Perfect, now works as described and as I always thought it should, I allowed "Insecure Content" on "https://emby.media/", so this now opens "http://app.emby.media/#!/home" as below without any intervention. Thanks @seanbuff @LukePerhaps a link on this page to a brief guide on the HTTPS fix as I didn't really understand the issue until reading the other thread ?

Ahhhhh!!!

I am looking to see if a SAML2/OAuth plugin is something others would use. I myself would love this feature to share Emby publicly with family members and friend and worry a little less about insecure passwords that some may use. I personally am a big advocate for security as I work in IT and see how a lack of good security can cause havoc. I love Okta and what it offers. Anyone can sign up and use it for free under 1000 users if you sign up as a Developer. That is just plain awesome. Let's see who else is interested. I am excited to find out! Thanks

I moved from Plex to Emby and even though I think Emby is superior in its flexibility there are some things I like better with Plex, especially in terms of its looks. This theme is trying to fix that by making it a bit more similar to Plex but with some, in my opinion, improvements. The CSS is attached to this post for anyone interested and below are some screens to show it off Good to know I only use Chrome so I can't guarantee this CSS works as expected in other browsers. If you want the sidebar menu to look like in the screens, make sure to pin the sidebar. Watched badge/banderoll is inverted which means that the badge will not be shown if media have been watched, like in Plex. For desired look, please use the "Dark" theme for both Theme & Settings theme in the display settings. Emby-Stable-style-v3.6.txt

Hi, I’d love that audio and subtitles choice would be saved per show, according to what you select on the last episode you watched. The main audio/subtitles parameters is a good point but there are many cases it is not enough and you need to adjust audio and subtitles at the beginning of every episodes. For example i like to watch Casa de Pale in Spanish with french subtitles, The Big Bang Theory in English with french subtitles, French TV shows in french without subtitles, ....

Long Promised — Long Awaited — Finally Here! We are excited to announce the first release of our all-new range of Emby apps, starting today with Windows and Xbox. With a fully redeveloped native foundation, this update delivers improvements across the board: from remote control and gamepad support to background downloading (Windows), as well as refresh and HDR mode switching, and most importantly, enhanced video playback. The new app also comes with a name change from Emby Theater to simply Emby. The name is the only simplification though: On Windows it supersedes and replaces both current apps, "Emby Theater Desktop" and "Emby Theater" from the Windows store, combining the best of both in a single app. It provides enhanced video playback driven by MPV player under the hood, like and even better than "Emby Theater Desktop", and the Download features which were previously available in the Windows store app only. A primary design goal has been to ensure that users of either previous app encounter no drawbacks when moving to the new version. Video Playback (Windows) Video options in the previous ET Desktop app were not always straightforward. The new Emby app adopts a fundamentally different approach to video playback configuration, which accommodates to a range from least to most knowledgeable users by boiling quality options down to three simple and easy understandable presets alongside a custom mode which allows to control all the underlying options in detail. The main presets are: High Quality A no-compromise choice for the best possible quality, regardless of resource usage. Recommended for powerful PCs with high-end GPUs. Video decoding and filtering occur in software for optimal quality, and output scaling uses custom GPU shaders. Balanced The default and recommended choice for most users. Similar to ET Desktop and a standalone MPV player with default settings. Efficiency Mode MPV player is generally focused on quality rather than power saving, and even with the Balanced preset, you can get short of energy rather quickly when running on batteries. This mode is not built-in or available in the regular MPV player. All video operations are fully performed in hardware while scaling at the video output (no shaders/gpu kernels) gets disabled. Too simplistic for you? Enter the Customize mode where you can control all options in detail to find your perfect setup. Video Playback (Xbox) In the new Xbox app, we have a new playback implementation which is based on ffmpeg and takes place of the HTML video playbaback which which had limited codec and format support. By combining ffmpeg decoding with elements from Windows Media capabilities, it combines the best of both worlds: The rich format and codec support from ffmpeg and the built-in hardware acceleration of the Xbox for playing 4k and HDR videos in the best possible way Automatic Refresh and HDR Mode Switching (Windows & Xbox) Refresh rate switching is now as simple as enabling or disabling a single option. The new app can track its window position across multiple monitors and adapt the refresh rate accordingly. On both Windows and Xbox, it can also automatically toggle HDR mode based on the video content and the capabilities of your monitor and graphics hardware. Download Feature (Windows) With the download feature, you can transfer media from your Emby Server to your client device in a suitable format and size, so you can enjoy your media when you're on the road or without an online connection and even automatically synchronize items based on the watched status. The new Windows app implements this with a completely different approach. Instead of periodically polling and running in the background, it uses Windows Push Notifications for server-side activation and the Windows BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer) service for downloads. As a result, the app runs only briefly whenever the server notifies it about newly available items or when BITS reports a completed download. If you don't use this feature, nothing runs in the background at all. Enhanced Support for Remote Control and Gamepad Input (Windows & Xbox) Remote Control support has been extended to cover almost all functions defined in the Windows Media Center remote button schema. For game controllers, mapping has also been expanded to assign functions to all available controls. New options pages provide a reference for button assignments and allow you to test inputs to ensure everything works as intended. Windows Theme (Windows) As a visual highlight, the Windows app features a new and exclusive Windows theme with Mica material background (Win 11) and seamless integration with your Windows desktop appearance, matching theme colors and dark/light switching accordingly. High Contrast Themes (Windows) As part of the Windows theme, the new Emby app also supports the Windows High Contrast settings. Fonts adjust in size and weight for better visibility, and fewer — but thicker—lines are drawn to enhance readability for those who need it.

