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.

Getting the on screen display back sometime would be super cool! 🙏🤞

Howdy, just hoping the update was still on the way.  My ET has been without an OSD while playing video for over a year. Believe it had to do having to use the Nvidea decoding setting. Would be cool to have that again. Cheers

That sounds very strange. 

Can you screenshot a copy of your video settings?

There are no issues with Theater that would prevent OSD from working.

Hello. Appreciate your offer to help! Indeed there are known issues - Luke helped track down the culprit many moons ago. It was due to using the gpu output setting. Luke's reply from May '22:

"Hi, this is rare but does happen to a few people and right now there's no solution for it other than waiting for our new windows app, which is coming soon."

Cheers

It's been 3 months without any word from @Luke. Seems we need to give up hope. 😔

It's been coming soon for awhile now. Wish we could get a realistic ETA.

We are working on this and the hope is that a beta is out very soon. I will let you all know as soon as I have an update for you.

Is very soon, Luke's very soon, because he said the same thing almost a year ago? What actual duration do you put on very soon?

Yeah, the word "soon" really needs to stop being used. It has no meaning after nearly a year.

I have been hearing soon on the watch together feature being added for about 5 years. The funny thing is I see nothing in the betas mentioning it.

The beta and then the subsequent app will be out once the team has decided it's ready for testing and then public use. While I appreciate the fact that everyone wants things done as quickly as possible, it will be released when it's ready. It is something that is actively being worked on so stay tuned.

We just want a reasonable answer when we ask WHEN it will be ready. You just repeated the same thing we've heard for years. Sorry, but that doesn't help.

With all due respect, the Dev team/forum need to stop saying "soon" on any developments on Emby going forward. Just say we don't have a time table on that yet or we haven't decided on release date. "Soon" means nothing for emby. That could be a year or 5 from now. Means nothing anymore.

Last year it was said it will be out by Christmas. Well next Christmas is not that far away.

I understand that the new Emby Theater takes time and I also understand that it's a lot of work. 

What I can't understand is that meanwhile seemingly all support for the old Theater has been dropped. It doesn't look good if we hear only "soon" while and the last old Theater release was 15 months ago.

In the interim while we are all waiting patiently:)  you can always use an external player including the latest MPV, you just wont get continue watching support.

The thing to remember is that PC app(s) are a low priority. They've deemed that the Android and mobile apps have a higher priority. So they get all of the love. Luke has actually stated that it's difficult to allocate developer time to the Windows app. That was a few years ago. You're not going to get what you want. If the 'new' app is ever released, it won't be on our timeliness. And the initial release won't operate in the way that we will like.

I'm more that happy to move to Android with something like the Zidoo Z2600 but would need two units as the pc is hooked up to both a projector and tv with separate amps. 

A HTPC is much cheaper.

It's better to simply replace the build in Theater with the latest mpv build. Just download libmpv from here
