Florian2000 17 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 maybe I'm rephrasing my question: is there any good tv out there where emby is running stable and looks similar to the web app? of course I would like to see it on HiSense e.g. Hisense 43AE7200F <-- but if it is not coming let's say till the end of this year. I may buy another TV. And I want to buy the TV within the next week. So it would be nice to have some hints for the decision process. Thx!

Carlo 4331 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hi, wouldn't it be easier and better to just purchase a device to put in from of the TV? A standalone box is going to be faster and likely have more functionality than the OS built into the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thing is...my parents are pretty old...every change is kind of a hell. The more devices the more likely they are overstrained. So the goal is to have emby on the TV (would be the easiest way) or either somehow on the VU+ box. If all else failes (worst case secenario) I plug-in a fire-TV and here we go...but I know the more remote controls they have...it will be hard work till they are able to use it correctly...

Carlo 4331 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) FireTV has an awful IMHO homepage that can make running apps hard. Instead I'd check out the MiBox-S. For a low cost ($60) device it packs a lot of power and should be easier to use then a smart TV. Â Edited September 2, 2021 by cayars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there it is also possible to install the emby app, correct? Ok, so another solution for the FireTV... <-- btw: IÂ personally think the UserInterface of the FireTV is not that bad...but of course in this ecosystem you don't have the power of a native playstore which is a downside. But for me it is sufficient because I can run Netflix / Prime Video / emby / Disney+ <-- that's all I need for now. Besides the third party boxes. Do you have recommendations for SmartTVs, too?

Carlo 4331 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yes, sorry about the typo on that. You can run any Android TV app on the MiBox-S as well. It's kind of like an Shield TV "Light" in that it does almost everything the Shield TV will do except for the advanced audio passthrough. I have both the FireStick 4K and MiBox-S (as well as other clients) and prefer the MiBox-S as it has a cleaner front end as well as Google Play store vs Amazon store. But either device will work. Short of spending huge money on a Smart TV using either of these boxes in front of a TV is almost always going to run faster as well as have more functionality. A lot cheaper than buying a new TV as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4331 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Oh yea, in that case it makes total sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the problematic of every TV...the get in the years...no updates or if there are updates the speed often really sucks because of the new software. In those cases an external box is always a wise decision because the screen does work for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
