I setup my homescreen and then quickly copied the setting to all other users, so far no complaints. One additional setting is apparently incoming on an upcoming beta, where individual dynamic rows can either hide or show played items. For me this completes things as you can build a pseudo DVR home row for shows or episodes now that are your shows you can about via aperture or just favorites, and hide watched, while still allowing watched to show for other rows where hiding things would potentially break Top Pick ordering and numbered display. I am looking forward to that. Then I will jump back in on aperture updates and upgrades based on user feedback

Good news mate that one seems to be working I have a busy morning with work but I will run some more tests as soon as I catch up and report back.

Major release - Version 3.0.0.1. Download .dll here and full changelog: https://github.com/soderlund91/HomeScreenCompanion/releases/tag/v3.0.0.1 This release contains major updates, improvements and bug fixes. New name - Home Screen Companion Read why below. Warning No longer support for Emby server version 4.9.x.x. Requires 4.10+ How to update from AutoTag (Optional/Recommended) Download a backup from the plugins settings menu Download HomeScreenCompanion.dll and put it in your /plugins folder. Remove AutoTag.dll from /plugins folder Restart Emby (Optional) If everything has migrated well you can remove AutoTag.xml.old from /plugins/configurations folder _____________________________________ New Home Screen manager: Added a new function that copies the home screen sections from a selected user to others. You no longer need to manually edit the home screen for multiple users. For example, if you create a tag or collection that you want to show on the home screen, you now only need to set it up for one user and then automatically copy it to all selected users in one go. Unlike Emby’s built-in copy function, this only copies the home screen sections. Improvements Local media information: Added ability to match with "NOT" logic. For example, you can filter movies that do not speak English. Local media information: Added an info popup with help to understand the symbols for equal, greater etc. Schedule override: Added ability to override a tag/collection based on schedule. Example: if you use the tag "spotlight", but for Halloween you want that to override during October and also use the tag "spotlight". Then the ordinary spotlight tag will become inactive, and only the Halloween one will get the tag spotlight. (If multiple overrides are used at the same time and for the same tag, they will be combined) Emby's scheduled tasks: Moved the tasks from "Library" into a separate Home Screen Companion title Fixes: Collection images: Uploaded images are now deleted when unused. Bug fix: Fixed a bug where you could select a non-existing date in the recurring schedule, for example Feb 31. v3.0.0.1: fixed a bug for home screen copy if the source and copy to was the same. Now prevented _____________________________________________________ Why change the name? What started as a simple script to add tags from an external list has grown into much more. The plugin is now also used to create collections, and a "smart playlist" feature has been implemented using local media information. The idea behind this plugin was originally to create tags to use in conjunction with Emby’s new Home Screen Sections. I mainly build this plugin for my own needs. My goal is to have a plugin that helps manage and automate the home screen as much as possible. Now that I’m adding the ability to actually manage the home screen directly, I feel that the original name no longer describes the plugin accurately. It's still the same plugin, just with more and more functionality being added. However, it is evolving into a companion for managing the home screen — hence the name. HomeScreenCompanion.dll

Resolve this in the easiest and most efficient way possible, please.

Subtitles on DVDs (and BDs) are graphical overlays - so what you see is what you get. No font files are involved. Paul

Thanks! Not a problem for me!

Using multiple servers

All you have to do is edit the metadata for the movies to indicate where within the seasons you want them to show (though frankly I wouldn't do that for the Inuyasha movies, as they are not part of the continuing story of the main series). They will also still show in the Specials section, but you can ignore that. Paul

Schau Mal heir auch. Es gibt vielen moglichkeiten, aber nur fur Web https://emby.media/community/forum/144-web-app-css/

OK that makes sense. I can either cast from my phone as that works fine or use the ATV app amd live with the transcoding. Thanks!

Okay, I figured it was something like this. The video profile (High 10) is not supported on the device. The standard app may be attempting to use ffmpeg to render it and the CPU just can't quite handle that.

Correct (I think). Emby only adds them into the Emby database for certain fields, if MusicBrainz fetchers are enabled for that library. Emby will also import the embedded ones that are there already. Depending on where your Music came from in the first place, there could be incorrect embedded MusicBrainz tags or other rogue tags that don't show up in the default Mp3tag views - therefore always check Extended Tags!!! It's easy enough to add MusicBrainz tags using MusicBrainz as a Tag source in Mp3tag (or via Picard), but also easy to mess it up!!! BTW, I'm more than happy to bypass the KP explorations too!!!

+1 for 2FA for the admin account

Thanks, it seems I've solved it by clearing the DNS cache.

Sorry I don’t know how to help you specifically but there’s a number of posts today about strange coincidences. Maybe it’s something in windows possibly, my server locked up randomly today and I had a red bar error in my apps for the first time ever. Luckily I was able to restart the emby server instance. Hope you get to the bottom of it.

Would love to see this as well. In my mind this should be two-fold. Global setting per library, and the ability for users to overwrite their own personal preference per library in the same way as they choose their default landing page per library.

