Two weeks of troubleshooting paid off – Docker solution for my Emby on UGREEN

[Blueskies278 44]

Wrong Date for US Shows

• Fixed US Show Metadata: Pulls directly from Trakt to bypass Emby’s "Upcoming" endpoint issues. "Upcoming" now displays the correct dates for US TV shows in the European timezone.
• Timezone Accuracy: Personally, I prefer Trakt because it syncs to whatever timezone you’re in.
• Self-Healing: Detects Emby cache resets and reapplies fixes within 30 seconds.
• Set & Forget: Runs automatically on my UGREEN DXP4800 Plus NAS; includes a 1:00 AM daily "safety net" sync and handles reboots without manual intervention.

 

No TMDB Option for TV Shows

• TMDB Landscape Fixes: Scans my folders every 60 seconds and downloads missing landscape.jpg thumbnails from TMDB. Hopefully, TMDB support for TV shows will be implemented in the near future.
• Thumbnail Selection: It will download the most popular thumbnail with text. If you want to select a different one, you will have to manually download it from the TMDB website.

 

Auto Next Episode Not Working (Android & Apple TV)

• The Workaround: Install Diagnostic Options and toggle "Disable HLS Subtitles."
• The Fix: Usually, this setting disables itself when Emby restarts. My Persistent Settings permanently locks the "Disable HLS Subtitles" toggle so it stays active even after a reboot.

Summary: All of this took about two weeks to compile with Claude AI because I hit numerous walls, but it was well worth it!
