Just +1ing this for music. All my music is ReplayGain tagged and it's pretty annoying for the volume to be all over the place since I like to listen to large playlists on shuffle.

Please provide feedback of failed recordings somewhere, not just the text logfile via "ServiceUnavailable" entries. Doing so in the "Live TV -> Recordings" panel's content seems like a good place. Similar in function to what the Channels DVR server's UI gives me. Note the panels shaded in red: TL&DR version: This aspect of Emby recordings has been a thorn in my side and I hope it can be remediated one day not too far off in the future. I.e. the lack of feedback and visibility when a recording fails due to the "ServiceUnavailable" exception. In my case, they happen as no fault of Emby's operation; there's always a problem with the source. The request here is to provide feedback and visibility of that fact when a recording has failed. it has been months now with my HDHomeRun devices and antennas that I need to closely count how many concurrent recording I have going over the course of a day, to prevent exceeding free antennas. I have two devices, for a total of 8 tuners, the last 2 of 8 being ATSC 3.0. And either when more than 8 channels need to be recorded concurrently, or more than 2 ATCS 3.0 tuners are needed but they are already in use, the well known "ServiceUnavailable" condition will persist until the needed type of tuner doesn't free before the recording retries expire. But, unless I go scour and search for "ServiceUnavailable" and pay attention to the recording name and whether the recording started after a few of them, I won't know of an error. I have multiple TVE sources configured in my Channels Server. Which I've configured in Emby as both a m3u8 source and XMLTV guide data. In the last few weeks various programs and channels started having problems, rapidly degrading the last few days (corrected it by switching over to use the beta). Again however, there is no UI based visibility to this fact. But since over the course of the last few weeks I'd moved all movie recordings and a few Series recordings from Channels to Emby -- to enjoy its superior presentation of new shows and movies both visually and thru the unified/consolidated list -- the number of failures I'd been experiencing in Emby had probably been 10x or 20x more than you see in that screencap. And I had no idea! What you see in that screencap is what they call their "Calendar". It's loosely similar to Emby's "Live TV > Recordings" panel. But with the all important twist that they show a card for both successful and failed recordings. If the Emby Recordings panel's content were modified to include some type of generic error image graphic for failed recordings too like the Channels Calendar -- could be made configurable thus show failures optionally -- the very user unfriendly and time-consuming task of viewing and scouring the log files and searching for multiple instances of "ServiceUnavailable" for missing recordings, could be ended. Hope folks feel this "up vote" worthy. Thanks all.

As these two MALL of FURY albums are freely downloadable from Bandcamp, I downloaded the FLAC versions to see if I could help: The direct downloaded files imported correctly into Emby with the basic info shown correctly. Running through Picard - no problems importing Running through Mp3tag - no problems importing Looking at your screenshot with the errors, I did wonder if you had two Album titles separated by a semi-colon e,g. "English Title; Japanese Title". If this was the case, then perhaps Emby is not recognising the Japanese characters, but also Emby does not allow for multiple Album titles (AFAIK) so the semicolon character appears in the Album title (I could replicate this). Maybe this gives you some clues? If not perhaps someone else can download the Albums and try to figure it out?

In settings under "Home screen" I think you will find the options you need.

I think I've figured it out. The new files to be detected are being written by a another container that also runs on on emby-one. The containers have the same /unraid mount point passed through as /movies & /tvshows bind mounts to Podman. So since the files are being written on emby-one (not the remote nfs host Unraid), the other containers on emby-one are aware of file changes as presumably they share the same inode? Which allows inotify to work. I tested manually creating test files on /unraid/movies on emby-two and it was picked up by the real time monitoring.

Until there's a dedicated option, the easiest thing to do is just disable the season provider on the library.

Hi Just take a screen shot of the tags in the Picard UI.

TVDB responded in a week or so to a ticket I raised recently about an incorrect entry (a series with, until recently, one surviving episode classified incorrectly as a movie; the missing episode has now been found but can't be added to TVDB...). They rejected my request for a correction (I can't add the series myself because the movie entry already links to the series entry in IMDB and so blocks it) because I hadn't given them links to alternative sources of information - I had simply given them the IMBD and TMDB series ID numbers (which are already inappropriately linked in their movie entry!) and expected them to be able to look them up themselves... Paul

OK i do see the issue with the spacebar. It is dependent on what currently has focus. Thanks.

season title support has been added to the moviedb and tvdb plugins, so try refreshing metadata once you have those updates.

Sorry for the late reply Luke. Was on holiday for a minute. Yes, that fix worked so thank you. Cheers!!!

I had to remove some stuff here. There is too much extra work to have some features, due to some of the changes in the dashboard. But, mostly the plugin will be the same... You'll see, I'll update the catalog tonight.

Fair point lol

How about on Settings - Playback - Preferred audio language? This one does it for me, but many others are fine.

Duration/runtime is now correct for movie versions. Thanks I also noticed that you readded 'Refresh Item" for seasons and shows. Thanks again. Truly Appreciated LongMan

I do import it it manually for this show as I have to download it manually using Get_iPlayer as my wife likes to watch it early evening before the actual broadcast time evrything else I let my automation rename and it seems to work fine for nearly everything. If I could persuade SWMBO to watch Casualty on a Sunday instead of a Saturday I wouldn't have to do the dance but it's worth it for the brownie points The origional post wasn't so much an ask for a solution as a general discussion.

