Now get Emby on your Nexus Player or other Android TV (5.0+ with LeanBack interface) device.

 

See what you want - right now

 

The new Emby Android TV app puts your content right where you want it - up front and easy to find.

 

Designed with with typical usage in mind, you won't have to go hunting through your library to find the content you are most likely wanting to watch right now. The home screen shows you the items you were watching but hadn't finished, your latest un-watched movies, the next episode of all your current TV shows and what's on Live TV right now (Live TV service required).

 

In fact, you don't even have to enter the app to get to your most wanted content. The new Emby for ATV app uses the Recommendation capabilities of the device to put your most likely items right on the player home screen.

Rediscover your content

 

The app also uses the power of the server to help you find movies you may want to watch for the first time or again and again.

Easily see everything you care about

 

In the situations where you really do want to browse around your library, the Emby for ATV app makes it a breeze with an intelligent, fast and highly graphical interface that puts all the relevant information you want to see right where you can see it and multiple ways to view and browse your content.

The next of a new generation

 

The new Emby for ATV app is the next step in our new generation of more intelligent apps for all your devices. Designed more like the web client and fantastic Windows 8.1 and Win Phone apps, the Emby for ATV app continues our commitment to make Emby the absolute best solution for your personal media collection. Look for new apps for other platforms (like Fire TV) and newly renovated ones for Android mobile and iOS in the future.

Wow. This looks amazing. I've been reluctant to get the Nexus player due to lack of ethernet port but now I am tempted. Keep up the good work as always.

All Android TV devices are running Lollipop.

Cool, thanks for the update Luke....just another one...does this version of Android support de-interlacing so that Live TV looks good?

 

How about pass-through on the audio so that DTS, 5.1, ACC etc. works?

I was reluctant too. bit the bullet and found that

- it works very well over wifi

- A wird connection works well with an OTG adapter

 

Lack of an ethernet port should not affect your buying decision

The Fire TV is not an "Android TV" device.  We will have a separate app for it.

Looks amazing. Quick question does it play background videos like on embyc (mbc) Npv. Also doe it play videos directly or does it rely on transcoding?

Thanks

Video backdrops and theme songs are not yet supported.

 

How it plays will depend largely on your content but the device is a streaming device and will not access the files directly over the network.

I can confirm that this works great over WiFi on my ADT-1 Android TV box. I only played one TV episode, but it was much better than Plex. The UI is more intuitive than Plex, and when I use Plex the video freezes at least once, usually twice through the duration of the episode, and I have to back out and resume the video. Emby didn't freeze, which was refreshing.

 

Would it be possible to make the main color of the app user selectable? No offense, but forest green is just about my least favorite color.
