mikeraburn 60 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Am I missing something or is there not a separate thread for the beat preview? I added the beta and goofed in it. I tried a few sampling of videos and all seemed to play just fine. I feel so dirty, it's like cheating on speechles! But I do love the design and layout so far. It's almost too "flashy" and "fancy" for me, I like the simplicity of Blue Neon. Old dog new tricks syndrome, I'll try to break it later this weekend and report back.

lorac 100 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I tried it and couldn't even get it to load. It launches for a second or so and then kicks me back to the home screen. Regular and BN work fine. This is with a Premiere +. Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14904 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 There is no separate thread. Please just create topics in this forum as you encounter issues. Thanks.

Happy2Play 8250 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Had the same issue on my Ultra. @@ebr Since I had the app on my Roku 3 all the installed apps carried over to my Ultra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8250 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 And what version of firmware did it have on it? The Ultra had 7.2 and got the same results as lorac. But after the firmware 7.5 update Preview loaded properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Okay, thanks. That seems like an interesting loophole in Roku's app installation logic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorac 100 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I think it's because I added it from the Web so it just auto pushes it to each roku. I'll try with the new firmware update. Thanks for the tip. Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeraburn 60 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 That auto push from web is a good point. TapTalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeraburn 60 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 ebr, I tossed a sampling of my video files at the beta and none gave me any issues. I don't use Emby Roku for audio / music. My endorsement of the suggested notification of transcoding during playback has been rethought. Unless the release candidate of this version is going to be designed with options to allow the user to adjust settings, like Blue Neon, then that info is moot. I would think that with all of the knowledge you EMBY guys have gained and the new Roku device updates, the need for transcoding is going to be very rare, soon. There may be the very few exceptions though. I have found no playback issues yet, like I said before I wandered off in this post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorac 100 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Older non HD shows are still transcoding in the beta whereas they can direct stream in BN. Sent from my STV100-3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