Understood. I only reported the issue because "Play All" works on v10 but not v11. I thought there might be other users of the skin given that it is Emby specific.

thanks all, problem is resolved (Avast menus for the firewall is not clear, and why it does override WIndows firewall with no option to remove this setting is ...) topic closed (not sure how I close)

If people insist you keep things you reckon they'll never watch, I suggest you transcode them down to 1Mbps and regain some storage space that way. If they never watch them then the quality loss doesn't matter, and if they do and complain, just tell them that's how you were able to save them. Paul

Where did you get that from? Any client anywhere can connect to a server with Premium without an additional payment. Paul

I can't believe it! With the Emby for Android the movies that didn't have surround sound, now they have It looks a little bit different but i have here all the admin options that i had only on my pc. Thanks to Seanbuff!

Okay, I just got done switching to addon mode and it's play both versions now. I'll switch back to native mode and test it again with path substitution off. I always had path substitution off before (share is mounted on my Shield), it must have got turned on during the upgrade process and I forgot to turn it off.

i have now run, using the beta, for a full day and I let each show run to the end. So far I have not seen the freeze even once. But it has only been a day and I cannot be sure that any show I have watched would have exhibited the problem on the earlier release. I would like to be able to say that this is fixed but, clearly from the nature of the problem, I cannot say that. The only thing I will be able to report is that I have not seen the problem, until I do. Would you folks, please, not allow problems like this to appear again. Please keep the problems to ones where i can say, "This is 100% reproducible." I do not like problems that clearly exist but that cannot be relied upon. I want reliable bugs, not these little intermittent bugs that no one can actually prove they exist or prove that they are fixed after the fix gets reported.

Aside from Premiere queries - for 25 users (or even fraction of that) Android server on Shield might not be advisable solution, among other things you're bound to hit I/O issues rather sooner than later and your overall experience will be quite poor subsequently.

Looking forward to you answer and fix. thank you

Making any progress on this?

Seven years and counting, But I am sure as @Luke @ebr

Hi @Luke, @ebr Eight years and counting, yikes...Let's review. Standard Tag, Available artwork online (back in the day when emby had it's own image library - I personally contributed hundreds) but hey the collage thing works as well. No real need for a separate tab. But I am sure as Luke said "Hi, yes this is certainly possible for future updates. Thanks for the feedback." Just do it like video

Thanks, I was able to restore from a backup and am back to square one with a clean install with my Library in tact. Will revist on how to remove LiveTV in the next couple of weeks. My objective is to move purely to NextPVR. Right now, I have a combination of both. Emby uses the HDHR-4K that transcodes for Emby Apps on my phone in a remote seeting, but all my kodi devices on local LAN use NextPVR with HDHomerun OTA devices (very old ones) if ain't broke don't fix it, plus it seems 4k OTA channels are all going DRM anyway. This works and it works very well, but the Objective is to integrate Emby into NextPVR (paid for already) and have one less link in the chain.

fixed in next version

Seems to be working fine in my basic tests. Can you please provide an example where it didn't work? How to Report a Problem

In a music library I see "Suggestions", "Albums", "Album Artists", "Artists", "Playlists", "Genres", "Folders". If I don't have any playlists, I see "Suggestions", "Albums", "Album Artists", "Artists", "Genres", "Songs", "Folders". And yes, any ability to customize them would be great. Mine was just a suggestion since it's all very similar data, just additional layers of detail if you look at different categories of artists. Meaning, they are all "artists", but just different types (i.e; groups, composers, people)... Anything to get the key things to be shown in the allowable seven slots would be welcome. Because like this, if you create a single playlist, you lose the ability to shuffle your entire library via the missing "Songs" tab. Thanks for the consideration...

I mean you should usually change that value to what ever user/group you want the docker to run as to avoid permission issues. But if it's working for ya that's fine. Worst case you just change the permissions on the app data folder.

Think I found something else. The run times displayed for each version is the same. It's always the time of the top or first movie. The correct times are displayed in Emby when switching between the two versions.

So this client has the old issue of 7 tab limit as it is now 10 in web client (scrollable on small screens)?

After repairing my movie library, it added the movies. Thanks However, I found another issue when playing

I'd love to see this feature as well. I just created a playlist with every Arrowverse episode in order spanning 7-8 different series. Everytime I come back to it I have to scroll through the list to find the last played episode. It'd be great if the was an option to resume the playlist at the last point.

@Raleblueplease let us know if this helps. Thanks !

HI, we'll look at improving this. Thanks for the feedback.

I've always recommended that people running Emby on any Linux platform should mimic what the bare metal installer does. Create a user emby and group emby (or media, etc.) then grant this user access to the storage volumes/pools/shares/etc that will be used for media. Use this account for all Emby related stuff and you'll avoid access or "cross contamination" problems going forward. If multiple users need to access the media files and directories (like the *arr's) those accounts, if unique, can share a common group - ie: media. ACLs where supported and/or umask settings can insure the group members have the access they need to create and manage the media files. At a minimum create a unique account even if using one for all media and related applications instead of the built-in daemon (2) and nobody (varies). These are meant to be low privilege and unprivileged accounts though it's best practice to have dedicated accounts to isolate applications and services. Escape from one process running as daemon or nobody would still have access to the resources of other processes running as the same user.

Definitely needed. Would be 10/10. Appreciate the hard work!

They are just advising you there is a different app in both the Amazon AND Google app stores. If you search "emb" in the Google Play store (remove the "y") -- you will see there are two apps, one named "Emby for Android" and one named "Emby for Android TV" Try the non-TV version, and see how it compares.

Hi. Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares? Thanks.

@roofuskitThe problem is fixed. I had accidently hit a key on the keyboard and inserted a ";" into the code. The new code is attached below. Thanks again for bringing this problem to my attention. Vic PseudoTV.dll

These look excellent! Thanks so much for this maxigmv! Only missing two to complete my setup: Podcasts Games If you could add these to your next set I'd be extremely grateful.

These are great! To complete my library, any chance to create these? I'm using the white text on dark background currently - Movies 4KDV - Movies Anime - Movies Foreign - TV Foreign - TV Anime Thanks!
