holy moly I think that worked. I just re-did it, and Now I see a server! Well, problem solved for now Thanks a ton!

Thank you for addressing our concerns and fixing the outdated blog date on the homepage. It's fantastic to see our feedback being taken seriously, and your efforts have made a real difference. Thanks again for listening and for all the hard work!

TLDR: So is this about the images or the libraries themselves as there are parental controls issue when yes these are visible but EMPTY in 4.8 per many topic with improvement in 4.9. But as mentioned there is only one image for Genre/Tags/Collections/Libraries that is visible to all users so you the admin have to assign static images if there is images one these dynamic created images. I guess the only way around this would be the server only create images based off the most restricted user. Also don't really see why this topic is in WMC as it is not a client issue.

there was a space before my username in the username field in the plugin config page. Idiot. Sorted but will leave it up just in case it might help someone down the line.

This has been talked about before..leave the 90's behind.

Hey guys! Just letting you know that I am currently working on getting the plugin updated to align with the latest emby server, including repairing draggable functionality etc. Will keep you updated!

I'd really like to have 2 Factor Authentication added to the login screen. It's just this (optional) extra layer of security to help secure the server (which, especially if people use camera uploads) contains pretty private data. There are for every type of programming language quite a few libraries available, so implementation on a server shouldn't be too hard to realise

It is really cool that Emby has the ability to support multiple versions of the same movie. It would be nice to have a setting on the client side to allow the user to set which version should be selected by default. This could be as simple a user-entered string, or it could be a list of detected strings to choose from. It could allow multiple entries and it would choose them in the order entered. On the Kodi side, it would also be nice to get the "Choose the Best Version for Me" option that the Emby app has.

I'd like to see a feature where on a piece of content there was a button to report a playback error or such. I have a lot of content that I haven't watched that friends have requested - if there was a simple button they could click that pings me a message letting me know there's an issue with the file that'd be great.

I recently have been fired from my job so I decided to play with software to perhaps fill the void. My last job of 7 years I was a coder and occasional hacker for the gov and now looking to pair up with a company to perhaps take my stress away and benefit a community looking for something I maybe able to help with. I have been working on a Jellyfin client app with skins included as it is opensource for most common hardware like fire devices android based. Currently I have skins for the following, Netflix, Hulu & Sky UK. So far my Jellyfin app is the exact replica for the three providers I made my skins exactly the same with zero difference. My goal here would be a monthly fee to use my services $5 per month as well comes with a new live tv section that will not ever freeze while watching when I'm done. This will only work on a pc install on 64 bit devices that have 6 gigs of ram and up. Each install for the live tv will turn any 64 bit pc into an Emby app booting directly into Emby with NOTHING ELSE available. (Emby OS) Full Bluetooth with any remote including FireTV remotes.

Let us know how things go. Thanks.

Ok, thank you very much. I think I have now sorted the permissions of the Mounted drives and the file now plays. I’ll try tomorrow with another file on the same drive to see if I can maintain a stable playback and report back. Thanks.

Thanks Luke. I gave up. The VPN on the mac mini was really throwing me. I'm going to install this on a windows server not behind VPN and use the mac mini that is behind the VPN to run qbit/prowlarr/radarr/sonarr as a network drive/shared location. I'll circle back if I still need help.

Nah I'm good, I will release it for free running only for Jellyfin. TC..

Yes thank you, I have successfully configured my Emby server. Another happy customer!

Hi, I think this is a good idea but no movement yet on it.

File creation date. This is a non-issue, I was thrown off by some un-aired episodes that were indexed in the past due to bad data from the provider. It affects the first 6 or 7 shows in the list, so when I looked at the "newest" episode available it had an "added to library" date that was earlier than previous episodes which made it seem like the list wasn't updating properly when in fact it was.

