The contact is coming through the NAS networking layer; by stopping it there, less resources are getting used. If a thief wants to steal your TV, you could either bolt it to the floor to prevent them taking it, or you could secure your house so they can't come in at all. Stopping the intrusion at the NAS networking level is like locking your house doors. Paul

To be honest, I haven't done much on it, since I posted this here. Was just too busy with other stuff in my life. I had the script working in a way that I could run it manually after library updates. But it was such a mess, because I tested so much out with how to handle the caching, how to track changes of posters or getting to know if it's already edited or not, how to handle the whole creation of overlays and stuff. It worked, but it wasn't looking nice^^ And since it was working for me, I kinda lost interest in working on it. But.. now it's not working anymore, because IMDb changed a few important things on their website. Because of that, I decided to start fresh and make it clean this time. There is also a way to use the GraphQL API that IMDb uses to fetch content, so I won't rely on scraping the website anymore. Of course, there's no ETA, but I'm freshly motivated again. My free time is limited though, so it will take quite some time.

Done.

Looks like your tag did not work but PM Abobader your information.

I am looking to see if a SAML2/OAuth plugin is something others would use. I myself would love this feature to share Emby publicly with family members and friend and worry a little less about insecure passwords that some may use. I personally am a big advocate for security as I work in IT and see how a lack of good security can cause havoc. I love Okta and what it offers. Anyone can sign up and use it for free under 1000 users if you sign up as a Developer. That is just plain awesome. Let's see who else is interested. I am excited to find out! Thanks

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

Realistically write nfo files with media will preserve date added value. If you don't then upgrading media is new media as original is deleted from the database losing all metadata and readded as a new item.

I'll try. Changing the "sample" may not produce the problem.

I will assume both were running on port 8096. Each instance needs to be configured on their own port if you are running more than one server. Since Jellyfin is a fork of Emby the default ports remain the same.

Lessaj! I found the answer. I had Jellyfin installed on my PC, and I uninstalled it. Now, I'm getting the LAN address and access to my server. Thanks for the help!

Hello, The problem still exists even with version 4.8.0.28.

I've never used the Emby blacklist - but it's easy enough to find out by using Wireshark. I suspect emby are simply not replying to the http request, as oppose to dropping the TCP session, but it achieves the same thing - the end user not getting a response.

It does yes, but that is dependant if you have that shown on the homepage and/or where it is on your homepage and/or how many things you have coming in as new all at once. I know it's a lot of ifs and buts as everyone has everything showing differently etc. not sure it warrants another section to view. It would be a nice QOL improvement and if it was toggleable that would be great for those that didn't like it. I know that I would prefer the new ones at the front as it will be an "a ha moment" and I would scroll to find what I was watching previously with no complaints.

IMO - A manual method is simply not maintainable. It needs to be done in combination with a reverse proxy, fail2ban for synology etc - but this all needs experience setting it all up to work with emby. Hence by original point about emby providing the full solution ..

Oh. I did not do that. I'll work on that and see if that is my issue. Thank you!

Yes, that was. Thanks a lot. (Unblocked)

ok looks like I identified the issue. My server seems to have problems about ipv6. I am not able to ping6 any IP... I disabled it systemwide and all is back to normal. I still need to find out why, but for now I am fine. Thanks

Okay wired is definitely better. How did you confirm the client is getting 1gig? The port speed is not necessarily indicative of the achievable performance, there could be quality issues with the cabling for example so even if they auto neg to 1gig on the port doesn't mean you can actually get 1gig. I'm not sure if using a non-RFC1918 could cause issues like this but I would definitely recommend changing the address space as a place to start. You could still use 216 in it, maybe 192.168.216.0/26 as that's within the range. I would also definitely recommend a static IP for your server - being always online and refreshing the DHCP lease it should keep the address but it's best to have it statically assigned/configured.

