I can knock one up that lasts 5-10 seconds. Any idea the style you want. Pick out a font from Dafont.com and some images, backdrops would do and send them, I’ll create something cool for you pal

Be able to create playlist based on a certain criteria, like genre and or year, in order to create a dynamic playlist that it refreshes automatically when new content is added. This way you can for example, create a tv comedy playlist from the 90's, or a new sci-fi Movies playlist. Some other criteria for rules could be the rating, watched/unwantched, score, tags, language, audio codec, etc The possibilities could be endless

Hello, I may get roasted for this, but can someone explain to me why can't we have basic push notifications for the Emby apps? I don't want to install plugins and jump through hoops just to get a simple push notification when new media is added to my library. A simple Android notification for my phone and a chrome browser notification for my PC is all I'm asking for here. Does it really need to be this complicated?

So I was disappointed to see that despite the latest ffmpeg detection the full Dolby Vision profile details - Emby just displays 'Dolby Vision' in the clients. However, upon investigating the database directly - I see that emby is infact collecting the FULL DV profile data - and writing it to the ExtendedVideoType / ExtendedVideoSubType fields as per below :- ExtendedVideoType = 100 (HDR10) ExtendedVideoSubType = 100 (HDR10 and HDR10+) - Presumably as ffmpeg cannot yet determine HDR10+ profiles ? ExtendedVideoType = 130 (Dolby Vision) ExtendedVideoSubType = 1350 (DV5), ExtendedVideoSubType = 1736 (DV7), ExtendedVideoSubType = 1381 (DV8) ExtendedVideoType = 120 (HLG) An API query returns the SubType as 'None' but in the database it has a sub-type (of 1381, so should return DV8).. "ExtendedVideoType": "DolbyVision", "ExtendedVideoSubtype": "None", Is this a conscious decision to not include this - and if so, may I ask if this is planned on a future update ? Thanks, @softworkzFYI

So i disabled firewall which i did long time ago and it worked again. Thank you

I guess I sort of figured out a workaround for it. The file was originally named AutoCollections.dll, and I put it in AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\plugins. I renamed it to AutoCollections1.dll and put it in the same plugins location, and that worked fine. I'm not sure why that made it work, but it seems to be fine now.

Changing the app region doesn't break anything. The region only determines which apps are available to you in the Samsung store. So, if you change the region to US or UK then you will be limited to apps available in those areas and lose the ability to load any apps which are specific to NZ. However, if you don't run any other apps from the store then that shouldn't affect you. Changing your region will also reset all other settings. Not sure where Emby is on getting the app released in all regions, but you can always change your region back if/when it gets there. The first Tizen TV was released in 2015. There is a version on GitHub from about 3 years ago which was compiled before the policy change if you wish to run that. I believe it has the warning, but it won't expire.

that would be great cheers. i use the coming soon bumpers from the collection you made available. i had a look through the sci fi section in dafont but i can't see a match. but anything close will do if you don't remember which one you used. anything similar in terms of theme would be great too

Renombrar es muy rapido y nada tiene que ver lo pesado del archivo, es casi instantaneo. Lo que puede que tome mas tiempo es el escanear la biblioteca para aplicar los cambios, pero no deberia ser tan tardado como la primera vez que escaneaste. Lo que puedes hacer tambien es poner a actualizar/escanear la biblioteca a nivel serie. De ese modo no tienes que esperar a que se escanee toda la biblioteca.

@Mibokalready recommended: FileBot will also do. No problem.

Vale, ahora si lo entiendo, soy muy despistado y no lo entendia, aparte que el traductor no ayuda mucho, voy a probar lo que comentas, muchas gracias.

Como consejo adicional te recomiendo borrar los archivos *.nfo de manera que el servidor vuelva a descargar los metadatos.

La forma que tiene Emby de saber cual episodio es cada archivo es buscando en el nombre del archivo parte del texto que lo indique. En https://emby.media/support/articles/TV-Naming.html indica cuales son las "etiquetas" que busca emby para reconocer cada episodio. Si te fijas bien en la primer temporada cada capitulo esta etiquetado como 1X## (temporada 1X## episodio) en las demas temporadas viene "Temporada 2" Cap.201. Pero emby no entiende lo que significa "Temporada" ni "Cap." Renombra los archivos y veras que se corrige tu problema .

