What's stopping you?

Thanks for the response @user24it's been a huge help in pinpointing the cause. I attempted to re-tag the albums and noticed it fails to write tags to some tracks, and these are the exact same tracks that have problems in Emby.. So it seems some of the tracks are corrupt. I did a fresh rip today and everything is working as expected. Thanks again

Hey Luke! It's a mystery to me, but I simply turned off port fowarding on my router and turned it back on. It solved the problem. I'm not a "techie" so I consider this solution an accident. I'm happy! Thanks for your help and support. Enjoy your Emby! I know I will! - Joe

Review the link provided to you above, it will explain how it all works.

HI, apologies for the delay. We should have a server update out soon to resolve this. Thanks.

The app should have a subtitle offset option to temporarily fix issues like this in the future while a real fix is found. It has been 2 months of being unable to watch anything with subs

Just starting to get my hands wet w/ Emby themes and trying to design my own for once. Mostly used AI to help generate this but I feel it looks good so far but still a work in progress... Feel free to share any updates you make.. (Currently only works properly on the 4.9 Stable release.) Edit: Updated to fix backdrop bleeding. Emby Theme.css

Thanks for the prompt answer. Let's see how it goes.

Para aquellos que tuvieron acceso a mi servidor: Todavía tienes la aplicación Emby en tus televisores Samsung. Pero esta semana quise dar acceso a mi servidor a cuatro nuevos amigos a través de sus televisores Samsung. Y no encuentran disponible la aplicación Emby. Es la primera vez en dos años que veo que la aplicación Emby no aparece en un televisor Samsung.

Okay. I'll try that.

Hello, It looks like this problem has been forgotten. Any news related to a resolution ? Regards.

Hi folks, just revisiting this topic - a very nice to have feature that hopefully is in the backlog as a low hanging fruit on the UI.

That's not necessarily true; the redirect can simply tell the client to make the same request, but via https on port 443. It doesn't have to tell the client which name it should use, just 'use the same host+path, but with a different protocol+port'. In nginx that looks like: server{ listen 80 default_server; location / { return 301 https://$host$uri; } } Some browsers won't automatically try https, so if you don't provide a port 80 redirect and the user doesn't explicitly type https://, the client will only try 80 and fail to connect.

You should have a setting in user display setting.

*** UPDATE *** My Drive had filled up. After some thorough cleansing and compacting, I am back in business.

Thanks! This is by far the most important missing feature for me. Probably the only thing I really need that Emby doesn't already do. I specifically paid for Emby Premiere for the offline play capability, but without these advances, it's not really usable.

Copilot walked me through several solutions that finally solved the problem. It was a permission issue tied to how I had the share setup between the Nas and the pc.

Should be able to rig something together now that it has auto backup. It will require the backups as a database though. Old know it all mode engaged. Chromaprint is a files fingerprint that can be used to identify sounds

+1 for me, a cheap used Intel A380 would be a very compelling addition if AV1 HW encoding is implemented. FYI: AV1 playback works on macOS in Chrome and even Safari and with the Android app, I will add further working platforms I encounter. I would really appreciate honest documentation what potentially works depending on device rather than straight-up denying it exists.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there are any plans to update the Emby app on Android TV.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of that, my issue is solved!

Sorry, my bad... It seems I had not set the default subtitle language the last time I reinstalled Coreelec... As you said, I set it up, restarted Kodi and it worked! Sorry. Thanks!!!

I might have come up with an idea that could work but i need you to explain precisely what it is you want. Explain it like i'm 5 years old, just so i don't misunderstand as i can be a bit thick at times.

Quick Start the host / server you installed on your own hardware. Emby is not a streaming service....

New PUBLIC TESTING version available 12.4.15: Delta changelog 12.4.14 -> 12.4.15 fix theme play bug fix remove multiversion episode fix specials sync

The BBC essential list gives you a list of roughly 10 movies & shows that are coming up in the next month.

Hi, not yet, but this is something we are still planning on. Thanks.

