For the Emby FireTV app... Could a Filter be added for TV Shows for the TV Show "STATUS"? ("Continuing" \ "Ended"). It would need to be able to be set and always stay on until cleared. It would be similar to the TV Show Filter in the Chrome app. (Pic Below). Thank You!!

Hallo Gemeinde, Mir ist aufgefallen, dass nur noch auf meinem FireTv Stick mehr als ein Genre beim ausgewälten Film angezeigt wird. Gerade auf Mobilgeräten war es schon nice direkt auf die Genres "klicken" zu können statt sich umständlich durchs Menü zu hangeln.

Obviously the Shield does. I used to have a 2017 Shield but have sold it. I've read that the latest Fire Cube 3rd gen and Fire Stick 4K Max both support HD audio bitstreaming. Most of the articles mention Plex and it seems everything definitely works in Kodi.I plan to buy the 4k Max. Can anyone recommend the best setup? Right now I have an older FireStick4K. I tried to test things with Kodi, tried v20 and 21. Tried EmbyCon and it has plaback errors on every item. Plus the embuary skin from Kodi store didn't install, I tried the skin from Emby beta repo - Esturary Embycon, and it only showed 2 menu items - movies and tv recently added/in progress, nothing like Embuary screenshots, and it fails to play. Next I tried to install the latest Emby Next gen 10.x, and it failed to install. I'd appreciate if someone can tell me how to get a setup that looks like native Emby but gives me full playback on the newer Fire Tv devices. Or does the Emby Android/Ftv client natively support HD audio on these 2 devices, which would be great too.

FireTV Cube Gen 3 freezing during playback but Plex fine
nglunma18 posted a topic in Android TV / Fire TV
Hi, I recently bought a FireCube 3rd Gen and have generally been impressed with it so far, after using Emby on Roku sticks and a Roku steambar without issue for years. However, I'm noticing repeated freezing of films through Emby on the FC but when trying them on Plex, they play perfectly all the time. I've side loaded the Android (non TV version) of Emby too and that's been better but still with repeated freezing. The freezing doesn't happen at the same point in the files in question, and are playing off a Synology DS218+ which plays the same content upstairs on the Roku streambar. I've not had to troubleshoot an issue like this so any advice would be great as to a starting point please. Thanks -
Hello the community, I have been searching the existing threads for 2 days, and although few ones where closely similar to my issue, it was not exactly the same and/or the fix was not working for me when there was one. I have to admit, I'm beginning to lose my mind over this, it is starting to drive me nuts. To give some background, I recently upgraded my sound system from a Yamaha YSP 2700 that served me well for 5 years, to a Samsung Q990B soundbar. My PC is hosting the server and the media files, and I am connected on 1Ghz ethernet network. My client is running on Fire TV 4k max also connected with ethernet, and I have a 75" 4k TCL tv for the display. In my initial setup, my fire tv was hooked on the tv through HDMI, and my tv hooked to the soundbar with HDMI over the eARC ports. This was not working at all when I wanted to play the 7.1 TrueHD stream, and was only working if I changed to a secondary audio stream, such as DTS or 5.1. Next I tried to hook the fire tv directly to the soundbar, and I saw some improvement here, as I now was able to play the default audio stream (TrueHD 7.1), however, using the nerds stats I found out it was somewhat decoding the audio. Both the fire tv and the soundbar are supposed to support Dolby Atmos, however, it appears that when I play a file, for a few seconds, the audio is showing TrueHD Direct Play, to then switch to : Software Decode. I have also noticed when I pressed info on the soundbar remote, that the audio was played in PCM, I don't know why. I'm not very experienced with this type of setup and ask your forgiveness if this post is not clear, or lacking details, with some guidance, I will be happy to provide more infos that could help to get through this. Thank you embyserver.txt

Using both FireTV and Android apps. HDR Format: Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-Ray Compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible TV triggered HDR. However, HDR format: Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, Version 1, HDR10+ Profile A compatible TV triggered Dolby Vision. TV is LG C1 so supports Dolby Vision, HDR 10 and HLG. No HDR10+ support as you can see both have the same DV specifications, only difference is the extra compatible track. Is there any reason by DV isn't being triggered for example 1?

First and foremost EMBY is a great product... I love it. I'm using my iPad as a remote to control EMBY on my fireTV to play music. This saves me having to turn on my projector and pulling down my screen. What I do is: Cast to "fireTV" Select - Remote control Select - music album and play but I can't Stop or Pause it or select another song in the album, am I missing something? Any help would be most appreciated

I wondered how much effort it would be to implement an option to enable the on screen keyboard on the FireTV app (And likely others) to be in QWERTY layout rather than ABCDE?

