Feedback to Version 1.91: Possible to make it a "A-Z" Sorting in the Drop Down fields in the Activity and Advanced Tab? the more series you have, the harder it is to find one if not A-Z sorted. And A-Z Sorting for the Blacklistet Item List would be nice too And in the Advanced Tab with the Standard Dark Theme of Emby the Buttons look like this: //Edit: And found another improvement: Under Detection Statistics if "Enable All Stats" is diabled, series which never got scanned show up, in this case the Serie "12 Monkeys" is on my blacklist, because of that they never get scanned. Maybe you can make a toogle like "Show Unscanned" items or so and by default show only items whicht got scanned. Another cool think for the Detection Statistics would be a Drop Down Field to select which Serie to Show. As you can see in my Case i have 878 Items in the List, 25 Items per Page Showen makes ~35 Pages. And this makes it hard to finde the right series your searching for in the statistic.

Could you please add a Webhook for the New content added notification?

CSS + Netflix Billboard Clone + Danmaku (bullet chat/moving subtitle comments) CSS modified from the forum, fixed bugs and parts that didn't work for me. Added front page Netflix Billboard, which is dynamic and updated according to the content provided by the backend server. Use Canvas to make a bullet chat system and pass in comments through an external open API from DandanPlay.

Thanks to all, especially @GrimReaperfor how to gather the Writer info via tMM. It's a powerful tool. Working through all the forum debates on nfo-or-not, is also an interesting exploration of database and file management. I'm going to go the tMM route, as the only way to get the metadata I want captured. That will be a fair amount of additional work for a 4,000 film library, since not all matches are correct, etc., but for now the only way. 1) It would just be a very nice core function of Emby if scraping all metadata fields on the usual metadata sources could be user-selected or turned off in settings (as with tMM, in the example above). Across the entire Emby community there must be a lot of users who wish they could auto-scrape within Emby one field or another not currently captured by Emby (even if we don't all have the same field in mind). Emby gets better and better and incorporating this selective field scraping as a core function - or if someone built a plugin to do it - would mean a user didn't have to find options through this kind of forum digging or take the extra time of the community. 2) On the Writer specific point, I think the key thing is that writers are actually as central (sometimes even more) to many movies as directors and cast (and certainly more than minor cast members), which is why the writer listing is a central data point on lots of movie sites and libraries, and I don't really see why Emby dropped the listing as core, but I respect the devs making judgments even if I don't agree! Great thanks again

A lot of them are ripped from disc releases. My point isn't about the content, just the number of episodes per season, because >25 seems to be an issue for the plugin as it's currently coded.

Just to give you a quick update - @chef has started to look at this and has some early Alpha code put together. So give it a couple of weeks and we may have an early Beta for users to try.

@my95z34It looks like we have similar systems (Though I'm rolling with dual E5-2630L v4's to reduce power consumption), and like you I've had my Unraid server kill off docker containers due to OOM. This is even after adding 32GB swap to my 64GB of RAM! @chef Your recommendation to keep it under 25 is fairly conservative, but a safe approach. I've had other kids shows that have 50-70 episodes go through without trashing my server...I think it's because the episodes are only 6-10 minutes in length, so the size of the fingerprint data is most likely much smaller than a typical 20-24 minute show.

0.0.1.90 Cosmetic fixes - Empty logo images show broken img link, Button text is lost in dark UI on dashboard. Globalization\Localization in the Plugin config UI (Did what we could using what emby already offered for localization) Apple TV message bug... fixed?? Most likely... We currently don't have an apple TV to make sure. 'HasChromaprint' endpoint logic using 'muxer' command args instead of 'version' to find the data Please clear browsing data Beta Released on the Wiki Github page under releases: https://github.com/chefbennyj1/Emby.IntroSkip.Release/releases/download/beta_intro_skip_0.0.1.90/IntroSkip_v0.0.1.90.zip future maintenance for V2 beta: When a series is found to have only one season with the entire series in it: Automatically add it to Exclude list (easiest), Or split the series up into pseudo seasons for detection (most likely easy... just needs more time to code, and test). Possibly have to look at Apple TV messaging again if the current fix (which looks at both Client and Device name being an "Apple" product) doesn't work.

