djMesias 1 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Hi @swenth, my TV has always had quickstart+ disabled, and the new update doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 893 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I can reproduce this issue - not everytime, and I know the issue - it is a bit of an obscure one. Try this when it's stuck: Press Home to display the app ribbon Navigate up to the 'Emby' app title on the top left Hand side Select the 'x' close button that appears - this will close the app. Relaunch the app 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you restart the tv (either by remote or loss of power) you are back to the hanging logo screen on startup. (good to know that you can actually close the app this way, didn't know this) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I believe this is the only way to actually terminate an app (particularly on older models) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward_p 3 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Can confirm that Holding the Home button, then closing the emby app + opening it again works on my LG WEBOS 6 - standard/ non root. Previously I have tried holding the back button and closing the app from the ribbon. It did not work. however this method does not work all the time. I mean, I close it and when I launch it a second time, it will still freeze. A third time it worked. Of course, after powering off/on, it will still freeze. At least it's better than not using the app at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Berzerk 4 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I'm having the same issue since the update LG app update, I'm running Emby Server Version 4.8.1.0. My LG tv is NOT rooted. Tried deleting the app. Sometimes it works though. 1 in 25 chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Berzerk 4 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I followed the close the app and reopen method, and that gets me in, but like others said, I have to do this every time I turn the tv off then on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav1nth0mas 1 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I've been following this topic on Reddit as well and someone suggested resetting the device profile for the tv (emby/devices), i deleted the profile and then logged on again and the issue seems to be resolved as i have tried a few times since and emby has loaded every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an intermittent issue, so it doesn't always occur, but removing the profile doesn't address the cause. I'm 100% certain that this won't have fixed the issue - you will see it again. There will be an update soon that will resolve this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne1801 0 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Why is it you think you are doing the right thing by updating your apps and all is ends up doing is causing problems, specially when you are unable to return to a previous version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slopelitter 3 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Ill keep checking back for the update although strange that it worked for a few days for me after the update then last night it stuck on the emby startup screen.

Yes, it in my testing, it is quite random. This is a relatively quick way to recover if it doesn't start. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/126147-new-lg-1041-stuck-on-loading-screen/&do=findComment&comment=1328610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very important step is closing the app using the ‘x’ Press Home to display the app ribbon Navigate up to the 'Emby' app title on the top left Hand side Select the 'x' close button that appears - this will close the app. Relaunch the app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iselehome 0 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 For me with a B9 (2019) Series LG OLED the "Close Emby App" is not possible with mentioned Workaround, because this "X" would not show up. So either uninstall + reinstall after every start, or starting via app store directly after start of TV neccessary. This could be handled by me, but not my daughter or my wife... Behaviour was like: Directly after the update connection to emby server had to be manually choosen for 1-2 days, after that it directly fell into that "doing nothing Screen" with every single restart of TV.

For the B9 (and possibly later models) what happens if you hold down the home button? Do you get an option to close the app? Then try and launch it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the new dashboard doesn't give the close but falls back to last input. Then holding Home works for closing, but still have to go the "start from appstore" route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassete 9 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Muito obrigado Luke... Irei verificar a atualização. Pois muitos usuários estavam com problemas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsterUK 22 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 This same issue has just happened to me. I updated the app about a week ago and we've used the app everyday since the update without issue. Attempted to open it this evening and get the splash screen and nothing else. Will try removing and re-installing. Glad to hear a new version has been submitted for review. I hope LG turn this around as quickly as the Emby Devs have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 893 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Remove and reinstall won’t fix this. It’s not an installation issue, it’s a launch issue when the internal LG api services don’t start up quick enough. That is why it is so random. Terminating and reloading the app is the best approach as the services generally load quicker the second time and this problem is avoided. For older models, the app can be terminated like this Press Home to display the app ribbon Navigate up to the 'Emby' app title on the top left Hand side Select the 'x' close button that appears - this will close the app. Relaunch the app For newer models, there are other methods to terminate the app. I don’t know all of them. Some require holding down the Home key on the remote, some need holding down the back/return key. Google your model and find out how to terminate an app if these methods don’t work. The important part is terminating, not just closing the app to the background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
