I believe they are talking about right here: In a touch interface, it really doesn't matter much but in TV mode, when you navigate with a remote, the first button should be the one most people are most likely to want to use most. IMO, that would be the guide as well.

The adjustment is inside modules/homesections/homesections.js Search for 16 and replace it with another number. I actually like 80. Maybe that's just me. Since there is no User setting, I have to go in and edit the .js file after every update. It might be a nice option in the Display page. Does anyone else have interest in this feature?

This will be in Emby Server 4.8, where you'll be able to choose how the restriction works:

I’d say, probably, most in fact do. It’s not DLNA rendering software in question here - but devices with built-in DLNA renderers: Most AV receivers from companies like Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony… they all do. For example, all current Denon/Marantz devices with network capability can do gapless playback (including their “HEOS” networked speakers) - and they do it from many other servers like MinimServer, Serviio, jRiver, Asset UPnP. All of these play directly, gapless - and including DSD files - to those AV receivers, no other software or hardware needed. But none of them has the seamless integration with other information sources like Emby does.

I know. But apparently, this is not something Emby is even considering to fix: they appear to be happy if it works on the platforms/devices that are the least suitable for serious music enjoyment (iOS, Android). There is so much to love about this software, but not having gapless playback (something the first iPod ever already had in 2001) kills it. I don’t want to have a different server software and controller app depending on where I want to listen to my music.

As per the ATV app. This was brought up a while ago though, as I asked that the Web Client did the same as the ATV app, or vice versa.

When I'm watching my photos in the Tizen App (just installed the latest version 1.2.9) then they are rendered at extreme low resolution.

Next Up (Legacy) Context menu Image size cardOverlayContainer content not scaled, primarily issue for smaller images

I started working on an Extras enhancement plugin last month, and there's some backstory here. The core features are now in place, and I'm ready to share a test build (attached) for anyone who's interested in providing real world feedback on how the plugin works (or doesn't work) in their environment. The requirements are that you're running a 4.8 server, have some Movie extras in a Movie library, and want a plugin to modify some or all of your Extras art. The plugin doesn't yet support all image libraries Emby uses across platforms, so in these cases, the plugin will just say your platform isn't supported yet. It will be at some point. Configuration After installation, navigate to the plugin configuration page and click on the 'Generators' button for the Movie library(ies) you want Extras Art created for. Uncheck 'Disable Image Generation', then click 'Ok'. This will enable generation of all the Art types the plugin can create for you. You can also uncheck individual image types in the 'Generators' dialog if you only want certain image types created. Scroll down to the Generation section if you just want to start creating Extras Art, or read on to get more details on the other configuration options. You can adjust the styling of the images by clicking the 'Styles' button. Sensible defaults are already selected here, though, so adjusting these is optional. The last section is 'Extra Type Styling' which allows detailed control over how the Extra folders (featurettes, behind the scenes, deleted scenes, etc) are displayed on the image. Again, the defaults are fine, so you don't need to adjust these until you want to. Generation With the plugin configured for your Movie Libraries, navigate to a Movie with extras. The art generation is triggered by refreshing metadata on an individual Extra(s) or its parent Movie/Folder/Library. I'd strongly recommend starting by selecting/multi-selecting directly on Extra Items until you get a feel for what the plugin is going to do. New Extras will automatically have their art generated by the initial metadata scan that happens when Emby adds them to your library. Also, the plugin should respect the 'replace images' option on 'refresh metadata' and not overwrite any existing extras art unless you ask it to. If it doesn't, that's a bug and please let me know about it. Disclaimer Please remember that this is testing and don't run straight to refreshing metadata on your entire library or put any art you care about at risk without backing it up first. I've been running this plugin on my production Emby for a week now with no issues. It's working as expected (for me) on Linux and Windows, but it may not work or work correctly in your environment. Finally, this plugin does not fetch metadata from any provider. It is wholly dependent on the parent Movie's art being present. So, for example, if you ask the plugin to clone the parent's logo, but the parent doesn't have a logo, the plugin will not be able to generate a logo for the Extra. In cases where the parent Movie is missing necessary source images, the plugin will whine in the log about what's missing. All you need to do is edit the parent Movie's images to provide what's needed and 'refresh metadata' on the Extra. Thanks for testing. Hope you enjoy.

