hbbs 6 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I've tested the newest beta and it does work after you move it to internal storage But I've noticed another problem. Just like it's happening to Plex it seems that hardware transcoding isn't working. Back when Emby was starting to implement hardware transcoding I helped Emby devs to speed things up. It happens that I still have the files that I used to benchmark the transcoding speed and I'm only getting 17 fps which is most likely the culprit of all that freezing I'm getting now playing the same two old files on the same hardware I used back then. I've attached some logs and a picture I've taken from stats for nerds. Hope that helps @Luke embyserver (2).txt ffmpeg-transcode-d5d8488c-ef21-41cd-8125-e6e7c4d723b6_1.txt hardware_detection-63782386573.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be able to provide this episode of The Wheel of Time for us to use testing? Does this only happen with media containing large amounts of subtitles?

I just PM'd you with a link in order for you to download it. No. It is happening with other HEVC files with one subtitle. (I have attached a log with one case of that) About the RPi. Yes it serving me files all those years I have a USB HDD Case connect to it. embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-14d41ff8-a8e6-4d10-a4b9-12355d0ad716_1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenFlix21 0 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 FYI: An app called DLNA Channels works well as a player on the shield using Emby as the server on that same shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 When using the DLNA Channels app on the Shield, how does it handle the same files you're currently having an issue with in Emby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will play everything through Emby server, while Emby shield client will play nothing. It appears I can’t seem to skip backwards, I’ll have to investigate that further. Kodi on shield will also direct play everything flawlessly. Another work around - since Emby client plays on my iPhone I can cast to shield as well. Not ideal, but all three of those work arounds are solid. Ps i haven’t migrated my data back to internal as it’s an impractical solution. These newer shields simply aren’t designed to store data.

If you installed the server on external storage, I believe you will have to move it to internal for Android 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenFlix21 0 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 It appears I only have to if I need to use the emby shield client as a player. Since I don't, I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 No, I think you got that backward. The server needs to be installed on Internal. It doesn't have the the correct permissions or rights when ran external. This was mentioned by one of the devs earlier in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've stated earlier, with the emby server installed on an external drive attached to the shield the emby client on my Apple devices plays all video without issue. The Emby client on my shield and roku refuse to play video served by the same emby server. Though I can play the video served by the emby server on the DLNA channels app on the same shield it is being served from. I believe my three Android 11 workarounds are more practical for me than those recommended by the devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 If it's a problem being on external storage as was mentioned earlier then anything direct playing will be fine. Anything that requires a remux or transcode will fail as it won't have needed permissions. However, I've been testing this on Internal storage and think I may be able to reproduce this. Let me communicate what I found to @Luke as we can see if this is possible the problem or not. Carlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14935 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hi. There are two issues here. The server does need to be on internal storage on Android 11 - which the Shield recently updated to. But then, after that, we had a build problem with the beta server on the Android platform that caused the same type of failure. The latest beta version, I believe, corrects that.

It's not available on the shield through google play store. If I go to my google account to install through the web it shows not compatible with my shield (see screenshot). Is there a url I can use to download the apk using the downloader app on my shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Yes you can grab the armv7 apk here: https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenFlix21 0 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 I was able to download and install the apk. It does react differently but with the same result. Before it would attempt to load for some 15-30 seconds then an incompatible stream error message would pop up and mark the video played. Now the video is almost immediately marked played and the error message pops up about 10 seconds later. Video attached. IMG_4003.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
