Some flags i use for audio langages... countries_flag_rounded.zip

The point is that the application is made to work with the very specific MPV version that it is being shipped with. @generiq himself has made countless posts which are giving examples for why the Windows app will NOT work properly with other MPV versions. The next major update to the Windows app will ship with the then-latest-version of MPV and be adapted to this specific version. The existing gap here is impatience and the lack of understanding that we are (1) not working continuously on this app and (2) that we are not making risky changes outside of a beta phase, that require intensive work and testing , and (3) that talking up big and ranting loud is not going to change (1) or (2). The shown kind of behavior for trying to force us into taking actions may have seemed to work successfully in the past on a few occasions, but there, it had just coincided with our own goals. I cannot stress enough and want to be very clear, that loudly discrediting our app and talking bad about its video playback capabilities, blowing up details to the max and similar behavior is neither a legitimate nor a successful way to force any kind of actions upon us. But what it will achieve - if continued - is that it will eliminate all interest and willingness to collaborate on MPV integration details during beta phases in the future. This also applies to attempts, trying to force me into discussions by badmouthing and attacking me personally. This is not going to work and this is also the only statement on the subject that I'm going to make. Thanks sw

Thank you for suggestion - I was getting "sudo: password required" error and couldn't find a method to send password to script without getting "terminal required to read password", so I ran it as root user and omitted the sudo The task output is confusing as to whether it ran script or if it was successful BUT system log shows that EmbyServer was successfully stopped and service isn't showing in Task Manager Exactly what I wanted, thanks again

It'd be great if server admins could generate a QR code for a user to scan with their app to connect to a server, without using EmbyConnect.

Similar to this old post, I'm suggesting a tab that would be titled Watchlist and could be placed in between Suggestions and Favorites. The functionality would pretty much be a copy of Favorites, just with a + symbol added next to the heart and other symbols that let you favorite a movie etc. The previous post had mentioned extra functionality such as automatically removing a movie from Watchlist after it has been watched. This would be nice, but is unnecessary because after watching a movie you can simply click the + symbol a second time to remove it from Watchlist. I would imagine this would be very easy to implement as a rebranded copy of Favorites. Adding other features could come later. Edit: added link to old post

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!

Since we can now detect end credits, or manually add them in other cases, it would be nice to see this, rather than an automatic percentage/time remaining, trigger the "next episode" popup and decide whether an episode is resumable or not. Even better if it could expand to movies for the latter point.

Is there plans on the roadmap for OpenID. I have searched but not found any indication this is in development. With many admins taking up SSO through Authelia or Authentik to enhance security it would be great for Emby to support it. One of the easier open standards is OpenID which the aforementioned support. Users could continue to use LDAP if they wish while others can use the arguably better SSO experience.

Si I've figured it out and it's not an Emby issue, sice I tested Jellyfin and got the same problem. Both the Google tv and the tv with CCwGTv are far from the router and when I watched the homescreen for a while I noticed that the WiFi isn't stable and it goes on and of several times so I tried to do a hotspot from the computer where the server is to the TVs and boom the buffering stopped. So now I will continue the hotspot untill I figured out a way to extend my WiFi coverage. Thank you everyone.

Hi, there are changes detected to strm files. You can see it in your screenshot. What would you like the server to do? Should we just ignore the changes and have other users reporting that as a problem?

Yes we need to start parsing the year out of the name. Thanks.

What is the standard as some like there media to show when added/imported and others don't. So Emby has two options. As for the plugin there is absolutely nothing to change in over 6 years when all it does is use the db premiere date and copy it to date added column. But in the end the "Recently Released Movies" row already does exactly what you want.

I should have clarified my response as well, I was rushing and didn't have full coffee yet. http/https as the dropbox. That makes sense. Then, if they select http, the port should fill in to 8096, if they select https, 8920. It's still a writable field, so the user can change it. But the defaults fill in. No need for an advanced checkbox, etc.

Yes, the supported codecs list is pretty basic with no DV, no HD audio, no PGS subtitles etc.. Your TV's user manual will have a list of codecs which will be compatible, anything other than that will need to be converted. Converting codecs with the TV app can sometimes be slow and cause buffering, especially with higher bitrate files. Example chart you would be looking for: https://developer.samsung.com/smarttv/develop/specifications/media-specifications/2025-tv-video-specifications.html Any video with a purple or green hue is most likely DV profile 5 which has no HDR10 layer and thus won't display correctly. As far as HD audio and PGS subtitles I usually keep an alternate audio (AC3 or DD+) and subtitle (SRT) track which I can preselect before clicking play. That way I can enjoy HD audio or PGS subs on other devices whenever supported and then switch these whenever using the Samsung app so that I don't get any transcoding. Main thing is to stay away from DV profile 5 (DV profile 7 or 8 are good and have a HDR10 layer) unless you want to keep two versions of those videos also.

