Popup info for next video in the queue.

[SumpnFishy 2]

I like to watch music videos 'MTV style'. The library is 'Music Videos' and I usually play from folders I've sorted by type of music with 'random' selected. I've notice on my ROKU client that occasionally I'll see a popup at the end of the video of what video is queued up to play next with a button to select 'Play Now'. I've looked at the file type and metadata on videos this happened on and didn't find anything different from other videos. My question is what triggers this? If possible I'd like this to happen on every video, especially if I can control the info displayed. Right now it seems to happen very randomly. I have not tested on other clients yet. This is currently running on a Windows 10 server if that matters.

Hi, that just happens in a play queue when you get to the end of one file. There’s J.P. specific info for it other than the fields that you can already edit in the metadata editor.

J.P.? Is this a different database? Something external, from the Internet? Just trying to understand the mechanics that trigger this behavior. I've been using Emby for about a year now and still unlocking some of the nice features. This would be a cool option if there is any way I could control it.

Thanks!

Sorry, there's no specific info for it other than the fields that you can already edit in the metadata editor. If any information came from the internet it would be from the metadata fetchers that  you have enabled in the options for that library.

OK. I'm confused. I still don't know what triggers it. It randomly shows up about once every 10 to 15 videos that have played in the queue. This is in folder view, random play selected. If it's not supposed to happen that's fine. Just figured it was a feature and trying to figure out how to utilize it.

Thanks.

It should be for every video in the queue but @speechlescan elaborate more on what the roku app is looking for.

Sound good. Meanwhile I'll test other apps and see how they behave. (Retired IT guy here).