You should be able to tick " Allow installation of applications without a valid digital signature." in the App Center as well. https://docs.qnap.com/operating-system/qts/4.4.x/en-us/GUID-FF49B7EE-E26C-4C8D-B7F7-F606478CF272.html

Dont know if this was already posted. For example something like the capture below at least for ratings, to use omdb or another scraper as first priority for this field, and similar for tvshows with the available scrapers for that library type of course. Also It would be nice and handy to have some language options per field, at least for Title, Tagline, Plot, Episode Title, Episode Plot and Genre fields. Handy if you want to have your tagline/plot/episode-title/episode-plot in spanish for example or your native speaking language but want to use the title of the movie or tvshow in english for english movies, or the title on the native language of the movie (spanish, french, german, etc). With the current setting you get absolutes, english: everything english, spanish: everything spanish. And would be nice to apply this language options to images too. I scrape my data with TMM before adding it to emby to have this type of settings, but I would be really good if emby could handle some of this variables. Update: Also, give the option for "None" to skip scraping for this field and "NFO Only" as @picotrain1 suggested.

This is interesting, and it highlights a dilemma for me (though I know there may be no answer to my dilemma). Here's a use case: I love Emby, use it constantly, and have become a big promoter on other forums, recommended Emby to lots of new users. I have learned to appreciate decisions made by the developers as I have gotten deeper into it. (And I've even been part of calling @ebr and @Luke developer Gods on the Plex forums!) But there is one big thing missing for me. I have a 4,000 film library from the earliest silent era through the bright heyday of Hollywood in the Thirties, the remarkable refugee-fueled Forties, and on into the great independent films of the Seventies through today. Emby only collects and displays in its metadata the Director among the crew, and not, in particular, the writer(s). This makes it difficult to follow a particular writer or at least as important writer-director (who wrote but didn't direct some films) across their career and the evolution of the movie world. (Examples: Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder, Francis Ford Coppola.) This has been mentioned by others in Emby forums before, and the general response has been that (at least some think) adding the Writer isn't worth the additional data space or sorting time. [In prior Emby builds Writer used to be standard captured but was removed as bloaty; my wish is to see it implemented as an optional toggle, rather than impose it on everyone.] So, I would be perfectly willing to pay a bounty to get optional automatic scraping of movie Writer metadata. I'd feel I wasn't imposing my wishes on the Emby community or unfairly demanding that a minority wish is catered for. On the other hand, I get that in a limited developer world, with the need for quality control, that might not be good. That's my dilemma.

It would be great to be able to configure channel groups in LiveTV, which can be selected in the guide view (maybe as tabs) so that we can more quickly navigate to preferred channels using the d-pad. Perhaps start with Favorites by default, but be able to add custom groups (similar to collections) which we can add channels to (Network, Premium, Basic Cable, Kids, News etc.).

Would it be difficult to implement a feature to allow transcribing a video podcast to audio-only, for listening on my phone? If a podcast has both audio-only and video formats, I typically choose the video version for archival purposes. When downloading these to my phone, it would be nice if I could choose 'audio only' under the transcribing quality, so I could continue listening with my screen off. I'm sure this would not be a widely used feature, but if it would be trivial to add it would be cool to have.

I was thinking it would be kind of cool to be able to mark a movie as "Featured" and have it show up on the home page. So when looking at the movie synopsis (as the admin) you could mark it as featured, similar to the "watched" option. I'm not sure how complex this would be, but it would be cool - so that during the Easter season for example, I could have a featured section that showcases that specific content. Thanks for reading!