Seems to do the tick Luke.

I know this is an old thread but I’d love to have this feature. I’ve got friends using my Emby and one uses it for kid shows for her children. So it’s downloading 10+ episodes a day, many of which I don’t care for. It completely blocks to my latest episode chart, so I mission of new shows that I’ve set to download because I don’t see them.

If its a known issue, then why does it allow me to use the word "emby" for my server name?, it should have given a warning or just stated it was not allowed Instead it accepted my server name without complaint and then I spend hours trying to figure out why the server name is not showing up correctly on the login page!

Hi, from your screenshots, it appears that the individual songs are being scanned into Emby (e.g. 05. Paramore - When It Rains.flac) and appearing, but not being combined into the required Album. Is this what is happening? According to Emby documentation, for Songs to be combined into Albums, they must have the same Album name and the same Album Artist name in the embedded metadata of the individual files: https://emby.media/support/articles/Music-Naming.html What does the Emby metadata editor show for an individual problem song? Have you used a music tagging program (e.g. Mp3tag) to check your embedded metadata? If not, this is a good way to check and correct any anomalies. If you are just making the changes in Emby (to your database) and not your embedded metadata (in the files themselves) then Emby will just re-import the incorrect correct values and any problems will persist. Another tip: if using Mp3tag: Also check the Extended Tags setting, not just the default LHS tag panel. Let us know if this helps or not? Cheers!

Global search?

The ATV app has received a lot of recent updates, but you'll need to either side-load or sign up for the beta. See here:

Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) is a pretty easy way to get started with SNI since it has a web GUI for configuration.

Just so you know, I also got rid of all the plugins and now I'm just using the basic stuff that came with the beta, which fixed everything except for that recording aspect ratio issue.

Quick bug fix (v2.3.5) up at yocksers/EmbyCredit Github- Fixed problem with backups.

There is a new bug fix out for this version!!! ----- New version out (v2.3.4) at yocksers/EmbyCredits Github. Added: Plugin now checks when a video has changed and sees if the time stamps are still there and if not restore them if they are present in the backup files. This feature can be turned on and off. This has been made to fix the problem of Emby sometimes deleting time stamps. Added a Chapter edit function, this can be found in the Chaper Edit tab. This was heavily inspired by Teams B Chapter API so a special thanks to him! Added an automatic skip intro blocker. When activated for a series it will stop intros from being automatically skipped if configured in Emby. This is for is people want to automatically skip some intros but not others. Changed: Backup system has been changed to save files per TV show instead of one big backup file. This was done for user friendliness but also to make the auto restore system work better. Fixed: Minor bug fixes that should not be noticeable to users. Special thanks as always to @Neminemfor help with the plugin. @spk2010@DarWunI finished and added the "fix" to Emby deleting the time stamps. Hopefully this will fix all the problems with Emby doing that until the devs look into the problem.

Automating the scanning and attempts to breach reduce the level of effort to nothing. There's no inherent security in port values and trying to obfuscate the port doesn't add security. Once the server responds to a request then the application will be known immediately. You'd be better off adding Emby to the background noise by using a well known port (443) than trying to isolate it to a range that may confuse users, if you have any. If someone wants to secure their server then proven methods are better than obscurity. TLS is the most basic and facilitates others. A reverse proxy has become a must have. Enable SNI (many do by default) so that IP based requests are rejected. Enable IP geo-blocking. You can continue up the chain with IDS/IPS and more complex and robust measures. It all depends on the level of effort you want to invest and of course knowledge. A reverse proxy with SNI may be a good stopping point for most.

Hi, we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

Please add a feature that shows the song used in a movie, Could maybe be shown below the actors.

Someone added already the anime to the site thetvdb, but in case it is still relevant, I had entered in different search tries - the chinese name 驭灵师 to the title field - the id 280095 to the TheMovieDb Id field which both resulted in returning a single search result that was correct but when applied it used a gorden ramsay series. Now it will find the correct list even when entered B.King as title and identify works as intended.

Following this, +1!

