You must be kidding. Google are the #1 of evil in this regard. They are just selling it way better than any of the others.

This feature would really make Emby even more useful. Sometimes, I play music without wifi or data and playing downloaded songs though playlists would make things so much better. Also, if a song is already downloaded, it would be nice if the app would play it straight from its local store instead of streaming it over a network. Where I use emby, sometimes networks are choppy especially when traveling.

Library scan running tasks are lacking in their progress reporting. This is most apparent after a fresh install of Emby on a large library, particularly containing many TV episodes. The scan tasks seems to almost immediately skip to the high 80s percentile before it actually starts adding files to the library. The scan task has been running for 2 days straight and has gone up a few percentage points to 90.2% at this point. Would be much better if it reported a more accurate percentage. Alternatively, a count of the number of directories or files it's scanned vs remaining. Currently under 3.6.0.1-beta.

Correct, this is the issue. We are asking if it will switch from this: /--SHOW |-Season00 |-- Special Christmas Episode1 |-- Special Christmas Episode2 |-- Making of SHOW |-- Interview With Cast |-Season01 |-Season02 To this /--SHOW |-extras |-- Making of SHOW |-- Interview With Cast |-Season00 |-- Special Christmas Episode1 |-- Special Christmas Episode2 |-Season01 |-Season02 Where "Special Christmas Episode" is a narrative driven episode that takes place in the world of the show, and the others are behind the scenes type of media.

Everybody's on the Friends and Family Plan I assume.

Agreed about the series. Also agreed about the reverse engineering stance, I suspect most here knew that was the case anyway. The big question, asked numerous times in this thread, is when it might get implemented. I realize you probably don't have a good answer for that, which frustrates some. Particularly since it has existed for several years in Emby competitors.

Great series - especially for anyone who lived through that era. When it comes time for us to implement this (or any) feature, we're not going to "clean room" it or reverse engineer anything. We'll design and implement a solution we feel works best for Emby users. Thanks.

I got your point, but it's not just that the timeframe was wrong - your whole point is wrong. Search results weren't better in earlier days. (same like porn movies btw)

That general apply as well to ChatGPT buddy, they support that project by big amount of money as everyone know. Tracking .. tracking is the main matters here.

The important effects for MS: "Bing in Edge" means they can have users move over to Edge They can force users to be logged in while searching (at least when they want the "full experience") They have a reason to convince users to share their browsing history

Do you have any filters enabled on your library (Filters field would be colored, typically blue, in the UI)?

I've spent some of my spare time experimenting with machine learning, and applying what I've learned to some code for Emby. Using the massive dataset supplied by MovieLens (https://movielens.org/), I was able to create a machine learning plugin that loads a large set of data into a matrix factorization neural network, and can spit out recommendations for users in emby. Following this article by Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/machine-learning/tutorials/movie-recommendation and experimenting with their ML.Net libraries things started to get pretty interesting. The project itself is rather large, and I thought I'd share what I've come up with so far, maybe other people are interesting in how the neural network recommendation service is working when testing it against movies inside an Emby library. It's pretty cool. The idea could be to create an in-depth recommendation system for emby, or possibly utilize this as a way to create a new "Top Picks" style plugin that is user based. Which also might be really cool. I'll try and answer some questions up front if I can: What is Matrix Factorization, and How does it work in Machine Learning? In a nut shell, if you have similar tastes in movies as other people in the dataset, and they have rated a movie you haven't seen in a while, or have never seen, then that movie is recommended to you as a possible item to watch. The Neural Network will predict what you, or your users may rate the movie if it was watched. Is this plugin run locally on my machine? Yes, this plugin creates a matrix factorization neural network locally on your machine, which is trained in a scheduled task. Is any of my personal data shared during the training process of the neural network? No, your personal data is completely safe. no user data is shared with any data provider, and stays safely on your server. How does the neural network recommend items? The MovieLens dataset is an accumulation of almost 25 million data point on 27 thousand movies with almost 100 thousand users ratings. The ratings data is altered on your server to include your user data and then the neural network is trained on all the data points, allowing it to predict what movies in your library you and your users may want to watch. Once the "recommender" is trained it then saves a model and uses that to predict recommendations for users. The NN can be retrained when new users are added to your emby server, including them in the recommendation process. Asking your users to "like" or "Favorite" items in the library will certainly help factoring recommendations, however it is not entirely necessary. Does the Matrix Factorization Only look at "Liked/Favorite" Data? No, other columns are also feed into the neural network, like item genre. If one of your users do not "heart" the media on their account, their watched status and item play-states are factored into the recommendation predictions. If they watch more items that fit into a certain category, this is scanned in and calculated. It is best to have several movies marked as "liked/favorite" in the library form each user to get best results. Is it cross platform Yes, I believe it is. ML.Net is a cross-platform library using .netstandard 2.0. With regards to the runtimes associated with the plugin the following are available, and would be included in a dll: Linux64 Linux ARM Linux ARM64 OSX64 OSX ARM64 Win86 Win64 It is all fairly preliminary, definitely keep this in mind On the settings page it is possible to train the NN Model (top), and also run recommendation predictions (bottom). Once the network has created it's model, it is possible to run this model again and again against the library (due to it's 27 000 movie titles included). Selecting the "Recommendation Predictions" begins the second task of calculating what each user might like. Browsing back to the "Recommendations" tab, outlines each users predictions. It shows what the NN predicts your score would be out of 5. The results are definitely interesting. Sure, these are all new movies I should watch, and they are pretty much some of the most famous of the year so far. So the results seem to be pretty close to what I would expect. The training of the model also only use 20 iterations, to be honest I don't know if that is enough, or too much. It's all new. What I can say is that loading the ML.Net Assemblies work, and loading the MovieLens dataset into the NN also works. I have added toggles and inputs to try and test different training scenarios, but it's all kind of unexplored.

