I agree that this is desirable. Please understand though, that - while I can talk about TVnext architecture and capabilities at the server side - I cannot talk about or even make any promises regarding client player features.

Same issue

Now it is non working. Gets an error no matter what type of media it is. Playback Error there is an error processing the request try again later

Just updated, constantly seeing a big red "there was an error processing the request" on movie and TV pages

As a quick solution the devs should roll back the update and put the old version on LG store again. I think in case of a breaking bug this should be possible instantly without re-verfication by LG.

@Luke, just wondering, are you guys aware of this inconvenience?

It bears repeating that one of the critical requirements is an HTTPS connection, otherwise other auth improvements are just "security theater." As Let's Encrypt is supposed to be releasing IP-based certs by EOY 2025 (its available in their staging environment), this seems like a good foundation to build on for this and other auth improvements. There are quite a few low-restrictions OSS .NET implementations of the ACME v2 protocol clients that could be integrated into Emby server that would improve security and anonymity should the devs consider it.

I want to thank the entire community for coming up with a solution to my "Big Recent Problem". I saw input from a lot of different people, and together you came up with a solution. I don't know what happened, or what changed but the problem is solved THANK YOU ONE AND ALL AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS

A new plugin is in the Emby plugin catalog for Emby Premiere users, largely developed by @softworkz. This plugin requires Emby Server version 4.9.1.27+, so unless you're running that, you will not see it. WebStreams This is designed to be a better version of the IPTV plugin. You can now import both single streams as well as M3U lists into Emby Server. Eventually we may also add RSS support and merge the podcasts plugin into this. Beyond RSS, there is also the potential to support other formats if there's enough demand for them. Features Import both single streams and M3U lists into Emby Server TV episodes within M3U are displayed with Series and Season hierarchies, just like regular libraries (make sure to select the appropriate content type when adding a source) Rich metadata support using MovieDb and TVDB (make sure to select the appropriate content type when adding a source) Ability to filter what gets imported Known Issues We need to add more visibility into the server's background refresh queue. You can see the progress of it on the webstreams config page. Currently if you restart the server in the middle of this, then you will need to run the refresh channels scheduled task.

Tired of seeing end credits before Emby loads the next episode of your favorite TV show? Now you can remove that iritation! EmbyCredits detects those end credits and add a marker for Emby to use so end credits can be skipped. https://github.com/yocksers/EmbyCredits This is either by done chroma fingerprinting and comparing the episodes or by the plugin extracting png/jpg images of the TV show, sending them to a tesseract docker container, the tesseract finds a match and reports that back to the plugin that then adds the skip to Embys database. Emby then shows a "Keep Watching | Next Episode" when it sees the marker. Requirements: yock1/embycreditocr installed if OCR detection is wanted (recommended method). In the plugin you add the Tesseract server IP: IMPORTANT!!!!! As the plugin extracts a lot of images it needs a custom folder to do this as to not fill up Emby docker disk images so set this setting: Then add some keywords to search for (i have added a few but for more precise detection you should add some more that are fitting to your library). Choose a library or a single episode and press process. The plugin can also be set to run as a scheduled task or auto detection for when new shows or episodes have been added to Emby. Speciel thanks to friends who helped developing and @Neminemfor help with testing! If you like this plugin then please consider donating at https://buymeacoffee.com/yockser so i can sit back and relax once in a while with a nice coffee. Disclaimer: Use at your own risk! The plugin has been tested and re-tested but bugs are devious little things that can creep in unnoticed. Do with the plugin what ever you want, change the code, call it your own creation or even take money for it.. I don't care. The original will be here for free!

After updating to Emby for LG 1.0.49, I've started encountering an issue when trying to select titles from the home screen or when attempting to play titles from within a library screen. I get the following message: "Playback Error There was an error processing the request. Please try again later." See attached for photos of the error. I've tried restarting the Emby server, the NAS, and the TV itself - no change in the app's behavior. I have no trouble playing content on my server using the Emby app on my Android phone, my Nvidia Shield, or a browser on my Linux and Windows PCs. Thought I´d report this issue - if there's another place I should be reporting this, please let me know.

