This is just about what is going to be displayed where. Internally it's all in place in all detail and won't need any refactoring for the next 10 years.

It has been somewhat impossible for quite a while because there doesn't exist a public specification. Eventually, it wasn't JF but Niklas Haas (libplacebo) who did all the reverse engineering and was able to come up with a working implementation in libplacebo (using Vulkan hw context), that's why MPV player was the first which could do it. The others just ported that implementation - so kudos to whom it actually deserves. When we do it, though, we don't just want a partial solution that works under specific conditions only, but something that is working for all users - which means: all hwa's and possibly CPU (using vector extensions like sse, avx, ...). "All hwa's" means at least CUDA and OpenCL, so we're talking about three implementations. The difficulty is not in porting the logic but doing it in a fast and performant way. This takes time. You crawl into a dark cave for a few weeks until you get it all perfect. Or you wait until somebody else does it...

Yes, it "just" needs to be implemented.

As the plugin has the option to - I think Emby needs to display all the HDR profiles available as this likely means a lot more than the DV 'Profile' (to the average user - AV Enthusiasts will want to see the profile etc - they can use the Plugin .. ) So if it's DV7 or DV8 - then it should say 'DV+HDR10' (ie it WILL tonemap & transcode ok) - if it's DV5 - then it should just say 'DV Only' (maybe) - and consequently will not tm or transcode ok. This should give the users a 'Clue' - when they try and play DV on their non-DV compatible TV etc.

seeing how musicbrainz picard has taggend my music, the `date` field is filled with 2009-10-28, the `originaldate` field contains 1973-10-19. I can say for myself that I do not care when the certain physical release was made, but for sorting and display the `originaldate` is much more useful. For re-releases later on, the `originaldate` is the same for the same album, the `date` is not.

I would suggest opening separate topic for your issues as this is not a troubleshooting thread.

TL;DR Ubuntu actually make it really easy to install the right nvidia drivers however there are separate packages for NVDEC & NVENC so you need to find the right packages. The magic sauce (at the time of writing) is... sudo apt install nvidia-headless-525-server nvidia-settings nvidia-utils-525-server libnvidia-decode-525-server libnvidia-encode-525-server Background I'm running Emby in a VM (on TrueNAS SCALE). I decided to add a GPU and PCI passthrough for hardware accelerated transcoding. All the advice on the Emby pages say that you should install the nvidia driver from the nvidia homepage and NOT from the package manager. I couldn't get this to work and it felt wrong as I wouldn't get automatic security patches. There seemed to be other users on the forums that had installed an entire xserver dekstop on their VM's just to get the drivers to work. I was adamant that I wanted to use the package manager. Nvidia drivers can typically be installed with a simple... sudo apt install nvidia-headless-525-server ...however that obviously didn;t work. You have to specifically install the nvidia libraries for NVDEC & NVENC... sudo apt install libnvidia-decode-525-server libnvidia-encode-525-server ... the rest is just gravy which give you tools like `nvidia-smi`... sudo apt install nvidia-settings nvidia-utils-525-server I hope this is of use to someone else.

@gtali7878 You really need to cease creating topics titled "question", as you were already advised in this very thread. Currently there are 5 topics named so + 1 more already renamed by another Mod within last few days alone. Just... stop.

We'll try to get to it. Thanks.

Sure, DM me, or ping me over at thegreenbutton.tv under the same name...

@rbjtech thanks so much for this tip. I have wondered for some time about how this is done. You have taught me a new trick and that made my day. Vic

No need for that. There's a portable version (no installation, just unzip). Will be interested what you think about it. I might also have some questions when you were so closely involved..

That's incredible @cayars. Definitely helps that it's part of your day job.

This thread is ridiculous. Was searching for the Emby Alexa skill and couldn't find it, so I came here for answers. But the only answer @Luke is giving is: "We are working on it". For more than 2 years now. So was it a lie? Because I can't see why the translation of an already existing Alexa skill can be that hard of a task, that it takes more than 2 years to achieve. Instead, we get these non-answers. And as others pointed out, this is an advertised Premiere feature. Which makes this thread even more embarrassing. Also bitte mal Klartext. Da wär ich sehr verbunden.

