Maybe the feature can look for a bespoke image type - embybanner.jpg / mainbanner.jpg or something which if populated in the media folder, emby will use instead of banner.jpg ? Simply having the OPTION to display 'something' above the 'My Media' is a huge win here ..

I don't think height would be an issue.

Yea it would have to be a cropped backdrop because there's no other choice. And many will report it as a problem that certain things would be getting cut off but we would just be doing the best that we can given what is available.

Not sure if a lot of users know this, but Emby is really good at keeping its appdata folder size down as long as you are using the options to save artwork, subtitles and video preview thumbnails in your local media folders. This might not seem like a big deal for some, but with large libraries, the size the appdata folder grows to without these options is massive. For various reasons I run paid lifetime versions of both Emby, Plex and Jellyfin (free) on my Unraid server. I was doing some housekeeping today and made note of the appdata folder sizes: /mnt/cache_appdata/appdata/emby - 18.8 GB /mnt/cahce_appdata/appdata/jellyfin - 31.6 GB /mnt/cache_appdata/appdata/plex - 630.2 GB Emby/JF are both well contained, with Emby having the size edge. Plex is a complete pig. I run an Unraid plugin that automatically shuts down running dockers and backs them up nightly, just in case an update crashes the docker, or if a drive fails, or gremlins or whatever. I can't do this with Plex, shutting it down and backing it up nightly would mean it would almost never be running with the time it takes with the size and hundreds of thousands of files/folders, so it gets excluded from the backup process. All three of these programs have their pros/cons, but this is one area that I really do appreciate the work the Emby devs put into giving us options to keep the appdata folder lean.

Just started a run. So far, so good.

This did it. Whether I had the VPN on or off I got a different IP there than I did on canyousee, whatsmyip, OR the Emby Dashboard when in the same configuration. I entered the IP that came up on yougetsignal with the VPN off, and now have remote access. So the problem was that I've got a bunch of resources giving conflicting IP info. It is also still working on the local network.

Yea I do really like that and it's something I'd like to add. In fact, I could easily throw it in right now if you guys can live with not being able to control the content that shows up there (e.g. random). So it's essentially held up until we're able to carve out a settings ui for it.

I like big backdrops and I cannot lie...

Looks to be working properly so far with this latest update....

valid or not people do it and sometimes you need to deal, code can parse multiple root level elements, using the standard xml reader using System.Text; using System.Xml; namespace XmpParse { internal class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //string doc = @"<xml><string>hello</string></xml>"; string doc = @"<item><comment>hello</comment></item><item><comment>world</comment></item>"; MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(doc)); XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings(); settings.ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Fragment; using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(ms, settings)) { while (reader.Read()) { switch (reader.NodeType) { case XmlNodeType.Element: Console.WriteLine(reader.Name); break; case XmlNodeType.Text: Console.WriteLine(reader.Value); break; case XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration: case XmlNodeType.ProcessingInstruction: Console.WriteLine(reader.Name + " : " + reader.Value); break; case XmlNodeType.Comment: Console.WriteLine("Comment : " + reader.Value); break; case XmlNodeType.EndElement: Console.WriteLine("END"); break; } } } Console.WriteLine("Done"); } } } output item comment hello END END item comment world END END Done is it a pain in the ass, yes, do you actually want to have to go to all this trouble, probably not, but it can be done.

But some trends are just dumb. like remotes with about two buttons on them. Nextflix, Disney+ etc have sidebars and they're just annoying. You scroll to the left a bit too far and it pops up and just gets in the way. So I guess thats more a moan about implementation than their actual existence, but getting to them should be a deliberate act.

@Dickydodah! ive been focusing on a new UI and let the plugins just ride, they are at a pretty good place at the moment, but we always play catchup on the bugs and updates from the core. It is what it is. but standby for the new age interface that will launch a smile on a thousand faces i hope eek

Sadly, can't think of anything else. As you can see, I like my roundy borders, so I tend to plug that as well, but I'm not exactly Mr Imagination...