Have the same problem with a specific series.. Never had this before.

Missing only come from TVDB and looks as the episode was created 23 Jan Emby should of gotten an update from TVDB by new for the show but you would have to check the cache folder for tvdb serieid folder with json file for series. Normally Upcoming has everything for about a week out unless the issue is TVDB api. Just checked my test system as I have Show on it and have this

Known issue, will likely be reverted in subsequent server release.

Hi. Yes, if bluetooth headphones are connected, the app will automatically downmix to stereo.

Hey ! For log you can do this (logging) { log { output file /logs/{args.0}.log { roll_size 10mb roll_keep 3 roll_keep_for 72h } format filter { wrap console fields { request>headers>Authorization delete } } } } emby.domain.com { import logging emby /* [...] */ } sonarr.domain.com { import logging sonarr /* [...] */ } radarr.domain.com { import logging radarr /* [...] */ } And you will have 3 separate log files for each reverse proxy

Ah yes - you're right - you need to press the ok button 7 times on 'About' to enable the option - lol. Gonna do that now - it's being picked up on Monday so have a few days to play ..

So it's arrived - after some testing, it's gone back in the box and being returned to Amazon .. In summary - No DTS-HD HRA, DTS-HD MA or DTS-HD X support from the tested release Emby FireTV App Only DTS (5.1) passthrough was working (5.1 lossy Audio) THD Passthough is fine - 7.1 with Atmos No Way to sideload an APK (so I could not try the latest versions nor Android(non TV) version. Could not get any form of DV to trigger either - DV5,7 or 8 - only HDR triggered. (DV did trigger when powering on, but not in the App..) On the positive side - it is VERY quick navigating emby (Android/Fire TV) - noticeably faster than even the Shield Pro 2019. Ethernet Interface is confirmed at 100Mbit - On Auto it actually forced a transcode with an 87Mbit 4K remux (1917) - forcing to 100Mbit in the Emby App resolved that - but clearly still borderline for high bitrate 4K Remux's. So it's still not comparable to the 4 Year old Shield Pro as a high end player... such a shame as I would have loved to have replaced my Echo Dot and Shield with one device that I can control via Alexa. So other than no AV1 h/w decode - the Shield 2019 is STILL the best option out there for HD Audio and DV Playback.

Okay, so this is an unintended situation that will be dealt with. For the purposes of this FR, there is no "path" to show for an album because it does not relate to anything in your file system. So I'm going to mark that as the answer. Thanks.

Anyone with any sense realizes in the long run Microsoft loses cause they refuse to lean into protecting people's privacy where as with the push back of manifest 3 and the heightened privacy protection on Android starting with the release of Android 12 shows Google is listening to people's push for more privacy.

i can't believe i didn't think to look at that. i never use filters but was playing with them last week. i didn't clear them. thank you so much.

for anyone curious this is the latest video i would consider that absolutely functional, i'd be happy with 10x that delay - just so long as playback is somewhat sync'd adding a programmable offset so you can jog your own client forward or back by 100ms increments would allow for fine tuning (how i sync videos atm is i can sometimes hear the video playing on their end and i'll offset my video by setting it ahead, then double tapping space to pause/unpause until the feedback and my audio are exactly aligned, this ofcourse is not true to life due to latency, but perceptually it is completely sync'd - doing this automatically is difficult, (i suppose you could get playback info and ping NTP server and sync that way though but EVEN WITHOUT THIS, the option to manually input a delay would clear up any other discrepancies) and EVEN WITHOUT THIS i would still use it, it's absolutely functional, if a little rough, but it's a whole lot better than nothing, and that's an understatement

You're not wrong. Not to say that Emby doesn't have a lot of features, but when the free option is catching up it's hard to argue. It sounds like there isn't any product roadmap available?

