Playback issue when shuffling on Google TV Chromecast

[francoisp 8]

Recently on my Google TV Chromecast, when I select a "genre" and do a "shuffle all", I'm finding that the resulting shuffled playlist includes "bad" entries that are not songs. I'm not sure what they are. These entries cause the playback to stop. I am able to skip to the next entry in the playlist and playback will resume until it encounters another of these bad entries. I do not experience this behavior when playing songs on my desktop or Android phone, i.e. I do not see "bad" entries in the shuffle playlists. I'm running server version 4.9.0.30 beta and Google TV version 2.1.14g.

Note: I just tested the "play all" function and nothing plays.

The "bad" entries could be images. I have attached a picture I took from the playlist on my television. The third image "arranged by Brian Wilson" causes the issue.

Hi.  Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares?

Thanks.

lol, looks that a new app has replaced the one I have. I removed it and downloaded the new one and the issue is gone.

Question: I'm having an issue find the "playing now" shortcut to show the current song. I know it shows up up top the screen but once it's gone for whatever reason, how do I get back to it?

Hi, what do you mean by "once it's gone"? As long as you're playing it should be there. But it's only on the home screen of the app.

I did something and somehow the music player wouldn't show up and I couldn't find a "now playing" shortcut to bring it up. I have tried to replicate the issue to give you more useful information but I have not been able to. If It happens again, I'll open a new case with the details. Thank you.
