Is it time to explore this either in Emby core or as a plug-in if possible? https://letsencrypt.org/2026/01/15/6day-and-ip-general-availability

ah...in my response I hadn't considered the server access sellers and the support angle, I'm aware of that side of course and they are pretty easy to spot. I also think there are wannabe sellers, or even someone recently who sounded as if they had inherited a server lol As for the helping burnout, in some way it's probably because emby as a project is pretty much solid for the core functionality. Yes there are nice to have's and some of us want a particular feature, but there is more than enough which is stable and feature-complete, and where not there are easy and well understood hacks and workarounds. Things were a lot more fun when trying to get emby working on a Synology NAS and then within Hyper-V, I think I spent most of my time tinkering than actually watching anything, now it is the other way around. Helping is difficult as people with simple issue who don't want to invest their own time in simple investigation and reading are tiring. I don't want to deal with them at work, why would anyone want to do this out of work... But hey we are all still here because Emby is an amazing piece of work, I don't even class it as a product.

I tent to agree. Most new user are Emby server users that don't own and have installed there own servers. Asking 1 time questions about there experience / failed attempts to connect to, what they call there own server, and never again reply. Share sellers redirecting there support to this forum or just don't care. Sadly this started after the big purge, where the forum was deleting old unused accounts with on forum activities, meaning 0 posts or replies. As a result share sellers are making them ask 1 question, most topic "KJHJKHK" Body "djfhk" 1 thing I have noticed is that some of the old account / helpful people have stopped helping new people, sadly I'm 1 of them. I have hade enough of people asking for help directly via PM or getting a smirky reply they cooked up via some AI. Or they never get back to you if that helped them Then there is the other people asking for help that don't want to supply logs or read the linked "how to guide" and supply where that fail them. So spending 1 - 2 hours trying to help them is going unanswered, and right now I feel like I'm waisting my time.

The latest beta server build has a hidden config switch. so if you open up the /config/system.xml file, set ValidateImageTags to true and then start the server. this will make the image tag value required, which will be unique per image and therefore you won't be able to guess a url anymore. It's an opt-in config switch for now to allow for time to identify cases where that param may not be supplied.

Hello, this Information is already being recieved from TVDB according to this Thread: I understand this is very niche, but i think this could still be useful to have.

Not everyone will and they are very clunky to operate.

I have a client that was able to connect, but could not play anything. They got a "connection error", but only when the media should start. This was when i was using let's encrypt. When i shifted to ZerroSSL they were able to connect and play.

And i was an idiot and forgot that i had quoted you. @GrimReaperto the rescue!

The biggest deterrent to plugin devs on Emby has always been around the stable release schedule and the instability of beta builds. Infrequent stable releases push regular users to run beta builds and the beta builds are pushed out with no internal testing and often break things. Expect to be doing regular maintenance releases to keep up with the beta or have people questioning why you only support stable server releases. We've been asking for quarterly stable server releases for years but we are stuck waiting 1-2 years between stable releases. IMO it doesn't make sense to add this to the catalog until the Home Screen Selection make it to a stable server releases.

You can do it with tags with EmbyIcons. It's a manual process though so will be fiddly.

Dev would have to comment further on why there are issues with avi transcoding. I personally saw issues with avi (XVID) files a long time ago and just converted all of them to h264 mp4 so they would direct play instead of transcoding.

Update was pushed, 4.9.3.28. Looks like the scrolling issue is fixed. Thanks @Luke

i solvented. The problem was the Adguard.

The reason is actually related to keeping the old TV app in-line with new store policies, not that we cannot have two. Once the current beta has run for long enough for me to be comfortable, I'll attempt another release channel update with Google. I give it about a 40% chance of success but we'll see.

Heya all! Try the latest release from the website. Should be 1.9.4.0 https://ballingtons.com/products/

Overall @Aleas thanks for your job my emby on the web looks 100x better than the plain emby one! Keep up the great job

Good Call! I was searching for categories of movies a couple months ago & never cleared the filters when I stopped looking. Once I cleared the filters, the "missing" movies all showed up. Thank you!!

Pretty niche yes, but could be nice to signify episodes that are finales and make their apperance slightly different, i.e. [ finale ] tag. I support this.

Or just use TMM and create custom export template to your liking.

That the anime community has collectively decided to ignore the standard does not mean the standard is wrong. If the content from the “forced” subtitle is also included in the “default” subtitle, all your problems go away.

Well, thanks to some great help from @GrimReaper I've managed to use JavaScript to turn the Artist Albums pages into more of a Discography page, where you can Group and Sort Albums by either Release Type (from custom album tags) or Decade (from standard year tags). Does this automatically fetch Release Types from MusicBrainz? - No Does this automatically import embedded metadata from RELEASETYPE tags? - No Does this automatically Group and Sort by Album Release Types from your Emby Album tags? - Yes Does this automatically Group and Sort by Decades from your Album years? - Yes Here's a couple of screenshots: While this only works with the Web Client, it does give a good feel for what a potential native Emby implementation could be. It takes a bit of Album tagging work to set up for your preferred Release Types page view, but the Decades page view doesn't need any set up at all! For anyone wanting to experiment with it for themselves the detailed technical information is here: While it's not the magic automatic solution, perhaps we just need ROONALBUMTAG importation from Emby (as a faster first step) to make something like this easy to use. I'll be most interested to know if this is similar to what other people are wanting? Cheers!

