Here is the next round of answers from our Emby Q&A session. The feedback from our previous blog post was exciting to see from all of you, and we are excited to share even more answers. The next round of questions and answers will be released next week as well! 1) What are some of the future goals of Emby? Emby wants to continue to grow and be the best media server option available for our users. We hope to move to a quicker release schedule than in previous iterations that is both more efficient from a development standpoint and exciting for our users. We love what we do here at Emby and we want our users and potential users to see that! 2) Would the Emby team ever consider moniterary "bounties" to help offset the development cost. We have actually seen this question a lot lately. We do not believe that this is the best way to decide what goes into development for a few reasons. First and foremost, we do not want people who have more money than others to decide what goes into production while others who may not be able to afford to donate or contribute go unheard. 3) How does the Emby team decide on what's next for Emby? The answer to this is deeper than most people probably think. Feature requests is one place that we look at to form our roadmap of future goals. Sometimes it's as simple as user feedback that something is not working as intended or could be implemented in an easier way to use etc. Other times our development staff has ideas based on industry trends as well as their own experience that they believe should be implemented. We take all of that and as a team decide what should be added and when. 4) In what areas can Emby improve? We as a team are always seeking to improve. We fully acknowledge that as a small company we are sometimes stretched "thin" but we do our best to always be both proactive and reactive with all of you. As mentioned above we hope to move to a quicker release schedule with a more agile methodology that allows us do so. We think we do a pretty great job at communication with everyone here on the forums, but we continue to strive to be even better here as well. Being able to give more flushed out answers and as much information as we can. Our goal is to always continue improving.

@Happy2PlayOmg...It was AVG's Advanced Firewall this whole time! I can't figure out how to create the Exception for it, it's not as simple as just choosing the program to allow, it wants the address and port and stuff. I'm just going to leave it off for now. Thank you both for all of your help I greatly appreciate it. Idk why the avg firewall seemed to work fine with it then not randomly, but I'm just letting windows defender do its thing for now lol

Nevermind, performed server reboot and device reboot and it's working fine now. Thanks (problem was affecting only ACC multichannel audio tracks)

It's about half the way down in the sync options.

it's kind of a pain to convert iso into mkv depending on the dvd type or genre it is. normal movies are pretty straight forward but workout dvds or anything similar with lot's of chapters and video files can be nerve-wracking. I've given up hoping that good ISO playback will ever come. However, I have now realised that I no longer miss these DVDs that much anyway. The quality of DVDs is miserable. Not even Full HD ...., which gives you eye cancer anyway.

Click on server version in your Dashboard, it'll list Release Notes for any version.

Sound similar to this one.

Yes but I believe EBR expalined that in regards to the HLS stream, it is/was still not possible with AV1. HEVC is a totally different codec. Using it as a reason to beleive that AV1 will work is like asking "why can't I put petrol in my Tesla? It's a car, and all cars run on petrol" The fact Plex is also having a serious problem, with the amount of resources they have, should tell you that it's not a problem with the software, but with the video codec itself. Again I would just process my files before adding them to my server. Many of us already go through the process of cutting out redundant audio and sub tracks, or even re-encoding things to save space prior to adding them to our servers.

Slow Horses, How did I miss this... Prob because I don't sub to Apple TV.. What a gem of a TV show. I'm originally from the UK and this show tick's all the boxes for me. Remember CI5 (The Professionals) lol.. (Bodie & Doyle). This show has a layer of dark comedy (which I love).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Cinema Mode used to select a trailer randomly from all your trailers, but Luke changed that so now it selects a random trailer from movies that are "related" to the current movie. Can an option be added to go back to the old behavior? I liked the incongruity of having a trailer from a completely different type of movie show. Plus it helps me remember movies I've added.

Completely disagree. If I am watching a Batman film I don't need to see 5 or more trailers for more or less the same movie. Or for example Godzilla or James Bond or Star Trek. Ect......... I don't need to see multiple trailers for the same type of movie. That's not useful to me at all. Plus we already have the "More Like This" on the movie view page. 100% agreed.

It should be an option. I would prefer completely random trailers.

Yes there are several topics, please update again.

Image size overlay is still an issue as it does not resize/scale with change. extra small

Grabbed the new Synology spk and everything is working now. Thanks Luke!

New upload also fixed the issue for me. That was a quick fix! Thanks!

Grand, I'll come back to it tomorrow. I see anyway there's going to be a 4.8.5 so I can wait. Thanks Luke

Right OK. that's just because the check isn't docker-specific. For most platforms the update check is platform-specific, just not Docker. So that means there could be a small gap of a few hours of when it says an update is available until it actually is.

See recent basically same topic.

It was indeed the site cache showing the old icons for me. Thanks for reminding me to always check that option first

May have to clear cache but yes the new icons appear to have been pushed in 4.8.4.0. 4.8.3.0 4.8.4.0/4.9+

..another WIN for EMBY.. the support team here is AMAZING.. with plex; maybe..maybe the next day you would get an answer...

