Seriously?

and yet this is probably one of the most requested features throughout history of Emby and still not done I'd like to rename "Shows" or "Movies" as "A-Z" because essentially that is what those options are and to get rid of "Upcoming" because its never been populated yet. Similarly, in TV library Episodes is useless for me as just a flat list of episodes unsorted, so again, would like to have choice of removing that option.

Any progress made in making those tabs in tab bar customizable? Some of them I've never used once in all the years with Emby, while I sorely miss some, especially in TV shows-type library.

I added semi automatic intro detection to the Chapters plugin. See first post for details.

Maybe the same will happen here as well. But, with all the new stream services using that type of annotated data, they might take another look. If not that's okay, I have the plugin ready.

Unless I'm being a bit blind (highly possible!), I'd love a way to hide a couple of the top green navigation items without hacking it in myself. For example, in Movies I don't want the 'Trailers' item to appear for any profile and for TV I don't need the 'Upcoming' nav link. Obviously not a major issue but thought it would be a nice thing to have, perhaps allowing them to be re-ordered like the home page items but again just a nice extra,

Hi, I would love to have tautulli or equivalent for emby. Especially for people coming from plex, we would love to see something like tautulli. I know there are a few Statistic plugins but i think we all know there is nothing like tautulli out there. I love the way i see people currently watching movies on my server and the details of what is transcoding etc. i know emby also shows ppl watching movies but it isn't the same. I don't get a notification or even see a icon if someone starts to play while i have the emby page open. There is no icon that shows me someone is watching a movie. Tautulli is also open source so if someone has the skills in python to make it work for emby, this would be amazing. For me this is actually really the only reason I hesitate to switch completely. maybe someone can make this happen

Hey All, Firstly, excellent work! secondly, I noticed that this has stopped working in Emby 4.6.4.0, I have forked the repo and fixed if anyone is interested. (Have PR out for main repo) https://github.com/ShanePe/Emby.SmartPlaylist.Plugin/ Sorry also, I have made an update, if the playlist has NOT yet been generated, it will generate it, regardless of the playlist schedule trigger. So one no longer need to 'manually' run first to initialize the playlist if it falls outside of playlist generation schedule. (Make sense !?!?!?!) Version 2.4.0.3 Feature Create a copy of a playlist. (Duplicate) Decluttered UI by adding a pop up menu to playlists New Criteria: Added Audio Stream Codec Criteria (Stream: Audio Codec) Added Audio Stream Language Criteria (Stream: Audio Language) Added Audio Stream Display title Criteria (Stream: Audio Display Title) Added Subtitle Stream Language Criteria (Stream: Subtitle Language) Added Video Stream Codec Criteria (Stream: Video Codec) Added Video Stream Display title Criteria (Stream: Video Display Title) Updated Criteria: Parental Rating: Now uses official rating under the hood Resolution Height: Now uses video streams to determine the available video heights rather than the metadata. Resolution Width: Now uses video streams to determine the available video widths rather than the metadata. Added Monitor Mode to shuffle playlist type. Meaning that the playlist will be destroyed and recreated on a schedule, but between scheduled executions, media item changes will be batched and monitored for inclusion/exclusion. (So .... combination of live and shuffle modes but could have a perf hit on larger playlists, experimental) Collapsible sections in the playlist editor that keeps state, for more UI real estate. Added the ability to add notes to a playlist (limited to 256 chars). If there are notes assigned a pop up is displayed when hovering over a playlist (2 second delay). Order all selection lists on criteria with dropdowns alphabetically. ------------------------------------------------------- Releases Here -> (See change logs in this thread .... way down) Plugin for Emby Server 4.8: SmartPlaylist-2.5.0.4810.zip

