haven't excluded the emby related URLs, this should just show it is possible, but i didn't want to do all their work

Could the way User Settings are handled be changed so that: 1 - Every setting that is changed via the Admin/Server - Users settings page becomes the new default for that particular user (instead of the Emby supplied default). 2 - Any setting that is changed appropriate for an end user to change from within that particular user account being signed in is saved at the local device level, and would be used instead of Server specified defaults. This wouild: A - Allow us to adjust the default behavior when NO local settings exist. B - Still have local device specific settings override what have been set as Server defaults. (Allowing the same User to have different settings per Device - as it is now.) It doesn't seem like the logic would be that much different than it is now. Assuming if no local settings already exist today, the Server has to pass along what it has them as for a starting point. The change wouild just be allowing us to alter what any of those base default settings are.

Bom Dia, Nós da Comunidade Brasileira precisamos muito de um gerenciamento de usuários mais aprimorados, como por exemplo: Gerenciamento de conexões simultâneas, e controle de usuário com validade de tempo . Isso faz muita falta em nosso servidor, por que precisamos controlar a validade do usuário tudo manualmente pelo Excel. Com muitos usuários esse controle faz muita falta. Good Morning, Brazilian Community We need a lot of improved user management, such as: Concurrent connection management, and time-validated user control. This is very necessary on our server, because we need to control the validity of the user everything manually by Excel. With many users this control is much needed.

Could Emby Theater please have the ability to change automatically to HDR when starting an HR video. Kodi supports this on Windows. MadVR supports this on Windows and has for years but apparently MPV was better for Emby. the tv and android apps support this.

I would like to lock a speed level (for example, 1.5x) on each new video. This could be set client side and not persisted on the server. My use case for this is that I use emby to watch training/certification videos, and they are very slow and only last a few minutes per video. One topic might consist of 20-30 videos. Currently, I need to keep speeding them up individually.

Hello I am not sure where this should go or how to contact the dev, but I was wondering if the missing episodes function can be fixed. A lot of the times it shows episodes as missing that have not aired yet. Thank you,

Yessir. Remounted the nas and can access and play video via x-plore, kodi, VLC no issues. Checked and rechecked permissions for .63 which is set to allow. Also made sure the app itself has the box checked pass direct path. This is what my synology nas 4.7.0.20 is showing. So I’m at a loss.

This is an excellent idea. Thanks @FrostByte! Sure would make trouble shooting easier.

The TV app does not need write access at this time.

VERY promising!! I didnt have a lot of time to test but the few things I did try worked as expected!!

I love this plugin. For me, the only thing missing from Emby at this point is discovering new upcoming shows.

Ah, that makes sense. Yes, I was using it on my Shield TV in the Living Room which is a 65" TV and it is very large there. Not a big deal I guess because I would rather see it than turn it off completely. Either way, this plugin makes my TV watching experience much more pleasurably in Emby now, which I prefer to watch all my content through.

That's why I've never used it, as it is quicker to start via the HTTP method.

Damn, the original MOVIE version was in 2013. But why would it overlap Cosmos? Okay, set the year to 2018, cut to temp, scan, Cosmos good, cut back to series, scan Cosmos with Season 00 & 02. Take year off, repeat last, same results. CRAP, I remembered I hadn't changed the year on the episodes. I use Series Title (year) - S0nE0n - episode title for each episode. Changed the year on all the episodes and Emby picked it up fine. If it is a clear failure to find a series or episodes, it would be nice to show up somewhere like the metadata manager in red? Something other than stuffing it in a series without those seasons. Then I could get the key from a service if I didn't notice the year thing. I looked at my subdirs and Cosmos (1980) is the first without a Season 00 & 02. Thanks for the fast fast fast reply!

See if the latest beta of the app gives you the proper permission setting.

Updated both my Shield's (2017 and 2019 Pro) to SHIELD Experience 9 yesterday. No issues so far. I was a bit concerned seeing earlier messages. Both are now running 6.2.6 beta.

Hi, yes it's not a bad idea. Thanks for the feedback.

