Android App cannot playback movies

[2hansen 0]

Whenever I try to playback movies with the Android App it doesn't work - the server (Mac OS X) throws the below errors and the app returns to the movie overview.

 

From the same device I can view the movies in the browser. Similarly the iOS app seems to work.

Please post the complete log and also the android log

Hi 

 

And thank you for prompt reply.

 

It seems like I had an older version of the Android App installed, which caused the error.

 

However, the new Emby Android App gives me similar problems. I can connect to the server, I can browse my library, but as soon I choose "play", nothing happens and the App becomes unresponsive.

 

I have included three log files:

 

One from the server, when I start it and plays back the movie in the local browser (which works fine)

One from the server, when I start it and (try to) play back the movie from the Emby Android App (which doesn't work)

The corresponding Android log 

 

Hope this makes sense - otherwise let me know how I can help you further...

 

Thanks...

I just realised that these problems might be the same as reported in http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/20019-new-emby-android-app-needs-fixing/ - so maybe this thread belongs there instead.

First thing to do is update to the latest version of the server. Then report back if you're still experiencing issues.

I would love to do that - and I already tried it.

 

However the latest OS X versions suffers from not being able to start - and has been rolled back.

Does this leaves OS X server based installations as not-working-with-Android-App until the server's been fixed?

Seems that the newest version of the server resolves this
