I've recently moved from Plex to Emby (a few months in and my experience is so much better). I love using unified graphics with my media, Posters with logos at the bottom, 4k overlays and matching collection posters etc. TV Network logos was something new for me with Emby so I've created these unified logos. If any one is interested I'll zip them up and host somewhere, also happy to take requests to add more. Emby TV Network Logos

Hi, I’d love that audio and subtitles choice would be saved per show, according to what you select on the last episode you watched. The main audio/subtitles parameters is a good point but there are many cases it is not enough and you need to adjust audio and subtitles at the beginning of every episodes. For example i like to watch Casa de Pale in Spanish with french subtitles, The Big Bang Theory in English with french subtitles, French TV shows in french without subtitles, ....

Can we get a setting to auto stretch 4:3 video ether on the app or the server itself. I know we have a setting to do it, but It gets tiresome to have to stretch the video each time you play something.

Pretty sure it is currently not supported.

Thank you!

It ain't in the Catalogue, DL from the first post in this topic.

Change #e5a00d to any color you like. Otherwise, you have to edit a lot of code as it points the edited "--theme-primary-color". :root { --theme-primary-color: #e5a00d !important; --theme-accent-text-color: #e5a00d !important; --theme-primary-color-lightened: #e5a00d !important; --theme-icon-focus-background: rgb(229 160 13 / 20%) !important; --theme-accent-text-color-darkbg: #e5a00d!important; --theme-accent-text-color-lightbg: #e5a00d!important; --theme-accent-text-color: #e5a00d!important; } Will look at to see if possible as the method used are different indicators. Background or text color? Edit this code, if you want to change the raised button background change background in the code or add "color: red;" to this code to change the text. /* Episode indicator for missing and unaired */ .undefinedmissingIndicator, .undefinedunairedIndicator, .missingIndicator, .unairedIndicator { background: #ababab52; padding: 5px 15px; margin: 10px 0; font-size: 12px; border-radius: 5px; }

If you mean that, then you have major problems to fix before worrying about an app running on Windows. Assuming you mean "reinstall Emby", though, I can confidently say that this is not normal, so there is already an issue to be sorted before anything else. Also, why are you having to buy the apps again? They are nothing to do with your Windows installation, and don't get lost as a result of that. And anyway, all the app stores will detect that you have already purchased and let you reinstall - unless you change your account in each app every time - in which case the behaviour is correct. If something has genuinely gone wrong, an email to billingsupport@emby.media should get you squared away promptly. Anyway, I hope that your antagonistic and threatening approach doesn't upset the friendly support people here too much. Paul

Hi, there is an existing discussion on this explaining why it's not as simple as it sounds, but yes, importing this information is possible for future updates. Thanks.

Kudos mate!! yeah I completely agree with “WMC” themes. The interaction with the server is most impressive! if you put a thousand dollar price tag on it my missus would make me pay lol!! She loved WMC and MB and was lost when it died and I upgraded to Win10. can’t wait to see it come to release and so glad you have done it. cheers and happy coding bruv!

Almost two years ago I did an assessment of other TV/DVR software and I got pretty much upset seeing so many so-called "WMC Theme"s, which weren't even half-heartedly done but more kind of "zero-heartedly", where I thought: "How can you call this BS a WMC theme just because you have changed the background color to a blue-ish tone?". That's blasphemy! Why not take the real colors and gradients and borders and icons etc.? That can't be so hard..! Then I looked into it - just to prove my own rant and I realized that the WMC UI definitions can be ported rather well to replicate with modern HTML rendering engines. From then on, I built some parts on occasion, the background first, then the animated start menu buttons. Some time ago this year, I had done the guide. A goal of the new Plugin UI (UI API for server plugins https://betadev.emby.media/doc/plugins/ui/index.html) has been to make it possible to operate it (and eventually all the server settings UI) in TV mode with a remote control. To make this work a bit more interesting, I combined that worked with the WMC theme appearance for settings. Finally, I had seen the latest improvements that Luke had made to the OSD and those were just begging to be skinned in WMC style (due to the high similarity). All those in sum, made me think that it's time to wrap it all up and get it ready.

ok, apparently it's an issue with the latest version of Rapier, 12.3.9. i switched to Estuary and my library displayed fine, so i then rolled back to previous version of Rapier, 12.3.5, and that works fine also

The log doesn't show any indication of an issue. I need another log after init or repair sync. Also switch to Estuary skin to rule out a skin issue.

