AngelOfTheOdd 6 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 The downside would probably be that since it's not from the app store, it won't be updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william emby conn 2 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I think Emby for Android has a much much better user interface as well as functioning better. I am using Emby for Windows server version 4.7.8 with Emby for Android 3.2.81 and have not noticed skipping problems. I am not sure when it was fixed, but I thing it was possibly a server issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Graham 5 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Similar story for me; NVIDIA Shield (2.0.83g), NUC12WSKi7000 server (4.7.11.0), QNAP TVS873 NAS, all on local network. The freezes when FF/Rewind are very frustrating. In comparison, everything is golden on Emby Theater on a separate PC on the same network. I managed to sideload the recommended version of the app to my Shield, and after a quick test it seems to be better. Are there any plans to fix the "normal"/store version of the app, so that sideloading isn't necessary? I imagine there's a large percentage of users for whom the sideload process would be a step too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effinG 2 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Sideloading Android version has finally cured the issue. Is there an expected date for the new consolidated app? Even a rough estimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtoucan 0 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I have successfully side-loaded the Android APK and signed into the server but every time I try to watch anything it tells me that I need to pay for Premiere. I have already paid for the unlock on Android TV (same account as Android) but the app doesn't give me the option to restore an unlock or purchase a new one looks like I'm screwed.

shocker 113 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) Just tested on my shield and the issue is the same via NGINX proxy for FW/REV. Emby server 4.8.0.21 with Android TV 2.0.83g and 2.0.85g. If I'm FW 2-3 times (and the FW is in the pre-loaded video zone) it works. Outside that it's freezing.

I am also having this issue, I side loaded the Emby For Android to fix that fast forward issue but it asked for Premiere even with me paying for unlock on Android TV before.

H4N5 1 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 It's 2023 snd this issue still persists with the app in the store. Users need to sideload an older version to fix it. How can that be a thing? I feel like with my Emby Premiere i supported a dead project.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScifiContinuum 1 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I all of a sudden am having issues with ShieldTV. Skip Intro forces the file to lag and skip. I usually have to start it over from the beginning for it to paly properly. Seems to be a new issue. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks.

effinG 2 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Can we just deprecate the Android TV app on play store and default to the standard Android app? It's a hassle manually sideloading on every device as I own several of them. The only reason I changed over was due to the FF/RW issues. The standard app is great btw!

daldana 47 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Personally, I hope the Android TV app stays up as the "standard" Android app doesn't work as well on my Shield. I still can't ff/rw on Live TV, it doesn't accept number inputs, etc. I use Emby as much for Live TV viewing as I do for recordings or my movie library, so I'd like to keep those functions working. As an aside, it seems (IMHO) that us Live TV viewers don't get as much attention as other parts of Emby do, but I guess that should be a new thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingede 2 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Had this problem over several devices for quite a while, all running 2.0.83g, changed over to beta 2.0.87g and has resolved the issue. When can we see this fix in stable release channel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damascus400 0 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Hello there, May I ask if there is a current workaround to this problem without having to pay for the app again ? I am currently on firestick and if I have to rewind for 2 seconds to catch some conversation which I didn't hear, stream stops. I have to manualy exit and return to the media from the homepage. Moreover, I'm having an issue with sync, so the media doesn't "remember" which time I was when I exited, so I have to start it from the beginning. Since I can't fast forward efficiently, I'm essentially screwed, because I can't fast forward to my previous position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hope to promote the beta fairly soon but you can also sideload it if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
