I've created some CSS for the Web App, originally made for Jellyfin and ported over to Emby. Not everything survived, but here's the scavenged stuff. 1. Home Screen I've started working on the fonts to give it a more classic and timeless look, while using fonts which look good and provide my glyph needs. I love cinema, thus these fonts hopefully capture the spirit of classic cinema (designer talk Fonts used in this screenshot: Bangers and Limelight for the headlines, Jost for the rest. Also Special Elite as monotype and Satisfy for handwritings. Custom logo, some paragraphs shortened to 70 characters per line for better readability. 2. Cast & Crew WIP. I wanted it to look like autograph cards. Also works with multi-lines, see Red Mist. 3. Chapter Section Most work was done here. Adds a film strip view with animation. Includes scaling on hover, with flickering and scratches. Known issues: 'Continue watching' also scales and glows Haven't looked at the home video section yet Put both CSS files in the same folder and adjust your paths. Look for YOUR_SERVER_ADDRESS_HERE and adapt it to your likings. The fonts used can be downloaded or imported from Google, see links above. Feedback and new code welcome. embyThemeFonts.css embyTheme.css

This is currently for testing purposes only - use at your own risk Use on a test library before even attempting to use on your main server. Plugin For Albums in their own folders ! Emby doesnt seem to be able to do this correctly , every track gets the first ones scanned embedded image. Unless i am doing it wrong. ?? But doing it this way it makes absolutely no difference what the embeded images are or what emby does or doesnt do, you are in control. Use it with realtime scanning then you dont have to mess with embys metadata editor, only to loose all the settings if i have to redo anything. You can drop an artist image in the folder or a track Image (I use singles cover images for the tracks- i like them that way) and it just adds it when RTM picks up a change, or a refresh metadata happens. So the EXAMPLE album cover is the 1977 one but the track covers are all different Its a local Metadata Reader , so it scans the local directory when any metadata refresh happens or library scan happens. Set settings in Library Edit screen. It doesnt use embeded images, it looks for an image with the same name as the track name I dont think I ever publically posted it before??? - probably because I never officially finished it! I cannot remember but I think they can be in subfolders too. Anyway it scans the local directories for song track covers, album covers and artist images. - nothing embeded! (supports jpg/gif/png/bmp/webp/tiff) Album covers will be Poster.jpg Cover.jpg Front.jpg folder.jpg 1.jpg 0.jpg f.jpg filename-front.jpg filename-poster.jpg R-xxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg // this one is for directly downloaded discogs R- filename images Artists are the same but name can be hyponated, underscored etc, probably can be in a sub folder. Rod Stewart.jpg Rod-Stewart.jpg Rod_Stewart.jpg Song Tracks Must be the same as the mp3 filename, but with a different extension Album cover backdrops are also supported by the plugin *-backdrop*.jpg *-background*.jpg *-landscape*.jpg *-fanart*.jpg backdrop*.jpg background*.jpg landscape*.jpg fanart*.jpg As it assigns the local image, beware that if you remove the image in emby it will probably remove the image from the drive (I cannot exactly remember if it does or not). I know it just returns a result to emby, so it probably depends on your settings within emby. if you are on windows and want to extract your embeded album art you can create a batch file and use ffmpeg (copy them both to the album directory and run it) Batch file contents - for jpg extract from mp3s for %%f in (*.mp3) do ffmpeg.exe -i "%%f" -an -vcodec copy "%%~nf.jpg" Anyway you are welcome to try it (as always with my plugins - try at your own risk) If you do try it, create a test library first becuase I have not tested the Album backdrops work correctly! - they should... Still to do... whenever I can be bothered. Make a config screen so you can dissable the logging - sorry its just on for now! LocalAlbumCoverImporter.zip Fixed Artist Import Throwing Errors into Emby Main log, and now only scans the current directory (test code was looking in all directories that the artist existed on tracks) LocalAlbumCoverImporter-12.09.2024.zip

From reading back through all the previous posts, I think you are being asked to send the problem WAV files direct to @Happy2Play for testing. Any other files you have generated in the relevant Album folders may also be helpful (I'm not 100% sure on this). These would be the KENMORE CLASSIC and ux.exe Album files being discussed. Don't just send them as downloaded direct from Bandcamp. Send the ones from your library folder that you have already run through a tagging program (e.g. Picard, Mp3tag) or any other software conversions. If the problems can then be replicated using your specific files, perhaps they can be fixed? If not, the problems may be specific to your computer hardware/software setup?

Isn't ketchup precisely the same as "tomato jam"?

Just tested audio playback and everything is working.

30 sec delay? Mine is about 17 sec for a 4k remux to start. That was the synology kb i used to play with the settings. Joy! Yup that is what i have now. Ja, but it is still the better app experience. My mouth dropped open when my remux files actually played.

