You can use the Google Trends to align these bursts to when people start to get awareness of each. As you move back beyond a week the results for everything drops which is why I have shown it only as of this week. As people research more on Google it will influence this graph. Just because you do not see Emby mentioned as often does not mean users do not find it exists. The Google Experimental Bard where the AI helps you with your search will even suggest using Emby when searching the other two options. Next you might ask, which countries are mostly searching for Emby? Well the Trends graph can even show you that. Then you might ask where are the most people who look for Plex coming from? An entirely different demographic. Emby has a huge community within China where we cannot see what they post. They are censored beyond belief with their Great Firewall leaving no question why they seek Emby in China. Plex for them would be useless in China since all the web based things inside Plex are blocked. Chinese cannot get enough of Emby.

My setup is based on a Debian 12 Bookworm LXC Container running on ProxMox 8.1.3. Spent quite some time on this and maybe this helps someone else to get it working. If not, I'm sorry... As I'm using an NFS mount within the container I'm using a privileged container. Under Options -> Features I've enabled "Nesting" and "NFS". Don't touch the LXC's .conf file just yet! Make sure there's no mount entries in it! On the ProxMox host: Find out the GID of the "render" group: getent group render I'm using 104 in this example. In the LXC container: Find a unused GID: cat /etc/group I'm using 112 in this example. Find the group name for the GID of the host's render group getent group 104 I'm using sgx in this example. Change the GID of the sgx group to the unused GID and update the filesystem: groupmod -g 112 sgx find / -group 104 -exec chgrp -h sgx {} \; 112 = new GID, 104 = old GID, sgx = group name. Find the GID of the container's render group getent group render I'm using 106 in this example. Change the GID of the "render" group to the GID of the host's render group and update the file system: groupmod -g 104 render find / -group 106 -exec chgrp -h render {} \; 104 = new GID, 106 = old GID, render = group name. Update the sources list: nano /etc/apt/sources.list Add the following lines: #non-free firmwares deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm non-free-firmware #non-free drivers and components deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm non-free Install the drivers: apt update && apt install intel-media-va-driver-non-free intel-gpu-tools vainfo Shutdown the container. On the ProxMox host: Update the LXC's .conf file: nano /etc/pve/nodes/<NODE NAME>/lxc/<CT ID>.conf Add the following lines: lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 226:0 rwm lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 226:128 rwm lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri/card0 dev/dri/card0 none bind,optional,create=file lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri/renderD128 dev/dri/renderD128 none bind,optional,create=file Start the container. In the LXC container: Check if permissions are correct: ls -Alh /dev/dri Output should be similar to: total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 0 Dec 10 21:21 card0 crw-rw---- 1 root render 226, 128 Dec 10 21:21 renderD128 Important is that it shows video and render as the groups! Check if VAAPI is available: vainfo Output should be similar to: Install Emby Server. I used the 4.8 Beta version as it seems to have some fixes for Intel Alder Lake-N CPUs. Add the Emby user to the video and render groups: sudo usermod -aG video emby sudo usermod -aG render emby Reboot your container and (hopefully) enjoy hardware acceleration! Try starting a movie and change the quality to something that would trigger transcoding. Check the CPU usage in the ProxMox Summary screen and watch the GPU in the container usage with: intel_gpu_top

I vote for this feature, too. For example if someone uses a bluetooth speaker there could be some audio lag, so adding the option to set an audio offset option in every emby app would be usefull. Can you move this to the Feature requests section? Thanks!

It would be great if i could set the server to delete certain shows after a user has watched it. I happen to watch "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report", everyday, and with "News"ish type shows, there is no need to keep the episodes around. So i would like to set MB to auto delete those 2 shows, 3 days after one user has watched it.

I love the individual artists pages for bands but there is a number of things lacking that i believe would be a welcome to the artists pages and give it much more content if it could be done, that's if i ain't missing anything that i can already do or activate via settings or anything. We currently have Songs Albums Appears on Music videos More like this How about the following Members - Shows you individual photos of past & present members kind like the cast a crew section of movies but let's me know who the vocalist, drummer, bassist is and who is a past member Videos - I'm talking movies based upon an artist, promo video compilations, documentaries, live gigs and other types of dvd's, bluerays and videos, how about a section like Music Videos that shows any music dvd's you happen to have in your library that features the said artist. Photos - How about being able to show photos of artists if you have any, a number of bands i do have a few photos and whilst i do have a media library specifically for home video and photos it would be cool to visit a bands page and see a scroll able left and right gallery of photos depending on how many you have. Yes i can search for an artist and it brings up a few options like top results, albums, artists, people, photos, movies and so on but having it on the artist page would be good if it wouldn't be too cluttered and could work? Just a few ideas mind

Hi, I created a python script that will look for all watched content for a specific user. If the last played date is past the cut off date it will delete the file. I built this for myself and it works good enough for me, but I have only tested it on my system (ubuntu 18.04) with my server. So no guarantee it will work for everyone, and since it can delete files have a backup to be safe. By default it does not delete files until you modify the config file to be safer. It first lists all the files, then will list the files that will be deleted. On first run it will ask you some questions to generate the config file, or you can create it manually Here is the script if anyone else is interested in trying it out: https://github.com/clara-j/media_cleaner

I have an eclectic collection of music from around the world and I wish there was a way to filter music Album Artists by country.

