Hi guys, I noticed that Emby supports multiple artists within the artist field (separated by semicolon ; ) and this feature enables the "Appears On" section within the artist page. Super Cool So, now, i can use the semicolon to separate "featured" artists in all the tracks and stop using the traditional "feat." One particular issue this creates is that the "Artists" section now becomes a dumping ground "littered" with all kind of "lower quality" artists (some of them really underground that appears just on singles). I mean it's ok, we have "Album Artists" for the "big guys" and "Artists" for "general population" One suggestion though ... In the Artist "profile" page, within the "More Like This" section, can we use "Album Artist" instead of "Artist" ? It's cool that i can see more artists like the one i'm viewing, within the same genre ... just wanted to switch that module from displaying "album artists" instead of "artists" in order to eliminate the "lower quality" ones (those that appears only on "features" within tracks). PS: Thanks for all your work !

Yes, having a “default artist” setting that controls what type of artist (album artist, artist, composer) is displayed in suggestions is a great solution. In my case the “Artist” top-level tab and it’s page is totally useless and redundant. If i could i would just completely remove it Since i use the multi-artist feature (separating feat. artists by semicolon in the artist field) … the main and relevant artists within my library are the “Album Artists”. All the rest are just clutter. Even if you have a “singles” based library without actual albums, having the “album artist” tag filled will help to differentiate the main artist from the feat/collab within a multi-artist per song scenario.

Hi, two reasons for this: Usually when you use the Identify feature, you are changing from something incorrect to something new, therefore the text will be different. At least this is the purpose of the feature A long time ago we had it pre-filled, and no matter how much help text we added, users would click Next without changing any details, and then think something was wrong with Emby when they got no results on the next screen.

I totally agree with this request. When composers are blended with album artists I have well over 5,000 people to sift through. I love having the tabs for each type of person but would love the option to set a default artist display anywhere such displays exist.

Thanks I had to modify slightly to manage empty Device Array it would seem, which slowed down release slightly. But have tested and released to Emby Plugin Store, still not completely sure why the github https thumbnail image remains blank on my testing (but is comestic only…) Although also caught up and translated this thread, which hadn't seen until now...

I've also noticed that the "More Like This" section may also include "Composers" in some instances. Therefore this is another area of Emby where the combining of "Album Artists", "Artists" and "Composers" can be useful for some, but problematic for others. I would personally agree with this sentiment, but think that more flexibility is also worthwhile to allow for diverse use-cases: Some people are contemporary album-oriented! Others have a dedicated classical composer-focussed music library! Others just want to make playlists of songs! Many have some combination of the above! Most have a diverse music library and a unique way of curating and listening to it! Yes, the combining of the three entities does cause pollution/dilution of the various music views and therefore much frustration in many instances. Perhaps the ultimate solution is better filtering/grouping options, across the UI, to allow for differences in personal preference? It's good that Emby has "Album Artist", "Artist" and "Composer" as top-level menu tabs. It would be really great if more options were available beyond this!!!

bingo..i made UHD use BD cover and that worked.. thank you

That seems to have done it. Unchecking, closing the settings. Refreshing the page. Opening the settings, checking the metadata, refreshing and then refreshing metadata has solved the issue. Thank you

Haven't visited the forums for quite a while (because Emby just works, I don't need to!). Been here since the old MediaBrowser Windows MCE days. Good times! I used to bug @ebrso much in those early days haha.

We all know rather a movie, TV special, TV series even when ALL the info is correct there are items for whatever reason still have to manually be fixed. Personally I think it's something to do with TVDB itself and not Emby.

For sure. I am happy to help beta test if you need to..

another example of a mismatch to add for testing, the correct series directory existed in the library already Sorting file \\10.1.0.21\Sorting\Me.S01.E10...The.End.of.the.Beginning.mp4 to new path \\10.1.0.21\Media\TV\Merlin (2008)\Season 1\Merlin.S01.E10...The.Moment.of.Truth.mp4

Not much has changed, the first post is still correct. If you are using EmbyCon and having issues setting it up, best to post in the EmbyCon sub forum. Unfortunately the Embuary skin is no longer maintained, it has its own thread and there are a few dedicated user helping out there to get users up and running with the latest Kodi releases trying to use this skin.

لا يمكنني إلا أن أخمن أنه من المحتمل أن يكون هناك خطأ ما بالفعل في ملفات ts. Can only guess there is possibly something actually wrong with the ts files.

Youtube could be used as inspiration on this one. Pic below for reference. Their buffer health and connection speed can be super useful when troubleshooting a weak connection, especially for Live TV that seems to have a *very* finnicky (or short?) buffer on Emby.

