https://github.com/Mickle026/AdvancedLogExplorer AdvancedLogExplorer (Emby Plugin) AdvancedLogExplorer is an Emby Server plugin that provides an interactive log viewer inside the Emby admin dashboard. It makes it easy to browse, search, and export logs without leaving the web interface. Features Log file selection — choose any Emby server log (embyserver.txt, ffmpeg.txt, rotated logs, etc.). Keyword filtering — filter log entries using one or two keywords with logical operators (AND, OR, NOT). Presets — quickly filter logs by categories like: Exceptions Playback Transcode Network Library Metadata Plugin-specific (plugin:Name) Plugin filter dropdown — lists plugins found in the selected log file (Info App: Loading … lines). (Note: this dropdown will be empty if no plugins are listed in that log.) Split view — view both the filtered log and the raw log side by side. Copy / Download — copy filtered or raw logs to the clipboard, or download them as .txt files. Installation Build the plugin from source (Visual Studio → build in Release). Copy the generated .dll into your Emby Server programdata/plugins/ directory. Default location on Windows: C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\plugins\ Restart Emby Server. Go to Dashboard → Plugins → AdvancedLogExplorer. Usage Open the AdvancedLogExplorer plugin page in the Emby admin dashboard. Use the first dropdown to select which log file to view. (Optional) If the log contains plugin load entries, the second dropdown will list those plugin names. Select one to filter by that plugin. Apply keywords or choose a preset to further refine the log view. Toggle split view to see the raw log alongside the filtered log. Use the buttons at the bottom to: Copy Filtered — copies the filtered log to clipboard. Copy Raw — copies the raw log to clipboard. Download Filtered — saves the filtered log as a text file. Download Raw — saves the raw log as a text file. Notes The plugin filter dropdown only shows entries if the log includes lines like: Info App: Loading PosterRotator, Version=1.0.0.0 ... If no such entries exist in the selected log file, the dropdown will be empty. Blank lines are stripped for clarity in both filtered and raw views. This plugin requires Emby Server 4.8.11.0 or later.

Yes, I know about this .. we fixed it many time, editor we used too old with these forum build. We will try to speed our time to upgrade to the new forum build, that these problem will be history.

Well, I agree with @emiyakirthat this feature shouldn't be too hard to implement, as remote control is already present in Emby. And you wrote Well, I already pay monthly subscription (Emby Premiere) to support the team, because this software is better than any other on the market. I only wish that devs would listen to community as well... Or at least stop misleading us for years.

I agree, I don't think you should invest time and money in something big and risky like that that also stray from the "mission" of emby. Just enable use of SMTP like in the plugin and tied it to the email lost password feature. I think to make it easy, it could be a plugin first that add lost password email and require the SMTP plugin, and then later on can be backed as an optional feature. It make development in step easier, the feature doesn't need to do everything day one.

sure that also makes sense. if ill need more down the road ill make that change. i have 128gb more ram just laying here not in use HA. i work for a enterprise server refurbishing co. only reason i get good hardware free/cheapo. im not going out of my way to spend money on a ram disk. its just something i already have

I'm also join in this conversation. It would be great if I could select one or more libraries to search in.

A new user restriction is being added here. So now you'll be able to allow them to transcode based on supported media, but not based on their quality setting.

OK we'll get it sorted and get it restored. Thanks.

New plugin to map classification ratings to allow clean up of classifications where there are mixed region classifications. This can help reduce the clutter. You will need to set up your mappings, something like this: The report on the settings page will help with your mappings showing you what you currently have in your library. The idea is add all your local classification ratings and then add all the ones you want to map to them. In the example above a ratting of M will get changed to AU-M and the PG will be changed to AU-PG. You can have multiple (comma seperated) items that will get updated to the target, in the above example G,7,M6,TV-Y7,TV-G,GB-U,ES-TP,FSK-6 and BR-L will get mapped to AU-MA. You need to run the Task for the items will be updated. The task is in the schedule tasks list. Install: The plugin is in the plugin catalogue under the Metadata area.

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...

Actions speak louder than words. I’d just assume it’s not coming at this point, unfortunately.

Hi, are you still interested for this feature in for future updates? But this time for real. You've been telling us that for a 5 years straight. Can you at least give us ETA?

