New version up (v1.8.5.0) on yocksers/EmbyCredits Github. Fixed: Hash detection now works with people using other locale than english. Files on Samba shares now work correctly when doing detection. This should fix the problems some people were having.

In any case, the link no longer works.

New version up (1.8.0.0) on yocksers/EmbyCredits github. Added: Hash detection mode similar to how intro skipping detection works. Please note: Both detection method can't run at the same time and enabling one will disable the other. Changed: UI changes and user friendliness improvements. Known bugs: QSV OCR GPU acceleration does not work, this will require Emby to update FFmpeg, --- This is a big one. When this plugin was first made it had hash detection instead of OCR detection, i moved to OCR because i couldn't get the hash detection done right and it only gave false detections. I have tinkered with the hash detection ever since then when ever i had time for it and I think i finally cracked it and made it have acceptable detection now. So i added it to this version so OCR is no longer needed for those that don't want to use OCR. Please note: OCR can be more precise when set correctly but not by much. You can choose between the two detection methods in the settings but they CAN NOT be run at the same time, that would require a lot of complexity a be rather redundant in my opinion. @NeminemSorry for skipping you this time but still many thanks as always for the help you have provided!

Mostly that seems to be: - Release new feature that the Devs or "Commercial" Customers want - Spend multiple releases fixing regression issues caused by lack of proper testing process - Spend refactoring code for this weeks newest release of .NET

I'm a plex life time member, but I have been using Emby for over six years continuously, but there is a feature which I have always thought is missing in Emby which I would like and encourage the developer to consider including especially in this dispensation where families can social or commingle due to COVID 19. Today, I received a notification from Plex about it new feature titled Watch together you can read about it here https://support.plex.tv/articles/watch-together/ The feature allows friends and families at distance to watch same movies together instantly, you simply invite all your buddy, once they signed to the system which can be seeing in the server then play and pause as needed, this I think is cool feature should be added to emby. Let's here your though if Emby developer should consider adding this feature to our beloved Emby Media https://www.bing.com/news/search?q=Plex+Watch+Together&qpvt=plex+watch+together&FORM=EWRE

My proposal is a setting in the Emby client apps to set custom proxy headers like e.g. in Immich, Conduit or Embywatch. Currently you need to open a ton of paths like /emby/web/* or /emby/Items/* to be able to use an Emby app from the outside of LAN via Reverse Proxy with an authentication layer in front of Emby. Pangolin/Traefik Reverse Proxy is used in this example: You would set up the custom proxy header "P-Access-Token: xxx" and "P-Access-Token-Id: yyy" inside the Emby app and it can connect successfully to your Emby Server behind the Reverse Proxy with all the bells and whistles like 2FA, Passkeys etc since the Request Headers tell the Proxy: "Hey, I'm a trusted app because of your set up Headers for the resource requested but not able to use your Pangolin Login Prompt like a Browser".

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

Sorry, i have a pretty beffy server only for Emby : Ryzen 5 8600g 32 Go ddr5 6000mhz RTX 4060 ~50 TB HDD ~20 TB SSD Windows server

This version seems to work

Looks lkke Rykalout might be busy right now with something. Anyone else with problems that can test this version as well? EmbyCredits.dll

I am using Native mode (so it honors EDL files), and just updated last night to 12.4.7, and this morning to 12.4.8 (previously on 12.3.8 I believe) and it seems in both of those versions playback isn't being sync'd. By that I mean I watch part of a show, exit Kodi, and when I come back in it doesn't remember where I left off. I am on Kody 21.2. Happy to provide logs, but not sure how to get them off of my Android TV device. [EDIT] It only seems to happen on multi-version videos (i.e., when I have a 1080p and a 4k version)

It is per .db file and each .db file can have multiple connections up to a set maximum We have these databases: authentication.db, activitylog.db, users.db and library.db. The cache is defaulted as 128Mb per connection for the library.db and hard wired at 64Mb for each of the connections to the other db's We can have up to 5 connections for each of the library.db and authnetication.db and up to 3 connections for each of the remaining 2 databases. So with the defaults, the max cache Mb usage could be 640Mb for the library.db and 704Mb for the other 3 db files. So maximum

@yockeredit you post to @Rykaloutit's still showing the link

Thank you, please remove the link again. I will move this to private message so we don't fill this thread with debugging.

