Hello! So i have started a project for making an Emby client app that can run on Enigma2/Linux based STBs. Its written in pure python. Those STBs are mainly made for DVB perception, but also is possible to play media on them. Mainly they support by hardware H264 and H265 codecs. All the rest (except the newest high efficient codecs) plays fine by software. I am in the beginning of the project. Try to comply with the new Emby clients UI design guidelines and expectations, but also put my own twist to some places. Currently the only ready screen is the home.... Here is a preview...

I have one of these Tablo Dual Lite OTA tuners that has great TV reception but is not supported by Emby. Recently I did some searching on the web and found this utility https://github.com/tmm1/tablo-for-channels which exposes a simple m3u playlist for the tuners on a Tablo device. My setup is Emby running on Debian Linux (Openmediavault v7.7.13) with "tablo-for-channels" runing in a docker container. FYI, this utility is only for a gen 3 or older devices. It will NOT work for the new round white Tablo gen 4 OTA devices. Steps to set up tablo-for-channels for Linux. Requires git and Go " https://go.dev/doc/install " 1. Install tablo-for-channels... $ git clone https://github.com/tmm1/tablo-for-channels $ cd tablo-for-channels $ go build 2. Setup docker container (substitue x.x.x.x with the IP address of your Tablo device in the command)... docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name tablo-for-channels -e TABLO_IP=x.x.x.x -p 8050:80 tmm1/tablo-for-channels 3. Get the m3u playlist from the Tablo device. Either from terminal or web browser. a) From a terminal (use the IP address of your docker server) $ curl 192.168.0.1:8080/playlist.m3u #EXTINF:-1 channel-id="KEYT-HD" tvg-chno="3.1",KEYT-HD http://192.168.0.1:8080/watch/12 #EXTINF:-1 channel-id="CBS" tvg-chno="3.2",CBS http://192.168.0.1:8080/watch/13 #EXTINF:-1 channel-id="NOW" tvg-chno="3.3",NOW http://192.168.0.1:8080/watch/14 b) From a browser (use the IP address of your docker server). http://192.168.0.1:8050 you shoud see a web page like this. Then click on the Playlist link. After retrieving the playlist, import the playlist.m3u file into Emby as a new M3U TV source. These steps are also found on the website https://github.com/tmm1/tablo-for-channels Hope this is helpful.

Ah that explains it, i have misunderstood you all this time, i apologize!! It isn't meant to show on the season posters, i never personally thought it made much sense and only made it use more CPU so i never added that. If it ever showed on the season posters it would have been a bug. I can very much see how it would seem like the plugin supports it though and that fully's my fault, i will change this bit to say only series. If people want it shown on the season posters as well i can look into adding that. I just fear it will make the plugin very CPU intensive as the "special source" in this plugin is the series aggregation and that is already a somewhat heavy process, it would have to run for every season or i would have to make big changes to it.

Hi, I created the subtitle plugin for SubSource (https://subsource.net). Please install it and let me know if there is a problem with it. Source code: https://github.com/nRafinia/Emby.Subtitle.SubSource Binary: https://github.com/nRafinia/Emby.Subtitle.SubSource/releases/latest Emby.Subtitle.SubSource.dll

Built in Push Notifications through the app and not 3rd party applications? Is that a foreseen addition or what? Right now I added push bullet and well you have to download the app to just get the notifications. Seems counterproductive honestly at least in my eyes? I'd like to see if maybe the android app could get native notifications, I know Roku would be probably difficult and PC would be easy. Xbox probably the same but may be annoying in the sense while viewing or playing games. At least with the Android (iOS too I'm assuming) we could be notified right from our phones and be like "sweet" turning on Emby and watching a movie now.

I deleted the server data folder numerous times and still ended up with the same situation. I was gonna stick with what I've been using since the login page continued to come up, but I decided to try another browser on a whim and it worked! Very strange! Thanks for your help and sorry for being a bother. Much appreciated!

