Any way to add a song play count like in itunes? Thanks.

after i rename to 2019.S01E01 emby completed full esp. Thanks

I just ran manually on stable, and the images are gray. My guess at the moment is that ffmpeg 5.1 fixed something.

Yeah, the thinking was to call out your HD content - back when that was relatively rare. So anything without a res icon would be SD. Didn't seem necessary to explicitly show that.

@JunglejimI just posted 0.0.1.11 and it has all of the backgrounds removed. The background will be what you select in the theme settings. Is this what you had in mind - I like it better also. vic

@JunglejimI can make the background whatever you like. I will put it back the way it was. Vic

Hi, yes it’s something that needs to be added.

As I'm transitioning from Volumio and Plex to Emby to centralize my usage to one app, the one thing I'm missing the most is gapless playback. This is particulary annoying when listening to albums like "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd. I'm experiencing a buffer of about 1 second in between songs, which really ruins the immersion. Would be awesome if this would be implemented in both the Chromecast, and web player.

Pretty simple suggestion. I have multiple users for my Emby server. If I want to do continuous maintenance on the media, I have to tell everyone. some of them are harder to reach than others ( i.e. no Facebook or Skype chat etc. ) It would be great if say... on the admin panel, I could hit a check box that enables 'maintenance mode', where the server still runs does everything as normal, but instead of the login screen it displays a maintenance page saying the server is unavailable. Even better if I were able to directly put a reason in a text box that would then display on the login screen as well. Not really sure what others would think of this, but for me it would be quite helpful. mostly if I want to make sure no one is trying to access content I know won't work until I've done a full library scan again. Thanks for reading. -Kyle

Hello with the new update i have a giant list of MP3 playlists that overtake my screen on the left column where manage server is. Is there a way to remove this? I click the collapse button and it hides it but next time i am on the screen it's back again. Thank you,

All, I was looking for a slightly-better-than tail -f approach for the Emby log files. I'm no expert with AWK, but played around with ChatGPT to put something basic together. It highlights entries such as datetime, log level, message source, and message using different colors. For the log level, there are unique colors for INFO, WARNING, DEBUG, and ERROR. In the message, it attempts to highlight the "Time:" value, assigning colors for execution time (green is 0-1000ms, yellow for 1000-10000ms, and red for anything slower). I realize these are not only subjective, but context-sensitive. For now, I'm too lazy/unskilled to contextualize this. If you improve the code, please re-share it. If requested, I'll setup a repo on GitHub. #!/bin/bash # Check if a log file was provided as an argument if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "Usage: logfollow <logfile>" exit 1 fi # Store the log file name in a variable LOGFILE="$1" # Start tailing the log file and process each line using awk tail -f "${LOGFILE}" | awk -F ':' ' BEGIN { # Define color codes for terminal output grey = "\033[0;37m"; white = "\033[1;37m"; green = "\033[1;32m"; yellow = "\033[1;33m"; red = "\033[1;31m"; blue = "\033[1;34m"; reset = "\033[0m"; debug_color = "\033[1;90m"; } { # Reconstruct the input line with a colon as the field separator original_line = $0; for (i = 2; i <= NF; i++) { original_line = original_line ":" $i; } # Split the input line into fields timestamp = $1; loglevel = $2; source = $3; message = substr(original_line, length($1 $2 $3) + 4); # Assign log level color based on severity if (loglevel == "Info") { loglevel_color = green; } else if (loglevel == "Warning") { loglevel_color = yellow; } else if (loglevel == "Error") { loglevel_color = red; } else if (loglevel == "Debug") { loglevel_color = debug_color; } else { loglevel_color = grey; } # Find and colorize "Time:" and its value based on the range time_pattern = "Time: [0-9]+ms."; if (match(message, time_pattern)) { time_string = substr(message, RSTART, RLENGTH); # Extract the matched time string split(time_string, time_parts, " "); # Split the time string into parts time_value = time_parts[2]; # Get the time value in milliseconds gsub("ms.", "", time_value); # Remove "ms." from the time value time_value += 0; # Convert the time value to a number # Assign a color based on the time value range if (time_value >= 0 && time_value <= 1000) { time_color = green; } else if (time_value > 1000 && time_value <= 10000) { time_color = yellow; } else { time_color = red; } # Build the colored time string colored_time = sprintf("%s%s%s %s%s%s", white, "Time:", reset, time_color, time_value "ms.", reset); sub(time_pattern, colored_time, message); # Replace the original time string with the colored one } # Colorize the output and print the formatted line printf "%s%s%s %s%s%s %s%s%s %s%s%s\n", grey, timestamp, reset, loglevel_color, loglevel, reset, blue, source, reset, grey, message, reset }' Finally, in my case I created an alias to the logfollow.sh file. This isn't required, but helps make the "Usage" warning make more sense.

thanks for reporting, I know what is causing this, I will have an update up in a few hours

I don't think it matters for max but could be wrong. But ideally 1.5 to 2 times your library.db size.

