Thanks, this actually helped me alot to know it`s not the transcoding. I swiched out some hardware and it seems there was a priority problem with the router, maybe it went too hot or whatever, but after swaping it out, it actually works again without any stuttering. Thanks for the great engagement guys and have nice evening

Ok I think you are right, I use my hotspot on my iphone and reinstall the app and I can see the welcome page. I connect to my server with Emby Connect with no problems. After this I reconnect to my box and it stay like this So I think the problem come with my proxy configuration like you saied, the Emby app try to connect to the server but due to the docker local configuration, it was unreachable. Thanks for your help !

yes its a 64

Oooh - sounds a LOT like it...yup just looked & THERE IT IS!! Oh I DO say - how wonderful of you - thanks very much, clearly it was the phrase "keyword recording" which I was stupidly unable to work out! I often find that with googling things, it helps if you use the right words! Oh I'm going to LOVE this... Thank you very much

Here are my questions hopefully this time clearly phrased as questions with ? at the end... 1. During the 4.8 beta I and others made various criticisms of the process. Personally, I would support the points made by @richtabove. Will Emby take these issues on board in future? 2. I also was very surprised how the 4.8 release dropped, 2 years of development without, as far as I could see, much done to prepare the userbase for the wave of changes that were coming. Normally there would be release notes with major changes, what to look out for, etc etc. It seems like the whole thing was simply dropped onto the unsuspecting users. Will the Emby team seek to improve this experience for the userbase in future? 4. Will sound extras again be playable, as they were in 4.7 but no longer are in 4.8, already noted by someone else and I plus-oned it? 5. Will there be a way to handle TV episodes that are a single episode in TVDB but split into multiple episodes in all available media (many examples, such as all early Taggart stories which are shown as single episodes on TVDB but were in reality both transmitted and released on DVD as 3 part stories)?

There must be an internal way to do this already - as the likes of favorites, playlists, collections, and more recently, New Releases Row etc, all can reference existing items and present that to the end user without duplicating that item. All we want (3rd party devs) is to be able to do the same - and use this 'pointer to the item' in our own playlists/libraries/channels etc I'm hoping the new smart playlists will bring the framework to do it ..

Similar to this old post, I'm suggesting a tab that would be titled Watchlist and could be placed in between Suggestions and Favorites. The functionality would pretty much be a copy of Favorites, just with a + symbol added next to the heart and other symbols that let you favorite a movie etc. The previous post had mentioned extra functionality such as automatically removing a movie from Watchlist after it has been watched. This would be nice, but is unnecessary because after watching a movie you can simply click the + symbol a second time to remove it from Watchlist. I would imagine this would be very easy to implement as a rebranded copy of Favorites. Adding other features could come later. Edit: added link to old post

Are there any plans or considerations for an Emby Theater unlock option that is tied to the user account and not the server? Not sure how it would work but i'd be willing to pay $20 to $30 one time to unlock that functionality in just the Windows desktop app. I want to be able to direct playback media from a server that is shared with me that doesn't have Premiere. This would let us support the project (emby) if we don't have our own hosted server. I have thought about buying Emby Premiere lifetime but it seems that wouldn't help since that isn't my server. I can use a web browser for playback but that transcodes a lot more.

Let me try to recreate it and post it.

Thank you. That worked! I have the storage space back now and everything appears to be working even though the folders containing imagecache are now empty.

Have not been able to reproduce this on local 4.8.1.0 or online 4.8.1.3 web client.

OK well I greatly appreciate the quick helpful support! Bookmarked it.

I will download it and try it and get back with you!

Under the server metadata folder, do a recursive search for any directories named imagecache and thumbnailcache and delete those.

Thk a lot !

They said NOTHING about illegal content. Pretty tacky to jump to that conclusion. I'm with the OP on this being intergrated. I don't know the laws in other countries but here in the states we are allowed to record one copy of a show or movie for our own personal use as long as we get the channel the content is provided by.

@Teddyknuddel deine aggressive nerft einfach nur noch bleibe bei Plex und sie glücklich!

How is it that this thread has been up for 2 years and the only responses have said you are working on it and now it's about the legality of it?

Catch-up TV is not illegal, but you don't need to know who it's from to enable it emby like it is in Tivimate do you?

I am confused by your searches as your "age baby" should return nothing unless you have that tag. But yes you will get all partial matchs for single works.

