hi there, I have checked back and the interlaced one does not play, however there is other interlaced recordings that do play. I checked this in mediainfo. there is other recordings with scan type MBAFF, some play, some do not. so I don't think this is the problem. To confuse you even more i have recorded the same programme on the same channel, a quiz show, 1 plays 1 does not. it seems to be luck of the draw. if I start a playback on the other lg tv or emby windows app and resume on the lgtv with the issue, it will playback ok. just does not playback from the beginning. ive attached to pictures with stats for nerds, everything i watch on emby is direct play. thanks

Because the Playstore for stable is no longer being updated as Emby transitions to their new Android app and they were told they can't update both at this time. Which is why you need to either join the beta Playstore, or sideload if you want to remain current with ATV. Otherwise, try the new app and run both.

@LukeI'd advise to also enforce CDATA tags if special characters are going to be supported, otherwise the XML (might not be) considered valid.

Are you sure that username is correct? It doesn't look right. I'm going to assume you are trying to connect to someone else's server? Have you tried contacting them for assistance? This forum is typically for those who are running their own server.

What’s weird still is YouTube trailers are still broken in 2.1.23 not until I updated to beta 2.1.44 or 2.1.29g it fixed it? Yet 2.1.28 YT trailers were fixed so why is 2.1.29g not on the play store to resolve this?

The one that won't play is interlaced, so that may be part of the problem. Can you please play them both back, and for the one works, please confirm the playback method via stats for nerds - I suspect it is DirectPlay for the container, video and audio. For the one that does not play, does it produce any ffmpeg directstream or transcode logs? If it does, can you please attach? Thanks

Fair enough, although the date updated is incorrect, as 2.1.23 was released 7 December 2025. In any case, you'll always get the latest version from the Play Store. If you want to try the beta version, join the Beta chanel as stated earlier. Everything released after 2.1.23 is listed here.

Well it’s not 2.1.29 it’s still 2.1.23g?

There's no point in masking local addresses (except making troubleshooting harder by an order of magnitude).

It's been many years that I've been waiting for this feature to come back, and I think this idea is the best compromise to accommodate both types of users: people who want the features and people who don't want the features. In my opinion, people who want the "Immersive Gesture Playback Controls" are usually the ones who are willing to spend time tinkering with the settings and to toggle certain features on/off. For Apple users, they may have the Infuse app that works perfectly well with Emby Server. However, as an Android user myself, the closest thing to Infuse I can find is Vidhub, it has the immersive gesture control just like Infuse but it is nowhere close to Infuse/Emby in terms of the automatic management of downloaded media like TV Shows, the downloaded media are not automatically grouped together into seasons and series, the downloads do not automatically include external subtitle files from the server, and the series can't be play successively one after another. My conclusion is that the original Emby for Android app is still the best app for watching downloaded media from Emby Server. I have been a lifetime Emby Premiere user for quite many years now and I really think that this feature would be a huge plus to many users who enjoy the immersive experience of gesture controls. So if there is any possible way that this feature can be brought back to life, I would sincerely be very grateful. Again, thank you for all the hard work and I truly appreciate everything that the Emby team has done.

It shouldn't matter what is listed here, as the Play Stores will give you the latest version, whether Stable of Beta. Hopefully @ebrcan confirm the current version of Stable for Google and Amazon, as I am seeing 2.1.29 as the Stable version on the forums, but that may just apply to the Google release. Then I will update.

you are abolsuteky right. I will refer the issue to the development team.

Hey..I just tested on my mobile (Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold) with 3.5.28 Same scene no subtitles. Can you check if it's direct play or transcoding. If I transcoder the subtitles immediately show up but direct play isn't showing it. Also my server 4.9 - could that have anything to do with it?

Good Call! I was searching for categories of movies a couple months ago & never cleared the filters when I stopped looking. Once I cleared the filters, the "missing" movies all showed up. Thank you!!

Thank you please do @CBersas this whole navigating Emby versions is confusing to me and my mate? I had to do trial n error with the diff versions i.e. android vs android tv

My initial tests on a Samsung phone running Emby for Android 3.5.31 and Emby Server 4.10.0.8 shows the subtitles Thus was the selected subtitle stream and playback does show subtitles I will next try on an Nvidia Shield

Thanks a lot, will investigate these as they have quite nice designs

You are correct, 2.1.23g is the latest Google play store stable release, whereas 2.1.29a was the latest Amazon stable release. Maybe @CBerscan update the Latest Versions page to reflect that to avoid confusion. You can use the Beta release notes to see changes from .23 to .29 and beyond. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/42240-emby-android-tv-release-notes-beta/

@LukeI'm pretty sure that's the Missing Episodes prompt which sorts episodes by air/release date. @flashmcarthurare you sure you attached the correct screenshot? The actual episode list should look something like this: Or in the season overview:

Try reading this. Emby Premiere Purchase/Subscription Support - Emby Community

While I understand the current implementation, I'd also like to see better continuity across all Emby platforms, regardless of whichever version, app or browser is being used.

Hmm yes appears to be from here but now I’m more confused? How is Emby client 2.1.29 here? It’s not even in the android tv play store? 2.1.23 from Dec 24 still showing there? there’s no release notes for 2.1.29 either?

Assuming it’s this? 4.9.3.0? Is that the latest too?

Oh what? Why’s that? I have no idea I’m on someone else’s server
