Suit yourself - but I can't see what you gain by this attitude. Paul

Could you allow users to customize the order of movies in collections instead of only having it by alphabetical or by release date? Example: I want to have a collection of Batman movies, both animated and motion pictures but want the motion pictures together followed by all the animated ones. With the current order options, this isn't possible. Thanks!

So I spun up a brand new Ubuntu 24.04.2 VM and did a fresh install of Emby 4.8.11.0, using the same files from the same folder/location as in my real Emby install connected via NFSv4 and mounted in the new VM. No other changes have been made; this is a barebones default installation of Emby 4.8.11.0 created specifically for this test with one single administrator user with full permissions to the files/folders on the network share as well as full access rights to the items in the library. I set up and configured this new instance of Emby and configured my Movies library with each of the Movies folders from my network share. Once Emby finished scanning the library and adding all the files, I was able to see all 3 versions of Godzilla Minus One listed separately in the library, as expected. I multi-selected the items in the library and manually grouped them. All 3 items are selectable from the dropdown, as expected: Then, I added the parental control filter for the tag, like I have in my real Emby environment: Going back to check the entry in the library, I now only see 2 of the items as listed in the dropdown: With the parental controls still applied, if I scroll down the page and split the versions apart, I once again see all 3 different versions listed separately in the library. Since this is a test VM, I updated to the latest 4.9.1.7 BETA of Emby and conducted the same test. This time, after re-applying the parental control filtering, I am thankfully still able to see all three versions listed in the dropdown after grouping the items. So, it appears that whatever is causing my issue in 4.8.11.0 with the movie grouping and parental control filtering is fixed in 4.9.1.7 BETA, at least with a barebones base install. Once 4.9 is actually released I will have to see if I still have this issue in my real Emby installation. I still don't know what is causing the problem, or how to go about fixing it, but at least "wait until 4.9 comes out and upgrade" is a valid solution to the problem for me.

Thank you! I was able to login!

Not sure if there are actually many people using emby that also read a lot of books. However with Ebooks being a hot thing right now this idea popped into my head. I have a lot of ebooks which I generally keep on my normal PC. However this way it has no back-ups cause I only back-up my server to an external location. So I was thinking about switching them to my server and then I thought I can also put them in the emby folder. The request may be a bit out of the ordinary since emby is more for playing files and things rather than reading, but could a reader be implemented at some point in the future? A book library and an implemented reader, specially for mobile devices I guess (phone/tablet), but perhaps for browser/theater? Would help me get rid of yet another app and have all my "media" in the same place Edit: If you liked this also take a look here for ebook expansion https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/80398-book-serverreader-incorporation-suggestion/

As a programmer I can safely say that anything that looks like a bug, always has a logical explanation lol. The thing is that we can't reproduce this issue on new installs so it has to do with something in the database. Wiping these items would be a good start. I don't know if you have an extra PC or laptop on which you can try to reproduce this bug yourself? That'll help us a lot too since we can't reproduce it and you're currently the only one that can.

Would love to see what the Emby team has upcoming in terms of what they are hoping to do with Emby. Like what is @Lukepassionate about to add to the project?

It is this part of the configuration I had posted. The response 444 is a special response code for nginx that closes the connection without a response location / { return 444; } Because it comes after your other rule(s) then if a request does not match an earlier rule it will default to this one and get the desired outcome

Have you tried installing OpenLibrary plugin from the Catalogue?

As mentioned before, the network paths aren't reachable by Emby: \\DREILINGSERVER\Videos\Outbreak\folder.jpg \\DREILINGSERVER\Videos\The Witches\poster.jpg Using your explorer and going to this path directly will probably also trigger a "not found" of some kind. Does this server still exist and is it accesible via the path \\DREILINGSERVER\Videos\. Regardless, as Luke mentioned refreshing the meta should unlink those images if those files have been removed from the server itself.

Let's see if @Abobadercan help

That is the thing about renaming anything is it removes/recreates everything in the database and could suggest the previous path was not removed completely from the db. So the new path imported properly. Just a guess though as it is hard to see everything in the scenario.

Good idea, didn't thought about that. The "UserId" as param seems mandatory. You might update the docu -> https://dev.emby.media/reference/RestAPI/LibraryService/getItemsByIdSimilar.html?q=similar http://192.168.0.207/emby/Items/75092/similar?api_key=XXXXX&UserId=e1f4f9fe335c47ae8524d0d7de19e9ab

That did it, thank you Luke!

Hi, please try refreshing the metadata on those two movies and then see if it goes away for them after that. T hanks.

Hi, thanks for following up !

I've figured it out and feel a fool, but a happy fool! I had been starting the Emby server by simply running "emby-server" in my terminal which was running it as my user account. Needed to run "systemctl start emby-server". Was just too excited to get Emby up and going I suppose. Everything now works properly.

Thanks for the update Luke.

Thanks, I finally found an option under 'Emby Web Settings - General' tab on the settings page. I think that turns it off for everyone. Would it be possible to add a search feature to the settings pages?

Great, I will give that a go and report back tomorrow with my edited script

OK can you try comparing your request to what the web app sends on the movie detail screen?