Then you should direct your query to that server admin(s) as no commercial server is in no way affiliated with nor supported by Emby.

on the dashboard it shows the ARTIST with the one song.. I deleted the artist from the dashboard. Did a SCAN of the whole music library to make sure it didn't DELETE the albums and it did not.

That would be ideal yes, just put something identifiable in the name (?) as you obviously only want to do this for certain playlists. As you can see in the script - I just hunt for [WATCHLIST] in the name but there is probably a smarter way to do this. And yes for new users, I guess setting up the watchlist and permissions would need to happen. What's your thoughts on integrating ? Maybe take it PM if you like rather than put in your Plugin support thread ?

Probably not. I personally like my ATV4k more than my shield pro. You can use infuse as your front end and it’ll connect to Emby and that may improve your experience. I use Emby regularly and for the most part it works fine, but it’s definitely lacking

It works lol - it's just a crappy windows batch file that reads the playlists for each user on a schedule, creating new strm and support files each time like your plugin does. For All users (spotlight) it just uses the landscape jpg as the poster - and thus they look bigger on screen. @echo off setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION set strmLibraryDrive=\\ c: cd \batch\watchlist FOR /F "delims=" %%x in ('dir /a-s /b /s C:\Emby-Server\programdata\data\userplaylists\[WATCHLIST]*.m3u') DO ( set watchlistuser=%%x echo. echo ---- echo watchlist user - !watchlistuser! echo ---- FOR /F "delims=: tokens=1,2 eol=" %%a in ('findstr /C:PLAYLIST: "!watchlistuser!"') DO ( set playlistuser=%%b set playlistuser=!playlistuser:[WATCHLIST] =! echo playlistuser - !playlistuser! del /s /q "\\media\Watchlist\!playlistuser!\*.*" rd /s /q "\\media\Watchlist\!playlistuser!\" ) FOR /F "delims=: tokens=1,2 eol=" %%a in ('findstr /C:file: "!watchlistuser!"')

It would be great to have that sort of functionality added into the Top Picks Plugin ..

@lordairivis I've seen this before. What happened was, at some point during an Emby update, the library manager object in the core changed, and Top Picks lost its "Type". We need to reset the Top Picks Library as "Mixed Content". You can either set this yourself, and refresh the library, or you can remove the Top Picks Library from Emby, and restart the Server which will reset everything for you. Sorry for the inconvenience there. Let me know how it goes.

Yeah it's ok thanks for identifying the problem.

https://github.com/Cheesegeezer/MediaInfoWiki/wiki/Various-OS-Installation-Help This may help - if it's not listed here, then unfortunately it is not supported.

Yes exactly.

We'll look at making that recovery faster. Thanks.

Do not restore the entire backup; just use the 'extract data from backup' button at the bottom to import only user data from a full backup.

Hi, we'll take a look at this. Thanks for reporting.

so.... glitch 2022 is really a glitch. LOL

It won’t have anything to do with tvmaze just fyi.

Okay yes there is a hidden cache cleanup task that runs daily and deleted anything 30 days old and rebuilt as needed. 2024-02-26 02:45:20.961 Debug TaskManager: IntervalTrigger fired for task: Cache file cleanup 2024-02-26 02:45:20.961 Debug TaskManager: Queueing task DeleteCacheFileTask 2024-02-26 02:45:20.961 Debug TaskManager: Executing Cache file cleanup 2024-02-26 02:45:25.335 Debug TaskManager: Cache file cleanup Completed after 0 minute(s) and 4 seconds But you can delete all cache at anytime and it will rebuild what it needs.

If you've solved it then that's ok. Thanks for the update !

You have two kinds of people on the forums enough to notice this thread... people frustrated with immediate issues they're having, or people frustrated with longer term issues/requests/the state of Emby and its development. Right or wrong, these people are kinda fixated on these things and feel like every second not talking about it is another second the Emby team is let off the hook, and a Q&A really just opens the door for more of it. I'm having a hard time coming up with a question that I feel like the team might actually be comfortable answering knowing the pipeline, development and basically questions about Emby as a whole are off the table lol... this is something I'm genuinely curious about though... If development were to ever cease someday and any Premiere license check servers go offline, does the team have a plan? Would you consider pushing out an update that allowed Emby Premiere features (ie. hardware transcoding) to work fully offline?

