True and would rather the DEV provide a different answer (but they will not blatantly say NO for a feature that will happen in the future. When is never known.), but these requests go on a to do list that changes with every build in reference to priority. So where some would call this a high priority others would say why I don't need it so low priority. Are there other areas that should have priority over playlist yes, but everything can't be done at once and changing already designed features almost always breaks other areas. As a paying customer has absolutely nothing to do with features that do not exist. So it will be ready when it is ready. As you would just as peeved if a beta went out the broke many other areas just to have this feature that I don't believe the majority will every use.

Which is all well and good, but honestly the people requesting features would rather have the basic feature they've requested in a reasonable time frame, instead of waiting years for you to overhaul multiple features of the same category. 32nd of Neverember

When I try to login with emby connect it just redirects me back to manual server page with emby connect login link. I can't seem to login either, just created my account "chovyfu" today.

Would like to request GPU transcoding support for the Intel ARC A770 GPU cards if not already in the works? With Intel getting serious about mid market (reasonably affordable) GPU's & the ability to work in tandem with the onboard Intel GPU (Intel Deep Link Technologies). I managed to pick up an Intel ARC A770 yesterday & installed it on our Emby Server (loaded all of the ubuntu drivers, etc.) but Emby Server is not recognizing the Arc A770 as a transcoding option. I'm assuming that support has not yet been added to it? We run a docker setup & we're happy to run beta testing if that would be helpful. Server: Ubuntu Server 22.04.1 LTS, Docker, NVME, i9 11900K, 128GB DDR4, Intel Arc A770 16GB Storage: 2x Synology DS1821+, 90TB, 10GbE SFP+ Network: Ubiquiti 10GbE Clients: Fire Stick 4K & 4K Max, Roku, LG & Samsung Smart TV's Best- Darren

Would be nice to have the ability to shift the Live TV Guide forward and back a set number of hours for those who have guide providers that do not sync up with the current time.

I looked for a previous request and I did not find one, if this is a duplicate please feel free to merge I would like to have better search tools, especially for the music library. Today i was searching for a specific song by title in the Emby client. I entered the title of the song and sorted the results by songs. I was still being shown results because the album name had the same keyword in it. This limited the results shown and did not show the song(s) I was looking for because of the number of false positives under song sorting

Hello Have been using emby for years and have learned so much over that time in setting up and maintaining my media server. I have my movies and tv shows working without problems and since the upgrade decided to add my music. I am halfway there and so far I am a happy camper. My suggestion though is for sorting. When you click Album Artists and then choose an artist, then choose albums, you have all the albums showing and the options above them to sort. You then have options on how you want to sort, which is great. The issue is however you choose to sort, it is that way for every artist. I would like the option to choose how to sort per artist, especially for various artists and soundtracks. Most of the artists I sort by year anyways so not that big of a deal, however for various artists and soundtracks would be nicer to choose by title. I know I can do this every time that I open that artist however It is a pain to keep switching back and forth especially with a large collection. Thanks

True as server log would be needed to show the connection and ffmpeg to better see what it is doing but can be seen in server log. But sounds like Client quality Auto may be a factor. @Samus512

I just bought premiere and the theater app fixed almost all my playback errors. only having a playback transcoding issue with one movie so far. it says the bit rate is too high so its transcoding down

Doh! That's what it was. Thank you @GrimReaper!

Guys, Vertical is the same as you're seeing now.

User settings>Display tab>Display mode change to: TV, afterwards User settings>Home Screen tab, TV mode home screen change to Horizontal.

It is Display Display mode: TV and Home Screen TV mode home screen: Vertical. Note TV mode requires Premiere.

Just a bit of perspective on the time frame. As of today this request only has 35 likes so it's not exactly super popular or in high customer demand. It wasn't until almost 2 years ago that the 20th person commented in the thread. This of course is only one of many metrics, but I think it shows why other things were done before it as they had a bigger following. Regardless of popularity any idea we think improves Emby will likely make it into the product at some point. If the item is highly popular it will likely get done sooner than something else , all things being equal. By that I mean there is no prep work or foundational work needed first. Even a super popular request might get pushed to later with other requests done first if foundational work should/needs to be done first. For example, both collections and playlists stored their information in text files vs a database and we had both already planned to migrate to a database. We did exactly that for Collections and it takes a lot of design, planning and especially testing to make sure things migrate smoothly for the userbase. We could have followed up the Collection migration right away with a playlist migration, but we also knew we had music library changes planned to improve the music library. Since music is a big part of playlist use it only makes logical sense to do the music changes before any playlist changes. The release that included collection changes and the release including the music changes were the two longest beta cycles I can remember in a long time and maybe the two longest ever. Those two releases really needed to be done first to pave the way for the playlist changes requested. Beside these two completed items there is additional foundational type work that needed to be done in order to have a concept of public vs private access. On top of that you need to have another layer of permissions management in place that isn't limited to admins but controllable by users to grant other users access to their lists or to make them available globally. You need admin control over what a user is allowed to do or not allow to do with playlists. You need the server APIs to understand these new permissions so that search results, displays and any other use of data understand public vs private and be able to quickly apply filters based on these new permissions. If you follow Luke's posts recently, you'll see comments and questions on this new layer of permissions and how they might be handled in the UI. Some users following along probably already understood how it would fit in, as it's one of the last needed pieces to make this type of control over playlists a reality. Hopefully most will understand we design something like this to be useful throughout the system for use with future improvements and new features and not just add it for only one part of the system such as playlists. The logical first use of this is of course new Playlist functionality. So, while you might say the request is 5 years old. I could just as easily say it really wasn't a request with much support behind it until about 2 years ago and we have been working on the foundation of Emby to make this and some other requests possible. The reality of this is probably somewhere in the middle of those two points of reference with the team laying the groundwork needed to add this functionality. Hopefully this gives you a different perspective on things as the team did really like this request and have been working on things behind the scenes for quite a while to make this happen. Carlo

I'm almost done with a docker image that should simplify useage. I'll post a link as soon as i'm done.

