Hi Emby community, I’m happy to share SubZ, an Emby server plugin for subtitle translation and bilingual subtitle generation using LLM APIs. What SubZ does: Translates subtitles into your target language via LLM API Supports embedded/external subtitle workflows Generates srt or styled ass output Supports manual target execution (single file or folder) Includes a lightweight status page for runtime monitoring（Optional） Project links: GitHub: https://github.com/Sandings/SubZ Credit / Acknowledgement: Special thanks to @dexus for the original community discussion and inspiration: Subtitle translation using local LLM or API calls - Very accurate language - cheap. Thanks to everyone in the Emby community for feedback and testing support.

Sure sure, I'll also check the User Sessions plugin for completeness.

Son of a gun! Correct it is a folder naming issue. I took my Sopranos folder that was not scanning, created a new Spranos folder and put the episodes directly in there and it showed up. Thank you...

The only time I have that happen is when that media item is corrupt or otherwise not complete. In order for the video/audio/sub info, the runtime, chapters and stuff of that nature to fill in is for the file to be what is called "extractable". Think of the MKV file like a ZIP only it isn't compressed as the files already are. The MKV header tells the system loading it how that file is built and where streams are and what not. Now imagine if half of that is missing. Then the MKV is unreadable. That is the situation you seem to be in. https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download You can try checking the file with MediaInfo and after install right click on the file. Choose "Media Info" and see if it can read the file. If it is blank just like Emby is showing the file is invalid and corrupt. Some programs like VLC can play around the corruption. They just skip bits they do not understand and attempt to parse out garbage data and find real data. That might be why it can work there but not other apps. VLC should also play it badly every time areas of corruption/missing data are processed. Try remuxing it with MKVToolNix GUI and see if that fixes it. Just remux and copy everything. MKVToolNix will build a correct header for the data that is there if it can find the data. But maybe it cannot read the MKV either.

New minor release - Version 4.1.0.0 Download .dll and full release notes: https://github.com/soderlund91/HomeScreenCompanion/releases/tag/v4.1.0.0 This update contains mostly improvements on the AI source. Added support for Ollama and some other fixes. Also added an ability to create a Playlist from the source target. This is independent from all other settings (eg home section). It will take the source list and post the corresponding movies and series into a Playlist for the selected user(s). IMPORTANT! Minimum required Emby server v4.10.0.10 Release notes NEW Playlist You can now create Playlists from the selected source. A playlist is created and maintained by the plugin for selected users and updates according to the configured source. Updates AI Source: Added support for Ollama for local AI (experimental) AI Source: Added a function for how often to update the AI list (Eg. every 2 days). Only applies to full sync, so if you manually run that single group it will still send the promt. AI Source: In settings we can now modify the system promt that is sent to the selected AI-provider. (Only change this if you know what you are doing) Local media information: Added: TVDB ID, Folder path contains, Country Fixes Top-list: Fixed an issue where the "max items" for a top-list was not respected when doing a full sync. Schedule: Fixed an issue where date might have been interpreted wrong depending on timezone. ________________________________________ Dev notes This will probably be the last update in a while since I'm getting another kid any day now. I will still support and work on the plugin, but focus will mostly be on fixing bugs and updating support for newer Emby server releases. Feature ideas are still welcomed, but I will probably not be developing the plugin as rapidly as I have in the past. Keep reporting bugs and all good ideas you guys have! Without your input this plugin would not be what is is today! HomeScreenCompanion.dll

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. For version updates, always check latest posts in the thread. Emby Navy and Gold v4.46.css

Tbh you should fix your metadata in you media files for music. I use mp3tag to tag my music and Various Artist abbums. And it works great.

Hi again I saw the explanation that country additions are usually delayed while Samsung app updates are under review, which makes total sense. However, I also noticed that the latest app update seems to have been approved back in March, so I wanted to kindly check if there are any updates regarding the next country expansion request. Just a friendly reminder to please keep Nicaragua in mind as well. My mom is still reinstalling Emby manually every month Thanks again for all the work you do and for continuing to support more regions!

It must have been a cache issue. I tried again later and it was working. I didn't even have to manually clear it.

Hi. Please contact whomever gave you access to their server.

