It just adds an emby tag for the decade (database) - it doesn't touch the original file. Done. I should stop being lazy and add a toggle like I did with the others... Being honest, I'm still waiting (it's only been 8 years .. ) on the official smart playlists before doing any more with this plugin on tags. I might break it out or add as a tag section as there is so much that could be done with tags.

Hi, There are a lot of filters available and we can do every possible filtering combinations today with that. Still one missing, the possibility to filter by country. Today there are a lot of local productions and it will be fun to filter for instance all movies coming from China, Russia or France! Think would be great!

Please add these two filters to Movie filter view: - Decades - Country

There are a number of shows that I frequently "Shuffle" with... since I've seen all the episodes, don't intend to acquire more (or if I do I don't care about highlighting them beyond the latest added section), and episodes stand alone well enough to not want/need to watch it in order. Just want to watch a random episode during dinner or something. When I start doing this too much, the Next Up gets very cluttered. If shuffle randomly gives me S04 E05 for a show, I'm not terribly concerned about making sure I watch S04 E06 next. I've tried setting the entire series to Played, as I was hoping if all the "next episodes" were already Played it'd keep it off of Next Up, but no such luck. Would it be possible to disable Next Up for individual shows upfront so they stop showing altogether? By User possibly? Or maybe if I Shuffle specifically, it won't show but playing an episode normally does? Sorry if this is a duplicate, I searched a bit but the closest I could find was "forgetting" a series... which didn't really apply since I never want these shows to come back no matter how much I watch of it.

Hi there I am missing a sort criteria "country" in the movie database. There are several selection filelds, but none being the country. As this information is in the imdb database, it would be great to have Emby sort the movies according per country selected. If this feature does not yet exist (checked Android and Windows player), I would suggest to geht that selectable field as a sort criteria in a later release. If this feature is well hidden, kindly enlighten me... :-) Cheers, Lati

Hi, in iOS app 2.2.27 when choosing manage Emby server which is 4.8.8 activity would normally show media played ip address plus date and time. Showing when media was started and stopped. Now it does nit show the time is it now a setting I need to turn on? I have attached an example Thank you, Bryan

So the android app is completely unusable (video goes full screen to glasses obscuring control overlay) but the web app runs well. Only problem I'm having is SBS videos, can't get them to work at all. If I connect glasses (Air Pro 2) to PC the 3D works as long as I set aspect ratio to fill but that doesn't work when using Beam Pro, the images are not aligning correctly. Looks like the mismatch between the Beam (2400 x 1800) and the glasses (1920x1080) is causing the problem. Currently the only way I can play them is to download first then play with the internal player in Nebula OS. Only just setup device so I'm on latest version of all software.

Klar, freies Land. Jellyfin sollte Software-Transcoding eigentlich können, genau wie Emby. Als Emby bei mir mal keinen Zugriff auf die Hardware wegen Docker etc. hatte, lief der Server immer auf Höchstleistung. Ohne HW-Transcoding würde ich Video-Transcoding deaktivieren, also Stream mit Original-Bitrate und Codec. Mein Celeron schafft knapp 40 fps im Software-Transcoding, reicht für 1,5 Personen, also eine. Eventuell läuft es mit so vielen Cores bei dir besser und die Last wird nicht zu hoch.

I wrote this for Linux/Ubuntu for find duplicates. Concept is from original post from @PenkethBoyfound below. This will search directory and find potential duplicates, generate a Duplicates.txt file with name and path of files that are potential duplicates. find_duplicates.sh

Unless it is only 2-channel, that wouldn't be my choice for compatibility. I'd chose AC3 instead.

If you want to put as little strain as possible on your server then the object should be to ensure all your client devices are Android (preferably a Shield or a 3rd Gen Firecube), as it can direct play everything (HDR and DV is another story). No Apple TV users, no Roku users, and no PC users. An i5 will do the job if it's at least 8th gen, preferably you want 12th gen, but understand that nothing can transcode 30 simultaneous encodes as you will run into array bandwidth issues. Don't misunderstand this and think I am saying you can't stream 30 simultaneous encodes, as streaming (direct playing) is completely different from transcoding. Honestly the N95 would more than enough if every one of your clients could direct play and no transcoding would be necessary, pending of course on connections to users as I've had users get throttled down and Emby transocdes the HEVC stream into H264..frustrating.

