You may have noticed a lot of plugin updates recently. I finally went and did this work for all of our core plugins. TuneIn is a great example of how you can separate your html and JavaScript: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/TuneIn Notice how it has separate js files and then registers them here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/TuneIn/blob/master/MediaBrowser.Plugins.TuneIn/Plugin.cs#L25-L40 You can still get away with doing things the older ways, but you may run into some UI quirks here and there. Additionally, please see if you can drop jQuery from your code altogether, if you are still using it. The web app hasn't been using it for a long time, but we still bundle it for the plugins that need it. At some point later this year I'm plan to remove it and load it from the internet via cdn. That means your page will still work, but it will cause the web app to load jQuery from the internet since it won't be bundled anymore. Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks. @hackthis02 @chef @roaku @Cheesegeezer @MikePlanet @ShaneP @mickle026 @rechigo @TeamB @pünktchen @radeon @VicMoore

i hope you felt as awkward typing that as i felt reading it

Okay, scan is already done. With the backup, the continue watching things are also back. What still needs to be done is the changed metadata. But if I copy the complete program data folder, isn't the library.db also included? So replace everything except the newly created library.db? Edit: Thanks btw to all of you guys, ur amazing! @Happy2Play @GrimReaper @Luke

Yup, that was it. Guys never read instructions ... works perfect now. Thanks

I've been dying to know if this has garnered enough interest to be worked on. I found Emby (MediaBrowser 3 at the time) and its bookshelf plugin while I was searching for something that was like Plex for comics. Plex doesn't do this (and probably never will), Kodi doesn't have what I'm looking for either, and ComicRack seems to be dead at the moment. Unfortunately the bookshelf plugin doesn't work the way I had hoped. I was dissappointed to see it only offer a download to the file to which I can open it to the program of my choosing. Even browsing through the books I only had the option of going through folder-like directories and couldn't browse by author like the people section in the other media types. I would love for it to be fully integrated into Emby where I can open and read a comic right on my phone and tablet or even my web browser as I could with my movies and tv shows. Also, I hope to god somone is working on the "Games launching in android" feature you mentioned on your up-for-grabs blog post. That would be awesome!

It appears that any playlist that any user creates is public--all other users can see it. I can appreciate the benefit of a public playlist. I could create a playlist called "Harv's Favorite Horror Films" for example, in case other users are interested in checking out what I like. However, the way most of my users are using playlists is to keep track of things they want to watch in the future. They are typically things that the user has not watched yet, so it's not meant as a recommendation to others, just as a way of them personally keeping track of what they want to watch. Having that kind of playlist be public is of questionable benefit to other users. Additionally, it is not clear when you create a playlist that other users will be able to see it. That has the potential to cause some embarrassment. He hasn't created one yet, but I wouldn't want to see my nephew's "movies to fap to" playlist, for example. If I could make a suggestion, I would suggest associating each playlist with the user who created it, and giving that user the ability to make the playlist private or public. For example, the following two checkboxes could be shown when creating or editing a playlist: Allow other users to see this playlist Allow other users to edit this playlist Initially, both checkboxes would be unchecked. Since another user cannot edit a playlist they cannot see, the second would be allowed to be checked only if the first were also checked. (You could grey it out to make that clear.) Depending on your UI preference, it could also be a drop-down menu. Playlist visibility: (Only me | all users can view | all users can view and edit) Thanks for considering this.

i have thousands of obscure things... lots of shorts, things not on imdb, alternate versions of things etc.. and every time i have to move and redo my setup/re-import everything i have to spend days identifying things in my movie library... but there is no real way to do it... have to manually add an image and name etc... with plex i can just click one button UNMATCH and it removes the usually misidentified match/metadata and replaces it with the thumbnail and filename. just finding the mismatched items that aren't on imdb is a full days work ; ) : ( i'd kill for an unmatch button : )

Not sure if this is a known issue related to the beta but since 12.08.2022 email notifications have not been working. I have already tried uninstalling the plug-in, restarting Emby, re-installing the plug-in and restarting Emby. When I go in to "+ Add Notification" I get the attached pop-up and when I click "Email" the pop-up just disappears and nothing happens. Has anyone else seen this / have any troubleshooting recommendations? I am running (on Synology NAS): Emby 4.8.0.21 | Email Notifications Plug-in 3.1.7

Yes that should be fine. Also just keep in mind that using arrow functions will limit your support to browsers that support that (which yes I know has strong support by now). But something to consider anytime you want to use newer language features. Using BaseView right now is not essential at this point.