Same here with last version

I frequently use the filter of Unwatched for movies and TV shows. And with music, you get recommendations based upon "similar" artist or songs. I would like a flag option to mark media as "Not Interested" or whatever verbiage would be better for the masses. This would have to be at the user level and not stored in a NFO file since I would like to filter out things my family likes, but only on my profile. As my libraries grow, I am having more content for my family. Since I am the only male in the house, my users have tastes that are distinctly different from mine. Whether it be real surgery shows, true murder, sappy romances, or telenovelas; these are things that I will never - and I do mean never - watch. The same thing goes for the music collection. I don't mind classic musical soundtracks, but my daughters collection of Broadway musicals is vast. And annoying. Now I could make them as Watched, but then that would go into the algorithm "Since you watched this, you might like this...", I would like to avoid doing that. I've poked around quite a bit, but I don't see anything like this currently nor did I see anything like this requested. If it has been requested but called something else, I would love to know about it so I can like that post. Thanks in advance.

Just to chip in as well. Had to double check several times to confirm that emby doesn’t have such a basic feature-especially these days when every streaming service (I know emby is not streaming service per se) tries to personalise playlist for each user. Seeing content i’m not interested in is really annoying under new media. Sorting based on folders is not feasible if you have more than couple of users with changing preferences, and you are layzy admin who does not wish to track every users inividual taste. Would be much smarter to let users themselves decide. “Not interested” button per-user would be really appreciated.

Two years later... Since no lists, neither from TheMovieDB nor from TheTVDB. A collection of Game of Thrones series is only self curated possible. :-(

Asking here because apparently Emby knows what they are doing and Apple/Amazon don't.

Maybe related so i will add this. Settings this still resets chapter info so for example intro skip chapters gets removed.

OK we'll take a look at it. Thanks.

Hi, yes this is something we plan to add. Thanks.

That's excellent! Thanks, From what I've figured out so far, by giving my own ratings to Album Artists, it seems that using Community Rating for Music, as a defacto User Rating, is very practical and useful. I imagine this may even flow on to some good options for smart playlists and smart collections when they are ready??? Something else I've noticed is that the List View for Album Artists will always show the Community Rating by default (which is ok), but the Primary View doesn't even have an option to show the Community Rating field. Ideally it should be optional to show it in the Primary View, the same way that Albums currently has (example below): You would probably be across this anyway and know the best way to incorporate into views, sorting and filtering for UI consistency and best usability. Cheers!

I appreciate everyone trying to help out with this! It appears that the only way to fix this is to disable the transcode function in the HDHomerun. See attached. I had it set to "heavy" by default which seemed to work with Plex but didn't with Emby. (I just didn't see a need for a full bandwidth MPEG-2 ATSC stream, so I thought it was better to have the Extend transcode. But by setting the HDHomerun to "none" then Emby will stream TV channels in 720p/1080i. Thanks for your help everyone!

Hello, thank you so much for fixing the subtle issue. It works perfectly!! 4.10.0.1-beta Pre-release Fix subtitle encoding regression with LG TVs

@barrettukit's a lot of work, but personally I prefer to name each file as the naming convention requires, which is: Show (year) - s0Xe0X - Episode name.ext According to https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094030/?ref_=ttep_ep_1 and https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/655-star-trek-the-next-generation/season/1/episode/1 this is indeeed an episode that's just extra long. On TVDB the episode it is in fact split up in a part one and two: https://thetvdb.com/series/star-trek-the-next-generation/seasons/official/1 Since you want to use TVDB you would want to name your file: Star Trek The Next Generation (1987) - s01e01-e02 - Encounter at Farpoint.ext You can indicate that a file contains multiple episodes. The other episodes can be simply kept the same: Star Trek The Next Generation (1987) - s01e03 - The Naked Now.ext Star Trek The Next Generation (1987) - s01e04 - Code of Honor.ext ... etc

Add-on mode makes your Kodi behave like any other Emby client. In Native mode your Kodi will (attempt to) access the source media files directly from the Kodi client instead of being received as a stream from the Emby server. Personally I've always used Add-on mode, I figure Native is one of those "you'll know if you need it" type options. FWIW, I had a lot of small issues and things I didn't even realize were problems with E4K + AZ Reloaded. At @quickmic's suggestion I tried the Estuary Mod V2 skin from the KodiNerds repo and found it a much better experience. I'd recommend at least installing it and having it available to validate whether a particular problem you are having is skin-related or it. I really wanted to like Embuary but it's just too buggy and I don't think it's getting any real new dev (I could be wrong, I haven't paid attention in a while). I've don't think I've messed with the Dynamic libraries. Again I figure if I end up trying to do something that needs them I'll know, so I must not have yet. As @js28194mentioned, be sure on the Emby server to install the Kodi Companion plugin.