Hello, I have an additional update! I had to restart my server a couple times since the last update I gave you, I would go into the Emby server in my web browser, turn the server off using the button in the "manage server" page, I would restart my windows 10 server, and I would get the same problem, the first instance I deleted the library.db file and restored from a previous backup which got the server working normally again. The second time I got the same problem again after restarting server, this time I checked task manager and found 2 instances of "Emby server" running, I ended one of the 2 instances in task manager, as soon as I did this the errors went away and I could mark videos played with out issue. I then remembered that I had added Emby Server to "shell:startup" as well as having the "launch on startup" ticked in Emby server itself, I've removed Emby Server from "Shell:startup". I suspect this should fix this issue completely now.

When you uninstall it does not delete the server data folder, so you must have set it up at some point in the past and forgotten about it. You may want to just delete the folder and make a fresh start.

@yockerI was playing with the idea of having a standalone layout generator where you could load out using emby assets. You could create some standard things like youre doing now, and then I also added options for "metadata" fields. You could place the items where you want, and then it generates the layout positions you could then apply for all images. Ive stopped playing with it because I get bored with things after a while, but if you interested I can send it over, its a react/nextjs UI and then a small console appl with ska to create the image for testing (ideally thinking would have a plugin do it just loading the template thats created from the UI generator).

A few days ago, I played a file right after adding it, so before chapters loaded with emby, and it had no issue. The next day I tried one after chapters were recognized by emby, and the same problem.

Hi, Tried it today on a few more movies, and also two different ways of connecting (browser only Vs redirect).. both keep doing exactly the same thing. I am just trying to convert a film now and then will see if that plays, as I believe converted films should fix any weird codec issues (which woule be rare, but wanna rule it out)

No no, don't worry. Oneday when you have time. This has absolutely now priority since there is a workaround. Most people don't care anyways.

+1 for the Vidaa app. I have a Hisense Projector and the web interface to use Emby is incredibly challenging. I also have crashes when playing 4k content using the web browser and emby media link.

@ISeeTWizard First bit done. This was the easy bit though, so still a while to go but it's progress!

Thank you so much, I was waiting for a long time to have something similar to subsence plugin. Thanks a lot for this great plugin Working perfectly

I changed the ports to 8096 and set the port forwarding in the router and it works now. I wonder why i had to change the ports like that with this router and didn't have too with the other router? Any who, thank you all for the help, no we will see if i still have the half show recordings happen. Will give it a few days and report back.

Salut, ci-joints les logs d'hier où j'ai notamment utilisé l'appli Emby sur mon véhicule à partir de 18h Merci embyserver-63889257600.txt

Thanks - As written I have no idea I was just asking me if the new system would it make easier Have fun with your icon overflow - It's like in the web development to get something to work in every browser lol And if you can do it great if not it's ok too - it would just make it easier for my kids to identify the movies

I see that website is up and almost ready. I can translate projects but color theme is likely broken. It now have some mix of light and dark styles. Text have no contrast as it should be. Compare it with Kodi's Weblate: P.S. I use Chrome browser with dark mode in settings. If i switch to light mode then interface is ok.

The new version was released. 0.0.3 https://github.com/nRafinia/Emby.Subtitle.SubSource/releases/latest Emby.Subtitle.SubSource.dll

Hi This release has a problem; I'm working on it

Confirmed, will be fixed. There are some translation issues. Leave the first 3 options enabled in this section, the "Enable sync during playback" is also wrong.

Ask and you shall receive.

Make it a movie library and disable all metadata providers and you will be fine. I use that method for my old home movies and some recordings that do not fit into other categories. I do not use "home videos" type but that might be a good choice. I just figured out the use of a movies library for that purpose first and that is what I have always used.

If you can't follow TV or movie naming conventions then you might be best off with the home videos content type.

HI, yes it makes perfect sense. Unfortunately at the moment the dotnet file move and copy operations that we use don't have any progress reporting. So we either have to wait on that or build our own file system access layer.

I will try this in the morning and report back. All of the ports were there when I installed Emby. External connections are allowed. And I have already bind the ip for the computer running the server.

You can't filter on Audio properties (nor Video nor Subtitles nor anything item-related) in TV shows main library view, as TV shows are collections of items; you can only filter in views and/or libraries where media properties make sense, like: TV shows-type library Episodes tab, Movie-type library Movies tab, Mixed content-type Movies tab etc. Edit: @Luke, maybe it would be beneficial for Episodes tab to have also a toggle "Group items into TV shows", akin to "Group items into collections" - it'd tidy up that view considerably, for those that have such preference.

