@bakes82I meant that in the nicest way. The always putting Emby in the bad light while praise the other guys with good light. You come off like a sycophant. One that isn't rooting for the home team. So when you sit in the bleacher section on our side it becomes strange you root for the other side so often. It becomes less about what you post. More about that you feel you must post. Like above all you are the mouth piece for everyone here. There are others. They haven't posted because you sucked all the air out of this thread. You can pick Emby apart but you don't need to repeat the same things over and over to get your point across. We get it. You want things done at the speed of light. Damned how much it costs in dev time. Damned any family time you get to spend there. Everything must be done now. This is a small team really. It isn't some giant behemoth taking investors money with those investors demanding you return on their investment. It is a small team trying to do what you want. But time isn't endless and we all have real lives. There is a multitude of reasons why things take time. I really cannot explain why things take longer anywhere else except Roku. So please take what I say with a grain of salt. I am speaking from my own point of view. Not from the full Emby team point of view. Q) Why cant I know how many device slots are being used for premier? A) Because scumbags exist, read this as people who resell Emby subscriptions commercially to sell content they do not own copyright and then use to their financial advantage. Right now those scumbags have no idea how many slots they use, and then their paid subscribers come here and innocently disclose they bought from scumbags. Because bad people exist we cannot have nice things. Because bad people exist time must be spent chasing down that crap to try to bring it all down. Just stuff like that makes it harder to do nice things. Q) Why doesnt the appletv support DV? A) Because Apple does not make it easy. I do not know the real answer. But I suspect like on Roku, hard stuff takes longer... Q) Why hasnt the UI changed in how many years? A) Not sure I am fully following. Change the UI in which way? Can you elaborate on this? Q) Why cant I kill a stream as a server admin? A) A number of reasons. The client might not be able to be remotely controlled, like Roku. You would have to give a specific example where this happens for this to actually get solved. Q) Why dont movies auto group like series? A) Because movies have alternate cuts, extras, etc and you can already group multiple movies by version in the same folder. There is a plugin that exists can be manually installed that does this. I use that plugin. Luke has also mentioned this is coming in the future. It will make your library scanning take longer when it does. Q) Why cant I pin collections to the home screen A) Because I have no idea what that means. Did Luke add that to some app or say we were going to do that? Does that add more value than other featues being added first. What is the priority you think pinning stuff should be put at? Curious... Q) Why is there no A-Z to be able to quickly navigate to a section of movies/series? A) On which client? Do you mean on Apple TV for all these? I mean seriously I like the way you back to back the questions. More people need to do this. I seriously do not have an answer here. I can guess though. On Apple TV adding 27 small buttons in a row vertically off the left side is harder to do than the other apps? Otherwise wouldn't it already be done? I cannot only guess why. My answer when things aren't done is always going to be because it takes longer or is harder to do which may not be correct for others. I can only speak for myself. You obviously aren't here to discuss things with that attitude. Otherwise why on Earth would you ask me and quote me for the refund. I am the Roku dude. Is the Roku letting you down? Okay, if it lets you down then I fail. So then how can I help you? Otherwise you are just really here to slow us down. It serves no purpose to have this type of dialog just to salt the water and kill all life as your last comment. You were doing good up until the point everybody died. Kinda. Remember we are human beings just like you. So lets talk about your issues. The subpar experience is something you talk about but I do not see it coming from anyone else. How is this subpar? Please give us your honest opinion. Don't say copy the other guys. Honestly give us some kind of idea what you mean. Do you actually drive past though? I bet you stop at that guy occasionally, just to check prices so you can be sure you are selling yours for slightly less on the other corner? Haw.. see, I can joke around too. But seriously lighten up. We aren't crack heads out stealing mail to get your SSI check.

@speechles I haven't been following this whole post, just saw an interesting thread and jumped to the end. Sounds like it's been quite a row, but I appreciate Emby so much. I tried Plex, then switched to Emby, and have been very happy with the change. Between this and the main "Ask the devs" thread, they feel a little bit like "Beat up the devs" threads, but I appreciate what y'all are doing. I've had some of the best customer service of my life from the Emby team, keep it up.

Forget the TL just DR Problem Solved

NEWS! A final decision is imminent now. All I can say is that it will be either yes or no - but nothing half-way. No matter how the outcome - at this point I want to say a big thanks to all of you for your interest and for supporting this. Thanks to all the testers who participated in the initial beta for all your work and effort in helping this to become a successfull parrt of Emby. Also thanks to all the nice and friendly users and community members, moderators, admins and fellow developers who I've had the chance to work with and talk to so far, during the past few years! Best wishes, softworkz

This could be a fun plug-in. I don't think it would be necessary to have it be an integrated features. It would really just need to be a subtitle file with trivia.

