Correct. Also, we have no plans to eliminate Live TV from Emby.

@jaycedkIt is on wifi. I didn't even think about a wired connection. I'll do that instead. Thank you

Personally I as one who is using the emby supplied guide data (for a long time now) I believe I have gotten more value from that than what I paid for my lifetime Premier key... Going forward I would be okay paying for the guide data separately from other emby Premier features. I would hope emby will negotiate with the appropriate regional guide data providers (bulk quantities usually gets a better price) and then charge us regionally (those that want it) at a cost neutral price to emby, for the service (that way emby would not profit from being a reseller (in other words not look greedy)) but would stop absorbing this large expense that would be better spent on coders (and maybe a little better documentation) ! This way people that don’t use the guide data (along with guide users) would get the benefit of improved software while NOT subsidizing us (current) guide leaches...

very strange. I read some reddit and other and most are saying it's not working. not all but most. very very strange. maybe there is a matrix, the probability might be higher than I was dreaming the last 5 years. evening cet I will try an usb with standard lg player. I will also search old dv mkvs I'm sure of playing it via TV only. maybe it's the v5 vs v8 vs whatever. as written I only have mkvs theres nothing else. thanks and happy Thursday

Using Multiple Servers | Emby Documentation

To a point too many options are lumped into Premiere and should be their own monthly cost. Guide data TVDB v4 As the devs can't absorb the cost of all provider data.

Yes, this is something currently under discussion internally as well. Since this item is actually our largest cost (other than labor) and not everyone uses it, it may make sense to align this cost to the ones who actually are using it. This could also possibly allow us to offer this data in more regions.

Ok so my request is to be able to search each library separate as it stands when you search it searches everything, and if like me you have 30k music tracks 10k books/comics 10k episodes and 10k+ movies, searching is slow so is it possible to have a search section for each library individually

Hi, The current implementation of Emby search is very basic. Based on what I can tell, it only matches exact strings in the same exact order. Example: "Mission: Impossible" In this example the following queries will return a positive match Possible Impossible Mission Mission: Impossible And the following queries will not return anything at all (The worst offenders are highlighted) Mission Impossible Missoin: Imposible Imposible Impossible Mission Mission : Impossible Mission Impossible Another example would be "Mr. Robot" where if the dot is missing, nothing is returned or in general terms any variation of any string that is not an exact match will not return anything at all. Let's not even attempt to try a title like "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". This makes the search difficult to use and at times even frustrating. As the examples above show, the major theme is special characters and punctuation and they can probably be bypassed by just ignoring them, which might or might not cause other problems in the process. This problem also affects titles that have letters with diacritical marks or glyphs such as "Amélie" and "Æon Flux", if you can't type them exactly, you can't find them. In my opinion a better attempt would be to use a difference string matching algorithm such as Levenshtein distance, you can then define an acceptable threshold and return the closest matches. I found a couple of C# projects that implement this and might be useful as a starting point. FuzzyWuzzy, a port of Python project in C#. https://github.com/BoomTownRoi/BoomTown.FuzzySharp FuzzyString. Has some additional string comparison algorithms too. https://github.com/kdjones/fuzzystring Thanks.

Ok no problem.

Hi, there is currently no way to do this.

Alright, I've gotten it working and it turns out the culprit was Cuda. I've spent an ungodly amount of time on this trying to determine what was the issue, but it seems that anything after Cuda v12.1.0 will cause Transcoding to fail. Everything else on my system is back up to date, running Emby-Server-Beta v4.9.0.12 and utilizing the AUR provided ffmpeg 2023.06.25 version. Hopefully this helps someone else out, I appreciate all the assistance from the community.

thank you

Build with Year and a few typos corrected

Luke - it seems to be creating wake timers now, and I can see them in Task Scheduler. While in there I noticed some upcoming timers that were created for recordings I had already canceled. Seems if you cancel a recording, Emby doesn't go into Task Scheduler to remove the wake timer.

Ok i will wait for it. Thx

The thumbs is good , that means only thumbs will load in web dialogs (rather than fullsize), but the full size will download to the database. That makes the dialogs as fast as they can be and keep memory usage of the browsers down.