The Kodi option is a slider, not a toggle.

Opensubtitles.org is shutting down for good. Opensubtitles.com will be the forward option. Emby already made the transition. So this is a notice for all not using the Emby plugin. OpenSubtitles.org API - Final Shutdown Notice - OpenSubtitles forum

Hi, I definitely would suggest trying to name your files to match tvdb. That will just make things easier in terms of metadata.

4.9:

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to modify the login screen to replace the large "Manual Login" and "Forgot Password?" boxes with smaller links below the list of users? I've mocked up a version in paint to demonstrate what I mean. It's obviously just a preference I have, mostly due to the Samsung TV app making those 5 boxes so huge and pushing them to 2 lines, but I'd love if we could have an alternative login page layout like the above. Keep up the great work, love the app and have done since MB3! Thanks, Michael

Thanks for the update CBers.. Do you know when they will officially release on the Play Store? I'd rather get it from there vs sideloading it. Thanks again

FYI I'm working on a patch to update to the latest version and improve parts of the official freebsd package, and will probably be taking over maintenance of the package from now on.

CURRENT STATUS: SSO: Not yet planned LDAP: Development COMPLETED - BETA AVAILABLE >180 direct endorsements >30 MONTHS (>2.5 years) >12,000 views PLEASE BUMP - - - - - PLEASE LIKE - - - - - PLEASE BUMP - - - - - PLEASE LIKE - - - - - PLEASE BUMP This would greatly expand Emby's usage, and possibly more enterprise level adoption, user templating, user groups, SSO, etc. There are also users who have completely abandoned Emby and ended subscriptions due to the lack of this necessary basic functionality. Note: SAML2 is also part of this request. (header auth is also acceptable, at a minimum.) Context: I am trying to use something like openfire as a Instant Messaging solution which already supports LDAP and SAML2. So this would allow the current user of emby to seamlessly use web-based instant messenger with the same username and password as Emby without the need to enter them into a form. This would also allow universal login to be shared with my home PC's, Spiceworks, Ombii, Organizr, etc. The multitude of possible flexible functionality this could add is truly incredible. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE, myself and others cannot manage a userbase with proprietary passwords for a single service (with no self-service password reset/recovery), when things that have only months of development implement it within days, easily. Status: LDAP - Development Completed - BETA AVAILABLE! Common LDAP solutions to test against:​Open LDAP​ (Open Source) [use this] ApacheDS OpenDJ 389 Directory Server Microsoft Active Directory SSL is NOT actually needed, but Emby team insisted on it anyways: Simply offering a toggle option for auth to send plaintext or encrypted passwords would work just fine. It is ironic to claim the need to be overly security conscious of user passwords, while lagging behind on basic SSL. If SAML is implemented, a SAML request/response can just be signed by an x509 and it is just as secure as TLS using SSL. SSL does not need to be natively supported, as it is perfectly possible to run it through an SSL reverse proxy tunnel and have the same effect. SSL Feature Request: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/33983-ssl-integrationsupport/&do=findComment&comment=322526As of now username and password is encrypted client-side as security as SSL is not natively implemented. Emby team has said this impedes the adoption of both SSO and LDAP. Please see our SSL request topic; like, comment, and endorse it to show how many people would enjoy/gain from this basic security. Ways to satisfy this FR: Direct LDAP connector SAML2 connector General SSO functionality (SSO Header, etc) Allowing user header auth NGINX auth support RADIUS Authentication Other features that are inherently possible if this is implemented: Self service passwords Ability for users to invite users/guests Expiring Accounts (after duration/trigger) Unified credentials for many services Corporate level authentication security User groups Mass User management Update 1: I encourage others to work on this but I am currently seeing what I can do to develop a solution to this myself. If you have experience in this LDAP/SSO/SAML2/SSL/.NET contact myself, @@Luke, @@ebr or the Emby team to let them know, any help is greatly appreciated! By everyone! Update 2: I know there is always the question of "well how many users actually want/will use this", so I compiled a list of some of the other threads/sites where people request this (to apparently no effectiveness in motivating the team). Update 3 (18 MONTH UPDATE): This request has now hit 18 months in age, NO progress made thus far whatsoever. ( ) Update 4: This FR is now the 4th most liked post ON THE ENTIRE FORUM and the 3rd most liked FR ON THE ENTIRE FORUM (ever), the 1st most liked active FR ON THE ENTIRE FORUM and over 4000 views. Counting endorsements besides those on this thread show over 115 direct requests/endorsements for this basic functionality. Lets get this moving guys, this is getting to be a bit much. Almost 2 years waiting on this now. Source Update 5 (9/20/2017): This feature request is now the MOST DESIRED REQUEST EVER MADE TO EMBY, sadly, that has not merited any progress at all. The staff has been working on things they believe Emby users want or may want, but it is clear what people want. We can only hope now our wishes are respected instead of being told what we want and having our requests dismissed. Source Update 6 [2 year update] (10/17/2017): Two years and not a single bit of progress has been made. TWO YEARS!!! To say this is disappointing is an understatement. The entire reason I went from Plex to Emby was because of local user management. THIS IS THE ONLY REASON, so naturally I wanted to have complete control over my users, but after TWO YEARS, still nothing. Update 7 (3/6/2018): DEVELOPMENT HAS STARTED!!! Check Luke's recent comments, if you want to test it out, download the latest beta and install/configure the LDAP plugin to test and give feedback!!! Update 8 (4/6/2018): Development on the LDAP connector has completed from what I gather, not sure if this is only a beta or a primary release; SSO is still a plan for the future but has not been touched.

