New version up (2.4.1) on yocksers/EmbyCredits Github. Changed: Enhanced the Credit Edit with more features. Fixed: Hostnames should now work correctly for connecting to the OCR server.

Hi Luke, Are you asking about the one that many people have pointed out only works if you already know something is missing, or at least suspect it? That makes it pointless. I have been using it ever since we got this regression. It is incredibly annoying to start a marathon of a multi-season series, like House; both admin and regular users have given the same feedback; and then, a couple of seasons later, realize something looks off, and only then check the context menu. At this point, I feel like your response is coming from a bot, since it looks like the same response every time. I waited and tried to live with this bad user-experience “feature,” but I need to find an alternative. I am not asking for it back; we already lost that battle.

Thanks.

I did not know until I went through process myself on a different device. That is why I took a picture of it and posted it. What is obvious to one, might not be so obvious to others and visa versa. Thanks again for your help.

Audiobook Creator/Editor - a small tool I write. Hey! I threw a simple program for creating and editing audiobooks, since I couldn't find anything decent online — except for one paid option. I'm sure it still has plenty of bugs, but it seems to work. Features: Encodes audio files (MP3, AAC, OGG, FLAC, etc.) to M4B format Merges multiple M4B files into a single file Rebuilds M4B files with proper tags Joins multi-part chapters (e.g. "Prologue 01", "Prologue 02", etc.) Requirements: For encoding MP3 and similar formats, the source files need to have their tags already filled in. I personally use the free Mp3tag app for this. The most important tag is Title - this is what gets used as the chapter name. All other tags can be filled in directly within the program. A note on performance: The program runs slowly, as it's essentially a wrapper around several command-line utilities - and those utilities are inherently slow when working with the M4B container. Nothing I can do about that, I'm afraid. Bonus: Since Emby apparently can't read the Sorting Album tag for some reason (hi, Luke ), the program also generates an NFO file with all the filled-in tags pre-written, including <sorttitle>. AudioBook Master v3.exe

Great So it was a combination of issues - multiple routers - port forwading issues - wrong password - device access restriction

The ts chunks are taking ~2 seconds to be delivered, which is a very long time considering that later on it takes only a few ms to deliver. This probably means that it's transcoding at full speed for the whole file and then stops, but having said that 2 seconds is still fast enough to deliver without buffering since each chunk is 3 seconds long (-segment_time 00:00:03.000). Looks like your system is pretty slow to handle this, and there's no log entries for Theater to compare with, which should be able to direct play this file. Please include the ffmpeg transcode log as well. BTW, why did you configure your transcoding temp folder to /data/radio/transcoding-temp when you have /data/radio as a library path? This is causing constant rescans of that folder - probably RTM is enabled for this library.

Update. He tried it on his phone after I changed the password and updated the device access. It worked. He is able to login and access the server. I just checked back with him and he is still able to connect on his phone. He have not tried it at his house yet. Appreciate all of the help and effort from all you. Been awaiting this for a long time. sa2000 Luke

Merci on a resolue le probleme , on a du desinstaller lapplication sur le amazon fire , meme avec bon user et mot de passe javais toujours erreur ! merci pour votre aide

Why not use API keys? That's what they are for.

the firewall has been running three weeks no issues. i reinitialized the default tasks and scans two week before firewall. so thats been 5 weeks and no issues, dont know whsat the underlying cause could be. but fingers crossed its managed to right itself. Appreciate everyones help and advice

I’ve been loving replacing actor avatars with my like’s images in Emby Server. However, I’ve run into a consistent issue: the plug-in fails to sync these custom actor pictures to the individual episode details. It would be amazing if this could be fixed in a future update. Thanks for all your hard work

Is this doable by some sort of plugin ? Maybe add your imdb credentials and then be able to rate movies here and have them on imdb as well (not talking about sorting here, just rating stuff)

