CarlosLima 148 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hello everyone I'm doing tests on Chromecast 2 and with the Emby app for Chromecast and I have some questions. The devices I'm using are: - Motorola Moto G1 smartphone with Android 5.1 - Lenovo Moto G5 smartphone with Android 7.0 - iPad Mini with iOS 10.3.1 In all of Emby's app works fine but only on the iPad I do not see the Screen Mirroring option. Is this something available only for Android? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosLima 148 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hi, about Emby for Chromecast, does the customer need to buy the Premiere license to have the right to use the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosLima 148 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I have one more question, regarding Emby Chromecast. If the web client has a modern smart tv, the latest models and if this TV has web browsing, what better performance will it have to access the Emby Server if it also has Chromecast 2? 1. better use the smart tv browser to access the Emby Server 2. Better to use the Emby Chromecast application to access the Emby Server Edited April 26, 2017 by CarlosLima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzagtshirt 55 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hi, about Emby for Chromecast, does the customer need to buy the Premiere license to have the right to use the app? Either purchase Premiere license, or you can purchase the app from the App store on Apple Store or Google Play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to use the Emby Chromecast application to access the Emby Server In my experience, Smart TV app is always better than chromecast as it is compatible with more formats.

Do you mean the Emby application for smart tv? I did not mention in the post, but I live in Brazil and as I understand it, the application for smart tv does not support all the models, at least here in the region where I live. Another detail, I was referring to the native browser of the TV, which I consider all bad, because they can barely open the native applications and browsing the browser is very bad.

CarlosLima 148 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Either purchase Premiere license, or you can purchase the app from the App store on Apple Store or Google Play. Yes, I am a Premiere user, but I have referred to clients who access my Emby Server and are not Premiere users. In case, if I understood correctly, should they become Premiere or pay for the app in stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosLima 148 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I still find confusion confusing. In the Google store, there are only the Emby apps for Android and Emby for Android Tv. To use Emby for Chromecast, should not it have an app in the store? On the Emby site there is no way to download Emby to Chromecast. Can anyone clarify these details?

If you have a Premiere license on your server, then users do not need to pay for the Emby app in the app stores. Also, they do not need to be premiere users either.

I am referring to the Emby Application for the smart tvs; not the web browsers on the tv. If you cannot install the Emby application, then chromecast is the better option since the web browsers on tvs are bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to download "Emby for Android". The chromecast feature is available within the app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14897 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Chromecast doesn't require an app at all. You can also cast to it from the web interface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Chromecast for iOS does require the iOS app. It will not work with the browser. On Android you can use the chrome browser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