I also prefer the Emby for Android TV app on a TV screen VS the Emby for Android layout. The trailers are also not working for me with the Emby for Android TV app... V 2.1.23g Are you sunsetting the app?

One thing the streaming community hasn't done well is really create tools that allow us to simulate live TV well. I think the biggest reason that binging on Netflix (and Emby) is so popular is because you push a button and go. I'd like to see Emby create a "To Watch List" that basically allows you to sort shows into a specific order. When you watch that list, it will only play the most recent episode of each show in the list that premier inside that week. Lets pretend I made a DC TV Watch list, it would only play this weeks episode of Arrow, Flash, Legends, Supergirl and Gotham one after another. If an episode didn't premier that week, it gets skipped. Additionally, I'd like to see this system *ALSO* allow us to insert bumpers similar to Cartoon Network or Toonami. In the here and now, it would only insert bumpers between the series, but it would be nice if in the future, a system that allows some method for choosing the appropriate points between each act of an episode where bumpers could also be inserted. Bumpers would be a community thing to create, but inside the "to watch list", you'd choose what bumpers (if any) are used. Bumpers could even be surrounded by previews. Finally, another thought: while Emby already can pull Movie Trailers, it might be another cool future project if we could pull previews of related series not in the "To Watch List" and/or perhaps ones that aren't on your server that are similar to what you are watching. There's a lot of ideas in this post to digest and several should be their own project as part of this concept. Thoughts

We are not really even talking about the clients in any way/shape/form.. ALL the Client Applications support playing back HEVC already if used on modern hardware, Emby SERVER already supports streaming HEVC files to these EMBY clients, Emby Server already supports re-encoding existing files into HEVC copies to send to Emby clients. We just want TRANSCODING support, on the server.. that if I have HEVC Encoding Hardware existing in my server, to simply make it an OPTION to Transcode files into HEVC when its supported by the client, which for the vast majority of users consuming Emby via TV and/or Mobile Device should be extremely well supported on both ends, Client and Server by now.. Every TV streaming device and SmartPhone/Tablet that is not basically an antique has HEVC decoding hardware, Every respectable server that has hardware transcoding support likely has HEVC encoding hardware. Nobody is saying to make it HEVC only FFS.. If anything browser argument is great, this is a feature that sucks so bad in browsers people may PAY EMBY MONEY FOR CLIENTS IF THEY IMPLEMENT IT.. seems like anyone with any sense here would have had this done loooong ago.. Once it felt like Emby was leading on features and things, that time has passed.