No problem glad you able to resolve the issue.

I just rebooted my router and everything is working again. Not sure what happened and sorry to waste your time Happy! Feel free to delete this thread if you like.

This system has a network issue as it is failing to communicate with all external servers. Or just taking to log to get a response. The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 20 seconds elapsing.

I have found the culprit: IronVest. Today I put IronVest back on Firefox, which was completely renewed a few days ago, and once again the playlist was inaccessible. I will contact the manufacturer. @https://emby.media/community/index.php?/profile/2-luke/

Agreed - but think the key issue is Win 11 now defaults to Public (the most secure), thus the above 'default' is not gonna work for them.

Isn't that users choice at the time the rule was made. But yes becomes a issue if network status changes.

Not positive if that naming scheme has been added in 4.8. But parsing 2019.E01 can be problematic to what is the season/episode.

Yea, agreed. I think I can wait and see if that indeed is the fix. No need to mess with stable.

Yep almost all grey frames on that file in 4.7 along with screen capture.

They've been talking about a major TV release for literally, years. If it is ever released, due to the leaked large feature set, I suspect that it will have a host of issues that may drive you back to the previous clients for some bit of time. The Emby team are an internally smart bunch in that no feature release schedule has ever been committed to (not even with the granularity of what year something may come out) so there is no expectation or missed deadlines to irritate the user community. However, this is the most frustrating aspect of the Emby product for the users. Vague references to new features, bug fixes, etc., with no apparent delivery schedule. The standard refrain is "we're looking at it". It's no way to run a software shop that's committed to its user community.

SD resolutions (anything <720p) ain't supported at this time. Hopefully some future update might introduce that.

Any further news on this? Visible Playcount would be great

HI, these just got lost in the shuffle of other changes but we are working on improving it. Thanks. hi, you need the updated plugin for combability reasons.

@VicMooreyes, the one you uploaded today, just startet testing when your new reply popped up, so started the test over

The instructions for using the plugin are on the first post. I know it’s not common for people to actually read them, but they are there

@Eigeplackterare you using plugin 0.0.1.11 ? In the latest plugin I tried to use the theme colors as much as possible. You contribute a lot to this project by testing the code and identifying what's not working. Sometimes that takes more time than the coding. Vic

@Luke It seems all my HVEC recordings using the store thumbnails in media folder work. They do NOT work if I don't have that setting checked. Very strange IMO, but at least for me, that appears to be an issue. Edit: And, this has occurred on 2 computers. Both similar in the sense that the media folder is an HDD and the non-media folder where Emby is located is a fast nvme. Don't know why that would make a difference, but thought I'd mention it.

I think you missed the subject Carlo - this is about the Windows Network 'Profiles' - Private, Public and Domain - nothing to do with external access. I haven't checked, but believe Public is not included in the Emby firewall rule (correct) and only Private (local lan's) is. I don't run anything on public, but believe it might also be doing full network isolation (ie even a host on the same lan cannot see/discover each other).. Need to dig a little deeper when I get the time.

I just want to say thank you for the awesome CSS code, and help editing some of it, thanks to it i was able to take my server from the standard boring look of To a look that i love and think looks awesome of

Hi Luke, if you end up adding this feature, give us an option to make the director appear first in order for all contents. Thanks.

So, is this just never going to work on Pixel phones? What's the deal here? Is it the phone or Emby?

I do the same thing @rbjtechwith Drivepool on Windows but now run my main system on Linux. On Linux you can FUSE (overlay) different file systems together which allows you to setup a simple script that runs once an hour moving any file with X extension to the SSD/NVMe. Combine ZFS pools setup to handle different block sizes and you can customize the file system for different file types including use of compression, ARC caching, special devices that can all be fed from Optane drives which are incredibly fast. Be it Windows or Linux a bit of creativity can give you lots of options to be creative in your use of disks and organization of your file system while making it appear to be "normal".

On my ASUSTOR, if I go to: /home/emby from the terminal, it brings me to Emby's install folder.

Sorry, saw some Windows screenshots and saw you mention Windows so I assumed. Well then, if you scroll up on the link I posted you'll also find the Linux locations. Logs should tell you why gpu-next won't load.

