Sure, I'll send you my IBAN

This is for Emby Theater for Tizen and iOS. It seems all these recent updates are to “clean up” the OSD etc. Well, there is tons of room now that you have removed the poster from the video details screen, so can we please get the “Ends at” time back on details? Makes absolutely no sense that that it was removed in the first place. I realize it can be seen after the video is playing by pressing down to get to video info but the whole point is to see if you have time to watch the video BEFORE you start it! Seems pretty straightforward. thx!

Hi. Is this still planned? Do you have an estimation on when can it be ready? (I understand it cannot be a promise, just an estimation ) Emby offline downloads are not very useful to my concrete use case without the playlist download, and the apps are currently the only thing of Emby premiere I would benefit from. Thanks in advance.

That was a mis-click. I do believe the database sizing is the solution but I'd like to see if the problem reoccurs at any point over the next few days. I will say that my server feels snappier than it has ever been after increasing the cache to 4 gigabytes.

It's not advisable to do this as they are caches that serve two different purposes. The DB cache is a native page cache for faster data fetch while the ARC cache is a file I/O cache with logic to improve file performance. The DB cache is there to prevent I/O so it doesn't even make the calls when it fetches the data from cached pages. For ARC to function the I/O calls have to be made. The DB is also smarter about which data it's going to retrieve so the ARC prefetch would end up doing more work than needed. If you're worried about double buffering then place the DB on a volume not using cache. But even if both are in use the DB is more efficient, will read/write what it needs as it populates its own cache and the size is negligible. Once it's up and running for a while the DB data should age out of the ARC cache while being retained by the DB cache.

The DV standards are well defined - I blame the 'hacking' of the sources to get them into DV8 containers - all the tools to do this are unofficial as Dolby is a licensed product. To really test if your system is officially DV compatible - you need to use the official files from Dolby below. https://developer.dolby.com/tools-media/sample-media/video-streams/dolby-vision-streams/ if these work but your file does not, then it's the file that's the issue ...

You could use something like IISCypto to change the registry flags as that is how I got Windows 7 to still work in another topic.

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!

Hi everyone! I'm looking to get some more support from Emby community on getting PMM (Plex Meta Manager) to support Emby. This is an Collection / Poster Tool that will auto-populate collections based on criteria, for example TMDB Collections List. IMDB Collections List. Trakt Lists Etc... You can also overlay things on top of the posters. They haven't started but I suspect its API related so anymore that whats to help then lets get this done Check it out and if you want to throw in some support, Sponsor! (This isn't me, i'm just plugging) https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/ & https://github.com/sponsors/meisnate12 Discord is running: https://discord.gg/xwJ9kfaJ & Feature Request for Emby https://features.metamanager.wiki/features/p/emby-jellyfin-support

I don't believe there's an elegant way to do this now, so it would be awesome to have the ability to set the destination of the recording at the time the recording is set. All my kids shows go to the default location and I have to manually move them to the kids-tv folder/library in order to keep them off my UI. It wouldn't work at the user level because my kids aren't old enough to record their own stuff, and having to switch to their profile just to set up a recording would be a pita. Thanks

Can we lock the movie order in a playlist? I want to make a MCU movie sequence, but anyone can change the order in it and i need it to be always the same order.

I would like to be able to lock a field for an entire library instead of on a per media basis. For example, i delete logo's that don't match covers or are just crappy in general however whenever there is a metadata scan it puts them all back, this is problematic in a library of over 9000 movies, so my thinking is it would be great if we could globally lock out certain fields that we don't want updated/changed. Similar thing happen with other fields such as movies with varying titles get their title changed so i think it would be a handy management asset in general.

No, sorry. But I haven't used it on Linux, which is what I tend to associate the term "socket" with. Re "route" - that's not what it is. Route is a directive to force a group of other directives to be handled in the order you write them rather than their default order. What I think you're trying to write with it is what's called a "matcher", which can be part of many directives - but in almost all cases "/*" is the default anyway. The route directive can have a matcher, but this is used to specify that the directives it controls are only used in that instance, and you might typically have multiple routes to specify different subsections of a web site. But for that purpose you would normally use "handle", which also specifies a group of directives to be used in just some of the web site, but doesn't force an order to override the default order on them as route does.

