Coz it’s frickin amazing hahahah sorry I can’t look at a laptop screen just yet, got a hangover that would kill a civvy!

This project has basically grown using my initial bunch of 'scripts'/concepts to do these things coupled with Dave's ( @Cheesegeezer) skills using C# into an Emby Plugin MKV 'toolbox' Dave is trying to get tabs working (like the Introskip Plugin) so each 'function' has it's own tab - which will look a little nicer. On the dovi_tool stuff - I've never really played with this - so if somebody else can provide script examples - the inputs and outputs required - the online tool location etc - then I'm sure it something which Dave may add. Probably worth PMing those in this thread that you think can help on this rather than clutter this 'testing' thread - we'll have that as a 'design' thread - the same as we did for Introskip. Please add @chef as he always have some amazing insight and ideas for plugins. I do know Dave wants to get on with Iridium (lol) but the toolbox just keeps getting bigger and better (now with his MKV Convert function added). tbh - I think this is a long overdue plugin - and I can begin to retire a lot of my scripts that do this stuff and have it all integrated/logging into emby running on an emby schedule ! @Cheesegeezer - Another function to add to the list is a very simple script to 'insert' a compatible AAC/AC3 or EAC3 Default Audio Track for Media with only DTS Audio Tracks. I know emby have finally caught up on some apps with live transcoding of the DTS, but it's always better to have a native track that can be relied upon now that DTS is not commonplace on low-mid range soundbars/TV's for example. Any thoughts guys ? Script is a single ffmpeg line - so it's very easy. ffmpeg.exe -i "input.mkv -map 0:v -map 0:a:0 -map 0:a -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:a:0 (CHOSEN_AUDIO_CODEC - ie aac) -ac 2 (DOWNMIX OPTIONAL) -filter:a:0 "volume=1.3" (BOOST the convertion volume to keep the same as the original) -disposition:a:0 default -disposition:a:1 0 (THIS changes the track defaults) -metadata:s:a:0 title="NEW DEFAULT TRACK TITLE" -metadata:s:a:1 title="ORIGINAL TRACK TITLE" -f matroska output.mkv

Might need to change the name of the plugin to that soon. It's becoming much more than just mediainfo. Or, split it.

You are absolutely right in my opinion. I am a Jellyfin contributor and I was incredibly hesitant to post anything here because I have seen the things that are said about Jellyfin (and its developers) in this forum. Obviously I am biased in this, but the only way for a media software to really embrace the community is for it to be run by the community. Plex and Emby are businesses so naturally they are going to do anything they can to continue making a profit. If they can incorporate features and functionality "inspired" by community developed tools in their product behind a paywall, why would they not want to do so? I doubt Plex has any concern or animosity towards either Jellyfin or Emby given their size and I haven't really seen any hostility there. There has definitely been "bad blood" between Emby and Jellyfin. You don't have to look past the first reply to your comment to see that. Again I am clearly biased, but that does seem to be largely one sided though. Emby did everything they could to shutdown the Jellyfin fork when it first started (threatening legal action at Christmas when when some unlicensed code was inadvertently included in the fork and pushing out app updates to block connections to Jellyfin servers). Maybe someday we can coexist without the hostility. Being a community project ourselves, Jellyfin always tries to encourage and support new community projects. If anyone would be interested in a collaboration, you can find contact methods at https://jellyfin.org/contact/. It's been three and a half years of active development and we just had our 40th release of Jellyfin. These kind of comments are really insulting to the hundreds of contributors who have spent countless hours of their personal time to develop a project that works for them. Can we come up with a different narrative at some point?

Be able to create playlist based on a certain criteria, like genre and or year, in order to create a dynamic playlist that it refreshes automatically when new content is added. This way you can for example, create a tv comedy playlist from the 90's, or a new sci-fi Movies playlist. Some other criteria for rules could be the rating, watched/unwantched, score, tags, language, audio codec, etc The possibilities could be endless

I'd like to be able to allow users to download home videos and things, but not movies.

Following on my @@Cheesegeezer's MediaBrowser FILM CLUB thread, I thought I'd start a TV Club thread. I'll copy Mr Cheese's rules, as they will apply here also. RULES: 1. THERE IS NO TV CLUB 2. NO SPOILERS 3. GIVE OVERALL EXPERIENCE FELT ABOUT THE TV SHOW (how it made you feel) 4. YOU MAY GIVE COMPARISONS TO OTHER TV SHOWS 5. YOU CAN GIVE THE TYPE OF MOOD YOU CAN BE IN TO WATCH THIS PARTICULAR TV SHOW 6. NO SPOILERS 7. GIVE A SCORE OUT OF 10 8. PERHAPS SUPPLY ANY IMDB, TVDB OR OTHER SITE'S LINK TO THE TV SHOW. Thanks for joining.

