I don't think any apology is necessary. You're doing this for free, after all, and family comes first in any event. Hope everyone is in better health soon.

Thanks @Luke 1.3.9 seems to have fixed this issue.

Yes that is why user parental controls need additional settings But the fix appears to be working, online one in my test that isn't would be "APPROVED" but not to worry about it a only really old media us it.

Is it 0 or 15? As Reports have them after R, but there are rating that are considered unknown though.

I think Emby is 90% there. We can already browse a library of books (as has been mentioned); we only lack the integrated reader for playback. Any thought to: Option 1. Integrating opensource readers. Bibi EPUB Reader https://github.com/satorumurmur/bibi Kooder (just the reader) https://github.com/troyeguo/koodo-reader Option 2. Integrating a general "play with" feature to allow us to link our own apps/programs to play unrecognized formats. This would remove the management (for Emby developers) to integrate new formats. (If this is already possible, sorry, I missed it.)

Nice work mate, working great here. One thing I have noticed is if I enter the movie details from the New releases I get a version drop down option (name of movie/undefined).. Maybe that has something to do with the conversation in the previous posts? But hey it works! Really looking forward to the Top Picks, Paypal is ready to go..

NGINX and emby Config Version 1.0.4 Last Update 1-1-2024 Update by Pir8Radio Why Use NGINX reverse proxy ahead of my application servers like emby? With NGINX or any reverse proxy ahead of an application server you have more control over your setup. You can do things the application servers were not built to handle, have better control over your security and logging, replace lines of code without editing the application server code, better control of caching, etc, etc.... One of the main reasons is so that you don't have to open a new port on your firewall for every application server you host, all you really need to open is 80 & 443 and the internet can reach all of your different servers through one entrance. Will NGINX work on my OS? Most likely, you can find various versions of NGINX for most OS's and they come in different flavors, with options baked in, or just the bare NGINX that you need to compile. See below for download links to get you started. Will NGINX break things on emby? Absolutely if you don't configure it correctly! I HIGHLY suggest when choosing a scheme to setup your domain URL you choose SUB-DOMAIN and NOT sub-directory, more below. Also if you come to the emby forum with things not working, or issues you have and you use a Reverse Proxy, PLEASE make sure that is one of the first things you mention in your forum post. ESPECIALLY if emby works on one platform or client, but not another. So many times people complain "but it works on chrome, so I didn't think it was the reverse proxy". Mention you have a Reverse Proxy please. If the reverse proxy is setup correctly it should be totally transparent to the user and the application server (emby). I'm not going to go into how to purchase and setup a domain name. Lots of how-to's on that out there. Once you have a domain name and its pointed to your IP address, you can go to that domain name and hit your server then continue on.... Sub-Domain vs Sub-Directory: Lets say your domain name is: domain.com there are two main ways you can direct traffic from the internet to your backend application servers like emby. One is sub-directory, something like domain.com/emby or domain.com/other-server This is doable in nginx, but there are some catches and you need to know how your reverse proxy and application server work in detail.. This often breaks different features in emby and other application servers.. To keep with our "Totally Transparent" goal sub-directory doesn't work well, it requires a lot of rewriting and work-arounds to make it work smoothly, if you choose sub-directory you will run into issues you will need to address. The other option is Sub-Domain, this is the cleanest, most transparent, easiest to setup and maintain, it's also what I highly suggest you setup. A sub-domain looks like: emby.domain.com or other-server.domain.com The below config is based on Sub-Domain I will include a sub-directory example as well. NGINX Downloads: Official nginx downloads(LINUX): nginx.org Official nginx downloads(Windows): nginx.org WINDOWS users I suggest this version: nginx-win.ecsds.eu download links are at the bottom of the page. This Windows version has lots of cool features compiled into it already, and is optimized for windows. They keep up with updates, its a FREE (for non-commercial) third party build that I highly recommend. Additional Links: Content Security Policy info (CSP) (For Advanced Users): A CSP WILL break your server if you don't know what you are doing, I suggest reading up, lots of googleing, and understand what a CSP's function is and is not prior to venturing into this area Example NGINX Reverse Proxy Config: 3-29-2020 - ADDED A LINE FOR CLOUDFLARE USERS SO THAT THE X-REAL-IP HEADER IS CORRECTED.

