Home screen is getting there. ignore the dual taglines

I suggested in a totally different thread a bit ago about possibly adding Discogs as a meta fetcher... https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/79280-duplicate-music-artists-entries-how-to-get-rid-of-them/ That thread has had a few +1 reply posts. As such i figured adding it to the feature requests was the proper way to gauge interest. If you have used MP3tag you should be familiar with Discogs. Its a GREAT alternative to Musicbrainz.

New version can be found in the main post compatible with the latest version of Emby Stable v.4.7.5.0 (and current beta). It fixes some small graphical elements that changed in the latest updates. It also makes the intro skip button only visible a couple of seconds and then disappears, until the mouse is moved.

I hope you all understand that to cover costs i will need donations, to cover app costs. Other than that I’m willing to produce a fricken awesome app. However this will be after TV version of Iridium are released and tested

Updated the app just now and played some files. Everything was working as expected without error.

So… had a bit of time to spend on this, i created a side bar menu system and wondering your thoughts on the menu system. the idea is less clicks to where you need to get to. Minimalist concepts have created enormous nesting. Windows 11 is such a huge culprit of this and i hate it. it will be visible but collapsed navigating left from a scroller will expand it navigating right in the menu takes you to the library content, library scrollers. Navigating up would take you to the top menu recommendations will be a great feature me and @rbjtech are working on… iridium exclusive

ComSkipper ... A Emby Plugin that skips commercials in recordings using output from comskip. This plugin will work with EDL files generated by Comskip, ShowAnalyzer or any other application capable of generating them to automagically skip past commercials when playing back recordings in Emby. A visual localized notification will be presented on the screen when this happens. UNC network mappings are fine - as long as the .EDL file is in the same filename as the media file. A PDF is included in the download that explains all of the details. But one thing should be made clear up front. And that is this plugin does NOT contain comskip, show analyzer, or any other program that detects the commercials and creates the EDL files with the skipping information. Also, the donator version of comskip is required because Emby stores its recordings in .TS format. I'm told the donator version is no longer required. User @vdrovergraciously created a PDF file on how to get this working on Ubuntu. It can be found in the Github repository in the doc folder and will be included in future releases. The PDF file also shows an easy way to configure Emby to automatically run comskip after each recording on a Windows server. Linux server users will need to figure out the best way to do this for their flavor of Linux. I am not a Linux advocate or user, however I did find this information in the NextPVR forum that is encouraging, and I encourage Linux users to help each other out with this as I will be of little to no help in this regard. https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=60803 Building Comskip is really quick and easy on Ubuntu, so probably the same for any Debian based distro: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev autoconf automake git libargtable2-dev libtool $ git clone git://github.com/erikkaashoek/Comskip $ cd Comskip $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install Once this is out long enough where I am pretty sure it is stable, I'll make its GIT repository public. Git Repo Getting it into the plugin catalog could follow after that, assuming the Emby team approves. I rarely record, my main use case is NFL football games. I record our local teams game, which when complete runs comskip on the recording which takes about 40 minutes. We then watch the game while eating dinner that evening. Skipping halftime (manually) it brings the time from 3-4 hours to 2 to 2.5 hours. Comskip does a very good, remarkable really, job on all of my recordings including the games to date. I have attached the comskip.ini that I use. It works well for me in the US. If you add this to your ini (make sure your system has the processing power to handle it), it will greatly reduce he time comskip takes to process your file (requires donator version). thread_count=2 Have fun and enjoy commercial free recordings Current Release Version 2.2.0.0 - Updated Emby library to latest.

I hit "play all" on a collection and it doesn't show the next film in "Next Up" after I quit out of it. This is apparently intended behaviour, and the same applies to playlists. This is absurd. Why even have the "play all" option? Who's sitting down to watch a full collection's worth of films, or a full playlist? I have playlists for The Prisoner for its various episode orders, and there's no way I'm getting through them in one sitting. I was going to make that my next show to watch but if I'm going to have to keep track manually of my progress through the playlist it makes the playlist fairly pointless TBH. There's no reason playlists or collections shouldn't show up in Next Up.

I have a couple of media folders holding football and basketball games I've recorded. I recently came accross a metadata website for sports called http://thesportsdb.com. Would it be possible to add a field like the other metadata fields to pull information from that site to fill in fanart, description, dates, etc.? Ii'm not sure if it would require a new media "type" folder called sports, similar to tv and movies. I've linked a couple pages, the first is the API for returning information from the db. http://www.thesportsdb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5 The second is example json (I believe) data http://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchteams.php?t=Cleveland%20Indians

Hey! I've seen several threads about this feature but I didn't see any in the features requests section (sorry if it's a duplicate I may not have looked well). I would like to have a way to display only the series collections like for the movies with the collection tab. Displaying them directly in the middle of the series is not what I want even if for the moment there is only this solution. Several solutions could be implemented like - The addition of an extra tab (it will be too many tabs). - The choice of tabs displayed to remove and put others - Remove the tabs collection button and create a button underneath (I don't know, I'm proposing things ahah) etc... I don't know how it could be implemented I trust you completely to find the best way (if it validated to be implemented).

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.

the drive was indeed shot. replaced with a new WD blue 5400 2TB. Rebuilding Emby now from back ups. It's happening much faster SMART Utility is very handy.

Will test further, but at first it looks good!

Just started playing with this feature on Emby (Roku) and its great on DVR content! I notice however it will not generate on an in progress recording (or I assume a LiveTV stream that you have paused and thus are timeshifted). Is it possible to enable the thumbnails to be generated in more 'real time' so that in progress recordings could also benefit from easy commercial skipping/timeshifting? Thanks!