Se me han adelantado un poco, pero creo que Grim Reaper tiene razon. El problema que tienes es de nomenclatura, yo en lo personal prefiero usar el esquema 1x01 (para temporada 1 episodio 01) pero en el enlace han puesto puedes ver otros esquemas compatibles. Para que no tardes tanto, te recomiendo usar un programa para renombrar, yo uso ReNamer https://www.den4b.com/products/renamer ahi puedes poner reglas para reemplazar texto, limpiarlo o enumerarlos y lo que te tomaria horas o minutos te tomara segundos.

Your Temporada 2 and Temporada 3 episodes are not in supported naming conventions (and all season episodes have likely been multi-versioned under a single episode due to parser trying to figure out what to make of that naming scheme). Rename your episodes as per your Temporada 1 or some other supported convention: https://emby.media/support/articles/TV-Naming.html

I know you are bud. But it would be great to have it in the same state as the Android version. Including homescreen customisation

Might be worth checking dependency services as well - dns is always one that catches people out, unless you have a local dns server as part of your name resolution, any 'local' names may fail to resolve as part of the dns lookup. Put them as local host entries - and it may work ok without the internet.

Yup, thanks. Already fixed for the next beta!

Ah-ha, ok .. I guess that's good that it's been found ..

ok - I can try that - 2 secs.... btw - I don't have any VideoSubTypes of 13081 - just those listed in my earlier post ..

Forget about it. There's a bug...

I think i understood what caused this, the 2 folders were also listed under sonarr, so when i renamed it, sonarr automatically recreate those 2 folders.

Same I'm afraid - I did a item Refresh (probe log below), closed Swagger and re-tried. I did a direct curl as well - same result. let me just check the db directly ...

Yes and no: Yes, we are setting them all to 100 currently. No, ffprobe is in fact able to output HDR10+ side data. The problem here is that HDR10+ cannot be detected from codec header information. It is required to sample video frames and look for that side data. This doesn't go well together with the regular ffprobe detection procedure, so we'd need to perform a second ffprobe run. Unfortunately, library scanning performance is kind of a holy cow....that's the current state. PS ExtendedVideoType.Hdr10Plus exists as well.

@Luke"Ultrawidify" browser add-on automatically zooms in and eliminates the black bars on the top and bottom of the videos. FYI so no update is needed on my end any more

Did more research and figured this out this is a bug in Chrome and Edge - You can fix it by going into the flags and setting #use-angle to D3D9 and this will fix it. Another solution is to use " the "Ultrawidify" add-on.

Hiya Spaceboy!!! Ok, I hear ya...guess it's time to wake up the ol' brain cells then...thanks for offering to help via the forum...I "DO" appreciate that!!! I have ordered a new little machine to use as my server, being that it's getting on in age, so resources will increase dramatically, and THAT'LL help, but I STILL wanna learn how to do it "externally"... My new machine will be sporting "Windows 11"...besides the learning curve to use Win 11, I now have to find out how to transfer EMBY to it properly...don't wanna lose anything!!!...being I purchased a lifetime license!!! Wish me luck!!! Gerry Emm

Starting with the subtitles off and turning them on through Emby's CC button doesn't have an effect. In my original post, you'll find a link containing the file I'm using for testing.

Perdón por tardar en contestar. No he podido hacerlo antes. Acabo de actualizar sin problema con el enlace. Muchas gracias.

I'm also looking for a feature to change channel directly while viewing a live stream without going through the guide or a rewind

I think this is Emby server related or is this something I should review on plugin side?

Agreed I also do see errors in dev tools saying that .ts files are missing. but the errors in the logs is a new behaviour in the recent beta (>=21) that is not happening in stable release to my best knowledge (cannot test at the moment). Hope this helps! Thanks for your work Luke! I really appreciate the last beta which has become my production emby now

gotcha, I see what you're saying. It seems like a bit of a workaround, but I appreciate you clearing that up for me. thanks a lot for helping out!

Once 4.8.0.35 is up, you can test using the dedicated buttons for skipping forward and back in the video player. Previously the client would just try to calculate the final position based on the most recent data that it had.

Funnily enough, I re-watched Star Wars a New Hope the other day, and wanted to 'slow-mo' the Cantana scene with Han and Greedo shooting, but couldn't do it frame by frame (in the Android TV App) as you show above. So it's great to see so much control being given back to the client. This is also possibly a good case for extra user defined 'Markers' to be stored alongside the main chapters, intro markers etc. We had thought about this when doing Introskip Plugin and discussing the 'hidden markers' with the Core team, but without the accuracy to seek to the 'marker' there was little point - now we can, it's possibly something to consider. I'll add it into the Git conversation maybe.