@arrbee99 Looks really great friend, when looking through forums here your pics are always amazing, great to see css nerds on here always looking for better eye candy Do you have any other ideas of how this banner could or should look across external client devices bud ? Would love to hear your input

Den "tag", "limit" und "content", mach in natuerlich dynamisch rein. Wichtig sind die "subrules" fuer mich: (in dem Fall) "playcount" und auch das sorting "<order direction="descending">dateadded</order> Und ja, alles ist Geschmacksache. Anhaltspunkt ist fuer mich, gleich wie am Emby server. Sonst wird das eine endlos Geschichte.

you are correct sdh isn’t implemented yet

Ist Grundsätzlich eine Glaubensfrage, für mich macht es mehr Sinn, dass alle bereits vollständig gesehene Filme, Serien und Episoden nicht in der Rubrik kürzlich hinzugefügte Filme/Serien/Episoden auftauchen. Da man es bereits gesehen hat und es offensichtlich nur ein Qualitätsupdate des Films sein kein und somit eben nicht kürzlich hinzugefügt sondern vor langer Zeit :-). Habe gerade gesehen, dass in der Datei das <limit>15</limit> gesetzt ist, das ist mein individuelles, müsste ggf. angepasst werden auf Standard 25. Habe dir neben den gerade geposteten Serien nun auch noch die Episoden und Filme angehangen. Hast du Interesse an weiteren Node? Habe bei mir smartplaylisten die ich dir gerne in Node schreibe, wobei das kann jeder User auch über Smartplaylisten lösen. Beispiel: nicht gesehene Filme, älter 2018, IMDB >7,4 Deine Nodes bilden meiner Meinung nach den Standard ab. recentlyadded.xml recentlyaddedepisodes.xml

gerne, mit folgender Node ist es jetzt sehr sauber und analog Emby. recentlyadded.xml

So if this is for an Emby Client, as per the title, is it effectively a mod of the existing, say Android client on a Shield with the image in a more confined area (with media info) ? Or purely one huge image ? or a row of scrolling huge images ? a row of scrolling huge images with media info ?

Cool. At least it's easy to do.

Seems to be limited to Sony Bravia profiles.

I know what the issue is

Ah it's actually in 'home screen' settings per user - just untick the box below for your mixtape library - and it won't appear in latest etc for that user.

Oh! That does look cool.

Hi, that's something that will need to be linked at. Thanks.

Hi. Can you please show us a specific example with logs? Also, be sure you have not pointed two different libraries to the same physical locations in your file system.

I updated system.text.json in the plugin and maybe emby hasn’t updated theirs. I will revert it to same version in emby server folder

This looks interesting, crop the backdrop and overlay the logo. You could also overlay some resolution info.. (1080, 4K) it will look great I thinks. Just got to pick the sweet spot to crop.

I deleted the files AND the folder, so A-Team folder and files would be gone leaving only /OtherShows/ I'm guessing this is why Emby next-gen tries to delete the entire TV-Shows folder instead, because the A-Team folder is gone already?

I think Luke's got the right idea, I look forward to seeing what he's got planned in action

Idk, making everyone happy all the time seems impossible. I say try it!

If you enter your true public address on say yougetsignal.com with your Emby port it shows open? But sounds like server/apps are not seeing your true address.

I updated the plugin hours ago, generally silence is a good sign i updated the rest of my plugins too

If Display order is adjusted shouldn't Emby only use TVDB as it is the only provider with order options? But per show providers options could fix some of these issues.

They changed some files, i will post the changes for you. Deployment.yaml change 8096 to 9096 Portal.tpl change 8096 to 9096 service-tcp.yaml all 8096 to 9096 and off course make sure you emby system config points to 9096 and 9920. that should allow you to start it, first with ought the host networking , and then modify and open Host again the files are in the same directory. PS for anyone running on Bluefin like I do, stop samba shares and reactivate them after the container opens, or go to apps kubernates settings : advanced and untick the Validate host path @YoloSan

I've got some more time for top picks again today. I had to take some time to work on this... top secret... not so secret. It is close.

