fonzie 21 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Would it be possible to create links to android apps so they can be opened from within the emby app. That way the Emby could be used as a launcher, so to speak. Example: being able to open youtube, netflix, pandora, etc from emby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniz98 63 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I would like to know this as well. This would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Wouldn't it be quicker to just press "Home" on the remote and select those apps from the device home screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otispresley 81 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I think it is more about a seamless experience than it is about ease of use. I do this very thing in Kodi, mark my favorite Android and Kodi apps as favorites so I never have to go to the home screen. The app gets launched from kodi and puts me back in Kodi after I close it. This is a nice feature to have when you want a media center experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an app for Android TV, the name escapes me atm, but it allows you to autorun a selected app upon bootup on your device. It'd be great for WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) if Emby could be THE app that starts, and what you return to if you run something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