Hello again. I decieded to buy emby for fire tv. I bought it already and im happy with it. But there is one thing im actually missing. I have a movie collection created. The screen is full of pictures from the movies to choose them from there. Is it possible to change the layout from pictures to title text of the movies only? Thanks. Regards. Fry

Two days ago (8th February) I was watching a series, streaming from my phone (Android) to my chromecast, and everything was as it used to be. Yesterday however, for no apparent reason to me, it wasn't working properly. I can still stream from either my phone or computer to the chromecast without any issues but the subtitles are very small and when I hit the stop button the image doesn't revert back to show the information about the episode. Instead it's just black. The first image shows how it looks like if I go to an episode on my phone. The second image is how it looks like when I hit the stop button. Before, the image on the screen would revert back and look like the first picture. I have tried to restart both the chromecast and the server but it didn't do anything. I have also tested to play episodes that has either SRT or SUBRIP subtitles, but the issue remains. I did however notice today that the ffmpeg logs looks different. However, no logs show up when I play "Raised by Wolves". The logs are from "Modern family". Another thing I have noticed is that when I start a new episode or movie, there used to be a bar at the bottom of the screen with an image of the cover of the movie or series in the bottom left corner and the name of the movie or episode, but that doesn't show up anymore either. I have attached one ffmpeg log from each day (8th, 9th and 10th) from the same series (Modern Family) and the embyserver log from today and one from the 8th. ffmpeg-remux-22ca7089-6adb-48f0-be68-307f851c0a4c_1.txt ffmpeg-transcode-940348bc-25ae-4d70-b300-55a9548148d8_1.txt ffmpeg-remux-c7b74576-a462-4ac0-be2b-f5cd54ee6a7c_1.txt embyserver.txt embyserver-63779961600.txt

Yes it is.

Very common issue with cartoons as they are split on all provider by together and mixed in IMDB Example on IMDB "The Bullwinkle Show" Jet Fuel Formula/Bullwinkle's Ride or Goodbye, Dollink (TV Episode 1959) - IMDb episode 1 But TVDB and TMDB split them into S01E01 and S01E05 The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show - Rocky & Bullwinkle - Jet Fuel Formula (1) - Jet Fuel Formula - TheTVDB.com episode 1 The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show - Rocky & Bullwinkle - Jet Fuel Formula (2) - Bullwinkle's Ride or Goodbye, Dollink - TheTVDB.com episode 5 There are dozens of topics on this issue, so if your media is these merged mixed season/episode format there is no clean way to do this.

The idea looks quite appealing and doing that wouldnt take more than 10min based on the Matrix Plugin. Althought there are some caveats. You know there is no Webhook standard, rfc or spec. Everybody who does Webhooks does them a bit different. Normally it is a post request with a json payload. But it already starts with the naming of the Key:Value pairs. As long as you parse it yourself eg with NodeRed that does not matter. but you simply cannot do a plugin that is compatible with every Messenger that claims to use Webhooks. Also like i stated many time here, the Emby Notification Framework is very limited. For each scan it gives you only 10 Names or i thin 6 Names + Descriptions back. If you add 100 Movies at once you loos 90 or 94 entries. Also there are no more info, only Name (Title) and Description. The better way would be that the Emby Dev's add a New Content Webhook, okay that would have the caveat that only paying members would have access to but the possibilities would be enormous. If you like that idea reply to the following post to show some love to it, so it don't dissappears in the New Feature Friendzone like so many other good ideas. Maybe we also would get an ETA for that

I will make the fixes.

Same issue for me : Subtitles appearance ignored by chromecast Black screen with subtitles when video stops I have tried without success : Updating emby from 4.7.0 to 4.7.23-beta Cast from my phone ( android ) Cast from my computer ( chrome ) If this help : Issue started : Between 7th and 8th February. Chromecast : "Chromecast with Google TV"

Lend your support here:

Je rejoins Tandhruil dans son analyse. Il s'agit clairement un problème avec le certificat. De deux chose l'une : - Soit tu montes un reverse proxy sur ton serveur Windows ( voir doc ci-dessous, j'ai testé et ça marche très bien). L'avantage est que tu peux avoir un certificat Let's Encrypt qui se génèrera tout seul, pris en charge par la plupart des matériel Android. - Soit il te faut régénérer ton certificat. Le soucis, c'est quand tu le fais en auto-signé, par mesure de sécurité certains matériels ne le prendront pas en charge. Autre chose : * Si tu passes par le port 443 en externe, c'est que tu dois surement avoir un reverse proxy (sinon je n'en vois pas l'intérêt). Ce qui implique une redirection du port 80 vers le 443. Si tel est le cas, tes client emby doivent être configurer juste avec l'url pointant vers on serveur, sans le port. Sinon, tu auras les problèmes que tu décris. * Si tu utilises un certificats SSL que tu convertis en emby.pfx par exemple, ne passes pas par le port 443, mais par le port 8920 uniquement. * Si tu n'as pas de reverse proxy et que tu rediriges ton port 443 vers le 8920, tes clients doivent être configurer sous la forme https://monserver.emby sans numéro de port, sinon tu auras le problème que tu décris.

