ebr 14853 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yeah, I meant the night city scape. Previously, I just had a "Roku" logo bouncing around the screen (a la 1995). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chizz44 6 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Any tips for getting a smoother stream - my TV is one flight up from my wifi router and I get an intermittent drop from TV and "loading" then back to TV. I have a strong WiFi signal there and I've tried 2.4 and 5GHZ. I just upgraded my HTPC where the Emby server is running to 16GB RAM but it didn't seem to make a difference. Are there some settings in Emby server I can adjust, perhaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitale4 15 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Assuming you are using ROKU, have you tried limiting the bandwidth via the EMBY Streaming Channel under preferences? On some devices, I have set the streaming down to 1.5 MB from the default of 3.+. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farside847 39 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) The roku update fixed it, I am still on 2.24 of the app and live TV now works But, the quality is bad at times. Is there a way to increase? I have the app set to 30mbit and using ethernet. The thanksgiving parade is kinda painful to watch with bad pixelation. Commercials look great.

On some devices, I have set the streaming down to 1.5 MB from the default of 3.+. Just a thought. It took me awhile to figure this out, but I'll put this here in case some one else could use this info - On your Roku device (I have a TCL Roku TV), open the Emby app - Scroll down until you see Options, then select Preferences - Choose Video Quality and select a lower setting (mine defaulted to 3.5MB) and test until you find a suitable balance between picture quality and performance. Using this method, I have solved my problem. I have Emby and Kodi running on the same machine (Emby for serving TV to my Roku TV upstairs, connected via 5g) and dialing down to 2MB seems to be my sweet spot, Both my downstairs TV (Kodi) and upstairs TV (Emby) play Live TV at the same time with no stuttering or drops. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how Ive handled it and its already in the app ready to go in next update. I have one more feature to add (sign out remembers server) and will push the update to roku and update the sideloadable zips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalredneck 11 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Ignore this post! I'm an idiot, for some reason my Live TV is working on both, ugh! I have two Roku's, one that is an older Roku 2 XD which is on version 7.5.0 - build 4099-02. The other is a Roku 2 (4210), which is on version 7.5.0 - build 4099-04. The older XD still does not play Live TV, but the newer 4210 plays Live TV. Is it a firmware build difference issue or is an older XD issue??? If it's a firmware build issue, how can I force an update, other than the normal Roku update? I've never done the side loading that I read in this thread.

AmericanMike 3 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm watching live tv right now on my roku v7.7.0 with no issues. One thing I will add to this is that one of my Roku's use an Ethernet cable to connect. Each time I use the Roku after an extended rest there is an error when choosing an application. It says there is no network connection but if I choose "Continue Anyway" all is fine. I tested this with multiple apps and found this error is for hardwired boxes only and is a Roku firmware issue.

That's what I thought, but someone on the Roku forum said they were getting the same errors using wi-fi. This last round of updates seems to have fixed the "network connection" problem. . . at least, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