What are your docker template settings? The official Emby template is incorrect and needs to have UID set to 99 and GID set to 100 otherwise you'll run into permission issues. Adding a container variable UMASK with a value of 022 might be needed too.

It was two separate files (sorry did I load the wrong logs)? Infact there was a 3rd, but the kids just kept clicking on the same movie until I went and looked. Fyi I am using the YouTube hack to go from browser -> redirect YouTube -> full screen (as in proper full screen). Let me see if I can find the 3rd movie. One of the movies has deffo worked on the Tesla before (abominable)

Really considering giving JellyFin a go given all the advantages Emby supposedly had over Plex when I first set my server up have disappeared. It's no longer open source. There's no longer thriving third party development, and indeed they're basically running plugin devs out of town now...still waiting for the intro skip features to reach parity with the plugin that got booted years ago. Devs are no longer responsive—when ebr was doing the ATV app features and fixes went in within days. There are issues that have been outstanding with the standard app for years. I've also encountered a server-breaking bug that the devs have been completely ignoring for two months now. Playback failed for me last night and still no response to that thread in over 12 hours. That would never have happened a few years ago. It's also increasingly obvious that this is Luke's pet project and the only thing that matters is his preference, which is why the Android app is being redesigned to look and feel like an Apple app. I long ago stopped recommending Emby to others and I'm now actively looking to replace it. I really want the missing half of my library back.

Missed you post, sorry. While it would be technically possible to do, lite mode for example only scans the first episode, it would be very complex to make it so that only one series gets 4 seasons scanned. Maybe a setting for a global amount of seasons to scan but personally i don't really see the reason for that as i made it like it like it is so people needing the subtitles don't get stuck half way through a series.

v 12.1.1 "Scan media library" is duplicated Also, the descriptions don't match the option selected. "Pause sync when server is busy with tasks" is the same description for about 10 options.

Hmm should work. Maybe Visual Studio is acting up.. Try this one, works for me. Remember to press the clear icon cache button after installing to clear the stale icons after a reboot of server. Just in case: Remember to also make a profile. EmbyIcons.dll

I do apologise. It's a Panasonic Z95A OLED Fire TV which was released in 2024 so pretty new. My Synology NAS is the DS224+ as well so capable of transcoding if need be. I can promise you the two screenshots I took this morning were from the Fire TV version of the app as that's the only one I had downloaded until I got back home and specifically tried the Android TV version.

Amazon hat in der Firmware mittlerweile die Option abgestellt. Man kann im Stick nichts mehr einstellen was mit Energie Optionen zusammenhängt.

Don't know the exact scenario but think there is a quirk when providers are added or removed as similar issues have come up in other topics.

Just to follow up with some further information, I tried a version of Beverly Hills Cop with a DTS audio track which had a bitrate of 3918kbps and while the opening title crawl seemed smooth, about 5 minutes in the playback was again noticeably juddery. I then tried a copy with an AAC audio track with "only" 380kbps and that one is buttery smooth. Opening crawl fine and the same scenes that were juddery on the DTS (and EAC3) audio tracks played absolutely perfectly. So maybe the issue is the high bitrate ?. Although this is way beyond my pay grade to be fair .. #edit Also just got home and decided to try the Emby for Android TV version of the app and, at the moment, that appears to be playing everything without an issue - no stuttering or anything so it'll do as a temporary solution I guess.

SubtitleEdit?

The latest builds are now available on the downloads page. I've only just transitioned to using my NAS to run my Emby server, I'd been using a NUC for years which always just auto-updated.

What metadata providers do you have enabled and in what order? But just guessing here but sounds like you have OMDB first so this would be normal behavior as cast and crew only come from first provider not all provider. And OMDB is very limited and does not contain Roles only Actor names. But a specific example will help also.

Or we simply continue to use Audiobookshelf, which fits like a glove for this purpose. After all these years of hoping, I no longer see Emby developing into an equivalent of ABS regarding Audiobooks.

Please do not forget Please do not forget that the plugin also creates smart collections, not only playlists. I use the collections, not the playlists. Will the core feature offer collections?
