nodiaque 31 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hello, Sine the w10 creator updater, emby theater always start on a black screen. The UI does work (if I move with arrow and press enter it does browser and start a video with external player). To fix the issue, I ust double click on title bar to resize from maxiize to normal or opposite. I also have the problem when returning fro external player. I can fix doing the samething. I tried uninstalling everything from emby, clearing cache and install again, not working. I'm on a i3 core 1st gen using internal IG. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 With the next update to the app i don't think this will happen anymore. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttgapers 94 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Phew, Thought this was only affecting me. Looking forward to the update, both of this, and ability to force the Windows Store app to fullscreen. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttgapers 94 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 No worries at all Luke. Any ETA in general for the next update for ET to address these issues? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It will be a little longer still because a whole new video player is being integrated: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/46763-theater-mpv-test/ Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscoys 143 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) I don't know if it helps or not but when i use MPC-HC as an external player 1 time on 2, when I close MPC-HC (because the movie is finished), I have a black screen. The only way to get it back is to toggle Emby with alt-tab twice and it reappears! @@Luke : we're dealing with the UI there, change of internal player, in my opinion, won't resolve this issue, but I could be wrong.

ttgapers 94 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm using Emby on my Fire Stick TV until ET is fixed up for this. I tested with the MPV demo above and same behaviour. Black screen unless i double-click to either maximize/minimize, then all is fine. Seems like something in the Creators update broke something in ET, as it appears we have been on version 40 for some time now. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasstendahl 2 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I am also having this problem. Just to point out that the blank screen affects the whole GUI, not just media playback. I have rolled back to 1607 version until new ET version is released. Thanks for the continued good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8250 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I just launched version 1.1.106.0 and initially got black screen that basically timed out after awhile then relaunched the app without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The first time you run the app it is downloading resources so you may see a black screen for a few seconds, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The desktop version seem to be okay but the Windows 10 version timed out with a black screen for about 2-3 minutes (app closed on its own) and worked after re-launch. App store shows updated yesterday. Edited April 26, 2017 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodiaque 31 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Depend, for me the desktop version does the black screen, not using the app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denz 426 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I get a blank screen as well double clicking to full screen makes it work and then you can window it and see the contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordy 284 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Running Creators update and black screen on startup for me too. Strangely though it's only on one laptop. My surface pro 3 works flawlessly every time, both ET desktop and the new MPV version. On the Laptop both ET desktop and MPV version start with black screen and I have to double click title bar (or where it would be if I could see it) and then its all good until the next time I start the program/app. Also, whilst the screen is black, I can see the taskbar on both versions. Other than this MPV is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttgapers 94 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Latest ET on MPV is working for the most part OK. No more black screen, and at least usable now. Just to update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodiaque 31 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 I still have the blackscreen issue on startup or when getting back from external player, requiring to resize the app (maximize/restore) to see what's going on. I've found out though that the app isn't bugged, if I moved the mouse cursor or press arrow, I hear the sound of selection and I can start something, although I don't see what I'm doing. Emby Theater on W10 Creator Update, desktop (native), not Windows Store app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denz 426 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Me too on 32bit doesnt work at all on 64bit i have to maximise to get the display. Unfortunately my 32bit there isnt a new video driver to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denz 426 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I downloaded the new driver for my amd radeon video adapter and it is still the same blank screen on my work pc which is w10 x64 pc. The other mpv version works no blank screen. So something is wrong with the current version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredd1963 14 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Any new on the black screen issue yet? I updated from the website yesterday and the issue is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 If you double click to maximize that shows the window contents, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damob9k 2 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Not sure if it helps, but I had the exact same issue ... The fix for me was changing the Display Settings\Display Mode from TV to Auto Black screen gone ! HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
