Sounds good. Please try to keep that radius really tight though...

We are working on other things right now but will be circling back to this to look at how best to integrate it. Thanks.

I've just tested the version from your zip file and it works fine regarding the settings menu and also the enter/ok button does pause/unpause video playback again. (Photo quality is still bad though. But I think this version was not supposed to fix that)

MacBooks are a disgrace of an OS!!

I have a good news, after having made a lot of manipulations of restarting of which the docker all works finally! I thank you very much for your patience and your precious help !

STOP this is destructive, back up your playback reporting data first. stop emby server and take a copy of the playback_reporting.db DB before you start. In the query tab run this to get a list of all the tables SELECT name FROM sqlite_master It should give you a list like this PlaybackActivity_20230420_134941 UserList deep_search deep_search_data deep_search_idx deep_search_content deep_search_docsize deep_search_config PlaybackActivity the two tables you are interested in are PlaybackActivity and any table with the date sting in the end like PlaybackActivity_20230420_134941 Edit the following query with the name you have in your above results (DONT USE MINE) INSERT INTO PlaybackActivity SELECT *, "" AS RemoteAddress FROM PlaybackActivity_<TABLE NAME HERE> WHERE DateCreated NOT IN (SELECT DateCreated FROM PlaybackActivity) This will import all the old data into the new table.

So, usually this place is filled with the series/season thumb or an fanart pic. I guess that's okay, no spoilers and all, but it gets boring real quick and to me it would make much more sense to have the episode thumb/screenshot there (maybe with the series logo added somehow). The only way to get it that way, is by deleting thumbs and fanart completely, but the latter are used on different places too, so I want to keep them. How about an option to use ep-thumbs for "continue" and "next up"?

The clients display the Cast & Crew in the order that they appear in the xml file. Sometimes the order that they are in is not what I want and so I would like to change it. Therefore within the metadata editor could a simple up/down arrow be added to each actor so that the order they appear in can be controlled.

Only exception would be when you are chaining proxies, but in that case, you need to configure a secondary proxy in the way that it only accepts headers from known (trusted) proxies but not from direct client requests (= unknown sources).

I don't think that's correct. When a client makes a request, that request never contains such headers. No client is creating such headers normally. It's the proxy which adds those headers before forwarding the request to Emby Server. Only a malicious client would add such headers in order to make it appear to Emby as if the request has gone through a proxy (while that malicious client hopes that there's no proxy in-between). That's why a reverse proxy must drop such headers coming from a client and add its own headers which are pointing to the actual IP address from which it has received the request.

Note that Caddy drops these headers by default; it will only preserve their values (and add its own to them) if you go to the trouble of adding statements specifying what upstream proxies are to be trusted. Paul

Just about to pop a 10yr old bottle of Chianti from Harrod’s lol no time for coding… just happy kitchen party times! lol

Hi, there's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

Been playing with it because I always get some really odd artifacting with H265 and animation. When there's lots of motion the linework goes fuzzy (turns from a line to dots really), and there are other odd effects in scenes with lots of horizontal line work. I have been able to minimize it but if I am re ripping stuff....is there something better? So far - with a few exceptions I have found AV1 better generally for animation than H265. Some early (1940 and earlier Looney Tunes) shows odd effects but production wasn't what it is now either, and its just a few shorts that have problems. As for the wrapper for AV1 there are some significant differences in audio between Webm and mp4 as far as audio. Webm allows use of Vorbis or Opus audio streams - which isn't a deal breaker when dealing with mono or stereo sources as Vorbis is to me, one of the best compression formats . MP4 wrapper allows adding pass through audio streams without compression, which is preferred. Because it's my library I use a single (usually best quality, uncompressed audio stream and unless there are "other" reasons (Hot Fuzz Fuzz Facts) for a subtitles track, I don't usually add them.

Some of these providers use real crappy EPG, I just use either IPTV Boss, Emby Guides, or Zap2It for quality EPG.

I just documented all the steps it took me to set up samba shares on Ubuntu 20.04. The emby directory in /var isn't on the share, only the media files.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll give a try then!