Oops, ya I modified my system so that my admin account doesn't have to enter the password again time in order to do sudo commands. Good to see that it's working for you.

General info: I'm still working on the next plugin version with a couple of fixes. I hope I can release the new version by end of this week.

At least using the roku player, when watching a video and clicking the cog, you get an option to turn repeat on/off... It would be nice to have a repeat ONE/All/NONE option instead of just repeat on/off

Okay even after installing Open Library meta data still can't be found and according to the logs the cause is simple. 2025-07-18 14:07:49.360 Info HttpClient: GET https://openlibrary.org/search.json?fields=isbn,key,cover_edition_key,lending_edition_s,author_key,publish_date,publish_year,title,author_name,cover_i&title=Foundation (1951) This causes a book called Byron and Shelley (Byron Foundation Lecture, 1951.) to be found. Because the word "Foundation" and the word "1951" are both found in the title. Searching without the year: https://openlibrary.org/search.json?fields=isbn,key,cover_edition_key,lending_edition_s,author_key,publish_date,publish_year,title,author_name,cover_i&title=Foundation Immediately returns Foundation (1951): So I changed both the folder and filename to exclude the year and the book is now matched. The same goes for another book. X:\Books\The Great Explosion (1963)\The Great Explosion (1963).epub (no result) https://openlibrary.org/search.json?fields=isbn,key,cover_edition_key,lending_edition_s,author_key,publish_date,publish_year,title,author_name,cover_i&title=The Great Explosion (1963) X:\Books\The Great Explosion (1963)\The Great Explosion.epub (result!) https://openlibrary.org/search.json?fields=isbn,key,cover_edition_key,lending_edition_s,author_key,publish_date,publish_year,title,author_name,cover_i&title=The Great Explosion (1963) X:\Books\The Great Explosion (1963).epub (no result) https://openlibrary.org/search.json?fields=isbn,key,cover_edition_key,lending_edition_s,author_key,publish_date,publish_year,title,author_name,cover_i&title=The Great Explosion (1963) So it seems the naming conventions for Book Naming (https://emby.media/support/articles/Book-Naming.html#:~:text=For books%2C it is recommended,generally yield the best results.) don't really add up - adding the year to the file makes it so Emby basically never finds the item via openlibrary because it adds the year to the title.

Hello, is it possible to implement in Emby Quick Connect option like in Jellyfin or other apps for smart tv's? Sometimes it's difficult to put long passwords on some devices. Regards.

I hate to be that guy, but.... "Are we there yet?" This would be the killer feature that would allow me to use Emby more freely.

something like this html:root { --theme-primary-color-hue: 180!important; --theme-primary-color-saturation: 100%!important; --theme-primary-color-lightness: 25%!important; --theme-accent-text-color-darkbg: #008080!important; --theme-accent-text-color-lightbg: hsl(var(--theme-primary-color-hue), var(--theme-primary-color-saturation), var(--theme-primary-color-lightness))!important; }

That is great news. I'll keep an eye on the beta releases. It's not really related to this feature request but I hope the new login changes will also merge the host and the port when adding a server in the apps. There's not really a reason to have them separate and since I don't use emby connect my users usually get caught up on changing the port to 443.

HI, we are working on a newer and easier login method so stay tuned.

Hi, naming is covered in our movie naming guide: Movie Naming And that results in this:

Hi, Emby Connect is nice but sometimes cause troubles and it's difficult for some users. It will be great to have very easy connection: Just open Emby on smartphone or browser and generate PIN that will put in TV. Regards.

How can I get started with Emby? Check out our Quick Start Guide. Is there an Emby Wiki? Yes Why aren't all the features I want done already? The Emby team is working as hard and as fast as they can to bring you all of the features that you want.

I realize that, and its a really bad way of checking. @Lukehelp me out here...a file representing a title in the library should not be heedlessly re-scanned just because of a timestamp change. My lib with 80000 titles have re-scanned every day for years due to this. Check the path and filename. If its already scanned, why in gods name re-scan it ?
