Spoke to them and they have given me a static IP, which seems to have solved the same issue on Plex

Can you imagine all that lovely data for Plex to scrape and sell to the highest bidder ...

We'll add HEAD support to system/ping. Thanks.

The macOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network > Emby setting is now remembered after reboots as of macOS 15.0.1 (so the main issue is resolved). If that setting happens to be off, the macOS emby client still gives the No compatible streams message (rather than prompting to enable local network access in macOS). Therefore, whilst the issue of having to continually set the permission after each reboot is resolved, the error message would ideally be replaced with a prompt to enable network access in macOS settings. Thanks.

Hi everyone! I have added my own custom library icons with the names of the different libraries. Therefore, the default title for each of the libraries seems unnecessary and looks redundant. Is there a way to optionally hide these titles from the library categories? If this is not possible, I would like that as a feature request.

Feature Request to add a function in Emby TV to set a storage limit and auto-delete the oldest content to remain within the user defined storage space limit. Same function as WMC and other DVRs.

I have a new version installed on another system to test out GPU usage, etc, I'll check it out there in particular for the notifications!!

I guess that's kind of confusing at the UI. If a client can't use trick pl;ay on a particular file/stream type, would it not be better if we didn't allow those functions in the UI? Could the AndroidTV approach work on more clients, where it can be configured to direct stream, if possible, but switch to transcoding for trick play during playback? This doesn't answer why playback issues occurred for @MBDinoas this was an MKV file that appears to have fully transcoded/remuxed the stream. Carlo PS I'm aware TV's mpeg-2/TS (transport stream) format was designed for linear broadcast in a longtime past era. It can be a hot mess and cause of many compatibility' issues for advanced media servers like Emby, that push the technology far beyond its intended use, especially when trying to support client devices lacking proper functionality for this. It really is a truly amazing feat what Emby has been able achieve with LiveTV streaming, yet a few client/conditions often make for less than a stellar TV functionality despite these achievements. @ebrI was thinking we could resolve many Live TV streaming and trickplay issues if the server were to transform/save/provide HLS segmented stream. This should normally be pretty trivial on server resources and would provide the timing info currently missing for proper trickplay functionality as well as fast resume play. Optionally, we could transcode the stream during transformation to reduce bandwidth and required segment transfers during viewing by the client(s). This could provide numerous benefits like eliminating the need by each client to remux/transcode (not bandwidth related) the stream. The overall performance benefit would be more pronounced, the greater number of clients using the stream. Having the HLS segmented streams available with timing should allow fast resume play, on long duration recordings, regardless of resume watching position due to lack of often required remux/transcoding generally needed to find the resume point in the media. It would be fantastic having 3 or 4 NFL games recording while being able to easily jump between them resuming where you left off. This in fact would be a "game" changing way to watch sports and no doubt help make Emby a "go to" solution for consuming sports. Putting aside the optional transcoding, do you agree, having HLS segmented streams for TV/recordings could help resolve many issues and greatly improve the LiveTV experience?

@Luke , the audio channel plays correctly on the Emby Web Client but does not play on the Samsung TV (Android) client. I tried both "TV" and "Radio" channel types. I get an "Unable to tune to channel at this time" error. Vic

Hi, yes it makes perfect sense. This should have been there from the start. Thanks.

Try this in terminal sudo chown wongjunjin /Users/wongjunjin/.config

Sorry this is taking a while I could not recreate the issue today but I have just remembered the channel effected was recoding last time and would not play on 2 devices at the same time. I should have some extra time tomorrow to attempt to recreate the exact environment. I will document what I do if I can recreate and also upload the logs.

非常感谢！我明天根据这个原因来处理！

There's definitely a code path that uses the audioStreamIndex and subtitleStreamIndex, but I assure you the one I pointed out above, which sends the streamInfo directly to the player and does not make use of audioStreamIndex and subtitleStreamIndex, is the one my client is using when receiving the PlayCommand from my plugin. You're better equipped than I am to know when the client uses that code path, as I don't have access to legible source code. If I use the patch above to copy the playOptions stream indices to the MediaSource defaults, the streams will be correctly set, so the contents of playOptions must be correct. PlayRequest request = new PlayRequest(); request.ItemIds = party.CurrentQueue; //long[] Ids from SessionInfo.NowPlayingQueue request.StartIndex = party.CurrentIndex; //int request.StartPositionTicks = host.PositionTicks; //long request.PlayCommand = playCommand; //Always PlayCommand.PlayNow request.AudioStreamIndex = party.AudioStreamIndex; //Someone else's PlaySession.PlayState.AudioStreamIndex request.SubtitleStreamIndex = party.SubtitleStreamIndex; //Someone else's PlaySession.PlayState.SubtitleStreamIndex ... _sessionManager.SendPlayCommand(null, attendee.Id, request, new System.Threading.CancellationToken());