I know in previous threads related to HDR tonemapping, like this post for instance, it had been said that DV tonemapping would be a challenge given the nature of the tech, either the proprietary aspect of it, or the complicated nature of the tech. Our open-sourced friendly rivals at JF have released a new server update that has added, "Dolby Vision Profile 5 and 7 tone-mapping" After testing a DV file on a non-DV capable tv, the tonemapping worked just as it should. Given that DV tonemapping is now feasibly possible, could this be a pursuit of the Emby dev team please? (Here is the video section of mediainfo of the DV file that JF was able to tonemap and deliver to a non-dv capable device) Video ID : 1 Format : HEVC Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Format profile : Main 10@L5@High HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU Codec ID : dvhe Codec ID/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding with Dolby Vision Duration : 1 h 36 min Bit rate : 16.4 Mb/s Width : 3 840 pixels Height : 2 160 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Constant Frame rate : 24.000 FPS Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 10 bits Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.082 Stream size : 11.1 GiB (95%) Default : Yes Alternate group : 1 Color range : Full Codec configuration box : hvcC+dvcC

I would add to that DTS HD MA as well but @FrostByte sums it up exactly. The FF on DTS-HD audio regardless of those two settings seems solved.

and everyone is an expert in their own field. DV has way more color information than HDR and uses dynamic images rather than stills. so a lot of interpolation and algorithms are being used to falsely inject more color range. Which is like upscaling a 480i video to 1080p my question is… is the movie actually significantly better quality or is it just a feel good that you now have a DV tag on it. Does it seriously resemble a shot and edited sequence that has DV built into the final product? i have an idea of adding in a custom process generator that would then create a schedule task from your command line that could used on each library

Samsung users would need a HDfury and an EDID file in order for the TV to understand LLDV.

Hi Chef, I'm using the catalogue version currently but am heading over to the 2.0 version now and will give that a go. Thanks for the reply and I will let you know the results.

Hey James, are you using the catalog version, or have you tried using auto organize 2.0 If you have tried auto organize 2.0, and you are experiencing problems identifying media items, I would love to know more. Specifically some file names for the the series in question. If you feel more comfortable sending me file name examples by PM, that would be great. If you haven't tried auto organize 2.0 and would like to, that would also be great. And finally, as a user of auto organize, if you would like to join the testing team, please let me know, we are currently preparing to release a new version with some expabdaned features that will help organize the library folders.

Thank you. In fact I looked again at my firewall settings and realised that not all the Emby rules were correctly checked. Problem solved. Thanks

solved it couldnt delete thread sorry

Hello guys. I was wondering if there was a way to manually download movie theme videos manually? I noticed today that the video theme for The Live is actually for the movie Battle Los Angeles. All the metadata is correct because it downloads all relevant artwork and backdrops. So is there a way that I can fix this issue? I don't know how many other mistakes there may be. Here is a screen shot. It shows Michelle Rodriguez. Here is the Media Info: Thank you.

This issue has gotten a lot better with .77 for me. It no longer locks up my Shield when FFing DTS-HD.

It only affects the web client, but you can uses some custom css in Custom CSS box. div.details-additionalContent { display: flex; flex-direction: column; } div.artistSongsSection {order: 2;} Or just this to remove songs div.artistSongsSection {display: none;}

.76 subrip subtitles are broken too, not only PGS PGS with HDR10 will stay on screen PGS with Dolby Vision is displayed with a white backgroung and will stay in screen Subrip (srt inside a mkv) will stay on screen

3 steps: edit \emby\programdata\config\system.xml and set <ShowIntroDetectionScheduledTask>false</ShowIntroDetectionScheduledTask> to true in your TV Show library config enable the following setting: run this scheduled task wait one week (maybe thats just me)...

@Teddyknuddel Wie gesagt, ich verstehe Dich so langsam. Es ist frustrierend, wenn man brauchbare Funktionen mit Fehlern anstatt zu korrigieren, verschlechtert oder einfach ganz ausbaut. Auch wenn ich die Vor- und Zurück Button im TV Guide gut finde, hätte ich mir lieber nen Fix für andere Funktionen gewünscht. Schade, die wichtigste Funktion für mich ist weiterhin völlig unbrauchbar. Ich gehöre nun einmal nicht zu den Leuten, die Musik und Filme am PC schauen, sondern über eine "echte" Anlage. Kodi habe ich deswegen in den Wind geschossen, denn das war in dem Bereich noch schlechter, auch wenns kostenlos war. Gruß Eddie

Pretty sure there's already a request for this.

