So basically this. I have TV Shows, Movies, and Anime libraries. For anime; I'd prefer to set the default to Japanese with Subtitles. For movies, English and no subs unless forced. For TV Shows, the same. However, Emby only allows one overall setting this for this, for all libraries, instead of just one. I think it'd be a pretty nice little feature.

Hello, It will be great to have the possibility to exclude a library from the global search. For example the Adult content one. Or at least to be able to exclude a tag from the global search and by this I can tag the entire Adult library as Adult and Adult tag to be globally excluded on search. Imagine what happens when you want to search for "Coffee with Ana" movie and you start typing in the search field "Ana" with little kids near you Thanks!

I don't think it's unreasonable request at all. Why not just improve the playback code to actually check if the file exists in the first place before you attempt to play it ? I'm sure a file existence check is quicker to do/report back than a playback attempt/failure cycle ?

That's the one ! - Thanks @neik

Subsync as an example, I used to use it and it was working near to perfection for me.

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!

I would like to see a search bar added to EPG Mapping. When using a list with 1000 channels it takes 20 times as long to scroll through and search for channels instead of typing in a search bar.

eg https://thetvdb.com/series/the-equalizer watching s00e01, a special which does not form part of the official watching order (I believe) should not add the show to continue watching ribbon, (if avoidable) tested on beta 4.7.0.38 would the devs agree? thanks for considering

I think there's a good chance of it, yes.

OK, the issue is probably this, which is resolved in the upcoming 4.7 release: Thanks.

If you are following the ffmpeg mailing list, you can see that I'm proposing a different solution there. I will submit an appropriate patch when I get to it.

Understand. In that case maybe you can include these patches to the Emby ffmpeg oneday, problem would be easily fixed.

That is just for an actual "stub" item. A normal item that is simply not accessible will fail at playback.

I will ask.

Hi Luke will check the 4:3 fix after work, thanks

Hi there, let's look at an example: Thanks !

Can you find out if that's what happened?

ATV must be doing some kind of check as it hides the Play button unless the movie actually exists. You can still play the trailers then. ET gives you the Play button whether it exists or not.

Thanks kindly for that information, I will just try that

Did quick testing and it did help, make sense not to have 70 Mbps bitrate loaded in advance but wondering if this is related to the TV not been able to handle such heavy task or it's related to the server hardware. Thank you for your support

I’m running on Mac OS .. I don’t think it’s wise to monkey with permissions on any of the folders generated by Mylio, but it’s easy enough to copy the files to a new directory. I suppose that’s the answer - creating a new folder in an existing library & setting up an ‘Automator’ workflow that just copies any new items over to that folder on a schedule. In that scenario I guess there wouldn’t even be a need for this folder sync plugin at all.

Your request specifically said you wanted the button text to reflect the status of the item. That could only be done before the button is pressed.

Right - with you. Thanks.

For a chapter editor you dont need to show lists or pages of items, just one item and its chapters with a way of selecting or searching for an item you want to edit. Think a little like the metedata manager with a tree selector on the left and when you click an item it shows you the items chapters and allows you to edit them. Actually it might be a good idea to have a look at the metedata manager plugin and see if it might be easier to add chapter editing to that, though last time i looked at the metedata manager plugin my brain hurt from all the crazy in there. Edit: Oops i was thinking of the reports plugin not the metedata manager.

Writing and reading in chapter info to the nfo file is not the responsibility of the chapter editor, its the nfo metadata code that needs to do that.

this is not implemented yet, but will work on all clients. I was just using the web interface. thats not a popup... that is me showing you that concept of it working. so i launch the video, the code creates the text on the jpg and then creates a 15s sec video of the slide. it's just i hadn't coded the rest of it to tie in with VP intros. But i have it all working now, albeit not perfect, so a little work to do before a release.

The ability to save any manual edits has always been at the top of the want list for the Plugin - simply because if people manually edit items, they want to be able to re-create that after a system failure, or emby refresh etc. Currently the data is just saved in the dB, but this is of course not easily re-producible. The original file is never updated - that is a very bad idea. My preference would be to store any intro/credit and subsequently manually edited chapter info in the NFO file. ie you just combine the chapter info out the original source file + the NFO file to recreate your full chapters list as and when required. I believe the Core will need to do this anyway - as there needs to be someway to keep manually edited chapter info if using the Core editor (the same way it happens today if you manually edit other data types).

Arrrrrgh I hate you sometimes lol This could be knocked up very quickly i think. There isn't much to it. The problem here lies in if a user updates metadata all the chapter points would be lost unless we save all the chapterpoints in a db and update as task. This is where it starts to grow arms and legs. finishing up some last minute tweaks on VantagePoint. i wanna get on with the MediaInfo plugin, need to shelve recommendations until i finish iridium as that way.... we can dictate how the UI is populated and users interact with it... Far too limited with Emby Core access. and i need to nip on with Iridium.

yea everything just worked with 5 with very little hassle lol

Did you check this? It is a feature

So if i'm understanding this correctly, you have '4K' defined as a genre that you've added to a bunch of movies? If that is the case, and you have chosen 'Genre' as your default landing page for your Films library, then as @Happy2Play suggested, the alpha-picker is not available in that view in the ATV app. If you were to go up a level, and across to the 'Movies' tab (left most) you should see the alpha-picker there if your movies are sorted by 'Name' (which is the very first screenshot in this thread)

Thanks @cayars Yes, it is working perfectly as you and Luke described on that thread. Below is a direct link to your reply on said thread.

