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

Then you would go to /Library/VirtualFolders/Delete and replace "string" with the library id you want to remove.

I still struggle to think of any reason to justify getting Emby over its competition to others who might ask as I can't see any big selling point for it. IMHO this feature could be that point. Hope it doesn't get thrown away.

'This is the (Emby) way'

AFAIK this still stands: You can lend your support here:

Will guess same information.

Hi, we’ll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

Ironically, it's now the other way around. And what makes this decision even worse is that it was always possible to hide the collection library in user settings.

Will have to find other topics but People are a different story when it comes to refreshing metadata and are only gotten on first import of item if I remember correctly. So Refreshing a library will not refresh all People/Actors.

https://docs.roku.com/published/acrservicepolicy/en/us The Roku uses Automatic Content Recognition and shares this information with ad partners. It is all anonymous, but it still can recognize the device by the ID, and usually can detect what you are watching too. So your avertisements shown on the Roku are targeted more towards what you would watch and etc when you have this enabled. Roku uses this to customize their ad experience in their apps this way. It also customizes the home screen this way with relevant ads. https://themarkup.org/privacy/2023/12/12/your-smart-tv-knows-what-youre-watching You can OPT out of this on the Roku. Inside Settings -> Privacy -> Smart TV Experience [x] Use info from TV inputs [x] Enable auto notifications You want to disable both of those. You also want to investigate every option in your privacy settings on the Roku to opt-out of any there as well.

Hi. This is necessary in this day and age for privacy reasons. So, we have too much functionality? This was very highly requested during beta. The use case is probably more that there are a few users you may not want to share with.

If you decide to go with a external program. Check out Tdarr

@Happy2PlayGuess it should only be displayed if you toggle Upcoming.

Ah, great! There are always ways for improvement, it just depends on how far one would want to go (given that it's not the avearage case). But i'm not really familiar with the subject in detail, it's something for @Luketo explain why and what is taking som much time.

Maybe not that large as you might think... @Dibbes?

I have seen this issue, in my setup Where S01E01-02 is not working as it used to. But found that S01E01-E02 is working. Can you try with Documentary Now! - S03E01-E02

Hi, don't you want a personal media server and not on that puts your information into the cloud? Does that not make the usb install worth it?

What browser are you using, then? Here are four different browsers all showing the alpha picker as they should... Firefox: Chrome: Edge: Opera: You can see why I was surprised by your assertion (also the screen grab from a program you also say you don't use, but have over 22,000 movies in). Anyway, are you going to report this issue to the devs with sufficient detail to enable them to fix it? (I suppose I should also ask if that's an up-to-date Emby server, as there were a couple of betas a while ago that lost the alpha picker in Chrome, as I recall.) Paul

I believe a nice added feature is to have the ability to timeout partially watched shows automatically. Being able to set an expiration of resume point on titles. My kids love to watch videos but never seem to finish then, so they have a ton of titles that have resume points. What would be a nice addon would be the ability to either set the resume point to expire after X number of days. By default the resume point will be kept indefinitely. Adding in, let's say, "30" will then set all the resume points last set 30 days ago to expire and the resume point data be removed from the title for the user. This should be a global setting that applies to all users in the system. Wording of the feature can be different. Thanks, \ above1

"More like this" will recommendations are made based on multiple media libraries，I don't like this, I prefer him to only recommend similar ones in the current media library, otherwise I would rather turn it off. What should I do?

Hello Are you planning to implement a screensaver for the Tizen version of the Emby application? This would be very useful, especially with the ability to set the time and folder with photos for the show. Samsung OLED TVs have a built-in function to launch screen server after 2 minutes of inactivity and it is not configurable - only a black screen with dots. best regards Kuba

A good question I don't have an answer to. If I can't get the H.W. transcoding working soon with binhex, I will migrate to the official container this week end.

Will guess mp3tag is showing it mapped slightly different maybe ContentGroup? As we have to remember it is what ffprobe sees. Confirmed ContentGroup is what ffprobe is calling grouping.

@Luke all is done

@Happy2Playno, I was running it on different PC then the one my servers was on. Truthfully I've not tried to use ember in a really long time.

Yes, 1-8 seem ok! getting same results on loads of stuff, "Allo Allo" for example! very weird!

I dumped my entire movie folder into mp3tag. Then I searched for the mysterious tags. This might have one of the offending tags (Bandes originales de films). Can you take a look? theme.mp3

It was removed from New Installs of 4.8. So upgrading 4.7 to 4.8 will maintain your existing library.

Matter of finding that needle in the haystack. If you do find it make sure you post a copy of it. But as mentioned blanket search theme.mp3 and drop into mp3tag to see if you see the offending theme assuming that is the issue.

What are the "sand informations"?

That was my thought too. I hope that's not the case, although i would understand if softworkz is leaving the Emby project in the event of a negativ decision.

Yes. It's also happening on a web browser on laptop. Also, tested with version 4.8.3.0 and the issue is still present.

Just that easy. Thanks!

What level of demand would be enough?