@GrimReaper And the server log pretty much says the same. 2023-01-13 12:37:15.147 Debug App: Saving nfo metadata for C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Videos\TV Shows - nfo\Abby Hatcher\Season 1\abby_hatcher_s01e01_strah_od_macaka_&_kuharica_skocka_1080p_skysho_webdl_pipi_conv.strm to C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Videos\TV Shows - nfo\Abby Hatcher\Season 1\abby_hatcher_s01e01_strah_od_macaka_&_kuharica_skocka_1080p_skysho_webdl_pipi_conv.nfo. 2023-01-13 12:37:15.157 Error App: Error reading existng nfo *** Error Report *** Version: 4.7.11.0 Command line: C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Stable\system\EmbyServer.dll Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10.0.25276 Framework: .NET 6.0.10 OS/Process: x64/x64 Runtime: C:/Users/Media/Desktop/Stable/system/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 8 Data path: C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Stable\programdata Application path: C:\Users\Media\Desktop\Stable\system System.Xml.XmlException: System.Xml.XmlException: An error occurred while parsing EntityName.

This will give you cast, actor name, and media name altogether: select ItemPeople.*,MediaItemsPeople.Name as PersonName,MediaItemsMedia.Name as MediaName from ItemPeople join MediaItems MediaItemsPeople on MediaItemsPeople.Id=ItemPeople.PersonId join MediaItems MediaItemsMedia on MediaItemsMedia.Id=ItemPeople.ItemId order by MediaName,ListOrder I constructed this query using the 4.8 beta channel. It should work on 4.6 and 4.7 though I'm pretty sure.

Yes as I believe it is a xml standard. <title>Afraid of Cats &amp; Chef Curly</title>

Coming in 4.8.

It varies but 1TB of music is a lot of items and probing every track does take time. Only thing you can do is check the server log to see what it is doing.

Agreed, not related to the plugin... I'm looking on my end to figure out what change and when it starts updating the file timestamp to a previous date months ago!!! I'll keep an eye from now on! thanks for the clarification.

Ok, I'm still optimizing artwork code. Reason I asked for Kodi 20, My current dev version runs only under Kodi 20 (plugin version 8.X) Backports to Kodi 19 (7.X) will take quite a while...

Np - and don't forget to clear browser cache once you make the changes.

Fingers-crossed Thanks so much for this & being so active in replying today - much appreciated

What do you mean? A typical Caddy reverse-proxy doesn't need to use the route directive (in fact none of my dozen or so websites uses it either). Paul

Indeed, my scrapper did change the date, I newly added this show 2 days ago, but the timestamps seems to be set for earlier: But person of interest was added (again with a new files) and it does show as added recently, but the timestamps was all set to dec 27th, 2022... So I guess my scrapper did somehow not work as before!!! That makes sense now! BTW the last plugin you sent me is not able to play any file! got an error all the time... went to the information to see the file name, and could only see: ../../../../../../../../ etc

It appears that reason in my case was debanding parameters in mpv.conf. After deactivation, HDR video looks correct.

Oh you are a legend! I've got it back Thank you! This is so much better (Again!) Fingers crossed it stays there!

And again I'm not following, as it's still there (if you don't have "Show Labels" option enabled in Display preferences).

Looks like you found it, right?

OMG, it kept reverting back, but this time to filenames... The only episodes that were correct were the ones with a "single" title. For those with double titles (two episodes per file) it kept reverting, for example: FROM THIS: "<title>Afraid of Cats & Chef Curly</title>" TO THIS: "abby_hatcher_s01e01_strah_od_macaka_&_kuharica_skocka_1080p_skysho_webdl_pipi_conv" .... The problem was the AMPERSAND ("&") - I didn't know that it shouldn't be in the NFO. When I changed all the "&'s" to the "/'s", everything works again... Such a simple problem gave me a headache for more then 7 hours of troubleshooting... -.-' Anyway, thank You for helping

Courtesy of @Happy2Play: 1. 2. Edit the mediainfo.js (might have other side effects) and change: !1 !== options.endsAt && (endYear = getEndsAt(options.mediaSource || item)) && (html += getMediaInfoItem(endYear, "endsAt")), to !1 !== options.endsAt && (endYear = getEndsAt(item)) && (html += getMediaInfoItem(endYear, "endsAt")),

@ebr I am not using a phone or a tablet so I am not talking about Android Mobile. I don't even have any idea how to sideload an app.