Oh Thanks Grim

Not currently. You can lend your support here:

ChatGPT says I can disable touch on the device which isn't an option since every time I undock I'd have to go back and turn it back on. ChatGPT also pointed to a chrome flag that doesn't exist. The only other solution it gave is to override CSS. That seems like maybe an option but I'm not sure I know enough about the css classes to get it right. I poked around dev tools and at one point found .hiddenScrollX with width set to none which I changed to thin !important; which was ugly but at least I could horizontal scroll. If I put that in the custom css and then use my local ip address instead of app.emby.media I have horizontal scrolling. I'd prefer the default hover horizontal scroll buttons but not sure on the CSS for that. Of course, that's not an option when I'm off net since app.emby.media won't have that custom CSS.

No haven't noticed it in some time.

I finally got it working this am for me. I wiped my token in my profile & saved, restarted Emby server. Checked to be sure it was empty in Trakt for my profile. Uninstalled Trakt plugin, restarted Emby server. Reinstalled Trakt plugin. Went to Trakt for my profile and got a new pin, pasted it in, saved. Loaded up Emby in Chrome played something and Yahoo it worked! Either me or them I don't care as long as it works.

I think the custom report would be really useful. Currently I have to do a CSV export and then run a simple Python script that removes all columns except the ones I need, which is Name, Year, and Height (to give me an idea if it was a DVD rip, Bluray, etc.), and then export to a text file that I can have on my phone. Basically I want a list of what I own so I don't accidentally buy a duplicate when doing a charity shop buy. But there is one small problem that I have noticed. If I have a movie for which I have several version, say I bought the DVD and then the Blu-ray, and so the folder containing that movie contains several versions, the Reports plugin will pick one seemingly at random. So the Height field may be 576 for that movie even though there is also a 1080 version. This is a bit of a problem for my Use Case as I might see the Blu-ray for sale, look it up on the list, think that I only own the DVD, and buy it not realising that I already own the Bluray. The simplest solution might be to have an option in the plugin to list all versions as separate rows. I suppose I could go to the effort of making my Emby server accessible over the Internet so that I can simply browse the movies list, but I don't really want to do that.

from the m3u, the folders are renamed after the m3u is parsed. Ignore happens during the parsing of the m3u.

This works as a workaround

Hi, have you tried going to manage downloads in the app settings?

It turns out that my host system is missing firmwares for the intel GPUs! Installing firmwares solves the issue!

I personally have a TCL Roku TV and I get nothing on my tv. Mind you my adlist is over 1.6 million sites..I did have over 2 million, but I had to de-activate a list as it was blocking my Asus Router which also uses the Trend Micro stuff. I de-activated the list today at 11am, so the numbers are still skewed high. I need to look into why this one list I deactivated made my router go bonkers. I had to whitelist Amazon as blocking it stopped Emby from working on my FireCube..I did have a support post about that last year.

log in where? since you posted a message here (on this forum) that means your emby login works fine. If somebody gave you (or you paid for an illegal entity) you need to contact them directly... ...otherwise see Quick Start as emby provides no media content just the software.

Reinstall fixed it.

Does appear to work. Thanks!

In the next beta, after 4.9 is released.

The delayed Service loading did the trick. Thanks @Neminem Afterwards it is logical, but I did not think of it. You did. I will test a few days with auto shutdown and auto start and report then back. I am happy. RobB

Currently all requests to Trakt are sending back a forbidden response. This is what happened last week to many apps, and several hours later Trakt resolved it on their end.

Whoever runs the show here seems to operate on God time where a 1000 years to us is one day to them except the real God has better customer service and prayers actually work. More like a whole box of salt and then that is being optimistic. They broke the current Live TV last year worse than it was before in February and it still hasn't been fixed.

The changes I mentioned are already in the beta channel by the way.

