My list after my trial

[justinrh 260]

After using Emby for a bit, here is my list of enhancements and suggested fixes.

 

- make UI terminology consistent between "watched" vs "played"/"unplayed"
- change default for metadata files to not be put in library folders
- consolidate metadata file asset locations and options (it took a while, but I finally flipped all the scattered about switches and got the metadata file assets to not go in the library folders):
  Library > Advanced:
    Metadata path:
    Specify a custom location for downloaded artwork and metadata.
    libraries > manage folders:
    Save artwork and metadata into media folders

  Dashboard main page:
  Metadata:
  C:\Users\Justin\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\metadata
     ^^ it looks like this is in addition to the library folders, which is not clear, so it looks like it is not honored and thus perceived as a bug

 

- "stats for nerds" should show file location and name
- the Plex process of offering metadata match changes is great (presents a list of possible matches); note that I do also like the search capability in Emby
- need tooltips for various buttons/controls in the Win10 theater app
- it would be nice to remove pagination in the library browser

Hi, yes I agree. The reason for this right now is that we also support Audio Books, and those can be mark played. But obviously for video content, the term watched is much friendlier.

- change default for metadata files to not be put in library folders

 

This is already the default. You have to turn it on.

And yes i agree with all of your other suggestions. Thanks for the feedback.

Huh.  I guess I must have turned it on at some point during configuration.  Well, that one is off the list.     Good - thank you.
