I have the same problem. I use emby-theater_3.0.12_amd64.deb on multiple pc's running Linux Mint 19 & 20. Recently they all stopped working, playback doesn't start for music and video's. There is no error, it starts playback but it doesn't progress past 0:00 and the screen remains blank. I believe it happened after upgrading my Emby server to the latest version, but I'm not sure.

Optionally you can also install an Emby player app such as Emby Theater. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From many tries, it seems emby doesn't detect the GPU at all, the configuration menu inside emby that can force emby using 'gpu' output, in the end it will fallback again to libmpv output that using software decode. That is my conclusion within my knowledge. cmiiw, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredflix 23 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) If you're on any kind of Arch distro (I'm on Manjaro), a guy ported ET to AUR:https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/emby-theater-bin/ Once installed, after logging in, the main page didn't want to show. Only the top bar would show. Probably because my server settings were already saved somewhere as I didn't have to enter any server info. But after re-starting the app, it logs me in automatically and everything works fine. Definitely a slight hick up I can live with Edited August 22, 2020 by fredflix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to work on any keyboard I can find but the defaults media p,Ayer and VLC semester to support them so it must be possible ....

fogpuppy 1 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Thanks. It’s the main thing that makes air-mouse remote controls tough to use because they have a limited number of keys so not having play/pause work is especially annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