@Lessaj - I have tested the shield wireless/wired. It is currently wired. Everything in the chain is hardwired modem->router->switch--->Emby Server and --->NAS (emby libraries) and --->shield. @rbjtech - The 216 subnet was setup years ago for 1 sentimental reason and 1 practical reason. My father died on Feb-16 so it was my clever way (or so I thought) of keeping him around. Two - as you identified, I wanted to limit the number of potential IPs available. I haven't experienced any issues with any other service or network issues so I was skeptical this could be part of the problem but I am open to changing it. When you say forcing the IP, I assume you mean static? It's all DHCP right now. After the UDM pro it goes into a separate uni switch which all my devices are then connected to.

Completely unfair, IMO. It is effective for what it needs to do and within the scope of our product. If the user doesn't exist, what would be locked out? You might say something like IP address but my response would be that would have limited effect and, also, that level of blocking is better left to something at the network level. If they try forever with an invalid user, what is the harm? They'll never get in... so, aren't they effectively "locked out" of Emby?

Even that can be obtained from free with some DDNS providers

Maybe the cost of making a second post in the forum?

Yep, reported and resolved with the latest version.

Sure - it depends how urgently you want a solution. Paul

Thanks for mentioning that. I had it installed in the past but not right now. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

216 is not an RFC1918 local address - it is a Public WAN address. If this is LAN only, then it will 'work' - but it's not ideal. Any reason for this ? - there is plenty of RFC1918 address space that should be used for this purpose. Subnet is also a /26 - again, fine but strange for a home lan. (64 IP's) Have you tried forcing 216.13.1.24 as your emby local IP address and also adding 216.13.1.24/26 into 'LAN networks' to force it into thinkings its a 'local' IP ? (in Dashboard>Server>Network) ? I think you'll likely have contininous issues with routing (not just in emby) - so unless there is a good reason to not use an RFC1918 address for your LAN (or subnets thereof) - then personally, I would change this. What is the switch setup with the UDM ? Are you just using the UDM directly as a switch (I believe it has a 4 port switch built in), or are any other switches cascaded ?

I can see the error in the python code in the github. I guess I get to learn how to use github and either submit a change or fork it lol.

Each device should now have its own default player

Thank you for the audiobooks added functionality. You sir deserve a cookie and a hug. Cheers!

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

I haven't had issues with the local system until this week, unfortunately. Both systems have played everything I've thrown at it and then some. Maybe this is the perfect excuse for new hardware lol.

Privacy isn't typically effortless. Instead of some upfront effort to learn new skills, privacy is often traded for ease of use/setup. I prefer to put the effort in. It leaves me with knowledge and skills I can put to use in other projects; while helping to minimize the number of companies harvesting my info and trying to sell me crap. P.S. The cost of a domain is so small, I forget it exists...

OK we'll take a look at this. Thanks for reporting.

I'm not sure how i'd do that since that m3u is the output of the docker. I can look into it. Thank you for noticing that.

Maybe add a color toggle next to the category toggles? "Highlight" might be better than "Color".

Not knowing the situation but you could do this. Using Multiple Servers | Emby Documentation

I thought that the protection should have been better implemented for user login when attempts are failing. On my NAS I can specify that after like 5 attempts the IP address is banned for 24h or longer. Don't know if the implementation for that in Emby would be difficult.

Hi, yes this is resolved for the next update to the Emby LG app. Thanks.

There was a commitment by the devs earlier this year to introducing it in the beta after the current one - i.e. not in 4.9, but in 4.10 or 5.0, whatever it gets called. Paul

Hi, yes a major update is nearly ready. Thanks.

Vote for "episode image" rather than "series backdrop" or "series thumb". "Episode image" is morrrrrrre distinctive for the next episode!

Hi, yes we are working on getting the Emby Apple TV caught up to our other apps. Thanks.

HI, we are working on getting these features added to the Emby Apple TV app. Thanks for the feedback.

5 years later now, ugh What future updates will include this? how many more years? lol

Clearing data/cache of the app fixed all issues. I guess the app was "clogged" somehow...
