Hi. The Roku app will be updated just before 4.8 releases.

Hello, Is it possible that in a version of emby a "ping pong" is performed in websocket to maintain a connection via a reverse proxy? Let me explain. Apart from reverse proxies such as caddy or traefik (for those I know) there is no real timeout for websockets. For reverse proxies like haproxy or nginx, the timeout is defined either by default or by the user. In the case of haproxy or nginx, if someone pauses a video that lasts more than an hour (a movie, for example), the websocket timeout will occur before the end of the movie. Or if, when playing an episode of a series lasting 40 minutes, the viewer pauses the video for 20 minutes, the connection will be closed before the end of the episode. Having the client send a message and the server reply every X seconds/minutes would eliminate the problem and prevent the connection from staying open for 1 hour for no reason, as in the nginx configuration. Also, I saw a message saying that if a connection was closed unexpectedly, for resource reasons, there was no attempt to reconnect. Why not set up a number of reconnection attempts? For example, the client tries to reconnect 3 times, and if none of the attempts work, the connection is aborted. This would, I think, allow better websockets management and avoid connections being open for hours. Or even when changing networks (LTE->wifi or wifi->LTE), this would make it easier to re-establish the connection than quitting the application and reopening it. To avoid sending just a "ping" and a "pong", useful information can be sent through websockets when the client supports them, such as the position of the video playback (which is currently sent via http), because a request via websocket is faster than an http request and sends, with the same information in the body, less data than an http request.

When using Emby for audiobooks, playback speed resets to 1x every time you reload the app, both web and android app have this issue. Even worse, accessing playback speed button requires 2 clicks more then ideally needed, making Emby a chore to use with audiobooks.

It is recommended that when playing media, long press on a certain area of the screen or the entire screen area to trigger 2.0X speed or 3.0X speed, and release the finger to return to 1.0X speed

Hello, I am using emby for music streaming. I would like to have emby on my watch and be able to sync music and play it without the need of my phone while running.

Hello, Perhaps I am not the first one to ask this question but it will be very cool if this feature could be implemented. I have 2 servers one at home and the other at work. ( and soon a third one...) So I have a movies library called movies on each server. I would like to see all the movies from a single 'virtual server location' when I use the app (ios or android ) where I will see only one movies library containing movies informations from the movie library at work and the movie library at home. It's an aggregation of movies informations from the movie library at work and the movie library at home. In fact when a user have multiple servers it will be perfect if another choice in the server list called "all servers" for example appears automatically with a merge of media informations from librairies with the same name on different servers.

Hi All I've set up Emby to serve music files to my Wiim Mini Streamer and it's frustratingly working nearly perfectly! When using the Wiim app, I can pull up the music and it all plays fine, at the full bitrate. I can also control the Emby server from the app no problem. However, the Emby app is much better so I'd like to get that to work. The problem is when I play from that it transcodes the stream to MP3 despite my setting up a DLNA device profile for the Wiim Mini. Looking at the logs, I can't tell if it's not seeing the device profile I've set up or seeing it and not getting the right settings. I was hoping the DeviceProfileID would help me find out what profile it was using (default or my custom one) but it seems to change with every server restart. Either way, the log says "TranscodeReasons=AudioCodecNotSupported". For the device profile, I've put the "Friendly Name" that I gave the Wiim as the identification data and confimed it's correct using a uPNP utility. I've added the audio codecs its supports and upped the max bitrate too. Any suggestions?

1.I hope that when adding a movie collection, there can be a search box for the collection directory. This way, for people with a large number of collection directories, manually organizing will be much more convenient. Otherwise, I have to use my eyes to search one by one every time 2.I hope to also add metadata link labels for the collection at the bottom

Hi developers, I am not sure if it is good place to open a topic. I found emby last weekend. It is really a good dlna server on rpi server. Everything works well except pdf viewer feature. So I have developed a solution for it. I wrote a python script, I have added it below post. What I do is I put pdf files into a directory(I will call it main). Then I run python script. It takes all pdfs, creates directories with name of each pdfs. In each pdf named directory, script creates pages with current order with jpeg format. On server side, I selected video/photo folder to main directory. I changed default view of directory to folder view. What I suggest/request from you is create a script to make similar action whenever clicked to update library if there is an video/photo category. And put an option to turn off slide show when opened a picture as default. Hope it will help for other people. https://github.com/MEL1H/Pdf-converter-for-Emby-server/

I am in complete agreement. I pretty much figured you knew how to get around the issue. I posted about the workaround more for others who might not.

Get it sorted then please @Luke

I know how to get around the issue, but I shouldn't have to.

Why? You have a TV show stored in the database, which has a valid TVDB/IMDb number, so you just need to process it like everything else. This has been a bugbear of mine since empty folders were hidden.

Yes, thats right, 4 years ago.

Hi! Thanks too! I will try the next build and you will report back here!

@Luke thinking about this a little more, the only way i see this working would for the more like this to be moved to a plugin as a provider, a bit like a type of metadata provider, then people could select a different more like this provider when setting up their libs. plugin devs could then create new variations that used different approaches.

What I've been doing to get around this issue is creating an empty folder for the next Season in each series folder as soon as I've finished watching the current season. By doing that, the Upcoming list populates for the new episodes as soon as TVDB is updated to include the episodes. One thing I've noticed with the recent changes is that Specials now show up in the Upcoming list. I have an empty folder for Doctor Who Season 14 in the main series folder for when Season 14 starts airing next year. I noticed over the weekend that the three new specials that start airing this weekend are in the Upcoming list. That was pleasant surprise. I don't recall the past specials for Doctor Who showing up in the list until they were physically in my library.

