@CBers Guys i've just dropped a new dll on first post. This should fix everything (he says under baited breath) No Exclude list yet. Lets make sure this is all working well. Please enable debug logging. Version has changed to 0.0.1.4 so we can increment releases Cheers fellas and Please TRY to break it - do your worst - mwahahahhahahaha

Don't purchase Emby Premiere from anyone other than Emby There are some unscrupulous individuals out there selling Emby Premiere keys through Ebay or other such marketplaces in other countries. ALL of these are a scam and you will eventually lose whatever money you pay them and not have a working key. The only way to purchase Emby Premiere is directly through our web site or through one of our official apps (Android or Apple). Please help us stop these people by reporting any listings you see by sending a direct message to "ebr" and don't get taken by one of them. Thanks! View the full article

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Everything reset and updated. Including the 5 or 6 Imax DTS:X movies I manually changed an hour ago

Hit the "loose nut" between the laptop and chair with one of these a couple times. Just fix it right up

Things look good to me, HDR->SDR is still doing it's thing, but the movies, that are done look fine. Great work guys! Thank you very much.

Looking good ... now... if we can just stop that Frosty fella from making up these weird and wonderful codec combinations .. then we might be onto a winner ...

Ok fellas Version 0.0.1.6 up on the first post Good luck.... i really just wanna hear great things now..... (i'm a broken man lol ) Cheers

tracked down the problem.... the issue was the bit inbetween the chair and the laptop. Just testing the fix now.... be about 10mins

Shows up and working correctly on my Linux systems as well

Working on this now, me and rich picked it up also. Trying to reset them doesn't reset them either. Standby we are nearly there

If you have the plug-in write the credit location chapter, then the beta Android TV app will use that as the time to display the "Up next" panel. This is only in that app beta at this point.

It would be great if we could turn off the Rotten Tomatoes score. I don't agree with their scores ever and have no need to see them on the screen.

Request No. 1: Implement Metascore rating for movies, from Metacritic.com, in Emby. OMDb api provides this information. Request No. 2: Also, fix an option in settings to enable or disable a ratings source according to the user's choice.

Since more and more users asked for it, I'm glad to announce native Emby server support for Yatse. Full library sync, PVR, Offline media sync, transcoding, Chromecast are all supported. Website: https://yatse.tv App link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.leetzone.android.yatsewidgetfree

Hey so the whole verbage of "Delete" content when downloaded to a device is scary (and potentially misleading) in that it makes me worry it is also _deleting it from the server_. And I think it would be more effective to instead have "Remove from this device" as the language used. Can we get this verbiage changed at some point please?

New items should always appear no matter if Kodi is running. Next time this happens, send me a kodi.log (before you restart Kodi) and keep in mind what content (Movie name etc) was not synced. I assume the skin just didn't refresh but it was synced.

@quickmic to be clear, what is the expected behavior with items refreshing? Sometimes new items don't appear until I exit and restart. Are items supposed to update dynamically or should we use Update Library?

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/109149-2075-end-credit-feedback/ .. tested and working @chef ..

This should have been captured as the width falls within this range - it should be titled as 4K or UHD ? if (Convert.ToInt32(typeInfo.Width) >= 1921 && Convert.ToInt32(typeInfo.Width) <= 3840 ) { resolution = config.ShowAsUHD ? "UHD".Trim() : "4K".Trim();

Smart .. the 'arr's do the same and don't import until it has a non TBA name ...

My pleasure lol

An id10t code then

New version available 7.0.2-build 34 delta changelog: fix vaccum database fix minor startup sync issue fix music sync add tvshowlinkpath fix kodidb file create bug terrible workaround for episode bookmarks due to a massive Kodi bug. The workaround is now even better than Kodi's stock bookmark implementation cause Kodis is completely broken. Also skip intro should work with this "fix". Comment: To benefit form the fixes, full DB reset is required The chapter injection ONLY works if actual content has no native chapters included. Otherwise it would result in double bookmarks on Kodi. Let me know, if I should change it. Currently some "magic" is involved to detect content chapters, separating from Emby bookmarks (set by user or plugins/settings). Removing TVShows content is not too good tested yet. Let me know, if you experience any issues. Several changes are related to music content sync. If you use music/audio content it's mandatory to reset your DB as well. Previous versions had some major bugs which already affects the music DB and it's out of sync even if you experienced no issues.

