Emby for android tv - Scheduled or event triggered channel updates on android tv oreo channel The Android tv home screen channels in Oreo are a great way to quickly select what to watch right from the Android tv home screen and Emby has a couple of great channels available today. Unfortunately, you have to enter the emby app for the channels to update which loses the advantage of having channels as they are not up to date when you need them, so I would suggest that we add a scheduled task that updates the emby channels or even better, if there is an event that triggers an update when you start your tv. Typical usecase: Today when I start my tv for example in the morning, I get suggestions to resume the tv show I currently watch, but the suggestions in the channels are old and I have to open emby, wait a couple of seconds, and then go back to the leanback launcher and the channels are is updated. This use case is common when you have multiple emby clients you use, and their 'local' playback positions are out of sync. There is an example of this in the webpage I link to below in the section "scheduling channel updates" and should be a fast copy paste with a couple of minor adjustments to the code. https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/tv-channels-programs/index.html?index=..%2F..%2Fio2018#1

Hello, I'm having a problem casting from my Pixel XL to my Chromcast Ultra. When i hit the cast button on my Pixel XL running 8.0.0 within the Emby app, my Chromecast does not show up. If I go to a Windows 10 machine and login to the Emby Server and then hit the cast button within Chrome (on the emby webpage) i can see my Chromecast. I also tried from a Pixel that is running Android 7.1.2 and this worked. I can only think the Emby support team needs to update their App to support Android 8.0.0. I'm hoping someone else is experiencing this or has a fix for it. Below is all of my information and troubleshooting steps. Troubleshooting Steps: rebooted chromecast ultra rebooted pixel xl uninstalled and reinstalled emby for android rebooted the emby server Chromecast Ultra System Firmware Version: 92486 Cast Firmware Version: 1.26.92486 Pixel XL Running Android 8.0.0 Emby for Android version 2.9.51 Emby Server Running on Synology Version 3.2.30.0