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.

If you go to an individual Movie or show, and click on Edit subtitles, there is an option to return only Forced subtitles. This option is not available in subtitle configuration in the Library section. Would be great if this could be added there, so only download forced subtitles for shows/movies. Or better would be to add it as an option of "Forced subtitles for language matching audio language". Seems most of this functionality is already in place, just needs to be linked up. If it helps, I would like to offer a bounty on this option. I can personally add $100 to bounty for it.

It is working now. This is on a new/replacement server I had setup today. I had to add ffmpeg to my path environment variable for a post-processing task and it started working after I did that. Thanks for the quick reply. Bruce

I think I can work with that. Maybe on a future update??

When you click your profile picture, and the little box comes up. It used to fill up the entire screen. It may have been this way for a while though as I usually use the side menu

@Abobader

@DarkVather a new version was just uploaded a few minutes ago.

Hallo zusammen, auf meinem Samsung TV kann ich die Emby App nicht mehr öffnen. Die Meldung das der Gültigkeitszeitraum für die Applikation abgelaufen ist erscheint. Zuvor kam einige Tage die Meldung das es eine neue Version gibt und man diese Installieren sollte. Auf Github ist leider auch noch keine neue Version bereitgestellt. Könnt ihr bitte wieder die aktuelle Version einstellen? Hab Emby Premiere aber kann leider kein Emby öffnen ^^ Danke euch vielmals.

Yes it makes sense.

OK we're looking into it. Thanks.

Yes Im pretty sure there is a max URL size, but Im assuming they didnt think of it, and youd need to stop it at the last whole ID , wasnt 4.8 suppose to be released, people might make plugins onces that happens, no point trying to do it for the old version when the 4.8 stuff changes.

I FIXED IT !! But I have no idea why it fixed it......... I changed the guide "channel display" to display to both, then the order to "favourites, then default channel number" and it's working. I have spent days, literally, on this, and It seems that the little changes have made the guide rebuild itself. I hope this helps someone else, and saves them the hours I've spent on it.

This feels like a relatively simple thing to implement, no? I feel like adding adding a play button that just downloads and tries to open the file in the default reader of the OS would be reasonable for non-web clients, at least iOS and Android.

Are you sure you have Play next episode automatically enabled in settings as it works for me.

Normally, I'd say that's a great idea. But once you make a mistake you are done. At least now I know removing 200 tags will do me no good.

If the field is blank, then it could use whatever is configured for the server. And if the server had no Remote IP Address Filter configured, then the user would have no network restrictions. The field can be optional.

Thank you did the trick!

I figured it out. I set IP4 to manual to keep a static IP. I did the same on both the Raspberry Pi and the Windows machine. Moving the devices over to another network screwed it up. Changed the settings back to DHCP and it I was able to connect again.

Thanks, guys much appreciated. Settings for the TV are a bit different than the tut, but easy enough to figure out since I always do debugging on my phone. The APK is installed and we are watching the latest episode of Vigil in Emby now. Thanks again.

Latter, until standard app gets into the store.

I always us the latest version. 1.6.7 at the time of the post.

Sorry for the late reply, but I was away for the weekend. In the meantime I have made the adjustments and it works! I only entered Dutch and Netherlands in the libraries tab, "advanced". So In summary : In the library tab " advanced": "desired metadata language" "Language" Dutch "Country" Netherlands In the library folder : "desired metadata download language " all fields are left blank. " country" all fields are left blank. "desired download language for images": all fields are left blank. In the movie itself "change metadata" "desired metadata download language " all fields are left blank. " country" all fields are left blank. "lock this item...." unchecked Everything works fine now! To everyone who helped, many thanks for your time and patience!

Hi, I’ve not heard of one but you could always use the Emby api.

Hi Luke. I was unable to access the logs so I restarted Emby server. I was then unable to bring up the browser interface so I rebooted my iMac. After doing that I was able to delete the user. So no idea what got stuck but I'm ok now. Thanks though.

OK we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

Hi, with Google TV it is a cloud based feature and not something that would be possible to make dynamic for each individual Emby Server.

No! I didn’t even realize that setting existed under advanced. Just switched it to remember.

YES - Thanks much!

Hi, I've just added them, but most of the text used by the Emby Apple TV app is in the All Apps set that is shared by all of our apps. There's only a few app-specific phrases in the tvOS set.

@tmysikit really look nice you should make a GitHub public release I think many Emby users would be interested.

That would indicate that the player is probably not getting fed data fast enough - which would point to a network issue. If you bring up the stats for nerds, you don't see any dropped frames do you?