I turned my PC's BT connection on and set it to discoverable. I then went to the Harmony software and added a new device called Windows Computer. After pairing it to my PC, I am now able to control the PC and ET with the remote control. Pretty strait forward, actually.

i seem to be having the same issue being reported here. log reports success in updating both video and audio (even though i only have video options set) but nothing shown in emby or in file titles. will await new dll

A comma generated ignore list in the UI would be best I think. I know a lot of Synology users don't like to go messing around in directories that aren't in shared folders.

I will use the updated version and do a full debug log and post a follow up here, thanks

Thank you for your support!

It does not.

Details of the file from MediaInfo will tell us the information we need to determine the likely cause - without an example, we are simply guessing. FYI - The LG cannot natively play DV from an MKV (only MP4) and the FireTV Cube Gen 2 can play DV fine - but likely only Profile 5 and 8. As explained above - DV is a minefield for anybody not using direct streaming services or playing UHD disks on UHD Hardware players....

Hi @FrostByte - I thought you may be able to just modify the MKV attributes to add those fields but there is nothing obviously 'different' between a DTS-HD and a DTS-X when using the MKV Header Editor / MKVMerge. So mediainfo CLI must be doing some internal processing to identify it and then create it's own fields (ie nothing to do with the MKV itself). If we did want to have an overwrite rule - then we could just store them in the XML (by EmbyID for example) but it's a lot of extra work for the sake of just modifying it manually in MKVtoolnix.. or wait for MediaInfo to fix it obviously. Thanks for raising another audio codec variant - I thought I had caught all the formats with my collection - but I guess not ! I'll update the Wiki to alert users to this exception. Done

Well so do we, if you set the option to be scheduled task only instead of during both the scan and scheduled task.

while i agree, its weird that it only does it with this app. if i use emby from my computer and cast the same movie to the same tv it sounds fine. i think it is not worth digging into as it is only a couple that give me issues

I don't know if anyone noticed, but mediainfo doesn't detect DTS:X correctly with IMAX enhanced movies and instead sees them as regular DTS-HD MA 7.1. They trigger DTS:X correctly on my soundbar though and the developer of mediainfo says it will require further reverse engineering to fix. Open Mediainfo issue Differentiating DTS:X and DTS-HD MA for IMAX enhanced movies (special variant of DTS:X) · Issue #422 · MediaArea/MediaInfo (github.com) Some of the titles I have which aren't detected by mediainfo correctly are: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Jumanji The Next Level Zombieland Double Tap I've modified the Title for those manually for now. The only other way I can think of fixing this is if @Cheesegeezercreated a list and changed these in the plug-in somehow. Might not be desirable { "@type": "Audio", "@typeorder": "1", "StreamOrder": "1", "ID": "2", "UniqueID": "17437579505096304561", "Format": "DTS", "Format_Commercial_IfAny": "DTS-HD Master Audio", "Format_Settings_Mode": "16", "Format_Settings_Endianness": "Big", "Format_AdditionalFeatures": "XLL", "CodecID": "A_DTS", "Duration": "7390.389000000", "BitRate_Mode": "VBR", "BitRate": "6290852", "Channels": "8", "ChannelPositions": "Front: L C R, Side: L R, Back: L R, LFE", "ChannelLayout": "C L R LFE Lb Rb Lss Rss", "SamplesPerFrame": "512", "SamplingRate": "48000", "SamplingCount": "354738672", "FrameRate": "93.750", "FrameCount": "692849", "BitDepth": "24", "Compression_Mode": "Lossless", "Delay": "0.000", "Delay_Source": "Container", "StreamSize": "5811481160", "StreamSize_Proportion": "0.11402", "Title": "DTS:X 7.1 (Default)", "Language": "en", "Default": "Yes", "Forced": "No" },

It's happening now because the now playing screen has been updated to use the same rendering as other screens. But yes we'll continue to work on improving it and aspect ratio is something that frequently comes up.