Incase any one encountered the same problem There is a patched version of ffmpeg/ffprobe that support long path on windows https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds/releases I test ok with https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds/releases/download/latest/ffmpeg-n5.0-latest-win64-gpl-shared-5.0.zip You can find more information here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/8885

OMG I am so sorry you had to go through that. Glad to see you are better. It is an interesting feature and I am sure in the future it would be implemented eventually. Glad to see u are well Mook

The sorting needs to be by title so I would check that.

Only time filename is used for movies is in a flat structure environment (no movie folders) that I am aware of. So you could have */Lego DC Comics - Super Heroes - The Flash (2018) [tmdbid=504997]/abcdefg.mkv and identified from folder name.

That would be the ultimate workaround as Emby would use id. I only appended folder. 2022-05-10 18:56:02.646 Debug App: Running MovieDbProvider for C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Videos\Movies - DB\Lego DC Comics - Super Heroes - The Flash (2018) [tmdbid=504997]\Lego DC Comics - Super Heroes - The Flash (2018).strm 2022-05-10 18:56:02.646 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/504997?api_key=‌f6bd687ffa63cd282b6ff2c6877f2669‌&append_to_response=casts,releases,images,keywords,trailers&language=en&include_image_language=en,null

I'm pretty sure that that is what we should be working on... Is the editor. We talked about how we would do that, and I'm sure that tomorrow will be dedicated to figuring out the best ways to create an editor without messing a bunch of things up.

I love people here.

I'm sure we could All ready done

Hi there! Because our plugin is editing chapters, and not utilizing the latest updates in emby, it is conflicting with the core implementations. Therefore, the plugin will be blocked from loading in the next beta update. We can change the plugin to not alter chapters and cause these conflicts, and it will load again. But for the time being, the plugin and the core versions do not play nice together, so the plugin will be disabled. We'll get it fix as soon as time allows. Thanks! Ben.

Ok, so I'll try to update the paths. Thanks for all of the help

Hi, this is the total bitrate of the entire output being delivered. (audio + video + subtitles).

Thor Love and Thunder (2022).bluray.disc I don't think ATV does it that way. I use stub files mainly so I have a place holder where I can put my ripped version when it arrives, and still watch the trailer now. ATV app hides the play button. I prefer this way for how I use them, but I understand I'm not using it the way it was originally intended. standard Android app does pop up the "insert disc" message which is automatic

So I thought I'd do a quick experiment - to try and mirror the site below for 4K > 1080p Transcode for Emby & Intel UHD 770 https://www.elpamsoft.com/?p=Plex-Hardware-Transcoding - Video : 68Mbit/sec HEVC 4K Remux (The Godfather - Just happens to be 68Mbit/sec) > 10Mbit/sec h264 1080p - Clients - Various but all forced to 10Mbit/sec - Emby - 4.6.7.0 - Stable Release - Source was local SATA Disk (JBOD) - Audio - AC3 (so direct play/no transcoding required) - No tonemapping (turned off) - No THROTTLE - ie simultaneous continuous transcodes - SINGLE transcode performance = 180 fps. Results - I got to 7 streams before I ran out of clients - but transcoding fps was getting very close to 25 - so probably very close to the limit anyway. GPU - it hit 100% '3D' on the first stream, so not 100% sure what that graph shows - the key thing is memory. Each 4K stream takes about 1.1 GB - so for the 7 streams, I'm up to 7.5GB of memory, but have plenty to play with. I have 64GB, but max here is 32GB. CPU load is low @ 13% overall. With Throttle turned ON (ie transcoding as required to fill the buffer), then it's possible that another 1 or maybe 2 streams can be utilised but of course if the fps drops below 24 then the buffer is no longer being maintained. This is 7 x 68Mbit/sec streams - so nearly 500 Mbit/sec worth of transcoding ! Certainly not bad for an integrated GPU To note - tone mapping knocks down the single stream performance to 140 fps - so ~ 6 streams with tone mapping. @softworkz - FYI

Even better - on the UHD770 testing I did, I had 10 x 4K Remux > 1080p transcodes going with tonemapping - so I think you'll have no issues at all with the proposed workloads.

I purchased Emby many years ago on what looked like many great promises on improvements, such as this. But I'm beginning to regret paying for this when it seems like nothing new has been added. Updates are very sparse.

So you are also part of the official emby team but you need to create plugins all by yourself without the rest of the emby team behind you? Actually it's shameful that the best plugin of the year (your intro skip plugin) was not made by the official developers and you can watch feature requests go by for years and never get implemented. Luke's answers when you ask for a status seem like they are pre-programmed sentences that he has bound to keys on his keyboard. I'm surprised there are no memes about this yet. Security related stuff is not done either. User permission revamp should have been implemented long ago as he always announces. As well as many other things that have been open for years, enough demand is there but no one seems to be interested. You have to help yourself out with powershell scripts and the like (sometimes not even 20 lines) that solve the whole request. It is not always as much work as we are led to believe here.

The issue is with ffprobe - Both Windows and Emby and handling your long paths ok (or they would not be in the database).

I found this searching for the exact issue OP has. I have a large? library of ~25k songs and genre > artist - album is how I slice it up on every other music platform. Emby is seriously lacking in customization here, nevermind that it's the only music software I've encountered that trips up on vertical separators (|) in genre names and splits them.
