Hello, Personally, I use cloudflare and I created a custom rule that blocks all requests not coming from my country and when I travel I just add the country I'm going to. It drastically limits attacks

When I click on a person to load their page, it shows me the posters for the movies they were in. Under each poster is the title of the film. What it doesn't have is the name of the character they played. On the movie page, the cast all have pictures below which are two lines: actor name and character name. I'd like to see a similar arrangement on people pages, with the film name and the character name.

You might want to checkout the SUB-KILLER plugin found in the Emby Plugin Catalog. The plugin has a lot of options you can set to control exactly what it will do such as extracting subs, removing subs, specific types of sub to process, forced subs only, etc It can extract only specific languages as well. It has options to process only new media added which should be ideal, once you've processed your libraries in full. It also supports processing only specific libraries as well. I've not tested it, but wonder how it would handle subtitles not marked with a language. Create a test library and set the plugin to only use that library to test with. Once you're satisfied it's working exactly how you want, remove the test library(s) and add your actual libraries for it to process. In theory, this should remove all embedded subs, keeping only those you wish to keep as external. It will also process all new media you add as well. With no embedded subtitles remaining in your library files the overall issue should be resolved (in theory anyway).

No, no one uses DVD to refer to anything but DVD's. That would be like using CD to represent music files..which again no one does.

Never. Move on. The 1990's called and they want their hair back.

Guess use you BR player + avr system to its fullest potential.

For People only you only have TMDB and TVDB that I am aware of as FanArt and OMDB don't have them.

Hi. You feel DVDs (480p) are higher quality than current streaming formats? In any case, there are easy ways to rip your DVDs to a supported format instead of having to save the entire thing as a legacy disc image.

Hi, thank you very much for the answers. I have played several series and films. Some had the problem, some didn't. I played wildly with the settings on the TV and in the Emby app. Now everything works without any problems.

I deployed emby directly under lxc and can see the hardware decoding option normally.

I would also like to see this feature implemented. The subtitling delay works great and would welcome a similar menu item for audio. I have experienced the same as ShogunX once or twice, but more often it happens on Live TV. This would be a feature that could help me stay in Emby full-time and not open Tivimate or an external media player for special circumstances. Its infrequent enough that its not on the top of the list of desired features, but would be a nice quality of life improvement.

@hstamasCan you reproduce the problem?

I tried doing the "play on" from my googled android phone and e/OS degoogled andriod phone and tablet using both firefox and the emby app 3.4.20. I also tried the Samsung browser on the google android samsung galaxy phone. As for my PC I tried using firefox and brave browsers using linux fedora, linux ubuntu, linux mint, and windows 10 from my primary PC. I also tried using firefox on my laptop which is linux fedora and my friends laptop running windows 11 a few days ago. Everything works just fine except the apple tv devices and they all mirror the same results. I can even use "play on" just fine between all those devices, apps & browsers and they function as expected, except when trying to change the content playing on the apple tv from any of those devices.... Edit: I also used the Emby Theater app on my linux PC using several different distros and that is whatever the current flatpak version is.

I found the button issue. I know what happened. The core developers on the Web interface fixed the taskButton library file location issue... finally. LOL. We use to have to add the path for "components" to the taskButton library when defining it.It seems we no longer have to do that... I think. That's nice. EDIT: although that change has happened, it is not the cause for the task button to error.

Guys... don't know what happened but every works for my friends now since yesterday, did not do anything :S ... I guess a glitch with cloudflare ... Thanks for the help from everyone

every cast member with broken placeholder, and i manually refresh metadata, populates perfectly with image and bio !

If you cannot access the router to open ports, then you need to use some tunnelling solution. Tailscale is one that some people use, and a tunnel can be set up through Cloudflare. Search for these solutions in the forum, and you should find a number of threads with advice on setting them up. Paul

Anyone open to reviving this topic? Themes would elevate the experience quite a bit

When this task runs all it does is enable "Vacuum the database on the next Emby Server startup" option under the database tab. A restart is required to actually run the vacuum, which will reset this back to disabled.

This is just a FYI to try for anyone who might see this error. I know this is old but I have had this problem for the last few months. I am not sure on what version it started with but Emby would crash every night at 3am with this error on my Ubuntu server (VM). I tried repairing permissions on my unraid server and that didn't help. I had a cron job running for YEARS to delete emby logs at midnight. I created it when there was a bug and transcoding files were not getting automatically deleted. I also deleted anything in that folder as well. I mean, this was A LONG time ago so I don't know why my problem just started a few months ago. I removed my cron job for deletion of log files and my server hasn't crashed since.

