the most important part of this whole thread. soon is good

Order is an issue as eventually it becomes alphabetical if ever saved in the UI. Pretty sure there are other topics. Yep your topic as you get initial provider or embedded order then Emby will reorder on any resave/edit. But number of displayed genre is a user option now. Grim beat me to it

@shorty1483@zerodayzHere is a quick debug version. It will log the number of items found, and then loop through them and output the title/path and imdb/tvdb. There is "Magic" in emby where the library id isnt referenceable on the media items itself from what I can tell, if you look at @zerodayzlog his movie id is 2 "Library Movies ID: 2". but in the slow query the parentIds are "A where A.ParentId in (4,121312,180984,366566,420731,500716)" but when I call the code it says give me the items for "2" and then behind the scenes I believe it then maps them to the collection of folders a library contains This is the code to get items in the library mediaItems = _libraryManager.GetItemList(new InternalItemsQuery { IsVirtualItem = false, ParentIds = new[] { long.Parse(collection.LibraryId) }, OrderBy = new[] { new ValueTuple<string, SortOrder>(ItemSortBy.PremiereDate, SortOrder.Descending), new ValueTuple<string, SortOrder>(ItemSortBy.SeriesSortNameOrSortName, SortOrder.Ascending) } }) .ToList(); 2024-07-02 00:53:50.487 Info TraktListCollectionsCreateCollectionsTask: Library Movies ID: 5 Type: movies 2024-07-02 00:53:50.488 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.trakt.tv/users/donxy/lists/marvel-cinematic-universe/items/movie 2024-07-02 00:53:50.642 Info TraktListCollectionsCreateCollectionsTask: Count of Trakt list items = 49 2024-07-02 00:53:50.984 Info TraktListCollectionsCreateCollectionsTask: Items found in library: 22232 2024-07-02 00:53:50.984 Info TraktListCollectionsCreateCollectionsTask: Title: Cheat /home/media/Movies/Cheat (2024) {imdb-tt28129069} {tmdb-1142414}/Cheat (2024) [WEBDL-1080p][EAC3 5.1][h264].mkv :: IMDB: tt28129069 - TVDB: I'm testing with 4.9.0.14, ~8k series and ~22k movies In the "configuration" folder is an xml file to delete that contains the config in case you didn't delete and want to try that.

When you have a groundbreaking invention, you have generally two ways to deal with it: You can try to keep it secret And hope nobody else will figure it out But if someone does, they can do the same without restriction You register a patent for it but then Your invention gets fully published You can charge royalties but there are rules and conditions you need to adhere to For example, it must be non-discriminatory, all patent licensors need to be treated equally Means, you have no control who uses your patent - you cannot allow it to party A and forbid party B to use it And also, the knowledge about your patent is public and so you cannot demand that information about it or derivative/related works to be taken down. The copyright holder for the code is owned by the developer who wrote the code. The only case where they could request a take down is when it would be their own code (e.g. like when it was stolen and illegally published on GH) (Regarding the non-discriminatory part, I'm not sure whether it's the same in the US)

I love having subtitles enabled on all videos but for live TV I don't use them because they're often out of sync and wrong, so it would be nice to have a setting which lets me turn live TV subtitles off by default without having to turn off subtitles for everything Also as a side note there's a bug where if you turn off subtitles for live TV the emby app closes, but that will be irrelevant if this setting can be added Apologies if it's something someone has already asked for, I couldn't see it so I thought I'd raise it and see if anyone else would find it useful too

Hi, yes this topic has come up before and is certainly possible for future updates. Thanks for the feedback.

Would need to see server and ffmpeg logs but Client playback setting Auto can be conservative on remote connections and fallback to hardcoded values of about that rate but believe it varies slightly across each client. Personally have all remote user set client to max playback setting and throttle them with the user setting.

