bowe 1 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 About to replace my nvidia shield with a apple tv. This question is to apple tv emby users. Which client do you use? Official, MrMC or Infuse? - Is one better than the other, if so why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdatanet 1549 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) If you want the best experience using Emby, use both devices, Nvidia Shield for Emby and Apple TV for the rest. In some rooms I have both devices, and in the ones I don't, I use Infuse to play media that Emby doesn't support.

Grumpy1 44 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 in my bedroom setup i too use both the shield and apple TV. I would love to use only the apple tv due to how easy and good it works with airpods (for when the wife is sleeping ) but for this i need to use infuse for anything 4k. hopefully the emby client gets to be usable at some point.

bowe 1 Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hmm, wasn't planning of keeping the shield at all. Will checkout infuse further, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddyMerkxs 17 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 The MrMC project is dead last i heard? Infuse is the only still supported option I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuonghv 0 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Infuse is the best. It supports ISO and M2TS file and direct play. Emby for Apple TV (official) not ISO. Nvdia Shield must convert M2TS to other container and not support ISO file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple tv for streaming due to its frame rate handling, shield for all things emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccastilla 3 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Only speaking from the Emby perspective and nothing else, the Shield (Android TV official app) is MUCH better today than the Apple TV App. This can change at any time, specially if they change the video player. Features in the Android TV app not on the Apple TV: Long press for additional menus - Allows to add to playlist, etc Chapters - Both outside and inside videos (I love this for concert videos, skipping to the song I want to hear) Stat for nerds Zoom Forwarding/Skipping in a video - You can only speed the video, but not skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