More than you ever wanted to know about host synchronization This applies when initiating playback or when the party host's video player is not where it should be. We use three pieces of data to estimate party attendee positions: Position reported by the client in the latest non-bogus TimeUpdate event The amount of time that has passed since the latest position report The ping When a new update arrives, if the host is too far from estimate we assume that user has seeked to a different position (or the client was delayed for some reason, which is functionally the same because we want to keep everyone in the same position regardless). During synchronization, we track attendee states. I'm going to simplify things here and just say we mainly care about whether each guest is still moving to/loading the new position or has reported that they're ready to continue. We also use custom General Commands to report to every client: If synchronization has started, if each guest is ready to continue, and if synchronization has ended (so they can do UI things). So the overall sequence of events is something like this: Announce synchronization, pause the host and set it to "ready to continue". Set every guest to "loading the new position". Tell every guest to seek/play. For each guest, once they've reported progress/playback, change them to (and announce) "ready to continue". Tell the guest to pause as well. When the last guest is ready, instead of pausing it, we tell everyone else to unpause and announce end of synchronizartion. In practice, events can arrive in any order. Things are also complicated by playback queue video changes. A lot of work was put into making those happen reasonably smoothly; it's even possible for party guests to all arrive at the next video before the host due to estimation inaccuracies and/or the host having slow hardware. Emby Party should hopefully be resilient to attendees being in different videos at the same time around the times videos are changed. Guest catch-up Much simpler. We estimate the guest's intended video position much the same way I described above, but instead of comparing it with itself in the previous iteration, we compare it with the host's. If it's too far off, we send a seek command to the guest and increase the margin of accuracy for that guest (currently by 1 second at a time). This is meant to keep the viewing experience more comfortable if the guest just has crap network acccess, by sacrificing some synchronization in exchange for reducing the amount of seeks. Currently the maximum accuracy tolerance is 7 seconds, so if the guest can't stay within 7 seconds of the host they'll just seek all the time. It resets every video.

To be fair to the devs, this wasn't easy so far. I'd been expecting to publish more than a month ago. I had to solve more than fifty different issues (this is not an exaggeration) with the help of my poor users (ten people) who had to suffer through many unstable sessions. I'm (ab)using the Remote Control features to make this work - in other words, the ability to remotely tell a client to play, stop, pause, unpause and seek, as well as the client reporting to the server that it's playing, paused, unpaused, and its current position (every ten seconds or after seeking). These are native features, but remote control as implemented is heavily client-based, with clients talking to other clients and the server largely just bouncing things around. Things that require client support include: Blocking pause and unpause when the user shouldn't be pausing and unpausing, namely when the user's client is supposed to be waiting for other participants (essential). That's why remote control of non-client-modified sessions introduces potential instability if used. Responding to server ping. Emby Party is a real time feature built on top of an asynchronous server. It pings the client every 30 seconds. Without ping, if the user is having connection troubles or simply closes the tab, everyone else in the party will be subjected to instability (this usually manifests as things not working or going out of sync). The sidebar isn't a standard piece of UI; it requires full DOM access. One thing it has to do is put the rest of the application inside a container so it can be reliably rendered side by side with it. The vanilla web client inserts all kinds of things directly as children of the body HTML tag, so they can't be reliably squeezed aside. There is of course no reason why any of it can't be implemented in any of the other clients but I only had access to the source code of this one.

You have been provided a link:

Thank you so much, I didn't know it was there!!

Seems I got this working

Yes its working now, its callez xyz. Thanks a lot

Hi! Hmm this was a long long time ago, I do not have this issue anymore

It was about the new Emby Windows Beta (different playback impl) and it's resolved already.

Hello! I'm the original author of EmbySonic and I've only started banging on it again this week. Having still recently completed a family move, and with work (and my son's birthday earlier this week) I just haven't had time to really sit down and code. Then again, in my head I'm probably making it a big production, as in I am wanting to get a release out in one sitting when I just need to work on it a little bit a day :) I haven't pushed anything yet but feel free to subscribe to updates for the project: https://github.com/trifleneurotic/EmbySonic In the meantime, I'd welcome someone to fork it if they had more time and better organizational skills than myself :D

Hello! I haven't gotten back to it yet, although - truly - my intent is to do so in the next 2-3 weeks. The massive, overarching reason I haven't gotten back to it is that in the intervening months our family was prepping for a move out of the lower 48 of the USA (including selling our home), and realizing a move to Alaska that we had been planning for years. We made it. It was & is our dream, and we love it here. EmbySonic has never, ever been off my radar though; I had no intention of abandoning the effort. But that being said, I don't want to keep the community waiting if someone wants to fork it. Again, I have not abandoned the effort; our family is - finally - actually living in the Last Frontier (and I am currently sitting at my dining room table in AK with a gorgeous view). Things are calming down after several weeks of establishing ourselves and everything that that entails. Still, I feel apologies are in order for setting expectations that I wasn't able to meet. That is on me, and I'm sorry. So, the news is there is no news except I hope to start work again ASAP (within the next 2-3 weeks). And when that happens, you can bet I will keep this thread updated, unless someone can move at a speedier pace than me

This is great information, thanks! Requested screenshot attached.

True but pretty sure that happened when provider ask us to stop spamming them. So People page was removed entirely.
