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).

Hi, We used to be able to click on the "Logo" of a TV series to immediately link to the "home" or main or first page of that series. (Unsure of the correct name. The base page which has seasons shown below). That functionality seems to be gone now. Any chance we could get it back? Thanks! Clark

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).

Yeah I had thought about that, but figured I'd let core Emby handle that if they thought it was of value. But certainly someone could do it that way Also push a skip button for intros makes sense, it's once. Needing to keep the remote in your hand to skip every commercial would be annoying and I'm not sure anyone would do it. I know I would not.

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

Installed 4.7.5.0, so far so good. More complete testing can start now. I am sure my family will tell me when something is not working, but I am reasonably confident that I will not land in the doghouse. Big thanks to the dev team again for all their work!

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.

So you would need to "Tag" these episodes and then name your "little shorts" with the same tag. in the tag folder However VantagePoint doesn't cater for Episodes at the moment. Now i've finished the MediaInfo plugin, my attention will turn back to VantagePoint. This is on the hit list next lol

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.

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.

I would love to see this capability. Any progress?