I personally don't see any benefit and mostly downsides from using a ramdisk for transcoding but i do agree, it's personal preference and use case plus using ramdisk will work perfectly fine without problems for most. What works best for a person is usually the best solution for that person.

@SamES@Luke Full uninstall + remove power did the trick. Trailers work again after reinstall - so does everything else. Thanks very much for your fast help and the excellent service! Greetings.

Something like this div.listTotalRecordCount {display: none}

thank you! this was what i was trying to say from the beginning. i should have been more clear!

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. There clearly ARE workloads which benefit from a RAM disk. Albeit, mostly applications which were developed for using disk as storage and weren't anticipating cases where somebody has so much RAM. In that case, they could have developed it in a way to use the RAM directly. In other words, it's mostly older applications where you can achieve high gains. On the other side, there are also completely idotic ways for using a RAM disk, like for example as swap drive (Emby transcoding-temp is somewhere in the middle: no benefit, on slower or loaded systems possibly even degraded performance, on powerful systems running low, no harm unless you run out of "disk space")

sounds good! my main complaint was with someone jumping into threads just saying the same thing "ram disk have no benefit" so nothing you really said. my point to them is there is benefit for some people. they just kept referencing this thread.. thx again

Hi, thank you for your support.

I have absolutely nothing against RAM disks. All I've said here was only about the specific use case as a transcoding-temp folder for Emby. Of course, everybody is free to do what they want. I just want to avoid a situation where people are later complaining about the size requirements.With tvNext, when it saves full transponder data from a tuner, it makes about 25 GB/h. Plus the watched or recorded programs being saved separately plus - in case of transcoding - the transcoded programs, so when 2 programs are consumed, you may get 30 GB/h. With a quadro tuner and 8 consumed programs, this makes 120 GB/h. With a timeshift buffer of 6h, you'll need 720 GB transcoding-temp size in this example.

that makes sense, but if 128gb covers me for the little transcoding i do then all good right? i just dont like the blanket statement ram disk BAD or wont work right. my system is my home lab/steamlink/emby ect server always running. most is played direct as i have gig internet. live tv is the biggest transcoder as its mpeg2. having something thats there and works and it currently free is also a benefit.

I delete the user ID and hit save and get the error. When I go back in to the user the user ID is back. I'm certain I'm using the correct email.

on slow ram sure. 6 channel ddr4 i highly doubt is getting MAXed out. ive ran benchmarks on the ram disk its absolutley insane on speed. and cpu never jumps much at all. again though i have system with enterprise cpu ram edit 6 channels

Seeing same as you do on Dark theme. Though seeing some other quotes in the same topic normally. On Default/Light theme, all quotes are normally visible. So, I don't think it's you, but likely the source it was copied from. Anyway, @Abobadermight have a look.

it doesnt always use more processing power. it matters how its done. softperfect has a direct i/o moide that bypasses some of the os stack. so while in general it can add overhead... how much really? if you have free memeory laying around why not use it? https://www.softperfect.com/board/read.php?16,29485

Maybe because he tends to agree with @softworkzas well, as per linked topic...? Have you followed that one you quoted and saw the Devs argumentation for it?

Besides, prices have come down so much that TBW/DWPD shouldn't even be a factor anymore.

The myth that SSD's and NVME's today are small fragile things that needs babysitting all the time is greatly exaggerated. You would have to constantly write at blazing speeds to kill a NVME within any time that people would deem fast. I used to write chia plots to SSD's and NVMEs that are still running strong today. Samsung SSD Write Endurance Test – How Long Will Samsung 990 EVO, 990 PRO, and 870 EVO Last? – Advanced Data Recovery for NAS, SSD & RAID Systems They tested the Samsung 990 Pro to 28 petabytes and still working. The endurance written in the technical specs is very conservative.

Hi Luke, thank you for reply. I didn't have time to write. Last night, I managed to solve the problem. I had to uninstall Emby on the devices, remove the saved servers, reinstall app, and add the servers again. It's very strange, but it helped. I've been using Emby on Windows and haven't encountered this issue before. Emby updates on Truenas are quite frequent, and maybe something about one of them caused the problem on the playback devices.

Thanks a lot Luke.

@cyberrepit looks like this is happening when the server fails to probe a video for media info. this will be resolved on the next build of the beta channel. Thanks.

Thanks so mujch! that fixed it! you saved me an entrie day of rebuilding from scratch!

