Since the service is not selfhosted I will not use it. Giving out my Emby login, password, api key and External IP / domain to a external service is not for me. What happens if the external service gets hacked? Or all my info is sold to highest bet?

Unless I'm being a bit blind (highly possible!), I'd love a way to hide a couple of the top green navigation items without hacking it in myself. For example, in Movies I don't want the 'Trailers' item to appear for any profile and for TV I don't need the 'Upcoming' nav link. Obviously not a major issue but thought it would be a nice thing to have, perhaps allowing them to be re-ordered like the home page items but again just a nice extra,

Hi, we are working on an updated ffmpeg that should be in the server beta channel in the near future. Thanks.

Here is my take on a watch party plugin. yocksers/WatchParty-for-Emby - Github The way it works is that you choose a movie, what people to join and how syncing should work. The plugin makes a STRM file in a library chosen in the settings (i recommend making a separate library for this!!) User starting that file will be synced together. There are extra configurations that can be set to customize it more. There is also an external webpage where users can add more watch parties without having to have admin access to Emby, this can be configured to have a custom password for security reasons. This webpage needs to be binding correctly in the docker version of Emby. In Windows version of Emby you might need to run "netsh http add urlacl url=http://*:8097/ user="Everyone" to give permission in the firewall. This webpage also has a dedicated chat for each watch party. How to create watch party: Choose movie and what library to place the STRM file in: Set users as master: And then press create watch party. The movie should now show in the configured library and when the amount of people configured have joined it will start. Please report any problems and ideas for the plugin either in here or to me in a private message. Latest version can be downloaded at: yocksers/WatchParty-for-Emby Github. Lastly: If this plugin doesn't fir your needs then i encourage everyone to also look at the Watch Party solution that Oratorian made!! It's well made and might fit your needs better.

HI, yes we are looking into it. Thanks.

Odd indeed that it works from the start menu and not from the desktop shortcut it makes, back to square one.

While you may be correct, we have no way of verifying that.

Hi, Presently all the main music Menu Tabs (apart from Suggestions) show a useful Items Count to the LHS of the Play button (1888 Items example shown below): To find the individual counts for the Songs/Albums of a specific Album Artist/Artist/Composer currently takes a couple more ‘clicks’ to get to the relevant page(s). This is quite ok for looking up something specific on a few occasions, but not as nice for continuous top-level browsing through a music library category. If the Songs/Albums item counts were added as options to the “Show Fields” edit settings, for Album Artists/Artists/Composers, then this would show the info nicely for anyone wanting to view it more readily. (I would use an Albums Count as a permanently selected option, but others may like to see the Songs Count?) Anyone not wanting this info displayed below the images would not select the respective option(s), similarly to the current setup. Here is an example showing the Album Artist Title and Albums Count on the main Album Artist summary page: Adding these options would be a great improvement, giving more useful functionality with music viewing. Thanks for considering.

Well, I've recently figured out a way to get this working, for the Albums Count, by repurposing the AlbumArtist Community Rating field in the metadata editor: Manually add the AlbumArtist Albums Count, divided by 10, to the Community Rating (because the allowable range is 0.1 to 10). Use CSS to change the rating star color to yellow (or, if wanted, whatever color you want). Use JavaScript to multiply by 10, to get back to the correct Albums Count, and append "Album" or "Albums" text. This all sounds a bit convoluted, but it's easier to do than what it sounds like! Sorted by Title (ascending) shows tthis: Sorted by Community Rating (descending) shows this: An added bonus is the Albums Count also shows at the top of the AlbumArtist individual pages - and it can be made 'clickable'!!! A minor downside is the Albums Count is static and must be manually updated. So, it took a little bit of time for the initial data entry, and I need to remember to update it when I add new albums - not a showstopper though and I haven't reached 100 Albums for anyone just yet! Other ideas to try when I get time: UseJavascript to fetch the Album Counts from the API and dynamically add them to the Community Rating field. Determine if another field can be repurposed for Songs Counts - but there doesn't seem to be many options??? So far, the concept has at least been proven workable and it is very useful! Of course, a native Emby solution would be even better!!!

