thanks, worked!

Doesn't setting Display language to English (United Kingdom) achieve that?

Hello everyone, I've released the ACdb.tv plugin (Automated Collections)! It allows you to sync lists from MDBList to create automated collections in Emby. I've previously created a Python script to do the same but wanted to make something that is easily accessible for everyone. Features Dynamic Movie and TV Emby collections synced periodically. Scheduled collections that are only shown during a particular season. Set up your own schedules. See missing items. Once a collection has synced you can check which items of the collections you are missing. Must be Patreon supporter to user this feature. https://acdb.tv/static/img/missing_items.jpg Custom collection ordering. Move newly updated collections to the top of other collections. https://acdb.tv/static/img/collection_sorting.jpg How To Install The plugin is available in the Emby plugin catalog. Check out Getting Started. Cost Free: 3 collections if you click "Join for Free" on the Patreon. $2/month: Add up to 20 collections, include any MDBList, and fully customize your collections. See more on the Patreon page. Work in Progress In beta, it's early days so I'm adding features these days and issues might happen. Please let me know about any issues/feature requests on this thread or the contact page which also has a Discord link. Coming up Next * Custom collection posters. How It Works Any user can add any Collections made by other users to Emby. Collections belong to their creator, so only the creator can edit the containing list, the title & description. Cloning: If you want to edit a collection you don’t own, simply clone it—now it’s yours. (Only Patreon supporters can edit collections.) The plugin checks for modified collections every 2 hours for now (might change). If a collection hasn’t been updated for 24 hours, it still syncs to ensure newly added items in your library are included.

After some research it appears they do this as Emby has a paid (premier) version while Kodi doesn't. As a suggestion, I think it would be a good idea to mention this in https://emby.media/support/articles/Live-TV-NextPVR.html when it is rewritten to better match the current logic. Well, I'm off to donate.

http://localhost:8096/emby/Users/<userguid>/Items?parentId=<parentid>&IncludeItemTypes=Video&IsPlayed=true&api_key=<apikey> Works now, thank you for your help.

And it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help, all's good!

Hi, you'll need to recreate them. We plan to add a path edit feature in future updates but we don't have that yet. Thanks.

Hi, PM the email address she use to register with, thanks.

Finally figured out how to do it. In case anyone else runs into the problem: Plesk actually tries to install the certificate on the VPS it is installed on, not on the emby or zoraxy server. This means, you have to exclude the ".well-known" path from the proxy passing. To do this, just set a second rule in the Apache & nginx Settings of Plesk:

I did run them again withh success So it seemes it works now.

It worked. The issue was deleting the folder needs the right command because the directory is not empty. Perhaps you could add that to the guide.

Hi, I second the motion raised by user24 that user should be gibvven the ability to choose in what order things do appear in Emby/Artist or Emby/Album artist. Personnally, I would like to display albums first.. Personnally, I listen mostly to full albums and not tracks (almost mandatory when you listen to classical music). So I really would like to see this feature added in Emby. Even though I think I will have to wait because from what I see Emby is leaned more towards Movies/Series than towards music alone Regards.

Syncing now. scheduled Task > Trakt > Import playstates from Trakt.tv. Very odd place to put it. I would have thought it would be combined with Trakt options. Found "Import playstates from Trakt.tv" purely by accident.

Welcome to another of Emby's 'how can this possibly take so long' threads...

wait, how?

HI, yes it is.

No problem. Yeah I was on the Roku app beta

I created an account just to reply to this. I had no idea about the reverse proxy on qnap or how it worked, but this saved me soooooooooooooo much time and stress! Thank you so much! This was by far the easiest way to use QNAPs native SSL cert. Now I don't have to worry about manually renewing the ssl cert on Emby every 3 months! Thank you!

Wow...

Just as a point of fact - all of those are centrally-managed services. Emby is YOUR personal server and keeping it that way does require you to take more responsibility for your own service running on your own network. You can not allow Admin access externally if you wish or implement other security measures that will allow it within your security profile. Of course, this is still something we have on our list - it just isn't as simple as what you make it out to be...

Hi, you're running an ancient version. You may want to try installing the latest via USB: https://emby.media/emby-for-samsung-smart-tv.html Hopefully we'll be able to get an update out to the store for your model, although Samsung stops accepting app updates for models older than 4 years so it's hard to guarantee that. We're trying to twist some arms and talk to the right person so that hopefully we can do that.

For those on the beta server, once you've updated to 4.9.0.51, and gotten the trailer plugin update, with the following days after that you'll start to more trailers and higher quality trailers. It is all youtube now. Please note, Emby apps are going to require compatibility updates, so i wouldn't switch to beta solely for this just yet. But if you already happen to run the beta, then please leave feedback in the testing area of the community. Thanks.

Yes, I believe so. The password for your Emby server is stored on your server locally so you do not even need an internet connection to sign in to your server. But everything I have said is subject to being corrected by the deities at Emby. I am an quite old guy and, sometime, my memory correction mechanism fails to supply perfect info. You know how you can walk into a room and forget why you went there? Well, I can walk into a room and forget what room it is.