There used to be, up until fairly recently a really neat feature on Emby that I hadn't seen anywhere else whereby it showed what time a film or show would finish BEFORE you watched it (I know currently you can see this information when you pause once playing). You'd see this when going into an item, it was there along with the quality & play time etc. We as a family really liked this when trying to judge what time a Friday night movie or suchlike may finish. It even updated the time when you paused - then in some update or another, it just disappeared & I can't see anywhere to enable it or any plugin that replicates it. Was just checking in here to see if anyone else remembers the feature & if anybody knows how I might get the functionality back. I came back here from getting some good feedback initially on Reddit to the same question & encouraged by that came here. Have run Emby alongside Plex for years now but in past 18 months or so have really been leaning towards Emby more & more for many reasons. The good folks on Reddit called out the Devs & Luke in particular as being really good & open to suggestions/questions such as this so here I am! I've been on Premiere since pretty much Day 1 with Emby for several years now so have always been a very happy & willing supporter. Thanks if you can make bringing back this feature a reality.

The caddy log should show the startup listening for http/3 and the connections to caddy in http/2 or /3. Unless you're running with end-to-end encryption the emby log will show connections as http/1.

I'll get the logs tonight when more people are online

Yep, the reason to connect directly to the soundbar is to be sure to get proper audio support. Depending on the TV, it may not be able to pass all the formats the soundbar supports.

Okay, as i suspected, it was the Dolby Surround processing in the AVR that was messing it up. Glad you got it sorted.

Make sure your initial library scan has finished and then re-evaluate the watched status.

ok thx ! I'll tell you here ASAP

thank you for the offer of help i am very interested. Before the recent Emby dev show reveal of the ?new plugin environment/ways of doing things? i had a go trying to copy the base of an existing plugin and i got as far and a compiling a dll, putting in my plugins folder and having a configuration pane but with no functionality. I got totally lost with plumbing things in, all the interfaces and gets and sets, the raw language of the c# wasnt so much the issue (i could at least make progress/look things up). Its been a year since i watched a 200 (i think) episode Youtube tutorial on c#. If you can help get me started with Emby plugin development / the fundamentals, i would bite your hand off, thank you.

Just a follow up It was the device limit. When I removed the old devices the user popup disappeared. It would be nice if there was a message in the controlpanel that the device limit was reached. Just like the failed logins.

It's been at least a year.... Possibly longer..... It's a pretty big server with 140TB of data. 5000 movies and 1000 tv series. I'll vacuum my server in the morning.

I'd like to see the ability to set on the recording not only a "keep only X episodes" but also an expiration date, "keep for X days/weeks/months" like tvheadend has. For example, when recording newscasts in tvheadend, I could set the series timer for 1 day, so the Friday Evening News was not still showing up in the list the following tuesday. Or, for some things like talk-shows or soap operas, let them stick around for a week. The idea being the content in the show becomes somewhat stale after a certain amount of time and is unlikely to be watched. Note, any individual recorded episode should have a "keep/don't delete" flag on it that can be set to exempt it from automatic deletion rules. (which is a standard DVR feature available on every other DVR since the 90's) Bonus points if you can set a separate expiration ages for Watched recording vs Un-watched recordings, although that can get complicated because of multiple viewers and profiles.

@doppies What version of Windows is that? It looks like 8.1. Might be the same/similar issue as Windows 7 TLS 1.2 issues but haven't done any testing on 8.1.

Hi. Looks like something in your network setup is not allowing your server to talk to ours. Proxy involved? System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed because the remote party sent a TLS alert: 'HandshakeFailure'.

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.

With an external player you cannot resume playback. There are also no external players integrated into emby. Jellyfin has VLClibs built in. I reported this almost a year ago so I kind of gave up hope of it being fixed.

So, what is blocking it is NGINX....look at the screenshot above and you will see that the ports are not the default Emby ports... they are redirected through NGINX. Anyway you can just change the port to the default emby port and it will work as intended I just, sadly the icon on the TOS desktop doesn't use the correct URL but the proxied one (no idea what the point is of proxying Emby like that honestly). It would be nice if there were a workaround in emby to redirect the URL if an incorrect port is detected....since the chance of this being fixed in TOS is low. Alternatively the authentication method could compensate for that, but that is beyond my pay grade. Also as long as you use the correct URL it should not affect other clients since the normal ports are accessible.

Can generally recommend theposterdb.com. Customized nearly my whole library with pictures of those. The free Account is sufficient. Fan of DIIIVOY and RedHeadedJedi

You have to set the settings theme to dark then the text will be white

10 months later, this issue still persists in the latest beta 2.0.84g, this is seriously disappointing, you can't convince me this is not a top priority when AAC the most basic and common audio format can't play correctly, now I regret buying the app.
