Could be all the questions about the pending 4.8 update are taking their toll...... I just wish users would figure out that it will get done sooner if Luke and crew don't have to answer 50 questions a day asking when it will be released......

He is a fun guy btw, but for years now he did not have time to ... laugh

I am testing a selfhosted repository that I created for emby. At the moment it only supports the i386/amd64 releases of emby. I will add the others by due time. I created two releases, one for stable and one for beta. echo 'deb https://repo.amhosting.de/ubuntu beta main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby.list or echo 'deb https://repo.amhosting.de/ubuntu stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby.list The Repository is signed with the following Key : 3B6E 90FE 3203 A81F Import it : curl -fsSl https://repo.amhosting.de/repo-key.pub | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/repo.amhosting.gpg Check that the key is successfully installed sudo apt-key list You should find something like this After that you should be able to install emby with sudo apt install emby-server This Repo also works for all Debian based systems.

I know, that's the downside. I'm using the 16/9 and 4/3 images availabe, with preview and thumb also being selectable on the Android TV client. It's the only way for I know of for separate images for TV and films.

I found out that emby plays dv but only certain ones. But the files need to be played with the automatic setting for quality that way emby plays them directly.. Also noticed even though the file is dv it won't always play them. It plays files that are fel just fine but anything else it doesn't play dv at all just hdr.. so there's something missing in the emby package where it doesn't want to play dv on Mel and other files only fel ones.

Again, people who don't understand "standards". End of the day, files should conform to the standards that were created. You should not expect devs to be able to magically make every single file play, especially when it's outside of the standards of the player. As stated, Plex possibly strips the layers on the fly. Your bad choice in pirated content is your problem.

Right side of the timeline says -42:00 / 15:09... Hmmm Perhaps the time code is not properly set in the video. This can happen when the video source is copied from a DVD source and the container of the video is never remuxed. DVD's videos take their timecode from other files. So, if the video file is copied without resetting the time code with by creating a new container, then the video exists without proper time code. I hope that makes sense. Try remuxing it with a video converter and just copy the video and audio into a new file with the same container and see if that cleans up the source video. What makes it more confusing is that some 3rd party players automatically tweak something in these damaged files and are able to play them back. Browser playback never includes that sophistication, because it needs to be lean and run on a browser for everything, so it browser playback on damaged files fails and 3rd party playback makes it seem that the problem is not in the file, when it is. I think this is accurate, but does anyone know if there is something to correct in my description.

This works brilliantly, thank you! Apologies for not being able to test this sooner, it's been a crazy coupe of weeks!

Changelog: Added other arches to the repo (armhf & amd64) Added all available downloads to beta which were publicly available ( 4.8.0.74 and 4.8.0.75) Added the last 7 stable releases - 4.7.8.0 to 4.7.14.0 This Repo is now self updating whenever emby releases a new version.

@Senzodiak Ich nutze dafür immer einen Ordner Season 00 und lege da zur Serie gehörende Filme ab, die werden dann innerhalb der Serie als Specials angezeigt. Für mich funktioniert das gut. Möglich, dass es aber bessere Lösungen gibt. Gruß Eddie

Thanks - I figured it was either still on your list or already baked in. I just checked and it looks like it is not available for the beta server as of yet. No rush though, next-gen 8 is working great for me, so I'm in no hurry to upgrade.

OK yes we are already looking into that. Thanks.

Roku doesn't support PGS. The server burns them in with transcoding and the Roku is never even aware that there is a subtitle track, even though you can see them on screen.

Roger that and thanks for the quick response.

Did @ebrupdate the AI on the @Lukebot? I think it made a funny...

I added "Cast to TV" to the "Playlist" screen. You can now play the playlist on any Emby client on your network. Click "Cast to TV" then select from the drop down list the Client you wish to cast to. Then click "Play Video" to start the video playing. After the movie starts you can monitor its progress by clicking the "monitor' button

I am testing a selfhosted repository that I created for emby. I took @Geckoscript, and modified it for my needs, It just checks for updated binaries, downloads them and puts them into the repo. At the moment it only supports the i386/amd64 releases of emby. I will add the others by due time. I created two releases, one for stable and one for beta. echo 'deb https://repo.amhosting.de/ubuntu beta main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby.list or echo 'deb https://repo.amhosting.de/ubuntu stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby.list The Repository is signed with the following Key : 3B6E90FE3203A81F Import it : curl -fsSl https://repo.amhosting.de/repo-key.pub | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/repo.amhosting.gpg After that you should be able to install emby with sudo apt install emby-server This Repo also works for all Debian based systems.