Right now, you have a choice, as does everyone; and as always different people will have specific priorities leading to the choice they make. All you're doing is complaining that there isn't a fourth choice: Emby, but free or at least much cheaper. Tough - but your choice between the available options remains unconstrained. Paul

Getting back to the original question (slightly rephrased): Q: Will JF catch up with Emby within the next few years? A: No, they won't! To explain that, let's look at some figures ( source ) They were already a fuill year behind Emby right when they started You can see the gap between 2018 and 2019. This exists because Emby had switched to closed source at the end of 2017 and we didn't work on the the public code anymore. When they forked, the code that they got was already a year behind of Emby's then-actual code base. Contributors and Commit Counts The largest amount of commits in their code is still from Luke. He made 13.5k commits.. There were at least 500 commits from others before they forked, so it's 14k commits at the time of forking. Meanwhile they're at 26k commits, which means they've added 12k commits. But they are using a different workflow: Everything is going through pull requests, while Luke's commits were made directly on the repo. When using PRs, there's always an additional merge commit added. The means from the 12k commits were only 6k actual commits. The totals: Emby made 14k commits in 5 years (2.8k/year) JF made 6k commits in 7 years (0.85k/year) => Emby's progress is 3x the speed of JF Yes, that's measured against the early phase of Emby Server. I used it, because you can verify those figures as that's all public (I also checked against figures from the same time span and we were still more than 2x faster since the fork) Trend of Activity Just look at the diagram over the years (above). There has been a lot of activity at the start, but since 2021 activity is constantly decreasing and got very small in 2023 and 2024. The following Emby figures are very different and show constant work: Code Files of the Server JF: 1,726 CS files Emby: 3,749 CS files (the already developed parts of TVnext will add another 1k CS files soon) Conclusion None of those metrics alone is a perfect indicator, but when viewing it altogether and with the averaging over such long periods, the assessment is crystal clear: JS is far behind Emby and the distance is constantly increasing. Of course they can develop a specific client app. That doesn't mean anything though. We have developed more than a dozen of client apps and some of theirs are still our old ones essentially - all of which we have further developed and evolved - which they didn't do (for all), just one or the other specific ones. So the answer to the question is very clear: They won't catch up anytime soon, because they are years behind! PS: That doesn't mean that they cannot do one or the other thing better than Emby. That's easy and always possible and there can be many reasons for why Emby doesn't have it or just not yet or does it differently. But a few cherries don't make a tree..

Yes that's and older cpu, not likely to have any code changes related to it. It's mostly for compatibility with new cpus when they come out, the base kernel might be a little older on RHEL and not get the kernel updates as soon as something like Fedora would, but there are repos for kernel-ml (mainline) that could be used in that case.

Thanks that is helpful feedback. You should consider putting it into the install guide in that case as its not on the drop downs. Cheers.

All the RPM based distros are basically the same and can even be switched between with certain tools. Nothing wrong with staying on RHEL.

@Q-Droidmay have some insight on this.

Hi, stay tuned because the upcoming smart views feature should help with this.

I did play with this option, it does work but feels a little "stiff". I suggested that feature a while ago for actor list, because I was finding occasional or one-off actors listed before the main cast.

Likewise, greets to Mrs. Varrick.

Thanks and my regards to Ms. Reaper

Settings>Display, you can select how many Genres you prefer displayed on top. Regardless of that setting, Media Info section at the bottom of the Detail page will list all of them.

Yeah dunno since the code is used for both movies/series and it works in 4.9, maybe its a 4.8.8.0 issue but for movies only, but I also dont use NFOs, but we can see in your logs that it shows no Ids for movies and series work fine. 2024-07-01 19:32:50.732 Info TraktListCollectionsCreateCollectionsTask: Title: Pulp.Fiction.1994.German.DL.DTSHD.1080p.BluRay.AVC.Remux-iNCEPTiON \MOVIES\Pulp.Fiction.1994.German.DL.DTSHD.1080p.BluRay.AVC.Remux-iNCEPTiON :: IMDB: - TVDB: 2024-07-01 20:12:06.678 Info TraktListCollectionsCreateCollectionsTask: Title: Game of Thrones \SERIES\Game of Thrones :: IMDB: tt0944947 - TVDB: 121361

Solved! After spending a while trying how to unpack chromium .pak files to see if there was anything in them that I could fiddle with (or override with an unpacked version in the filesystem) I came across a method to add a custom CA certificate to chromium-based packages on Debian. First a package was needed in order for certutil to become available: sudo apt install libnss3-tools Then certutil imports the CA certificate with absolutely no feedback whatsoever: certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -A -t "C,," -n "MY CA" -i /etc/ssl/certs/my_ca.pem Now Emby Theater connects without a hitch (and I have restored my main.js to the original version). Thanks for the pointers @Luke!

