taylorstan 1 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I just created a new EMBY server today using release 4.0.2.0 and now the Emby app on my TCL TV is going batty. It keeps flashing like it's trying to paint the images but never succeeds. If I scroll down to TV shows or setting, it stops, but if I scroll back up, it starts all over again. I've turned off all settings: backdrops, themes, music, clear art. It's not just mine, also happens to my remote users too. Guessing it's a server thing, but i can't find anything that would cause it??? See the attached vid. Emby: 4.0.2.0 FreeNAS: 11.2-U3 TCL Roku plugin: 3.0.155 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speechles 1917 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Do you happen to have a USB thumb drive you can plug into the RokuTV. It can use this for both your Roku OTA LiveTV and the Emby Roku app. The Roku OTA LiveTV needs it for your pause buffer. Then you can pause for up to 30 minutes. Bathroom breaks. This gives a small mini-DVR that allows time-shifting for a small window to allow short phone call interruptions, etc.. It also lets the Emby Roku app store more information to cache. With a USB thumb drive the apps get extra space to cache objects. The Roku natively handles this. Roku developers don't even need to. The assets that can be offloaded will be when you use USB thumb. All apps benefit from this. Not only can you then load up to the maximum of 10,000 apps on your Roku (if you want who knows?). You can also benefit from faster app launches and image loading. This is completely up to you. If you already are using a USB thumb you need to clear the app cache. Delete all Emby Roku apps. Then reboot, do not skip the reboot after delete. This clears the cache and registry. Then reinstall the Emby Roku apps again. This should solve the issue but you have to set up the app all over again. Sometimes this has to be done unfortunately. Let us know is this isn't the case and it is something broken in our app. We always listen to feedback. If we do something wrong we admit it. This could also be the lack of the scaling libraries(*nix users suffer from this) to scale your images correctly. How large are your images?

ebr 14897 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 This is undoubtedly the lack of image processing on the server side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have uninstalled and rebooted then reinstalled the Emby app. All was fine until I did the new install of Emby. Also used the send log to developer from the app, when I turn on debugging.