Attached file with the latest changes. Feel free to use as is, or modify to suit your own set-up. There are some tips in earlier posts on how to install it. The script should also run via browser extensions, such as Tampermonkey. There are also tips above on how to add your own custom Release Types and change the style to your own liking. Thanks again to @GrimReaper for creating the original script(s) therefore he receives the Solution accolades!!! For anyone interested in music Release Types, in general, there is a good topic here to contribute to: albums_groupby.js

Following up on this topic, the ability to search within a specific library remains an essential and unresolved need. In practice, the current all-library search continues to slow down workflows, surface irrelevant results, and make it unnecessarily difficult to locate known items in large, organized collections. For users managing multiple libraries by type or quality, this is not a minor convenience but a fundamental usability gap. Adding library-specific search would materially improve precision, speed, and overall efficiency, and still feels like a missing core feature. I hope I have not missed any recent developments on this. Cheers.

So for this one. I played s01e02 fast forwarded to the end till the next screen popup. Did it three times before it failed and crashed emby to main TV screen. So the crash should be within a minute of this time. 2026-03-28 13:20:21Hell Mode - S01 E02

Simple request that the Android app have the ability to blacklist a song. Lots of features available when the three . . . are touched next to a song. I would like an option to 'blacklist or skip permanently a song. As opposed to deleting the song which than breaks of the completeness of the music album.

+1 vote for the Alternate/Joined order option

@Luke Any updates? Been a couple months.

There is now a standalone of the Credit Edit function as per request. It can be found at: yocksers/TimeMarkEdit: Edit chapter time marks in Emby Thank you to @Neminemand @GrimReaperfor testing and suggestions for improvements.

I found that disabling the new setting introduced in TVos 26.4 called "Continuous Audio Connection" resolves this issue.

Hi. I don't think we could ever do this. It would be incredibly dangerous from a security standpoint and I don't think we could ever get through store policies without a ton of risk there as well.

New version up (2.4.2) on yocksers/EmbyCredits Github. Changed: 1. Enhancements to the Credit Edit.

Emby doesn't "expect" anything; it looks up the details you give in the name on the database you have selected as default - if those don't match there's nothing Emby can do about it. Paul

I'm chiming in because I am experiencing this exact same issue on the iOS app, and honestly, it's becoming incredibly frustrating. Just like the original poster, whenever I rewind or pause/play, the subtitles duplicate and stack on top of each other (tripling or quadrupling). This happens with both embedded subs and external SRT files. It makes watching anything with subtitles completely unbearable on my iPhone I noticed this bug was originally reported back in August of last year, acknowledged in September, and seemingly left unresolved since then. As a paying Emby Premiere subscriber, I'm really not impressed by this kind of lingering issue. Subtitles are a basic, essential feature not a niche edge-case and bugs that break them this severely shouldn't be sitting around for months without a hotfix Can we please get a concrete status update on this? When can we actually expect a patch for the iOS app to address the subtitle stacking/duplication bug? I can provide logs if needed, but i would like to see actual bugfix on this

Correct. I guess the only audio codecs I have that need transcoding on my Samsung TV are DTS and TrueHD so I never see anything else and I have none which need transcoding on my Shield

You mean it's the "highest" it will transcode to, correct? I often see sound being transcoded to MP3 and AAC.

Gimme few hours, I should have something working.

Members may have to donate the cash so the dev team can own an Android Automotive Car, so they have something to work on heh.

You don't wanna know how many times I've had that same thought... before rolling up the sleeves and just doing it. Grudgingly, though.

Switched to native and worked for me think has something with update ios 26.4 hope they update soon

I didn't want to publish my data, it seems like an absurd solution to me. I chose Jelyfin and I'm happy with it to this day. But thank you for trying to help and good luck to you.

Updates: Changed showing play buttons over media cards the default now. More seasonal/Holiday themes added in. Each holiday is very unique in their own way, from colors to animations. Holiday options are: Valentines Day St. Patrick's Day Easter 4th of July Halloween (My favorite one) Thanksgiving / Autum Harvest Christmas New Year's Eve Enjoy! (Note: it's best right now to have your personal theme set to black or dark for it to display properly) Emby Navy and Gold v3.0.css

Hi. The license is for personal use. 80 devices should cover that adequately. Thanks.

The plugin should work now with a a button to install the scripts needed and one to undo the changes. Please note: The plugin changes the internal Emby file actionsheet.js to be able to work, but it will make a backup before hand. Also, this is beta so some bugs might be there, i have been running this my self for some time on my own server for a while now though without any problems. It will only work in the webclient and not in the Emby Apps EmbyReporter.dll

Currently AC3 384kbps is the only thing Emby will transcode to. There is a feature request for additional codecs such as plain EAC3 and some additional bitrate options. EAC3 with Atmos would require licensing fees.

Why is the only version that is trash is the Apple TV version of Emby. Can we please make it just like the android version. IOS and Mac, even windows is a better experience than Apple TV. Let’s get a resolution going.

Why is it so complicated to play an episode of a season? 1. I go to the TV shows overview, 2. I select a show, 3. I see the season folders, choose a season, and see the episodes, 4. When I click on an episode, an overview of the episode appears, 5. and I have to click again for it to play. In my opinion, that's one unnecessary step too many, and step 5 is superfluous.

Is there a plugin I'm not aware of that allows Emby to send a weekly newsletter of recently added media? Ombi has something similar but that's only for content that's went through Ombi.
