Practical reading about streaming, devices and the decisions behind a better prepared setup.

Emby Web Download and Download to create different kinds of copies

Web Download saves an original file through the browser; Download to queues a job for an eligible app, device or configured sync folder.

Configure the named sync destination and its users, and keep in mind that removing the master source or library also removes its downloads.

Check the job’s retention options before deleting it: Remove Download removes the job and every file copied as part of that job.

The hash-match filter requires an exact file match, so it can exclude subtitles for independently created files or recordings.

Check user permission when search is absent; check the search criteria and media identification when search runs but finds no subtitle.

Match the video filename and add the documented language or role tokens; renaming a track describes it but does not create new caption content.