At least an official statement regarding the bug and its fix is needed. They said it would be fixed a month ago, and nothing has been done since. LG users are constantly experiencing problems; sometimes we feel abandoned.

I'm still having the same issue after the LG .50 update. It no longer has the strange characters in the subs but they're still positioned in the top left corner and it's putting most of it off screen

Hi, we are still working on it. Thanks.

+1 By the way, on my LG TV, I can use Channel Up Down button to scroll through the list, a little bit quicker than going down one by one. But the long list is still annoying

My plans worked out great, but my first run didn't work as expected ... explanation follows. After manually updating my database to protect the Name, Original Title, and Sort Name fields, I ran a 'Refresh Metadata -> Search for missing metadata' operation . However, it didn't update people images as I had hoped. My problem was that I backup and metadata into NFO files using the NFO saver feature. Since I just rebuilt my database from those NFO files, I still had the 'NFO Reader' setting enabled for metadata. All of my NFO files had the 'lockeddata' field set to true and the NFO Loader / NFO file setting seem to take precedence over other settings. Furthermore, I didn't even know that there was a 'lockedfields' tag in the NFO file ... so my NFO files were inconsistent with my database. Anyway, after running my first attempt, all MediaItem locks were BACK to where they were when I started. The entire MediaItem was locked and the Name, Original Title, and Sort Name were back to being unlocked. This pass didn't work but at least it didn't destroy my metadata. TAKE 2 After a few minutes, I quickly realized what had happened and developed a new plan: shut down Emby backup my database (library.db file) open the library.db in a DB editor run an SQL query to set the 'LockedFields' to 'Name|OriginalTitle|SortName' For anyone looking to run a query, all MediaItems that are in Libraries with a 'Content Type' of 'Movies' are of 'type' '5' in the DB. UPDATE MediaItems SET IsLocked=0, LockedFields='Name|OriginalTitle|SortName' WHERE type=5; run an SQL query to set the 'IsLocked' field to 0 for all movies (included in above) delete the library.db-shm and library.db-wal restart Emby in my Library settings, DISABLE the NFO 'Metadata Readers' setting run 'Refresh Metadata -> Search for missing metadata' for the entire library This refresh took about 12 hours to complete but WORKED GREAT. All people images and metadata were downloaded as desired. My existing metadata hasn't changed. Most importantly (for me) my 'Name', 'Original Title', and 'Sort Name' fields are still locked and unchanged. FINAL STEP I prefer to keep my metadata locked at all times, so I have one final step to complete -- re-lock ALL metadata. This process is a bit different since I don't want to run another refresh but I DO want my database and my NFO files to be consistent. Furthermore, Emby doesn't currently have any UI element that will let me set the "Lock this item to prevent future changes" for all items in a Library at once. I REALLY don't want to set them individually. Here's the plan: shut down Emby backup my database again (library.db file) open the library.db in a DB editor run an SQL query to set the 'IsLocked' field to 1 for all movies UPDATE MediaItems SET IsLocked=1 WHERE type=5; delete the library.db-shm and library.db-wal from within my 'Movies' directory, run the following terminal command to manually adjust my NFO files and make them consistent with my manually modified DB find . -type f -name '*.nfo' | while read n; do sed -e 's/<lockdata>\(F\|f\)alse/<lockdata>true/' -i "$n" ; done ; restart Emby celebrate and watch a movie

I feel your pain, bud, going through same penance.

This is the one feature that I'm looking forward to being solved the most. It's super annoying, not only because of the long scrolling itself, but also because my wife will hound me about it when she's watching her shows. Sometimes the downloaded subtitle will not match the media content, and for some reason she doesn't have much sympathy for my explanation that the Emby team has a lot of other difficult things to solve, but I'm sure they'll find a solution eventually!

Okay, that's an interesting idea but perhaps it would just be better if we remembered ones you chose previously because you may automatically download a certain set but manually look for others. The very first time you'd have to scroll the list but, after that, the ones you chose would be right there.
