HI, we are looking into it. Thanks.

Thanks! Just one more performance thing I noticed : The default logging for the initial sync is very noisy, especially the 100k+ person, episode, etc "ADD" lines are eating a substantial amount of IO and some CPU resources. In this situation the sync is already hammering the sqlite db, so having to deal with this additional IO isn't really helping. While this isn't a huge problem for modern nvme ssds, it's really noticeable on machines with slower storage (builtin storage, sdcards, hdds). I would suggest to suppress these "ADD" log lines at least for the initial sync. to summarize: changing the log level from info to debug for "ADD" items can reduce the initial sync time on slower systems/storage by almost 1/3 (depends on how big your library is) core/* (EMBY.core.xyz: ADD lines) : - xbmc.log(f"EMBY.core.person: ADD [{Item['KodiItemId']}] {Item['Name']}: {Item['Id']}", 1) # LOGINFO + xbmc.log(f"EMBY.core.person: ADD [{Item['KodiItemId']}] {Item['Name']}: {Item['Id']}", 0) # LOGDEBUG

Hi, I like manage my games (EMU, VN etc.) in Emby, the look and feel is great, especially I also have lots of Anime, and Games and Anime combine really well in the same server. GameBrowser plugin is great in separating GameSystems, but has no support for using local metadata file. So recently I've already updated NfoMetadata plugin to be able to read from a local game.nfo file, which is also helpful to be able to use external scrappers. But I've noticed that in Emby Games Metadata does not contain person information, such as game director, artists, writers, voice actors etc. Looking through decompiled source, it appears Game.SupportsPeople = false. I'd like a way to modify this to true through an API of some sort in the plugin. If that's not possible then could you please change this in MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.Game? change it to true. I know Emby is not initially designed to work with games, but at least it works, and works great. So I'd like to contribute to the development of Game features to make it a great Game Management tool. Thanks!

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.

Hi all I know Emby introduced "tags" which take the categories from XMLTV EPG. However, in the Guide view, these categories are not available to navigate (listed either horizontally, or vertically). Plex does this with its own built in channels (though doesn't have support for the XMLTV categories at all). Would love to see this on Emby.

Prime Day is coming up, great time to get some Firesticks for dirt cheap. Alternatively you could go with some cheap Chinese boxes and use Kodi or LibreELEC with the Emby Plugin.

And whomever that is is using us against our terms so beware that they could disappear at any time. I wouldn't suggest giving them your money.

Dev will have to comment more but don't think this has been mentioned before. 00:25:53.428 Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): No such file or directory I don't see how but this topic suggest a UI issue.

HI, we are looking into this. Thanks.

and jellystat with emby support is out. docker only. it looks pretty neat so far

Aaand it was 100% my fault: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path [...] Emby user didnt have write access and wasnt able to replace the original file thus running into an exception. and canceling the transfer. My Problem was solved following the guidance of this article: https://emby.media/support/articles/Linux-Unix-Permissions.html Little sidenote: Paths to media seem to be not anonymized in the log.

It has been ready to go into beta in May 2022. That's all I can say.

Okay I see. That could be pretty likely. I'll try some other files then, thank you!

Hi, let’s look at a specific example: How to Report a Problem Thanks.

问题已解决。后来我发现是我的文件夹里的视频文件没有完整上传，容量为0。重新上传后，问题解决，可以播放了。

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 we can look into adding that. @roaku thanks.

Maybe a (simpler) workaround would be If Emby would download the entire .strm file and then work off the local file the connection would only be in use (locked) during the time it took to download the video. It would also provide a bit better stability by working off a local copy. People with bandwidth limitations may not be on board with this but it could be a user option to buffer the entire .strm.

If I had a magic wand I would use it to make Emby focus solely on media presentation and playback and offload all aspects of remote internet access and security to vpns and whatnot.

I'm also waiting for this feature. Thanks

Also looking forward to this feature.

Hi, yes I agree this would make sense. Thanks.

The log 63856095029 is filled with MediaBrowser.Common.Extensions.DirectoryUnavailableException: Path Not Found errors for your smb paths. Probably need to go over how you setup your library folders also as this suggest a way that can not be done.
