[Kmark40 3]

another +1 to test the beta please

I would happily pay for this as well once they fix the playback stutter and choppy issue using internal player.

[billy_ray 19]

There's heavy active development. Hopefully we'll have some kind of beta by the end of the month.

I hope we see an announcement by the end of the day (AUG 31) for a new beta!

I'm sorry not believing this statement. I've seen this with the iOS app. Theater and iOS app, is the only way for me to enjoy my movies ... And it has been an long walk.

Yes ... make my statement shameless.

Are we there yet?

[AdrianW 1054]

There's been no movement for quite a few days - I think Luke has been concentrating on getting the iOS app through approval.

[pclausen 42]

Teaser screenshots, we want.

the only reason i didn't start to colaborate ($$$) or use emby 100% is the clients

 

the emby theater need's a lot of improvements, no iOS app, and the samsung tv need improvements too, roku also :/

I know, have the xbmc, but I really don't like the XBMC interface.

 

But probably when they release better clients I will move 100% from plex to emby and start to help monthly.

You need to expand those comments and create separate posts in the relevant forums.

 

OT: What's wrong with the Samsung TV app ?? It works.

I switched over to theater due to upgrading to windows 10 and I dont find it all that bad, it does have a few problems from time to time but due to a newer release coming out  I thought I would wait. The only thing is I would have liked more control over the layout and themes but believe that will be coming in the newer version so really looking forward to its release.

Windows 10, seems not to list the “Collections” it’s just blank? Can anyone help?

I have the plugin installed, collections is listed on the home page, but no content.

I had the same problem, but uninstalling (and removing all traces) and then reinstalling fixed it for me.

[edwin777 0]

Thanks, how do I remove all trace of it other than uninstall?

[edwin777 0]

Clean installed windows 10, then install theatre same problem blank collections

[pclausen 42]

I have the same issue.  Windows 10 clean install.  Collections work fine from the web interface.

 

So Luke, how's the preview coming along?  Will we see something this month?

 

Things have been pretty quiet lately.

[edwin777 0]

Gone back to Windows 8.1 and classic all working well now. I'll wait until it's all fixed I think,

[MikeMcEwan 11]

I can't wait for this. I've been checking back daily for any updates.

Can we count on an update this month, or is it just postponed with, we are working hard on an update? Yes, I know all work "for free". PayPal or not. The iOS app has had the "coming soon" status, I do not know how long. And ET has been underway for well over a year, when the first screenshots were shown. Perhaps Emby should change your business strategy, and stick to something realistic. Were other serious companies got away with this? Have you thought about such statements, get users to find other pastures? And yes, I paid several times for MB2, about $ 80 while you decided to give up MB2. I also paid for the old iOS app that is useless today.

Those two situations are out of my control. I was not an MB2 developer, and in fact, the majority of us here were not. That was a different time with a different team, different softwarea. The iOS app you're referencing was built by a third party community member. We had no control over it, so the fact that the developer has disappeared is unfortunate, but again, out of my control. That is why we are releasing our own iOS app. We will also have a preview teaser of the new Emby Theater soon.

[MSL_DK 35]

I have become aware that it was not Emby team that developed the old ios app, but you linked to it, as if it were your own app, a bit misleading. I know it's not the same team, but then the team might have chosen a different name than MB3 and closed MB2 once and for all. That said, I am an avid emby use and appreciate your work and look forward to the next update, when it comes.

Well they have chosen a different name now and did offer some support to mb2 users initially

[Pirlo1966 22]

JLPFLD is right. Old time user and still waiting for a good and solid HTPC app to get the most out of Emby server. 

[MSL_DK 35]

now

Yes, recently. I do not mind paying the $ 80 I paid for MB2, it does not go far in relation to the time they spent on it. I think. But I'm tired of waiting for something useful, iOS - which I paid for. And Emby Theatre which is absolutely essential for me if Emby continue to be considered.

I'm waiting as well to test out this major release of ET. I'm hoping it develops into a realistic replacement for MBC, or WMC for that matter. If it has decent Live TV/Recording. The current situation with MS basically letting WMC die a slow death leaves an opportunity for Emby to come up with a replacement. Plenty of users out there looking for it.