@bakes82You are a strange bedfellow. One who constantly mentions ex-boyfriends and old lovers while in constantly company of the current boyfriend. You do know this is weird, right? Not being mean. Its just you come out just to try to knock us down or something compared to your old boyfriend/lover. Why is that? There is something about the universe that makes it seem to people this is acceptable lately? Because it is very off putting. Just find it strange.

@ShanePJust checking in to see how things are going. Lots of us are eagerly awaiting an update

Unless something has changed in the last couple years, I can assure you my Apple TV wouldn't play something from the server in my own house when the Plex service went down. And it wasn't that rare. The questions, I'm sure, have been debated endlessly elsewhere... But the over-arching theme with Plex is that it isn't one decision that someone may disagree with, it's the general direction of everything they do. Adding all the "free" content you could get elsewhere with countless other services (Pluto, Crackle) intermingled with your own content is a move towards becoming a streaming service... Tracking your log-ins through their service, rather than locally on your own network is a way to control access to content. That's important if you intend to charge for premium content down the road... Unless it has changed since I quit it, you couldn't even delete the play history of a user/e-mail address that you previously allowed to use your server. Now why keep play history of your sisters e-mail address indefinitely? Just more tracking data to market and sell.... Plex is moving from being a media server, to a streaming service that is nice enough to allow you to include your own media. No thanks. I'm all for these services making a buck... I like Emby... I want them to make a buck too. They do good work, they are always responsive to issues and even development requests for features... They should be paid for that. But I don't want another service tracking me, especially inside my own house. For me, every decision Plex was making was going in the wrong direction on that front...

Since with a lot of movies a chapter start corresponds with a fade-in, many chapter images are just plain black squares. It seems like a simple way to fix this would be to grab the chapter image from the chapter timestamp + 5 seconds or so. Is this something that seems feasible?

I searched but couldn't find a similar request. If one exists with or without all of the options below then please lock this one and point me in that direction. Now that all users are required to login with username and password at least once on each app/device it would be nice to have the option to use a one time password (OTP) for the initial login on any device but mainly TV apps and streaming devices where it's difficult to enter long strings. It doesn't need to be limited to initial login but should at least allow that. 1. Allow any user who is already logged in to an app or browser to generate a one time 4-6 character OTP for themselves to enter on a new app/device in order to login on said app. This would only log them into their account using the single OTP. 2. Allow an admin account to generate an OTP for any specified user to login. This would be useful for Emby admins to help remote users, particularly those who have difficulty with apps and on screen keyboard-remote combinations. Or to help household users while away from home... 3. The generated OTP would be associated with the corresponding user, either self or assigned by admin. No need to enter or select name on the app login screen, the OTP would suffice. 4. The OTP should be created with a short time to live, either fixed or configurable. I don't know enough about Emby Connect to suggest how it should/could work for those users. EDIT: Evidently Jellyfin has a similar feature called Quick Connect but I don't know if it also has the ability for admins to generate codes.

Please allow more flexibility and/or admin control over Parental Controls & Restrict Items With Tags. in its current state only one tag can be added at a time. Perhaps by allowing separating by comma or space between tags e.g and/or allow the use of wildcards so we can add similar name Tags in one line e.g by using tagname along with "*" or "?" in lieu of adding multiple Tags for users with library restriction. Last, but not least, viable option introduced by user @seanbuff HERE is also an highly attractive one. Thank You

I'm responding just so you would get another notification bell... I have a feeling that is important to you. You're welcome.

An incoherent statement, first saying that it's in every client, then that it's not in the web client (which of course it actually is). Since you say you don't even use Emby, perhaps you should refrain from commenting until you've found the opportunity to get some real experience with it. I hope it doesn't hurt your feelings to say that I expect very few people are even bothering to read your posts any more.

i did a restart today and the tile disappeared.

I just had had an idea for a work around: if you're using docker, you can run multiple containers and point each at a different watch folder, yes?

on the individual tv show tile click the 3 dots and scroll the list down to see missing episodes option

Sure. I am in the middle of a move to another country and will catch up on all of this when I am done.

This is usually related to websocket connections either not establishing or timing out. Do you use a reverse proxy? Does it have websockets enabled? Within an nginx config, its the lines: proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;

Have a look through your emby logs for messages about media being removed from the database. Maybe you'll at least get to see which ones and can look into those files directly.

