Yes they should,

No worries, it's annoying when things don't work out how you plan! I thought that was your editor but wanted to check. As for the M3U items, for some reason your editor is transposing the EPG-ID into the channel name, I imagine there must be some option or setting within your editor as I don't understand why anyone would want that by default. Here is mine for comparison.. #EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="101" tvg-name="BBC 1 4K" tvg-logo="http://192.168.x.x:9191/api/channels/logos/431614/cache/" tvg-chno="101" group-title="General",BBC 1 4K I've tried a number of different editors and I've given up on them, they all have some sort of limitation for what I want. If you have the skills and machine resources to run docker images, then I would recommend 'Dispatcharr'. It's free, will be hosted locally, and will let you customise and automate your M3U setup. Dispatcharr is meant to be used a proxy for emby but you don't have to run it that way but there some benefits. The Dispatcharr model is you have to manually create Channels out of the streams you have. So a one time activity is to create a BBC One channel and add a stream to it. The best bit is you can add multiple BBC One streams to the same channel and they will operate as a automatic backup (only if you use Dispatcharr as a proxy). This way you can name the channels exactly how you want, set icons for them, and even link an EPG to the channels. You then point emby to your dispatcharr instance for the M3U and EPG. But you can be flexible and use the Emby EPG if you wanted or mix and match.

Okay yes from the perspective of "upgrade" with a different file name - yes that would be considered a new addition, otherwise straight replacing the file with the same name would just trigger a metadata refresh.

Thanks for the kind words! Truly, that made me happy to read You are spot on with the AI, it is very useful but I absolutely don’t want to make it intrusive or give away sensitive information. You are correct regarding music and music videos. Nothing I use myself so I haven’t really thought about it. When this plugin has reach a mature state (which it almost is now) that might be a thing to add support for as well.

I am signing up for emby! So excited!!

I made a test instance of Emby to have a look at the plugin, and I must say it is NICE. VERY NICE. Excellent work. Not really a fan of the AI craze but your ideas seems to be quite useful and non intrusive. Could be a nice addition to suggested videos. I must have over looked it, but the plugin does not seem to handle music videos at all. Did I miss something? I also have to say thanks for the detailed write ups. They have made the plugin easier to understand and also make your intent for each feature very clear. I, and I suspect others, are truly grateful for that. A Million thanks, LongMan

I'm still waiting for the plugin update to get into the catalog. It's idiotic to continue providing updates as dl in the forums while the version in the catalog is largely unusable..

Oooookay, Im betting that's probably why TL was part of the equation. I follow, yeah I think I may stick to your route since MOST of my library is as good as its gonna get by now, I dont expect the updated files will be terribly frequent. Thank you both!

No. Emby is currently not aware of the concept of "updated" item - it's either existing item or a new item. You can always save NFOs with media (and rename it accordingly upon "updated" movie file moved to relevant movie folder), so all metadata (including original Date Added which'll be honored ) will be preserved.

It is. Why did you install it in the first place (as it is not one of the default plugins that come with the vanilla server), what were you hoping to achieve?

That is not feasible, each filename change will result in Emby seeing that item as newly added (if you save NFOs with media, all metadata will be retained - including original Date Added, which'll be honored for renamed file, just rename the NFO accordingly).

No, no, no—you don't understand the current setup of DIY enthusiasts. At least in my circle, everyone is using at least an N100 chip as the CPU for their NAS. By next year, the minimum will be an N150. And when it comes to transcoding, it's only needed for one or two devices (for family viewing). For us, the computing power is more than enough. The real issue is that hard drives are too expensive. Most NAS enthusiasts in our community use used hard drives for their media libraries—at about a third of the market price. With hard drive prices having risen so much, we're barely buying any new ones. But we don't want to sacrifice our poster walls. So real-time transcoding performance isn't really a bottleneck—the problem is the playback device's frame rate. As for TV boxes, we're using high-performance ones like Apple TV or Google TV. It's just that the displays themselves are relatively old. In our country, installation services for large appliances are very expensive—around $300. So we prefer to upgrade small electronic devices ourselves to get the best experience, and only replace the large appliances when they break down or reach the end of their lifespan.

I would recommend Zootopia 2 (2025) at minimum - others like putting the tmdb id in the folder name for easier identification as well.

@quickmic @Luke I am absolutely certain this is a bug in the Emby Server. When local ISO files are added to the library, they are missing the "RunTimeTicks" field. Furthermore, the server ignores this field when clients send playback progress updates. Since Emby Server relies on both the total runtime and the current playback position to calculate playback progress, the absence of a total runtime causes the server to erroneously mark the item directly as "Played". This issue is not isolated to the Emby Next Gen client; it can easily be reproduced using the official iPhone client as well. The fix should be very simple: similar to how remote items are handled, the server simply needs to stop ignoring the total runtime sent by the client during playback progress syncs. For the record, my tests were conducted using the latest versions of the Emby Server, the official iPhone client, and the Emby-Next-Gen addon as of right now.

Yep custom tab control is still needed.

Downloading subtitles in the TV app is very annoying, you have move one by one until you go to the language you are looking for and in the TV the switching interface is very slow. wanted to suggest a better way to display the language menu for the TV app, because you use a tv controller and there is no scrolling. I did an example for a better understanding, in the preferred part I put the languages that are set in the server to automatically download. When I want to download subtitles I avoid the TV app, I rather use the phone or the Ipad because unlike the TV app, you can scroll fast and go directly to the language you want.

I must say I am also very satisfied. 4K works, live TV with the TVH plugin works. No crashes. Very good work.

I was just listening to my playlist and wondering which song was currently playing. Can you spot it? It would be nice if this would be much clearer, for example: Also the white animated gif is very unclear. Perhaps adding some (black) borders around the bars or turning it into a svg with transitions so it can be changed during runtime?

And sometimes the animation won't show at all, like if you browse out then back.

Currently running server v4.9.1.90 When a user account is disabled and that user attempts to login, the user is given a pretty generic '403 forbidden' message and the attempt is reflected in the log file: 2025-11-22 22:32:58.038 Info UserManager: Authentication request for Test has succeeded. 2025-11-22 22:32:58.040 Error UserService-0HNH99HCGIG29:00000001: User Test is currently disabled. 2025-11-22 22:32:58.040 Info UserService-0HNH99HCGIG29:00000001: http/1.1 Response 403 to host1 Time: 10ms. POST http://host0/emby/Users/authenticatebyname?..... However there is no indication of this in the server dashboard. Nothing in 'alerts' nor in 'activity'. Can we add an alert, noting it as a failed login attempt (for notification purposes), or even as a separate event with its own notification options?

@softworkzis there a roadmap at all? I'm having to use both Jellyfin and emby at the moment but would love to just migrate to just Emby.

For you - it is a bug. For the others - it ain't, as it is by design (and has always been so). As already said:

There are already two entry points to desired landing tab for any library (My Media and sidebar), I prefer header click as-is, linking to Suggestions, mostly for content discovery.

They are two separate option per home screen and the latest headers should not just go to the library as the library is usually never sorted that way. My Media options will always be different then Latest Rows options.

Well the Latest Rows have always been Suggestions as that is how the page is sorted ie Latest/Release date. And Library entries will be per your home screen landing page setting.

It has always been like that, header click opening Suggestions page for both Movies and Tv Shows content-type libraries. You are welcome to open a Feature Request topic in respective forum section. Feature Requests - Emby Community
