Exist2Resist 2 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Just purged the official OS from my 2015 Android Shield TV Pro and Installed Lineage OS 18.1 (Android 11) with Google Apps. Installed Emby from the play store but anything I play gives me a black screen after a few seconds of playback. There is sound but no video. Playing the same content in Kodi on the SATV using EmbyCon is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Can you please play that item for a few seconds and then follow the instructions to send a log from the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exist2Resist 2 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Quote If you are using Android TV/Fire TV and your problem is with playback, please send the log directly from the playback OSD. There will be an option on the "cog" menu. Sent the logs. 6:27pm MST. Played the show, after a few seconds the screen went black and audio cut out, audio cut back in, and video came back again. Pressed button on remote to bring up menu for the cog, and video cut out again, but audio remained. Was able to navigate to menu and send logs. I just tried to play HDR content at a high bit rate and it crashed my system. Looks like something to do with resolution switching.

Luke 37060 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 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...
Exist2Resist 2 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) It's worse with that app. It completely crashes my HDMI and loses the signal to my receiver. Edited July 5, 2022 by Exist2Resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok the Android app is no longer crashing the system, but still blanking the video and freezing. Edited July 5, 2022 by Exist2Resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any errors from the player in your log but there are a lot of basic network level "connection refused" errors throughout. You may have just sent the log before the player errored out. The display issue you show above is probably related to the OS not really being designed for a TV so the DPI is being reported incorrectly. You may be able to fix that manually.

I did it because I was tired of seeing ads for transgenders, homosexuality, and other sexually explicit content on the home page. I will not have my kids stare at that garbage, and I will not have a company profit from ads for a product that I paid premium dollars for. The OS is actually designed for Android TV, LIneage OS 18.1 foster is for Nvidia Shield TV Devices. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/foster/ Kodi works fine, Amazon Prime works fine, Youtube works fine. Only one app is broken is Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exist2Resist 2 Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 Cat got your tongue? You asked a question you got a reply. It seems that out of Kodi, Jellyfin, and other Video providers like Amazon, only Emby fails, crashes and burns consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's very odd. Can you please install this version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u1obwrckg4lkjc8/emby-android-google-armeabi-v7a-release.apk?dl=0 And then provide a log from the android app: Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
