It can only play theme songs if they are included in your media. Delete the files and they won't play. Paul

Luke does not exist, here on forum Luke is a AI script.

Ok just an update I ended up splitting the files up with mkvtoolnix, thanks again guys!

I can run a cord as a test, but it would only be for testing purposes. It would be a tripping hazard otherwise. I have both 2.4 & 5GHz available and the TV automatically chooses the stronger signal, 5Ghz naturally. I don't know how to measure interference and there might be something to that; however it would be from things inside my house and not a neighbor. The nearest house is beyond my wifi range and I am pretty sure that little old lady doesn't have internet. I'll research how to measure interference and test with a wired connection later tonight.

Thanks, I think I will leave it until after Christmas now and install 4.8 in whatever form it is in then.

If you pay for annual instead then Luke might live longer as it could sustain his life support.

Its working now. I just had to wait a little bit longer

I recently had a chat with Charly Owen from the WMC team - they were 300 people...

Your user has all remux/transcode options disabled, so it would be safe to assume no transcoding is taking place during any session, evidenced also by your screenshot, as said by @Luke.

This is THEIR thing and I buy them the tickets and I am the taxi....it is a bonding experience for my wife and the kids. Today I took the wife and kids to my parents and we made Christmas cookies all day as a family. I do many things with them and other things I let their mom have them alone. It's been this way since I have known them. If they asked me to go I would have. This is the first Christmas my wife has her kids to herself since she got rid of her useless ex who controlled her through the kids and we are doing things any way she chooses. I know what I am doing.

You will need to split the episodes up and name them like SxxExx

Apologies if this has been asked before - I searched, but couldn't find anything. I have a number of Looney Tunes blu-ray collections that I'm trying to save on Emby - the Platinum Collections, the Collector's Choice, etc. These are unique in that there are around 20 shorts on each disc but a) they are not TV shows, they are "movies" in effect and b) they are not presented in any kind of chronological order, they're just randomly sequenced. When I save them as movies they are displayed as separate movies, not linked together as a "collection". And when I save them as a series, Emby gets properly confused because there are no season numbers. Right now the file names are tagged with V01E01 etc. rather than S01E01 etc. Is there an official way to group these by collection, with sequential access as I would a TV series, or do I need to fudge it somehow? Thanks!

I took my wife and 4 step kids to the light show at the zoo. Normally I go do something for a couple hours and then pick them up. Last night we got there early so there was easy parking so I decided to just sit there. Made a phone call then had nothing to do and then I realized I had emby on my phone. Next thing you know my phone was cradled hands free in the bottom of my truck's steering wheel and I was watching movies on emby. The time passed quickly and I enjoyed the movie. I realize this is one of the things emby is for but it is not something I thought I would never use as I'd rather cuddle up on the couch, lay in bed, or sit in my comfy chair in my office and watch a movie, and it was definietely cool sitting there realizing all the technology we have at our disposal. Being old it still amazed me. I used to carry multiple large boxes of cassette tapes in my car for my personal music and now I can either stream over 100K songs from my emby server or use the 20K+ that reside on my phone.....but to watch a movie from home that I recorded off TCM while sitting in a parking lot downtown was quite the leap from those old days. Kids don't realize how spoiled they are LOL.....but they are having their creativity stolen and their brains turned to oatmeal, but that is a different topic. I just wanted to thank and wish a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all those that work hard at emby to give us all this great product that has totally transformed my life and how I think about and use my huge media collection.

Agree, whether it starts manually or automatically, it would be nice to see the suggestions once the theme is active.

@Luke This is fixed in 1.6.9, thanks.

May want to check SHEILD - Settings - Apps - Special App Access - Picture-in-Picture & also display over other apps and see if Emby is turned on. I was surprised this was even an option since I have never encountered this, but I use Kodi 99% of the time anyway. I do have this enabled on my phone though remotely, play's in a small box over maps

And that's a bummer because a lot of us like to watch holiday movies all month.