Ok gerade über den PC getestet, da wird er mir angezeigt, dann ist hier wohl die Nvidia Shield das Problem, warum auch immer so plötzlich. Ich schaue dort mal in die Emby App in die Einstellungen. Edit: @LukeLösung gefunden, sorry... Es waren hier tatsächlich 3 Folgen einer Serie für die keine Schnittmarken beim Intro gesetzt wurden. Deshalb wurden die auch nicht angezeigt. Die nächsten 3 Folgen die ich gerade getestet habe werden wieder mit dem Skip Intro Button angezeigt. Da hat Emby beim einlesen wohl einfach Folgen vergessen.

It works for me 100% - so yes, maybe it has been fixed but I've personally never seen it 'broken'...

Open the adultmovielist.txt file in the cache and see if it has only 9 lines in it, it sounds strange. The number you see is a line count of the file. I tested before posting and am getting as I posted over 625,000 lines. File is 15.3mb at the moment. So because it's still 9, it seems suspicious like it either didn't delete or your download is being stopped?

Yup got all that. Just saying it wasn't working for me, but that was several years ago, so maybe I would have a different experience now.

yes 1. Change the name of any 'admin' account to something else that is not admin - if an attacker doesn't even know the account name, then they cannot even attempt to login. 2. Ensure the clients are hiding all the usernames and set it to only show those that have previously logged in. 3. Disable remote 'Admin' access (or whatever you have called it). Do you really need to admin emby remotely ? If yes, then there are secure options to do this. 4. Ensure you use a nonemby admin account for all your 'normal' activity. 5. Ensure all non-admin accounts have the correct permissions setup - and give least priviledge - ie if they don't need delete, then remove it ! 6. Try and ensure you are using https - and ideally a reverse proxy and use default ports. (80 redirect to 443) 7. If not using a reverse proxy, change the default ports to something not commonly in use. 8 ... There are LOADS more but this will get you started .. MFA is actually well down the list - there is zero point having that until your security foundations are solid .. @sa2000Other than - Secure Your Server | Emby Documentation - which just discusses TLS - would it be a good idea to have a Knowledgebase with a list similiar to the above on ALL the 'best practice' items the user should do before they even attempt to click the 'remote access' button for emby ? The 'out the box' security profile for emby is pretty shocking tbh ...

Ei Gude Mando, ich spring mal ein. Internet-Qualität: Soweit ich weiß, wird nur ein Mal beim Start des Videos der Speed gemessen, nicht konstant. Manchmal kann es daher sein, dass Auto eine zu hohe oder niedrige Geschwindigkeit melden, oder der Empfang schlechter wurde. Funktioniert an sich gut, nur bei lokalen Geräten wie TV oder TV-Stick würde ich die tatsächliche W-LAN-Geschwindigkeit wählen. Das ist gut so, und irgendwie auch das Sinnvollste. Mache eine Bibliothek für 4k, eine für 1080p und weniger. 4k Transcoding geht gut auf die Hardware, siehe nächster Punkt. Wenn ich das richtig sehe, unterstützt die CPU kein Quicksync, also HW-Transcoding. Software Transcoding bei 1080p schafft vielleicht eine ruckelfreihe Wiedergabe, bei 4k hast du bei doppelter Auflösung die vierfache Datenmenge. Mein intel Celeron J1900 mit Quicksync schafft 240 fps bei 1080p, könnte somit ca. 60 fps schaffen, bedeutet maximal 2 4k-Streams bei voller Auslastung. Deine CPU wird wahrscheinlich schon bei 1080p gut zu tun haben. Ich denke das Sinnvollste bei deiner Ausstattung wäre, auf Video-Transcoding zu verzichten und nur Audio-Transcoding zu aktivieren.