The log has episode scanning activity all throughout. I would go into your TV libraries and disable the episode intro detection feature and then see how things compare.

Information that may assist in isolating the bug: when there is no dialogue, Emby plays smoothly. However, when dialogue begins and subtitles appear frame drops and stutters resume.

OK this is normal behavior, so that if you return you can resume. Once it idles the server will terminate it anyway.

Sorry have not had time to test this out, maybe in the next few weeks..

I see no reason to provide any details about a mobile app you're pushing me to use on my TV, a 75 inch screen, not a 6 inch one. I don't want a mobile app on my TV. I will not use a mobile app in my TV. It's that simple. I'm sorry it's so hard to understand my very clear complaint of "I said no, respect that and STOP PUSHING THIS MOBILE CRAP ONCE I SAY NO

hi @eagleeye208the ordering should be resolved in the upcoming 4.9 server release. We will look at adding additional parts to apple tv. Thanks !

HI, we think this is resolved in the next update to Emby for iOS (not the one that went out last night). Thanks.

HI, please try Emby for iOS 2.2.43. Thanks.

This is working now. I did have it set as: Chapters every 3 minutes & Thumbnail Images Interval: Chapter ***Changed to*** Chapters every 3 minutes & Thumbnail Images Internal: 10 seconds Then did a library scan & refreshed the metadata with delete existing images selected. Looks like thats got it working. nb. I have noticed that with images for episodes where the images are stored with the files so Emby uses them... It still gives a generic image when first added to the library, but if you do a meta refresh WITHOUT selecting to delete the existing file, they then pop up correct.

Hi all, I’ve been working on a project called NFOGuard to solve a common headache: when you upgrade media (HDTV → Web → Blu-ray, etc.), Emby often resets the DateCreated to “now.” That pushes old movies/episodes back to the top of “Recently Added” and scrambles your library history. What NFOGuard does: Runs as a Docker service that listens to Sonarr/Radarr webhooks. Detects whether an item is a new import or an upgrade. Maintains a DB of original import dates and updates/writes .nfo files accordingly. Includes a backfill option for existing libraries (fallbacks: TV → airdate, Movies → theatrical/digital release date). Bundles an Emby plugin (the .dll is already inside the Docker image for easy testing). Status: This is Alpha software intended for power users. Make sure you have backups and be ready for breakage. Right now I’m looking for community testers to try it in different setups and workflows, and share feedback. Links: GitHub (Docker/webhook code + setup): https://github.com/sbcrumb/nfoguard Discord (alpha testinghttps://discord.gg/bbD9Pmtr Before You Test: You’re running Sonarr/Radarr and Emby. Comfortable with Docker. Backups ready (Emby DB + media). Willing to share logs/feedback if things break. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help test — your feedback will help make this reliable for all Emby users.

This thread has really been derailing lately. If you no longer want/see the need for TvNext, cool. Talk about e-book readers or whatever is your fancy in another thread. There is plenty of people who want this to see the light, and that has already been confirmed to be happening. I hate the delay too, however it was confirmed to be happening, and to even get that given plenty of other requests that never have any confirmation is at least something. Cable cards are a relic, yes we as consumers should have a choice however that doesn't mean we will. TvNext (and Emby in general) will try to support what is common for this use case, and that has been demonstrated. Many people are moving to M3U, and even though that has some potential legality concern, you have the option. I use OTA exclusively, and plan to for the foreseeable future. Even better if DRM gets removed from ATSC3, however not holding my breath. Super fast channel changing, proper tuner management, .... are all benefits that anyone using LiveTv will benefit from, period.

Since currently there is already a feature that basically you can use one device as a remote to control the video play on another device, wouldn't that be very straightforward to allow a host to control other users' video play and play on his own device in parallel? This would allow two devices watching at the same time and i believe (?) that should suffice most people's needs?

Appreciate the guide but there is absolutely no reason to do this.

Jeez people, it hasn't even been a decade yet, whats the rush...

Hi, I would love to see the possibility to only update ratings (IMDB & Rotten Tomatoes) without the need to 'Refresh metadata' (as this will refresh all metadata). Ideally as scheduled task since (especially for new movies) the ratings can change quite a lot. Thanks!

Emby can see multiple video tracks there.... But it doesn't know what to do with it, i guess....

Is it possible to create a Rating AddOn like this? http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=167754