Hi, we'll pass this onto Gracenote. Thanks.

Disregard, issue resolved on Sparkle side, not plugin

Nothing that has changed. Firewall and Security is the Windows 11 built-in software. I have VPN software, but it is not running on the machine that is hosting Emby server. I also tried disabling the firewall and then installing, still failed. Eventually found the problem, IPv6 on my ISP Community Fibre (CF) - in casethiss of use to another user. I have recently moved and although it offers IPv6 (DHCP-PD) and is recognised as such Test your IPv6. (test-ipv6.com) running tracert show that the connection defaults of IPv6, but after connecting to the main CF infrastructure, on the 5th hop, all future hops time out. Disabling IPv6 solves the problem, so less than ideal.

I just got the update today and tested. Seems to be working as intended.

That's fine, then. But that's really something for you to determine for yourself - we can't know how you will judge cost. The first question I would ask is where would the media be; storage could easily add up to more than the processing power required, especially as it requires bandwidth as well (cheap storage deals often have limits on the amount transferred). The number of clients will depend a lot on the bandwidth you require per stream - whether you want to serve 60Mbps UHD Bluray rips, or are content with 2Mbps FHD, and whether you will want to have on-the-fly transcoding or not.

This seems to be fixed in the latest beta version (4.8.0.63). I added some new channels without vacuuming the database and the channel icons did not get messed up.

I have no idea, I do not make any money from it, it is just for my friends and family.

fixed, thanks!

The ET tv guide will advance to the correct time after you stop watching a show and return to the guide but if you leave it on the guide it will not advance automatically. I kept the guide open all night and the next morning it was still stuck at last night's time. Had to exit it out and back in to get it to refresh.

Even if Emby had 300 people, I'm fairly sure TVNext still wouldn't have been integrated

With more channels, it seems to me even more important to have fast channel switching.. It's not the format which made things faster. It's the technology behind, called the StreamBufferEngine. It allows "reading-while-writing", so the player side was able read the data at the very same moment it was made available for writing, because data near the "live edge" was buffered in memory. Read-write from the same file is basically possble with any file and without a "StreamBufferEngine", as that is an OS feature, but the big difference is that something needs to be written to disk first before it can be read again and reading always needs to wait until a certain chunk has been written - hence the delay. Current Emby uses this method. TVnext is following a similar approach like the StreamBufferEngine (but less complicated and not with a custom format), which means that that the TV streams are processed in memory and sent to clients directly (if at the live edge), so it can happen that stream data is on its way to the client even before it has been written to disk. Changing frequency/transponder adds about 0.5-1.5s for cable and satellite unless the satellite dish needs to be moved to a different position. The only other thing what adds is decryption in case of scrambled signals but rarely more than 2-3s (all in case of DVB). Probably because it's IPTV now, which is technically different from those online "IPTV providers" (where you can get a picture quickly, but it's half a minute behind).

In your screenshot above it is not transcoding. Why do you think it is?

As said, if it were transcoding, your SFN and/or serever Dashboard would tell you that, together with Reason for transcoding and appropriate ffmpeg logs would be generated. Do you have any of those in your Logs folder?

Interesting I will say that I am not super familiar with mkvtoolnix but will take a look at it and see what I can do, thank you guys for all the suggestions!

From what I've read, Emby has done some homework and found that the average home user typically does not exceed the 25 device limit. I never have, but then my environment is very limited. So I'm curious, have you exceeded the 25 device limit in a home user environment? Remember that the very misleading "Devices" display on the Emby management page has nothing to do with the devices counted against the limit.

Nothing, homevideo nodes has some bugs. It's almost fixed in my test version, and I'll release a new one in the next days. I was just checking, if I missed something to review. There are many ways to use the dynamic nodes... btw, the issue affects also some other dynamic nodes, but not as much as for homevidoes.

OK, an update to the trakt plugin is going up to add this option. Thanks.