New PUBLIC TESTING version available 11.0.6: Delta changelog 11.0.5 -> 11.0.6 fix guest stars fix audio playback

Is there a possibility to use CoverArt to add the language to the displayed cover (like the subtitle language) As a bonus with an option only to display it if it does not match a configurable default language, e.g. selecting "german" as my default, then only displaying the icons if german is not included (i.e. foreign languages)

Just a reminder to all members that there's Forum Rules & Info link at the footer of each forum page. We thank (and expect) everyone to adhere to those. They will be re-posted here as a refresher, for a limited time. Thanks.

Looks like the 64-bit version but still dependent on the DSM version you have installed. x64 (Ryzen R1780B) 3.5 Ghz

It is available on that device, you just need to be running the correct app which it is implemented in. There are currently two different Emby apps available for the Shield. You have already stated you are running the standard Android app, as per Happy's screens above, you will find this feature in the 'Emby for Android TV' app.

It is not a feature currently implemented in the Universal Android app, regardless of the device it's running on. You can download AndroidTV app on your Shield and have that feature now - or follow below topic to check when will item 56 be implemented.

Phrasing in the KB article might be somewhat ambiguous - you don't create a folder, you create a file named .ignore within folder you want excluded. Maybe some punctuations or rephrasing would make it more clear: "To exclude a folder from the library scan, place a file (inside the folder) named .ignore" Or "To exclude a folder from the library scan, place a file named .ignore inside the folder." @sa2000

I finally figured it out! I set max smb protocol to smb3 and min to smb2 on my synology nas (they already were but i wanted to verify it). But what did the trick were the switches Enable Opportunistic Locking and Enable SMB durable handles. After enabling these, now everything plays. Finally! I just tried this on shield number two and it too is playing files now. @FrostByte @rbjtech

Isn't that Zork?

Is there any way to get episodes cast to sync where the role is "Guest star"? They don't seem to be appearing in Kodi. Thanks!

Or, maybe, simpler: The CMD way: fsutil file createnew .ignore 0 The PowerShell way: new-item .ignore

I just had this issue and went to the vpn app and change location and that worked. Tom

I disabled durable handles and it all still works but file playback starts at about 9 seconds now so that is an improvement.

Ok, I think my error was just a user mistake, but your extra debug output in the help , helped pinpoint me the problem root@Tower:/mnt/user/appdata/MDBList-Collection-Creator# python app.py Error occurred while getting Emby system info, check your configuration. Check your Emby url and port, user ID and API key: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='example.com', port=8096): Max retries exceeded with url: /emby/System/Info (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x150a9fcb3f80>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable')) root@Tower:/mnt/user/appdata/MDBList-Collection-Creator# root@Tower:/mnt/user/appdata/MDBList-Collection-Creator# python app.py Collection Popular movies of the week does not exist. Will create it. Basically it told there Emby userID , and I filled in the config just the username, not the ID. And sure, in the config file it's clearly written, but I still skipped it, and the error message the new version gave, was great and solved my issue! Thank you!

Got it, not a good option here, hopefully this could be added in a future release....

I think you may be waiting a while ..

@brezlordThis is exactly what I meant and what I am waiting for since years, unfortuantly. I hope @Lukeyou will integrate this feature

People who come here from that website that sells Embyshares needs to get banned. Anytime someone says they are using "Jupiter" or "Neptune" server should equal an immediate ban. Time for playing games is over. Their customers not ours. Get rid of them. People who defend this behavior should also get warnings and banned. Respect the service or do not use it.

OK, I thought your connection to Emby Api was not working but seems good! I just updated the script to give better errors for your case. Could you give it a shot and report back? If you have a Github account I would appreciate it if you post over there https://github.com/jonjonsson/Emby-MDBList-Collection-Creator/issues

Ah ok thanks. Now its working and the latest saved movies are shown.

Edit Metadata of desired item>scroll all the way down>select desired language under Preferred metadata download language>Save>three-dot menu Refresh Metadata with Replace all.

Select Edit Metadata on any given show or movie and scroll down to the bottom an apply the lanaguage you wish for that media, hit save and refresh metadata on the media.

Exactly! Transcoding requires a lot of compute power, but storing the results is not that performance critical that it would need a RAM disk. Not even an SSD. Even more when looking out for using TVnext. It can write loads of data to transcoding-temp (for time-shift buffer and when working with full transponder data), so there's a requirement for storage space but not storage performance.

Got it. I finally reinstalled the server and created a library on an empty folder and will move items as needed. So far it's working. We'll see when the library grows.