Installed the latest version of the server software, 4.8.11.0. The problem persists... embyserver.txt

Looks like this will be added/fixed soon, so this thread can probably be closed to keep the discussion in a single thread:

Hello Everyone, I know this is a big ask, but I wanted to put it out there. I genuinely believe this feature would be extremely popular. If you see the merit in it, I'm confident you'll agree with me. Currently, Emby is a server and client-based system that heavily relies on web development, offering new tools and features that are impressive. However, some of us still cherish the classic Media Center with MB 1 and MB2, which is no longer available since Microsoft discontinued Windows Media Center. One of the coolest aspects of MB2 was the ability to create custom skins for clients. The only system that still allows for this is Kodi. But hey, we're not going back, right? My feature request is to have an option to add skins to the Emby client, even if it's limited to a few devices such as Xbox X or Windows PC for now. The idea is to have one or two skins with different presentations, for example, an Emby Client Skin in Netflix style or an Emby Client Skin in Crunchyroll style. This way, users can apply the skin to any client. Now we can make it bit more complicated by adding plugin option in server side and push it to selected devices only or keep it simple and import the skin plugin via direct downloads and install via the client or as exe like we use to do back in the days in MB times Since this is add-ons users always will start with default skin and few selected users can go and get the skin and add it to the client and view their media in a new way form and look if that make sense I truly believe Netflix style or Crunchyroll style skin add-on will be very popular and desired by users. Perhaps a little demo might help, here is Kodi skin for Netflix just to elaborate in my point I hope developers of Emby see merit in this idea and thanks in advance

Yes, that's been my issue all along, no feedback no updates, nothing. We get replies when we ask questions but no progress on the issues. I think we're being BS'd at this point. "We're working on it". This is the response for more than a year.

Come on guys (Emby) this has been over a year and at this point I feel you're just giving us the run a rounds, there's no update unless we ask and we get the same response each time. Address the issue and get it fix please. As mentioned before, some are paying customers.

Hi @Luke I used the default settings when installing it on TrueNas Scale.. it was installed in bridge and that was the screenshot of what i seeing in app.. I could not get this to work for me in-home or remote.. drove me nuts lol.. in the end, i saw the option on the emby app in TrueNas Scale settings to select "host network".. I redeployed the container and it changed over to host. Now everything works as it should be.. my emby app now detects the server in-home and i can access it also from outside my network after passing through the remote port on the network..