Not sure why the images would break as I had no issue with Aug code and your changes. But server log and/or browser console should show errors for the broken images.

You are welcome, let's know how it pans out.

So I gave up on duckdns and went ahead and bought a domain, using cloudflare. With port forwarding from 80 til 8001 and 443 to 44301 it wouldn't work. Changing it to 80->80 and 443->443 it now works. I don't understand why it doesn't work with 8001 and 44301, but at least now it works! So a combination of duckdns and the ports were causing the issues.

It is yes. I have 6 or 7 Dolby Atmos Bumpers and 7 or 8 Dolby TRUE HD Bumpers that I would love to use and have them rotate so on any given movie playback it will pick an ATMOS for that type of movie or TRUE HD for that type etc. With having to make different file names for each one like you said "ATMOS" "ATMOS-1" etc. it will only ever play that first one to match the tag.

Just wanted to follow up with my experience. I installed Emby on my QuTS Hero box via the App Center manual install, after allowing installation of apps without signatures, just the same as on QTS. It has worked just fine so far. No hiccups at all. It is all pretty much identical to my Emby experience on QTS.

Hi, yes improvements to this are possible for future updates. Thanks.

You seem to be trying to conflate Premiere with content itself which has nothing to do with Emby Premiere. Emby (especially with Premiere) is about enhancing YOUR media with organization, enhancing it with metadata, graphics, indexes, trailers, cover-art, cast lists, ratings, etc), and other information directly related to the media. With this information it allows you to do other things like search for a person to see what movies, shows or music is related to them. It can tell you what media you've played, partially watched especially nice for Series as well as help control access to this media so younger kids don't get access to things that are too mature for them. Premiere gives you access to all software and devices we support as well as fully unlocked clients that can access your media from computers, tablets, mobile as well as game systems, smart TV and of course web. Premiere expands Emby's ability to transcode media with the use of hardware GPUs as well as give you brand new features such as Cover-art manipulation to TV/DVR functionality that is smart. You can use hardware tuners for cable or Over the Air (OTA) to Internet streams from M3U files. It allows you to share one inbound stream with many outgoing streams as well as recording it. Premiere provides the best Electronic Programming Guide service in the business and makes this available to you at no additional costs for US, Canada and the UK. The guide alone would cost you $15 to $25 a year if you had to get it elsewhere, plug wouldn't be built in. You may have more content than Netflix has but what good is it if you can't share, search, see graphics, descriptions, cast and be able to play it back from other places then where the media resides? Otherwise at best you have a glorified VCR where all content is only usable on one TV, less you physically move the media to another location. https://emby.media/premiere.html

Here is how Sonarr does it. They used to have one bug in their implementation, which is why i have the automatic cleanup disabled. As it says in the help text, files "older than" the number of days specified are automatically deleted. What that meant in practice was that files were almost always deleted within a day no matter what you set that number to since the last-modification date on a file isn't changed just because you move it and most files in my library are at least as many days old as whatever I might set that number of days to. However, they fixed that with this commit, most easily seen on lines 60-64, and now I think their implementation is just right. I would really like that flexibility with Emby because I want to let my wife delete stuff if she wants to, but I might not always agree! At least the Sonarr/Radarr method would allow her to indicate what she wants to happen and allow me the ability to reverse it if necessary (like the thermostat - haha) since the video file itself wouldn't yet be gone-gone.

I need to come back to that. Would a plugin be powerful enough to add some kind of like / dislike prompt at the end of a movie, which results could be stored in an additional database? I am still very sure that the favorite button won't be used as assumed. Best regards

Thanks Luke, it's all integrated together. Now I can read e-books in Emby via a browser. It' fantastic.... Vic

Hi guys, I created those simple library icons for myself but decided to share - maybe someone will find them useful. Every icon is a PNG file in 1280x720 px. Download link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15SGUccIljBZEysLj-cuMzpJ3I3QOVbIB?usp=sharing

I like Emby but I am frustrated with the need to re-encode (i.e. transcode) many formats. I don't understand why the AppleTV app isn't making better use of the hardware. It can easily decode the media, like the vast majority of devices. I have another app on AppleTV and it handles all the formats I use with no issue. That the Emby app doesn't handle MPEG-2, for example, is both surprising and disappointing. My file server doesn't have a particularly powerful CPU, which is one reason I don't like things being transcoded. But I also don't like the wasted effort, delay, loss of quality and sometimes, loss of sync. What formats *are* compatible (don't need transcoding)? Are efforts being made to improve the apps and move more of the work to the playback device?