Hi, yes it's on the to do list for upcoming updates. Thanks.

Thanks, GrimReaper. You following me around the forums is a bit creepy!

My understanding is that it is not possible to maintain DV while transcoding

Great thank you.

In the next update to the app. Thanks.

I broke MediaInfo with my last update hahahah… but good and proper and I can’t find the bug!! Anyways I’m gonna clean VP right up and get this shiz down bro. we can setup a VP testing PM and invite all you guys in, so we can get it working intuitively and how users feel it should work(for the most part) In order for me to know who wants in please reply and ill get it set up.

When will this button appear in androidTV app?

It sounds like you have something going on with audio/optical output on your TV (unrelated to the app/server). I would suggest testing with the TV's internal speakers as well to verify that it works fine with them and it's just an audio output problem.

Bonjour, le serveur http://s1.pixel4k.vision:80 ne fonctionne plus comment je dois faire svp ? Est ce que vous avez des URL EPG à me suggerer ? PS: j'ai pris un abonnement de 24 mois, et la le serveur ne fonctionne plus et le fournisseur ne répond plus

Plex phones home and won't work without an internet connection. Emby server will work perfectly fine.

Emby Server is now a TrueNAS Scale Official Application. Very few applications ever get to have that privilege! Emby Server has been available in the community catalog. Emby is now forefront on the first screen when entering the Applications Menu. This is where Official Apps are shown. https://emby.media/truenas-scale-server.html To learn more about TrueNAS Scale: https://www.truenas.com/truenas-scale/ Overview of Hardware Packages: https://www.truenas.com/systems-overview/ Customer Support : https://www.ixsystems.com/support/ View the full article