So -- I hate to be the kid who reminds the teacher that she forgot to assign homework, but ... I have been trialing Emby (as referenced in my earlier posts) in a comparison vs Plex. The main TV uses a FireTV Stick. We do only in-home streaming with no 'users' (only my wife and I using a client on living room TV and a Roku client on the bedroom TV). It was my understanding after looking at the feature matrix that when the FireTV client trial had expired, I would have to either pay for Premier or pay for unlocking the app (or go back to Plex). My trial is definitely expired on the FireTV client -- but I can't see any change in functionality. The app knows it's expired -- but I can play programs on it just fine. The feature-matrix led me to believe that there would be 'limited playback' (whatever that means). Is the feature-matrix correct? Or because I'm only serving up local files during the test, is that covered in basic functionality? I'm prepared to receive the ire of other users if this has been that way a while and everybody else had the good sense not to point it out. :-)

Hey Guys, I have my Amazon Fire TV which has Emby on it. The server for Emby is installed on a Windows 10 PC via an ethernet network in my home. Is it possible for someone to hack into the Fire TV and acces my PC? Fire TV only has access to the pC through Emby.

I am running my Emby Media Server on my PC and streaming it onto my Sony Bravia 42'' TV via Fire Stick. I am new to running media servers so I had questions about the service: 1) Why doesn't the application support certain subtitles format like ASS? 2) My movies library is very poorly organized by Emby despite being properly named. Plex organizes it neatly however. Same issue with my stand up files. What can be the reason for this? 3) How do I disable transcoding altogether? 4) I can run Emby without paying for it on my Fire Stick, right? 5) How do I disable Emby creating chapters automatically? It creates a chapter after every 30 seconds. I would also like to disable seeing chapters altogether when I am watching media on Emby. 6) Why does Emby need to transcode the video file just because the subtitles are not supported? 7) How do I allow the app to have a temporary memory of files that I've played? Ideally I want it to have a minute-long memory of whatever file I am playing so that it doesn't have to buffer every time I rewind a file. A minute-long cache. 8. My performance on Emby is significantly better than with Plex (free). For example I was running a x265 file of Impractical Jokers and Plex would handle it highly erratically. Going forward when I rewind, buffer for a few seconds every time I wanted to rewind. Emby can handle much more smoothly and buffering is probably only a second or two.

Hallo zusammen, ich habe auf meinem FireTV 4k die Emby App. Da ich Kinder habe möchte ich nicht das die meinem Account nutzen können. Daher gehe ich in der APP immer auf "ausloggen"! Scheinbar bringt das aber nichts, starte ich die App meldet er sich automatisch mit meinem Profil an ohne das man auch nur ein PW eingeben müsste. Woran kann das liegen? gruß

Hi There, Currently test driving emby before I hopefully switch from Plex. Run into a few bugs, this being one of them. When using Live TV (via m3u) if a stream/channel is down - the channel fails, you are returned to the previous screen and given the message "Unable to tune channel at this time" (as expected). However, the app then freezes, before restarting it's self and sending you to the home screen. This does not occur when using an external video player such as VLC. The same behaviour appears if you back out of the stream while it is still buffering. On a related note it takes a long time (approximately 30 seconds) for the stream to fail/cancel. TIA

Moin, ich habe vor kurzem meine Kodi-Datenbank von Maria-DB auf Emby umgestellt.. soweit so gut und sehr zufrieden. Auf einem Client (FireTV Stick 2ndGen, Kodi 18.7.2, Emby-Addon native mode) habe ich das Problem, dass sobald das Emby-Addon aktiv ist, Kodi nach ca. 10min während einer aktiven Wiedergabe crashed.. hierbei ist es egal, ob ich es über die Datenbank abspiele oder manuell über die eingefügte NFS-Share-Source.. deaktiviere ich das Addon, läuft die Wiedergabe durch.. Bevovor Kodi crashed gibt es Bildruckler und Aussetzer.. Anbei das Kodi- und Emby-Log mit aktivierten Debug sowie der Inhalt der advancedsettings.xml.. Könnte eventuell der Dienst "hooks.monitor" von Emby die Probleme verursachen? PS: auf einem zweiten Client (vero4k+, Kodi 18.7) gibt es diese Probleme nicht. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <advancedsettings> <cache> <buffermode>1</buffermode> <memorysize>209715200</memorysize> <readfactor>4</readfactor> </cache> </advancedsettings> kodi_18072020_Debug.log embyserver_18072020_Debug.txt

Now that Google and Amazon are playing nice again and they've added the YouTube app back to Fire devices, can we get the trailer option added back to the FireTV emby app? Would make my life so much better as my wife constantly nags me that she can't watch a trailer to see what the movie is about lol.

When using the audio player is there a way to choose what gets displayed for pictures/album art? Also, this screen is rather dark, is there a way to control the brightness?