I have put together a simple chapter viewer and editor plugin. The plugin is now in the plugin catalogue. As always, here is the source: https://github.com/faush01/ChapterApi/tree/main/ChapterApi It is very simple and allows you to view chapters for an item (Movie, Season or Episode), remove chapters and add them. It supports all the different chapter marker types. It also has a season Intro summary page, select a season to see if it has intros detected for each episode. Note: All chapters are wiped and reset when you do a metadata refresh on an item. If you spend any time setting up or editing your chapters, keep this in mind. There is no current way of locking chapters. Chapter List Season Intro summary Intro Detection (CTRL-F for Intros) I have added a new way of detecting intros based on theme audio, this is using a very different approach than the core approach, it is using some of the ideas I posted over there: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/107878-audio-fringerprinting-chromaprint-segment-detection/ With this approach, you need the Into Chromaprint info, this is a simple audio fingerprint of the theme song/music/audio. The plugin looks for this and can create chapters based on the results of the search. So where do you get the Chromaprint Intro info file, you can create one yourself for a series, season or episode by adding chapter info for one episode and then extracting that as a Chromaprint Info file. The new icons on the season summary page lets you extract the info file, if you just want to check you have the chapter offsets correct you can extract the audio of the chapter to play back and confirm it. A Chormaprint info file looks like this: { "series":"Game of Thrones", "season":2, "tvdb":"121361", "imdb":"tt0944947", "tmdb":"1399", "duration":107, "extract":10, "cp_data":"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", "cp_data_length":3372, "cp_data_md5":"DDF936E4FD29A02CDA178EBFF37AD2E8" } It's just a JSON file with some info and the Chromaprint data. This can then be used in the Intro Detection tab to create a job against a series/season/episode list. Once complete, you can import the job results into your items. This is a semi auto way of detecting chapters for series that are having issues, because you are supply a good well-known chromaprint of the audio you want to target your results are much more predictable. Sharing intro theme cp data The sharded intro theme cp data is now hosted on GitHub https://github.com/faush01/ThemeCpData To use the hosted data in auto detection in the ChapterApi plugin, you can use the following URL in the "Intro Data External Url" on the options tab of the plugin: https://github.com/faush01/ThemeCpData/archive/refs/heads/main.zip Add the URL, hit download intro data, hit reload intro data and the intro cp data will be loaded for all the series you have that there is cp data for in the shared repository. If you want to add more the to the shared repo, clone it, add your new into cp json items and do a pull request to have your new items merged in and available to others.

@@ebr, Can we add the ability to add a user to a ATV/FTV session? I can run a powershell script that does this using the API, but it would be much simple to add a user to the current session. The playstate/watched content would still be from the first user. Current situation is this: I login to watch something, and the GF is watching to, we want both of our watched status to update when we watch a show. Next time she may login, and then we have to log back in to my profile to see what the last episode was that we watched. So request being, let me go back and hit a button to add a user to the session, list the users on the host, select the user. That user is now joined to the session and get's credit for watched content. Thanks, Marcus

I wrote this today, and seems to do the trick. I've been playing a lot with PowerShell recently and am looking for any feedback, or additional tricks/tools I can use to refine this script. Ideally, it would be nice to have a 1-1 sync between source and destination, but robocopy won't allow that. But, for the time being, this'll do! You all are welcome to it, as well! server_backup_test.ps1

@Luke please check you messages inbox!

The UI has changed to make better use of space. There should now be a button which I've highlighted in a yellow box that allows you to "download to". You can usually also click the 3 dot menu (far right button) for often used features which may have both "download" and "download to" functions. Download will copy the file as is without touching it while download to a device will prompt you for device and quality information which may transcode and/or remux the media file to make it more suitable for the device it's going to transfer to. PS I'm updating the KB area with this same information. Carlo

I'm sure we'll get most of these features to make public/private playlists easier to work with and manage. I can't say when, but I'd imagine a lot of playlist feature requests will all fall into an upcoming revamp of the playlist functionality.

Hi Luke, yes!!! I have tested a number of times and everything works fine. Thanks for all your help

I have done some searching but haven't found a request for this specific yet. When you have a household with multiple accounts content added shows up for everyone depending on your setup which is great. But if you say sit down to watch content as a Family/household/group (whatever you want to call it) then it would be nice for that content to automatically get marked as played for each user account. For example you could log into a Family or Household account to watch a movie, then that movie gets marked as played for each user under that. Thanks

As said, some sort of a "group" is a prerequisite for your request, so that watched status could be propagated. Or "Also here" (man, haven't heard that in a long time) as @ebr suggested. Either way, Emby must be aware of additional users to which it would apply.

Sending a play request to clients doesn't play intros. Just the controlling user sees an intro. But when a user is being added to the party then they see their intro. In any case... not really a deal breaker. Do client devs want to add a plus icon to their detail pages that sends a message back to the server? Then technically anyone could create a watch party, simply by pressing the button. The plugin could sort out what parties exist and weather the user is adding, or joining a party. There are other logistics to consider like who is in control. But... That is another avenue to investigate too. It is a much larger implementation of course.

I mean the person who starts the playback/party vs. all the ones who follow along with it. The only way the plug-in knows that the party is started is by the "controller" (or whomever) starting playback of that item and it does that by monitoring playback events and looking for a specific item. So, by the time that happens, any intros for the person starting the party have already played. Again, that may be an acceptable solution.

What does it matter if an Emby plugin uses the same name? I highly doubt they'll be able to trademark the term.

You should also include the following per the instrucitions so that the devs can find your log and problem more quickly. Exactly what you were doing and what happened. Include the name of whatever you played if it is a playback problem The time you sent the log (in Eastern Time please - UTC -5) The name of the Emby user on the local server that was logged in at the time

Looks like Amazon Prime beat us to Watch Party Interesting user interface for it. The button at the very bottom says "Create Watch Party". Things typed in the chat appear in the lower right of the screen.

