Oh I read your complaint and I'm sure you have over 50 copies of everything on your server. Have a good day.

You do realize the reason it was pulled was because someone reported people are sharing their media with over 50 people like yourself?

Here is my collection of about 50 pre-rolls for Emby: https://prerolls.me/platform/emby/

LOL.. I'm guessing your the reason for Emby getting pulled from the stores in the first place!

Personally I've seen no disruption on my Sony Android TV to date. As for compensation it seems like they are doing there best to fix this, plus giving extra weeks of trail for new users. Let's see how this pans out before we start slinging mud.

Hey this is very exciting! I think it should most likely fix some issues @GiGo! Now when you have an existing item,, you can select the button. You then get this dialog, which has been altered slightly from before. You can press "OK" in order to sort it... ...or you now have the "Identify" option available. Clicking "Identify, will bring up the "fileorganizer" page. Great, now you should be able to fix any last minute information. It doesn't show the location there in my screen shot, but once you select the series, it shows up! I'm just going to test some more, and then I'll build a version.

It isn't overkill. It is the only android device that supports exactly what you want.

managed a bit more on the Details page. Pretty happy with it so far OVERVIEW CAST CHAPTERS - need to sort the times but nearly there SIMILAR MOVIES

I would love the option to store Emby's database in MySQL - I have a setup that serves around 30 people and I feel that there would be real performance gains by using a proper relational backend over SQLite (I'm presuming). On top of this it would make life easier for me when reporting on watched status a cross users.

Is there currently an option to have the server/API use an anti-spoiler description on un-watched episodes and movies? Ideally for each Emby user there would be an option called "Hide plot for unwatched items" that could be enabled. Then for unwatched episodes/movies the you would just dummy text for the description/plot, such as "Hidden to prevent spoilers"

It will be in an upcoming update to the TV app. Thanks.

That file organizer JavaScript is a real pain in the butt. I've got to figure that out. It is still not overwriting the target folder. It changes back somewhere. The code can get tangled really easily between auto detecting episodes and the identification methods. I swear I'm not breaking it on purpose .

at least... at least... at least... at least... I couldn't find a way to install 5.18 and tbh i'm done messing around on driver + kernel forums. It's an extremely time intensive/emotionally draining experience with it all too often leading to false hope. Scientists predict that the density of i965 kernel/driver related forums is denser than all observable black holes in the known universe... I'm going to return for a refund what would have been an absolute beast of a mini pc (https://store.minisforum.com/products/th50) since it's got 96 EUs on the iGPU and is the highest spec 11th gen i5 mobile processor. However, it seems that it's going to be a very very long time time before 5.18 kernel makes it onto the official testing/stable branches and I paid too much for a mini-PC to justify anything that simply doesn't work out the box with Debian / Ubuntu. Anyway, @Luke, @softworkz @Q-Droid thank you guys for your help, really really appreciate it. On the plus side, I did learn a lot about drivers, kernels and system logs/tools, and I think i qualify to wear one of those t-shirts that say "I re-compiled the Linux Kernel" (although it did brick my system on reboot when i tried... but no need to mention that part ) Thanks again!

I thought I'd try on the Samsung TV and it appeared to work fine, though I only tried a few films. TrueNAS, as you'll know, is funny with permissions, I had to fiddle a little while to get it working reliably.

Well, that is an awesome work and a beautifull high level theme! It should certainly be included in the next 4.7 release ! In fact, with the massive work the devs are doing on the beta plus such stunning visual, the next release could be directly name 5.0!

We really need to see the MediaInfo to confirm - it may be a number of things - DV Profile, Container - MP4, MKV etc (LG won't like DV in an MKV), Audio streams (as SamEs has said..) DV is a complicated 'format' and has caused no end of issues on shall we say unoriginal formats - it's certainly possible, but the chances of it just playing on default settings on the average setup is a lucky dip ..

It appears that you need 5.18-rc1 at least..

Hi. Never mind as I think we've discovered this issue. Thanks.

will do!

That is what is happening now. It is playing as 5.1 - there is just no information in the surround channels. 04-08 09:43:02.609 9189 9189 D EventLogger: MediaCodecAudioRenderer [ 04-08 09:43:02.609 9189 9189 D EventLogger: Group:0, adaptive_supported=N/A [ 04-08 09:43:02.609 9189 9189 D EventLogger: [X] Track:0, id=2, mimeType=audio/ac3, channels=6, sample_rate=48000, language=und, supported=YES 04-08 09:43:02.609 9189 9189 D EventLogger: ]

Can confirm, got this error, too.

This theme should be official and be on android, appletv, etc apps. @Luke

You can add that domain as an exception i guess to ABP whitelist the ip

Yea I'll disable it for Emby and report back. Thanks EDIT: Worked like a charm. Thanks

Just as a test can you disable Adblock which i saw in your plugins as some images seemed to get blocked with ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT This error is normally down to ABP, may not solve any issue but be interesting to see if the same problem occurs

Hi. While that is all technically really cool, for what purpose in a personal media server used by just you and your family?

Oh, yes. That is beta server. Okay give me a moment to try my beta instance, so I can fix this.

Hi. The Fire and Chromecast run the same app as your Shield so they will work. Thanks.

Once you enable Debug options, you can find "Send Logs" option in dropdown either on Home Screen (select your user top-right) or in OSD during playback (select Cog icon).

Thats interesting. I could append mixed content folders to the bottom of the location list for both tv, and movies. It makes sense to do that because mixed content would have a both media types in it. I will try to do that.