@Happy2Play thanks very much. After disabling everything my library scanned in 14 minutes! I haven't had a chance to browse my collection yet to make sure all the info/images are there, but from a quick glance on the android app it shows that all my latest episodes are there again, so it seems promising.

Era così Ora invece è così e FUNZIONA!!!!! Grazie per l'assistenza.

From the database virtual items have NULL Path and Filename. STRM files contain both. Stub files will be the exact same.

By specifying it manually, you have stopped the system from trying to determine it automatically - which isn't going to work properly for you since you are using an optical connection. That may be why it works better (and is faster).

Making this configurable is potentially possible but we like to minimize the options that will allow people to destroy the performance of the system. Even when we put bold text next to the option, people still enable/disable them and then report back here how slow everything is.

It did this last night again. Instead of rebooting I went into device settings and switched audio to manual and left it with the same selection it had determined with the auto setting, which is only Dolby Digital enabled. Went back to Emby and it played normally. Not only that but it seems like streams start more quickly in general this way. This seems like a CCwGTV bug to me. The same audio codecs are selected manually or automatically and yet the behavior is clearly different. I will report back if anything changes but this seems like a functioning workaround so far.

#6 and #74 are basically the same. My bad for not noticing #6 first. "This isn't happening by itself. The button order should not be different from the Live TV tab order. If you want to talk about changing the tab order, we can, or if you want to talk about customizable tab order, we can. These would impact every Emby app. Please use a feature request topic. " I prefer that Guide would be the first tab, as it is in ATV now, or the ability to set the order. I never use "programs" so it's wasted clicking to get past it. Obviously this isn't a priority. I searched to see if anyone made this thread yet, sorry if I missed it. Thanks!

I removed it due to the chapter image issue. This could affect a lot of people. 7.9.4 link is fixed

I'm currently rebuilding my db with the debug version. I'm guessing you don't need my logfile as well?

Thanks for the log, I see the issue. Will be fixed in next version. For the moment, you can keep using the debug version. It's a chapter image sync problem. Actually for some chapters, have no images are assigned and that's the problem.

I think it should work with movies but I never tried. You would have to manually create the EDL file for the movie skipping the scenes you desire, and name it as described in the PDF file. I'd try it first just skipping some random time to make sure it works for movies. If it does not, let me know.

As you said, it is ignored and runs through, as promised the log. kodi.log

The two Maverick version have different titles. One has space dash space and the other has dash space. They should have the exact same title until after the first dash. I would also try just removing the first dash entirely. I find that helps. You can always name the main media page, whatever you like. Hope that helps.

please try this debug version. It just ignores the issue, but please send me the log after sync for review. plugin.video.emby-next-gen-7.10.1-build 4 debug.zip

I didnt change anything else (beyond the spelling error), and the Premier Date started working. I think fixing the other issues (the misspelling) is what was the root cause of everything

No, there aren't.

Or this one, from BubbleUPnP Server:

New version available 7.10.0: Delta changelog: small playback improvement in addon mode for multicontent and transcoding improve cinemamode in addon mode unify actors/artists for each libraries fix dynamic nodes status update fix chapter marker image overlay for intros add collection support for homevideos and musicvideos fix tv tunes add option to sync themes locally (tv tunes) fix xml issues fix boxsets for dynamic nodes when folders are assigned image enhancement toggle -> reset artwork change default setting for sync while playback to enabled change to sync while playback Rewrite Emby login code, fixing issues and remove duplicate http queries. Also fix emby connect and support dynamic IPs. Assign user picture as login icons. fix strm plugin issue Comment: Mandatory database reset required. Also it's recommended to remove existing artworks. Let me know if there are any login issues. The part of code got major changes. Don't use this version, it has a chapter image sync bug!