Emby Server 4.7 is Released with Many New Features, Improvements and Fixes Emby Server 4.7 is starting to rollout to different platforms. It's packed with new features, improvements and fixes. We wanted to give you a Preview of some new functionality and changes to Live TV as well as bring to your attention possible post installation configuration changes that might be required. If you currently use one of the following Live TV Plugins (NextPVR, MediaPortal, ServerWMC, TVHeadEnd, TVMosaic, Vu+, DVBLink or DVBViewer) you will need to reconfigure the plugin after it is updated following the 4.7 installation (the server checks for new plugins after a new install). As part of this process the guide will refresh. Please let it completely finish before going to the next step. Once the guide refresh is complete please go to Live TV menu and add a new tuner. You will see an entry for the plugin you are using. See Below: Live TV has many new features as well as a new plugin framework. Our own internal tuners and guide have been moved into plugins using this new framework as well. Setting up a tuner for use in Emby thanks to the new framework allows for a unified architecture, simplifying tuner/source setup. Here's an example of the Add TV Source dialog showing a few of the different choices using the new plugins. Whenever you install a new Live TV Plugin an entry will appear on this dialog. All available tuner types are now managed from one central place simplifying setup and configuration. All tuner types now share a common set of features. This allows 3rd party plugins to work exactly the same as Emby provided sources. This is now possible thanks to a new TV framework Emby uses debuting in this release. This new framework allows for simpler TV plugin creation as the server takes over responsibility of many functions previously needed at the plugin level. This helps to prevent issues related to specific plugin code as Emby server can now handle streams in a very consistent manner regardless of source. This is a WIN/WIN for developers as well as users! Emby Server 4.7 along with it's new TV plugin Framework includes new features and expanded functionality. Some of the highlights are: Support for OTA ATSC 3.0 & 4K Live TV If you have an ATSC 3.0 compatible tuner and live in a TV market currently broadcasting ATSC 3.0, Emby has everything you need to embrace this new technology. This includes new support for the proprietary AC-4 coded needed to decode audio streams. Not only will you get a beautiful picture especially on 4K HDR channels, but awesome sound as well! Cable Support for 4K Channels Emby supports receiving 4K digital cable channels. All you need is a compatible tuner like the ever popular HDHomeRun Prime. Of course your provider needs to support 4K channel transmission and have this turned on for you account. Check your providers website for 4K support as many providers have this available, often at no additional cost. 4K Channel support is not limited to built in OTA and Cable tuners but is fully supported through all tuner types if the source itself support 4K. Here's a great screenshot of a 4K SDR broadcast captured from an HDHomeRun Prime tuner: Universal Closed Caption Support In All Emby Clients Every Emby Client including web browsers fully support Closed Captions, not to be confused with subtitles. The Emby Transcoder is fully Closed Caption aware, so it doesn't matter how or where you play Live TV in Emby, it's now available if you require it. Manual Recordings Support Another new addition to Emby is support for manual recordings regardless if you have guide information or not. You can setup these recordings to use specific channels, set the starting start and end times, you can set the frequency of recordings (one and done or Recurring) as well as specific days of the week. Of course you can personalize the title of the recording(s) as well. You can setup a manual recording easily by clicking the the Create Recording button followed by choosing the Channel and Time option on the popup window. You can then setup the manual recording criteria that will be used. Here you see the custom recording already scheduled to record. Multiple Channel Support for Series Recordings You can now setup a single recording that can be used across specific multiple channels you choose. Emby also has adds new options to allow: Support Negative Recording Padding Values Enter a negative Number in the Start or End Options Max Recording Length for Series Recordings You can now set as a precaution a maximum duration that any recording can have. This shouldn't be needed but is there if you need it should you have a "fringe" reception channel that sometimes causes you grief with recordings. All New Views in Live TV Recordings Tab Emby now supports viewing your recordings just like other Movies or TV Shows libraries. Explore this option on your own and you should feel right at home with it. Server Dashboard Changes The server dashboard has been reorganized a little to make it easy to quickly find information. It also adds additional information. Here you can quickly see 2 Active Recordings taking place on the Server. Now Playing Dashboard The Now Playing section on the Dashboard sports a lot of new information but is easier to view as well. In the above picture you can quickly see Apollo 13 is Direct Playing the content as well as see additional information about the streams. My Cousin Vinny on the other hand is Transcoding the Video while leaving the Audio untouched, but is sending this to the client using HLS. The little graphics in the Video section following HEVC tell you it's using Hardware Transcoding. You can see the transcoder is Throttling (waiting) as it's producing 53fps which is more than what's needed at the time. The new Now playing also sports new features such as being able to click on the video name (ie Apollo 13) and be taking directly to it's detail page. Same with clicking on the username or device type. It's very cool! Improved Tab Design Used at the Top of Pages Emby now uses an improved design for tabs whenever show on a page. It's much easier to quickly see there are multiple tabs on the page with options and features. It's also much easier to see which tab your currently using. The new tab interface look follows your choice of theme information as well. New Theme Options Emby Server 4.7 gives you more control than ever over the look of your pages by allowing you more control over the theme options. You now have separate theme and accent color options. Want a strong all blue theme? How about and easy to see dark theme with Pick Highlights? You can also use a bit of imagination