Hi, yes we're looking into this. Thanks.

Hi, I'm not sure how you could check for conflicts ol without trying to install. Let us know how you get on. Thanks.

It gets the job done haha Forgive me if this is what you are already proposing and I'm just too tired to realize lol (I really should head to bed!) I think what would help in my specific case (I don't think libraries as large are mine are terribly common let alone the people trying to use intro skip on such a size... ) is being able to pick which library to load? Given that it loads perfectly when not trying to stuff everything down it's throat all at once So in my mind the flow would be something along the lines of: - Load activity/advanced page - It probably defaults to the first library in the list of tv shows libraries available, I guess based alphabetically I guess? So for me, it would default to loading "Anime", then the Library dropdown would list Anime, Children, TV - Just above or next to the current "TV Show" dropdown list, have a "Library" dropdown to let us load a specific library so the layout of the activity page might look like - Select Library | Select TV Show | Select Season It's just getting choked up on the amount of series so I believe if something like that is possible, it would be perfect No idea if that's a viable option but throwing it out there! You know better than I so I'll check back in the morning and see what you come up with!

It surely is. The Godfather (1972).nfo

J'ai eu un problème de connexion avec une box androidTV, c'était à cause des certificats en cache du serveurs Emby qui ne s'étaient pas mis à jour. En gros je générais à chaque fois un fichier emby.pfx, comme le nom ne changeait pas, emby ne mettait pas à jour le certificat en cache.

OK, Rebuilt the plugin with logic to ignore http where the image exists on the server when running fix or remove placeholders & report a crash if it happens. Rather than crash and not update the webpage. Added the report below since the last build Build attached. Stable for the stable server, the beta is for the .23 beta server if you run the beta program server. Is the stupid gray actor images thing an image or embys card? Can you run this from the reports tab If you cannot see reports, click the last tab and they will scroll. Also get the ID of a person that has the stupid grey card from the browser ie "/web/index.html#!/item?id=4365&" then from with LOGS you will have this file, find the ID of the Actor , and send me the image from your drive and this log with the checksum. zip it and upload it or pm it to me. If you cannot do this the please screenshot it so at least I know what it looks like. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.

Right the items in the drop-down are being scanned. Series added to the list will be ignored. We will store data per season. After the season has been processed the memory is freed for garbage collection, and the data is saved to the database. We do however (although it is about to change as we integrate with emby) store every comparison we make (which is every episode compared to every episode... Minus itself), in memory. We also gradually chunk out the finger print binaries in to memory as well.

This right here. This is what we have dubbed the "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" problem. Mr. Rogers had an entire series worth of shows in only one season. This is going to cause paging issues because we hold results in memory, and would be impossible to run detection on, in the current state of the plugin. O(229^2) = system crash! We are going to have to do a record check before attempting to process series, and make sure we are not about to process a series lime this. From there we'll have to create pseudo seasons in order to get through the series. If you leave that series in the exclude list (for now), and make sure that your concurrent detection settings (under advanced settings) is set to 4 (or on your big machine, you could override by typing a value in, no higher then 6). See if you are able to detect more of your library. Any other series that have more then 25 episodes in one season shoukd be left in the exclude list, untill we can write appropriate code to handle them. I'll look through the logs (thank you for that), and I will start figuring out the Mr Rogers problem right away.