Ok then you are right sorry

Hi, Thanks. Not sure if this is related or just a fluke but I disabled hardware acceleration on my system, restarted Emby server and haven't been able to replicate the problem again. Its been 4 days now trouble free where before it wouldn't work at all.

nope full duplex or half duplex is connexion lan ... you need to see this : in "plage de port", what is it ?

yes i think so... (even more so after experience below) i played a 'non-exceptional' episode yesterday 1080p HEVC which displayed slowly ~ 10fps on pure android...firestick android was fine.... Both were direct playing video and audio. edit - a bit more feedback on pure android.... FWIW the 10fps issue seems to follow HEVC (rather than audio encoding/channels) After a device reboot the UI navigation speed is just as snappy, possibly a little faster than firestick android. Playing a theme tune makes things chug a bit, but general navigation through the library is good. Moving down the alpha picker (on tv shows at least) and pausing momentarily has an 'incorrect?' behaviour of moving the cursor off the alpha picker onto the 1st media with that alpha. I would have expected the cursor to stay on the picker whilst the focus of the content changes but not move the cursor to the content until i intentionally move off the picker...I guess that might be intentional but it felt odd to me... using back to exit out of the app may not be working as intended...reason...a playing theme tune continues to play even when i have long since started a new app...maybe the app is not being 'closed fully'. further edit... actually the chugging of the UI during playback is transitory...after a reboot... on a 1080p H264 movie the UI performance is fine... If the HEVC 10 FPS wasnt there (so far in terms of issues), i think pure android would be a useable option on firestick gen 2... The UI is so unresponsive during 10fps issue that i cant get to the cog to force transcoding...(which might be a solution)..still we know the device can direct play the content (as shown by firestick version)...so perhaps the 10fps issue is fixable. The behaviour of the app not closing down when using back button is consistent with other apps on the stick eg youtube...so that was perhaps an unfair criticism although does perhaps go to show the unexpected load playing a theme tune has...(that it cant respond immediately to a navigate away series and stop playing).

Thank for your help but I find the solution on my own (proud ^^) : I download the "Anime" plugin et ask Emby to search metadata on AniDB first, then I had to refresh my library (Bleach in absolute naming) and this is it. Season 1 contains episodes 1 to 20, season 2 espisodes 21 to 41.... Hope this will help others. Thank for your reactivity guys!

Hi, this is very much a true statement that relates to a lot of things, not just hardware transcoding. So yes, I'm sure it will work better with TrueNAS scale.

Thank you I’ll contact the admin and see how it goes.

Right it sounds like we need a three way option rather than just the straight Remember me toggle.

HI, yes font size settings are something we can look at adding. Thanks for the feedback.

Seems like the client setting may be the trick. I had the user put their setting to max instead of auto and now it is not throttling or converting. Need to check more files, but so far so good. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback !

I think i found the issue there was a very long file which emby got stuck on during the scan library files, i removed it now and it seems its scanning everything.

Hi, yes this is planned for future updates to the Emby Apple TV app. Thanks.

@SamES The alphabetical quick search feature was actually my next request to ya, but I see it's already posted here.. I am including an image of what I think this thread is talking about & what I'm talking about anyway from the Emby web version. Its not a show-stopper for me since I push the use of Genres as the default movies tab (TYVM again for fixing btw, I can't wait for that update to go out), but this search method is still a nice feature to have. < Missing on Apple TV The other issue posted here (yeah its hard to follow two issues in one post) where titles don't load isn't that big of an big issue for me (local network anyway, I have not tested with an external connection). I have noticed scrolling down the movies list very fast fast pauses every few letters but only for a fraction of a second to populate more titles (for me / ATV 4&5th gen). I believe that's what is being talked about. But I've seen that on Roku too. I would think its just easier for the system to load a hand-full of titles as you scroll rather than all at once. When I use search prior to scrolling down my whole movies list it still finds movies such as "Zathura" prior to loading the full movies list for me anyway. That's just my experience with this SO-FAR anyway.