I completely agree. A while back Emby had a period where they would frequently release new versions, and it was not a good time. It got so bad I would not installing anything without first waiting on forum comments on the release.

Silly question but have you checked for extended tags? Alt-T in mp3tag should show them if present.

I made progress well sort of, i noticed with Kega-Fusion it showed a missing bios so i added one and it now loads but it hits this screen and keeps flashing every so often and going no far. Also if it may be of use for anyone i have two pdf's which feature an extensive list of commands for various emulators i found online whilst searching for them if it will be of use to anyone? Emulator Commands 1.pdf Emulator Commands 2.pdf

OK we'll look at getting the Roku app caught up. Thanks.

Hi, I can see value in knowing album vs single vs ep and studio vs live, Compilation (a guess they could be either). @Luke, @ebr I think you can get some of this from Picard's standard tag "RELEASETYPE:" it seems to be a multi value ie : album;live Below are a couple of ffprobe results examples, ffprobe REALEASETYPE (album;live).txt ffprobe REALEASETYPE (album).txt Thanks, -vicpa

yeah have a play, create a new plugin just for movies might be a good option.

Hardware, yes. Can't say I've ever seen a stream from m3u file restarted. It should keep retrying right up until the recording is scheduled to finish. Yes, it probably is, see below. Based on that article At present we have a setting of --reconnect_delay_max 2. Reconnect itself was never activated. The setting of 2 only allowed the immediate retry, followed by another 1 second later. ffmpeg will retry up to 127 seconds but not any longer than that. However, it's important to understand this means we've retried at 1 second, 3 seconds, 7 seconds, 15, 31 & 63 so the total pattern looks like this: 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127 which took 247 seconds (4 minutes 7 seconds) in total with 7 additional retries. A max value of 15 would get 4 retries over 26 seconds. A max value of 31 would get 5 retries over 57 seconds which seems about right to me as a starting point. We should beef up the parameters used as some only cover http(s) and some only the connection stage while others are used after the connection is made. Others are for network. -reconnect 1 This is what turns the feature on so must be present. -reconnect_on_network_error 1 covers issues at the network level -reconnect_on_http_error 4xx,5xx is used only for the initialization of the stream. -reconnect_streamed 1 is needed to restart on http(s) issues after the initial connection We should be able to use reconnect_at_eof as well since we don't process .mpd files from dash streams. If set then eof is treated like an error and causes reconnection which is useful for live / endless streams. -reconnect_delay_max 31 is what I'd suggest we use Based on article the command line should look similar to this: -reconnect 1 -reconnect_on_http_error 4xx,5xx -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_at_eof 1 -reconnect_on_network_error 1 -reconnect_delay_max 31

Jellyseerr is Google??? that’s awesome… i knew they were upto something…. mwahahha!! and they would have got away with it if wasn’t for those pesky kids

The Idea: Collection for Tags Why? It would solve the problem with not having Smart playlists in a smart and new cool way. There are a lot possible tags that fits in same category and with some creativity there are a lot cool dynamic collections possible. And i don't think this would need much work for the emby team to implement as almost everything is in emby already. I will explain on 1 example collection: Collection Superheros - here i add superhero tags like Batman, Spiderman, Iron man, Wonder woman etc. - When i now click on this colleciton i see the list of this tags - when choose for example "batman" i get all movies/shows/etc. that have the tag batman What Collections would be possible? (examples) - Collection: Superheros (tags: Spiderman, Thor, Iron Man, etc.) - Collection: Martial Arts (tags: Kung Fu, Karate, Shaolin, Ninja, Samurai, etc.) - Collection: Wars (tags: Vietnam war, Iraq War, World war 1, World War 2, etc.) - Collection: History (tags: prehistory, Ancient Times, Rome, Ancien greece, Middle age, Vikings, etc.) - Collection Privat Videos (Home Videos) (tags: Grandma, Paul, peter, Mary , whatever ...) - Collection Holydays (tag: Christmas, Helloween, etc.) What would be great to have: - A Mainpage Widget that show this collections (would be great when each collection can have own sort title or number so the admin can decide the order) *most tags listed in my examples are available on TMDB anyway and people have them scraped already

Hi This is a really good idea! Collections, however, refer to existing functionality in emby. To avoid confusion, I have been calling this Tag types or groups. Same thing. In the above example the type or group would be "superheros" and the tags Batman etc. For me I would not want them to show up on the collection view, as they are different things. The regular tag view would be fine.. If it was sorted or aggregated by group. For example.. (Header) SuperHeros: Batman (tag) Wonder woman (tag) This would work for a variety of media type. Movies music etc. and variety of aggregations. @Luke this is what I was suggesting as a way to handle music "Styles". The group/type would be "Style" and then the various tags "Big Band" etc would be sorted/aggregated by group. -vicpa

To add, I would love if Country was a tab at the top like "Genre" is.