The Images look really cool. Just don‘t get why I have to have a google email adress and why that is needed ?

From the same device: Testing with Emby Android client 3.5.30 --> Caddy --> Emby Server 4.9.30 HTTP/3 is never used Testing with Chrome --> Caddy --> Emby Server 4.9.30 HTTP/3 work perfectly for browsing and video streams So it seems some work still needs to be done on the client side to enable HTTP/3 support

Hi, As a new Emby user, I set up a server for my family and relatives. To practically track whether users like or dislike the content they watch, and to free up space by removing unwanted content, I implemented a simple method using playlists. Method I created two separate playlists for each user: Liked Disliked I asked users to evaluate the movies they watch by adding them to these playlists. How It Works Users add the movies they watch to these playlists I can see all playlists Users can only view the playlists I allow They cannot edit others’ playlists (only manage their own) If needed, I can allow certain users to view each other’s playlists I made my own “Liked / Disliked” playlists visible to all users, so they can also see my recommendations.

Ah, I see. I didn't check that when I put them there or when I had the trailers. thanks for getting back to me. I will split this out even if it isn't really what i wanted. I guess i can duplicate the extras out to each folder. The trailers folder had 1 trailer for each movie, so i can split that. Thanks again for helping me out on this, you have been really helpful to me on each of my issues i have had.

OK we are looking at it. Thanks.

Hi, we’ll have a new server release out soon to resolve this. Thanks.

Ideally they should only have images from the library, so there’s room for improvement there.

OK, I smash the start button and type "Emby" and it will open. If I smash the start button, type in "Emby" and the right click on Emby, create a shortcut then "Windows cant create s shortcut here Do you want the shortcut placed on the desktop instead?" and thats what i want anyways so I say yes. That shortcut it creates fails to open Emby. The path it calls out is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Start10\Launch.exe" /EmbyMedia.EmbyTheater_svmepx4c03f7m!App. Start 10 is a start menu app for the old folks. What is the correct path? Thanks again

The OP has missed the first layer. How about starting with TLS (SSL)? Without this, everything is being sent as plain text!

Hello, I created these visuals for my own use, and I’m sharing the link for anyone who would like to use them. The visuals are designed for the “My Media” categories on the Emby Home page. You can edit them for free on Canva and customize the categories and colors as you wish. Canva Link

Try this version, it should handle larger number of items better: playlist_row.js

@Neminemhas been so kind as to help replicate the problem @spk2010has. If no misunderstanding has happened, it look like Embys skip system might have problems sometimes when fast forwarding to many times to fast or resuming a video mid video. It's unrelated to this plugin and does not change the metadata/time stamps of the video and going back and restarting the video usually fixes it. Refreshing metadata, doing rescans and other things can and will in most cases remove the time stamps though, the auto-restore function is made to fix that and is in beta atm.

Hello same issue i guess. I hope it will solve soon. Apparently lastest beta did not, so i am afraid there is no solution yet

Arf dommage, j'ai du mal à blairer Python, je t'aurais aidé avec plaisir si tu faisais en php Après si t'as un problème (t'arrives pas à debug des API ou autre) n'hésite pas quand même (je suis dev)

I can't remember what thread it's in, but a whole ago I made a comment about links bring displayed on a TV - if their can be done instead of this, at least then with current plugins we could add a YouTube link and open that way instead

An A310 is on the way, can also HW decode AV1 and can potentially serve higher bitrate than source AV1 H.265 to non-AV1 clients.

I DMed you one about the controller not working on a fresh start of the app, the most outrageous one that happens every time on two Xbox One S.