In the process of trying to upgrade my server version I think I accidentally nuked my server (was running it in Synology's Container Manager and I'm not that familiar with docker), so I guess this post isn't relevant anymore - is there a way for me to delete or close this? On the bright side it seems like the Anime plugin installed fine and is working now, so maybe it was some sort of version compatibility thing (interesting that on server version 4.9.3.0, I now also see Anime plugin version 1.6.1)

The browser video player is not as robust as what we're able to embed in our android app, so you'll see more server transcoding if you were to do this.

The Direct Steam Live TV toggle now works, and the interlaced content is transcoding fine. Build 4.1.54 seems to have fixed this.

Hi everyone I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Aether — a modern Emby client built specifically for people who care about direct play, quality, and control. Aether The Definitive Direct-Play Experience for Emby Platforms: Windows, Android TV License: MIT Source: https://github.com/DanielVNZ/Aether What is Aether? Aether is a community first Emby media player. It is designed to avoid server-side transcoding entirely wherever possible and always request original streams, delivering the highest possible audio and video fidelity. If your server is already set up correctly and your media is well-encoded, Aether aims to get completely out of the way and just play it — cleanly and efficiently. Key Features Premium Experience Modern UI/UX Built with React, featuring smooth transitions designed for both desktop mouse use and the “10-foot” couch experience (…mostly still work to do on d-pad navigation). Dynamic Home Screen Continue Watching and personalised recommendations synced directly with your Emby account. (optional TMDB API key, also builds recommendations from your watch history) Technical Focus Direct Play First No forced transcoding, no unnecessary quality loss. Aether explicitly requests original streams whenever possible. Stats for Nerds Real-time playback stats including bitrate, resolution, codec info, and buffering health. Rust-Powered Desktop/Android TV App Built with Tauri, giving lightweight, secure, and fast native Windows builds without the Electron bloat. Current State This is still early-stage and under active development. There will be rough edges, and some features are still evolving — but the core playback and navigation goals are already in place. Feedback Welcome I’d really appreciate: Feedback from Emby power users Bug reports Feature requests Anyone interested in contributing Repo & docs are here: https://github.com/DanielVNZ/Aether

Yes, that gave sound with (software decode) in nerd info instead of (direct)

+1 for ability to globally set a default sort order. In my use case for my music library, I would like the default sorting to be by release date, instead of title. Is there a way to do this now by editing a specific js file, just as a temp workaround until full implementation?

You had me at Android TV, but lost me at Windows. BTW, this isn't a "community first Emby media player", as the first Android TV app was by a contributor, and they created a 2nd one as well, called TIAMAT. I'll come back if/when you get back on the Android TV route again. Thanks.

@Luke has something changed in emby? I have noticed a few posts like this now, I know originally if you did a full meta reload for an item the chapters would be reset but has that been changed to reset chapters on any meta reload? short answer is no. longer answer is possible but probably not going to happen, because emby has no chapter search functions you would need to load ALL media file chapter info on the server into a new DB for all chapter info, add a way to keep this updated and in sync and then add search capabilities so you could look up the chapters that fit your requirements...see short answer. This is probably doable, a little risky but doable. You would need to walk through ALL the files that fit your criteria and apply the create chapters. It also might be possible to add a trigger to process newly added items. There is an example in the code for this already for the existing intro scan action. there are probably options for saving and restoring chapter data. I looked into a few options but stopped, read more below. History and Future: This plugin was meant to me a stop gap fix for a missing feature in Emby. Years ago we had a group of users working on ways to detect intro segments in episodes, this work tried a bunch of different approaches and eventually found a reasonable solution of using Audio finger prints of intro music to detect intros. This works well enough and a few plugs and variations of the approach were produced, this plugin being one. At the time there was no way of viewing or editing the chapter data that was being to to hold this new intro skip data that was being detected so I added a feature to my intro detection plugin to allow users to view and edit chapters manually. As time went by the core Emby system added one of the more automated approaches for intro detection into its core feature set. And one of the plugins that was using that approach was removed from the plugins and effectively disappeared. We were also told as this time that Emby was adding this core intro detect feature and also a bunch of chapter editing features and that ALL the intro and chapter plugins would no longer be needed. And it is true the core Emby now has a intro detection system, but Emby never added any chapter editing or viewing features into its core feature set. I kept this plugin going as I believe my approach to intro detection was a valid alternative (uses a library of into audio fingerprints instead of having to actively scan for similar audio segments). And also this meant the Chapter view/edit features was still available in this plugin. I was assured by the Emby team that the core Emby chapter editing and viewing tools were coming soon and any work I did on them in this plugin would be redundant in short time so I never added or enhanced the plugin. Now years later and with no sign of any chapter editing or viewing in the core emby system this plugin is still the only solution most users have or viewing and editing chapters. I have no idea what happened to the core emby team, not sure if they are still there, I see comments from some of them from time to time but it is really quiet on the dev side. And I guess if any of them see this they will respond with what about X Y Z feature we just added and it is true some stuff is changing and being added but fundamental core features that are obviously need like a chapter editor and better chapter management is just ignored and I don't have any idea why. Anyway this has turned into more of a rant than anything, sorry about that. Short answer is this plugin was meant to be temporary until Emby actual had this functionality, I have no idea when that is going to happen though.

