Guest asrequested Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Really? IMO, the Emby Android TV app is the creme de la creme of all the Emby apps. There would appear to be two distinct groups on this. I also find the Theater UI much better. The ATV UI is far too cramped. If I were to showcase emby, Theater is what I'd use. The word 'polished' is used frequently on here, so I feel that Theater is more 'polished', and easier to navigate. I just thought of the word that I should use.... symmetry. Theater has more symmetry. The ATV UI has very little symmetry. I like symmetry Edited December 2, 2018 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your Windows machine boot directly into Emby or how do you get Emby Theater to start? Once ET starts, which remote do you use to control it??

Then I just leave it open all the time. I use a harmony remote paired with a harmony hub, which connects to the computer via Bluetooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdiesel 1114 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 True but most people purchasing a Shield TV do so because they just want to consume their media and don't want a computer. Good thing there are options thatnfit everyones needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to admit it, but the Shield does play more codecs???, than my Vorke V2 Windows miniPC (VORKE V2 Ultra Compact PC Intel Skylake I5-6200U Ubuntu16.04 8GB DDR3L 128GB Samsung SSD 802.11AC WIFI Gigabit LAN HDMI USB 3.1 Type C). I just acquired a 4k movie and have been testing it on all of my devices ( a lot of them ) using Emby. Only the Shield would play it natively (to my disappointment). My Vorke would not even play at 2 fps. I even tried to play it on my Main computer, and it would not play on that. I forget the specs of my Main computer, but I built it a couple of years ago, using mid range components. You must have a very powerful PC, that you are using as your Emby client..

My Beelink X45 plays everything perfectly, except 4k HDR. 4k SDR play just fine, but it struggles with the tone mapping for HDR. This is the main reason I'm building a new machine. I have a GTX 1050 sitting around, so I'm going to put it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkss12 295 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) I acquired my Skyscraper movie in 4k to test my different devices on play back. I do have to eat my humble pie, since for over 3 years I have REFUSED to purchase an Nvidia Shield, since it just works, and I prefer to tinker. I actually purchased it when it was on sale 3 or 4 weeks ago, mainly as a basis of comparison. Well, that comparison has finally come home to roost. While testing this 4k movie playback on my devices, I found out that ONLY the NVIDIA will play that movie. Even my desktop computer that I built a couple of years ago, only has audio and a blank screen. My Vorke V2 ( Windows 10 microPC) will not play it either. I do have another newer device coming, but it has been floating around the country via the USPS. It has hit within 10 miles of me, but got sent back to Kansas (Wizard of OZ maybe), anyway that is another story. I had the file stored on my Synology DS216+II NAS, but after I started to play the video on my other devices and when I STOPPED the playback, my NAS would go NUTS, for at least half an hour. All my testing was done using Emby. So, to take my NAS out of the equation, I purchased an 8 TB powered external HDD. Now, the problems really begin. I was indecisive on which device to connect the HDD to, the Shield or my Vorke. Well, I connected the HDD to my Shield, but lo and behold, the Shield does NOT allow writing to it. Moved the HDD to my Vorke, but the only USB 3 port is on the FRONT of that device, so I chose to move the HDD to my Asus RT-AC1900P (awesome wireless router), since it has a USB 3 port. BUT, after transferring files, it was only transferring at USB 2 transfer rates. Called Asus to complain, but they bumped the issue up stream, so they will call my later. I do have other options, I have some devices with USB 3 ports running Linux, and a Zidoo X9S which would work very well as an SMB server for my HDD. Anyway, right now I am using my HDD connected to my Vorke V2, but I can't get ANY of my boxes using Kodi running Android or LibreELEC or CoreELEC to even SEE my HDD. I will need some help on this issue from people that know how to make the Windows 10 serve as an SMB or NFS server, so my Kodi boxes can see my HDD. My desktop computer hardware, audio works, but black screen...

Jdiesel 1114 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) If there is any truth to this post the Shield Experience Upgrade 7.2 should be a big one https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=304226&pid=2797665#pid2797665 I'm very excited about the auto refreshrate and colourspace switching as well as the scaling improvements. These were all areas that the Apple TV performed better in. Edited December 5, 2018 by Jdiesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine but :shurg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use CEC for power on/off and haven't noticed any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I wonder if the HDR issue is fixed with 7.2? But that does look like it could be a big upgrade for shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