There are 9511 movies in the folder , if I install version 1.0.0.8, then the number of movies becomes 7652, if I use the 1.0.0.0 plugin, then the number of movies is 6400 and that's not all , about 300 should be combined with one poster , so the working version of the plugin is 1.0.0.0

That sounds like a leaving speech Not good as from what I've seen Softworkz and SamES do the actual coding work! Not feeling that positive as it shouldn't have had this much grief for something that so overdue. Makes me wonder where Emby is going now....

Hi. Did you confirm the mapping is correct?

Hallo zusammen Also, bis jetzt schaut es gut aus, auch wenn das erneute Einscannen der Bibliothek gefühlt eine Woche dauern wird, aber die ersten vier, fünf Serien schauen in der Tat schon mal gut aus mit der Sortierung in Staffel-Ordner und der Benennung mit Nummer und Episodentitel. Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden.

It's Arctic Fuse by jurialmunkey

Nope... I copied this image from an earlier chat you and I had

I used this method to go from CentOS 7 -> CentOS Stream 8 on multiple servers and overall went smoothly. As always, have backups, take backups of things like package lists because you may find some things you use get uninstalled. https://wiki.almalinux.org/elevate/ELevate-quickstart-guide.html

Will do, thanks

@Happy2PlayI don't have time to do it tonight, but what I am going to do is remove all the movie from my library and then add 10 movies at a time back in. That way when those tags pop up again I will at least I've narrow it down to those 10 movies I just added. I'll let you guys know what I find. Thanks for the help Happy.

@Happy2PlayHere is my log. If you figure it out, thanks! embyserver.txt

Just be mindful when downloading from forks on GitHub. Over 100,000 Infected Repos Found on GitHub (apiiro.com) Millions Of GitHub Repos Found Infected With Malicious Code (cybersecuritynews.com)

Was the USB drive auto-mounted ? if so that wont work for emby or anything running under systemd, you need to make sure it is properly mounted usually in /etc/fstab

please do this i'm doing this manually right now and am sad lol.

EMBY SERVER 4.8.1 IS NOW LIVE WITH LOTS OF NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS Emby Server 4.8 has been rolling out to various platforms over the past week or so. This upgrade in particular is packed with a lot of new features, improvements and fixes. Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing multiple blog posts to share some of the exciting new functionality that 4.8 brings to Emby and give you a more in-depth look into the features. Today’s blog will focus on two new features: PROFILE PINS With Emby 4.8 you now have the ability to set individual profile PINs. This new PIN replaces the old local network only PIN that existed prior to this release. It is more flexible (works both locally and remotely) and more secure. This new PIN is very useful if you have devices in your home that are shared by multiple users. As an example you may want to put a PIN on your profile so kids in your home can’t just click on your profile and view all of the same media but still allow your kids to freely switch between their profiles on the same device. NOTE: All users (local and remote) must authenticate ONCE per device. Once this initial authentication is done, that user will be remembered on that device and won't require password entry again unless signed out. PLAYLIST SHARING CONTROL Another great feature of 4.8 is the ability to designate exactly what other Emby users you share playlists with. Prior to 4.8, any playlist that was created was available to everyone on your Emby server. Now they’re set up for individual users. When you first create a playlist, that playlist is private to just you. If you wish you can then share it with any user that you would like via the "Modify Collaboration" option. You are able to set it up so that different users have read only access or have view and edit access to the playlist. Please keep in mind that this is only for playlists that were created after the upgrade to 4.8. Playlists created prior to this release will not have this functionality. They would have to be re-created to gain it. NOTE: In order to utilize this feature, you must first grant each user that you want to be able to create shared playlists the ability to share content from the user settings on the dashboard. You can see from the image below that it is simply a checkmark on the settings page. Once that is checked, it is as simple as creating a new playlist and then either right clicking on the playlist or clicking on the “...” menu and clicking on manage collaboration. From there you can easily choose which user you want to share the playlist with and what level of access they have. Stay tuned for a new blog post in the coming days that highlights some of the other awesome and new features of Emby 4.8! For now, we have listed below all the improvements and fixes that were included in 4.8. We as a team are excited to share all of these great new additions with you and hope you’re enjoying the update to Emby just as much as we are! ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Add new profile pin feature.

AmazonAudioBooks.zip Still some search improvements to be done! - Testing version. Not always fetching overviews - so I need to look at that. This is a webscraper, It searches amazon for your audiobook. Its up to you to check you can legally use this in your country - I accept no responsibilty. Use at your own risk. As this is a private use plugin and at no way connected to commercial use, copyrights are deemed "fair use" - for personal use in most countries, However its on you to check this where you are. For Audiobooks it fetches: Book Title Release Date Studio Poster Images Writers / Narrators (names only) Tagline Overview It does not fetch any Writers or Narrators Information or Images (when you click them) - it only fetches the audiobook information.. It only searches the book names, if I search the release dates or writers as well it usually doesn't find anything, so its possible to get the wrong book of the same name - just so you know. However so far for me, it has got the right books each time up to now ... theres still time to get the wrong book.... Identify is not enabled in this plugin so will error in Emby log if you try to use it.