You need to ensure the mounts are owned by the emby user and group. To mount as a user, you need to use CIFS 3.0. I recommend not having writeable guest shares because your data can get locked up by randsomware on any device on your network, protect them with user/pass. Here are instructions to do all of that: First, determine the uid and groupid of your emby user: # Get the emby user's uid: id -u emby # Get the emby user's gid: id -g emby In my example, my emby user was uid 1000, and my emby gid was also 1000. Your's may be different. Then create mount directories for your shares and chown them to emby. Examples of my own commands: # make the directories and give permission for emby to manipulate them mkdir -p /mnt/movies chown emby:emby /mnt/movies mkdir -p /mnt/tv_shows chown emby:emby /mnt/tv_shows mkdir -p /mnt/Music chown emby:emby /mnt/Music mkdir -p /mnt/EmbyData chown emby:emby /mnt/EmbyData If you've already created your mount locations, check that they're the right ownership by using ls -lha. Example: # this will show all the owners of directories and files in my /mnt directory: ls -lha /mnt Here's an example of my own /etc/fstab on Ubuntu 20.04. Make sure your uid and gid matches the values you determined above. Also, use cifs version 3 so that it can be mounted as a particular user (that's missing in your fstab example above): //192.168.10.122/movies /mnt/movies cifs vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.credentials,guest,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0 //192.168.10.122/tv_shows /mnt/tv_shows cifs vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.credentials,guest,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0 //192.168.10.122/Music /mnt/Music cifs vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.credentials,guest,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0 //192.168.10.122/EmbyData /mnt/EmbyData cifs vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.credentials,guest,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0 A text file located at /root/.credentials is like follows, with the user-pass for the network share. I store mine in the /root directory so that regular user can't know the credentials:: username=YOUR_USERNAME password=YOUR_PASSWORD_FOR_SHARE I use a synology NAS, so I needed to make sure that the username configured in /root/.credentials exists, and that each of the shares is accessible by the given samba user. The NAS user needs read/write access so it can write metadata to the media directories. Finally, run the following: # Mount all the shares right away, defined in /etc/fstab. This will be automatic next reboot. sudo mount -a Troubleshooting: Ensure you have samba-common installed: # ensure samba-common is installed so that samba mounts can be performed sudo apt-get install samba-common Test your mounts manually with smblclient, with increased verbosity, to find out what's going wrong when mounting them. Documentation on smbclient.

Yes, I could get MCEbuddy to write out an EDL file, but it's cleaner to have the commercial chapter marks embedded in the video file AND I have 1,000's of tv show episodes that already have the commercial chapter marks. Anyone who uses PlayOn will have these same commercial chapter marks included in their PlayOn recorded videos.

Emby Official Support Tools ... but there are many alternatives that I use - Advanced Log Viewer with an emby log parser is actually much more powerful, but the Emby Support Tools are integrated with the forums to auto download the log files - making it all very quick .. The good news is the logs are a pretty generic 'standard' so most log viewers can likely read (and filter) them live.

Ubuntu only lets the super user (root) to use port 80. You can use ufw to set up rules which will forward port 80 to another port, such as emby. Myself, I use Traefik to reverse proxy https connections to emby server's port, complete with automated SSL certificate generation via let's encrypt. It takes a bit of work to set up but you get a more secure system that can't be attacked by a man in the middle (port 80 isn't secure, people can read passwords plain text in flight).

I should be able to test in a few hours. Thanks.

Okay, thank you!!!

He still need to edit his prometheus.yml and add - job_name: 'emby-exporter' scrape_interval: 15s static_configs: - targets: ["IP:Port"] Other wise Prometheus will not know the data should be found there.

Not tested yet, but as there are no info about performance upgrades, same advise.

Just a quick update... not done anymore dev work because.... i'm setting up a macOSX VM so that i can ensure that Windows, Android and iOS are all playing nicely before i go forward. otherwise i will end up refactoring a hell of a lot of code. it's just taking ages to download and install everything i need to set it up. Cheers

hmmm food for thought. I will take a look, but it wont be for a while, because i'm busy with Client UI development for Audirium and Iridium and i've got a nice groove going on and don't really want to interrupt it. Cheers

Hi @VicMoore@Cheesegeezer, It will be great to get this in the catalog. Movies & TV Shows are working great for me. The music library could still use some work visually but I don't tag music in emby's library so haven't tested it out. I noticed something strange with plugin library's eg. Top Picks. It used to look like this with earlier versions... With the latest code it looks like this.. Do you think we really need access to virtual plugin library's ? It's just a guess but I think it could have something to do with mixed content because my recordings library is the same.. This is ready to go in my opinion, thanks for all you hard work.