I'm having the same issue as the comment above from tjb. Tried on a couple different LG TVs this morning and it's coming up with 'There was an error processing the request. Please try again later." when trying to go into anything from the home screen.

@gibmanAlso i believe i found the problem. Noticed you are using danish locales, so using "," instead of "." for settings like fps.. I fixed it so it should now automatically change it when sending the command to ffmpeg. EmbyCredits.dll

Working well now! Thanks!

@sh0rty It should work now. I copied the fix i had added to individual items and it works now, so very fast and easy fix. Problem was that i had it look in parent directories which Emby does not use for collections. MetaExtractor.dll

Working Great now, thank you !!!

I have two LG TVs. One with Emby version 1.0.49 which doesn't work after the update, and another LG TV which I didn't update, Emby works on it

Ein Reverse Proxy ist ein Service der bei Dir im Netz läuft. Du gibst nach außen nur die Standardports wie 80 & 443 frei und je nach angeforderter Domain vermittelter dieser intern weiter. Vorteil: Anfragen die ohne korrekte URL kommen werden abgewiesen. Bekannter Reverse Proxys ist z.B. NGINX oder was bei mir läuft, weil sehr Bedienungsfreundlich, Zoraxy. Du hast also einen DynDNS (z.B. emby.deine-domain.de) --> Router --> Reverse Proxy ---> Emby-Server Und ja, du musst irgendeinen Port aufmachen. Da Emby-Connect kein Loch in deine Firewall punched. Es ist ein reiner Vermittler. Wenn Du nur über Emby Connect gehen möchtest, weil du z.B. keinen eigen Domain hast, würde ich dir zumindest einen Port jenseits der Standardports empfehlen. Das kannst du ja einstellen. Damit würdest zumindest Suchmaschinen wie Shodan usw. umgehen. Ich würde dir aber dringend zu einem Reverse Proxy raten, da du so auch eine ssl Verbindung einfach managen kannst. Zoraxy kümmert sich da echt prima drum, währen bei NGNIX du dich selber drum kümmern musst.

i have changed all my library folders to movie view by default one by one, but one is stubborn, while I can successfully choose "Movies" as default view under homescreen, and it stays that way after a restart, going on that library shows TV Show view...

OK the next release will be merging those tabs anywaybe.

Specifically for switch 2 please

OK there is an issue with that in the current release. We’ll have a maintenance release out soon that will resolve it. Thanks.

Finally the update came today on my LG - audio issues seem to be fixed

Please I need this now!! For using it on my TV ts would make my day

OK please email billingsupport@emby.media. Thanks.

Nevermind, I just received an update to version 1.0.49 and the embedded subtitles now appear. Thank you anyway por paying attention.

Here's a project template which will be added to the SDK on the next update. EmbyPluginUiTemplate.zip It has everything that is needed and I also added a button with backend processing as an example. Please let me know whether that helps. Thanks

Thank you for your help so far, I started up a "test" emby container with access only to my movies folder within unraid, and your plug-in, and I noticed that I no longer see temporary folders in my library. And the theme videos are NOT transcoding like they previously were. Thank you for your patience, so far looks like another user error! Thank you for the wonderful plug-in, and if I get everything running correctly and stable, I will be purchasing the YouTube trailers as well. Thank you!

Yes I see the same results as OP on 4.9.1.90, only affect Movie default screen option. I guess you can say it is somewhat broke in beta 4.9.4.1 also with the combine tab as there is only one option not two.

Yes, and selecting either of them as Default screen in Home Screen settings results in "Shows" tab to be landing page.

Do you have any movies in that particular library? Which server version? Edit: I can reproduce that on 4.9.1.90: Mixed-content library, selecting either "Movies" or "Shows" tab as landing page - both lead to "Shows" tab library view. @Luke

+1! I’m a lifetime Emby user & I’d also be keen to run Emby on a RK3588. I can test this out once it’s available in pre-release.