Sorry I can't help myself:

@Cheesegeezer 2023-03-24 13:36:49.556 Error Auto Movie Version Collections: AutoCollections: NewItemTimerCallback - fatal error: Method not found: 'MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.BaseItem.GetTopParent()'.

Well the Infuse plugin is breaking for the same error, so the quick and dirty fix would be to put this method back. But ideally, if the developers are around to make changes then this method should no longer be used. We're trying to do better to accommodate libraries with overlapping paths, e.g. (/movies and /movies/kids), and dropping the whole top parent construct was part of that. So I'm around to consult on what to change to.

Yes, it is in the latest version. Our image should work out of the box, if you have issues, you should make sure your pi's eeprom is up to date (sudo rpi-eeprom-update -a). As for hw recommendation, as far as SBCs go, the only ones we test right now are the Pi 3 and 4, any variation of the 4 should work fine (be it the 400, or the CM4), make sure to pick a model with at least 4GB of RAM. 2GB tend to fill up rather quickly with electron, not to mention video memory is shared with the system memory (configured to 128MB in our image).

I honestly don't know. We have three different image processing libraries depending on the platform being used, and I don't know which frame any of them grab. The first one is probably a good bet. Creating a new image type for this could be a possibility. I hadn't thought of that, but now that the idea has been brought up, there are reasons why it might make sense.

You can lend your support here:

They're all on the way up now. Thanks.

pretty sure might be already planned but posting just in case and would be interesting for futur

Yep Images will vary.

Oh, awesome! Thanks! I just checked for updates and it seems to have been fixed in 1.1.472.70!

HI, yes I found a regression and submitted an update to the Windows store yesterday, so be on the lookout for it. Thanks.

Hi @Luke, this is what did the trick for me:

That you would restore from Backup plugin.

it doesn't sound like you have the most basic of built in security setup.. are you saying any stranger can get to your media today? If yes.. you need to make sure every account has a password and is required to use it.

Hi, being able to pick what libraries show up there is planned for future updates. Thanks.

Same story. I'm afraid you'll have to rebuild, as suggested above.

The errors in your log are indicate of going back and forth between beta and stable. This is not supported, so you may want to consider deleting the library database and making a fresh start.

Yes it will.

That's what the Emby login is for. Adding SSL would prevent (the very unlikely) sniffing of access to your server, which could expose the logins and passwords; easy to add, and so a no-brainer. You can avoid publicising your domain name and use an unusual port for Emby - but that can't prevent random scanning finding it eventually. You can hide login names for external access (Emby setting) to make it harder for anyone who reaches the login page. You could limit external access by client IP address, if you know them, and they are fixed (which is unusual if using mobile devices); Emby can do this by network, and a reverse proxy would offer many more specific options (including geographic ones). You can limit the devices that your users can use to those you know are theirs (an Emby setting). If external access is only by browser, you could use a reverse proxy to impose a basicauth login before showing the Emby login page (the clients don't know about that, so wouldn't be able to operate with it). Using a VPN can hide your identity as an Emby user, but doesn't address the other issues. Using Tailscale or Zero Tier and installing on all your users' devices can make them all appear to be local to your network, and thus enable you to block all "external" access in Emby; that might be the nearest to what you want, I guess. ...just a few thoughts. But anyway, why do you feel the login is insufficient? Paul

To secure your server, an SSL setup is required. First thing to decide is whether you want reverse proxy (not mandatory) to handle it or not. Either way, number of related Guides/How-to's pinned in General/Windows and also around various forum sections (Search is your friend). Examples: No reverse proxy: Reverse proxy: Once you choose desired method, if any issues encountered, you can post in related thread.

