@tmoore: Yes emby uses ffmpeg, like everybody else because it would be idiotic to reinvent something so powerful :P But unlike plex, emby doesn't try to hide it and lets you use any custom ffmpeg binary you want. BTW this is no windows emulation, it is written in C# and runs with Mono, the open source alternative to Micro$oft's .NET.

Hey @tmoore and @alucryd, Sorry for the delayed response! I'm glad tmoore took it, because I didn't particularly want to own it. But I'd be happy to help keep it up to date. Feel free to add me as a Co-Maintainers and if I happen to be the one that bumps the version, less work for you. If you're interested in Co-Maintainers on plex-media-server-plexpass, let me know.

PS - Per your ffmpeg comment, it looks like emby uses it as well? And it uses Windows emulation to run?? /usr/bin/mono /usr/lib/emby-server/MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe -programdata /var/lib/emby -ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /usr/bin/ffprobe

Hmm, I don't understand, it shows me as maintainer again. Anyway, disowned, it's all yours tmoore. @duffydack: Welcome aboard the emby train, enjoy your trip :)

@alucryd, sure I can keep this package on life support. You've already done all the hard work :)

@Alucryd: thanks for the tips. The more I play with it, the more I'm liking it... I may be converted

@tmoore: let me know if you want the package, I'd rather have you or the plexpass version's maintainer take this over, vlad just jumped on it without a single word.

@duffydack: Adding the year in the folder name helps a lot, especially for movies. The crew pictures appear fine here, their scraping is probably separate from the indexing and wasn't finished yet. Also note that there's an option to save artwork and metadata within your media folders (doesn't include cast and crew though), depending on your setup it can be more efficient than inside the database, and also saves you a lot of bandwidth should you lose your database. makes it easy to replace any artwork manually too instead of going through a webui. In any case, this discussion should be taken to the forums if it goes on any longer, the comment section should concern the package only :P