Update: Barry: NoHo Hank is one of my favorite tv characters of all time. Atlanta: One of my favorite shows, and I couldn't even finish the season this year. Better call Saul: It's coming to an end and man, what a ride! Tokyo Vice: Good beginning, sold middle then it just ends. Really weird. Other than that it was going really well... Pachinko: AppleTV is upping their game, this KDrama is very good. Severance: Again, AppleTV, very very good. Although I find these "high concept" tv shows have a history of falling on their face after season 1... so we'll see...

@GrimReaperThis is a good stop-gap solution. I had most of those options configured, however I was getting back bogus original name values. I ended up nuking the movies and tvshow dB files. I'll script the appended values to the filenames afterwards. I'm hoping a better, more automated solution can be developed. @ebr, please don't close this thread just yet.

Ya, I was going to suggest a couple weeks ago to use dovi_tool to identify FEL and MEL DV7, but didn't want to be shot

Thinking out loud, and not going to verbalize that as feature request, but since hdr10plus_tool and dovi_tool exist and allow some fun-stuff, like converting hdr10+ to dolbyvision, utilizing their power could be an interesting addition in the future.

You would have to navigate (ssh) to the system.xml location. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/103636-how-to-access-synology-nas-as-adminsuperuser-using-winscp

Thanks this was exactly what i looked for and havent found with searching! @arrbee99thanks anyway i found that out recently too, and was looking for more stuff to change

yes, there are a lot of different fingerprinting techniques, the chromaprint one uses fast furrier transform (FFT) to analyze the frequency spread over short time periods (sub second) to produce an ID for that block of input. This is good for sweep analysts as we are using it for intro detection as it gives you a stream of ID to match against a larger input set and allows you to find the offset of the inner sequence. But there are a number of audio fingerprint approaches and a bunch of companies out there using it for various things. link https://www.researchgate.net/publication/224711171_Music_Identification_with_Weighted_Finite-State_Transducers This is an interesting approach but finely tuned to "identify" an audio stream, not really useful for audio snippet offset detection, it would be great at letting you know some audio has this snippet in it but not able to tell you where in the stream it is. It uses Machine Learning : Gaussian Mixture Models https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/mixture.html Probably not the python SciKit library but something similar to built models. It uses what they call "music phones" or the audio broken down into small word sized snippets and fed onto the above model. This is an unsupervised clustering system where they use the models to build paths or phones to give you threes, this then allows you to match a paths to an item, fromt he white paper: "where each path corresponds to a unique song" "allow us to remove redundancies in the song graph" So it is a lossy search approach so that yes you can find a match but not a location.

Hey up, syd It is somewhat possible via TMM, but you'll need a bulk-renaming tool (like Advanced Renamer or any other of choice) in addition. (bear with me and gimme 5 minutes as I have to edit this post thrice else images will be all around the place since I'm on mobile and it's tricky to get them in between text) If I understood you correctly, scenario is as below, movie folder with old bif file: In TMM Settings>General>File types, add .bif under "Subtitle and Additional File Types". Update Source(s) afterwards so those .bifs get read by TMM, else they'll remain ignored: In TMM Renamer settings use ${movie.originalFilename} token as Filename argument: If you now dry run Rename/Cleanup, you can see only .bif file will be renamed according new/changed/updated moviefilename: However, it will lose suffix (like -320-10) for which you can batch-search *.bif on OS level and just add that at the end with any bulk-renaming utility.

Not sure if this is what you mean but you can replace the start up logo with your own (in a web browser), but for me at least its up and gone in about a second anyway. You can replace the logo in the top left of the dashboard as well. The only way I know is to replace the ones here - C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\dashboard-ui\modules\themes which you have to do every time Emby updates. Other might know a much better way. No idea if you want something that'll stay till the user presses Enter or something.

Ich habe tatsächlich ein Gerät gefunden, bei dem "Auf einem anderen Gerät wiedergeben" noch funktioniert. Wobei "funktioniert" es nicht ganz trifft, denn eigentlich ist alles schlechter als bei der 4.6. Die Playlisten, die Playerkontrolle (Start, Stop usw.) sind weg. Die Funktionen "Alle abspielen" und "Alles ab hier abspielen" funktionieren weiterhin nicht. Es wird immer nur das erste Lied abgespielt. Nachdem @Luke hier meinte, dass das mit der 4.7 überarbeitet wird, hatte ich deutlich mehr erwartet. Kann man ein Downgrade ohne Datenverlust auf die 4.6 machen, da hat wenigstens etwas funktioniert? Spiele ich die Lieder lokal auf dem Rechner ab, habe ich ne Playerkontrolle, Lautstärkeregelung und ne Playliste. Sorry, dass ich das sage, aber auch wenn mir der Tonfall von @Teddyknuddel nicht gefällt, so langsam verstehe ich ihn. Gruß Eddie

Thanks for the ZeroSSL tip. Been using LetsEncrypt but it's a pain to renew the DNS TXT record. Zero let's me do an email confirmation so updates are easier.

