poanda 0 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Hello guys! I experienced an issue. I can't use external player anymore, it only comes some popup that reloads the activity after clicking on it (screenshot). I have downloaded 2.8.40 and I got the same issue. After that I have installed an older version: 2.8.39 -> now it works again. I am using a Galaxy S7 edge and the server runs on Windows 10. Greetings, Jan
Luke 38560 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Hi, thanks for the report. We'll take a look. 1
theAkran 1 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Having this same issue. MilkVRLauncher isn't even showing in the list of external players anymore.

Nebular Nerd 2 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Hi same issue as the OP, I get the VLC window appear which just give a handler error as I don't use VLC on my tablet. I'm guessing it's meant to present a list of choices to allow folk to pick the player of choice.
Luke 38560 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 It is being looked into, thanks for the report.
RanmaCanada 413 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I'll chime in and let you know I have the same problem Thanks for looking into it Luke.
Luke 38560 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I'm going to be putting up a build on the open beta shortly that will have the fix: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/24350-android-open-beta-testing/ Just be aware that playback is being overhauled. The "Play in External Player" button will now be gone and it will just integrate with the regular play button. So this will save you a click when starting video playback. 2
Nebular Nerd 2 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Just tested with the Beta (2.8.41) and external player seems to be working once more with MXPlayer Pro (and with Direct Play since I finally fixed that), very much liking the new one click play button approach. Happy Days

Easttxtech 0 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 On user profile, settings, playback there is a button to enable external players. This used to pop up the option to open an episode or movie with VLC whwn I clicked play. Now it just wants me to buy the app or play 1 minute. I've quit using Emby Mobile.
Luke 38560 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Ah yes that's because it's running through the same mechanism now as regular playback.
Kael944 0 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Ah yes that's because it's running through the same mechanism now as regular playback. Hi Luke, That does not really explain (for me at least who is not too tech savvy) how to make it work again. Access to database works fine, but cannot play any files except the pay to unlock option or 1 minute as previously mentioned.
LeeMush 0 Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Ah yes that's because it's running through the same mechanism now as regular playbacK No idea what that means. I have external players enabled on Emby Android, but no longer get popup asking which player to use, just points me towards unlock feature, which there is no way I'm going to do until I know I can continue to use external player. Do you have a definitive method for fixing this/enabling external player? I have signed up for the beta testing, but this has made no difference, running 2.8.85
