As the intro skip capabilities move forward, please, everyone, keep in mind that the current version was still considered beta, and that means that with newer versions, comes changes. Changes to where files are stored, named, etc... This will most likely mean that tasks would have to be rerun, and some beta elements will have to be manually removed in the future. I am pleased that we have had such positive feedback on the project. So much time went into it... like... years of development. Literally years.... An entire global pandemic worth of programming and testing. ... And possibly the longest form thread ever created on emby.media. -chef

Plex has finally been able to identify movies with Dolby Vision, so hopefully Emby can now do the same. This is currently working on the web version of Plex and has not yet been pushed to clients. See example screenshot.

CSS + Netflix Billboard Clone + Danmaku (bullet chat/moving subtitle comments) + Sync Play with Friends + Full Localization, Windows Desktop Client for example.

It should work with all the above clients - and we have positive tested this ourselves. Please be aware that you only get one 'auto-skip' per 'session' - so if you attempt to 'go back' to the start and try it again (by using the rewind for example) - it will not work. Close the 'session' (go back to the menu) and play it again if you want to see it auto-skip - you can of course manually jump to just 'before' the skip part if you want to quickly test - or just let it play. If it fails to do so, then please turn on debug logging - and send me a fresh log as @chef and I have spent a lot of time ensuring the logs are verbose to tell us what's going on.

That gets nearly everyone the first time!

I've seen a few posts where people say they only use the composers tag for classical music genre. So, you're saying it can't populate writers unless someone choses to use composers (and there isn't one) so it uses writers instead? If you can't fill writers without selecting to use composers first, then I'm not sure it would harm anyone. This request makes sense to me if that's the case. However, someone is bound to complain either way because they won't be aware they already have music with the writer tag that magically got there.

Disregard! This was a docker/portainer issue. I had neglected to update the volume mappings when I re-built my RAID. Doing so restored my previous server version (as the config was still there) and let me add/edit my libraries.

ah, sorry to mislead you. My web site is with Weebly but my domain is registered with 123-Reg so I have to set up my DNS records with them.

I do see what you mean, thanks As this plugin is being developed, and to be fair it wasnt even meant to be released yet (and its not even the same one as this thread started, I abandoned that one). Things are getting moved about and redesigned. The plugin you have has 12 or 13 tabs. I have already condesed that down to 10, and still working to improve stuff. The current version doesnt support the scrapers yet as even that area is being redesigned/coded. It is essentially a prototype, rough and ready, being moulded into something useful. I'll update as soon as I can.

Thanks, and I usually use betas as well, but didn't with Emby. More of an oversight. Lol. I'll try that and hopefully it resolves the issue. Thanks soo much for your help.

Using an A record because I also have a 'normal' web site with a hosting provider and the normal www DNS records point to that. So a created the cert for media.<my domain> and pointed the A record for that to my Emby server WAN IP

Bang on. Putting in the domain name rather than the IP address gets me through on a secure connection. So far, so great. So now I'm moving on to why I needed SSL in the first place: the Alexa Emby skill insisted on one. Now to try getting that working

Actually -re reading this - why are you creating a DNS A record on your local DNS for the WAN address ? Your DNS should be using public DNS servers to resolve the name - this should not be done internally. I can resolve the above FQDN fine as your ISP/Registrar would have created it for you when they created the domain. Maybe this is confusing things. edit - to note - this WAN port is OPEN on 8920

Emby runs perfectly on my Pixel phone with CalyxOS and microG, I've been using it for a couple of months. If you're looking to free yourself from Google's spyware or escape Apple's closed ecosystem, I suggest you check into using a de-googled Android OS. The only feature I found not working is casting to a Chromecast due to not having Google's supporting framework installed.

Connecting via WANIP is going to fail as the cert is not for an IP address, correct? I know mine fails and I get "NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID".

with v3 - the next version, yes, no ETA I'm afraid - but on this current beta, no - the only option is to use auto-skip or manual via chapters.

just embyserver.log - but ensure debug logging is on when you tried otherwise the info will be limited. Thanks. edit - also make sure those other clients are using the same user account as the one that works - or if not, add those users to the Introskip users that can use Autoskip..

Thanks for helping me patiently, it worked. Your plugin is awesome.

It should work on Android tv out of the box. That is the client I am using. The only clients we seemed to have a real problem with was some apple products, and some Roku tvs. What seems to be the issue?

Don't edit the rule. Click the icon on the left side of that rule's row. Look at the screenshots here, 'selecting a rule icon' in particular:

Then any theme you manually add will be uploaded automatically, and you'll see those under "Upload filters" once they do.

Gotcha

Yup auto skip is dope. Also, is there any plan to support emby theatre.

So the good news is it isn’t Emby. When I converted the file it appears to have encoded wrong. Apologies.

User working again. Had user go to the Emby connect site and reset her password. I then added her user name into the (Optiona(Optional) Emby Connect username or email address: field.

Curious if there are plans to be able to set specific folders to play at a certain time of day/week? Like can i set cartoons to play on Saturday mornings, and sitcoms to play in the afternoons, ect? I would love to be able to create my own weekly guide.