Maybe the file is only 2 mbps?

That was it. I hadn't put they key in. Worked after I did that. Thank you for your help!

mkvtoolnix makes it very quick and easy to split the file per episode, if you're open to the solution MBSki alluded to.

The way I handle that is I name the video as episode 1, and then I create an strm file pointed at the same video file, but call it episode 6. It's not elegant at all, but it saves time from having to split the file into 2 which is the other option.

hi, there is currently no way to do this. It's on the list in the event we ever revamp this. Thanks.

Hello. Thanks for your help. I'll be gone for a few days. When I get back I will do what you suggest. In any case, in the other installations that I have done on Chromecast TV, although it has not been reported that Emby has stopped working, what has happened is that it has stopped updating the database and I have observed that since the update to the latest version of Emby, can you think of why that might be? Thank you so much.

Have you explored Stats For Nerds to find out what is the reason for transcoding? You can also post here ffmpeg log created for one of those sessions. Also, what is your in-app streaming bandwidth set to (Settings>Playback tab)? If it's Auto, try setting some fixed value high enough that it covers all item bitrates.

@rbknoxcan you please try this again and let us know if it's still an issue? Thanks.

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.

Emby Music Ideas In the beginning I want to say once again that I LOVE EMBY Because I love music same as movies. Emby now replaced all my Qnap apps, Plex, and maybe in the future even more? Some my ideas how to make Emby Music better (in my opinion): Music: Click on the TITLE to show on track the Playlist window - most of the times playlist is fixed position if you don’t scroll. I have 30k tracks, so it’s impossible for me to find actual playing song ———————————— Music: add “Play 100 Random Track” , “Top Rated”, “Never Player” - please, please, please ! Qnap made this very nice -> ————————— Settings -> Home Screen -> Music -> Default Screen: add: SONG from the drop menu. It’s my default place where I go. And maybe Favourite would be nice touch, as well ————— Add: Editing tab order Add: Favorite tab is missing ———— Add: Sorting by name, folder, date, time, size. Add: Visible Bpm, Size MB, Year info, when song plays. Add: 1-5 star rating for songs, would be nice. Add: Track number (!) Add: SEARCH box ! Please Add/Missing: Shuffle playlist - There is one Shuffle in the “Song” tab and when you press on the #tag. But missing on the actual player/playlist. Next to "loop/repeat" it's perfect place. ———— iOS Emby Music: I think me like many iPhone users love sliding across aps, photos, FB, Instagram, settings, when you actually don't have to press "BACK" button, or any other button but just slide... It would be amazing if we could slide "previous/next song", same as "volume up&down". ------ I'm not sure if it's even possible, but Emby it's more NAS tool. So maybe "Share this strack"? --------- Error/Bug: Missing "3 dots" for extra menu. I can't add song to favorite. ---------- Otherwise Emby "Music" is beyond what I could imagine Thank you Emby Team! Keep Going .

It wouldn't solve my case. There is no matching metadata provider entry for my file, story critical or otherwise. Emby needs to be smart enough not to try to identify at all if the extra is in one of the new folders and doesn't use the SXXEXX convention at all.

I think you would find the demand is quite high. And frankly, I am surprised that is not already on the road map for this feature set. I have seen many requests on the forum for the extras of a tv show to appear in a distinctly separate location in the UI, like it is for movies. A common suggestion being underneath the cast section.

Like youtube it would be nice to see what I have watched in the past. Obviously full history would be great, but even the last 20 etc would be helpful. For instance I just watched a file and I forgot the name, now it is off of most recent because I watched it but I would like to watch it again. @@Luke would this be easy to do?

I use TVHeadend on the same server as Emby in the following config and it is working perfectly: M3U - TV Source: http://localhost:9981/playlist/channels.m3u TVGuide Data Providers: http://localhost:9981/xmltv/channels All available channels and TV-Guides are working just fine. The only thing is that TV and Radio channels aren't seperated. Regards, Roru69