I have 3 Fire TV's in the house and I've tried to connect to my local media server on all three. Here is the rundown: I'm connecting to it locally I'm not using HTTPS to no certificates are involved. I have tried through the browser on the standard port 8096 and it works fine. I tried the android app. It works fine. I tried the LGOS app and yes it works fine too I've tried restarting the router. Server. etc. I've tried to connect through the "connect" feature. No go. I did the same thing on the LGOs app and after I logged in and submitted the pin it automatically forwarded to the next screen. This was NOT the case on the FireTV app. It just stayed on the screen with the pin. There is a next button and I tried it but it does not forward me through the setup. I've tried to enter the address manually. It sometimes adds but when I try to select it it says its unavailable.The prompt indicates I can try to wake it or remove it. It fails at waking but I can remove it. I have sent in reports from each of the FireTVs Just for good measure I've configured port forwarding and can access the server outside the network as well. (using a browser) No I don't have any firewalls in the way. I don't use windows. IPTables is not active. Emby is running in docker on an ubuntu server. I've exhausted my options and come to the conclusion by the process of elimination that the FireTV application is broken. The application version is 1.7.92a it seems. It was working previously. Yesterday I believe? Any help or guidance for next steps would be appreciated. I'm at the end of my rope. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Ive been using the Emby App for Fire TV for a while now & i really like it. Is it possible to setup the homescreen within the Emby Fire TV app to display my "active recordings"? I am able to set this ion my Windows PC & also my Huawei smart phone / tablet. It would be a really nice feature to have on the Fire TV app. Thanks. Neil.

FireTV Cube not refreshing home screen after episode watched
MyronAub posted a topic in Android TV / Fire TV
I have been having a recurring problem for the last week or so with my 2019 second generation FireTV Cube: most times if I watch an episode to the end and click the green Stop button then backup to the Home Screen, the Home Screen doesn't update "Next Up" and keeps showing that episode in position 2, 3, 4 or whatever instead of hiding the watched episode and showing the next epsiode of that particular series in position 1 of "Next Up" similarly, most times if I pause an episode then backup to the Home Screen where I can see the episode in "Continue Watching" and then resume watching the episode it does the same as above but also shows the now fully watched episode as still only part watched in "Continue Watching" If I use the Windows client to view the Home Screen it correctly shows the next episode and doesn't show fully watched episodes in "Continue Watching." However the only way I can get the FireTV cube to refresh the Home Screen is to restart the FireTV; typically it then works correctly for a few episodes before eventually again failing to refresh/update the Home Screen. Any idea what is causing this and how to fix? -
EmbyCon crashes Kodi on Ubuntu X86-64 system and on FireTV Stick 4k when scrolling list
ck3mp posted a topic in Kodi
Hi all brand new to Emby (and EmbyCon) today and really getting stuck in and its brilliant! I have an issue that I have come accross that I can't seem to solve, that I wonder could it be a bug? When I scroll down the Movies listing (in All Movies under EmbyCon) Kodi crashes. I have two installs and both act slightly differently but are triggered in the exact same way. Result when the above is done: FireStick 4k - Kodi crashes and drops back to the FireTV menu Ubuntu 18.04 Server - Kodi service remains running and even shows under "top" but the TV switches to no source found (its like the HDMI has been pulled out but Kodi is still running) My Setup: Emby running under Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 server with Kodi Leia 18.5 frontend and EmbyCon installed from the Emby repo. Fire TV 4k with Kodi Leia 18.5 running and again EmbyCon from the repo. Log from the Ubuntu Server Kodi setup take imedietly after the screen goes to "no source found": http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DyVHMHT7wn/ Thanks, -
Hi everyone, So the last couple of hours I was trying to get some 4K HDR files (HEVC encoded) to play back on my TV, an LG something-something 4K HDR capable TV. Following clients with their respective results: Apple TV (some 4K capable version): Direct Playing, no issues with .mkv container, HEVC video and TrueHD audio. Not working properly because of the native client not being integrated (or something like that :-) ) as of now: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/70719-thoughts-on-the-best-emby-app-and-best-streaming-device-please/page-4&do=findComment&comment=780940 What's the status on this? LG TV App: Direct streaming. Server says that it is "streaming" / transcoding because of an incompatible container format. Technically working, but stutters while playing back. At some times these stutters just feel like the movie was filmed with 15FPS, sometimes it stops completely for ~1s, then plays another 2-ish seconds. Annoying, cannot watch a movie with that. FireTV (3rd Gen): Direct playing. As my 3rd and last device, finally working without any issues. So good results with the FireTV, the other two are unusable. Regarding the AppleTV: An update and / or an ETA would be greatly appreciated :-) Regarding the LG TV: Network is GBit, so it shouldn't be that. I don't know what to search for though, so if anyone has tips on how to debug it, I'd be happy to try some more things out :-)

I'm coming away from Windows media centre and am finally sellting on Emby as a replacment over plex. One thing I was holding onto was an ageing xbox 360 in the bedroom, I was hoping to still use it with a client app. Plex have one, though it is well out of date and emby only exists as a plugin for media centre, which I am replacing. So I have decided to bite the bullet and get rid of the 360 and replace it with a streaming stick, but which one is best out of Fire TV or Chromecast? Which will be more 'future proof'? Has someone used the apps from Plex and Emby on both, how do they compare? Cheers for any input!

Happens with live TV or playback of movies/shows. It'll play for about 15 seconds and then skip back 15 seconds and repeat that. ffmpeg-directstream-8fe9f110-beb7-4d7c-af02-164bd2952ba1_1.txt embyserver.txt