It should definitely be option to use one or the other

ok looks like that fixed it!! Getting new episodes imported now automagically. tysm!! And now it seems to be working again. this is really confusing

Don't forget what is probably their #1 feature to reduce issues with streaming. Edge Servers Companies like Netflix will install as many edge servers as possible directly in large ISP networks as well as peering points. Many people's Netflix streaming traffic never touches the internet at all and basically runs off their ISPs network or peering point. That lowers the latency as well as saves bandwidth which easily pays for the edge servers. A caching CDN will be the next best thing as the streaming data will be regionally based and likely collocated at a local peering point. It may not have the full catalog available but will have the popular and most streamed media available. The CDN will normally fetch the complete media file once you've started playing it and due to it's bandwidth it can fetch and have it ready to use from cache very quickly. By the time you've downloaded the first couple segments the CDN will have enough that you'll only be pulling from the CDN's local cache. @schamane, edge servers and caching CDN servers make a huge difference as it physically puts the storage as close as it gets to the end user often avoiding the internet completely. This greatly lowers the latency. Contrary to what you might think you're VPN use is likely making things worse by requiring additional bandwidth as well as adding latency. It takes time to decrypt and encrypt packets as well as take additional time to transmit as the encryption adds on average 10 to 15% more data. The VPN tunnel itself will reduce the amount of data that can be carried as well which means you require more packets sent/received (adds latency). A VPN IPSec Tunnel with an Encrypted IP GRE Tunnel can increase the size by 40%! https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/generic-routing-encapsulation-gre/25885-pmtud-ipfrag.html A VPN will always reduce available bandwidth, take longer to transmit and have higher latency. Thos are the 3 things we are trying to reduce!

Welcome! I've been 7 years MVP (but for Win API and C++). Do you like to join the testing?

In both the container swap and/or deinterlacing, you should get an associated ffmpeg log file - this will give all the details on what it's doing. Deinterlacing is always server side.

I agree with this. Specific profile levels should be shown in the media info section perhaps but as general display most end users won't know which profile means what. I also don't agree as I'm sure most of the people "investing" in a DV TV did so because the sales guy at the store said "You want Dolby Vision. Its better."

Thanks look, i will double check when i get some time... Lambing has started, snow is in full effect.. trying to keep the cows, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats all happy.... as well as keeping Mrs.Cheese happy too hahaha

Personally, I would maybe like to see the DV logo and just write the profile behind in text. That would look quite slick and make it quite easy to see at a glance!

How do you think emby is doing it ? It is using the mediainfocli tool and mkvtoolnix that you specify in the config. This is actually the original way I did it (via a script that just recursively read the files) - before collaborating with @Cheesegeezer to turn it into a plugin. Your issue is permissions - I'm not sure we can help you any further - it works for everyone else, so we are out of ideas I'm afraid.

Ah yes, was just working through that. DB size is 272281600, so that's roughly 260mb. After vacuuming its 199626752, so roughly 190mb. So that's a nice 30% decrease. I've upped the cache to 400mb. Lets see how that goes.

When was the last time you vacuumed your database? Also, if you have ample RAM - you might want to tweak your DB cache size -- see this tutorial:

Thank You...updated & working Still no digital signature as mentioned

some interesting thing i found if library out of order, rescan library nor reupdate top-picks will not fix the order. to get correct order for all in top-picks library again: Need to manually delete top-picks data on data folder Perform library scan to empty top-picks library content. Need to ensure the library is empty before proceed. Re-Update Top-picks . this will get library order sorted out (for my case).

Hi all, Been messing with my library images over the last few days and decided to share my creations. There are 57 individual images with 6 variations of each: light grey light grey with green border light grey with red border dark grey dark grey with green border dark grey with red border I'll be happy to add more to the collection if anyone wants anything specific and I can use an appropriate icon to do it. Made with 750 pixel high res icons from Icons 8. Cheers ! 750px_Colour.zip

Are these intended to be remote users (outside of your home) - or local users? If remote, please follow this guide step-by-step to configure remote access: https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44002137137-remote-setup Also please, you have already been asked to create more meaningful Topic Titles, almost all of your topics have the same title of "question" and it becomes very confusing for anyone to help you when all your topics look the same.