Hi, yes it answered my question so in that aspect the thread can be closed. However I am not using the Emby app for watching downloaded content offline, in the case of tv shows i am still experiencing situations where some episodes are not downloaded even if they are visible in the download queue. So for that very specific case i use Yatse instead. But Emby app is great on local network or remotely to stream from NAS. Taking the chance of this post to congratulate on last version of Ember server: works like a charm, much faster than what it was before. great job!

Thanks, guys I am aware of the 3 dot thing, but for some reason, the reports plugin is also not working. These two issues combined are making it a little difficult to review what is missing. I think the old way was better, so you can see missing ones and upcoming ones within the series without pressing that button I don't even think it's available on the Apple TV which we all use primarily, I don't use a browser other than for administration. I use that function all the time and I am sad to see it go. It's hitting me more since it has been gone so long. I have been waiting for the update, but I don't have a way to figure it out while we wait for it. I also don't know of any performance issues with emby and I have a 63TB server. Hopefully, it can be a toggle in the future. Thank you

Having spent a couple of decades working in product development and product marketing, it makes a lot of sense to me that Emby doesn't (and won't) publicly discuss its future product roadmap (even just a little bit). I can't think of too many high-tech companies that do? Generally it comes down to: Company (Business priorities can and do change for many various reasons - financial hurdles, technical roadblocks...) Competitors (The golden rule - never ever let the other guys know what you are doing, but learn all you can about them!) Customers (Communicate well - but don't put the company in a compromising position by giving competitors any undue advantage.) Anyway, perhaps Emby could also answer these questions: What is Emby's history and product evolution? (newcomers may like to know) Who do you see as your main competitors and what are your product advantages over theirs? What do you see as future trends regarding (e.g.) industry consolidation, local media vs streaming, local storage vs cloud storage, emerging technical platforms and newer audio/video media formats...

@tmm1- Welcome!

Nope - Emby as a whole will never get bad enough to drive me to Plex. If somehow Emby went away tomorrow, I'd go back to using Kodi and SMB shares before I would support Plex. They are the antithesis to who I want to support. Emby developers - so far in my experience - are real people and not greedy sellouts. Is there a roadmap or changelog where users can see what progress is being made on the Apple app? No offence, but I've seen forum posts that are 4+ years old asking for these things.

ive had it im filing suit against emby first thing in the morning ive literally spen 6 hours trying to get my mom reconnnected and downloaded emby 20 + times and it still wott connect on either of her fire tv cubes. fix your god damn system

Sounds like a Florida MAGA is just having a go here. Just ignore these rants, not worth the hassle looking in to.

Two suggestions: (1) Have a UPS to condition the power to your computer, and make power loss more controlled. A mere power loss doesn't usually require a reinstallation of Windows. (2) A backup, to remove the need for most rescanning. Also, what do you mean by "reauthorising the apps"? Surely they are authorised through the store you bought them from. The server, without Premiere, is free - why do you think the server is asking you to restore a purchase, and why would that lead to rescanning? Paul

+1, I just found this thread after experiencing the same "why am I seeing albums, not artists?" question after tapping on a genre. However it's done under the covers, you might include an Album/Artist toggle at the top, along with the Play/Shuffle/Sort/Filter options.

@hthgihwaymonk is correct. I meant that that it works via a web browser without any "time limits" but it transcodes, because the browser can't direct play all types of media. Emby Theater uses MPV under the hood so can direct play. This is why I wanted an unlock for emby theater like there is one for AndroidTV/Firestick, etc... I however feel that Emby Theater access is probably worth more than $5 one time so I'm suggesting the unlock being more money ($20 to $30). I should have been more clear. Apologies for that

+1 for this. Album view is not my idea of the default way to organize my screen.

I have a huge music collection and totally agree that under genres, sorting by album name is completely useless. I want to sort by artist. So adding Artist in the sort field seems reasonable to me.

Having a watch later list can be very useful. I imagine I'm not the only one who spends a lot of time finding something to watch and see a few things that I might want to watch at some point in the future but forget about them if they are not in a list somewhere. Yes you can create playlists, use Favorites or some external list keeping service but they are all more involved than they need to be. Something similar to Favorites in functionality but with the ability to remove items from "Watch Later" automatically after you are done watching them would be nice. And add what you want to "Watch Later" with an easy to access button similar to favorites. Easily accessible, easy to add and remove items. (Very similar to favorites) Removes items after you are done watching them. It should not be affected by a previous watch status, as in if you have watched something before you should still be able to use this functionality.
