A_Aron 1 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) So today we noticed that emby is disappearing from all of our Amazon devices, how do we get it back? * Yes, I'm aware the FireTV's are a different app. I'm more concerned with the Fire Tablets.

Luke 37049 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 What version of the FireOS do they run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Aron 1 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) We have 4 of the HD6's and 1 HDX. Fire HD6 (4th Gen) v5.3.3.0 Fire HDX 8.9 v5.3.1.1 It seems they disappeared after the last update on the 10th for Emby. Emby is also not in the store from the device, nor can I send it to devices from the Amazon store page on amazon.com.

Luke 37049 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Ok, we're trying to push an update out this week so let's see what happens after that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Aron 1 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 My kids are getting impatient waiting for this... I have them using VLC as a front end in the mean time, but it's not optimal for a 4 and 6 year old to watch their shows... When will this be fixed????

Luke 37049 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 We are looking into this, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 In the meantime if you're able to sideload, I've uploaded the apk for manual installation: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/raw/master/android/android-amazonarmv7-release.apk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Aron 1 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Sideload doesn't work in FreeTime, I have given up and gone back to Plex for my kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0del 0 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 In the meantime if you're able to sideload, I've uploaded the apk for manual installation: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/raw/master/android/android-amazonarmv7-release.apk As dadasaurus pointed out, sideloaded apps can't be whitelisted for child accounts on fire tablets, so this is no solution at all for children using emby on fire tablets. It's been a month - is there any chance of a fix coming out, or should I start looking into alternative media servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billneftleberg 3 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) try version 2.087 i just bought the new kindle 8 inch fire... its the newest model that kindle just released, imagine my surprise when emby didnt work. it installs but all you get is a black screen....... but fortunately I saved all the old emby apks and to my relief version 2.087 works just fine for me its the old interface but it does work on the new kindle version (All-New Fire HD 8 Tablet with Alexa) hope this helps some people I know you have an earlier model but maybe it will solve your issue i tried to upload that version with this post but it wont attatch, maybe luke or another member can do it if not send your email and ill be glad to email it to you Edited June 13, 2017 by billneftleberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xateesix 0 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I have also been experiencing the same problem. Side loading will restore the app for adult users but not for the kids and unfortunately they are not nearly so understanding about the situation. I feel for everyone experiencing this and I understand the frustration but I love Emby and have a too much invested into my setup to switch back to Plex. Nor am I interested in losing the everything everywhere on any device functionality I have come to enjoy. Thank you guys for your efforts in fixing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billneftleberg 3 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I finally got Emby Version Arm7 To Install On The New Fire 8 Inch But It Only Allows Playback For One Minute. Is This Issue Ever Going To Be Fixed people Seem To Be Getting Ignored.

billneftleberg 3 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Hi, glad you have it running. Please click "Already Paid?" and follow the instructions. thanks ! there are no instructions to follow (as you well know....) all that does is lead me to emby premiere i purchased emby well before it (emby premiere) came out i bought a new kindle and the update doesnt work i downloaded what you suggested in the thread and its locked you need to unlock it this is devoius attempt to force those of us who have already bought emby to buy premiere how would you like a class action suit? i dont want Premiere, i just want what i paid for already ive paid for emby, ive paid for emby from the windows store too this is just a blatant attempt to force older users to pay again Edited July 3, 2017 by billneftleberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Have you entered your Emby Premiere key into the Emby Server dashboard? You can do that here: Once you do this the app will just unlock for you. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 this is just a blatant attempt to force older users to pay again I believe we have explained to you on multiple occasions that you paid for an app developed by a 3rd party multiple years ago. That payment did not go to us so you have never paid us anything and we aren't asking you to. We have a process to re-authorize these old purchases (even though we didn't get a dime from them) and honor them. The problem in your situation is, for some reason, you are continually resetting your Amazon device and causing it to generate a new ID. So we then have to re-authorize it with the new ID. The vast majority of people do not have this issue because their devices are not reset very often. Emby also has never required anyone to re-pay. Quite the opposite. We are allowing you to use the system completely without ever having paid us anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