The wait is over! We are excited to announce public availability of the new Emby Linux app beta program. Why a Native Linux App? While Emby’s web app works well across platforms, there are limits to what a browser-based player can achieve, especially when it comes to modern video and audio playback. The Linux app was created to go beyond those limits. At the core of this decision is one simple goal: BEST IN CLASS VIDEO PLAYBACK. Browsers continue to improve, but they inevitably lag behind native applications when it comes to advanced video technologies, hardware acceleration, and reliable fullscreen playback. Emby users expect smooth, high-quality playback — and delivering that consistently requires a native application. Benefits Over the Web Player The new Linux app provides several advantages over watching through a browser: More reliable video playback with fewer browser-related limitations Better performance and lower system overhead Improved full screen behavior across Linux desktop environments Direct integration with native video playback technologies A cleaner, distraction free viewing experience By separating video playback from the browser entirely, the app is able to take full advantage of the system and deliver a smoother experience. Designed for Linux Desktops The Emby Linux app is built to feel at home on Linux. It works across major Linux environments . The result is a modern Emby experience that’s faster, more consistent, and purpose built for Linux users. Available Now The new Emby Linux Beta app is now available and we are waiting for your feedback! Want to get started right away? Head on over to the beta instructions page for more!

Has this plug-in been published in the Catalog? I don't see it. Thanks.

Subs should be embedded in the container. Stop being lazy. MKV is currently the superior container. Everyone should be using it. There are plenty of tools to automate this. Get with the times people.

QUANDO O EMBY VAI TER ESSES RECURSOS, E OS MODELOS DE SEPARAÇÃO IGUAIS AO XSPF, LOGO CND's MAIS ROBUSTOS. QUANDO O EMBY VAIS SER PARCEIRO DOS GRANDES CDNS. E O PLUGUINS IPTV, NÃO CONSIGO CONECTAR NADA, ELE SEMPRE DA ERROS. O QUE TENHO QUE FAZER PARA ESSE PLUGUIM PEGAR PERFEITAMENTE. Quando o Emby terá esses recursos e modelos de divisão semelhantes ao XSPF, resultando em CDNs mais robustos? Quando a Emby firmará parcerias com os principais players do mercado? E o plugin de IPTV, não consigo conectar nada, sempre dá erro. O que é preciso fazer para que este plugin funcione perfeitamente?

Proposta de Integração: Suporte Avançado a Streams HTTPS e XSPF O Emby atualmente apresenta limitações críticas ao lidar com listas no formato XSPF e protocolos HTTPS com final .ts, o que resulta em falhas de reprodução, erros de segmentação e quebra no carregamento do EPG. Por que integrar ou suportar o IPTV Ultra? Compatibilidade de Protocolo: Diferente do motor padrão, essa integração permitiria a leitura fluida de fluxos HTTPS que hoje retornam erro no Emby. Organização Automática: O formato XSPF frequentemente falha na separação de categorias; uma ferramenta dedicada resolveria a hierarquia dos canais e a indexação do guia de programação. Estabilidade de Stream: O suporte direto a arquivos .ts via HTTPS garantiria que o buffer e a continuidade do sinal fossem mantidos, evitando fechamentos inesperados do app. A inclusão dessa funcionalidade (ou a capacidade de ler o motor do genap.studio/iptv-ultra) elevaria o Emby ao patamar de player universal, eliminando a necessidade de aplicativos externos para gerenciar listas complexas. Subject: Feature Request: Enhanced Support for HTTPS (.ts) and XSPF Playlist Integration Proposal: I would like to suggest a native integration or enhanced support for advanced IPTV engines, such as those found in IPTV Ultra (genap.studio), to improve how Emby handles specific streaming protocols and playlist formats. The Problem: Currently, Emby faces critical limitations when processing XSPF playlists and HTTPS streams ending in .ts. Users frequently encounter: Playback failures and segmentation errors. Inconsistent EPG (Electronic Program Guide) loading. Broken category organization within XSPF files. Why integrate or support an advanced engine like IPTV Ultra? Protocol Compatibility: It would allow seamless playback of HTTPS streams that currently return errors in Emby’s default player. Automated Organization: XSPF format often fails to display categories correctly. A dedicated integration would fix the channel hierarchy and guide indexing. Stream Stability: Direct support for .ts files via HTTPS would ensure better buffering and signal continuity, preventing unexpected app crashes. Conclusion: Adding this functionality (or the ability to utilize the engine from genap.studio/iptv-ultra) would elevate Emby to a truly universal player, eliminating the need for third-party apps to manage complex IPTV lists. att: CRISTIAN

E COMO CONECTAR A PARAMOUNTS, NETFLIX, GLOBOPLAY E CANAIS PAGOS DENTRO DO EMBY, COM SEUS APLICATIVOS COM MEU LOGIN E USAR DENTRO DO EMBY. And how do I connect Paramount, Netflix, Globoplay, and other pay-TV channels within Emby, using their apps with my login, and use them within Emby?
