I've been dying to know if this has garnered enough interest to be worked on. I found Emby (MediaBrowser 3 at the time) and its bookshelf plugin while I was searching for something that was like Plex for comics. Plex doesn't do this (and probably never will), Kodi doesn't have what I'm looking for either, and ComicRack seems to be dead at the moment. Unfortunately the bookshelf plugin doesn't work the way I had hoped. I was dissappointed to see it only offer a download to the file to which I can open it to the program of my choosing. Even browsing through the books I only had the option of going through folder-like directories and couldn't browse by author like the people section in the other media types. I would love for it to be fully integrated into Emby where I can open and read a comic right on my phone and tablet or even my web browser as I could with my movies and tv shows. Also, I hope to god somone is working on the "Games launching in android" feature you mentioned on your up-for-grabs blog post. That would be awesome!

It would be nice if there was a local guest account (external access forbidden) for temporary users. For example, someone that's visiting that just wants to turn on a football game. It shouldn't save preferences (or just delete them on log off) and as a matter of rule, is read-only. Basically think "do no harm" access level. It would also be nice to be able to enable/disable this guest account quickly (e.g. visitors coming over). I would also use it for testing purposes so, for example, testing early afternoon, Emby doesn't get the impression I like watching soap operas.

Hello guys, is it possible to have the suggestions in a movie library on the home screen? I just found it out and think it could help a lot of people finding a movie they like.

I'm still trying to get a solution situated for my music metadata, so when I rescan, my recent albums are all messed up. A music variant of the time lord plugins would be awesome. Just got premiere this weekend and am loving things so far.

Collections right now have no view options and are fairly limited in how the items within them could be presented. It seems to be presented more like a playlist that is always ordered by release date than as a mini-library which is how I look at them (and I assume others but could be wrong). First and foremost the ability to sort and filter would be great. Thinking that instead of the options presented in the example at the end of this post, it would look more like the library page for the primary type of the library. The other thing that I think would be super useful given the flexibility of what can be added to a collection is Group by Library, basically the inverse of Group by Collection on the library page. In the example I included, there are items from 3 libraries, books, movies, and audiobooks. This can be very confusing when deciding what to open, especially when there may be an audiobook, book, and movie all with the same name in some cases (such as Dune). Not that you're asking, but if you were, my suggestion for how this would appear visually when enabled would be separate rows for each library much like the Recently added sections on Home.

OK let us know if you run into it again. Thanks.

Not that I know of but without it the server has no way to know how to deliver the content per device playback capabilities so nothing can play. But as you mentioned it is primarily a timing issue as without it you have to wait for probe to get media info on first playback.

Thanks for the answer, but in the meantime I noticed that the same thing was happening on other devices and a friend said he was also unable to access them. But it's now resolved, thank you! I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Se necesitara mas informacion para poder ayudarte. Como te conectas de manera remota? Tienes un dominio configurado? Tienes otros servicios que si esten funcionando? Necesitas publicar los logs del servidor para ver si hay alguna informacion ahi que le permita a los desarrolladores ver si hay algun error registrado ahi.

Enable Audio Playback Transcoding: False That is the issue. Someone in your Emby user settings has disabled the right to transcode Audio. Thank you for doing this it confirms what I suspected. You are now getting Direct Play with forcing but your Audio equipment does not support it. You can go ahead and change both of those settings above on your Roku to AUTO and restart the Roku after you do this. In your Emby dashboard under when you choose Manage Server. You will see the users tab after this. Select the user you're using on the Roku. You will see the spot I have the red box around is lacking the checkmark. All you need to do is add that checkmark. That is your problem.

Yep, mine still blank. HDHomerun is good to go just waiting on Emby guide data to catch up. Last I read, it's not as straightforward of a process as one might think.

Yes, backups were not available so will rebuild database. Thanks again everyone for your input and assistance!

Yeah my problem is fixed, was a port forwarding issue

Tengo el mismo problema con la última actualización de Samsung, en mi pantalla Samsung 7series (58) se ve la pantalla cortada y algunos elementos de las galerías no se ajutan al tamaño de la pantalla y por lo tanto no se muestran las carpetas de contenido

I can reproduce the message, because as I said, I get it every time I turn on my TV. However, the notification isn't sticking again. I'll be sure to grab a log if/when it occurs again. It's happened twice in the last 12 or so hours, but it doesn't seem to be easily reproducible.

I already have all 3 notification settings disabled, and I get a TON of Emby notifications still. Settings I've disabled: -Enable welcome message -Enable server restart message -Enable server progress I'll try to reproduce the issue and get a log for you.

Part of an existing FR. You can lend your support there:

After looking at the schedule, it looks like the data is wrong. Looks like the shows are listed at the wrong times. The channel shows Speed Racer shows at 1:00 AM, but the Emby guide shows it at 10:00 PM. I don't see any way to adjust it in Emby. So, does the channel guide feed need to be updated again? I am in the West coast, Emby Guide set up USA-OTA90403

From the Technical Side You may remember that those DV files still play - just with false colors. What's missing was the knowledge how to do that transformation in order to get the proper output colors. A guy has figured it out and added to libplacebo, which drives MPV player graphics. Later it has been added to ffmpeg. The problem is that it uses Vulkan hardware acceleration and that's something we're not using currently. Interoperation between hw contexts is error-prone and unpredictable and when doing everything with Vulkan, then other transocding operation wouldn't be possible and it would severely affect reliability in transcoding. I haven't followed their threads, but I would bet on the following: When you read a little bit further than just the headline, telling that it can do DV tone mapping, then you will find many caveates and conditions under only which this is working there. This is something for fiddlers, but we try to provide features in a solid, reliable and predictable way. It would be easy to get this working in Emby for a specific case, then we could raise the hand and say "yes, we got that feature", even though it wouldn't work for most of you and cause issues for those where it's working.

