Can't wait for an iOS version

Hi, it's great to see Emby using Blog posts to highlight new releases. Let's have more of this please! However, based upon the comments above... it would be even better if some of the main UI additions and changes could be explained in more detail beyond one line bullet points. This wouldn't necessarily be for every minor bug fix, but just more info on the newer functionality for those not aware of what has been going on with beta releases and not regularly following the community forums. I don't think this should be a task for the Emby technical developers though. They have enough to do with their time. This task should be a fundamental function of marketing support team members, to fully understand the new features, and explain them in a non-technical way, as official Emby info, for everyone to easily reference. Ultimately this should also lead to updates of knowledge base documentation. Otherwise many questions will continue to arise through random forum posts, taking even more valuable time away from ongoing development effort. Thanks for considering.

I would love to see this come to iOS!

Nice to see Emby for Apple TV getting some attention, but it still lacks A-Z search, Dolby vision, thumb view.

and what is that option ?

Yes, No A-Z search Dolby vision, thumb view. should have been top priority.

Hmm what about the lacking info going from 4.8 to 4.9. As 4.9.3 is a minor update from 4.9.1.90 But what happened between 4.8.11.0 to 4.9.1.80 and the to 4.9.1.90. This does not describe the new features or breakage going from 4.8 to 4.9.

This is your second android app?!?! Wow! I love this app so far. Purchased the premium version. Nice job all around. Thank you!

Why no emby connect login option?

1. This would be great if restrictions were separate for TV and movies. 2. Too many movies fall under PG. ability to edit multiple files tags to limit what is visible would be great.

Download page too. https://emby.media/download.html

using the forum device support list is probably a good start. Emby Apps - Emby Community

A-Z search would really be great

Pretty disappointing major release

Excellent information! I am so out of touch of what is what anymore/

HI, can you please ask this question in the LG section of the community? This will allow others to participate and see the responses. Thanks !

installed on radxa rock 5b+ armbian ubuntu/gnome 1080p is fine,but 4k just stutters terrible remote play ,and i can 4k using other devices fine and emby (android tv box) any reason for this changed playback settings around ,no joy. UPDATE i have Mali G610 GPU ,does emby support this for video decode ,if not what is the point of emby linux when most devices will be SBC's with theses sort of gpu

Great to see the Emby for LG 1.0.50 update rolling out — especially the fix for playback errors on older LG models and the new combined Movies & Shows tab, which looks like it could make browsing much more seamless for mixed content libraries! I appreciate all the ongoing enhancements that the Emby team brings to the platform — it’s always exciting to see improvements that make daily media streaming smoother and more user-friendly. Thanks for the update and all the hard work behind these releases!

I agree, so much so that I am not updating, which obviously is sub optimal. Things like this shouldn't be unilaterally changed in updates without also integrating a way to switch it back.

Click inside of the library:

The tabs at the top of the library. The Movies and Shows tabs have been combined into a single Movies & Shows tab.

I really, really don't like having my Movies and Shows muddled up together, especially when I have selected Shows rather than Movies in my Home Screen's Default Screen setting.

Please can you add Taiwan.

where is "How to install Emby"?

Yeah, what exactly is legacy folder scanning, where can I find it and what's the difference to the current scanning method?

sudo apt install curl and that's it !

We speak about Emby player not server here

Just installed the client on Ubuntu 24. Working great so far! So much more enjoyable than using Firefox.

thank you guys i was waiting for this one, i use fedora btw.

I'm just starting to customize my emby media.

Is there a PayPal to buy them a beverage or two???

Hi. It is great to see what is possible by tweaking the home screen. But I cant see a guide for doing this? All I see is a list of things what is possible, but not how to do it

One of the things I do is set the "Custom Rating" field on the movies that I want to wait until they are older (or younger). Perhaps you want to let them watch the MCU before they turn 13, change it down to PG. Or you want to up the 1969 "True Grit" from it's original G to PG or PG-13. I had previously tried using the tags with the restrict items set to "Allow only items..." and would put each of my kids names in a separate tag, then add that tag as I added movies, but it definitely became a management nightmare. But this may be what you are looking for with #2

Oh I hope this is the implementation of custom rows!

Would you be so kind and provide link to that plugin please?

Thanks i will give it a try

There is a great plugin available called Smart Playlists that may get you to what you're looking for @Painkiller8818

I enjoy continually tweaking, changing the layout, to keep my users engaged. This is my current layout.

Thanks I updated to the latest version of the Google version in the store yesterday, it was a little ropey yesterday when I first loaded it but seems to have fixed itself over night. seems much better than when I last tested this version so I will keep using it for now, will let you know if I get issues with new beta server updates

Just switched from a fire TV to an apple TV, very happy with the app, thank you.

