Emby has to be the most app with a lot of users and has a subscription system that isn’t evolving accordingly, UI still mostly the same as before 5 years ago
The playback is so bad when you pause multiple times it’s annoying, still no smart playlists I know it will be on next update but it has been asked for for years now
Third party apps made with ai play directly better than emby app
And they make managing devices with premiere hard intentionally so you would have to buy the license which is crazy especially if some basic features as opensubtitle which is a plugin if you use it it counts as a premiere feature! The concept of charging for devices is crazy even plex won’t do that

Emby don’t even have a basic function to log out all devices connected like if you have it logged in airbnb or friends house, Why? Because they want you to pay for extended

I would understand all that I wouldn’t mind but develop faster solve the actual problems like disabling transcoding of 4K and a lot other issues !!

Emby was working great on my iPad until about a week ago. Now when I try to connect it only says..."This emby server needs to be updated. To download the latest version, please visit https://emby.media"

The server app says it's the latest version!!?

Not sure what happened.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

An external tool to force Emby to show episode thumbnails instead of series thumbnails for tv shows. This functions like a script that apply this "fix" onto all tv shows in your library, or a specific tv show id for testing. If you have any suggestions, you can reply to this thread, or open an issue in the GitHub repository.

Just noticed a few days ago. I go to Manage Downloads within the iOS Emby app, and its just blank. The settings page seems to be normal but nothing shows on the Manage Downloads. And I have several shows that should appear here. This morning I noticed that despite watching two episodes of a show last night, they didnt remove from my phone, and two more didnt download.

I love Emby but the constant issues with downloading shows is the most frustrating thing about the app. (Sometimes they get stuck on Ready to Transfer, sometimes an episode isn't downloaded, etc).

Edit - so it looks like my shows are still downloading per my rules (5 at a time, unwatched only) so that’s good. But my Manage Downloads are still blank.