With refresh switching on it takes right about 6-7 seconds from when I first click play until I see the rating symbol. Tested on 5 4K movies. This with a Shield Pro and SE 9.1 ebeta

https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/44000610499 Also notice clicking Support doesn't take you back to Support home, because its link is href="#".

I pushed a fix for the SUPPORT link. I'm working on this but it's a trickier and I still have a couple things to work out. The same code is used from different places but use different CSS and javascript to manipulate the areas and I'm working through the combinations before pushing the changes live. I'm trying to make the whole blue section rollup as you scroll the page so it will look like this:

Access to different content within collection, individual Watched status tracking, individual Favorites, server admin...?

I have heard that. I took a look around for custom ini files for UK OTA but could not find any, sorry.

I was able to nab the 4.7.5 Linux version and installed it. Will watch a few programs this evening and report back.

OK we'll try to track it down. Thanks.

They're coming.

A fair comment. Been playing with comskip today and I can't get it to be anywhere near accurate enough to be left on Auto .. It appears UK OTA TV is not the easiest to detect.. If I keep struggling, I'll reach out on the comskip forums for detection help.. as currently while the plugin is excellent - it source is very poor (for me).

Sorry no the additional platform builds don't appear to be available yet, so am guess the build server may have issues again.

I have used a self signed SSL certificate for years.. And have no issues.. EMBY on LG and Android / ios devices are connecting just fine both locally and remotely to my emby server.

I've been testing it with HDHomeRun Primes and Quattros and it's been working well for me. I've been using between 3 or 4 clients with 2 left on a particular channel for hours on end and others "surfing" and watching different things. All good so for!

I think this would be a useful feature - in particular with series that do not air things in order / air sequels as specials or as not the original media type. For example Steven Universe is a TV series with a sequel that is a Movie. Another one is with Anime where the same (or opposite) is true. I was also recently made aware that Star Wars (which I haven't been keeping up with, please don't judge) has 1 (or more?) TV series as of late. Perhaps a dedicated "Continue watching <playlist>" instead? For example "Continue watching Steven Universe Playlist".

As some of the best music apps that support compatibility with Emby, Plex, etc charge in their respective app stores, this only seems sensible.

I don't know what I did, but after some playing around it now works...??? Thanks you for helping out gents...

My Emby Server updated and restarted this morning. I've got the guide back now on all my clients. Thanks Luke! Chris

Does this help? Is there a limit to Emby Premiere :

What code are you using as you are already readding page id it can be targeted?

thank you all guy, i saw now that there are some update to the plugin that solved that issue

My issue is fixed with New tmdb plugin Update

HI, sorry, we've been held up on other things but it is on our short term to do list.

Just to add to this issue/solution, I had the same problem with the emby-next-gen prompting for settings each time it restarted (including each upgrade). I determined my issue was caused by emby-next-gen upgrading the settings from the old emby plugin, and not correctly writing out its own XML file to its own directory. I had uninstalled the old emby plugin from my system, but its data folder was still present. Emby-next-gen appeared to be reading the settings from here (like which Emby server to connect to, etc.), but prompted each time for what kind of paths I wanted and whether I wanted to sync user ratings. When I checked the emby-next-gen data folder, I saw that the settings XML file was there, but was 0 bytes big: not corrupt, but completely empty. I stopped Kodi, and renamed both the old emby plugin data folder and the emby-next-gen data folder, restarted Kodi, reconfigured emby-next-gen completely, and then it wrote out a proper XML config file and doesn't now prompt on each restart/upgrade of the plugin. I am not sure if this is a general issue with the way the settings are "migrated" from the previous emby plugin, or whether I just had my own personal issue

Hi, I'd probably suggest using our Docker container, and yes you'll need to configure the container for gpu passthrough. Regarding progress I would suggest checking out our backup guide: https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159936-backup

To throw my 2c: While Delete item dialog is self-explanatory, Delete Playlist is really in need of re-wording, in particular when filesystem is mentioned, which IMHO should be completely removed from that dialog: Users in general have no idea where playlist information is stored, as far as majority is concerned it might just as well be database info only, so that dreaded "will be removed from filesystem" can be skipped altogether and noone would be the wiser - those that do know what it refers to will anyhow know that xml will be removed, those that don't know it wouldn't care about it anyway.

I think that the general take away from this thread should be that the whole user GUI interaction around playlist isnt working. When users who are of a level that post in tech forums dont "just get it" you can safely assume those less tech savvy have no hope. Since this includes the potential of data loss a review should be prioritised.

Yes, there are definitely two points of view on where it should be. I prefer my eyes focused on the middle of the screen. I don't think anyone believes one line should be in the picture and one line in the black bar though. That's just hard on the eyes.

Yes, that makes sense. We do need more subtitle options - for placement, size, margins and colour.

I must have got mixed up on the download page, i thought the new version was the one called out. Either way the synology7 package has a much less interesting error.

The above pictures shows how easy it is to find a scene you want to watch. You even get the chapter name embedded in the thumbnail picture. 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. The screenshots above demonstrates this with a couple simple changes from a text based titles to the graphical logos. Pretty sweet! Of course that's not all.

That is strange. It sounds like the migration is likely blown at this point and would need to be copied over again so don't to anything with the /volume1/Emby you have from the DSM 6 version. Keep that safe. Now we need to figure out what type of issue is causing this wrong version message. Please try downloading and installing the beta version from the page https://emby.media/synology-server.html on the bottom half of the page. This is build 4.7.0.19.. If you like I can remote in and have a look with you to see if I see anything. Send me a PM if you would like to do this.

@devil202 @Jinhjy Try changing your caching level from standard to "No query string", wait a minute or so and then see if the issue is gone. It worked for me.
