dcrdev 251 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 In the latest version of the app with iOS 9.3.2 you cannot listen to music on the go in any effective way. Once the screen goes off i.e. display timeout the current track will continue playing, but once the track you are listening to finishes playback stops entirely instead of moving to the next track. This makes it impossible to listen to music on the go without disabling the screen timeout feature which is not really an option as it it's a massive battery drain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cash84 4 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I have the same issue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fc7 123 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I was just able to confirm that the same problem can be reproduced just by sending Emby app to the background while you are using any other app. Repro steps: 1- open Emby app and start playing a song playlist or instant mix 2- while any song is playing switch to another app. Ie: Safari 3- keep using Safari while Emby app is in the background Expected behavior: Emby app keeps playing all the songs from the playlist while in the background. Actual behavior: Emby app will finish playing the current song but it will not continue playing the rest of the playlist. To continue playing the user needs to switch back to Emby app, wait for the next song to start playing and switch back to Safari to continue browsing the web. This makes the app almost useless for music playing. Device: iPhone 6 iOS version: 10.1.1 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisfmoreira 0 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Just bought the app in 2 itunes accounts to replace plex ... found this issue Is there a solution on the horizon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yes we have to rework the way the app manages it's now playing queue, apologies for this issue. It is on our radar to resolve in an upcoming update. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36991 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yes recent updates have paved the way for this, so this is next. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Agreed, this is not just another feature we all want - it's a fundamental bug that hasn't received any attention in months. Without this working as others have said the app is useless for music playback - I think at this stage you should be advertising that fact on the iOS app store. Please please stop concentrating on minor visual tweaks when the basics don't work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveo369 10 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yes recent updates have paved the way for this, so this is next. Thanks. The issue with continuous playing of background music has been an issue for a very long time. My primary use for emby is to stream music. This is great news that it's getting some attention soon, thanks Luke and the dev team! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandavidg 30 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Would really appreciate a fix to this. When I set up my music server I suggested to friends and family that they get this app, only to later realise it is currently useless for playing music as it shuts down after every song, which was both disappointing and a bit embarrassing. Currently in a holding pattern telling them "I'm sure it will be fixed soon", please, please make it a priority! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrdev 251 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) I honestly can't believe that you've let such a fundamental part of a product whose sole purpose is to stream media, go unfixed for coming up to 1 YEAR . The iOS app is quite frankly not even of alpha standards - I watch the beta thread frequently and all the testing seems to focus on UI issues; no focus whatsoever on anything else. You'd think with all that effort spent on the UI, that it would be a work of art; no that is not the case it's clunky as hell. Current Problems: Playback of the next track doesn't work when locked. Objects are misaligned. Seeking / scrolling are a chore because everything is so horribly misaligned. There's some kind of text object overlaying the video player, meaning if you even tap the screen slightly during playback you get a Copy/Paste dialogue pop up. The back button works 50% of the time. Any time you tap on anything the whole screen flashes. The server dashboard screen has a permanent dark overlay after using the sidebar. Video playback frequently freezes during the last 5% of playback. The remote control stays connected to external devices after pressing "disconnect". You can't view photos in full screen, or swipe to the left/right to navigate. So explain to me how in any shape or form the above ^ is an improvement on just using the web app? It's not the iOS app is a waste of money, scrap that it's a joke! I'd be all for supporting the developers in the form of a donation, or app purchase if it weren't for the fact that everyone get's treated like shit in return. The same wooden response to every question "it's being looked into". Major fundamental functionality bugs going unfixed for large periods of time. No communication from developers whatsoever. Focus entirely fixated on new features instead of fixing fundamental problems with existing features. You resort to intrusive nagging screens in Emby server to try and coax additional subscribers out, because you feel most people who are using Emby, are using it for free, I wonder bloody why ^ . I fully expect you won't respond to this - but it's here for everybody to see. Edited March 6, 2017 by dcrdev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