mixing different Theme, Setting Theme and Accent colors to achieve interesting results not possible previously. Embedded Lyrics Support for Music Files Emby now supports display of musical lyrics you provide. This doesn't require modifying your actual music tracks but is done using a text file residing next to the track! You can quickly and easily use a tool such as MediaHumon Lyrics Finder that makes quick work of adding Lyrics to your existing content. Rescan your music library and have this: This is a great new feature that's easy to implement, uses hardly any storage space (text files) and gives you great results! (first icon bottom left) Audio now playing screen The above picture shows one view of our new audio Now Playing Screens. Here's another version of the same screen without the lyrics showing your current queue: This view uses the middle button at the bottom between Lyrics and the cog/settings icon. Clicking the last icon (cog/settings) brings up a mini menu allowing you to change playback speed, Stats for Nerds or the ability to save your current queue as a playlist. Without any of the options selected you can have a simpler viewer centered on the page like this: You can get to these screens clicking the far right icon on the audio playback toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This new audio toolbar put everything you need right at your fingertips. See the artist, album and song. Change volume, set repeat mode, pause, stop, change tracks or switch views as shown above. The toolbar stays at the bottom of the screen for music while allowing you to explore other parts of the system. Very Nice! Audio Book Continue Listening Emby supports continue listening to Audio Books. The above screen shot shows the docked toolbar at the bottom of the screen while the top portion show a new option being set to display on the home screen to be able to quickly access and continue listening to audio files. New On Screen Display (OSD) Features Some of the new 4.7 OSD features have been shown recently in a couple Emby client blog posts using a preview release of 4.7. Some of the functionality of visual timelines and thumbnail graphics have been available in some form the past but now are fully unified in a cohesive manner that's very easy to use from a keyboard, mouse or remote. It's very slick, adds new navigational functionality as well as additional information you had to quick playing in the past to access. You can see how much thought and care went into this design allowing it to work effortlessly across the different cleints. Visual Timeline Showing Overlayed Chapter Information Done Through Keyboard Navigation Info - Bottom-Left Menu Option This will bring up information about the movies, show episode or TV channel you happen to be watching. Chapters Menu This shows the next menu option displaying a list of embedded chapters including the Chapter name, the timeline it starts as well as of thumbnail from the start of the scene. Cast & Crews How often have you watched something and wanted to know the actor or actresses name playing a part? Previously you had to exit playback to look this information up but now it's right here always available a click or two away. What a non-intrusive time saver this option is! On Now You can quickly and easily see what's on TV using the two new views added to the OSD. The On Now view above uses the programs graphics if available (Emby Guide supports this) to show what's currently on each channel in your lineup. You can easily scroll the list sideways to get a good look at everything currently being broadcast. The Guide showed below allows you to quickly see what's on a currently as well as what's coming on later. It's not limited to what's shown but allows scrolling up and down channels as well as the timeline so you can see what's coming on 12 hours from now. It's a fully functional Mini-Guide built right into the OSD. All of the OSD functions shown above work right over top the currently playing media allowing you access to a lot of new information with the least amount of disruption possible. Previously you probably got gripes and complaints from family members if you exited the media playback to get a look at the cast list to see the name of the actor. Now instead of having to wait to the end of the movie to see the cast list or catching wrath from the family, you can quickly view this information in a non-disruptive manner. Having all this new information as well as new tools for easier navigation right at your fingertips during playback shows how much thought and design went into this new version. Emby sets the bar high for OSD functionality that others can't compare to. More To Come! We're excited to share how awesome Emby Server 4.7 release is. We plan to following up this blog post with additional posts in the coming days expanding on it's new features. A special thank you goes out to all the people that helped test the many beta versions along the way! Inevitably with a monster release of this size there will likely be some issues we'll address with quick to follow maintenance releases. Please make sure to let us know in the community forum what you think of our new 4.7 release and any issues or questions you might have. Post Questions, Comments and Issues Here.

+1 would love a scheduled task that would scan for missing metadata in tv shows for the whole library instead of having to do it manually.

This is more enhacement, then feature request, but I would like to NOT exit every time you hit "Search" in Identify option (film details). Usually I do enter Czech title and some time there is too much results without specific match, no results at all or I have some typo or not sure about the year and I can't to just go back, edit search data and search again, but have to again click on "..." menu, Identify, enter details again and search again. I would prefer to have option to go back and try to fix/update search parameters, without need of clicking to whole path to identify and reentering those values again.

I think this discussion has played out for the time being. There are a lot of complexities to doing this that make it not a slam dunk and on top of that the reality is that RARed media has an immediate association with torrenting. Whether that is 100% the case or not is irrelevant. To people like the app stores, that is exactly what they will think. And, they control everything. They don't have to prove anything illegal. They don't have to prove anything at all. They get to decide who they do and do not allow on their platform for any reason they want. So, that simple association is a very dangerous one for us. Thanks.