Thank you, guys. I double checked and while the Shows and Movies were still set on title sorting, the folders had been changed (in all libraries) to filename sort. I didn't notice the difference before. Weird that the update did that, but I'm very glad it wasn't anything wrong. Sorry to bother everyone.

Exactly. I use guide the most by far. When I observe others using Emby, I see them in 'Programs' only because they got lost. Obviously there are more important things but I just wanted to put this out there.

I can't comment on the specific drives that @FrostByte mentions above - but in my 30+ years of hardware experience, Seagate are almost exclusively the worst drives from a reliability perspective. Of the drives spinning 24x7 in my servers for the last 5-6 years (in very well controlled /cooled environments) - all failures/smart errors have been with Seagate drives ... Zero issues with Samsung, WD and Toshiba drives - some now approaching 8-9 years of 24x7 usage. My 2p

Options are good but I'd default to what/how it has been working. I myself see no reason to treat strm as something different than a mp4 or mkv that is used as the container for the movie. I had to go back to the original version of the DLL on my systems as it was a mess having strm treated differently. I'm not seeing an issue now either. Ideally Auto Collections wouldn't need it's own separate scan timing logic as it would/should always follow at the end of a library scan right BEFORE it finishes. That would enable it to run before other plugins that run AFTER it finishes. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to have Top Picks or some other reporting plugin working with data that could get changed. Get all the changes done first.

thanks for your work. this plugin seems great. i tested it on 4.8.0.15 docker arm version. the file permissions seems not right. and this plugin show not well in mobile version. Create folder manually can fix it

My people on iPhones(where I was seeing the issue) haven't been on recently, so I can't report on if I'm still seeing the issue or not myself. I'm still watching for it though. Thanks!

I know what it was that caused it. The auto grouping plugin (the OG version) acted upon the library scan to start working through it's logic. Top Picks use to run two library scans, one after another. It no longer does that, I've got it worked out so it only has to run once at the very end. Running two scans would have caused the grouping plugin to run consecutively, and perhaps even twice at the same time. I figure that is why it is best to run scheduled tasks instead of acting upon them. It's definitely good news.

Is the movie showing in new releases with the top pick art or is it just the same movie showing. I believe what he fixed was new releases scanning from top picks library so you don't get the top picks art in that row.

This will be in Emby Server 4.8, where you'll be able to choose how the restriction works:

ok will do. just upgraded to 4.7.9, i'll make sure that is stabe for me first, then upgrade to 4.8.0.16

I haven't messed with them since the update, I will try that next time things get weird. Seems to just allow you to manually select audio codecs though, and Dolby Digital only, I think should be correct anyway.

All communications need to go through billingsupport@emby.media they will respond as soon as possible.

I really like this chef, and would love to beta test a .dll! One thing I will say is that I agree with others, "watched" to completion is a lot more useful than "favorite" hearts in my opinion. I, and most of my users, like others here, use the "heart" to pick out "to be watched" movies into a list. I'm constantly shuffling my favorites around as a result, and they are not a great indication of my likes or dislikes. I would have to completely change how I use favorites to make this work correctly. If there were a setting to turn off "favorites" as an input and instead use "watched" that would be awesome sauceome. Thanks for this chef and can't wait to see a beta version!

@TheBigTeam But you are changing platforms so all paths, image paths and possible subtitle path will be wrong in the database and per library config so on first scan everything will be purged. Unless you manually update all the info listed in the database and library configs. But can only guess permissions if you are having issue replacing existing Emby programdata folder. That is why it is only recommended to install the server and use plugin to restore users and userdata.

Yea it's going to be an option on the m3u setup screen to control this. Thanks.

Authentication, reporting capabilities, opening a web socket, and then playback check-ins are the key.

Infuse would be my go to if it allowed different versions of the same movie under one library item. Blows my mind that they don’t.

Yes that would work. Or if they don't have an m3u but do have a video URL, then you can always just design the M3U yourself.