You're checking settings server-side - you need to cheek them client-side, i.e. in your LG TV app Playback settings (and/or OSD cog menu during playback), change Quality from "Auto" (or whatever the quality currently is set to, might be 6 Mbps?) to some fixed numeric value high enough that your network can handle (based on your BttF III screenshot, at least >8 Mbps).

Even low end SATA SSDs that are kept trimmed should easily handle the IOPS and read/write data rates involved in transcoding and streaming media.

btw - to create an empty file from the windows command prompt - copy con .ignore then press enter and CTRL Z This will then write a zero byte empty file called .ignore

How sad - you finally get it to work, and then the only app that supports the direct path is to be terminated.

Well those providers in the past have asked us not to do it.

HI, yes please follow that other topic. We are looking into it. Thanks.

Please don't make multiple topics. As dev already asked for specifics via the other topic.

Not recommended but.. It works. As i don't want my transcoding to go to the disks my server normally uses for cache or to the array i don't really have any other choice than to transcode to memory. It works perfectly fine for now, i got plenty of memory and till i find a scratch disk, only once i have lying around are crappy QLC sata SSDs that are not fit for anything that requires any writing.

Our experience so far has been good. We are using a remote server located in a different country! I wouldn't mind if it delayed the start of the video until it received the fonts but I don't think it does that. I don't think the sync suffers though. It wouldn't make sense for them to implement it like that.

There are at least five options you could experiment with, beyond single retagging everything as one 'incorrect' group Artist/Album Artist: Collections Tags Dual Artist tags in the Artist field only (e.g.: 'Correct' Artist; 'Group' Artist) Dual Album Artist tags in the Album Artist field only (e.g.: 'Correct' Album Artist; 'Group' Album Artist) Both Dual Album Artist and Dual Artist Each method has its own pros and cons. With the dual tag/field options, you should still only end up with one version of the songs. Dual tagging could also give some differences in the Appears On and Morel Like This sections. (There are probably other single/dual/multi methods as well?) You may also get very good cross-referencing from various views/pages by using more than just one method. (e.g Tags plus Dual Album Artist). The multi-field/tag flexibility of Emby is therefore something to perhaps consider? Of course the best option is the one that works the best for you!

My recollection is that I put it in the switched outlet for a reason. Something with was not working right when I had it plugged into a regular outlet. I don't remember what it was. It was something like the Roku was never actually going to sleep, or the TV wouldn't turn off, or maybe it was something odd with the receiver. I don't want to mess with it again since it works as-is. Updates work fine. They are checked for at startup. Worst case, you get an update downloaded but it doesn't install until next restart.

Hi. Important to understand that is conversions, not transcoding - two very different things. This thread is about transcoding. Conversions would be much easier to get done.

Hi, stay tuned. Smart playlists will be one of the focal points of the Emby Server 4.9 release, so this feature will ultimately be built in.

I ended up buying infuse pro as well. It would be nice if emby could get this fixed though. Apple TV seems to be the best player out there hardware wise.

Ok, I found out what was missing. For anyone having the same issue and wondering why this happens: There are 2 Artist fields in the Metadata. Artists and Album artists. In my case the "album artists" was empty. So I tried setting this manually. After updating this field and rescanning metadata, the audio book finally appears as an album/book. For the linux users a quick command to do so: for x in *.mp3; do id3v2 --TPE2 'George R.R. Martin; Elio M. Garcia Jr.; Linda Antonsson' $x; done --TPE2 is the fieldname for album artist. And you can use id3v2 cli to update this field.

Yes if the path exists you may need to copy all metadata back to default location or you may just as many errors as the info the server is looking for is no longer there and run the metadata folder scan task. But your server log should be a good indicator for this.

Hi people, August revision with requested icons. Enjoy EMBY_MAXIGMV_ICONS_DILIGENT_VARIABLES_2024_08_25.zip

I have recently moved from Plex to Emby. The biggest thing that Plex does that Emby does not is gapless audio play back of music. I listen to a lot of electronic music and they are usually continuous mixes broken in to tracks on a CD. Plex does handle gapless audio by pre-downloading the next track before the current track has finished. They have a sperate app called Plex amp which you can specify the number of tracks to predownload. A feature like this would be great in the emby client apps. At this stage I will continue to use Plex for music. For my use case Emby is less than Ideal. I like almost everything else about Emby. Is gapless playback every going to happen in Emby apps? Is it even on the radar of the devs? Images of plex settings attached for and idea of whats needed.

For me it's the premise of a 100% guarantee to burn compute/GPU cycles to change the videos I want in to save disk space and skipping on-the-fly transcoding in exchange for those rare situations where I need something at a lower bitrate and might not have the required resources to do on-the-fly transcoding down the road...I'd rather save the compute cycles, buy more storage, and trust that hardware transcoding will be there if I need it.