Feature Request: Have User Groups and all settings applied at the Group Level That way you can just assign users to the appropriate Group and all settings will be inheritated.

I feel like I owe the community one or two because I wasn't able to write a successful watch party plugin. Kids Channel: Creates a collection of movie items acceptable for your kids. Rated "G" from your library. ( (Disclaimer: This plugin will look at movie rating of "G" to decide if it is appropriate. The channel should be checked by a parent first to make sure all items are indeed appropriate for your children. Use Emby's built-in Metadata Editor to change Custom Patental Ratings values to ensure the library is actually safe for your kids!) Yeah sure they could have their own account, but what if they are driving you nuts, and all you want is for them to "Sit down! Be quiet! Let Dad have a moment of silence!".... oh... was that out loud??? Well, now you can simply scroll over the the "Kids Movies" channel and let them choose something, so you can finally have "just one moment of peace and quiet before the wife get home!" .... yikes speaking out loud again Yes you too can find that silent moment between sibling rivalry. Emby.KidsChannel_v1.0.0.2.zip Install, restart the server, and run "Refresh Internet Channels" Scheduled Task. Coming Soon "Top Picks Channel" Create custom Top Picks for your users and display them on the home screen. Enjoy!

cheers, bit of an odd one but let me know if you need any more logs or system details.

Yes, that resolved it. Thanks!

Thanks for the explanation. The issue resolved itself.

You need to actually focus something for that to happen, so I think the answer is just not remembering the previous selected info.

@mike_mcevoy Devs will have to follow up more but you do not have a HW Encoder showing up so Software is used for encoding.

Hi @Luke I have sorted this problem with a bit of trial and error. I have recently transferred all my media collection onto a large external usb hard drive, i found in 'advanced power settings' there is a 'usb selective suspend setting' after disabling this my movies are playing just fine. It looks like my 'transcoding-temp' folder is emptying itself again and my thoughts are this was not being emptied because the Emby tv app was freezing and crashing.

@Luke I don't think this one is completely done. If you go to the top to Favorites and then back it remembers the enhanced info for whatever you were looking at before you go to favorites, but it doesn't bring back the backdrop v.39 Start app and select one of the Media libraries in enhanced mode scroll up and over to Favorites Now scroll back to Home The details are remembered, but the backdrop is blank again Then you have to scroll down and focus on a library again in order to force a refresh. This same thing happens in the Android app, so probably across all ET based apps. This is with My Media folders in the first section

Lol was just having a laugh at Sienna Miller in your basement torture chamber backdrop lol

Thank you! ill keep you posted if i notice anything strange

I think I can fix the approved not showing up. One moment...

Yes, that is what it is! Unknown. Nice work! The rating is a nullable integer, so that makes sense. If the rating was null, the query would return all null, and 1 with a MaxParentalRating of 1. Definitely watch out for that.

If I limit the library query by using MinParentalRating = 1, and MaxParentalRating = 1 it seems to be okay. The thing that is tricky that you have to watch out for is that NR is 0. So if you just use MaxParentalRating= 1 you end up with kids movies and NR movies... Whoa! Watch out!

I see you have Emby Theater in desktop display mode. If you set the display mode to TV, then everything will be much bigger just like the TV app. But yes, we plan to add options to control the image sizes in future updates.

Other countries rating point to the same index number 1 so if this channel only looks at G then other countries ratings will not work as they are not G. Since the US has more than one rating that has an index of 1 I can see how this can be an issue as for some.

Not all media has these track titles as it is on whoever encoded them to add them. Yes can see and edit this track header info with mkvtoolnix.

I think this fixes the ratings issue. Emby.KidsChannel_rating_fixes.zip

Please try the 1.3.9 build that just went up and let us know how that compares. Thanks.