"blind as a bat" comes to mind.

When on a Season page, It would be useful to have buttons to take me to the previous or next season. Currently, you are required to return to the Series page and then select the season that you want. For anthologies shows, this would be a huge help. For long-running anthologiy series like NOVA, this is particularly painful because you have to scroll through the list of 50 seasons on the Series page each time.

The most simple workaround till this problem is fixed is to set the subtitles OFF in the movie/series screen befor pressing PLAY. So the Movie/Episode will start at once like it should be... after the Movie/Episode started playing simply select and activate the requested Subs from the OSD. This works without any problem.

That simple move of the latency sensitive data to SSD can make a big difference in UI and overall response time. The age of your current system limits what you can add to it and if not CPU bound upgrading the chip won't gain you much unless you find one for $20, then why not?

Good morning John (DarkKniyt)... I added code to bulk edit so that Titles and Overviews can be bulk locked. Give it a try and let me know if it satisfies your needs. If you want changes, let me know. Vic emby_new_tool_28.html

A common reason Emby's Real Time Monitoring (RTM) stops working on Synology NAS is because the Unix set user limit on inotify instances and/or watches has been reached as a result of a large number of changes for instances to process and/or the total amount of folders, files, etc that need to be monitored by watches. When RTM stops working you may start to see errors in your server logs like the following where the default number of user watches (8192) has been reached. A similar error will show up when the default inotify instances (128) is reached. System.IO.IOException: System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (8192) on the number of inotify watches has been reached, or the operating system failed to allocate a required resource. To increase the number of inotify instances and/or watches create the following task in DSM control panel Task Scheduler logged on with admin privileges. 1. Create a Triggered Task...User-defined script to run at Boot-up 2. Paste the following commands under the Task Settings tab sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576; sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances=4096; 3. Click Run to execute the new task (if not logged on as admin then a restart may be necessary) The task will then rerun during every boot to prevent the changes from being reverted back to default from a DSM update. To check that your changes took affect you can optionally run the following commands in Terminal cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches If your library gets really big and the limit of user watches is again reached, then just increase the number again. The maximum number of watches allowed in Unix is 524,288 and each used watch takes about 1kb of memory on a 32-bit system (double on 64-bit). However, it will only use what is needed based on the number of items being watched.

Hey so this script is setup so that you put it on a machine which has access to your files. For me I put this on a Debian vm with an NFS mount to my media. I put the script in my /usr/bin but you can put it anywhere in your $PATH. You’d then go to the specific movie you want to work on and run the script. for example, my system is setup with a folder structure like so: main folder is called Movies. All my movie files are under this folder. Each movie is then under its own folder. So the movie avengers would be under /movies/Avengers/avengers.mkv the naming is slightly different due to quality tags and release year but for this example it works. So I’d go to /movies/Avengers folder then run the script. So it would only run for that one movie. editing subtitle extraction: so in the script this line is where you edit first. subtracks=$(mkvmerge -J $media |jq '.tracks[] |select(.type!="audio" and (.properties.language=="eng" or .properties.language=="en" or .properties.language=="ru" or .properties.language=="rus"))' Some English subtitles are tagged as en or eng which is why I search for both. Same goes for Russian. To change the languages you’d replace the values with the quotes to your language. If you want to add additional you’d simply add another OR after the last “ bit before the two ) with a .properties.language==‘your language’ you can add as many as you want, but each one will add more time to the script running. the next block to update would be: if [ $language == "eng" ] || [ $language == "en" ]; then language='English' fi if [ $language == "ru" ] || [ $language == "rus" ]; then language='Russian' fi Match up the language values what you setup up top in the double quote section just have the ==. In the line below you are stating what the language is. This section is purely for esthetics as when Emby loads up the subtitles the value written here is what emby will display the subtitle name as. If you want to add more subtitles, just copy the 3 lines from if to fi and change the language codes. Hope that makes sense. typing this from my phone. The script isn’t setup to run on all your movies at once. It’s more of a one at a time thing. You could do a wrapper script on top of it to do all of them. For me I only worry about the amount of subtitles if the movie is over 20gb. That that point it can affect playback when it’s transcoding and multiple people are streaming.

i found there was already a service in windows firewall that had no tick box to allow traffic, ticked it and now it works perfect, inside and out of my network. cheers

I don't think that is a fair characterization. We did nothing to "shut you down". We simply took steps to protect our IP. We gave our code away freely. That's on us. The only gripe I have with JF was the removal of code attributions I saw committed to the repo (this was a while ago and, honestly, I haven't followed it much since). That is just wrong.