This works for HD trailers from the trailer button on each media page: Turn on .nfo files in local directories. If you have not had this turned on, you may need to reload the media again to get the .nfo files into the local directories. Find the <trailer>plugin://... line in all .nfo files Replace </trailer> with this at the end of each <trailer> line: ?iv_load_policy=3</trailer> So the trailer lines change from the old version to a new version: Example is 'Mickey 17' (2025) <trailer>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=osYpGSz_0i4</trailer> <trailer>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=tA1s65o_kYM</trailer> <trailer>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=osYpGSz_0i4?iv_load_policy=3</trailer> <trailer>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=tA1s65o_kYM?iv_load_policy=3</trailer> You can do this by finding all the .nfo files. Windows let's you do this using Windows Explorer, search for: *.nfo -"<trailer>". Open all these .nfo files in a good text editor like edit+, or your favorite, full featured, text editor. Step #2 above... search and replace through all the open .nfo files. If you do it correctly, you should be able to change 1000+ media trailers to HD trailers, (if a HD quality trailer is available), with a couple of minutes work. Enjoy.

I'm so onboard with this cause I hate searching setting to have my content search.

What do you call those little thumbnails taken every few seconds of a video that are used for scrubbing through it during playback? Not the poster, but all of those hundreds of little images that show up when you move over the progress bar during playback. I want to ask a follow-up question about them and want to do it using the correct term to avoid confusion with other thumbnails, posters and whatnot. Thanks!

Or they are called "the little pictures inside a bif file." I am sorry but i do not really like most of the names things get called. I'm not saying the naming is wrong or even poor it is just that many times what we call something does not really convey what is meant. In this case I believe "video preview thumbnails" is actually a pretty good name but it is just that so many things get named in such a way that the meaning is lost. It is much like one definition of "poetry": "The art of obscuring meaning with language."

I think, that it's safe to conclude, that my TV's performance is only slightly better than of a regular toasters, so as far as I'm concerned, you guys fixed the issue, and I need to get a new TV in the foreseeable future. You people are awesome to be honest, your work is very much appreciated! Now I feel inclined to buy the Lifetime package Hope that I did not cause yous too much of a headache with this issue! Sincerely, someone who also fixes pesky bugs like this on a daily basis

What have you done? As there are a few topics on this as methods have changed a couple of times. But currently you are not required to edit the html page anymore. div.view-startup-manuallogin { background-image: url(https://imgur.com/eGfYBvk.jpg); } Also depends on which login screen you are talking about also.

Hi ! I would love to be able to add my own sections and be able to sort them in whatever order I want. Add sections with custom titles and filters, with different sorting modes (Randomly is the most important for me). THANKS !

I was able to correct the issue by editing the config/system.xml file on the server. Setting this value from "false" to "true" and restarting the server (no metadata refresh needed). <EnableOriginalTrackTitles>true</EnableOriginalTrackTitles>

Hmmm, yes... Everyone has their own unique & diverse taste in music AND everyone has their own unique & diverse way of viewing and playing it! I have seen quite a few posts where people have asked to either hide Songs or put them below Albums. This is the first time I have come across someone (Tremas) stating a valid case for Songs. (All good - It's not possible to both Like and Disagree with a post at the same time, perhaps ???) What I really like about Emby (so far) is that there is a reasonable amount of flexibility with some page views and, by using the web app and custom CSS, it is possible to hide some elements that I personally don’t use and rearrange others to suit. I'm having fun experimenting at the moment... I also like different music views depending on what I am wanting to access and play... One day I might want to view and carefully select from Albums by Date Added for serious listening of a new acquisition on a high-end music system. Another day I might want to just casually listen to Songs by Random from my whole collection (or perhaps a playlist) on another music set-up. Currently, there are many Sort By options to independently select from for the Albums page and the Songs page. I can therefore have a DIFFERENT view for EACH page and quickly change between them. Presently there is no built-in method to change Sections order on the Album Artist/Artist/Composer pages. While I have managed to make some modifications with CSS, I am not a CSS guru and this SAME view still applies on all 3 pages. For Emby to be even more oriented towards YOUR MEDIA, YOUR WAY, it would ideally be possible to have the option of custom independent section ordering (and hiding) across these three pages (Album Artist/Artist/Composer). Those people that like the present set-up can keep it as is and those that prefer something else can change it. Everyone wins!

I've actually been playing with this - adding those 'rows' as dynamic emby Channels. Proof of concept is working ok - but nowhere near ready for any sort of release. @ebr - This has been 'in the works' for years now - I know you cannot give a date, but is this something that will make it 'this year' or is it still into next year or beyond ? Basically, I don't want to put a lot of effort into a Plugin that will get replaced in the Core ... ? Thanks.

Again, we're planning more of a smart view feature rather than just a Playlist.

It will, but I don't need to know my dad put his password in wrong 5 days ago every time I check dash, and have to scroll down it to see the actual activity on mobile app

Hackers paid Luke not to implement two-factor authentication because of Emby... Why did it take so long - 7 years? It's really a shame that we live in 2025 without 2FA...I applaud Facebook, Instagram, Google, Twitter, etc. have 2FA...

Be aware that almost no developer of closed-source software (Emby) is going to incorporate code that leverages GPL 2/3-licensed code. Any portion of their code that depends on such code would itself need to be opened up (in Emby's case, modifications to dependencies like ffmpeg are open/shared). Further, simply looking at such code itself is legally fraught, as it could be considered a derivative work. In OIDC's case, they provide a reference implementation for .NET (licensed under Apache 2.0, which is far more permissive). Similar implementation details for SAML are available from MS. I'd love to see improvements to security and authentication, but I would not recommend providing references to code that could embroil the developers of a product I depend on (Emby, or otherwise).