log sent...i'm using Emby Server 4.7.11.0 when i try to enter my Music library, all i see is the big ABBA background, nothing else could this be a skin issue? i use Rapier which apparently was updated when Kodi 19.5 came out

ok, thanx for that info, I will take a look into that. But expect that the same rendering latency will occur. Meanwhile, I tested following removed emby-next-gen addon copied my music files to the local SSD of LibreElec added the local music files to music library indexed the music library in KODI select view "albums", sorted by "dated added" (descending) No problems with this setup: all albums covers are displayed immediately without delay! (I must say that I couldn't copy all of my music files due to limitations of the SSD, but still there are +/- 1.000 albums with +/- 14.000 songs) So for now it seems that the rendering order is alphabetically when using emby-next-gen, meaning that the first album showed (=most recently added album) is not necessarily rendered first (rendering runs alphabetically) is by first-displayed when using native KODI library, meaning that the first album showed (=most recently added album) is rendered first, thus no latency in cover art So to me it seems an issue of the combination of addon with kodi... kind regards, Bart

Perfect thanks for the help it works perfectly ! Can you just give me the appropriate tag to select season posters?

Just noting the steps to recover after the Trakt.tv Nov 7, 2022 server crash. Trakt API came back online Dec 20, 2022 1- Go to https://trakt.tv/dashboard and review and import the Recovered History which Trakt was able to save. Next I tried to run the "Sync library to trakt.tv" Scheduled task to send all remaining watched history in Emby to Trakt. But this failed. Looks like the Emby trakt plugin needs to be re-authenticated. 2- In Emby server, Plugins->Trakt->Settings Click Get Pin and copy back the displayed PIN to the Trakt plugin settings. Also make sure the "Update Trakt watched history during Scheduled Task" option is checked so that the Scheduled Task takes the Emby watched states and sends them to Trakt. Click Save at the bottom of the Trakt plugin settings page 3- Run the "Sync library to trakt" Scheduled Task 4- Emby watched states since December 11, 2022 should have been sent to trakt. Go check https://trakt.tv/users/USERNAME/history to confirm.

This is an example of how season.nfo looks like, for your reference. season.nfo

Handling of DV profile 8 is interesting. Especially dv.08.06. This is a Dolby Vision file with HDR10 fallback. My LG tv for example plays in DV and my MacBook (I guess but Apple doesn't say) plays HDR10. The benefit here is that when watching on SDR displays the content can still be tonemapped to SDR (although I still have the green line bug), which is not possible with profile 5. I have noticed however that on Android it doesn't go to HDR10 but seems to try to Play the DolbyVision part, resulting in the green and purple hues.

okay - I found my mistake - I didn't notice the exteded settings in the LiveTV sction of the Emby Server - I filled in the approbiate folder location and now it is showing up. Thanky anyway

@Mnejing Well, generally you are right, but things are a little bit different here in Germany: the prices of comparable consumer / business GFX cards from NVidia are reasonably higher (paid 160 € for the ARC 380); NVidia 1650 (and better) would be 230 € and higher by the end of last year. And most of this NV cards are limiting encode / decode threads to 3 (I know there are driver hacks available to come over that limit, but I'd like to stay with pure official relases ). The ARC family can also handle AV1 encoding in HW, which is only available in latest RTX 4xxx family. AMD cards show often strange behaviour at en- / decoding tasks (at least in my personal experience). Usually the GFX drivers (and multimedia stack) from Intel are extremely good in 2D tasks (not in 3D etc. but that is not relevant) and nowadays it is possible to make even the internal XeGraphics of th i7 12700 available for passthrough... So I can run 2 machines with a dedicated GFX card on ESX and if I switch I do not have to handly several installation because currently the driver installer comes combined for ARC / XeGraphics and UHD... But if new architecture based gfx cards from NVidia become available for a reasonable price I would not deny that I will switch to it in the future Greets, Lothar

Recent switcher from Plex due to privacy concerns. I have a shiny new Emby lifetime now. Plex + Prologue + carplay has been a very positive experience for me. Emby's native client on Carplay is lacking some features, perhaps someday they can be included. Three biggest would be a section dedicated for audiobook usability, short rewind/fast forward buttons and a speed control. I can use those functions on the emby client on IOS, but should be using just carplay while on the road. I've included screenshots from Emby and Prologue.

American Dad is a problematic show as TVDB has it a season off from releases as some point. example release American.Dad.S18E22 is American.Dad.S19E22 on TVDB. Emby would need episode mapping to change edge cases like this. I have this in MCM that so it automatically changes the naming when processed. But it is also good that your episode actually has episode names also. In the end it is about how TVDB/TMDB has. You can search the forum for the TVMaze plug as they actually have a different order but plugin order are problematic also as you end up changing order, fetching metadata, locking Show/episodes and resetting fetcher order.

OK. There isn't a reason I can think of to route the shield through the soundbar first.

Yes, I have set it up now. The system has automatically upgraded to the latest version. Thank you～

I tell a lie, I do have those settings! Been awhile since I looked at the playback settings. I'll let you know if it fixes the problem. Thanks

Anything over 6 hours old is probably safe to delete...