Oh Dear! Same issue with me on LG TV

Thank you for the feedback @Luke-- unfortunately I am still unable to install Emby for Android as it does not appear for this new VegaOS device in the Amazon Store in Australia. I will try once per week to see when it becomes available and let you know how it goes. Merry Christmas

This probably related to your server not keeping up with conversions. If you can atttach some logs files at the time it occurs, we can assist further. Are you trying to play locally or remote?

Thanks for the update Luke and Merry Christmas to you and the team.

Confirmed, will be fixed in next version

Emby for LG TV's 1.0.49 has been released. Stay tuned to the blog for the release announcement.

Then some kind of break.. then reopen stream automatically.. Not a just end stream...thx

Yeah unfortunately I don't think they have any affect on built-in Android TV devices, but was worth a shot for OP to check anyway. Thanks for reporting back.

During the earlier beta we haven't had such case (only aspect-ratio/anamorphic switches). When somebody has such channels: we have a tuner simulator which works in a way that users can record a full transponder, upload the recording and we can work with it as if it would be coming from a regular tuner. But then, it's still not an easy subject as it depends on many different factors. If the streams are just getting filtered out and forwarded via HLS to a player like MPV, it would most likely just handle it without complaining. When playing in a browser and there would be a switch from progressive to interlaced, then it would fail because browsers do not support interlaced playback and a break in the stream would need to happen. By that I mean that continuity will be broken: Timeshift buffer ends and a new one is started and you won't be able to seek from before the break to after nor back from after to before. Also, having FFmpeg reconfigure itself on input changes is hardly feasible with all the hw acceleration cases. I fear that the only sane and clean way to deal with it is to treat it as a hard break, just like in case of shared channels where two or more stations have their daily time window and one stops while another starts (possibly with a different set of streams). Due to all those constraints, not even the mentioned case with MPV player might be doable, that's tbd. Eventually, the only improvement in this regard might be a clean end of stream in case of stream format changes like this. PS: Not that it's unachievable, but not immediately at least

I fixed both issues by myself. the second issue with library updates was fixed by cleaning up folder %AppData%\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\sync and EmbyServer restart. there were many subfolders with some cropped video files inside. the first (and main issue) was the TV itself related issue. First I removed both Emby - black and white, where white is 2.2.9 version installed via USB as an update, but black version was not deleted. black and white are the Apps icon colour at TV. then I powered off the TV and wait for several minutes to complete power cycle. after that I installed 2.2.9 version (white) via USB. After these easy steps Emby works fine.

Fixed it. Settings were saved as they should, the settings page just failed to read the settings and reverted to default values. Thanks for reporting it! WatchingEye.dll

Twelve days of Christmas and Emby gave to me: One home page spotlight Two smart lists playing Three collections nesting Four libraries expanding Five golden apps Six custom menus Seven search improvements Eight major updates Nine watches together Ten times the joy Eleven reasons not to use Plex Twelve months of entertainment Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Monday night football, all kinds of problems out of ESPN didn't matter which provider.. When I pull my stats up it says hls I believe at the top and then an arrow like maybe it's a transcoding? But then under that it says direct play video? Now I'm confused on why it would transcode that.. it should be direct streaming.. but when I go to WTHR 6.1 Indianapolis it plays fine no transcode... At the top it says direct direct. Sorry I've been super busy with christmas, I'll try to get log file

Super, merci. Tu es parfait. Ca marche. Happy christmas.

It is merged with the Jurassic World 2. @Chris83320Go to your Jurassic World 2 movie details page, scroll down until you get to "Split Versions Apart" button, click it/split them and re-Identify incorrectly identified movie afterwards.

Hi, unfortunately LG has a tendency to fail app submissions for really silly or meaningless reasons. So this is what happened and we had to submit again and now we are waiting for the app review process again. Thanks.

Version 1.4 is available with Poster support, unfortunately it seems that i am not able to edit the start post. Dont know why. You can get it on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/bjoerns1983/Emby.Plugin.TelegramNotification/releases
