Emby Theatre on Steam Deck won't play any videos

I recently got myself a new Steam Deck OLED. I installed Emby Theatre and the navigation works fine. When I try to play something nothing happens. I just get a spinning ring no matter what I try.

Is there a fix for this as I've search everywhere and nothing seems to be reported. If someone could point me to the right place for the logs I'll see what I can do to post them.

I managed to get it working. I'm not sure why though.

  1. Switched to Desktop mode
  2. I uninstalled the version that I installed via Discover.
  3. Downloaded https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-electron/releases/download/3.0.19/emby-theater-flatpak_3.0.19_x86_64.flatpak via Chrome
  4. Started Konsole (terminal)
  5. cd Downloads
    flatpak install emby-theater-flatpak_3.0.19_x86_64.flatpak
  6. Started Emby and it worked fine. No idea why there would be a difference though.

I ran into the same problem on all my distros with the install from flathub after a somewhat recent update to something... Started up my wife's laptop that had not been updated for a while and it worked fine, ran updates and same problem as the rest. Doing the above solved it on all distros, you are currently considered a hero in my family DJAndieK 😂👌
