@pünktchen I’ll restore that method, so no need to do anything.

Already reported in the below topic, should be resolved in the next build.

Line of Duty - 2012 The Expanse - 2015 i personally have a preference for short shows - max 2-3 seasons. its very rare to find a premise that doesnt get tired after that time. i've stopped watching so many shows because i just find the stories ridiculous or repetitive after that. Agree with Luther though

Unless I'm being a bit blind (highly possible!), I'd love a way to hide a couple of the top green navigation items without hacking it in myself. For example, in Movies I don't want the 'Trailers' item to appear for any profile and for TV I don't need the 'Upcoming' nav link. Obviously not a major issue but thought it would be a nice thing to have, perhaps allowing them to be re-ordered like the home page items but again just a nice extra,

Welcome to Top Picks Top Picks will create a custom movie library with ranked items to share with your user base. Enabling settings in the top pick configuration will allow you to create a library based on your user engagement, and also customize what's being shown in the library. Note: Larger movie libraries will have the best chance at generating user engagement top pick items. Smaller libraries may only generate a couple top picks automatically. Critic rating, and community rating do play a part in choosing top pick items, along with User Likes/Favorited Items, and also Watched States. Creating, and editing the Top Picks List: After enabling, and running the scheduled task for user engagement (which will populate an initial list, but is also completely optional), you can also customize the library by adding movies of your choosing, and add-to/edit the top picks list to a maximum number of 9 items. It is important to note that users of the Top Picks library should not hide watched content from their home screen. This will ensure that all the content added to Top Picks is shown in the home screen layout. Pinning Items to the list: These items remain during the engagement rotation. This means that only auto generated items will be replaced weekly. Note: List item rotation will only happen when items are available in the library which meet the engagement criteria. This may lead to some manual up keep of the list. (In the image above, only the 2nd, and 9th item are allow to change, because they are not pinned to the list. However, the item changes will be based on the engagement results, and may not change based on the current state of the library and user engagement stats.) The more your users engage with the library, the more dynamic top picks will create lists. Favor custom thumb images over primary images: Favor custom primary images: Mobile: Android Enhanced Home Screen Layout Entering the Top Picks library you should choose to "Sort by Date Added" to have the images order themselves. There is a week long trial to test it out, after you install it from the catalog. If there are any questions please post them here in this thread. Please be kind, a lot of time, and work went into this. I'm open to further discussions regarding things that might make Top Picks better in the future as well. - chef Version 1.0.0.20 theme media is now added if it exists for a library item. Version 1.0.0.19 Current NFO files that exist in the library are now successfully used and properly altered for top pick items. This stops Emby from having to try and identify items which are already properly identified in the library. The ability to target a specific library for top pick creation. Version 1.0.0.18 Library items now have the option to show the top pick tag or not. Top picks drawing classes now attempt to draw custom thumb/primary images in memory without saving assets until complete. Version 1.0.0.17 Library is created with servers language for metadata retrieval. Top Picks will now search providers for missing resources to draw custom images for the library

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.

Hi guys, Here a setup for Jellyseerr, with Emby. https://mjanssen.nl/2023/01/25/setting-up-jellyseerr-for-emby/

would it be possible to have DoesTheDogDie website integration to show potential trigger warnings and/or maybe a clickable yellow triangle to bring something up that shows them?

After testing Emby for a month have I bought today a lifetime pass. had for a couple of years kodi, but Emby is mch better for now. i have my own "spotify " my wife has there podcasts feeds. each evening we looking emby serie and movies. want to thank the developers for this great program Ron

@Source12is it possible that nothing was watched in the last week on the server? Thanks so much. Bare with me while I familiarize my self with the code again, and also hunt for possible issues. Luckily, I wrote decent code with some comments to my future self.

What clients are you trying connect with locally (not on the Emby server machine)? Is IPv6 in the network picture at all? What errors do you get? (How do the clients respond?) Can you ping the machine from with the LAN? Have you checked the firewall?

So for whatever reason, binding it to the primary IP worked! Thank you all for your help!!!

Hello @chef! Thanks for this plugin, is very useful ! Would it be possible to add a tenth object? I would like to make a top 10 Can we modify the image of the tag on the covers? ("Top 10" instead of "Top pick" for example) The font of the numbers is a bit too bold for me, can we put it in regular? Thank you and good luck !

It’s definitely possible although we kind of have an overstuffed context menu at it as.

It works now, thank you.

We only support the current supported releases, that would be either 20.04 LTS or 22.04 at the time of writing. Other versions might work fine but we can't make any promise.