Hey, sorry for the delay in replying. I finally got around to stripping out all but one subtitle track and now I can resume it without issue. It still gets stuttery if I skip forward and/or back, which I'm beginning to think is due to my ageing hard drive. Replacements are on the list, but replacing ~60TB of drives is not cheap so I've been putting it off.

Agreed - the search and filtering is very limited. The fact you still can't compound (AND) or expand (OR) a search in 2024 is frankly a little embarassing for the product .. Yea I just created the decade logic to find all the '80's movies' for example in a single button click. Either via the filter or from the Tag option itself. Really not sure why this hasn't been implemeted tbh .. Of course the ideal place to have it is when you filter by date... but after all these years, it's still missing ..

It was on automatic, I already put it in Spanish and restarted the app and it comes out in Spanish, thank you, sorry for the inconvenience.

You should consider fail2ban as it helps protect against brute force attacks. If you aren't already using SSL and a reverse proxy server, consider SWAG docker as it includes fail2ban. https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/swag/

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

I'm confused now, what are you talking about ? Ether your clients does not support the codec and transcode, or they will and direct play. Most of my clients support this format, and direct play.

It works the same.

If you are just using OTA, then Channels won't give you anything more than Emby does, guide-wise (in my opinion anyway). Integrating Channels into Emby is best for bringing in TVE sources that Emby doesn't do yet.

I would guess it depends only on client hardware support of H265 and internet bandwidth. If clients do not support H265 you would have to transcode.

The emby connect URL you posted is the HTTPS URL, have you set up HTTPS on your system and forwarded the port? Otherwise you need to use the HTTP URL (and forward the HTTP port).

I also have this in one of my unreleasd plugins that I use for my own reasons daily , I add the actual year as (example) #1987 and the decade as #1980's. So very similar! I think with at least two people who are able to impliment it did so, then it shows that it would get used by many more..... Saves me from messing around with the "as I feel -my personal opinion" - awkward at best filters, and the very lack lustre search function that devs thing is soooo good, but is actually very limited. There should be at least an avanced search that enables you to search by media type alone, and return more than 50 results. Have you tried searching for something like the anime called "blood" ?, it simply doesnt even show because of how unhelpful the search is when there are literally 1000's of movies with that in their name, by adding tags you can at least negate this and use the tag system to filter all movies with blood in their name. Clcik one with that tag then list them all with that tag. I like TAGS

Follow-up #2: Some of these errors may also have been related to a mis-configured reverse proxy. After reconfiguring my reverse proxy per this post, I am not seeing these errors any longer.

Hi GrimReaper, Thank you for your reply. All is clear now.

Ok, after some digging I have found some potential issues not related to Emby. Turns out the locale and mount settings for the network storage is messing with the characters on the server side. You can consider this issue closed for the time being. Thank you for quick response!

I can't comment on the Core (agreed, there is a LOT of crucial functionality missing .. ) but the base version which we collaborated on is in the catalogue. My enhanced versions are not because the original coder (cheesegeezer) is no longer active and he has the catalogue upload account. The other aspect is if it's in the catalogue, then you have to officially support it. I don't want that commitment (I'm not a Dev) - so If you want to use the many Plugin's outside the catalogue - that's entirely up to you but you need to accept the risk and low levels of support .. Re the hash for tags - that seems a good idea as # would not normally be used as part of a filename - not promising but I'll see what I can do.

In theory: yes, it should choose the version which'd be played most efficiently on the client device, at the time. But it doesn't always work as intended, it has been known to misbehave on occasion, in certain scenarios. You can lend your support here:

Thanks for checking - I would say my issue is resolved. The only bonus question that arose from discussion was if there was any way to improve the ordering of subtitles. When there are a ton of internal subs, I have to scroll all the way to the bottom for the text based external one.

Ahh okay - so no way to do it non-destructively, without removing any existing custom ones? I guess I could somehow copy just the images/metadata that are stored in the correct place to another location for the time being and copy them back over so at least it's not the entire media library's worth that needs fixing!