Release 20230323: ATSC3 models: Fix problem where channel scan may not detect some ATSC 3.0 channels. ATSC3 models: Fix problem where channels using MMTP transport may fail to tune or stall shortly after tuning. ATSC3 models: Fix problem where one or more elementary streams such as audio may be missing. ATSC3 models: Fix problem where ATSC 3.0 HD channels were not detected as HD by the channel scan. IPv6 models: Support detection via IPv6 site-local multicast. Record models: Support discovering tuner and record engines via IPv6 site-local multicast when an IPv6 global or site-local IP address is present. Record models: Upgrade to 64-bit identifiers for recorded files. Firmware Changelog

I mean that my server currently has no protection at all. It would be good but other members of my familly may access it, and it's going to be hard to install the VPN and teach them how to use it

This is the general thread mate I'm sure a mod will move this....

Make sure you are using the MediaInfoCLI executable. It sounds like you are pointing to the GUI version ? Maybe take a look here - section 1 - initial Setup :- https://github.com/Cheesegeezer/MediaInfoWiki/wiki edit - yes, ensure the MediaInfo.exe is the CLI version. My advice would be to download it and then rename it to mediainfocli.exe - and then point the Plugin at that.

As of right now the issue has not reoccurred but i also don't know how i would test my system since it seemed to happen sporadically

@acnp77Kodi is built against the system ffmpeg, while Theater uses our own libmpv build. HW accel on the various pis is a huge rabbit hole, and while it mostly works with the system tools, we only recently finally got it to work on the pi 3 and 4. It probably works on the pi 2 as well (although we didn't test it), but there is a huge difference between Kodi and Theater, Kodi is pure C++ and very lightweight, whereas Theater is built on top of Electron. Electron was not designed to run on low powered devices and the pi 3 can barely handle it, so anything below that is guaranteed to be unusable, whether HW accel is working or not.

profiles each movie/tv show can be allocated a profile post processing - yes. conversion to utf8 would have avoided an issue i saw posted just yesterday

I use embedded tags (including images) to drive audiobooks and it seem to workout ok for me. All of my audiobook are .m4b so there's usually only 1 track (they have embedded chapter info but emby only picks that up when you play). I guess it's all about how you use the tags to your advantage, I'll give you a example of harry potter (Artist/Album/Track).. Obviously the Artist and album folders have to be named exactly as in the tags.. Artist view.. Folder view... Also here is a audiobook .m4b with multiple tracks.. Folder view... It can be a bit time consuming to get it to the way you like it.

Hello, Just a headsup to anybody doing this as a service. My problems seem to have come from the fact that i was pinting emby server to MAPPED NETWORK LOCATIONS. This does not work, I had to use the entire network address of the folders. Cheers!

Yep, sure - give it a go and report back your experience.

I have same problem with same equipment. My Shield Pro has Emby v 2.0.83g. Should I sideload your standard android app (arm7 version) onto the Shield Pro?

Only thing I can think of is the client is not reaching the Emby admin server to validate.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I came across it while searching for some info on external subtitle support. I'm glad to see that you're open to the idea of adding support for .sup subtitles in the future. It's always great to have developers who are responsive to user feedback and willing to improve their product. [redacted] Anyway, thanks again for considering external subtitle support. It's great to see developers who are willing to listen to their users and make improvements.

Hopefully that will be soon!!!

Hi, it should be resolved for the next build. Thanks.

Ok Thank you

You're talking about stable, I would already be glad if I would get a new beta that fixes the Special folder issue and my thumbnail extraction issue...

HI, not currently, but we can look at adding this. Thanks.

a very long outstanding request. particularly in relation to music videos where the matching is far too enthusiatic