Oh I see. Let me try uncheck the box. Thanks!

I haven't seen or heard from @cheffor about a month .. Lets give him a week to reply, if no response, then the plugin should probably be removed from the Catalogue imo, especially as it's a paid for download.

Right if there’s not going to be any movement from Roku to resolve this then we’ll have to think of something to workaround it.

7.74 same as yours. Submitted issue on Github to see if can get some answers. Be nice if can get it working and see if have same issues with playback as I do with Handbrake. But yeah I get what you mean that sometimes the speed is so fast, does it really need to be faster.

Too many options in qsvenc lol ! So resulting file is just too small vs the original with the above settings - I'm seeing a 2Gb file being reduced to 300Mb. To me the quality is not there any more - and it's hardly surprising with such a huge reduction in file size. I know hevc is good but it's not that good ... The 'secret sauce' speedwise in the config appears to be the --fixed-func - without that it's comparable to ffmpeg in general speed. I'm just playing with --icq 18 - which has restored to about 50% of the filesize (still more than I expected) and quality is now back (as is the bitrate) - as a bonus its now hitting 430-470 fps ... Anyway - didn't plan to make this into an encoder settings thread - as it's all subjective - but needless to say @ nearly 500fps - I probably have no need for the hyper-encode tbh - although it's nice to see this encoder explicitely have a flag to set it .. (--hyper-mode on).. C:\qsvenc>qsvencc64 --avhw --codec hevc --icq 18 --profile main --fixed-func --audio-copy --chapter-copy --sub-copy -i "M:\TV Series\The Flash (2014) [tvdbID=279121]\Season 9\The Flash (2014) - s09e03 - Rogues of War - HDTV-1080p - x264 - AAC 2.0.mkv" -o "o:\temp\test-ff.mkv" This is the syntax I'm using on a 2Mb h264/AAC file - resulting file is 1.2Mb @VirulentPipMaybe worth trying with that flag on ?

I found a workaround for now, go to each section in My Media (Movies, Movies 4K, TV etc..) and set the filter to favourites it’s not perfect but does the job hopefully this helps anyone else having the same issue

Multiple values, separated by `\\`. It already works for genres. There are a bunch of QuickTime tags that Emby doesn't use; artist, director, author, Conductor, Publisher, and so on. Any of them would work. Here's a list. https://exiftool.org/TagNames/QuickTime.html. Also, it wouldn't have to be a QuickTime tag. It could be a EXIF tag (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/EXIF.html). (editing posts no longer works)

well... based on the length of the current beta (now 14months, and lets not forget we were promised at the last stable release that future beta rounds would try to be shorter ) its reasonable to predict not seeing it in stable til October 2024

Hi, I would not try to use the shield as a media server - it is the king of players not the king of servers in my opinion. Depending on your needs I would get an intel/amd box to run a server. I had for years a windows 10 pro machine with remote desktop connection as a server running plex - this was for a time when transcoding 1080p was needed for the likes of slow hotel connections for remote playing for example. I since abandoned that - I have a synology with a docker container with emby (emby/embyserver)(4 core amd cpu with 32GB ram - emby docker image needs very little memory - this is shared between multiple other dockers). the only thing the synology does not do is transcode 4k video - Nowadays with fast internet connectivity and apps such as the emby player that can process any type of video I found that transcoding is not needed as it would have been 10 years ago therefore I can save electricity and have the emby server run on the same cpu as my nas. Docker is amazing. Strongly recommended.

That worked. Thanks

Thank you, had similar problem that web interface not loading correctly. Did a rollback on the jail, and waiting for a emby upgrade before upgrading the jail again.

I'm really tempted to just start a new thread every week about this, but not much point I guess