I would monitor the hotfixes in their forums. I signed up for hotfixes and already got the first. It sounds like another is coming soon

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/shield-tv/9/481612/bug-problem-with-1080i-50hz-content-in-new-shield-/ yep - seems this release has a few issues ..

but like you said broken for version 9

I use an external tool to group and order things as I like and get rich guide data for all, OTA as well as IPTV. I have a instance for Emby and one for Tivimate. Editing in Emby is the stuff of nightmares IMO. And I can deal with both devices in one tool.

Fantastic... I enjoyed helping you! vic

I assume from reading elsewhere there was a change in SE9 for security reasons so the apps can't just go out and grab what they want, and instead they have to be granted access by the Shield first. Then the apps need to be changed to see those changes. That's just a WAG on my part though

I would not get the tube version though. It’s 32bit and half the storage of the pro model. It’s been reported that it can have trouble with full remux material.

Ya, Audiomixer has an older Shield and has been running the beta for some time now so he would have firsthand experience. Paying Dolby for a bunch of licenses on older Shields would cost them a lot I would imagine. Anyway, it's easy to tell. Just go to display settings and if you don't see DV listed then the TV and/or the Shield doesn't support DV. Even if it doesn't support it, you can still play DV profile 7 and profile 8.1 media until you get a 2019 because both those profiles have a HDR10 base layer and the RPU will just get ignored. DV profile 5 is the one that will look all green or purple because the BL isn't HDR10.

Thanks for ruining my dream ! ok, shield 2019, here I come !

I can also confirm the playlist looks good.

Nice changelog, much appreciate the afford you put in the development of this plugin @quickmic. Also can confirm in embuary the artwork looks good.

I'm just a moderator of this section of the forum. Luke and SamES are the devs. I'm guessing they removed it to clean up the screen some after the Info popup was added to the OSD and is the same on all ET apps now. However, you need to be actually playing the movie to see it now. Maybe the devs can comment.

Thanks, I have just sent you the log with debug mode enabled. I have checked and there is a rule in the firewall to allow the process.

You can try using TheMovieDB as your source for this one, they seem to have the complete Season 10 as per your file structure https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/873-columbo/season/10

File browsing apps may require permissions be manually set to modify/delete files or directories.

I've not been brave enough to Upgrade to 9 - and by the looks of it a good call as I use direct file access.. tbh everything is working perfectly well for me on the previous/current version - so I'm not in any great rush to upgrade..

Hi, yes this is happening within ffmpeg. We're looking into improving it. Thanks.

Let's not forget the first few lines which sometimes contains a users real name in the file path: 2022-01-05 00:00:15.632 Info App: Application version: 4.7.0.18 2022-01-05 00:00:15.632 Info App: Emby Command line: C:\Users\MyRealName\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\EmbyServer.dll Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10.0.19043 Framework: .NET 6.0.0-rtm.21522.10 OS/Process: x64/x64 Runtime: C:/Users/MyRealName/AppData/Roaming/Emby-Server/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 16 Data path: C:\Users\MyRealName\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata Application path: C:\Users\MyRealName\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system

All of the problems I posted about in this thread have been resolved. Rather quickly (about a month) I might add. No problems with the HDHomerun tuners. I have 2. The system can record 8 channels at the same time. No problems with the CPU going into an infinite loop (ie 100% ).

I don't have any music playlist, but generally, if you have the "..." in the bottom right corner of the image (you do in genres, collections, etc..) and click Edit Image, and then delete the image... it will regenerate based on the content at that point (so things you added after that first track should randomly appear)... But I am not currently letting Emby manage my audio, so I am not completely sure I am correct here... I am sure someone else will be certain one way or the other... -G

ideia interessante mas acredito que foge da ideia de desenvolvimento do emby pois o mesmo é um gerenciador de biblioteca particular (acredito que tenha sido desenvolvido para tal propósito) mas ai as pessoas já crescem o olho e querem utilizar ele para o lucro pessoal e vender assinatura como é feita na Netflix e sem pagar os royalties para a indústria de produção de cinema etc. sendo assim criando essa ferramenta de gerenciamento de assinatura o emby cairia nas mãos da SOPA, PIPA ou estar na Copyright Alert System – Sistema de Aviso de Copyright. isso foi só uma observação

Yes I agree that's a good idea. Thanks.

a simple update that is missing in the administrative area of ​​the emby is a search field in the users session.

Um recurso muito interessante seria o controle de usuario, por exemplo poder colocar uma data de vencimento no usuário, para que possamos ter um melhor controle