Looks like it is working again now @Luke Many thanks!

Thanks everyone! Checked the startup log and it was the cert. Not sure what is happening. I'm using the DDNS and Let's Encrypt features of my ASUS router. Maybe there is an issue with the auto renew functions. If it happens again, I be sure to check that log first.

You'll have to have the administrator of the emby server you are accessing delete all the devices you've logged in from; via the admin dashboard devices page. Unless you are an admin of that server, you will not have access to that page yourself.

I don't want to seem insistent and I understand that it's summer time, I'd just like to know if it will be implemented or I no longer have to hope for this request. Thank you

I came up with this batch script via the internet and a bit of editing. It will add chapters using a chapter.xml file. Can easily be edited to add/remove/change other stuff as well. It uses mkvmerge so will require installing mkvtoolnix. Run it from the directory you have the files to be changed in. Example chapters file attached. @echo off set mkvmerge="C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" if not exist "-converted" (mkdir "-converted") for %%f in (*.mkv *.mp4 *.avi *.m4v) do %mkvmerge% -o "-converted//%%~nf.mkv" --chapters chapters2.xml "%%f" echo. echo ============================ echo Script finished. Press any key to exit. pause>nul exit Chapters2.xml

Hi, I'm having some problems with the new 10.x version to get it to work, and I couldn't find a solution for my problem yet. I installed the 4 add-ons (making sure video is last) but when I add the server I don't get the popup to select the libraries. (I can however log in on the Emby server, I can see a successful login in the Emby logs). Also when I go in the services add-on settings and go to Sync => Manage Libraries => Add Libraries I only see an option "All" instead of my 2 collections (movies and shows). They were showing up in the past (I have been using the add-on for a couple of years without any problems) Emby server: 4.8.8.0 Kodi: coreelec 21.0-Omega (stable, fresh install with no other add-ons installed, running on an ODROID N2+) Service: 10.0.44 / Video 10.1.0 Any idea if I did something wrong or how I can get it back to work? I attached the Kodi logs, if you need debug logs, let me know. Thanks in advance! reggi kodi.log

That fixed it! My bad. I had read that a couple times, but wasn't sure where to do that. I found it under Metadata for that particular channel. I'll try it with these others. Also my zip had been changed slightly due to having read that helped somewhere, so I changed it back. Thank you!

Can you mark this In RED People do not read notes

I can not stress this enough, when creating a new docker Emby server in unRaid. If you are using the official Emby Docker emby/embyserver:latest or emby/embyserver:beta. But if you use some of the other docker out there, be sure to check. You need to change UID to 99 and GID to 100. Other wise you will end up with permission problems. Below picture default Emby Server template. Below with the needed changes.

HI, yes we are working on improving this. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Luke, yes was still having issues with the stable version. I just updated to the latest beta (4.9.0.28) and it is now working again.

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

Yeah, basically you want a way to mark a series as "non-sequential" because next up doesn't really make sense with some series.

In all my postings I have always stated that those with home theaters are in a minority. The way media is consumed today is not to my liking and my retina would feel violated by watching bitstarved content unless it is on a mobile device were blocking and banding can only be noticed with a magnifying glass. For the devs of EMBY it is important because it generates revenue. Modern or NEW does not mean necessarily better. I know you share your content with others not in your home I share my content ONLY with those in my home. For different users there are different preferences of how we want to experience our entertainment. Again I fully understand being in the minority here, but I want my HD or UHD content with HD Audio and again that is a format preferred by a minority of users. I seriously doubt people will store a 5GB DTS-MA audio track when they can get by with a fraction of that size in a different format, again that is not me. But for the devs here they need to find a way on how to feed their families. The good thing is, for me Emby has reached a stage that it displays my media in a way I like it, easy to navigate and fast, problem free except when updating to version 4.* and the only thing I have to watch out for now is, be careful with the next update because it may break what is working now. Bottom line "One's man's pleasure is another's pain" BDs & UHDs for me are a pleasure but for the MakeMKV crowd here they are a pain.