Hi, your HD Homerun is sending back a 503 unavailable error response. I would suggest rebooting the tuner device, and then when it's back up then run a refresh guide in Emby Server. Please see if that helps. Thanks.

I will have a look tonight and then let you know how it goes thank you for taking the time to reply

Thanks @Cheesegeezer !

Event if it's a bit late, I want to confirm that the issue is solved. A big thank you to the Emby team and @Luke! Compared to the situation before the update, I still got occasional double recordings. I analyzed the cases when it still occured and I found out they only happened when episodes of one series being stored in different folders (e.g. one whith and one whithout the production year). After merging those folders manually, the issue was completely solved. Just in case somebody else has the same issue: cleaning up your folder structure is the solution Best NicoLaz

http://localhost:8096/emby/Users/{userId}/Items?Recursive=true&ParentId=287662&IncludeItemTypes=Season&api_key={authToken} this will return the JSON where you can interrogate the items.

Thank you , That was the problem! It was checked... I canceled this option and now everything is great!!!!! thank you What's strange is that it didn't happen in the other titles....Interesting?

Interest can also be judged by the amount of different people commenting. When requests are in multiple threads or different areas of the forum you can't really see the amount of interest a request has from all the comments either unless merged. For instance, the positional movement of subtitles has been brought up in the Samsung, LG, Android, Xbox, and other places in addition to this section. So, if you just searched the topic here that wouldn't tell the whole story.

Thank you for your fast Reply! So i have to look for a guide how emby works with MPC-BE and madVR

"Desktop" Theatre is the one you download and install, as opposed to the one you get from the Windows Store, which is quite different. Paul

There are three methods of multi-versioning. 1. All in same folder with specific naming scheme KB linked above 2. Manually multi-select and group them 3. the plugin

Yes as that is TV Horizontal view instead of our Vertical view as @ONYX MEDIAshowed on previous page. But DateAdded is a different order also. Only vertical view give options to sort so can only guess it is coded for Horizontal view. Title

They shouldn't be ignored from more like this. Check your server (advanced) option about ignoring external content in suggestions. I'll have to check on continue watching.

Look the external ids/links you will see TVDB links to wrong item. It is "AIDS Diva: the Legend of Connie Norman".

Open the file in mkvtollnix and you should see the track titles. But what is your Settings-Library-Advanced-Embedded track title display setting? As by default Emby will not show all that info. Friendly titles Prefer embedded title

@train_wreck What app version? Appears to work fine Iphone 7 OS 15.7 iOS 2.2.6

Ah this explains a lot. Thank you for the hint and sry for asking skin related thing indirectly, will install it and test again. EDIT: Well what a Skin-Setup.... Anyway I have checked the next-up widget in Estuary-Mod2. The standard next-up episode widget coming with the skin (I assume it is from skin helper) is also refreshing instantly after ending an episode and showing the next one. I assume same approach like the embuary widget with rpc-calls. However the emby-next-gen "next up episode" widget doesn't refresh instantly to the next episode after watching the one before. But it refreshes the progress bar of a running episode if you pause/stop them.

Hi, tried with the standard android app and it works fine, just like the previous version I tried. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm experimenting with images, and I think after going back and fourth between liking it and not liking it... I find that the darker image backgrounds look best. A lot of work for a simply... not so simple change. Now that the entire web dashboard loads from inside the library... it should be very easy to run on linux.

Yep everyone has there own taste to tv/movies. I'm just over the superhero stuff at the mo, they did the same thing with zombie stuff a few years ago. It's what's making money at the time I guess. I'm really enjoying "The Sandman" on Netflix at the mo, got 5 more to binge.

I found a little improvement that could be made to the search feature to improve accuracy. If I were to search for a song name that has an apostrophe in the title without putting the apostrophe, it wouldn't return any search results. If I did put an apostrophe in the title, it would show up just fine. I think it would be a good idea to ignore punctuation in media titles for improved search accuracy. I have attached a video showing this