Hatte ich aber auch mal das Problem. Nur das es damals alle Filme waren. Hab damals dann einen neuen Ordner namens Movie angelegt, und die Filme aus dem Ordner "Filme" ohne NFO rüber geschoben. Und schon war alles so, wie es sein sollte.

You want the code for the activity feed entry? You just inject the IActivityManager and use the create method. I just wrap the stuff in pre/code but I guess you could style the html if you really wanted. I assume the rest of the code you can figure out, rest call to get list items, parse list items via library using tvdb/imdb ids, create collection, nothings super magical. I have another version that does the same thing but for MDBLists. _activityManager.Create(new ActivityLogEntry { Name = $"Collection {collection.CollectionName} Created for Library {collection.Libraries.Single(x => x.Value == collection.LibraryId).Name}", Overview = $"<pre><code>{log}</code></pre>", ShortOverview = $"Trakt List has {listData.Count} items. Emby found {foundItems.Count} items", Type = "TraktCollectionCreated", ItemId = createdCollection.InternalId.ToString(), Date = DateTimeOffset.Now, UserId = adminUser.InternalId.ToString(), Severity = LogSeverity.Info });

That same question has been asked for over 10yrs now. Don't see it ending anytime soon. Does any software product guarantee you anything?

I've just tried to replicate this and have found the same scenario: any updates to the capitalization of characters in Mp3tag (where the complete term otherwise remains exactly the same) are not updated within Emby when rescanning a library and/or refreshing metadata, or even creating a new library. It appears that Emby retains the first use of a term (from any library) in the database and reverts to this, irrespective of any updated changes to capitalization. E.g, I created a new music library and added one Album tagged in Mp3tag with the Genre "BLUES". This then appeared in Emby as "Blues" because I already have used this as a Genre in other music libraries. I also tried many other examples/tests and couldn't find an easy work flow to resolve this, e.g. trying changing the term completely to something else and then back, deleting the album from the library, rescanning and putting it back... Further to this, it appears that the same problem may also occur with all fields that Emby imports/reads? I tried Genre, Album, Artist and Album Artist with similar results. Therefore I'd also be interested in the solution!

Hi. Thanks, indeed it does. Mostly from the idea to use "ps -a" within the container to check which user owns the Emby process, which was "bin" in my case aka the default user, although I wanted it to be my user 1000. In the end, the fix was to use the "UID" environment variable rather than "PUID". This seems to have been a breaking change in the behavior of the Docker image at some point in the past.

So after numerious installs, and uninstalls of emby, emby server and emby beta, I found out the only thing i needed to do was to uninstall the tvheadend plugin, and reinstall it. Now tvheadned no longer ignores my transcoding settings. So now I have proper sound with Acc audio and h.264 video. Hopefully this fixes my issue for good. Been going on 2 days now and no issues.

Bonjour il faut seulement faire cela : sudo wget https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.8.8.0/emby-server-deb_4.8.8.0_arm64.deb && sudo apt install ./emby*.deb

I was messing around with the Emby API and thought of creating a lightweight dashboard to display some basic info and details about the Emby server. I'm planning on adding more features soon. You can use it on your Emby server as well. Features Server Info: Displays the server version, operating system, server name, and HTTP port. Sessions: Shows the total number of sessions, active streams, playing streams, and paused streams. Media Info: Provides counts of movies, series, and episodes in your Emby server. Library Info: Lists all libraries and shows the item count for each library. Let me know what you think about it haha Here is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/imahmud1/emby-dashboard

Hola de nuevo Estuve probando, cambié esa opción, ahora tengo: "Usar fecha de creación del archivo" Copié 8 películas y las pasé a otro de los discos duros y quedaba como estaba, no me salía en "Lo ultimo en películas", es decir se quedaba como estaba, incluyendo las fechas, podemos decir que ese era el problema. Salvo una, que no sé porque justo cuando acabó de copiarla, como el Emby al detectarla le creó un nuevo archivo ".nfo" me preguntó si deseaba conservar este nuevo que acababa de crear o el ".nfo" creado que tenía originalmente en la carpeta de esa película, le dije que me dejara el que ya tenía creado originalmente, en teoría conservando dichas fechas, pero aún así esa única película me apareció en "Lo ultimo en peliculas" y cambiando fechas. Desconozco porqué hizo eso, solo en esa película, las demas me las dejó como estaban, perfecto. Ahora ya se que cuando vaya a mover películas de un disco duro a otro, simplemente cambio esa opción y listo, luego cuando acabe vuelvo a poner la otra opción. Podemos dar por solucionado esto, gracias a Mibok y a Luke Un saludo

Let me know if you need anything else. Can do a screen recording if that helps. embyserver.txt

Yes.can get webhook about collections on my phone, instead of checking if they are a collection or not.

I think it would be cool to have a guest user mode. What I am thinking this means is user that does not keep watch statuses OR that the watch statuses (and other such data) could have a set reset time, either at a specific frequency or set specifically by the admin. I think this could be great for people hosting out of town guests that may want to watch some movies or even something like an Air BnB setup.