I understand, and I very much appreciate this. This means that I can also use addon mode without having to worry about unnecessary transcoding in my LAN. My point is a somehow general one. If I can prefectly stream my content with a player that can handle the content in the LAN, there is no reason to use http (which I call "overhead" in this case). Even if it is mostly a matter of principle, and addon-mode does a great job. The beauty, and my favorite feature of the kodi-addon in native mode is the fact that you can make use of the emby-server, but at the same time you can still stream directly from the share. This combination is great becuase it gives me the best from both worlds. Let's be honest, if the only topic at hand would be streaming content in a LAN, nobody would suggest using http for this. (At least I hope so) On the other hand I also understand that the SW is evolving, features are being added, and the situation is a little bit more complicated sometines. Also I have to admit, if ET on rpi would be ready, I would probably give it a try, becuase it is "pure" Emby and looks just great on the TV. In the many years that I have used kodi and emby I have concluded that emby is very good at it's main task, which is being a library, and that kodi is the best player. Maybe my "not wanting to use http" also comes from my experience with emby players, where I have had countless problems on many different setup's when it comes to fast and reliable content playback. Even today, where emby has become "grown up", I still have many playback issues. I am not blaming emby for this, emby is a great product, but it tries to do too many things IMHO, and the world of different operating systems and HW is very difficult to handle, especially apple devices. On the other hand in all these years I have never had any problems with SMB-streaming, even with very limited HW resources and quite high bitrate content. Up to some months ago I actually was using a rpi2 with kodi/emby-addon to stream 1080p content, which is a very good example for the importantce of efficient handling of a task. Sometimes I could not belive that the rpi2 actually can playback all this content. Today I use 2 rpi400's. This is why I find it important to not forget what technology is the best for a specific task But maybe I did not consider all the aspects, and it is not my intention to hold on to something from the past. I just wanted to share my view on the topic. The most important thing for me is to control transcoding, which should work fine in both addon-modes. Thanks a lot for all your efforts - CHEERS .

I don't like saying "rewrite", because that sounds a bit like developing the same again in a (possibly) better way - but it's very different and bigger in all aspects that and essentially by far more adding than replacing. Emby's excellence is in organizing media and being able to play back everything everywhere. Its universal capability of doing media playback applies to TV streams as well: Emby can play them everywhere just like all other media. And that's what the current Live TV feature is built upon. It is tiny and simplistic and for some users that's sufficient yet for most it isn't. The "universal playback" method allows successful playback in some way but it involves a bunch of drawbacks (those that you are all noticing, experiencing or even suffering from ). That's a typical and general issue with "universal" solutions: they cover a broad range but they often cannot achieve perfect handling for specific cases. TVnext is build from scratch and designed from the ground up for handling TV signals perfectly - and only TV signals. For everything else, we already have a great implementation, so TVnext can focus on live TV (it's just different handling under the hood, invisible to users). The same idea applies to all other parts: doing it in the best possible way - as if you would start from zero - but then still integrating everything seamlessly.

I think I found the problem. I have been using a program called FXsound to help boost the sound quality. out of Curiosity, I uninstalled it and reset the sound from the page that you sent me. I then reinstalled Emby Theater and tried it. Everything seems to be working. I don't understand why FXsound would interfere. I've been using that for years. So I will leave it uninstalled for now. Thank you for all your help. Let me know if you have any other Ideas as to why.

I believe my assumption, and the assumption of others was that it was a re-write. Luke was asking about a single feature and we aren't waiting for a single feature, we are waiting on the re-write you've spoken of.

Almost makes you wish Emby was still open source...

What release was being worked on when this was first announced, 4.3 or 4.4? As a user and someone who bought a lifetime subscription for 'LiveTV' it seems like a release cycle focusing on LiveTV is VERY overdue. Then I re-read the release notes for the last few major releases, and I do not see anything that I would consider worth ignoring/delaying the LiveTV improvements. I am sure others will disagree on individual points, but come on, in 3+ years and multiple major release surely some effort could have been put into this. I stopped asking about improvements for LiveTV, since it looked like it was going to get some attention. Silly me. On a side note I want to commend softworks for not getting frustrated and bailing on the whole project. Seen too many cool projects suffer after a great dev gets tired of being ignored and moves on to a project that makes them feel valued.

If there's one thing wrong ahead of all others, then it's the assumption that it would be about a certain/single missing feature...

Back up IPTV recording channels.

My Apple TV user reports the new version fixes the problem for him! Thank you!

It's version 1.7.5 that went out yesterday.

This is primarily a bug fix release. Here are the changes: Improve artist splitting for artists that have a / in their title Handle invalid data when parsing video rotation information Fix error with conversion feature and videos that have audio streams with 0 channels Various intro detection bug fixes Fix errors with SMB access on Linux when non-default server port is used Various transcoding related fixes Increase default server database cache size for new installs

As of 4.9 multiple db connections were added so increasing this value to much could have negative effects on Ram usage. As it could be 5x your value or in some cases from a beta standpoint 20x your value. Will try to update when more info is available. Performace tweaks Database cache size Sets the amount of data that the database will hold in memory at once, per database file. A larger value may help improve Emby Server performance. Requires a server restart to take effect. If you have the available RAM you should set the database cache size to 1.5 to 2 times your library.db size. Navigate to your platform Emby programdata folder and look in the data folder to see its size. You can find your server info on the dashboard three dot menu. App Settings- Database
