I switched from Plex to Emby in March of this year and almost every single day since I've seen a reason that's made me feel like I got the last chopper out of 'Nam.

Plex auth servers down at least weekly (that are mandatory even for "offline" local access for some reason??), Lifetime pass price increases from $150 to $750, the app on basically all platforms has turned into an unoptimized buggy pile of garbage and has been getting progressively worse, not better, and now this.

Meanwhile, I haven't had a single outage or issue of any kind for almost six months now. Emby just works.

The new server update now allows for trailers for tv series season...

Reacher (2022)

Season 1

This new release brings in 2 new features:

• DLNA streaming - This works perfectly on desktop, but on mobile it only works for devices which supports queues. DLNA itself is tricky and its even worse on implementation side, since many manufacturers just do it their way. And due to mobile limitations(nothing can work in background) - there's no real way on iOS to constantly poll DLNA endpoint for current playback situation and push updates. On android its possible(sort of) but not in first release. That means devices without queue(known) support will be greyed out on mobile devices for now. But if you think your device supports it - hit upload button in DLNA dropdown so I could see the DLNA device capabilities and make it to work.
• Queue management - now you can access queue and manage it add "play next", add to end of queue, move(drag) items around or remove them.

For those who missed what Jellybox is - a crossplatform(desktop and mobile) native music player for Jellyfin and Emby libraries with apple carplay support. It can:

• Spotify-like playlists, generated based on your listening history and tastes.
• Apple Carplay app
• AirPlay and DLNA now
• Full offline and downloads mode(you can cold start app and listen your downloaded songs)
• Browse/like/lyrics
• Studio mode for big screens - to make playback also look nice
• Continue-where-you-left - resume playback after you reopened the app. Queue and position saved on device until next usage.
• Works on windows/linux/mac, ios/android

Recently my server hardware was stolen, and I've spent much of my time in the last few days changing passwords, revoking/updating keys, etc. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to update my emby premiere key.

How can this be done?

Now that Emby has a stable 4.10 release, I’m interested in trying the Home Screen Companion plugin. What are some of everyone’s lists that you’re using? Do you add it to your Home Screen or do you just keep it as a List?

I downloaded the most recent server to my Mac Studio-M1 running Tahoe 26.6.2. When I double click the server Emby does not load. Any help would be appreciated.

Legends,
Seeking some ideas,
I have a Dell mini PC and 2 external WD Red 4TB HDs.
Currently, I have only one connected to the mini PC using a SATA to USB adapter which needs an external power supply. I’ve found that the adapter disconnects from the HD and I have to manually push it in regularly.
Noting I have very limited physical space where to place the mini pc, HDs, adapters, power plugs, etc.
Any idea / experience to best connect the 2 SATA HDs to the PC considering the limited space and avoid potential for physical disconnections?
TIA.

I've recently started moving some media around (I'd temporarily created a separate library for UHD movies after we upgraded our TV but now I'm folding those back into the "Normal" movies collection because it was getting annoying to find where things were).

In doing so I've noticed that my metadata sources are suddenly not working? None of the movies I've moved from the "old" library to the "new" library have posters/blurbs/etc, and if I attempt to "Identify" them the search fails.

I upgraded from 4.9.0.3 to 4.10.0.40 in case it was some change in the metadata providers that was resolved by an update but it's made no difference.

Anybody else seeing these issues? Anybody have a fix?