I had a suspicion this was going to be the answer. For now I can finesse my way around this limitation, I think. There is no need to keep server-side state though. For a future suggestion, remote control commands could include the ID of the controlling session, so it can be included in the reports sent back to the server and duly made available in the SessionManager progress events. The ID can be kept in the client? At least for playback, there's definitely one specific controlling session that originated the playback (or none if it was a local instruction).

Your best bet is to capture all of this while it's happening and also include the relevant emby server log, ffmpeg logs and hardware detection log. The info after restarting Emby showing idle procs and no CPU time on them isn't useful. Start with a clean slate and reboot the server first.

Hello, due to a recent bug (already fixed) on the apple tv app, chapters without thumbnails wouldn't show up. So I let emby generate thumbnails for chapters only. But since I use chapters only to skip openings and endings, I find the thumbnails a bit of a nuisance, because it can potentially spoil some parts. I hate spoilers, even something so small like thumbnails. This is a bigger problem, when the media does not have chapters embedded, because emby will generate one every five minutes and since I have mostly hard subbed stuff it will look like this: https://imgur.com/XIq1mn9 Since the bug has been fixed, I removed all thumbnails, but some users might prefer it with the them being available. So why not make it a toggleable option to hide/show thumbnails per user. Maybe some people might like this too.

@TeredactleNotifications was updated with 4.8.0.0 "Rework Notifications to be an option that each user can configure, rather than server settings" You are like 3 years behind and you don't think its worth updating I suggest you read through all change logs. Before doing you much needed update. If I where you I would do a step by step update, to see how it goes.

Yes I would try disabling this in Radarr and Sonarr. And see if that helps.

ah, what a mess when i read this. Please work with a distribution list, add the people who should get the notifications and add the mail of your distribution list into emby. If emby can't handle multiple addresses with a semicolon use a distribution list. when i read, add the notification multiple times, i get a headache. Almost every mail service can work with distribution lists/groups. I think this would be way more effective than adding the notifications 4x or more

If using these tools, you may have it setup to upgrade media files. If doing this, it could certainly be removing current files/folders and replacing this media with new folders/files. That could certainly mess with your custom collections.

How are your music files tagged? Emby uses tags and embedded images. Check you music files with mp3tag. Also check if this is enabled in you music library.

@TremasI am working on some code right now for @feerlessleadr that may do what you are asking. I hope to be able to show some of this code soon. It is a bulky like program and it does let you explore and pick what you want to add to a channel. On another subject, You can now create channels with audio content. I hope to post the code later today. Vic

@LukeI recreated building a radio channel with audio content and it worked. The unusual thing about it is that it worked both when the channel type was set to "TV" or "Radio". In my first test, when playing the channel failed, I received an error message saying that the played content could not be cast to the required type. I must have made a mistake some where. Luke, thanks for the help. Vic

Hi, yes that would be redundant because that's what the backup plugin backs up.

HI, that would be great. Thanks.

Welcome, feel free to jump in and contribute: http://oshotim.oneskyapp.com/collaboration/

Hi buddy, It could be, the search for big files not always prefect on the core, and due to needed reduce the storage size, sometimes mistake happens. Sorry about that. My best

I got them to replace the firestick as it was too much of a hassle to deal with them complaining.

Hey Abo, did this process happen to impact threads like this one where the attachments have all gone missing? Only a month old. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/131939-movies-end-in-stuck-state/

NICE! Because Emby can use the tuners without the need for NextPVR. Unless you already know Linux I would keep it running Windows. You can read more about MCEBuddy here: https://www.mcebuddy2x.com/ Keeping it running windows would allow using MCEBuddy which is great for cutting commercials.

Hi, Are you sure your ISP isn't using a CG-NAT?