I would assume you would have database issues as there are major changes. Plugins should fail also as you would have to downgrade them normally to compatibility issues but will vary per plugin. As core plugin come in each version.

That works! I had to uninstall as I was on 4.8 beta but it appears to be working now. Thanks!

Success! I found several thread posts that talk about lowering volume while increasing amplification in Kodi. After fumbling around, I finally found it. While actually playing any video content, go to settings, audio, then in that menu, there are options to adjust these variables, and from that menu, can apply the change to all playback videos. So finally, I can watch something on Kodi that doesn't blast my ear drums one moment, then can't hear a thing the next so one down, a few more issues to go.

Not an urgent issue, I have it working, but just to post my experience. I know this is still in the development stage.

Multi channel aac - especially 7.1 is also likely to introduce problems. I would personally run with a AAC 2.0 as the Default track, and add a 2nd multi-channel track for maximum compatibility with all clients - keep the original HD or if you want it lossy, then I'd say EAC3 is the new accepted 'standard'.

That is client dependent, and not all clients support same format. Most common though would still be AVC/AAC, though nowdays I recon majority would also support HEVC/AAC. As said, as it depends on number and variety of your clients, you might find some more combinations that would direct play accross all of them, like HEVC/AC3.

We really can't win here as when we do this (or even when we try not to) we get complaints with people saying "why would you implement X without Y and Z - that's just stupid" (I read one of those just this morning). Yes, because it requires some changes to some very fundamental parts of the system - which then ripples out everywhere. We finally were able to undertake that and, since we are, we are trying to design a more complete feature (of course, it won't really be complete, but we'd like to get it very usable).

If anyone is interested, I created added a compare_and_update function to m3u2strm with a couple more variables. This cuts down on re-writing the strm files on every run when nothing has changed about the existing file. Read Me and code -> https://github.com/hooray4me/m3u2strm

They also did not describe that this FR will be 5 years in the waiting room...

Bwahahaha! I'm dumber than a rock. I suspected I was way over thinking it. I don't see the three dot thing, but the right click thing definitely works. Thanks.

Okay. Good info. Bare with me while I try to figure out why that is happening. One other question, where are the files stored? Are they on a NAS somewhere?

Have you checked the embedded metadata within your audio file?

HI, we found a solution and this will be resolved in Emby Server 4.8. If you need immediate relief we'll have a new 4.8 beta server with the fix sometime in the next few days.

Hi, the challenge is that this is all computed on the fly, so that's why we generally try to stay away from indicators on folders, because everything underneath has to be examined in order to determine the display.

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

If you are scripting - then maybe use the -o template from yt-dlp to format the output before processing - attributes like the Playlist Index etc can then be used to name it how you see fit - and if you match the emby requirements, then it should be picked up by emby ok. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#output-template

*Done*

Naming scheme should be okay as it is "02 Episode Name.ext" but would guess conditions of a Season folder as would not identify if not in my test. @Lukewould have to comment but yes numbers in episode name can create issues with multi-episode but the number should never be smaller than the first. TV The Tale of the Dragon Lord Season 1 The Tale of the Dragon Lord - Episode 76： Discord 2.0 [1ZXRMArFl1s].strm But metadata is correct Nfo has episodenumberend <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <episodedetails> <plot /> <outline /> <lockdata>false</lockdata> <dateadded>2023-03-11 15:31:57</dateadded> <title>Discord 2.0</title> <year>2023</year> <sorttitle>Discord 2.0</sorttitle> <tvdbid>9627751</tvdbid> <uniqueid type="tvdb">9627751</uniqueid> <episode>76</episode> <episodenumberend>2</episodenumberend> <season>1</season> <aired>2023-02-17</aired> <fileinfo> <streamdetails /> </fileinfo> </episodedetails> Tested on .22

Hello Luke, same experience as @NXLTrauma25after updating to DSM 7.2. Emby 4.8.0.21-beta immediately crashes after startup. Any chance of a DSM 7.2 compatible 4.8.0.21 version or later soon? If logs or the likes are needed I'm happy to help. Cheers

Several naming conventions are supported for naming episodes: https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159110-tv-naming If you don't adhere to those or provide files named in such a manner that they might be interpreted as one of the supported ones - I'd say it's only natural to expect that you'll encounter issues.

Ciao grazie Luke risolto ... Sono entrato nel ruter e praticante ho eliminato indirizzi IP collegato a emby ,poi automaticamente coleggandomo con il pc e andato con il nuovo sever NY da pc

Hey guys, Because of my home renovations and my first baby arriving in one month, the development of EmbyStat is slacking A LOT. I don't have that much time to develop for it, although I did invest some time in improving the existing features. I cleaned up my code as well, and stabilized the sync code a lot. But the most fun new feature is that I implemented the play sync, meaning you can see graphs on what type of media is seen when. This is still in early development, and I'm not sure when I will create a new beta deploy for you all to test. I wish I had more time or a second dev working on the project, so progress would be much faster.

Single Item Views We're getting somewhere... This was the first of the remaining three areas, so: 1 down, 2 left. WMC_ItemsView.mp4

Did a remote session this evening with warrencalvert and got him squared away. Just a slight mismatch of directories and library use, but all is good now.

Hi. If a long press isn't working for you, just use the "cog" button on the OSD and turn off the "Stats for Nerds".
