FrostByte 5052 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Tizen doesn't allow more than one test app to be installed at a time. So, you will need to delete the old Emby app before plugging in the usb (don't just delete the shortcut on the home as this doesn't delete the app itself). On the Tizen home screen menu click Apps and then scroll up and click the cog wheel in the top right. Delete the old version of Emby. Download the new version of Samsung app (you can't reuse the old one as it's expired) Copy new version to usb Plug usb into TV As long as you're using the test version you will need to repeat these steps every 30 days.

Removing from Home isn't the same. It usually does what you're describing when the app is still installed. Also, does your usb have the new version unzipped in the root?

yardieboy58@icloud.com 1 Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 As stated I’ve already deleted the app removing an app from home is not deleting the app yes the new version is unzipped in the usb root Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried power cycling the TV? Is it the same usb you used the first time, formatted the same? Sometimes it doesn't like certain usb drives. For whatever reason it's acting like it either doesn't like your usb or thinks there is already another usb app installed. 5 minutes ago, yardieboy58@icloud.com said: I’m surprised emby is not available on the new Samsung tv I’ll probably have to switch to plex it’s been a good 5 years with emby Luke just submitted an app update to Samsung which should include 2023s. Samsung would not accept any new versions while they worked on adding Emby to other countries which backed everything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yardieboy58@icloud.com 1 Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 I would rather use one that works well and straight forward it’s a hassle to be deleting and reinstalling every 30days and on top of that it’s the old version so in this cause I would rather use plex until emby is on the Samsung store at least update the version that we have to put on usb. I will go back to emby once’s it’s been sorted out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