Also, if you could give us the full path/folder you added them to.

The portable version is identical with the version installed by the installer; it's simply that you don't run the installer and get its default location. Paul

Excellent, good to know I did not realise this. Thanks

This is happening on Windows as well, fyi...

FYI 10.x says in the notes that it supports Emby server 4.8 and above. Things have changed somewhat. quickmic has broken the addon out into 4 parts now. With current versions the service addon is now the prerequisite and has to be loaded before the audio, image, and video parts. quickmic I'm sure will be able to add more.

okay last Sunday I was able to test how refreshing the guide made a difference and it did. Thank you!!

Many thanks to @joekingcoolfor perfecting these apps. I've been using them for about 10 months, since the first release, and they work really well. Just wondering if it would be possible to incorporate them into Emby? Maybe this could be modified to allow Emby to restart a failed recording without restarting the server entirely thereby not interfering with other simultaneous recordings that have not failed? Thoughts.... December 2023: here is all apps updated. the monitor now checks for 3 errors. then verifys that no matter what that recording status is set to inprogress so it trys again when emby starts back up. 1. "Media sequence changed unexpectedly" = MSC 2. "maybe the m3u8 list sequence have been wraped" = SHBW 3. "Seek to start failed" = STS the recording cleanup, now refresh's the guide after it starts back up the config file has a few changes, so make sure you update your current config file. let me know if these work or any fail Recording_Monitor.exe 2.91 MB · 1 download Recording_Cleanup.exe 2.9 MB · 1 download Recording_Folder_Cleanup.exe 2.89 MB · 1 download Recording_Joiner.exe 2.89 MB · 1 download config.txt 301 B · 1 download

I restarted the emby server (dms7.2) and apple tv and it worked fine. embyserver.txt

I haven't messed with it in an LXC in awhile, I'll try it again sometime soon.

I`ve just found this in the search

It is triggered weekly per scheduled task Now unless you have messed with the default trigger and how often you actually restart.

Yes

Great idea! I hadn't thought about that. I will spin up something on ProxMox and use that to stage incoming stuff. It shouldn't be too difficult to adjust my process for it, as I already stage it to setup all the metadata anyway. Thanks for the idea!

That username is administrator. I actually tried that and weird things happened on my windows box with the share. Maybe that's a reserved username or something. Any any rate, I got the Emby app on TrueNAS to be able to see my media share. What threw me off at first is that the "browse for media location" didn't work, but typing in the path manually did. Currently scanning my TV Shows folder, which is taking a LONG time (370 shows, some with 20+ seasons). Server is barely breaking a sweat, but I'm guessing Emby going out and fetching all the metadata is what's taken so long:

That's not the problem, the problem is that there are basic features that have been requested by users for more than 4 years and have not yet been implemented.

Good afternoon, Emby community, I'm fairly new to Emby and have been finding the setup process intuitive. However, I've encountered a feature gap that I believe could enhance our user experience significantly: notifications for new podcast episodes. From what I understand, the "Refresh Internet Channels" task includes updating podcast feeds, which is fantastic. Yet, it appears that this doesn't extend to the notification system. As a user keen on staying up-to-date with my favorite podcasts, having the ability to receive notifications when a new episode is added would be incredibly useful. Could we consider integrating podcast updates into Emby's notification system? This feature would undoubtedly make the platform even more valuable for podcast enthusiasts like myself. Thank you for considering this addition!

Don't get your hopes up...going on 6 years and counting: Apple TV isn't a priority for the Emby staff. Also, don't bother asking Luke about it, you'll only get a robotic "we're working on it" response. I think it's actually a bot.

Hello, I have been sharing my media server with many people, what I am noticing though is the "Are You Still Watching?" option seems to control BOTH my files AND my live-tv channels. Is there a way to give an option so "Are You Still Watching?" only displays for the files being played and not on live-tv? This would greatly help because many of my viewers end up falling asleep binge watching one show and i also do not seem to have the CPU power to have many files playing for different viewers at once. But having the option to let my viewers watch live-tv unlimited would help this issue, and also some of my viewers put on my media server but go away from the tv and use it as background noise while doing other things in their homes. Having this option for unlimited live-tv but the "Are You Still Watching?"/episode limit prompt for on-demand content would resolve this and give them more watching freedom and also save my CPU speeds at the same time.