Thanks! That was what I was hoping for. I just was worried that it might somehow screwup the library. I am paranoid! But am I paranoid enough? I am glad that Emby handles this kind of weirdness in a reasonable manner. If I should notice anything abnormal i will report back but I do not think there will be any reason. I also have a few where there is one multi part file and one single file that is included in the multi part. Like: s01e08e12 and s01e11 I suspect that I will get two entries there as well but it is much easier to fix as simply deleting the single file would correct things.

confirmed I was able to play movie on several ROKUs..one shows direct play and the other shows transcoding.. Thank you

This fixed finally a somewhat vague issue around my EPG en TV-recordings, etc. in Emby update 4.8.4.0 (double EPG entries and thus issues chosing the correct one, recordings not starting, etc., this now seems to be fixed!), especially in Emby WMC ui, this was very anoying and disturbing: thanks very much for fixing it! Grtz, Peter

HI, apologies for the disruption. Replacement builds are currently uploading so please redownload the release from our website, install, and you should be good to go. We'll also do a 4.8.5 this weekend to ensure everyone gets notified of the fix. Thanks.

Exactly. If everything is on the local network then remote access isn't needed.

yes playback is working now. I'll reply again if I see any other issues. thanks for the quick fix Luke!

@tonywoolf @rekit I've reuploaded the release for Synology 7.2 x64. Can you try that and see if it resolves it? Thanks.

HI, we're looking into this. Thanks guys.

bingo..thank you

Per user option in Display

I had the same problems on synology with 4.8.4 and had to uninstall and reinstall 4.8.3. After reinstalling, everything worked perfectly and didn't even have to restore emby settings from backup. Super easy

Okay I didn't think the error about deleting the temp folder really meant anything. Looks like this is a problem with transcoding the ASS subs, but it might be doing something that you can only see with some debug options enabled. If you have the Diagnostics Plugin installed try setting the trasncoding log level to debug information, hit save, reproduce the issue and provide the logs. Otherwise my recommendation is to get some SRT subs for this and you should be able to watch it just fine, those don't need to be burned in to the video. That's how it works when transcoding, it creates a "playlist" of TS files and it reads from the playlist, requesting TS segments when needed.

Ups, I fixed it. .19 is stable abnd .20 is beta. But you can try 10.X, the issue should be solved by this version. Usually public testing has no major bugs in standard functionalities. Only new added features are not too good tested.

The delay until rollout is fine it is quite an edge case, but something that happens for me quite a bit, when a superior format version of a particular TV episode gets added and an older format gets deleted. But now I know that when this happens, I need to go to Kodi and Repair the Library before sitting down to watch the episode, so that I don't have to wait several minutes for it to sort itself out So I have a workaround "process". Just curious: the 9.x.x release thread says that 9.4.19 is Beta, and 9.4.15 is Stable. Is that still the case? Or is 9.4.19 now rated Stable?

Will be backported yes. As you are on stable version you need to wait a couple of weeks for such minor fixes. Actually it's quite an edge case therefore not urgent. Rollout follows 1. public testing 2. beta 3. stable ...unless it's a showstopper.

Yeah the novelty wore off for me.. The quality is iffy and the selection/algorithm is crap at the mo. I gave up and disabled it, still got the plugin installed just in case things change.

I've had simular issues, but after updating this morning to EMBY v4.8.4.0, with 'fix duplicate live tv views', it seems to have solved my problems. For some months already, in my live-TV EPG, several TV channels had double entries, chosing a certian channel or program, gave me the impression that there were 2 entries, and I thus maybe didn't always choose the correct one and thus the recording failed: maybe Luke or somebody else can eleborate more details about this issue ? I hope, this helps you solving your no-recordings ? Thnx & best regards, Peter

The builds should be up tonight. Thanks.

@Luke Hi Luke, My apologize for waking kind a old post. I've been keeping up with the latest iOS app, installing the latest version, 2.2.17, however the problem still remains. I would appreciate if you take a look on this if you have a capacity.....

Confirmed, I think I found the issue. Will be fixed in next version

I have the VERY slow loading of pictures on the LG Emby app as well. Some pictures it will load just fine, then every few it takes a very long time to load starting from the top of the image. So slow that would think it was coming down from Prodigy on a 2400Baud modem. If I have it set on a slide-show it will often take so long to load an image that the timer will have expired by the time the image loads and it is already moving on to the next image. I have tested this on 2 other devices one with a Roku Ultra on the same LG TV and one with a pretty old Roku built in on a TCL TV and both of those load just fine. It only seems to be affecting the Emby app on the LG WebOS. A side note, and a annoyance that may have nothing to do with the Emby app but the slideshow does not prevent the TV from going into it's screen-saver mode, which you would think it would given that there is constant activity on the screen, though perhaps that has something to do with how long it is taking to load the pictures.

One year later... Your no pest mate! You have showed true patience's. I wish you all the best and hope eventually it will happen.

I don't mean to be a pest, but I still would love to see this feature added.

Hi, yes it is.

I'd just like it to be more random so I don't know exactly which trailer I'll get every time I start a movie. Literally any noir I watch, I get the Lady from Shanghai trailer. Every time.