HI, yes they are.

its my subjective opinion. difficult to describe its not the topic anyways.

I would follow the blog for release announcements, but it will be in the beta channel much sooner so for that you can follow the testing area of the community.

The upcoming 4.8 release will have improved support for ac4 audio.

The plan is to have a smart view feature where users can create views based on filter sets. I think once we have that, then a plugin could be used to create custom ones, so that would be your best bet.

Correct.

Ciao, ho provato a premere il pulsante ripristino blocco come mi hai suggerito e ora funziona tutto. Grazie a tutti per aiuto

It would be helpful to have easy click-access to the disk directory and file information for individual music files. It would be good to add to the right-click or long-press pop-up menu: 1. ability to see full file path and filename 2. ability to "Open File Explorer at File Directory" (using the device/OS own functions, of course - just a trigger), which would enable the ability to open other files in that directory - example: I have track listing for mixes, etc., and it would also be nice to easily see what other cover jpgs, PDF booklets, and other files are in a track's directory

dunno what the windows equivalent of Finder is, but ... I'd like to suggest adding "show/reveal/go to in Finder" to the 3 dot menu. I have discovered that have some dupes of songs. This would help me find the best one and eliminate others.

There's a bug on that page. If you click on FAVOURITES, then back to HOME, the text/image disappear.

Just wanted to quickly share this since I think it looks pretty clean and would fit in well with an overall modern UI overhaul. Promised @Luketo post UI suggestion so this could be a nice piece of the puzzle /* Card Styles */ .card { border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); overflow: hidden; transition: transform 0.3s ease-in-out; } .card:hover { transform: scale(1.05); }

nope lol I figured it out. I'm on unraid and my tv shows disk was set to high water and was pushing files to disk 2 and emby isent pointed to disk 2 for tv shows. i fixed it and it is now finding all my shows again. Thanks anyways!!

Much thanx!

Wonderful!

That's a known issue unfortunately with AV1 sources. FFmpeg creates HLS segments of 1s length instead of 3s. The symptoms of this vary between players (but it's not their fault). I haven't gotten behind this yet, but I'll give it another go. Thanks for reporting!

WAFAF! I've added it to the internal list for the new Windows app for consideration. Thanks a lot for the (good) suggestion.

Dear Softworkz, first of all: many thnx for your very professional responses: great ! I personally build+used MCE already since Windos XP MCE (since 2003-2005?) systems with a high WAF (Wife (and family) Acceptance Factor) factor, and standby-sleep mode, etc. has always been a special point, mostly a combination od the right motherboard/BIOS and BOOT setup possibilities there, but also a tool which somebody made: 'Mediacenter Standby Tool (MST) mst09091' years ago... Your solution seems to be a correct approach: Sleep: stopping playback and going into S4 sleep mode, using CEC to sleep your TV and audio devices as well Start: enabling BIOS to start, booting Windows, login (automatically with user+password if neccessary), startup Emby Theater WMC gui (automatically with user+password) and finally ending in the mainmenu Status: it's in my opinion not realistic to expect that Emby Theater WMC gui comes back on exactly the same point of the live-TV stream.....make it possible to choose a continue watching the same Live-TV channel (thus not the same live-TV program, which probably ended hours ago....). For Movies, TV-series, Video-audio, etc. which comes mostly from local storage, leave as it already is: return back to exactly the same point and continue. Thanks & best regards, Peter

Yes! I really wish Emby had this feature. It's really the only thing I miss from Plex. I have movies in my local language that my family can't find because of the english titles, but if I set my library to danish, a lot of the english movies get weird translated titles as well. If there was a possibility to keep original titles as well, it would be great!

Agreed that the original AC3 must be better than the transcoded track because it is of higher bitrate and more dynamic. So this a placebo effect I use SONOS as my home theater system... maybe not the audiophile grade sound but I am satisfied with it at the moment. The set up consists of: Playbar + 2 Play Ones as surround + Sub mini. I ran TruePlay on it to sound better. Other than that, I don't understand how I can re-get the channel balance setup correctly...

HI, we've just completed the work to move to the new open subtitles api but haven't started rolling it out to users just yet, so stay tuned.

Sure! Added these to the new attached RAR archive. EmbyIcons_v5.2.rar

Dearly beloved, I am a loyal user of Emby, which I have been using for years on my Terramaster nas with great satisfaction. Recently, however, I started to include an audiobook section and realized that Emby handles them as if they were actually records of music. So I would like to propose to the authors of this magnificent software to devise a dedicated audiobook management and a book management based on the characteristics of a book rather than a disc. Sort of like Calibre does, for instance. And it would be important to be able to use a specialized metadata search engine on books when making the association, like GoodReads, Anobii and the like (Calibre and its plugins can be a great source of inspiration). Your first promise to implement these features was in 2019. It would be nice if you put together a team of programmers dedicated to this project, which would make Emby definitely superior to Plex Thanks

HI, yes this is a quirk the way the app's window management works. We have a new windows app that we are working on and it will behave as you would expect like any other windows app.

I agree. I know that many people think Emby is worth full price but there's for sure significant group of people determined to wait for a proper discount for a lifetime license. Ignoring them is ignoring fact they are willing to give the team their money. Sometimes it's better to sell discounted software to 20 people than having just one person taking a full price. Just saying.

We work very hard on Emby. We'd kinda like people to know what it is...