OK please let us know how the next build compares. Thanks.

I believe this problem is back as of 1.8.4

Fixed! thank you again for the quick reply and especially resolution!

Added support for: Tags Genres Authors Backdrops Fixed Error with Poster Image searches Added toggle option for metadata sections - I have noticed that I have missed the YEAR, but i will add that You Have a good selection of Images! Now you can dissable all metadata if you wish and just import the images

Shure, but I won't be able to get to it today. I'll send tomorrow. Thanks

@kjhedgesLet me think about this idea. Vic

@VicMooreA thought on the media items showing in legacy next up What about define a default user. I can then add a new user of pseudo tv and anything played for that user won’t show in any other users next up

@rbjtechAfter doing some research, I think it is a wifi signal strength. Did some speed tests and was getting a significantly weaker signal on my server pc, which is in a separate room from the router. I'm either going to move my pc closer to the router or buy a wifi booster for my pc. Thanks for the reply!

Oh for fuck's sake... Now that you mention it, I seem to remember having had to find that out the hard way years ago already... Thank you.

A lot of media content has incorrect timeline data that causes timeline adjustments to fail. Try remuxing the video with ffmpeg or other video encoder. There are several programs that can test for video issues. Another test would be to download a proper test video of similar size and codec and see if that works. If it does, then it's probably your video that has the issues.

OK, sorry for the delay. I can't seem to find the SQL script I used. The only thing I was able to find was a script to re-create two triggers that need to be dropped before adding the new Album column. The absence of this column was causing Emby to crash on startup. I was able to fix this crash, however looking at the log file I found that SQL exceptions were still being thrown. This did not affect playback of media, but it did cause "flaky" behavior when identifying new media or retaining information on existing DVR related media. I do not think the Album column or the fix caused these exceptions or flaky behavior, I think I just had some generalized database corruption. Long story short, I ended up removing Emby entirely and deleting all its files. I then installed it fresh and slowly re-added all my media. The new install has been working flawlessly since then. These are the scripts to recreate the two triggers that need to be dropped before adding the Album column: CREATE TRIGGER mediaitems_insert_fts9 AFTER INSERT ON MediaItems BEGIN insert into fts_search9(RowId, Name, OriginalTitle, SeriesName, Album) values (new.Id, replace(replace(new.Name,'''',''),'.',''), replace(replace(new.OriginalTitle,'''',''),'.',''), replace(replace(new.SeriesName,'''',''),'.',''), replace(replace((Select case when new.AlbumId is null then null Else (Select Name from MediaItems where Id = new.AlbumId limit 1) end),'''',''),'.','')); END CREATE TRIGGER mediaitems_delete_fts9 AFTER DELETE ON MediaItems BEGIN delete from fts_search9 where RowId=old.RowId; END Add "Album" column (Text) to the MediaItems table. If the AlbumID column is missing, add it as well (INT). No SQL needed, you can use SQLite's GUI for this. Not having the original script I tried to re-create it here. This query will show all the rows that will be updated, the sub.* shows the data that will be placed into the Album and AlbumID columns. SELECT mi.id, mi.type,mi.path,mi.name, mi.album, mi.AlbumId, sub.* FROM MediaItems mi INNER JOIN (SELECT mis.id, mis.Name AlbumName, li.ItemId FROM MediaItems mis INNER JOIN ItemLinks2 li ON li.LinkedId = mis.id WHERE mis.type=12) sub ON sub.ItemId = mi.id This query can be modified into an UPDATE FROM UPDATE MediaItems SET Album = sub.AlbumName, AlbumId = sub.id FROM (SELECT mis.id, mis.Name AlbumName, li.ItemId FROM MediaItems mis INNER JOIN ItemLinks2 li ON li.LinkedId = mis.id WHERE mis.type=12) sub WHERE sub.ItemId = MediaItems.id; The statements above works only for music albums ("mis.Type = 12").

you are correct it does not.. I've removed it.

Well, let's hope it wiil be in near future, cause older people like my father need external subtitles ,cause he doesnt get english well.

