Bkaraze 0 Posted July 2, 2025 Posted July 2, 2025 Thanks for your continued work on this app! I was wondering what the best way to ask/request that emby include sonic analysis? It's a feature I'd really like to use but, unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be supported by Emby. If getting emby to implement it is a long shot, what server software could I potentially host to get that feature? Thanks again!
