Back from before Emby was rebrand from MB3. I've seen his work on this updated versions of his old WMC theme, but it's been 7 years.......All the other old theme creators , soaltaker, thogsoft(sp), ect are not around much anymore, if at all. I can only hope that with this new release of a new theater app that someone out there takes up the challenge and puts together a few good skins. Development stopped because Emby stopped allowing use of skins. Probably because of potential problems and not having enough time to answer any issues that the skins had.

They have always told me that they want all their apps to appear the same. A "cohesive experience" across all platforms.

Chillout 85 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Is there any information as to what improvements are being made? ie. fixing things that are broken, new features, etc? Recently I've noticed some minor changes: fonts and icons looking different that has brought me back to the forums to find out what's up..

It's going to look the same but will be wrapped in a new windows app that will allow us to finally merge the store and downloaded versions into one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahinepua 13 Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 BTW Luke, bought a cheap 55" Panasonic Google TV that has Dolby Vision and Atmos, the Emby Android TV app works fantastic, runs super fast and direct plays everything. Almost considering trying out a Nvidia Shield to see how the pic compares to the HTPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillout 85 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Is this a new version of ET or completely new app? I'm wondering if I need to be on the lookout for new software or if it will be an automatic update. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahinepua 13 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 I believe it will look the same and I’m guessing will have a newer version of mpv with more offline flexibility for premium key checking and not reliant on electron. Hope there’s not too many changes the current app looks great in horizontal mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope there’s not too many changes the current app looks great in horizontal mode. The UI won't change. The foundation will change. The software used for the UI will be different. The primary player will be a custom built Microsoft player, but mpv will still be available. The app, in general, should function much better.

Chillout 85 Posted Tuesday at 04:55 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:55 PM Hopefully the ET player has video upscaling or takes advantage of RTX Video super resolution to make older videos looks better. Today I have to watch those using the Webapp and VSR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahinepua 13 Posted Tuesday at 05:01 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:01 PM Yes that would be nice, it’s getting a bit left behind by other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