i'm sure a lot of people like me are using old ipads as emby only players. hope it gets fixed soon

wow, i have been after a feature like this for years, but never really cared until recently, now the requirement for it has come, i find it's still not been implemented i've read the entire thread from the last post to this one and through this to find the thread is still ACTIVE, last post 7 hours ago i've several friends in USA i wish to watch movies with but constantly having to resync when nature calls/other makes it impossible with some whos internet connection is strong enough stream it on discord, although the server is in my house, if it's a movie one of us has seen before, the second-time viewer will stream the movie from my server to their desktop so they get best quality then they re-stream it back to me through discord it's completely absurd even if a few seconds out of sync, even without a whole permissions stack as they've all got admin rights on emby anyway, we're all adults even if it was JUST syncing the play/pause and occasionally checking timeline, even if it just prompted a counter to the one furthest ahead to pause theirs for X seconds to bring them in sync again - even the tiniest ammount of automation to make this task easier would be a godsend jellyfin has something like this already, at this point i'd argue it's in embys interest specially since they recently got featured in an LTT video, i'd also argue the release of such feature might even end up in a another LTT video given the success of the last time he spoke about media servers, 1.2 million views in 1 week btw... if that doesn't scream revenue idk what does

Yes improvements have already been added for the upcoming 4.8 release. Both subtitles and subs folders will be supported, case-insensitive.

this Solution is good.... the Thumbs are now also shown in the correct ratio thx!

Hi, it's there as long as you keep the mouse over the poster, right?

I think it is a problem with the source stream. I see you have another topic about retries that we'll respond to. Thanks.

Let's keep it civil please folks. Devs have already commented that there will be improvements in this area. Thanks!

Hi, could you please add a "Repeat"-button in the single player mode when on track (music) is played for repeating it again and again? BR, Georg

and don't forget all this stupid consent to cookies crap when you click on a website now. we are all here to fuel investor companies.

I did not test it very much, but so far so good with Kodi 20 on an Android TV, using server 4.7.11.0, scan complete normally and able to play!

ah, I knew it! He control "AI" as I am still chatting with "SAL"

it sounds like the guy presenting at the beginning sounds a bit German.... wondering if @softworkz is moonlighting from Emby. Plus.... does his avatar look like another image in this thread..... eek!!

Thinking along these lines. But this would be a good direction for the channel and give some flexibility for the admins

I searched and couldn't really find a matching request. There should be an option to turn off the auto-generation of images for libaries, collections, genres, etc. Ideally it would just use something like a static image with the name. This would help prevent embarrassing situations where a poster image is pulled in that isn't appropriate.

I personally think this needs a re-think. The RFC1918 addresses are private and technically you are going to have issues routing them across the internet - they should not work beyond your own gateway - routers should drop connections that try and use them. Therefore trying to 'accommodate' them is futile - it is the wrong thing to do. They are an RFC standard for a reason ! I believe emby should just change the 'LAN Networks' to be an 'Exception/VPN' range (within RFC1918) where emby simply changes the status from 'Local' to 'Remote' - purely for transcoding policy reasons and nothing more. Change the wording to reflect this - and I think the issue/confusion will be resolved ?

Cuales es el proveedor de metadatos principal en tu servidor? TheMovieDB o TVDB? Recuerda que la estructura de tus archivos debe coincidir con la de tu proveedor de metadatos. También es posible que para esos episodios en especifico aun no haya traducción en la base de datos en de tu proveedor. Además es importante saber como tienes configurado las opciones de idiomas en tu servidor, ya que eso puede variar un poco la fuente de los metadatos.

You could create separate strm library for those items only and enable access when the time comes for the duration as you'd like - and it'd be present on Home Screen and very visible while sorting would be preserved.

That’s very thoughtful Abo and thank you. Yep it can be wild at times, but I’ve moved up in the ranks now and only go on Land Jobs and am the Boss now so i can choose if i go on jobs or send an engineer. Mostly i send an engineer. I let my offshore survival run out in December so doubt i will get on a chopper again lol. so all good my man!!!

A fix has been implemented to seamlessly return back to the app when YouTube trailer playback has concluded. Emby for Apple TV is available in the tvOS app store.

To all users with Emby server 4.8.0.20 and higher. This Emby server version has a performance issue. As a workaround, reduce the paging factor in plugin's sync settings to a very low value. Factor 1 was tested and confirmed working. This slows down the init sync performance, but at least the (init) sync will not run into a timeout. Higher values could work as well, but at some point timeouts will appear. Default setting is factor 70 and this too high for > .19

Hi, I don't have an ETA, but yes, it is still in our plans.

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.

Hi, In order to find easily an item in our large librairies, it could be great to have the possibility to import a playlist from imdb/trakt. This way we could easily create playlists like 10001 movies to see before you die or Academy Award for Best Picture for our current movies in our libraries. Bonus : List all missing movies for a specific playlist I found a script doing this for Plex but can't find how to adapt it for Emby or a way to import Plex playlists to Emby I hope someone will find this useful and want to help implementing this.