@Luke You need to change few things on device management, it is left in year 1999. 1. When editing user devices, after clicking all devices button for user devices, implement DESELECT all devices button, so we don't have to click 300,000 times to deselect all devices in system including all browsers. It does not makes sense at all. 2. If would be much better that on same screen when i manage a user and his devices, emby FILTERS OUT and SHOWS only devices that user is using not ALL. Also does not makes sense that user "tom" shows 150 devices that he never used or loged in.

Thanks, had not noticed that menu entry, I had tried to do it in past on the post itself

New version "v2.5.7.1" in the catalog. Quick fix for hostnames not working in the OCR server settings.

Must have been making it unreadable. Remux fixed it up. Thanks!

Well, I don't know what to tell you. It happened especially often when viewing a title with these specs: Perhaps due to it being a multi-audio file, something wacky is going on like audio extraction (maybe unintended?) I'll reproduce the issue when I get back home and extract the logs.

You have a very large number of folders mapped, without a specific example of X item in Y folder is not appearing, these errors specifically are suspect to be corrected first. Check your pathing for these. I don't think folders should end with a period.

It shouldn't be. @brothomcan you please provide an ffmpeg transcode and server log for this test? Thanks

I have been messing with npmplus on TrueNAS Scale for the first time recently. And after a couple of weeks of trial and error (mostly error) I am finally happy with my setup. I was just picking an obscure, high number for port forwarding emby. It honestly worked just fine for the past couple of years. But I always felt a bit nervous about it... So now, I am running crowdsecurity with npmplus to watch out for, and ban the 'bad guys'. Not too complex and certainly not book worthy, but a step in the right direction. Over past several days, I thought I'd give Cloudflare Tunnels another go (TrueNAS Scale App 'Cloudflared'. So I had to learn how to perform an Nginx redirect when a video starts. I am such an utter newb, I did not know about CF's strict bandwidth abuse policy. At first, my friend kept crashing the server when he tried to stream a 4k remux. So I did more research and learned about this re-direct trick. As an example, my father logs into my hosting domain for emby, browses media, clicks actors, sees their other films or shows or whatever, and he is still in the Cloudflare Tunnel. When he decides to play something, Nginx takes control. It re-routes him out of the tunnel using my 'Grey Cloud DNS' Domain, so he doesn't get throttled. The issue with 'Grey Cloud' DNS from Cloudflare is there is no CF security. Hence, my new subdomain was wide-open. So I shut down the login page and thre up a '403'. Anyway, with the login page now shut down for this new domain, that literally just acts as a p2p domain, the video is strictly played back over CF DNS servers. No throttling by CF and nothing else that would break their ToS. It was basically as I had my existing emby login page. Open to the public, but with crowdsec and Nginx rate-limiting it, I am not too concerned that it is wide-open... The beauty of using the CF tunnel for the main access page is Cloudflare's WAF. I have banned all countries that have no business accessing my server address. And I have banned all IP addresses not in the CF 'network', since the only way to my server should be through the CF Tunnel anyway. This eliminates any direct-path to the login page. And if they do go through CF, all the rules that I've set up apply (ie rate limiting, geo-banning, etc). I am sure this was mentioned many times in this thread, but I was just so jacked to learn this stuff that I had to post about it. Still lots to learn, but I am making progress!

Official announcement: Get it, test it, talk about it - here: https://emby.media/community/forum/188-linux-beta/

This isn’t an installation troubleshooting issue, and asking for a version number doesn’t answer the question. The question is simple: Has WebSocket keepalive been lowered to a real world websocket timeout or made configurable in a released server version? If yes, which version and where is the setting? If no, is it still planned? There are already multiple pages explaining the issue. Deflecting back to “what version are you on?” just avoids answering whether the feature exists.

I definitely have this issue. Dispatcharr --> Emby takes around 5-7 seconds to start playing, meanwhile Dispatcharr --> nearly any other IPTV app or VLC is an instant start-up.

Hi, I’m also having this same issue with a fire stick I just bought. I’m based in Australia however. I can only see the Emby app and not the Emby for Fire TV app on my appstore on the fire stick, and it says it’s not compatible with my fire stick when i try to download via my phone

I would like to see an option within the library options to check which users have access. (And I also wonder why the "pop-up" instead of a "new" window to manage or add a Library)

Yes, If I create a new project library it would be nice to add users at once or to check if the correct users have access to it. And as follow-up a "normal" page instead of the popup.