Emby for LG 1.0.45 has been released. This is largely a bug fix release. Here are the changes: Fix photos not showing in collections Fix top portion of home screen cut off when scrolling down (only on certain models) Increase allowed range of subtitle offset Fix parental rating multi-select filter Fix series status filter

I understand what you mean. We can cache the state of the globalCaptionMode when the app launches. After video playback of an item or queue it will return the state from the cache to the globalCaptionMode. This should be how we did it to begin with. We can accomodate this and apologies it wasn't built that way to begin with.

Thanks @LukeI will check it out right now. Vic

Hi, we are looking into this. Thanks for reporting.

Hi i see the additional info by loading the skin you mentioned. Thank you for answering all the questions Bryan i have bought premiere, do you also have a donate option too I will to donate to help you out.

It would be nice if we could filter every device by user in the Device section: And having user name next to the device in the Access menu:

Thanks man! Did not know about we could add a manual name to them but just having the user name in the device access would bee more handy than having to manually add a name to them.

Problem persisted in 4.9.0.34 as well but is fixed in 4.9.0.35

Not quite because some of that information is advertised to Emby apps so that they can find the server when switching between LAN and WAN connections. Browsers are fine, apps can have issues. Also, HTTP redirects work for browsers but not most apps so there are a few things worth knowing and avoiding when using a reverse proxy.

I figured it out. My venture into managing my media library was years ago now and I've been up to now using Kodi exclusively. I never had to have my tv show seasons in individual folders. My episodes are named very clearly and Emby and Kodi picked them up with no issue. But Emby (makes sense when I think of it) has to have the TV show episodes in seasons if it is going to delete the season. I just put one tv show in season folders and I could delete it. I have a very large library. It will take some thought if I am going to arrange them all into seasons. I still use Kodi at this time so that would affect rescanning all my show when and if I do it. But now I know the issue and am passing on the solution (that probably everyone else knows).

FANTASTIC! Thank you so much.

I would also like the option to prevent Emby from creating chapters.

Thats brilliant, I love it, thank you

Known issue.

Glad to know it's working for you! Is there a benefit to moving it to discussions? Maybe I should just put it in the wiki? I could include the script in the repository if you want to contribute that.

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

@LukeI would like to suggest that you fix this problem in the server rather than in the clients. When you send the session command to start the video, you can just add to it the number of ticks to skip. Just an idea from someone unfamiliar with the side effects, like the difficulties with transcoding, that this idea may involve. Vic

@pünktchensorry I only have the 1.9.2 app still. I haven't received the 1.9.3 app yet for my apple tv devices. I will update here once my TVs receive the update. Thanks for following-up though. I appreciate it.

