Problem solved. The WAN IP Address for my local network has changed. Once I update the Cloudflare DNS "A" Record IP Address, my remote access started working again. Naive question: Why is my WAN IP Address changing and is there a way to prevent this? Thank you

Also, It would be cool if we have various m3u lists and have the option to choose/assign each m3u list for each user.. Example. In user settings we can choose which library to give them for VOD so this shouldnt be hard enough to do it for live tv too no? USER 1 - Playlist 1 - Playlist 2 - Playlist 3 USER 2 - Playlist 3 USER 3 - Playlist 1 - Playlist 3 Etc etc.... *** Delete this message from another topic I opened because I posted it by accident there

I don't know who needs to see this, but if you are using firefox and experiencing these issues of when watching Live TV that your stream starts to freeze and stutter after a little bit I have had great success by changing some of the firefox config. Go to about:config Search for gfx.webrender.compositor and set it to false. For some reason this seems to have fixed my LiveTV stuttering issues in Firefox at least.

You need to ask the ISP if you can use your own router - and then get one/make one that supports the fiber and has suitable ethernet/lan ports (2.5Gb, 10Gb etc)

Otherwise you can sign up for a Dynamic DNS. You need a provider. How it works is you get a DDNS address like mynet.ddns.net. You have a pc or device on your network that updates your ddns provider with your current WAN address regularly so if it changes, the address associated with mynet.ddns.net is automatically updated. You connect through your DDNS address - and even if your WanIP changes, DDNS gets updated with the new address and you just connect. I got it because first off its easier to remember my DDNS address than my WanIP address. Secondly - my ISP rotates my Wan address regularly, and with my address being updated constantly - I just connect without having to change configuration or worry that my address has changed.

And? So? Therefore? You need to provide a LOT more detail before anyone can help you and, probably, you need to read the documentation including the "Quick start guide" for Emby to understand how it works. Also the iPhone is a client and you must have an Emby server running to use most of Emby's features.

Hi. Unfortunately, Amazon discontinued the program they had that made it possible for us to provide those.

Upgraded ubuntu to 24.04 and that seems to have reinstalled drivers and fixed my issue

Wauw…”The Spirit is moving”… Despite my ageing I still love to learn, so I am eager to see what you come up with GreyT

On Freeview HD its AAC 5.1 not Dolby Digital 5.1 like it once was some years ago, when programmes are transmitted with 5.1. Programmes seem to fluctuate between AAC and AAC_LATM for Stereo too.

It's always a good idea to back up things! I agree with Luke and would not reset the NAS if the folders could be removed to allow a clean install. I wrote a script to run in task scheduler that will remove the Emby files and folders, but I'm uncomfortable releasing it. It might work perfectly at present but there's no way to know if it would still be safe to use a year from now. I've got a much safer and more useful method we can do. I'll put that together and test it a few times. This will do something similar by creating a "bind mount" of the folders. Not a copy but a second location on disk that the files and folders will be part of. You'll be able to see it and delete it right from the web GUI using file station. Carlo

Because you are transcoding in software and not hardware. From logs: >>>>>> Processing Plan Name CanDoInHW WillDoInHW Reason Automatic software decoder >> False False Software Codec VideoInput >> False False Not a hardware decoder Scaling >> False False ToneMapping (when possible) >> False False VideoOutput >> False False Not a hardware encoder x264 >> False False Software Codec -- When changing the quality of a video transcoding is needed, it's a _VERY_ resource heavy operation hence why you are seeing 100% CPU usage. You can offload that work to a graphics card (GPU) which has video processing made to work with these operations making it very less resource heavy. You need a capable graphics card or CPU with built in graphics and have it setup properly in the Emby server (and docker if used) to utilize transcoding. Lastly Emby premier is needed to be able to transcode as far as i know. You can also for the most part avoid transcoding (depending on what your playback device suppoorts) by setting playback quality to highest in your Emby client, the program/browser used to view video with and then the video will be sent from server to client without having to be changed.

When it comes to media server solutions, we believe that Emby is the number one product for users who value privacy, customization, and reliability. Today, we're going to take a closer look at some of Emby’s key strengths that make it an ideal choice over other media server solutions. 1. Prioritizing Privacy and Security Security is a central part of Emby’s design. Unlike some media server alternatives that have limited security options, Emby gives users control over who can access their media and how they access it. With Emby, you can setup secure HTTPS connections, ensuring data is encrypted as it’s transmitted or easily set up access via a reverse proxy amongst other options. User permissions are also straightforward to manage, giving you full authority to create individual access levels for each user in your household or server network. Your media is yours, and Emby ensures it stays that way by giving you the ability to implement strong encryption options that protect against unauthorized access. 2.

Emby is accessible to both beginners and advanced users, with step-by-step guidance to get you started and powerful customization options available for those who want to tailor their media experience further.

There are so many ways in which Emby simplifies user management and access to make it easier and more secure for your users! Other media servers can be clunky and involve multiple steps to perform basic tasks, but Emby simplifies this with a unified interface that makes media organization and management easy. 3. Seamless and Efficient Transcoding As mentioned in our previous blog, transcoding is a key feature for media server users, and Emby’s transcoding engine is optimized to handle media formats and devices with impressive efficiency. Whether you're streaming a 4K movie, using HDR tone mapping, or watching a video on a low-bandwidth connection, Emby has the ability to dynamically adapt to your network and hardware capabilities, delivering smooth playback across devices without unnecessary buffering or interruptions. Emby can also utilize hardware acceleration (Emby Premiere only), ensuring that high-resolution content plays seamlessly without consuming excessive CPU resources. This is particularly helpful if you have multiple users streaming from the server simultaneously, as Emby ensures each session gets the best possible quality. 4. Comprehensive Library Management Emby’s library management capabilities are designed to provide the best possible organization and personalization options. With Emby, you can create custom collections, tag media, and even use rich metadata that automatically pulls in posters, descriptions, and trailers to enhance your experience. The smart playlists and customizable views allow users to organize their media in a way that feels personal and unique. For those who have extensive media libraries, Emby also makes finding and managing content effortless. Search filters and sorting options let you locate titles instantly, and Emby’s advanced metadata scraping ensures your library looks how you want it to. 5.

Thanks! Do you have documentation on the upcoming changes to the notification API? For now, I'll drop the DLL here for testing. (I'm on 4.7.14.0 right now, I can't be sure about it working on earlier versions) ntfy-notifications.zip

Hi Guys, I recently moved from Kodi with MySQL for lack of proper multi user management and server side support, I have to say I'm impressed with Emby. Together with the Kodi Plugin it really takes the solution to a whole new level, count me in among the supporters! One feature I would like to see is the ability to recommend movies or shows to other users: I share my Library with close friends and family but it is a big library so they are always calling me to recommend them a movie to watch. It would be really cool if after watching a movie I can click a Recommend button and choose the users I think would like the movie, then it is displayed on their suggested movies at the top with the name of the user who recommended it... Sorry if there is something like this is already there, I am new to the interface and don't fully know it but could not find such feature... Thanks!