Having Emby run on a non-focussed tab causes this issue to occur much faster (also after about 2 or 3 songs). Here's a screeny of the console: From the "universal" log and onwards the playback suddenly started working again. It's almost like there's a timing issue going on between progress calls or so. I'll debug further.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a small personal project I’ve been working on called XiaoEmby. I originally built this to solve a specific need in my own home lab, and I’m open-sourcing it today in case anyone else in the community is looking for a similar solution. What is XiaoEmby? XiaoEmby is a lightweight tool that bridges your Emby music library with Xiaomi (XiaoAi) smart speakers. It is a customized extension of the xiaomusic project, specifically optimized to pull and stream media directly from an Emby server. Why I built this The core functionality is simple: I wanted a way to play my high-quality Emby music collection on my Xiaomi speakers (like the Xiaomi L17A / Xiaomi Sound Pro) without jumping through hoops. Key Features: Direct Emby Streaming: Access your server's music library and stream it directly to your smart speakers. Personal Integration: Tailored to handle the specific URL patterns and streaming requirements of the XiaoAi ecosystem. Simple Deployment: It’s designed to run easily via Docker, fitting right into a standard home lab environment. Open Source & Feedback Please keep in mind that this is a personal project I developed in my spare time. I’m sharing it here purely to help others who might have the same hardware setup and want to get more out of their Emby music library. You can find the code, setup instructions, and Docker details here: GitHub: https://github.com/backtracker/xiaoemby If you find it useful or have any suggestions, feel free to check it out or open an issue on GitHub. Happy listening!

I made myself an "audiobooks" icon, so I figured I'd also take care of @anthmclean's "concerts" request. See below for previews, the ZIP file has the entire collection up to this point. I'm doing my best to try to distribute the background colors -- theater curtains and book bindings give me "red" vibes, hopefully everyone's amicable to that. SimpleEmbyIcons.zip

Just wanted to add a quick note here for anyone looking at that thread, it's important to make sure the mount points are mounted BEFORE the emby service starts. You should be able to figure out how to do this in your distro by googling. Hard won knowledge. -HS

I think what we should do is that when it's trying to connect, we have the ability to cancel it so that you don't have to wait for it to timeout.

Try this version, i removed a couple of blocks made. It should now allow any host name or IP as long as they are local IPs. Note: It will not allow public IPs, made it like that because the Tesseract and PaddleOCR doesn't have any password system that i know of (they are not my containers), so giving access to them from the internet would be a huge security risk and everyone would be able to use them. If you want i can remove any blocks there are, just be mindful of this! EmbyCredits.dll

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

Netflix and AppleTV use DD+ Atmos not TrueHD Atmos. The Emby app should pass DD+ Atmos also. As far as I know Sony apps still don't passthrough TrueHD. However, if you want to test this out turn off audio transcoding on the server. This will tell Emby to just pass the audio untouched and let the hardware try and handle it. Edit: if you try turning off audio transcoding make sure it's actually coming out as TrueHD and triggering Atmos. Some devices will auto convert using hardware to something like PCM 2.0

I had no choice but to make a backup, uninstall Emby, and reinstall it, but with version 4.8.11.0, the subtitles and playback on LG work perfectly. It's a shame; I've had this error for three months now, and they keep saying it will be fixed in the next server update, but it never comes!

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?

Hi, this is something we are working on improving. Thanks.

It would be a great feature to allow an option for how many days back for the tv guide to go for providers that offer catchup services. You can then go back in he guide and play whatever you want like a PVR always.

When it's ready.

Hi, yes we are working on a new ffmpeg build for the server that should be on the beta channel soon.

Hi community, I would like to know if there is a better way to show multi-version of my movies. I actually use the name convention Emby(TMDb) proposed by trash-guides.info {Movie CleanTitle} {(Release Year)} [tmdb-{TmdbId}] - {edition-{Edition Tags}} {[MediaInfo 3D]}{[Custom Formats]}{[Quality Full]}{[Mediainfo AudioCodec}{ Mediainfo AudioChannels]}{[MediaInfo VideoDynamicRangeType]}{[Mediainfo VideoCodec]}{-Release Group} Each version of the movie I have are stored in a separate directory and I use the function "Automatic Grouping" to visualise them together (v4.9.x feature). What I expected to see: 1080p 4k Director's cut Final Cut .... What I see: Is there a way to visualise them better using the naming convention proposed by trash-guides? Example names: 1080p version of the movie: Big Buck Bunny (2025) [tmdb-12345] - [WEBDL-1080p][EAC3 Atmos 5.1][h264]-PromptOriginalEarwigOfAwe.mkv 4k version of the movie: Big Buck Bunny (2025) [tmdb-12345] - [MA][WEBDL-2160p][DV HDR10Plus][TrueHD Atmos 7.1][h265]-TheFarm.mkv Thank you

Hi, we'll look at improving this. Thanks for the feedback.