The problem with TV is that depending upon channel it is so compressed that there is so much loss there is no upscaling that can correct it and you end up with macro-block pixelation. Network TV is OK and some of the cable channels but there are still a lot of SD channels for some unknown reason and how they look really depends....it basically comes down to what material is available. MeTV bounces all over the map from good to terrible on quality. Back in the days of syndication many shows found their way to oddball stations at rather low rez and in some cases of old TV shows those are all that exist these days for what's left to source DVD releases. Two cases.....Mannix survived in rather decent quality yet Cannon of the same period did not and you can see this in what's available on DVD. You have to be ESPECIALLY careful of companies putting these older shows out on Blu-Ray because many are simply the same available prints that are out on DVD with just more episodes on fewer discs.....this is not a Blu-Ray release and thus should not be priced any different than the DVD release yet many companies scam people out of their money this way. There are exceptions....Batman (1966) on Blu-Ray are actually some pretty nice prints but others you will find if difficult to see any difference between the DVD and Blu-Ray release so buyer beware and do your research. I had to explain this to several friends who bought into the hype. BUT.....a high quality DVD encoded and they viewed thru emby on a modern TV will be hard to tell that it is not HD. It all boils down to the quality of the source.

Hi. There is no limit on users only devices but 50 users on your server is a bit out of the scope of our design as a personal media server for just your immediate family and close friends. If you are distributing content to that many users it is almost certain that you are violating the terms of distribution of the content and that is the situation we are trying to avoid with the device limits. We could charge money for higher limits but this will open our software up to much easier use as an illegal streaming platform. Such use only ends up hurting us because, eventually, one of those is discovered by content owners and then our name is associated with it and we get accused of running illegal pirating sites. The net result would eventually be that we would be put out of business and no one would have Emby. So, we choose to remain designed as a personal media server. You could convince one or two of these friends of yours to install their own server to serve their families and then this would alleviate the number of users and devices you are directly supporting. Thanks.

You can also go the way of say unRaid, or install Ubuntu and something like Swizzin or Saltbox so it's easy to manage then command line stuff?

Thank you thank you. Need to specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH before comskip. In my case LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set to /app/emby when run by emby, hence getting different results versus running the script from terminal. While trouble shooting this I ended up creating a comskip post processing script that logs everything, including the resulting edl contents, to a log viewable in the emby admin console. #!/bin/bash file=$1 #Post-processor command line argument: "{path}" logpath="/config/logs/comskip.txt" #change /config/logs to your emby log folder comskip="/usr/bin/comskip" #path to your comskip binary comskipini="/config/comskip.ini" #path to your comskip ini libpath="/usr/lib/" #path to shared libraries for comskip log_message() { echo $(date +"%Y-%m-%d%t%H:%M:%S") : "$1" >> $logpath } touch $logpath logsize=$(stat --format=%s "$logpath") if [ "$logsize" -gt "100000" ]; then rm $logpath fi log_message "Beginning post processing script on ${file}" if [ -f "$file" ]; then log_message "File exists, sleeping 1 minute before starting..." sleep 65 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$libpath $comskip --ini=$comskipini "${file}" && log_message "Comskip success: Exit code $?" || log_message "Comskip failed: Exit code $?" if [ -f "${file%.*}.edl" ]; then log_message "Contents of ${file%.*}.edl:" while IFS="" read -r p || [ -n "$p" ] do log_message "$(printf '%s\n' "$p")" done < "${file%.*}.edl" else log_message "Comskip EDL file does not exist." fi else log_message "File does not exist. Comskip did not run." fi log_message "Finished post processing script on ${file}" Example log output: 2022-12-13 11:15:53 : Beginning post processing script on /data/dvr/The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (2014)/Season 10/The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon S10E52 Miley Cyrus; Jesse Williams; Mary Mack.ts 2022-12-13 11:15:53 : File exists, sleeping 1 minute before starting... 2022-12-13 11:19:57 : Comskip success: Exit code 0 2022-12-13 11:19:57 : Contents of /data/dvr/The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (2014)/Season 10/The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon S10E52 Miley Cyrus; Jesse Williams; Mary Mack.edl: 2022-12-13 11:19:57 : 856.49 1082.51 0 2022-12-13 11:19:57 : 1645.44 1916.51 0 2022-12-13 11:19:57 : 2161.43 2467.60 0 2022-12-13 11:19:57 : 2839.40 3155.55 0 2022-12-13 11:19:57 : 3487.42 3777.64 0 2022-12-13 11:19:57 : Finished post processing script on /data/dvr/The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (2014)/Season 10/The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon S10E52 Miley Cyrus; Jesse Williams; Mary Mack.ts