Hello, Si je peux te donner un conseil, c'est de mieux nommer tes fichiers. Voici par exemple le nommage de "Tracker" chez moi : Dans le dossier "Séries_S_to_Z" (ca c'est mon classement perso), j'ai créé un dossier Tracker - (2024) - [tmdbid=211288] S01 Tracker - S01E01 - web vp9.mkv Tracker - S01E01 - zh264.mkv Tracker - S01E02 - web vp9.mkv S02 Tracker - S02E01 - web vp9.mkv Etc.. Pour Tulsa King, j'ai ce dossier "Tulsa King - (2022) - [tmdbid=153312]" J'ai aussi remarqué qu'il vaut mieux s'abstenir d'utiliser le "x" comme séparateur pour les séries : Préférer "S01E03" à "1x03"... Ca évite quelques déboires... Je n'ai jamais de problèmes d'identification en m'astreignant à ca.

Just to give you guys an update, we are switching to Weblate, and are currently in process of setting it up. Thanks all.

HI, we're looking into this. Thanks.

The database is over 300 GB currently. One solution would be to alter the plugin to work as invite only, but I am still obligated to check ages using the standard they require. Paypal users have to be minimum 18 years old so that's a possibility, make a small contribution via that, as that would be a way to verify the age. I don't have time at the moment to sort this out this month, but it's a possibility.

yes i am not a fan of the changes

Apologies everyone, for the false positive and for my delayed response. We were on the road again so I wasn't able to check this again until today. The issue is resolved after updating the correct Emby server. I'm running two, so when the problem popped up my first thought was to check for updates. I updated my internal one and then continued to check my external one to see if the problem was fixed After updating my external one today to 4.8.11 everything is working as expected. Thank you, for everyones prompt replies and assistance, and for a great product!

If it's a mixed folder with multiple videos then subtitle naming rules apply. Otherwise it can be named anything.

Sames issues here on Fedora 42, basically unusable for me with out the controls when playing. Sad how long this has been.

Yeah I saw this post but there is not news except for the recruitment of testers since last september. How is that project going ?

+1 - there's a bunch of media I have with embedded PGSSUB files that basically completely break my server. The requests to parse PGSSUB and ASS take forever, so users just click play multiple times which in turn causes there to be a bunch of ffpmeg's running causing the server to have a meltdown until all requests are processed. The best "fix" for me would be to be able to disable the selection of internal subs or even better just only allow srt's and such. Also: some movies have WAY too many subs causing UI issues as previously mentioned. Either an "force external subtitles" or a "allow these subs: (multiselect)" would be fine.

Not meaning to hound, I just wanted to ask if there is a ballpark ETA for the new Linux app. I am getting rid of my FireTV sticks (privacy, don't buy American, etc) and I am undecided weather to go with a Linux device or an Android one. I prefer Linux but would love to test drive the new app before buying new hardware. Again, not meaning to pester, just wanting to know when to pencil it in my calendar

Feature request: Roadmap/Development transparency In scrolling through the current feature requests, and having put in a few myself, I'm curious: How many upvotes does a feature request need to get before you guys actually start working on it? Is there a certain number of votes per period of time, or how do you decide what actually gets worked on? I ask because I often see a feature request, and the response is generally something along the lines of: If the Emby Team already agrees with the user, the script goes: Emby team - "It's something we'd like to do in the future, thanks." But no timeline is given. A year goes by and it still hasn't been implemented, so the user asks again, and gets a response similar to: Emby team - "We are working as hard as possible to make everyone as happy as we possibly can. Thanks." User gets frustrated, asks for an ETA, response is like: Emby team - "Hi. We have never stated this feature was slated for any particular release. It is planned for the future but not under active development yet." 2.5 years have gone by for this feature request, with almost 30 upvotes, and active development isn't even on the horizon. If the Emby Team disagrees with the user request, the script goes something like: Emby team - "This is why we think the way we are doing things is right, thanks" Users - "Hey, I see what you are saying, but here are 9 reasons I disagree" Emby team - responds to 1 point of the 9 made to tell the user they are wrong, or that that 1 little point isn't relevant, ignores the other 8 points User - gets frustrated, keeps pushing Emby team - "This thread is here to gauge user interest, we will see how many upvotes it gets and may implement it in the future" Years go by, thread gets upvoted, feature never gets implemented. The highest upvoted feature request right now in the top 20 pages of this forum has 63 requests (not even counting how many similar threads may have been locked for being duplicates), and it's not even under active development at this time, despite being created by a developer and being over 2.5 years old. To get ahead of some of the responses I'm sure I'll get, let me just say: -I absolutely appreciate that Emby exists, and I appreciate and respect the time that goes into its creation and development. I know that developing a program takes time. -Yes, I am a premiere subscriber -No, I'm not just trying to complain about this. I am simply asking for realistic responses that actually have usable substance and transparency. Some actual follow through or a roadmap so that users know if their requests are even being considered for active development, rather than waiting for ages only to be told that the item they thought was getting worked on or had a chance at being worked on isn't anywhere on the horizon. -Yes, I do really love Emby, and I want to see it grow and get better, which is why I have chosen to give you guys my money, and why I recommend it to people. Unfortunately, that doesn't negate my frustration with this current process.

Stop using your consoles for things they were never intended for. Media playback on the PS5 is garbage. Seriously, buy a firestick.