They dropped hardware support for decoding with the raspberry pi 5. I am one of those very disappointed buyers who thought that raspberry pi 5 would be an upgrade in every possible way in comparison to the raspberry pi 4. To play media on a raspberry pi 5 the server needs to be able to do the transcoding. To play media on any other devices where the raspberry pi 5 is the media server will cause a lot of problems with lag and mega high CPU load. Unless that media client is able to do the decoding of the video file itself. For example if you have a raspberry pi 5 as a media server then all the connected clients must be raspberry pi 4. The whole idea about having a small and neat setup with a small board devices such as raspberry pi for NAS+media server+media client is not optimal in the real world. It could have been if they weren't so stupid to drop the hardware support for encoding/decoding on the raspberry pi 5. The other devices have a much weaker CPU and no real support for nvme devices making them less than ideal for the subject. In addition to this the software for raspberry pi family is not great either, sure you can get Plex and whatever running on a raspberry pi, addons for Kodi etc. But they are not built for the soul purpose to run on a raspberry pi. Getting a real NAS with 4k decoding/transcoding is probably a whole lot better. Or a x86 computer where you can run windows or Linux on with software aimed to run on this platform and hardware. Sadly enough.

@Luke It's working now! Thanks a lot.

If you store NFOs with your media: Open the NFO for the film with the incorrect identification Search for the correct actor on IMDB and TMDB Under that actor's name in the film's NFO file, there are tags for their TMDB and IMDB IDs Replace the incorrect IDs with the correct ones Scan I assume TVDB ID is also used for TV, but I really only manage films on my server.

Playing one of my episodes it looks like Throttle kicked in after processing 12 minutes.

Hi, yes you can.

This should be fixed the the latest version. - fix play icon display - fix access token errors

Well just something to consider. I think there should be filters for anything that is lockable. Otherwise the only choice is to go through one by one or delete the library.

Definitely an outlier. These days I am much more interested in discovering new artists than filling decreasingly small gaps in my collection.

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

Hello! I couldn't find a post on this topic, so I started one. On the control panel, where I can see the playbacks, the window is too big on mobile! I'll post a picture of what I mean. if there are multiple playbacks, it takes up a lot of space and requires a lot of scrolling. This could not be displayed in smaller windows, such as in Tautulli at the plex (I will also post a picture of this to see what I mean). It would be much more transparent and would not take up as much space. Of course, all this without losing functionality. In Tautulli, for example, if you tap on it, other data and functions will appear! This may also work on emby. Or a mobile app like Tautulli for emby.

If you need more help, I would suggest we go through a specific example and check media info, logs, etc. Do any files play fine, or does every file have an issue? Does audio from other apps (ie: regular TV, Netflix, etc) work fine via ARC, or do they also have issues? For Emby, I would test playing something simple, no subs and just basic audio track like AC3 and see how it goes.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Until the issue is fixed, and maybe because it's an cleaner solution anyway, I'd suggest setting up a second instance of emby for this kind of stuff. You can easily switch between servers in the apps...

Normally when this happens it's because the previous version wasn't uninstalled first. Samsung only allows one usb app to be installed at a time. Make sure you actually go to APPS -> Settings (cog in upper right) and delete the previous version of Emby. Just removing the app from Home only deletes the shortcut. Another possibility is that the zip must be unzipped in the root of your usb. In extreme cases I've seen some people had to reset the hub.

was background transition time ever implemented?

I thought Win10 was the last one ever.

Comunque ho risolto. Non era associata la mia e-mail su Emby server. Come l’ho fatto l'app infuse subito è andata. Grazie ancora

Currently, in the Emby player, the lowest bitrate option for selected 4K resolution is capped at 40 Mbps. If you want to decrease the bitrate further, you're forced to drop down to 1080p resolution. However, I'd like the freedom to choose lower bitrates while still keeping the 4K resolution intact.

For music and audio, yes, we probably can since we tell the app what to do. But for the video content which has that audio with that FLAC content we would need to adapt the media profile. I am sure we can do this at this point. Reference: Issue #1588: [Audio] Fix issue with 96/24 FLAC

Hi ,we are looking into this. Thanks.

Agreed, sent some money to his Paypal.
