Introducing Emby for LG Smart TV's


Luke

Installation

 

Users with an LG Smart TV can install now from the LG App Store. The app currently supports LG Smart TV's running Web OS 3.0+. We are working on update to support older versions of Web OS.

 

A Modern App for Modern Times

 

The interface for this app has been built with HTML, but this is nothing like the web apps you're accustomed to. This has been built purely with modern features that bring a level of performance that wasn't even possible a year ago at this time.

Rediscover your Content with Recommendations

 

A popular feature from other Emby apps is finally making it's way to Emby Theater.

New Music Interface

 

The app finally has a design that makes sense for music.

Live TV & DVR

 

Watch Live TV or manage your recordings.

Details Gone Vertical

 

A common complaint over the detail screen of the current Emby Theater is that it's pretty but slow to navigate. We went back to the drawing board and decided to take a little inspiration from Android TV. It is now much, much faster to browse through detail screens.

Learn How to Create Skins

 

Can you do HTML and JavaScript? Then why not fork the default skin?

 

http://emby.media/community/index.php?/blog/1/entry-302-learn-how-to-create-skins-for-emby-theater/

 

Let us know what changes and improvements you're able to come up with. You can even release your forked version to the Emby community!

The update will cause the audio to be converted server side in real-time during playback, and will leave the video untouched, so the overhead on the server will be minimal.  This works well except for 4K/HEVC files, generally with higher bitrates as the TV generally struggles with streaming at that rate and it may pause frequently during playback. In this case, adding an AC3 track (if one doesn't already exist) is useful.  TrueHD and TrueHD/ATMOS audio has the same issue as DTS (and the same fix)  

Thank you for the intel, sir! (I quite like good information :) ).

FWIW, I do prefer 1080p/HVEC's that I have over the x264 due to (aside from the decode/transcode cycles req'd) their "quality" losses being marginal.
I can't wait for the update!

What year/model is your TV?  DTS is no longer supported in 2020/CX models, but this will automatically convert to AC3 in the next release

My Emby server (Windows) just updated a few days ago to 4.4.3.0... Is this supposed to be the correct version?

(I just ran video w DTS audio and it reported as good direct in 'stats for nerds'... and yet no audio) @SamES

You will need the next LG client version which will add this feature.  Hopefully it is released soon

Most of my content is in some derivative of proprietary DTS/DTS-HD, therefore requiring conversion. This is a hassle (not insurmountable, but this feature has kept me from buying the permanent premier).

I will upgrade my TV app asap when it comes out!

(please don't subscription lock it...)

still would love to have the same functionality as the chromecast app on the LG TV. The chromecast app is the only one I know of that can do chapter browsing yet the LG TV version cannot.

We are used to roku which is fast and this is down wait, down wait etc etc

Yes very slow LG app and why ask preplay 7 seconds  premium subs?

We do not need premium we need only playback form server.

Have you checked the playback settings in the client settings menu?  You need to disable autoplay next episode.  I don't think it's possible to autoplay without a countdown if that's what you are wanting.

I just got a LG OLED CX television. 

Does this install a Emby client on the TV? 

So do I also need Emby server on another computer?

Hi, yes it is available in the LG store, and you'll need your own Emby Server on another machine or device:

Great!  Thanks.  The LG TV app installation, I am sure is super easy. I will try to setup the server in a docker on Unraid, which is a learning experience for me, so that will slow me down a bit.  I have seen you do have a Emby docker, so that is great too.  I am getting excited now!

Hello, I have the LG OLED65C19 from 2021 and I believe that the TV has Webos 6.0 installed as OS. Unfortunately there is no Emby in the app store. Is there any plan to provide this yet? Greetings Daniel

Is there a rough time estimate as to when that update drops?

I'm just asking since I got a LG OLED55C12LA.DEUQLJP (WebOS version 03.11.21) and I can't find the app in the store as well.