yeah the recent electricity price increases have not been pleasant

My light bulb moment was doing the analysis that 98% of my 'media' was sitting there 'idle' while consuming power and sitting on relatively expensive disk. Lets be real here, a 16Tb disk is not what I would call 'inexpensive' .. and when you add them all up + backup's - it's a lot of money.. Storage 'Tiering' is something I'm also looking at - and for 'archive' media - moving it to HDD powered down arrays on older lower capacity disks, leaving the newer high density drives (but much fewer of them) spinning for stuff that is < 1 year old or 'continuing in Emby' and SSD for the 'current' media (< 3 Months old). Maybe unrelated to the thread - but in the debate about how the heck we store all this media - I think it's another area that warrants some thought ?

I used the exact same ones shown in the log file, I'm not at my laptop now but I'll get the options to you in an hour or so.

One feature of YouTube TV that I really like is when seeking recorded or paused live tv a large thumbnail appears above the timeline and auto pauses. This makes it very easy to seek foward past commercials find where the program continues then restart playback. This would be a even better feature than comskip IMHO.

Hello @Cheesegeezer... I had a great time on my daughters farm. I will do the e-book reader for you. I can also help you with a pure JS client. Lets get together on another voice chat and discuss things. I will send the latest plugin code tomorrow. Please host the plugin under your account. Vic

@Luke?

The only other drawbacks for me are no option to decode DTS-HD (it sends normal dts to my AVR) and no control over VC-1 transcoding.

Hosting my Emby server on an android phone, and I was struggling to serve it over port 80. Forwarding it from the router worked like a charm, thanks a bunch :D.

Welcome Back Vic, Hope you had a great time away. Generally Silence is golden. I can host the plugin in the catalogue until Emby Admin give you access. For everyone else in this testing group... please can you give your feedback over the next couple of days. What we really want to avoid is doing minor bug fixes and keep rolling out updates, which requires you to restart you server all time. We would really really appreciate your feedback on bugs only. As for Feature requests keep them out of this for the time being. Hoping this can be released and i can steal vic to create an ebook reader for Audirium hehehe Thanks everyone again for all your help with getting Bulky this far!!!

Ahh, I did miss that part. Indeed, he made a clear distinction that wasn't going anywhere, just the reviews. My mistake. Thanks for clarifying.

That does seem to have fixed it. Thank you for the help

How is the actual file named? If it has that special character, just remove episode name from the filename as its irrelevant and rescan.

Disregard. I had the libraries as "mix content" not TV Shows

.... It was a browser plugin. I'll be in my hole.

from my experience i agree it is not possible to have an automated profile do this. to be honest i have never found any conversion profile that i was happy with the outcome from, i can always see the difference and its not acceptable to me (but remain open to being convinced). the size of my library and my time available also mean i cannot take a individual analytic approach to conversion either so i just keep throwing hard disk space at it. about half a petabyte and counting

I'm on this journey as well. My core requirement is to convert all h264 over a certain bitrate for it's given resolution to hevc using QSVEncC with ICQ. Space savings on original h264 Remux's are huge (sometimes 20% of the original size) - and I cannot visually tell the difference on what I consider to be a reasonable AV setup. But as has been mentioned above, a blanket 'convert it all with setting x' is totally the wrong way to approach this - you must analyse each file and encode accordingly but even then, it may have been encoded that high because it has action scenes from beginning to end, film grain, huge levels of detail or a very dark movie for example - a quick 'ffprobe' can't tell you those sort of details. That being said, I'm trying to use 8Mbit/sec for h264 1080p material as my threshold - if it's less than this, then it stays on h264 - as it does not have the original source quality to be converted again. I looked at AV1, but for my use case, I don't believe it has any significant advantages over hevc - and it has many disadvantages as my client base is only partially able to hardware decode AV1.

Regarding the selection boxes, can you try this version and let me know how it compares? tizen.zip Thanks.

@ShanePDo you know when this will be working again on the Latest Beta's, no rush just checking to see if you have any eta, I am the same as other people, access the settings and just see the loading three dots.

The issue is resolved with Roku firmware 12 update. No Apple TV necessary.

I think mkv with h264 is still the best universal option, for now at least. It probably won't be too long before that changes though.

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.
