berrick 28 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hi All, Not posted for a while but looking for members thoughts on the following. Looking to replace the flat screen in the bedroom with a smart TV specifically to talk with my Emby server. Spec (UK) Freeview HD tuner, 1080 res, up to 28". Manufacturer, LG or Samsung though leaning more toward Samsung with smart hub. Which is more compatible with Emby currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentAssassin 96 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 If you go Samsung you will need to make sure you get a H series as that is the latest that the app can be installed on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37058 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I just want to update you all because I know you are waiting for an Emby for LG app. We have submitted it to the LG store but there appears to be a very long wait time in the app review process. Hopefully it will not be too much longer. Thank you for your patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos 147 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I have both and I would recommend samsung instead. The LG software is nice but very limited. I think the Samsug that cost a fraction of the cost of my LG does a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwilcox 78 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 screenplay for WebOS2 & WebOS3 is very close to being accepted by LG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henr0 0 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I love my LG TV and for the price it was the best deal. Great picture quality. But OMG WebOS is useless for apps. Not that you really need that many apps for a TV, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos 147 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I just purchased a 2016 Samsung TV and the software is much nicer than webos and there is plenty of content. I use a cable card and it can play DRM channels so I don't need to attach anything to it. The previous Samsung software was a little sluggish.

Sent from my SHIELD Tablet K1 using Tapatalk There is an update for the Emby Samsung app rolling out now so you should give it a shot. It's version 1.0.14 and it will most likely direct play everything you throw at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos 147 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Cool. It works great but ai don't see a TV guide. Is this the same app coming to LG or is it another app with the name screenplay? Edited November 8, 2016 by Deihmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwilcox 78 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The official emby app is in the works for LG as well. Not to be confused with screenplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Cameron 40 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I have both and would definitely go with Samsung. Smart hub is much nicer then WebOS IMO. However using either of them or any TV for that matter as my main media client (Emby/Plex) just doesn't cut it. Requires transcoding to often to lower quality as its unable to direct play video I shoot with high bitrates of 40 to 50Mbit without stutter and choppiness. Smart TVs just don't have the horsepower yet of a high end media box such as my Roku Ultra and Apple TV 4 which play those files with ease. I realize a lot of people wouldn't have this issue due to not having extreme bitrate video in their libraries and in that case a smart TV is fine.