Any plans to give us the ability to create custom skins? Not looking for super fancy stuff like Kodi has but most around onscreen layout. Emby's native skin is 'usable' but not the most efficient or intuitive as Kodi's native skin (left side menu, etc)

I ran into the exact same issue on my setup (Intel Arc A380 / DG2, Emby 4.9.x on Unraid) and spent some time digging into the root cause. What's happening: Emby's ffdetect queries the Intel MFX runtime for HEVC encoder capabilities, and the runtime returns MaxLevel = 153 (HEVC Level 5.1). Emby then maps Level 5.1 to a max bitrate of 39 Mbps per the HEVC spec, and rejects the hardware encoder for any content above that threshold — falling back to software libx265. But it's not a hardware limitation. The Intel vpl-gpu-rt driver source code sets MaxcodecLevel = MFX_TIER_HEVC_HIGH | MFX_LEVEL_HEVC_62 (Level 6.2 High Tier) in its codec description. The Level 5.1 value returned by the runtime query seems to reflect the minimum guaranteed level for default parameters, not the hardware's actual ceiling. As @embart0r demonstrated, ffmpeg with hevc_qsv happily encodes at 80-100 Mbps on the same hardware without issue. I've confirmed this on my Arc A380. After working around the cap, I've been running multiple concurrent 4K HEVC transcodes at 50-67 Mbps, all on hardware with the CPU basically idle. Workaround: I put together a script that patches Emby.Media.Model.dll to raise the Level 5.1 bitrate cap from 40,000 kbps to 160,000 kbps (a 2-byte hex edit). It's reversible, idempotent, and designed to be re-run after Emby updates. Details and source here: https://github.com/jesposito/emby-hevc-qsv-fix I also filed this as an issue with the Emby team: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/issues/3956 Ideally Emby could address this properly... perhaps by allowing a user override for the reported max bitrate, or by querying the hardware capability more aggressively. To be clear, the script is not tested by anyone but me and anyone using it does so at their own risk. @Cobester — you mentioned seeing the same 39 Mbps cap on a 14th gen CPU. The script should work for your setup too since the root cause is the same (MFX runtime reporting Level 5.1). Would be great to get confirmation on non-DG2 hardware if you're willing to try it.

I think this would be a nice feature to have. Maybe something similar to how windows media player handles this and the admin user can edit just by clicking on stars next to song. This would be easier and faster than having to go into metadata and change for every song you want to rate. This can be useful for smart playlists. If ten stars is too much then use five and have half a star counts as 1.

Hi Team, I was looking into options to allow users to reset their passwords ( email-based password reset feature ). However, my attention was immediately drawn to the critical CVE-2025-64113 vulnerability, which describes a far more serious authentication issue: an unauthenticated admin takeover. Ironic given the hesitation to implement an authentication recovery feature for fear it might not be universally functional, while a critical authentication bypass vulnerability existed in the core product, undermining all security measures I looked through the release notes and didn't spot anything relevant. Given this flaw essentially bypasses all security, can you share the timeline for a release with the fix? Thank you EDIT: Just found https://github.com/EmbySupport/Emby.Security/security/advisories/GHSA-95fv-5gfj-2r84 It seems like this has been fixed. If so, it should have been in the release notes.

This in combination with smart playlists +++ Hi, I recently bought emby premiere and am very happy with the software. This would improve the functionality for music streaming enormously.

It seems that Emby doesn't recognize vtt subtitles the are inside the mkv file. I've attached screenshots for a file as the Emby server sees it (first one) and then the same file opened in MKVToolNIX (2nd screenshot) and VLC (3rd screenshot). I am running Emby server 4.8.8.0 on Synology NAS DS218.

Hi, thank you for your views, I appreciate it, it helps move the project forward!
