Emby Feature Requests: Enhancing the “Extras” Television Show Experience
The Emby media server offers a robust platform for managing and enjoying your personal media collection. However, users often desire extended functionality, particularly when it comes to handling “extras” for television shows. While discussions in community forums are valuable, the most effective way to influence development and see these enhancements implemented is through formal feature requests.
Emby utilizes a structured process for managing feature additions. This involves submitting a detailed feature request (FR) outlining the desired functionality. This allows the development team to track user requests, gauge community interest, and prioritize development efforts. Regardless of how seemingly simple or essential a feature might seem, a formal request is crucial for it to gain traction.
Submitting a feature request isn’t just about stating a desired outcome. It’s an opportunity to engage in constructive discussion, explore potential implementation challenges, and collaborate with other users and the development team to refine the concept. For instance, consider how Emby should handle episodes not found in standard metadata providers – a detailed FR allows for this type of nuanced discussion.
Before submitting a new request, it’s highly recommended to search existing FRs. A similar or identical request might already exist, allowing you to contribute to an ongoing conversation and consolidate community support. If a related thread exists, linking your new request can provide valuable context and connect related ideas.
Your input is valued and contributes to Emby’s evolution. By channeling your insights into well-defined feature requests, you directly impact the platform’s future development. Emby is currently undergoing significant core improvements, making it an opportune time to propose enhancements to the “extras” experience for television shows. Let’s collaborate to make Emby even better.