No, it can't be done like this. With the LDAP plugin, Emby gets the user name and password of every user who logs on in clear text and the server attempts to log on with these credentials at the LDAP server. Such procedures are totally forbidden with OAuth/OIDC. It is a core feature of those implementations that you must and may never give your password to any 3rd party. You only sign-in at the site where the account is from that you are using to sign-in. There are multiple authentication "flows". The most typical one is browser redirection, which means that a client app needs to redirect you to the web site that has issued your account. Once you have logged in there, you get returned to the app, while in the background of this procedure, tokens are exchanged between the 3 parties: The app with the issuer website, then the app with Emby Server and eventually Emby Server itself with the issuer website. There's also a "flow" for devices which cannot redirect (because they aren't browser-based): With the "device flow", the client tells the user a website to open (separately, e.g. via mobile device), the user logs on to the website and gets a numeric code, which it then enters into the client app. The rest is the same like above. Assuming Emby Server (and all clients!) would support this, there are additional caveats: The Emby Server needs to have a DNS registration of your own domain (no dynamic dns) and must be continuously and reliably available As an owner of an Emby server who wants to set this up, you need to go quite a way to get this working: You need to open a developer account with the sign-in provider through which you want to allow users to sign on to your server And you need to do this for every sign-in provider you want to suppport. For example: you want to allow users to log in with their Google accounts, Facebook accounts, GitHub accounts and Microsoft accounts With all of them, you will need to open a developer account and then, you need to register your "app/service" (=Emby Server) for OAuth/OIDC authentication The procedures are quite different with all of them and the data you get and will need to set up Emby server accordingly looks differently, and it's quite a process to get it all figured out Finally, there's another complication: when you want to allow users to log in with their Google accounts (for example), that doesn't mean that you want to allow everybody with a Google account to log into your server, which means in turn that you need a mechanism for selection. Possible methods are By invite link you actively send invites to users you want to allow Approval Queue Users who authenticate the first time are put into an approval queue where you regularly need to grant or deny access Probably the most simple one is to only allow existing users (who already have a normal account on your Emby server) to also set up a 3rd party login for their account. I have done all this for a (yet unreleased) project, and what I can say is that it's nice when it's working, but it takes a little effort - and I'm talking just about the setup that users need to do.

Ok, I've just tried to watch live tv on the Emby app for iPad and it works like a charm. After this, I installed the Emby Theater app for windows and BAM, it works there. This is enough for my needs, as the issue seems to affect only usage through browser and the theater app is a good workaround.

Please Luke if it is possible to make change the sizes of the movie images in the collections

You can use DizqueTV and put your own custom logo in any of the for corners while channel plays in emby after adding dizque to emby.

Thanks for the info. I already set a password now. But im using hrtunerproxy on my box now. On Emby i installed the HDHomerun-Plugin and connected it to my box. Working fine now. And yes, EPG comes with easyEPG running on Docker on my Synology DS720+. So I´m fine now. Regards

You can use the edit button from the guide itself as well as from the Channels tab in the Live TV setup in the admin console. I've updated the Knowledge Base article to articulate both ways to edit a station's guide data. Channel Mapping Carlo

Saying that the application is ugly does not provide information. Say what you don't like and what you would change.

Currently there is no limit to the live TV buffer but we plan to change that in future updates.

He's looking at direct play meaning no transcoding.

Looks like it does in these containers. MP4, MOV, M4V supported video codecs: AVC, HEVC supported audio codecs: AAC, AC3, EAC3, AC4, ALAC, MP3, PCM Streaming specifications | Roku Developer

Ah, ok! Thanks, think I'll give it a go on my Shield TV (not my main player, that's a Humax Aura!) to see what it's like before I try it on the Aura.
