As mentioned before, I can add arguments to the setup, but I would need to know what to add??? Also realistically, once I tell the server I am using a reverse proxy, why does it even keep mentioning ports? all of my https traffic is directed to my truenas box by my router. Or does that switch literally just stop it looking for a local cert? Edited July 17, 2022 by Trevor68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor68 48 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Thank you for the definitive answer, that is all I needed to know, as in it will never work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor68 48 Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Ok thanks to some tips from @Luke regarding traefik I have made some small progress today. I enabled "Accept Forwarded headers" in traefik. This now means that both the web client AND Emby for Android 3.2.5.6 on my Samsung phone work superbly. Absolutely faultlessly in fact. So maybe this is a hardware issue with the GCwGTV perhaps??? As on it Android TV Emby still cannot see or login to the server. Emby for Android also cannot see it, but once manually added can login, but playback is still super sketchy. At this point the last thing I can test here is a Amazon Firestick, once I find it, but I'm at a loss as to why my phone works. You guys just got through telling me the redirects won't work in Android, yet they clearly are, at least on one device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1251 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 You could also compare your Traefik configuration with the one for Jellyfin. Don't know if they tested it against Android TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor68 48 Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) truecharts do not allow editing of the config.yml manually, so unless someone can tell the difference between a phone and a chromecast I guess this remains a mystery. Of note is that I am not alone with getting sketchy playback on the chromecast using the android client. Edited July 18, 2022 by Trevor68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Have you been able to resolve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor68 48 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 No, I did some further testing with my Android TV, it has all the same problems. My thought now is that everything that doesn't work is based on Android 10. The only thing that works happily is my phone, which is samsung but Android 12. I think it is going to be a device problem, especially as I saw the other thread regarding a GCwGTV behaving similarly. I think we wait for google to update the chromecasts to Android 11, if they ever do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 HI, can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and let us know how that compares? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor68 48 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 The same as the other gentleman, unusable. I understand you want this app to replace Android TV eventually, but for that to happen it would need to actually function, and it does not, at least on Android 10, which is most of the clients really, as in Android TV, Amazon Firestick and CCwGTV. I cannot believe you guys do not have any of these clients to test it on? How are you building and releasing without testing? It would take literally 2 minutes to realise just how bad it is.

Trevor68 48 Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Because it literally doesn't work? Lots of just Gray screens, then it might be play, but then if you pause it's all over and you need to reboot. It is literally that bad that I cannot understand how you think it does work???

I'm sure he thinks there is something specific to your setup different from their test setups and he is trying to pinpoint what that is so its fixed for others like you.

Trevor68 48 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) I have supplied logs every single time I have been asked for them, and no I'm not the only person who thinks it is completely unworkable, please see the thread about 7.1 sound . TBH, I'm flabbergasted that it works for anyone, as absolutely NOTHING plays here, at all. Every time I waste 5 mins loading it, I have to immediately revert to the android tv client, as it just doesn't play it anything. For reference my setup includes my 3 diff servers 2 Android TV's s, 2 CGwGTV and one Fire stick. I have tested your Android client on all of them now, and it does not work on any, hence my complete surprise that only 2 people are telling you this. For reference 99 % of my files are simply 1080p HEVC H265 and in every instance the moment I revert to the android tv client everything is perfect again. If be pretty surprised if it is my setup but sure let's go there again, what do you want tested this time?

Trevor68 48 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Just for fun I just sideloaded 3.2.58 onto a chromecast again. To my surpise it did actually play some 1080p content this time, albeit slow to respond and a few double presses required, so still not tempting to use daily. Emboldened by this I once again tried a 4K HEVC HDR Movie, but alas no, complete and total failure to even attempt playing it. Reload Emby for Android TV, same movie works fine. Interestingly, there I do actually have one place where the android client works perfectly, and that is on my only android 12 device, a samsung Z Fold 3, there it works perfectly, and absolutely as well as the Android TV client does on my Android 10 clients.

Trevor68 48 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) I keep sideloading exactly what I am told to every time. I have been an emby user since MB2 days, and work in IT, so it is unclear why the assumption is always that it is my setup, or that I'm "doing it wrong". Anyhow the last one simply came from the download page. https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/raw/master/android/emby-android-google-armeabi-v7a-release.apk I have now noted 2 other users saying the lag makes this app unusable.

Trevor68 48 Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) absolutely nothing. I clicked play, a circle spun for a split second, and that was that, I'm still looking at the movie screen. Also normal 1080p playback is laggy as hell too, requires multiple attempts to start a show, then usually if it does start, it cannot be stopped. my usual server is an I5 NUC, I now have a server on my Gaming rig for 4K playback using the RX6700XT, and of course there is the test server on my truenas scale box as well. I have tested your app against all 3, on both my GCwGTV units, my firestick, and one of my android TV's. The result does not vary, ever. TBH I'm beginning to forget quite why I paid for this software, as I'm pretty much just using Kodi now because of this, and finding it not only does everything I need, but also a lot more. All on the exact same hardware. Edited July 28, 2022 by Trevor68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