@muppet4kits not that i dont want to do it, i just dont have time to do it. You can actually scan recording folder and do sub folder for movies and series. \recording\series \recording\movies

Bonjour, Si tu veux vraiment faire de la répartition de charge avec un même nom de domaine, il te faut un Load Balancer devant tes deux serveur. ( Pour en savoir plus : Que signifie Load balancing (répartition de charge)? - Definition IT de LeMagIT ) Quand à la licence Premium, c'est une bonne question. Sinon, dans le principe oui, tu peux avoir un serveur qui héberge tout tes fichiers, et un autre qui va les partager, à condition que tes serveurs fassent partie du même réseau (ou que les sous-réseaux communiquent entre eux, ce qui est loin d'être gagné) Mais tu ne feras pas de répartition de charge automatique au sens véritable du terme. C'est en fonction du domaine utilisé, qu'un serveur sera sollicité ou pas. Tu as aussi la possibilité de stocker tes fichiers sur un espace de stockage comme 1 fichier, AWS S3, etc. et d'installer et configurer Rclone par exemple, sur ton dédié. (Rclone permet de voir tes fichiers distants comme si il étaient en local sur ton serveur). Par ce principe, ton dédié servira juste de "passe plat" à savoir que son processeur sera juste utilisé pour gérer le trafic réseau entre ton serveur et ton espace de stockage. C'est une solution qui à l'avantage d'avoir un bon rapport qualité/prix, mais qui n'est pas forcément simple à mettre en place. Attention toute fois si tu héberge des fichiers sur du S3. Le stockage en lui même ne couteras pas grand chose, mais tu paieras par contre la donnée sortante, ce qui peut te coûter très cher si tu as beaucoup de personnes qui accèdent à tes fichiers. (Pour la petite histoire, Netflix que tout le monde connait, héberge sa solution sur AWS et utilise S3 pour stocker ses vidéos). 1 Fichier ne te fait pas payer le trafic sortant mais te limite à 4 TO de données froide (1 donnée froide est une donnée qui n'est pas ou peu accédée) et illimité quand aux données chaudes (contraire d'une donnée froide). Si tu veux vraiment un solution de répartition de charge, il te faudra alors 1 load balancer devant tes deux serveurs dédiés et stocker tes vidéos sur 1 solution de stockage dédiée. Mais tu ne pourras pas mettre en place une telle solution, sauf si tu ouvres un compte chez AWS, Azure, ou OVH par exemple. Et tu ne feras pas ça avec du serveur dédié (ou barre métal) car cela te coûtera bien trop cher. En conclusion, et pour essayer de coller au mieux à ton besoin, j'hébergerai mes fichiers sur 1 fichier par exemple, prendrait 1 deuxième dédié (avec un alias DNS comme tu l'as suggéré) et installerai RClone sur chacun de tes serveurs pour accéder à tes fichiers hébergés sur 1 Fichier.

Do you think you could create a new fresh log, run up the plugin and wait for it to hang then immediately pull the log? That one is a good 50mb!

Just updated to 4.8.3 and refreshed metadata on the few combined episodes I have and they are now all catalogued correctly and no longer show as missing. I marked the above as the solution but to anyone else that comes looking for the same issue I don't think there ever was a 4.8.2 release so the fix came in 4.8.3.

Thank you. I was looking for something saying "web playback" or something like that. So easy when you know how

Would love this feature as well. NCIS is a great example of this issue. Pulling images at the chapter markers always results in a black screen (except for the first chapter): A library level (and perhaps a TV show level override) of chapter mark + "X seconds" (and could accept + or - values).

Yeah, I would think subtitles would be the best way to do this. In fact, it could be done right now without a single line of code needing to be written. Just create a subtitle file with the "facts".