I added a small section for checking your current status as well as mentioned the 200/1000 download limits per 24 hour period. Thanks @Happy2Play @GrimReaper

Volume 2 in the disk based version you started with and now will be the backup. Volume 3 is the NVMe disk so you would just copy from 3 to 2. Take a look at this post to see how to use the Task Scheduler to run jobs. You are going to want to do almost exactly the same thing except the data put in "user-defined script" area will be different. The script lines could be different for each person depending how they set it up. You could try these: cp -rv /volume3/EmbyFast/cache/* /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer/cache cp -rv /volume3/EmbyFast/metadata/* /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer/metadata I'd SSH into the NAS and do a "sudo -i" and test each line to make sure it works correctly. If so those are the two lines for your backup task.

To be honest I'm not sure how much read only cache is going to help outside of Emby. Emby won't need it as it's working from NVMe for all practical purposes. It can read movies/shows from disk much faster than it can't send them through the LAN so it won't help much that way. It can read/write to disk faster than you can send it with a NIC or two, so unless you have another app similar to Emby with mucho data or other databases I'd find another use for it. You can always try it as a read cache as it's easy to remove. If you have happen to be using any "download" program that can be installed from the package store, it could be used for that. Glad it's working! Nope, but on my first test I did the 7.1 upgrade afterward and all hell broke loose for me. It wasn't related to the RAM disk in any way but a SYNO file trying to update itself incorrectly on the 7.1 beta so it kept filling up md0 until my system would crash.

Hi guys, I figured it out. I forgot to mention it was a NTFS HDD. When googling as per Mastrmind11 suggestion, I realized about it, made the corresponding change in my mount line and voila. Thanks to both.

Thanks everyone! learned alot here..

Good instructions. As noted before I am very beginner and I was able to get this up and running. Thank you!

You could always use the same disabling that the server management channels screen uses. the api for that is not documented at this point so you could just sniff what the browser does using the browser debugger.

Quick question, or perhaps I missed it... should I upgrade to 7.1 before beginning this? Just had a look at my /dev/md0 and its at 55%. Edit: Nevermind. Just remembered 7.1 is a beta, and I'd rather wait for the public release of 7.1. If I understand, correctly as long as I my /dev/md0 folder is say below 75%, when the public release rolls out, it won't break this configuration?

Sure thing. The code is actually already there for this. It is currently commented out. We can certainly put that into auto-skip.

Or @Lukecould that be integrated into plugin settings page?

Per url above. @cayars could that url be added to the KB for users to check their status. Global (system) download limit: 200 per 24 hours Detected IP(s): Array Raw IPs: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, xx.xxx.x.xx Detected Country: us BANNED: No User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/98.0.4758.102 Safari/537.36 Edg/98.0.1108.62 Accept Language: en-US,en;q=0.9 FINAL RESULT: Accepting download You are not logged-in on OpenSubtitles.org SYSTEM should count downloads by IP ADDRESS(es) ========================================== List of downloaded subtitles per IP: xx.xx.x.xx for last 24 hours - total 0 Array ( ) You can download 200 subtitles more ==========================================

+1 for this, and it can be enabled or disabled by tpggle to satisfy both audiences.

It's 200/24 hrs.

Hey Embians! Just an early update: Made a lot of initial headway in the past couple of days on the Subsonic API plugin. Worked through a couple of thorny issues. I've barely started implementing the API (I'd only trust ping right now), although getLicense and getAlbumList appear to be working against my own Emby server at least. Authentication probably was the biggest problem because the documentation and the Emby.ApiClient package are unfortunately quite dated. I'd love to contribute to one or both after I have an MVP for the Subsonic API plugin. I know it hasn't been long since I last posted, but since others coding against the API sometimes seem to have issues with authentication, I wanted to at least let ya'lls know that I got it working, although my plugin code is in a very early state and shouldn't even be considered a solid example of Emby plugin best practices, let alone programming best practices. My focus is to get it working in the short term. That being said, authentication works and if you are having API authentication problems feel free to go check out my plugin code. As always, feel free to bring up any requests over at the repo, or questions here. Cheers! Talk soon.

@mickle026 I just want to let you know that it feels like you solve issues and pain thats been arround for year in Emby in such a high speed and with so much interaction with the users. It makes me cry and it makes Emby so much better right now!

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.

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.

Why not Just crate a config into the Android cliente to enable or disable this feature and set the sensibility/activation area instead of remove such usefull feature?

People don't hate the feature, just the fact it was to easy to hit by accident. However they already said it won't come back in the same form to prevent exactly that issue

Please refrain from profanity as this is a family friendly environment. Thanks.

I also miss these handy gestures.

definitely want the brightness back, never cared for the audio, cause like eNES0nsEsK said, got hardware buttons for that part

OK, totally understand you don't want to annoy people with gestures they don't want. Could you have a "Toggle Touch Gestures" option in the mobile app settings? This could default to being off so people don't trip them accidentally. I like idea of a circular gesture to control playback position. It would be good if it functioned like a jog wheel for video editing. Like this, https://www.amazon.com/Contour-Design-Shuttle-Xpress-Multimedia-Controller/dp/B0001DBEKG Although it doesn't need to be that accurate, but could allow quick navigation with a faster gesture, then a more slightly more accurate positioning with a slow gesture. The volume is probably less important to most people because we have easily accessible hardware buttons that can be used. The most useful gesture for me personally would be brightness control. This is tricky to adjust on my Android phone when I'm holding it horizontally and I've started playback I then need to swipe down from the top a few times to get to the brightness slider. Could a two or three fingered vertical swipe be used for this possibly? Anyway, just throwing some ideas around. Thanks for your hard work.