Thanks. let me get it up and running first, then i can look into theming and customisation. crawl, walk, run my friend

Hi, yes a command line param for a subtitle url is something we could potentially add support for.

Hi, not yet, but it's on the to do list. Thanks.

Hi, we'll take a look at this. Thanks for reporting.

So once you have your 'specials' listed - then in that episodes metadata in the 'Specials Episode Info' section - you need to specify the Season and the 'Airs before' episode. In the above Arrow example (Elseworlds Episode 1) - this 'special' is placed after Episode 8.

it's getting there. I've got issues with the Android resolution. and this is on the emulator and also the Bluestacks, gonna take some more research to get it working. but i added a refresh cache button now, and it works a treat. plus i'm sold on the Home page UI now. I just need to refine the Library Buttons, i can't get rid of that damn box. And if i do then switching to the next library doesn't work!! Not sure why i still can't get the images to show for the mediainfo Icons.# it's pulling the right images but not showing them so you can see here that as i change libraries the spotlight is requesting what the video codec image is and guess what it returns the correct value but it just doesn't display. What are your thoughts

The detail will be available and I'd imagine they need it to make decisions on transcoding etc - but whether they display this detail to the user is another matter. I would probably not display it by default, just DV should be sufficient (along with the HDR flag as well if relevant). If you want the detail - then look in the Media Info for that item. If emby started displaying DV5, DV7 blah blah - it will likely cause support calls as the majority are not going to know what that even means ..

Hi @Luke, I tested during my holidays locally and through nginx. Yes it's still happening on 4.7.11 kind of randomly, so I cannot give you a proper way to reproduce on your side. I just noticed that the web app client (using safari) is requesting an out of order segment instead of the next sequentially one when the playback stops (I already told you that in another topic about the same subject).

Well, I don't just have one, but rather a bunch of them. They're rips from various demonstration discs. So they're from my collection, but also stuff I've found online over the years as I'm a big data hoarder when it comes to stuff like this.

DV information will be captured in Emby Server 4.8. Thanks guys.

Hi, yes, this is planned for future updates. Thanks.

@bronxboys97 were you able to complete the password reset process? If not then @cayars can jump on a session with you and take a look at what's going on. Thanks !

Not sure whether this is a bug or not… However when I try to identify something, I can not navigate back to the results of my identification. Lets say I search for Spider-Man and I can‘t tell which one is the correct, because the name might be cut off or the picture not loaded yet. So I Click on one of the items and now I see the full title and the image also comes in. If it‘s not the correct one I will use the button in the left corner to go back, but it takes me back to where I have to enter the search details and not to the list of results, so I have to re-enter my search multiple times. It gets really really frustrating when you have many files that require manual identification. The back button should take you back to the list of results and one more press should take you back to the search input.

No, in this case only a Kodi restart triggers the sync. Actually I would fix the core issue -> ws/wss should work btw "connected via http/https instead of wss" is not correct, but I think I know what you are asking for.

Suggesting the OP tell his family to "pound sand" seems very off topic; this isn't Reddit, and they weren't asking for relationship advice. That said, it sounds like you have a very healthy relationship with your family. It's great that you are able to communicate with them so empathetically and effectively. Back to the topic at hand. This is probably a question better targeted at the devs for whatever transcoding engine Emby is using. IIRC, it was ffmpeg back when I was involved with the project, which supports anything Kepler+, so you should be fine there. The A2 has full HWA support, and the NEVC API pivots around capability not model numbers, so I expect that you would be totally fine there as well. Unfortunately, given the price of entry I suspect that it will be very difficult to find someone who's tried this and can offer solid advice. If you get a used card, I'd expect that you could sell it for close to what you paid, so it's relatively low risk. Let us know how it works out, got me curious.

Hi Please add support for storing and displaying the title of a disc, as well as it's number. Here is a mock-up of how it might display, but I'll leave that to you. Disc title are supported by mp3s, flacs, and other formats: https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2018/03/27/lamentable-state-disc-title-support/ I think this also means that Disc 1's number and title will need to be shown (currently it is not). The album in my screenshots is an example of an album with disc names: https://www.discogs.com/release/77493-Various-Gatecrasher-Digital Many Thanks Stephen

what about the implementation of the DISCSUBTITLE?

This is a script I found. Detects more than 1 entry of anything in .mkv, .mp4, .avi format and can be edited in a text editor to change that. Runs in Windows. detect-duplicates.ps1

Good to know about Roku. I'm guessing that's what's actually going on. Agreed... after a day or two... the temp files are likely not being used and can be removed. So I added this to my Unraid server in a cron job script: #!/bin/bash find /mnt/cache/appdata/EmbyServer/transcoding-temp/* -mtime +1 -delete That should delete anything in the transcoding-temp directory that is more than a day old. Seems like something similar could easily be added to Emby's scheduled tasks to clear the temp path.