J'ai supprimé Simkl et Trakt. J'ai relancé le serveur et je vais juste remettre trackt. Mais depuis que j'ai supprimé la m3u, plus de souci. Mon ouverture de bibliothèque est de nouveau instantanée. ;o). Je reste en moyenne à 1gio de RAM utilisée Pour trakt, pourtant j'ai l'abo VIP premium... Je vais voir si j'ai toujours des erreurs après l'avoir réinstallé. Merci en tout cas. et bonne journée

*update* its been running for over a week now and everything has stayed in place. now just going to add new files and see how that goes

Yeah, a reddit user suggested ChatGPT, and the AI overlord has granted the wish. The TV was updated and it deleted all known servers/credentials. All i had to do in the end was to manually input the complete url into the app for it to find it again. We can close that thread. Thanks

I cannot fathom how someone can suggest, that the preferred fix is to (manually or with scripting) demux, alter and remux every single video file that we have and will ever acquire in the future. That is not happening, and I will be moving to Jellyfin or Plex within the week if this isn't fixed by then. I can't watch anything, unless I set it to transcode, which breaks HDR for most files, and besides my server hardware is simply not beefy enough to transcode 4K HDR with subtitle burn-in on top. With so much of the good content coming out having non-English speaking roles or such a terrible audio mix that you can't hear what is said half the time, subtitles are critical for the viewing experience. Waiting months for functioning subtitles is crazy for a media server service, regardless of whether it's LG or Emby that is at fault. FYI: I haven't updated my TV since I installed the last version, so it has to be Emby that has messed something up. I always update the TV and Emby app at the same time precisely for this reason.

It works perfectly on Emby 4.9.1.80; the problem isn't with our LG TVs, but with Emby itself—it's the server version or the LG app. Luke said a month ago that they were preparing a new server version that would fix this, so they're already implying that it's not a problem with LG TVs but with the Emby server. And no, we're not going to use third-party software to extract subtitles or change the format. That's why we're using Emby, so it can automatically manage all of that. I don't know about the others, but some of us have more than 5,000 files (mostly in original version with subtitles), and we're not going to do that one by one. This problem has been going on for two months now, and if a solution isn't offered, LG users will have to consider migrating to another platform, because this is a significant issue, and LG users keep experiencing playback problems.

Hi, this has been identified as an issue in the server and we’ll be getting an update out soon to resolve it. Thanks.

I've recently moved from Plex to Emby (a few months in and my experience is so much better). I love using unified graphics with my media, Posters with logos at the bottom, 4k overlays and matching collection posters etc. TV Network logos was something new for me with Emby so I've created these unified logos. If any one is interested I'll zip them up and host somewhere, also happy to take requests to add more. Emby TV Network Logos

Most users will probably not learn of the limitations until they've already bought it.

I am honestly shocked anyone would even buy their new device. Not only does it have Vega, but it's also inferior to their other devices.

How do I turn off the emby theatre startup animations and closing animations.

If the framework is too slow, then you need to change the framework as it will likely get even slower as you add more features.

I am aware it is there to cover up the loading. However just show a loading screen or state loading, so people know its loading. For the internal graphics there is no need, whatsoever to have the scrolling lines and then show the final image.

Hi again, something else I just thought of... If Songs Count and Albums Count were optional viewable Fields, then they would make worthwhile Sort By selections, as well. I likely wouldn’t use these as standard Sort By views, but there are numerous times when I have quickly wanted to see (e.g.) an Album Artist list arranged by Albums Count, or a Composer list arranged by Songs Count. (Example image below.) Presently, the only Sort By choices for Album Artists/Artists/Composers are Date Added, Random and Title. Having these two additional selections would be very helpful. (Sorry for not including this as part of the original feature request.)

I also would like to hide tabs from the music library, for example, I want to hide the "Favorites" and "Album Artists" tabs.

NA, Thanks. Seems like you have pinpointed it correctly. It would be nice to know the cause and fix, when it's resolved. === 'One by one' can be streamlined to potentionally one click to extract, convert and replace all 5000 media files and possibly a few sessions to transcode graphic subs to .srt. Repeating commands one at a time, is not required, once you set up a batch. I am not sure from your post, if you were already aware that was possible. ffmpeg or mkvtools can be scripted to extract all the subtitles, from every media file, all at once and replace the original media with copies that have no embedded subs. (Back all files up first.) - [ One click or Enter key for each directory tree. ] There is also a batch conversion option to change graphic subs to srt. Those could also all be done at once. Example software: https://subtitletools.com/convert-sub-idx-to-srt-online - [ Drag and drop all files to convert. ] An extra plus, after auto extracting and converting, is that the demand on your server will be improved.