So, I was actually pouring through the recent log. It seems that the detection gets progressively slower. It'll start at ~1000ms. But when I just killed the Emby instance, it was up to ~32,000ms. Not sure if that's a cause, or a symptom, lol. Just to clarify, in the advanced screen, the stuff in the dropdown list is the stuff being scanned, correct? And the scrolling list towards the bottom is the stuff being skipped? The language is a little ambiguous. One show I had to set up to not scan is Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. It's listed as 1 season with 229 episodes. When it tanked this time it was scanning Detroiters, Dexter, and DC Legends of Tomorrow. None of which have very large seasons. I had it set to scan 4 series at a time, but have now lowered it to just 1 to see how it does. I'll shoot you a PM real quick.

Installed WinSCP and problem solved. Thanks a lot my friend!

I installed Emby via USB on my Samsung and it works great, been using it on my Samsung TV for a few years now. (also in NZ)

Thanks for the quick response!

Enable SSH on the NAS and then connect using Terminal or WinSCP

Very nice to see the progress here and the responsiveness of the devs. Not like "Brand P"!

Since we're discussing minor cosmetic issues...here's another... I'm running 1.87.

Running emby on a qnap nas.

Okay, good. I think I have finally chased this down...

So width and height are transposed in the report, which would upset it I guess. Paul

In the last hour or so, I have experimented a bit with a few scenarios, specifically with allowing Roku's screensaver to come on and then coming out of the screensaver and back to Emby. All scenarios that engaged the screensaver had it running for less than one minute before attempting to return to Emby. (Only Scenario 3 did not engage screensaver.) Scenario 1 = Sitting on main Emby screen immediately after login, no media selected; screensaver turns on; button push returns to main Emby screen and allows standard navigation. Successful operation after screensaver. Scenario 2 = Sitting on series page for Show 1; screensaver turns on; button push results in freeze and Roku restart. Scenario 3 = Show 2, Episode 1 started; plays for a minute; push of back button returns to episode page and allows continued navigation of system. Screensaver not engaged at any point in this Scenario. Scenario 4 = Show 2, Episode 1 started (same episode as Scenario 3); plays for a minute and then playback paused; screensaver turns on (NOTE: this screensaver during playback pause is a DIFFERENT screensaver than every other screensaver that turns on for some reason); button push clears screensaver and returns to paused playback screen; pushing play allows playback of episode to continue; trying to exit episode with back button results in freeze and Roku restart. Scenario 5 = Movie 1; sitting on movie page; screensaver turns on; button push clears screensaver and returns to movie page and allows standard navigation after. Scenario 6 = Show 3, Episode 1; sitting on episode page; screensaver turns on; button push results in freeze and Roku restart. Scenario 7 = Music album; sitting on album page; screensaver turns on; button push results in freeze and Roku restart. Hopefully those scenarios can help in testing to find a fix. For now, I'm going to disable the screensaver on my Roku, and I assume I will not run into this issue with it disabled, but I will update further if that proves to be a false hypothesis. -Roh

HI, as the help text says, saving artwork next to your media will put them into a more permanent place for safe keeping and easy editing. Does that answer your question?

Nope, you can put all drives in a PC running Ubuntu Linux and mount them. I've actually done this myself just as a test. I then wrote about 10TB to the array, unmounted it. Put drives back in 920+ and boom, mounted back in Synology with the new info.

Hello I understand that actors are scrapped from tvdb and often in tvdb episodes doesnt contains series level actors. That's ok But i would suggest and improvement for the client apps. As you know during an episode playing we can go down and go see the actors (during the play) but here is shown only the episode actors. So if during a play we are wondering something about the name of an actor we have to stop the play and go on serie level to see the actors. it would be good to have displayed in the client app during a play firstly the episode actors and next the show level actors. (without messing the metadata i mean) regards

There is another option I would like to see in relation to speed is to set a default speed so you dont have to keep changing it back

I see this was posted awhile ago is there any updates at all about when/if this will be implemented

Hi, yes we can.

Luke, It would still be nice as an option. With WMC I have a PRIMETIME Channel group that only shows major networks and fits on one page without the need to scroll. (Big deal in WMC layout). I also have a CLASSICS Channel group that just pulls together the classic TV and Movie channels. It is nice to have these custom separate groupings that a favorite or frequently watched default will not always cover.