I have been supporting this app buying the yearly plan so i hope we get compensated for this.

Those extra streams are just MJPEG, which are actually just images (jpg's) - posters etc - you can safely delete those and the remux using the script will remove them anyway as we have not asked to copy them. They take a tiny amount of space - the same as a normal poster.jpg. Yes that track has two -EAC3's as you probably ran the script on the same file twice - each time you run the script, it will ADD another EAC3 track from the 1st Audio track. So if you ran it again on this file, it would have 3 EAC3 tracks Just delete the EAC3 file and re-convert from the original as each generation of conversion from the eac3 copy (as that is now the first track) will reduce the quality. EAC3 is lossy Audio, ie compressed and only has 5.1 channels - so 1536k is MORE than sufficient. You can go more if you like (just change the -b:a 1536k in the script to what you like, but it will be a waste of storage as you will not be able to tell the difference - infact, personally I would lower to 768k as e-ac3 compression is far better than ac3 - thus you do not need 1536.. but your call.

Over the air, cable, etc. You can use it with iptv, you just have to find the closest channel lineup to the list of channels in your iptv, and then you'll most likely have to manually map. So you can use it, it's just that that's not what it was designed for.

Emby Guide Data is not really built for iptv. You could try picking a cable option, and then of course, you'll need to manually map whatever channels do happen to match up with both the guide data and m3u tuner. But if the m3u is providing it's own xml then you're better off using that. You said they are?

Thank you for your help

I think I know what you mean, but this would rather require a different database model instead of a different database engine.

you prob cant the easiest would be to look at the config xml for it, it would have the user name/trakt config for each user.

Hi, not yet, but more server-side control over this is planned for future updates. Thanks.

I just have to globalize the the UI so our friend @TheUrbanXplorer, and other non English friends, have appropriate text to read.

Very EXCITED to test this out, will save me SO SO much time! Thank you!

The future is never the present. But a community member has provided a method in the PAST "July 8, 2021".

Cool thanks @Ninko, I'll see what I can find, I plan to spend some time on it this weekend. Hey @thisismytrial No need to worry about donations... just pay it forward I'll see what I can do Hey @Tastey I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't if you access it via the web client.

The Amazon 4K max devices are pretty amazing for the money. They play DV and even have AV1 support in hardware. The only thing they don't do (like most other boxes these days) is DTS .. If you just want to 'play' then you can certainly build your own, but if you just want it to 'work' out the box (and you value your time/sanity more than saving a few bucks..), then the mainstream box's have the best compatibility & support - nvidia shield pro & Amazon 4K sticks. I *think* some of the high end Roku's can also be put in this 'just work' category but I have no experience of these. Maybe ask in the Forum Roku client thread.

Okay, so the only reason we have stayed silent on the details until now is because we think that our users complaining to Google about the issue may only make matters worse. So, please, do not complain directly to Google. Let us deal with this through proper channels. I have had discussions related to both our device limits and certain features that we feel cater directly to only the illegal use of our platform with many users and stated how the store operators have all the power. We can be removed at a whim by any of them. Many of you have argued with me that that is a silly concern. I've also pointed out how the stores don't fully understand what we are and, in many cases, just don't care to. The net of the current situation is that someone was discovered using our platform to distribute content illegally. The owner of the content reported our app as violating their copyright and Google immediately suspended us. No matter that we are not responsible for this nor does our app actually provide any content. With the very vague understanding of these details by the people in charge, the mere hint of anything "off" is enough. We have recourse, supposedly, but they have a rather long time to respond to it. We should be nearing the end of that time and will, hopefully, be re-instated soon. If not, we'll have to see what our next steps are to prove to them that our app is not hosting this content. I'll re-iterate - a bunch of our users complaining will likely just make matters worse so please do not do that. We will let you know when we have any more information. Google has been completely silent for almost two weeks now. Thanks.

I am not aware of any Android boxes that support all the goodies that you describe, Except the Nvidia Shield. However, IF you JUST need an inexpensive device to play your local content only, then any of the low cost Amlogic boxes running CoreELEC will give you what you want. It will play all the video and audio codecs that are available (except Dolby Vision), with automatic framerate and resolution switching. Pair that with Quickmic's Emby next-gen addon and you have a sub $50 media power house.

Well we're not sure yet if this will be part of the 4.7 release or a 4.7.x follow-up, but this will be coming very soon to Emby Server and Emby apps:

Hi guys and thanks for your kind feedback Back again with a new update for the latest beta with new stuff and fixes for problem like with the OSD chapter thumbnail and things I didn't even know about (thanks @CassTG). I've also added support for the buttons for Info and Chapters, see screens. The new css can be found in the main post and it is called "style-EmbyBeta-v2.txt" Here are som random images showing it off in action:

Speaking of which, Chapters make use of our thumbnail graphics as well with their own set of information and use of graphics. The above screenshot shows the use of Thumbnail graphics in our Chapter selector available from the easy to use OSD menu. This screen demonstrates how easy it is to view the Name, Starting Time as well as Thumbnail showing the action taking place at the start of the Chapter. Improvement to Audio On Screen Display (OSD) You can now toggle the play queue on and off, allowing you to choose between seeing the list, or just the artwork. This change makes room for additional space needed for a new user requested feature that is quite popular. New Use of Graphics Elements This release of Emby for Windows Store uses additional graphical elements in subtle ways that sure to please. It still has the classy interface you've come to love but uses additional graphics in a modest manner giving it an elegant and refined look.