Thank you so much sir really appreciate it

<Merged topics> Please @gtali7878 let's avoid having the same discussions across many different topics. Thanks.

As far as this request, yes this has come up before, regarding Cinema Intros, and it's something we can look at. Although it's tricky because you could have other collections, for example, you could have a collection called Favorite Movies, but you wouldn't necessarily want to exclude all of those.

HI, not yet, but this is on our to do list. Thanks.

Thanks Happy2Play. After I rebooted the Netgear router and then the Unraid server, the system is operating well for over 3 hours now - which is much longer than I had before.

well after 6 + hours last evening to no avail, this morning i checked cabling only to find from the modem i connected to port 4 instead of port 1, connected wan port to router, waited for isp dhcp to release 30min later we are up and running. Thanks to all

@LukeHi, I would love more control with video conversion. Being able to select what resolution will be output would be great. Bit depth control. Audio channel control. maybe an option to select bitrate types like constant bitrate.

I saw it after the fact @luke. That's why I felt silly posting this.

Yes sir it does. I was out yesterday and unable to test, I have just tried it on the mobile device, it has stopped prompting me to select a server and just worked. So for reasons I cannot understand other than what you helped me with it's all working - so thanks for your help

Wow, very nice, you are really nailing the look and feel. Impressive looking Still a Windows Media Center user here, have everything working perfectly (4K HDR movies, free guide data, YouTubeTV, gaming Modern/Retro, Music, etc) with an eth-6 cablecard tuner. Everything is scripted out to make sure it runs perfectly. I do pop on here time to time to see what is new. I will be watching this, maybe it's time to try something new.... I was a Microsoft MVP on Windows Media Center for 3 years, I was on their beta program, a mulit time bug bash winner. I'm even certified in, So, I know Media center very well

Count me in Still got a remote

The strange thing is. I carry a Stick with me, which is connecting to my home via vpn, so all traffice goes the same way, no peerings of netflix etc. have an effect. Streaming netflix or prime works like a charm and I get a reliable stream with a good HD quality. Roughly transfering 4 mbit in every direction, my upload is also much bigger, so no bottleneck on that side Streaming live tv or even a recorded movie via the installed emby client is not working stable even with dropping the quality to 2 Mbit. I get that live tv maybe an issue cause of peering and the need of a stable connection etc. (even if prime has no issue with that) but streaming a file should work, cause the client should be able to buffer like netflix or prime does, but emby just seems unable to buffer enough, even if I pause for a moment it's not getting better. It's like emby isn't buffering at all. I would really like to understand that. And Cayars is right, there is also just a single connection to netflix, looked into it with tcpdump

Just to confirm that the problem was a bad TV tuner card. The problem occurred again and I could see that one of the two tuners was failing to record. I disabled it in NextPVR and recordings worked OK for a while then the other tuner started failing as well. I have now binned the TV tuner card and replaced it with an HDHomeRun with which I'm very happy.

Sorry for the delay been away.... yes it has helped, i made 2 mistakes, dont tell my wife as i keep telling her i never wrong lol.... 1. my share drive was not setup correctly i shared root dir instead of creating dataset, 2. created ACL for emby we are up and running thanks to all......

Yes, you nailed it! So for his server he has it save all of the cover info and everything else and on mine it will be set to not save anything also using port 1234 instead of 8096. This is a great option for my household and it allows me to save money each month instead of paying $120 a month for satellite tv which I now cancelled. In place of that will be a $15 a month iptv service and pay my cousin $30 a month for the power and managing it making sure everything has cover art and works good. Over time less than a year the computer I bought and the emby premiere will have paid for itself. Thank you to all who answered my questions this was a great help, this emby software allowed me to cut my bill in more than half. Thank you.

Ok grazie mille di tutte le informazioni

How did Emby know to put the red recording dot right there? It is right on center of the guy's nose! Are you using AI now?

As asked previously, please refrain from creating multiple topics with the exact same question, thanks.

I've got a bit of everything with with 24 bay cases, 8 bay cases, 2 WD NAS, Synology NAS, dozen or so USB3 Externals. Some are located in my non attached garage for backup and some are primary.
