Sneak peek at the next update! Packed with dynamic studio logos (like Netflix and Prime Video), the ability to upload your own custom studio logos, and other new features. Coming soon.

Thanks @pwhodges, yes my wan address and "what is my ip" give the same IP and it is NOT in 100. range. My router does not have an IPv6 address and my dns has no aaaa record. ipconfig/all on my windows server gives no ipv6 address. so my best guess is i am solidly on ipv4. If im not on CGNAT then i think i just went down a wormhole of misguided hypothesis/analysis...maybe i just have an alexa issue.

Digital output format would be what you want to change. A RokuTV device will show "Passthrough" as an additional option for digital output format. A Roku set-top-box or stick will need to use "Custom" and then enable DTS or not and choose the correct flavor of Dolby Digital either non-plus or plus. The "Passthrough" option of the RokuTV will allow the HDMI(-ARC/eARC) to pass these through. Using Auto it must determine support from the HDMI-CEC chain. If you have an AVR this might cause problems with auto-detection if the AVR is turned off, but the Roku is always on, as the order the devices are turned on matters. Detection is done as the Roku boots up. In order for Auto to work correctly all the time the Roku will need to turn off with the AVR and turn on with it. Using Custom will work correctly all the time without needing to make sure of the order of devices is turned on correctly. Audio mode allows you to quickly enable Stereo without goofing with the other settings. For when you want to do this. Preferred streaming format isn't really used by the Emby app. We aren't providing streams without multiple audio tracks. We don't provide your media. So we don't read this value from the Roku which would tell us how you want your audio packaged from our content delivery network. Since we do not have a CDN serving video this one exists for everything else, but Emby. Those who have content will surely use this to determine how best to handle your audio stream delivery. Since Emby is limited by what your media item has for audio this is why we can never use that field.

Roku does nothing but pass through DTS. It only "plays" Dolby formats. IE: All Roku does is steer the audio stream to a device to decode it. I had issues when I started here and came to understand DTS is a three way negotiation between Emby, the Sink Device (TV) and the AVR and all three must be capable of handling the 7.1 stream or you get 5.1. After updating my Sink device (TV), no problems playing DTS-MA

Thanks and I am glad to hear it might be in the future updates

Think of DTS as either 5.1 or 7.1. The Roku can play DTS. The Roku cannot play lossless streams. It must always use the DTS "core". Even if you have DTS-HD MA in 6 channel, rather than 8, the Roku isn't playing the lossless stream. It is playing the lossy "core" from the DTS stream. DTS should pass-through. The player just goes hmm.. whatever.. here is the stream. Untouched. Passes it down the wire. Just puts it out on the pass-through audio stream. After that.. it is up to your equipment to decode that or remove the DTS "core" from the stream and play it. This is why you must both enable pass-through then rather than use "Auto" use "Custom" and choose which codecs to allow. Usually DD5.1 and DTS turned on. Then restart the Roku. After that the Roku now understands you want DTS to pass-through. It is doing this because you hear silence with 8 channel DTS. That must mean the pass-through is working, or it means Roku isn't passing through the DTS to the receiver. But it does mean the Roku is doing it since this shows as Direct Play. @ebrDo you have a TV that supports DTS which can connect to a Roku? I do not or I would do this myself to test. Simply disable audio transcoding for a test user. Then play that file with that test user that has DTS-HD MA in 8 channels. Can you hear the lossy DTS "core" playing from the DTS-HD MA track? or do you also hear silence? If you also hear silence this is most certainly a recent Roku firmware bug.

Ok so I don't have the same content to test against (it was too big and I needed space.) BUT I did test against known channels that produced this error in the past and I had no issues at all. Thank you so much (all of you) for your hard work. It is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your quick reply. And no worries at all, there's absolutely no urgency. It's really just a nice-to-have feature that I thought could improve the consistency of the overlays on libraries where posters don't all follow the same aspect ratio. Enjoy your summer break and don't feel any pressure to work on it. If it eventually makes its way into the plugin someday, that would be great, but it's certainly not a priority. Thanks again for taking the time to look into it!

Moved to the Emby Server (Linux) forum

The plugin takes the posters aspect ratio and uses a % of that to scale the icons and placement. I can certainly add an option to use 2:3 scaling, pretty easily even, i'm just not sure if it will negatively affect the posters. I will look into it but can't promise when it will be done, kinda on my summer break now and been trying (and failing) to limit the amount of work i have to do.

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

Atm. you can just use what ever you prefer, the developers have said that later on the Emby for Android TV will be phased out for Emby Android instead.

@johyphenelThis should fix it. Again sorry you became the target of my rant, it was absolutely not meant for you but just as a general explanation. WatchingEye.dll

New Emby server Beta release, v4.10.0.14.

Why not do it based on IANA list of non routable IPs ? If the IP is not in the non routable IP ranges, you anonymize it no ? non routable IPs have no problem of privacy as you can't track them at anything

The queries show up in the logs, if you want to try to optimize them and DM Luke with the changes. But I believe this is a feature change i.e. bringing in fuzzy search properly, because the simple fix of reverting the current fuzzy queries with word split will upset other people who have come to rely on that. And for the proper Fuzzy Search, I have already provided the docs of how to implement it here, just waiting for Luke to find the time to do it correctly.

OH MY GOD .... im so Sorry ... i found the Reason. i had 3 .ignore Files in the Movie and Series Folder for some Cover Folders. .embyignore .ignore .plexignore i deleted them and now everything is working.

+1 by country. I sometimes feels like watching a movie from a specific country. It is impossible. It is almost perfect otherwise

While I'm not trying to be rude... Jellyfin supports now ... Already. Why are some of these features not working??.. and if not working documentation should be better to let people know.. been fighting issues in my thread wasting time thinking it's my system.. when it's just an emby issue.

I would also like to vote for this, AV1 is a hugely efficient codec that would benefit 4k content and rural / bad / mobile connections a lot! AV1's adoption has been far faster than h265 ever was, they first spent years optimising for ARM decode, and then the hardware encoders started coming out. I myself also use Emby with an AV1-encoding capable card. I get that yes, not everyone could use it, but I feel like just having the option available to us in the settings would be nice! That way the people who want to experiment can, while other users just keep going as is

Every time I see an update and go to the forum to check if there are any problems, I lose the desire to update. I'll keep my version 4.9.1.90, even though it doesn't scan all the films and TV series I have on my 50TB NAS.

The standard Android app is vastly superior to the Android for TV app. Your stuttering problem is, most probably, not really related to the app but rather to something in your setup, There are plople here who can really help with that but they need much much more info like details of your setup and which devices are being used and which devices are connected wirelessly or wired and logs. If you report that and include examples then there is at least a good chance that your problem can be diagnosed.

Must admit i have purposely ignored doing anything to this plugin because i regret ever coming up with the idea for it. Almost every time i see it mentioned it's by people using it for their streaming shares (pirate Netflix servers) where they now (thanks to this plugin) now sell watching hours. I will look into this problem and after that i will delete everything to do with the plugin and hope the developers make something better and less beneficial for the pirates. This is nobody's fault other than those people using it for piracy!! Sorry you got to be the target of the rant, just had to get it off my chest.