Thank you.

Hi, we are looking into it. Thanks.

Thanks Luke. Will do so.

The Forum admins should be able to help you with that... I'm really missing this plugin in the beta server... more to the point, my wife misses it...

@LukeThank you for looking into the issue. I posted in the emby subreddit and someone suggested using Channels and adding the tuners to it and then using the m3u stream and guide data in emby. I set this up and it works but I am hoping to not renew Channels and use Emby for everything. Hopefully you can come up with a solution to access all of the tuners.

I still pop in here from time to time to make sure nothing has fallen apart and it's so awesome to see the community involvement!! Thanks to everyone for their support, comments, and donations on these and I hope to revisit the project this year and make some improvements.

I'm hoping to win the lottery as well. Wonder which'll happen first / at all...

Yup, down to the nitty gritty.

Ouch, should we alert all linux users that they can't use collections? No, collections work just fine. What I would suggest is focus less on the contents of the server data folder and focus more on creating collections using the user interface. Are you able to manually create a collection using the user interface? let's start with that.

If you just want to remux what you already have automatically, then just use mkvmerge (part of the mkvtoolnix collection) mkvmerge -o output.mkv input.mkv You can use pretty much use any input file format (mkv,mp4,ts etc) and mkvmerge will sort it out for you and put in a new mkv container. Note it just remuxes it to the container - it doesn't attempt to 'encode' or do anything with the contents (in it's simplest form above anyway) - thus all tracks are remuxed 'as is'. There are also mkvmerge GUI's/batch processing tools out there if you have lots of files to convert.

To wrap up my piece on this. I’ve been sharing the awesomeness of Emby lately and am going to keep doing that. The idea is to drive engagement and keep people interested as long as I need to. I’m working on a bunch of different things as well and can’t wait to keep moving forward. I myself have been waiting eagerly for the stable release while also checking out the beta!

One of the things I’d like to do is get all of us Emby folks together on a zoom or or something and talk. Would love to pick your brains about what you see and hear as well. To your second point…. A lot of the feedback I’m hearing is that it should have been released long before even then. And as difficult as it is with these promises missed…. I’m trying to keep Emby in a very positive light. Working to share what makes us so awesome etc.

well after reading that i am 100% informed anyway the question was - what new functionality was supposed to have been implemented that caused the the regression that now needs fixing. the answer seems to be no-one knows, and he who knows is not answering

It's at least 45 movies, as most (if not all) of my 4k movies, I also have in 1080p; and very small amount of my YIFY movies (720p versions) I also have in 1080 and 4k; family/friends wanted them to play on phone or tablet, so got smaller versions. So there are probably in the 60 range movies that should have multiple versions. Every single one that I have checked, they have not "Version" together.

Hi, we're getting there. Hopefully soon.

Personally, I would love to have the ability to create custom rows on the frontpage without having to write a plugin to create a "channel". I was pretty excited when I read about this "collections on frontpage" thing in the patchnotes, but I quickly realized that it's pretty much useless in its current form. It just saves you one click on the collections library. And only if You search for a collection starting with A or B. Otherwise you have to click 10 times on the right button^^ It would be much better, if we could put the contents of a single collection into a row on the frontpage, similar to how Plex let you do this. This way you could personalize your home screen and make it much more dynamic and interesting. This in combination with automatically maintained collections and the ability to change the collection rows on the frontpage via the API, so that You could change them programmatically via scripts, for example to put your own season collections automatically on the top of everything at the right time. Or to just change them around randomly or via a timed schedule. Endless possibilities.

What is your setting for "Date added behaviour for new content" in Settings>Library>Advanced tab?

Messing around with this tonight Version 2:

Truenas Scale is Debian based.