Hi, there updated version of the subtitle renderer has a number of improvements, including an updated libass. So client side rendering should be better.

The hardware I’ve set up for Emby isn’t particularly remarkable. It’s my old daily driver: an Intel i7-7700 paired with 48GB of RAM and an ageing GTX 1660 GPU handling the transcoding duties. For the operating system, I opted for Windows Server 2025, as I happened to have an unused licence key available. It’s installed on its own dedicated 64GB NVMe drive with the paging file disabled. Emby itself is installed on the system drive, while the cache and image storage are handled by a second NVMe drive (500GB), installed using a PCIe x16 to NVMe adapter. My media library is quite extensive. It includes music, audiobooks, ebooks, films, home videos, television series, photo uploads and YouTube downloads. This main library, not including the comic book collection (which spans 50TB and resides on a separate instance), holds roughly 3.3 million entries. These are spread across 50TB of local RAID volumes for frequently accessed content, and four Synology NAS systems for archived material, totalling approximately 400TB of raw capacity. Films are organised by decade, distributed across multiple volumes and disk groups. TV series are divided into two separate libraries: one for Running series and another for Archived or no longer running stuff. Music, ebooks and audiobooks are housed on a separate local volume. For conversion and transcoding tasks, I use older SATA SSDs configured in RAID 0. As this is a non-critical function, I’m not concerned about potential drive failures in this setup. As clients I have a Nvidia Shield TV 2019, a Nokia Box 8000, an Apple TV 4, 2 x 1080p Android beamers, 3 Smart TVs (LG and Samsung), various iPads, iPhones and Android phones/tablets on various OS versions that connect regularly from various counties mainly within Europe.

thanks

For those of us with older servers it's cheap and easy to buy a low profile dedicated GPU and drop it in there then it is to upgrade the server. You really don't need the latest and greatest to run something like Emby, at least for a household and not too many parallel streams. OS: Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS CPU: Xeon E5645 @ 2.40GHz x2 Motherboard: Supermicro X8DTN+ RAM: 48GB GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Storage: A little complicated since this server is used for quite a few things. 11x12TB, 12x6TB, 1x120GB SSD, 3x3TB, and 3x24TB; spread over a 12 bay back plane and a 24 bay disk shelf. For Emby concerns, there is 215TB for bulk storage of media, and a shared 6TB of fast storage for Emby itself. Clients: 5 in-home devices, 6 if you count music-only. 1 remote. Library: 1970 movies, 1956/51630 shows/episodes. A large portion of which is from my own owned media, remuxed by myself. Granted, most of my clients do not need to transcode and can directly play most things. I simply don't see the need/want to "downgrade" via transcoding media that I purchase and remux to have in the highest quality available.

HI, just about all models that are 2016+.

That should be "Yes I know there is playback correction but that needs selecting each time as the system does not remember it"

When I checked the amazon app store (17/05/2025) it showed Emby for fire tv as version 2.1.26a which is what I currently have installed on mine. Will this at some point become 3.4.65 or will 2.1.26a still be available? I tried the plain Emby which I presume is the android version and while it looks slightly nicer I had one problem with it. The android version is 3.4.68 and does not have the Playback setting Deinterlace SD Content. As I have quite a few cases where I get a green screen with audio only I have found this invaluable as I just set this and the problem goes away. Yes I know there is playback correction but that needs selecting each time as the system does remember it and in any case needs done for each episode of a series and doesn't cross profiles. Is there a solution that is as simple as just setting Deinterlace SD Content as I really don't feel like going through my collection and reencoding each file.

Will the 25-device lifetime be increased to 30? And the 45-device lifetime to 50? (Its not avaliable to buy anymore) Also with the "hopefully increase the value" you mean also the price for bigger plans? Example of the 75 device at 19,99$ to 80 device at 23,99$ Price per device before: $0.27 Price per device after: $0.30 The 30 device still have the same price as before 4,99$ And now the price per device Is: 0,17$ Shouldn't it be the other way around? Usually the more you buy, the less you pay. The 30 device now Is way more convenient This is not to say that I disagree and will not pay anymore. Of course you can do what you want and as long as the software is worth the price I will continue to use it. PS: It would be great to know which users are using how many devices. I know it's done on purpose so that it can't be known. Sorry for the long post. Happy New Year

Plex has auto-sync subs now. It would be amazing if Emby had it too.

What about auto-sync subtitles using something like ffsubsync? Is that something that can happen?
