sk1deep 0 Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 I have a weird problem with music on the emby android app. It plays fine through my phone speaker but when I try to play through a bluetooth headset I get extremely choppy playback. The only way I get it to work is to disconnect my headset, start the song then connect the headset. I have to do that every time I want to listen to a song. Tried on 2 different headsets. Video works fine over bluetooth.
ombra040683 1 Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 I have nearly the same issue. Look on my post (German), there is also a video I made. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/51065-Emby-Android-+-Bluetooth-Audio-Probleme
Luke 39869 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Is this still an issue? i have not been able to reproduce it. Thanks !
wedgekc 12 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 I have the same issue. Other apps work fine using bluetooth. I'm on Android 6.0.
ombra040683 1 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Still the same issue for me. Please let me know if I can help with more information or log-files.
Banjo 2 Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Same issue for me with a pair of Sony WF1000X earbuds.
Banjo 2 Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 Is this still an issue? i have not been able to reproduce it. Thanks ! Luke, are you still having trouble diagnosing this? Happy to help if I can.
Luke 39869 Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 We are looking into it and are in process of replacing both the audio and video players with something brand new, so we'll re-evaluate this as part of that effort. Thanks !
Banjo 2 Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 Is there a projected schedule for those upgrades? Or is it SoonTM?
Luke 39869 Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 As a test, can you please try out this version? https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/53753-emby-for-android-libmpv-testing/ Thanks !
wedgekc 12 Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Hey Luke, tried the new version and I have the same issue as before.
Banjo 2 Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 As a test, can you please try out this version? https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/53753-emby-for-android-libmpv-testing/ Thanks ! I download the apk, run it and get a dialog to Cancel, Market or install. I choose Install and it errors with: "There was a problem while parsing the package." I've re-downloaded a couple of times. Samsung Galaxy S6, Android 7, kernel 3.10.61-10958180
sk1deep 0 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 Add me to the list of people with this problem. Strangely enough it doesn't do this with a tablet with the same OS(android 7) but has done it across 2 phones I've used. Noticed the other person's phone is a samsung and both mine were LG if that helps.
Luke 39869 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 It's resolved for the next release of the app, thanks.
Luke 39869 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 There are improvements for this in the beta version of the app. If you'd like to try that you can learn how here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/24350-android-open-beta-testing/ Thanks !
ghostquito 6 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I just tested this in my car this morning, working perfectly. The only thing i would say is when hitting the track back when a song is playing usually starts the song over. In emby case it actually goes back 1 track. Not sure if that's even a issue, could live with it either way.. Thanks!!!!
Luke 39869 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Wouldn't you want it to go back one track?
ghostquito 6 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 From my experience CD players and Mp3 players start the same track over again if you hit back once, you have to hit back twice to go back a track. Again i don't really care either way, was just so use to having to hit back twice it messed me up a little bit until i figure out what was going on.
ebr 15618 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 From my experience CD players and Mp3 players start the same track over again if you hit back once, you have to hit back twice to go back a track. Again i don't really care either way, was just so use to having to hit back twice it messed me up a little bit until i figure out what was going on. The TV apps do this type of thing. If you are more than about 10 seconds into the track and hit back, it returns to the beginning of that track, otherwise, it goes to the previous one - the net effect being that two backs take you to the previous track if you are into the current one. I took this logic from the aforementioned old box behavior.
bernado99 5 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) The beta app didn't fix this Bluetooth audio issue for me (using Honor 5C phone). As mentioned by others works fine in browser or Kodi with Emby addon for me also, It doesn't make a difference either if I download a track and play it offline from the Android app. Any other suggestions to help fix this? There is no log in the app for today's date though I've been testing this out, unless the beta app stores logs in a different location to the usual? Thanks Edited February 17, 2018 by bernado99
Luke 39869 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Not sure what you're referring to but if you're referring to a delay then no that is something we haven't looked at adding yet.
bernado99 5 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 No not a delay issue, the app for me just can't play music over Bluetooth without it totally falling apart. It starts just fine, then gets slow and stuttery until it can't play anymore. As I say this behaviour only happens when using the app, either streaming music from the server or playing offline downloaded files. I can play video files using the app and send the audio to a bluetooth device just fine oddly. I've tried 3 different Bluetooth audio devices with exactly the same result.
Luke 39869 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Ok I'll test again but i haven't seen that before, thanks.