Hi, It's great to hear Emby is working for your current needs! I don't know if you have seen the Emby Premiere Feature Matrix or not but it's a great way to quickly view the server feature set as well as additional clients/apps available in side-by-side comparison chart. As you can see Premiere opens up a lot of additional features on the server as well as give you complete access to every Emby client app/interface. https://emby.media/support/articles/Premiere-Feature-Matrix.html For me personally, I love the Cover Art Plugin and wouldn't want to run my system as it allows you to customize the look of movie/shows on your system as well as superimpose information about the media in the graphic as well as add borders to the "box cover" such as DVD, BlueRay, 3D, 4K which auto populate based on the media's resolution. Same with showing "Collection", "Playlist", "People", "Trailer" to the border of things which makes the information much cleaner to view in searches. It just adds a really nice professional look to your system's media automatically once you configure it for your system. If you have or plan on having a nice selection of TV Shows the Intro Skip plugin is awesome to have as it will intelligently skip/forward past the "open credits". It doesn't matter if the show starts out with a minute or two of content then does the show opening/credits either as it's rather smart and very accurate. This is a real time saver when binge watching shows! Do you need it? No, but it sure makes Show watching more enjoyable without having to manually fast forward past those credits. The Backup and Restore Plug-in is a set and forget plugin that you'll forget all about and hope to never need but if you ever have a disk crash or accidentally delete a user (and all their watched status, playlists, configurations, etc), you'll be glad you had this plugin running as you can do a full restore of your system settings or just individual things such as a user. This isn't a "disk backup" as you might think of when you hear "backup" but a specific backup of all critical Emby configuration and user settings and of course the database itself. Being able to quickly find and download a subtitle for something you are currently watching is really cool. I can't tell you how many times I've been into a movie 15 to 30 minutes and there will be dialog used in a different language that's part of a scene. You may be able to guess/decipher what the dialog was based on surrounding scenes but being able to quickly grab a subtitle file while watching the movie is grand. No need to mis out on the foreign dialog this way. Again, it's not a must have, but it's just another simple improvement to your system that Emby Premiere includes that really ads to your viewing pleasure and making your system seem a notch above other viewing platforms. There are lots of these little improvements that you can setup and customize to give you that big theater experience such as Cinema Intros (like watching movie trailers before the main event), Theme Songs and Videos that can play the theme song for a show when you enter the show or bringing up a movie such as Top Gun or any of the Mission Impossible movies and hearing the trade mark movie sound clip. Same with Theme Videos which uses a movie video theme clip vs the normal static backdrop you would normally have. Lyrics display is awesome to have if you have music library as you can view the lyrics of the song scrolled as you listen to your music. Webhooks is Nerd's best friend if you like to be notified of things going on with your system. IE Joe just logged in and started playing Big Bang Theory, or your son/daughter started watching something when they should be doing homework or sleeping. Webhooks are also great to use to get this kind of information and lots more sent from Emby into other platforms that support webhooks or automation of 3rd party info such as Home Assistant Dashboards you might use for monitoring devices and systems around the house. Along similar lines easy home automation integration with Alexa and Google Home opens up quite a lot of additional functionality as it allows to you voice control your Emby Client which could be the Alexa device such as an Echo playing back music or a Google Home device playing back your much or videos. But it's not limited to just those devices as you can tell Alexa or GH to playback content on another device or FF, RW, pause, change volume on another device you use for playback. It's nice to be able to do simple things like this with your voice instead of having to find/pickup the remote, especially when it's dark or a person sitting in a different chair across the room has the remote. I didn't even mention the "power features" many people purchase Premiere for such as hardware transcoding, media conversions, HDR Tone mapping to allow you to watch 4K media or 1080 or less displays when transcoding or Live TV/DVR as well as full TV Guide info (EPG). These "power features" along can dictate if you require Premiere or not but it's many of the other features, I mentioned that I think are really nice to have to really customize your system and make it YOUR SYSTEM. And last but not least of course is that a Premiere subscription helps support the Emby team and all the services that Emby makes available to everyone. PS you don't have to jump straight to a lifetime purchase. You can always get a $4.99 monthly subscription to unlock everything and try out all the features first-hand. After testing it out on your own time just cancel the monthly subscription and purchase the lifetime or go back to running without Emby Premiere. Either way, it's a great way to test the waters on your own system. All the Best, Carlo

You should look into jellyseerr for this. Fallenbagel/jellyseerr: Fork of overseerr for jellyfin support (github.com) Its a fork of Overseerr Jelleyseerr is quiet easy to use. Same login as Emby user, if you connect them. Users can report problems, with the right permissions. I use this with my mom, she sleeps all day, and watch her tv at night. I do not wan't her to call me a 02:00, because of some subtitle sync issue. And then you as an admin can review reports.

@AllesMeins @hoopsdavisThanks - as part of Cinema Intro makes sense. Luckily I aquire my own Trailers so never really seen an issue with this but 480p trailers on a 4K screen must be painful to watch ... You'd think studios would want people to see the trailers .. but I guess it's the cost of hosting and the bandwidth plus a lot of sponsorship deals I guess .. all about the money ..

FWIW, this is what Plex uses for their trailers & other metadata (from IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes etc.): https://www.fabricdata.com/origin That said, it's quite pricey and has a very low rate limit 5 requests per second so probably will need to be behind an aggressive cache like Cloudflare. Pricing: https://www.fabricdata.com/corporate/pricing

Hi guys, having low quality trailer for months has gotten to be a bit annoying. What are you doing to remedy this issue? Watching trailers from youtube shows the HD quality, this only appears to be happening via emby. Can we please get an update I don't see the point of continuing to pay for Emby Premiere if we're not getting all features at full quality. Please let us know what's being done to remedy this issue as well as when we should see the trailer quality improve. Thanks