Each media distributor has licensing available. Often trailers are no charge. You have to ask each studio separately. Otherwise, you pay for a conglomerator, apparently like Fabricdata where they get free trailers and then charge you for their use. You can try various studios and see what happens. They usually want to see some pathway for the use of a trailer to end up with a sale of the media. If a link to purchase the product were to be included with the trailer view, it would probably make it easier to get free trailers. Example from where I used to work: https://clips.mgm.com/home

I would love per device configs. It's so dumb I need another user for my music library just so that's all it displays on my phone. I'll never watch TV/movies on my phone, only music.

UP! This thing still exists and is really frustrating sometimes because it "devalues" all the artists recommendations within the "more like this" section in the artist profile page. Since we use the semicolon (;) to split multiple artists, now we have a huge amount of "obscure" or "feat." artists that litters Emby. Maybe you guys should focus the interface on "Album Artists" instead of "Artists". Basically, all the main artists in a music collection are "Album Artists" and by using the "Artist" you devalue recommendations. I think that "More Like This" section in the Artist profile page should be populated by "Album Artists" instead of "Artists". Since i implemented the multiple artist semicolon separation; even the "Artist" main page became irrelevant since is cluttered with everybody making it totally useless Please, focus on "Album Artists" through the interface.

Wie wäre es damit, dass ihr mal sämtliche Positionen, die mit Transkodierung unter EINEM EINZIGEN Bereich zusammenfasst? Wie soll der normale Anwender, der lediglich einen einzigen Benutzer hat, darauf kommen, dass er im Benutzerkonto das nochmal extra deaktiviern muss? Wie wäre es damit, dass dem unerfahrenem Anwender direkt im Bereich Transkodieren die Möglichkeit gegeben wird, das Transkodieren komplett abzuschalten, ohne extra für jeden Benutzer das nochmal machen zu müssen? Mit entsprechenden Hinweisen? Ein simpler EIN/AUS Schalter? Das ist oft das Problem mit den Entwicklern - sie können sich nicht in den unerfahrenen Anwender rein versetzen. Was für sie selbstverständlich ist, ist für den unerfahrenen und normalen Anwender nicht verständlich. Ich hätte es schon viel eher verstanden, wenn ich im Bereich Transkodieren den Hinweis bekommen hätte, dass ich das für den Benutzer, Clienten extra deaktiviern muss. Warum kann man das nicht bei der Ersteinrichtung schon einbauen? Beim Anlegen des Benutzers? Ihr habt so ein tolles Programm geschaffen. In vielen Dingen sehr leicht verständlich - und so ein wichtiges Detail wie das Transkodieren wird kaschiert. Das ist hier das Gleiche, wenn der Landwirt Willi zum Oberarzt Professor Neunmalklug geht, und der ihm sagt, er hätte einen infektiösen Rhinitis. Der kann damit nix anfangen und geht dann zum Landarzt, welcher ihm dann sagt, er hat lediglich einen einfachen Schnupfen. Und wollt ihr jetzt auch mal die Oberfläche von den einzelnen Apps auf 4K anpassen, oder müssen wir weiterhin mit diesen pizzatellergroßen Icons mit Schriftgröße 30 leben? Ich hab mir vor lauter Frust schon überlegt, ob ich nicht einfach einen HTPC hole, musste aber leider feststellen, dass HDR höchstens mit einer entsprechenden Garfikkarte möglich ist. Mit den Onboardkarten kann man wohl Dolby Vision vergessen. Auf ein Update oder Upgrade für die Nvidia Shield braucht man nicht zu hoffen.

Displaying them as a gallery is certainly possible.

What are you even talking about? Try and stay on topic. Emby Watch Party. Most people posting here want it. There, I summed it up for you.

Many users want this and the competitors already have it, and have had the feature for years. We're just tired of waiting and hearing, "it's planned for a future release".

I do think it would be helpful to give a bit more info about this kind of thing in general though. e.g. 'this feature is planned for future updates but unfortunately there's a lot of things in the list above it', or 'this feature is planned for future updates and the good news is its nearly at the top', or 'this feature is planned for future updates and its near the top but there's a few biggies in the way which will take a while'.

Who really want this? You’re in the minority. They have larger issues like no Dolby vision and a bunch of other issues with the appletv client. Hopefully this one never comes. You’re also posting in the plug-in forum not feature request. Does this feature work with plex on Roku. Emby claims they can’t issue remote commands to Roku so how would they be able to keep the videos in sync, so wondering if plex does.
