JeremyG 20 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 So I have a Samsung J5200 which runs Tizen. I cannot get the Emby App to show up. Search gives nothing, and I scrolled through the whole list of "Videos" app category 3 times and I don't see it. Is there something else I have to do?

Luke 37067 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Entry level sets and Tizen bluray players are currently excluded, in case that's what it is. We have to request separate testing for those, and we will, but since the developer portal only lets us do one thing at a time, it has to wait it's turn in line.

FrostByte 5049 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Of course Samsung has no BD players running Tizen yet (see chart from Samsung D's page) I believe SamES just bought their newest top of the line BD player the K8500 and said he loaded the old Orsay app on it. Unless they have something new not on their site yet or some firmware update changed all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyG 20 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Ok that sucks I guess. I was searching last night and and found several references to my model running Tizen. But that chart from Samsung doesn't list the J5200 at all. This is one of the sites I saw that seems to imply it does run Tizen: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/smart Luke, if indeed it's a matter of being "entry level" and you eventually get it tested, that would be awesome! (I could finally remove my Emby server from my bedroom!) Edited October 6, 2016 by JeremyG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Ya, you could be right. I found some non-Samsung websites that say it does and others that say it doesn't. I'll see if I can find an updated official chart. Do you know how to go into developer mode on your TV? Mine tells me which OS I'm running there. Hopefully, it will work though when Samsung approves the app for the entry level Tizen TVs https://www.samsungdforum.com/SamsungDForum/ForumView/3ad8bd6023af18a7?forumID=f4044444efbb98e7 Edited October 6, 2016 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they have something new not on their site yet or some firmware update changed all that Yes, K8500 is still Orsay and runs the standard SmartTV Version of the app. There are some minor cosmetic issues such as small fonts and semi-transparent fonts in some of the item details/synopsis (but not all which is a bit weird). There aren't any navigation issues and playback works fine. Installing and syncing/updating has not been a problem. Just be aware that this player only works on a 4K TV.

Della Dog 19 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Still nothing but a black screen when trying to play any video. Server works fine, but not able to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 As soon as the worldwide release is out we have an update ready to go that will direct play just about everything you can throw at it. Unfortunately we can only do one thing at a time in the developer portal so we have to wait for the current requested to complete before we can submit the new version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drschlaumeier 1 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Samsung is really slow in releasing SW to the smarthub :-( You will still have separate releases for US & WW ? ... I mean will the new version you mentioned above will be WW already ? BTW: I tried to change my country to US and download Emby. Interestingly, I see emby in smarthub but no success to download... so I need to wait ... Edited October 16, 2016 by drschlaumeier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37067 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Just for an update, we have run into some additional things we have to resolve before we can release worldwide. However, the really nice update I've been mentioning is now rolling out in the US for 2016 models. If you're in that bucket, keep an eye out for version 1.0.14+. It will now direct play pretty much anything you throw at it so I think you're going to really like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xyph 1 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Fully agree drschlaumeier... I'm an emby lifetime supporter and have received no support to my requests - found emby products on tizen, asustor and android to be buggy at best and completely unusable most of the time... and, frankly, wich I could get my support money back given the poor show the Emby team have been capable of lately. I will note that for several official replies to this thread the fault of the delayed releases (US and WorldWide) was claimed to be with Samsung's terrible platform and bureaucracy... now - it is emby 'running into additional things'. I must say I trust Samsung far more at this point and have lost ALL confidence in emby! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBers 6771 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 The new release Luke was talking about with better playback for US 2016 models has been published by the store this morning. What are these "additional things" that is the reason it's not available Worldwide yet please ?? Will older, non-US models (J series) get an update once these "additional things" are sorted out ?? Just asking for clarification. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37067 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I have a 2015 model "J" Series Samsung TV (I'm in the US) and I still haven't seen the update published to the store. Any idea on why the delay is so long? Samsung found one issue with 2015 models so that's why you don't have it. We will be resubmitting any day now.

Luke 37067 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 We've submitted the update. Hopefully it will get through quickly. It actually improves direct play even more by moving more of the audio and subtitle switching from the server to directly in the app, so it's a very nice update. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowlett 9 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 nice - does this mean worldwide has been released now as said the update was going to be after worldwide release? it's just i can't see it in the store.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