Hi Bob, so the assumption is that your browser is forcing you to a https login, and you have not setup TLS for your server so it is failing. Is this correct? If there is no HTTPS configured on your server, you could try disabling your browser from redirecting you using the steps outlined here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/123079-unable-to-connect-via-emby-connect/#comment-1296417

I will do that. Thanks for all your help!

I am using a VPN on the NAS. Ive found that Trakt is working again now (the website shows that I've watched shows). Previously I had 2x Emby users connected to the same Trakt account. Since removing that it seems to be working again on just 1x Emby account. That's fine for me.

HI, we work very hard on Emby and we thank you for your support.

It is just a timing issue and only in that app and only in that particular display (Upcoming).

I added help texts in Kodi for each option. I think the wiki is completely outdated. There is also an FAQ thread, which also needs tlc. The default settings are usually good and no need to change. Actually the reason why you see all that is, cause you switched to expert mode in Kodi. Default is basic, and most options are hidden there. "Enable start sync" should be always on. It was edge case user request to disable that. Nobody needs that. De-Duplication is a new feature and was also a user request. A user has multiple Emby servers connected to the plugin and the servers provided the same content. As a result, lots of content had doubles. This function removes the doubles from Kodi. It can also be used on a single server connection, when multiple libraries provides similar content.

Weiß ich, ich möchte nur mögliche Fehlerquellen ausschließen. Ich bin ja kein Entwickler, und könnte mir halt vorstellen, dass dies eines der Probleme sein könnte. Jetzt bleibt mir nur noch die gleiche Frage wie Luke zu stellen. Welche Option zum Wechsel nutzt Du? Sorry für die evtl. blöde Frage. Falls Du Option 1 nutzt, dann müsstest Du Dich verstärkt, mit Logs usw. an Luke wenden.

I am using synology reverse proxy. what is interesting I can watch content from the movie library, just can’t watch from the tv library. I have now resolved the issue by removing and re-adding the library.

Ok, I went ahead and put it back on Pop_OS.

I did the first step: Add the OTA guide for 94112. Don't enable it for any tuner. We don't want this guide to try and match channels based on channel number. But I cannot get to the option to select just 1 channel. Never mind. I found it.

It is evident that the application startup is much slower than the previous version and the web version. As I mentioned before, I am now sharing a video that demonstrates this situation. 19-12-2024_12-11-42.mp4

Synology are plug and play but they are super expensive for what you get. It would be well worth your time to build your own system and learn to use UNRAID, TrueNAS or Open Media Vault.

Look in Scheduled Tasks and you'll see the Backup option that you can manually run.

Ugg....to be honest I really dislike the way Emby is trying to placate Plex users in the name of 'user friendliness' or whatever the reason. The terminology is confusing to begin with - and if you are interested in such things I don't understand why you cannot just use the actual terminology widely accepted in the encoding community. IMHO - if you're going to show the details on the dashboard then show the details. For example if my audio is the only thing that needs to be transcoded then say 'Transcoding Audio' to whatever. People should learn the correct terminology to begin with - not be catered to because 'that's the way Plex does it'.

The Emby team hopes you and yours are enjoying a Happy Holiday Season. We would like to announce a couple of changes that will hopefully increase the value of Emby in all of your households. First, to aid in the transition from our old TV-only Android TV app to the new Standard Android app on that platform, we will be eliminating the need for the app unlock by allowing free playback for up to five TV devices per Emby Server. Devices beyond that limit will require Emby Premiere. Previously purchased unlocks will still be honored. This should allow most households to move to the new app more easily. Second, recognizing that today's households have more and more devices, we are increasing our standard Emby Premiere License device limit from 25 to 30. We will then also increase the extended premiere plans from 45 to 50 and 75 to 80. Existing extended subscriptions will remain the same but new ones will be at these new levels. All standard licenses will be automatically updated to the new 30 device limit immediately. You should see all of these changes rolling out over the next week or so. Happy Holidays from the Emby Team!