Luke doesn't want to deal... He doesn't care that hackers hacked and destroyed Emby server

TL;DR version: Do chapters the way the ATV app does chapters.

This was a false alarm. Turns out the tablets were faking the internal storage (they are reporting 512 GB, but it looks more like 64 GB of storage). Leaving this thread in case someone else has the same symptoms (e.g. a season downloads to a point and then everything starts failing).

Wow, thanks a lot @Skrumpy for your investigation! I used to run my Emby server on an Nvidia Shield. I decided to upgrade my setup to an N100 ubuntu box. I bought a domain name, set up a reverse proxy and activated SSL for all sub-domains. Everything worked fine, except for my emby.domain.fr on my Google TV. I couldn't understand why it worked on my smartphone & emby app, but not on my Google TV (Kodi + Emby Addon) even though it was the same configuration. The address was correctly recognised, as I was able to access the authentication interface. But when I tried to connect -> invalid username or password I added the https://, and boom. It works. I'd never have thought of that, thanks to you!

Thank you for the help, I just sent an email.

OK I know that we're having this same conversation elsewhere so whatever comes of that will end up making it's way to the LG app as well.

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.

Subkiller works autimaticly, so you choose media folder, in settings choose what to do. Changes in that folder are discovered automaticly and task manager start up processing. So similar like you said, probably i won't touch it for next two years:)

@Gilgamesh_48There is no benefit to knowing how many people work for Emby either as contracted or employed directly. I myself do not even know those numbers. I would expect this is normal as that range is given for tax purposes. You must disclose certain things and that website keeps track of those things. It wasn't to deceive you or act mockingly giving a funny answer. I was being quite serious. That is the most accurate reflection of the company at this time. Emby will continue to be awesome and support your media your way regardless of how many the headcount is. Apologies it appeared there was some hidden meaning behind any of what I said. I was being honest with what information is available at this time.

+1 for this feature!! Reading .pdfs and .epubs/.mobi directly in browser would be amazing.

One other issue: there is no way to manually reorder a smart playlist, so there seems to be no way to regenerate a mixed-image cover. Never mind, figured that out by selecting playlist order then manually rendering. But still the same issues & frustration with manually reordering, then regenerating playlist cover, then manually putting tracks back where they were.

Another update - I deleted my library once again and rescanned. I no longer get the (disc 2) added to the album name. Not sure if upgrading to Version 4.9.0.26 beta has helped. I shall do more testing.

Hello just to update. I spent this weekend trying to setup DNS over HTTPS for my Emby container (and other containers), thinking if this and other websites I was having issues with were blocked on a DNS block level, that should eliminate that. Alas, it didn't. So I ended up installing Cloudflare's Warp client and now use that to route all my traffic behind Warp. I know I said I didn't want to funnel all my traffic through a VPN, but turns out latency through Warp was pretty manageable (I barely noticed it), plus allegedly Warp doesn't have a data limit, so that's a plus. Warp also eliminated another of my dependency of having to run Jackett and Prowlarr behind a gluetun container's network which was causing failures due to a race condition every time my Pi rebooted. So I am pretty happy with the workaround for time being. Still open to suggestions though.

HI, apologies, missed this posting. It is the same schedule as other platforms. It's just one of the last to build. In this case it was available the following morning. We'll try and shorten that gap of time. Thanks.

We're paying professional software developers to write code for us. Most of them are not going to want user support in forums and social media added to their job responsibility. There are dedicated staff for different types of roles, and it is best to allow everyone to focus on doing what they do best. In fact, some of them move so quickly that we actually have cases of new features that are temporarily hidden because they are waiting on me to go in and review and then make it available for you all for testing.