For that to happen, Family or Household or any other group would have to be implemented first, as there are no accounts under any other account. Lend your support here:

That plugin seems to sync user accounts completely but I don't want to sync my user 1 with all the stuff say user 2 has watch. I added a feature request more specific I think would be nice. Thanks

The only bug i see is fanart vs. backdrop but not the duplicated images. How should Emby know what image was previously downloaded or provided by the user?

@chefthe legend

The font error is known and will be fixed in the next beta. (@pwhodges has an ffmpeg pre-release for testing this fix)

That's great thanks for the reply and insight. I don't know much about this but you explained it well. I'll update the drivers. It's been behaving pretty good to be honest. I started out using my rpi4 a while back for a bit of fun but then I decided to use it more and my friend in America streams from me. So I dug this old laptop out which to be fair is doing very well now. For a while it wasn't even using the Intel gpu till I changed some settings. Thanks!

I know this is a really old thread but I wanted to see if I could help others I found on my brand new Server that some HEVC movies weren't playing I checked my logs and found that the server was feeding through my VPN address, which the server is not operating off, which I found to be a really wierd bug I added Emby Server and Theatre to my exlusions list in my VPN and PRESTO..........instant perfect playback. Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke I tried some other X265 10bit 7.1 movies and all worked..........whereas before they were bugging out and only playing audio

I'm configuring it through a GUI on pfsense and not super familiar with it so I'm not saying it's impossible, but I can't find a way to apply it to only a specific backend, just on a specific frontend and all my websites go through the same frontend. That's the header I enabled last wednesday before my reply to luke which made the ip show up in emby and yeah, doesn't seem to cause any issues so should be fine. I don't really use it much outside of my network atm so pretty limited testing was done though.

@chrisbr68 In fact, your best option is to stick with Intel. Even IF (while I'm not sure, the answer is probably 'no') you could get something to work with the AMD GPU, there would still be the problem that AMD does not offer filtering/processing capabilities - like scaling. Let's look at the ffmpeg log you posted: You Intel hardware is old, but at least it allows you to: H.264-Decode a video (> FullHD) Scale down to FullHD H.264-Encode the video all in hardware at > 1.0x speed. And with your CPU not being over-stressed and free for anything else. With AMD - assuming it would be possible - it would be: H.264-Decode a video (> FullHD) Download the uncompressed video frames from hw to sw Scale down to FullHD - via CPU!!! Upload the uncompressed video frames from sw to hw H.264-Encode the video Even when the decoding and encoding would be faster - it's the CPU which does the memory transfers and it would need to do the scaling. With an old CPU like yours - that would be still worse than what you got right now. PS: You should update your Intel GPU drivers (from the Intel website)

I'd rather wait to see CSM grants API access!

No need, I already increase the limited storage

As commented in that topic look like Travis created a ticket in 2015 but marked it Invalid in 2019.

Like this one right here: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/62eeffca51a64e00805f1fd8 If anyone else reads this thread, go show some support over there and see what we can do!

I have an idea. What if you had a plugin (which may have already be written... ) Which allowed you to simply rate (out of 5) items in your library. Fear Language Violence Suggestive material Drug and alcohol use Afterwards you would simply press a button and it would ship those ratings off to a database which would take a medium of all the submissions and create an online resource available to the community to have on their servers which would allow for a summery of the parental rating. We could pretty much recreate and have access too our own version of common sense. Built by the community for the community. I don't think it would take much to have a very large bit of data, really quickly.

thnx , i will wait

Chef just disable the emby setting for cinemaintros and once watch party is completed reinstate it if it was enabled. and i can add code in to disable VantagePoint if watch party is active.

Well it will not be disabled everywhere. The notifications can be toggled but e.g. configuration menu icon is currently hardcoded. I think I can change it in one of the next versions.

Hi, guys. Is this still the best procedure for enhanced performance?

stay with the intel encoder. he is better, faster and more efficient. except you got a very new gpu. but even then. a quicksync is mostly the best case if you are not planning on serving many user

Hi, I would try to get that down lower first. It can be hard to search and find the space hogs when you search from root as you'll be searching the whole file system and more than just this mount. A little trick I do is leave it as is but also do another mount. sudo-i mkdir /mnt/md0 mount /mnt/md0 /dev/mdo now you can cd to /mnt/md0 and search it much easier.

Hi Neik, sorry fella been out for a while, yes it’s fixed but I’ve added subtitle extraction since and remux removing unwanted pictoral subtitle languages. Its just about complete now. I should have a release by the weekend.

hi @Dax99 can we please look at an example of where you had a problem? We might be able to offer some advice on how to improve it. Thanks !

okay a simple chmod 644 made it work lol

Hi, not yet, sorry, but it's still a good idea for future updates. Thanks.