Just tested a clean install in v21 with 10.x. No problem. Just tested a clean install in v20 with 10.x. Problem happens. Log attached. kodi.log

Auch hier bringt die 4.8 keine Verbesserung. Alternativ habe ich mal Plex installiert und siehe da, sowohl Live TV, als auch Aufnahmen sind mit meiner Hardware plötzlich wieder möglich. Der DVB-C Repeater von AVM wird in Plex erkannt. Der Sendersuchlauf funktioniert direkt in Plex, kein Import von M3U Dateien, EPG hinzugeladen, fertig. Plex ist zwar in zig anderen Bereichen deutlich schlechter, aber die Features, die man dort anbietet, funktionieren bei mir wenigstens. Weniger ist manchmal mehr und verärgert die User weniger, als viele Features, die dann nur halb oder gar nicht funktionieren. Gruß Eddie

@quickmic Hi, I figured out what is causing the "playback failed" problem I was originally reporting with dynamic libraries. Playback will fail if you select "more information" instead of directly selecting "play." Set the default video action under Settings > Media > Videos > Default Selection Action to Play and it works fine. But set it to Show Information and then select Play or Resume when the information dialog is shown and playback will fail with the message "Playback failed [OK] One or more items failed to play. Check the log file for more information about this message." You can test this quite easily by selecting Choose. Play from there works. Play after more information doesn't. It dos not appear this is a skin problem as I tested with several different skins and it happened in all of them. And it's important to note, if the library is synced it will work fine even if you access videos through the dynamic library menu. It only fails if the library is not synced and you select show information before play. Hope this makes sense.

@Luke 我沒有任何惡意，但其實我們在使用內置播放器時遇到很多問題，只是我不太理解為什麼大家都告訴你沒問題 我身為使用者的心得： 1.內置播放器在播放某些視頻時會卡頓，導致我們必須尋求第三方播放器的支援。mx player支持手勢操作，對Android手機端、平板端友善，mx player 會成為Android端知名播放器不是沒有原因的。 2.Android端內置播放器對於特效字幕(ass字幕)的支援可以說是糟糕透頂，我知道是exo player的問題。而iOS端無問題，使用emby內置播放器或使用infuse都表現完美。 @h77031989 我所知道唯一的解法是使用他人製作的“修改版emby”搭配“修改版mx player pro”，它可以成功加載在emby頁面選擇的外掛字幕到mx player，且播放記錄可回傳。 我有購買Emby Premiere永久金鑰和mx player pro，我也想使用官方發佈的軟件，只是我的需求官方無法滿足我。

This is fixed in 1.8.4 (2), which also remembers the user password so it is possible to switch back and forth again without reentering passwords. I still can't help but feel this should have been pushed out before the server changes that broke it to improve security, but it feels like there is less and less love for the Apple TV these days? It still works better than the Fire TV Stick I use occasionally.

Hmm, that is strange. Sounds like it's stuck on a particular theme for a show. Can't see why it would just hang though. Have a check through the debug log and it should tell you what theme it's trying to acquire. Let me know it's tvdb ID and I'll check what's going on server side.

This is just a trivia subtitle track with extra steps.

It's a nice idea, similiar to the 'X-Ray' on Prime for example. The API allows you to send a message to any client and it's trivial to read from a .txt file - but the main blocker here is who is going to put the 'facts' together ?

If you look here you can see the kinds of things the team feels is of more value to the most people than this feature. Basically tweaks instead of new features.

Doesn't sound like you have your libraries configured properly then as you will not have the task until library has then configured. example no task when set to never. Until it is toggled to make the task visible.

Agreed, sent some money to his Paypal.

Yes we can look at restoring that. Thanks.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Hi all, habe mich, da der Threadersteller sich nicht meldet, mal die Icons von ihm genommen und bisschen mit KI bearbeitet, sodass die Quali passt. Ein paar habe ich durch eigens erstellte ersetzt. Nachfolgend die Pics im Überblick: KI Stil.zip

Hi, I've heard the name auto renamer so I think that might be a popular one.

All I need is to go backwards in the tv guide as @Lukesaid Thanks!

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.

We had to add a few more strings to OneSky for translation. As soon as these are done we should be ready to submit to amazon. Thanks.

It's a true statement but people have been asking for how many years and how many revisions has emby gone through since then?

Vaultwarden (bitwarden) has a great option where you can select 'login with another device' once you've entered your email/username, then you'll receive a notification on a device you've already logged in with asking if you want to auth the new login. So for example: open xbox app, select user, 'login with another device' Open notification from android app, click 'allow'. Xbox is now logged in. Just another idea to think about.

Entering a complex password even once with a tv remote (that has no number pad) is really bad. And this is for every single device and every single user. Just give us the option back and put a big security warning on it.

Here's what's cooking in the pipeline as a way to see all missing episodes in one place. A new section in the metadata manager titled Views:

Mir wäre am liebsten, wenn er ähnlich wie zum Beispiel Zattoo oder IPTV mit klicken auf Cursor nach oben oder unten den Sender wechselt. TV-Guide könnte man ja mit einem langen Tastendruck aufrufen.
