ebr 14930 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I notice that dpad left and right now skips back and forward when video is playing. ..what about using up and down for larger jumps And how would you produce the OSD...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-C-H-A-T-T-E-N 0 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hey, Are there any plans to add background playing like YouTube do if you press the home (circle) button? And secondly is there maybe also a plan to add emby content to the global search results on Android TV Homescreen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidman 589 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Hard to tell much with the compression artifacts on the second image (the forum compresses really large images and causes this) but it looks to me like the contrast is pumped up in the MX Player one.Well it's pretty obvious to me when watching that the emby for android TV app is too bright on this device and I figured it would be nice to have the option to adjust it since it is available in the mobile app which uses the same player does it not?.... But oh well nm I'll deal with it until someone else notices and can convince the devs Edited October 19, 2015 by Vidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14930 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Enter/OK button Sorry, but that is just too many hidden behaviors. Honestly, I don't even like the left/right skipping functionality because you have to discover it accidentally but I did it because that is the way the other players on the device skip.

raven-au 17 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Yea maybe... But I was only using kodi as an example this app is noticeably brighter than other video apps and kodi was the easiest to compare the same file Perhaps a feature request to add the adjustment to the osd setting with audio delay? I've noticed this too, since the NP v6 update mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmb 5 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Is there any chance for dts output in this app? I really love Emby on my Sony Android TV, but without dts-sound its unfortunately useless for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love Emby on my Sony Android TV, but without dts-sound its unfortunately useless for me. DTS is decoded by the player and output as the raw PCM streams. IOW - it works. At least it does on the Nexus Player and Fire TV. I don't have one of the TVs to test with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmb 5 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Okay, sounds good. I will test it this evening and let you, if it works. That would be really great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmb 5 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) I've tried every possibility to get 5.1 with dts, but its not working. I don't know why, but dolby digital 5.1 is also not working any longer (direct stream is turned on). Plex plays dd in 5.1 and the inbuild Sony Player works fine with dd and dts. Any suggestions?

What app is the inbuilt player? Last I remember was that Play Movies & TV passed DD but output Stereo for DTS. The Plex app hangs if I enable pass-thru and my receiver isn't turned on, not really a problem since the layout of the app is so poor I don't really want to use it. I detailed my experience here, http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/25743-does-anyone-here-use-emby-on-an-smarttv-running-android/ which aren't quite the same as what you see so that's a puzzle. There has been a further v5.1.1 update since so I probably should check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmb 5 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The inbuilt player app just called "Video", there you can choose a DLNA server or Files on USB. It would be great, if Emby can use this player to play Videofiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidman 589 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) The android mobile app has external player support... You could try that to see if it works OK... But you may have issues controlling it as the mobile app is not remote control friendly Edited October 21, 2015 by Vidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmb 5 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Hey ebr, Emby App is v. 1.1.14g, should be beta, right? Android TV is v. 5.1.1. Maybe i will try the mobile app (only to see if it works). The TV has also an inbuilt Chromecast-Receiver, but its the same there: no 5.1, only stereo. @ebr: do you plan external player support for the Android TV app in future releases? Edited October 21, 2015 by mmb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14930 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Well, there appears to be a problem with DD on Android 5.1 and these devices so the last beta release is only allowing DD to pass-thru on the NP (which now has 6.0). 5.1.1 isn't an official Android API level so I'll have to see if I can determine that version. If so, I can try and allow the pass-thru and you can see if it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, sounds like a bug in VLC but can you tell me the time that this happened and the name of the Emby user? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmb 5 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 That happends every time, i try to change the audiotrack. Last time was today. My Name of the Enby user is MEDIACENTER, but i don't use Emby Connect (if its important for that). My TV will probably become Android TV v.6 soon in November or December, will this maybe help at the sound problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found your error report and it is VLC crashing when you try to switch streams. Sorry I don't have more information than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
