tgunergun 1 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Hi Guys, Is it possible to use Emby APP on iPhone to play content on Apple TV? I used to achieve this with my mede8er player as it shows up as DLNA render in the app, however Apple TV does not support DLNA ;( PS: Yes there is also Emby APP on AppleTV, but i want to control everything from my mobile Cheers Tunc Edited March 3, 2018 by tgunergun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37100 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hi, our Apple TV app supports remote control, so just start the app and then you can control it from your mobile device. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. thanks Luke, got it working. Few more questions 1. If a file needs to be transcoded, remuxed and etc... no matter what we generate a ffpmpeg-xxx log file, dont we? 2. Also when using Emby App on Apple TV, as it does not use DLNA protocol, custom profiles created under DLNA do not take effect? UserAgent: AppleCoreMedia/1.0.0.15K600 (Apple TV; U; CPU OS 11_2_6 like Mac OS X; en_gb) UserAgent: emby.media.emby-tvos/1.0.10 iOS/11.2.6 AppleTV/11.2.6 model/AppleTV6,2 hwp/t8011 build/15K600 (3; dt:163) Many thanks!

So i can not dictate what to play direct, stream or etc.. on Emby for Apple 4k TV? Edited March 3, 2018 by tgunergun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37100 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 There is no need because the app will already direct play whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14925 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 ACK! seems Apple 4k TV is piece of shite in terms of format support then Yes Apple has extremely limited format support. Basically, they are interested in supporting any format that comes out of iTunes and that's about it . We are looking into ways we can increase our compatibility in the app though.

Sadly its, a friend of mine asked me to try it, but seems i'll fall back to my mede8er player. Btw, i realized that seek functionality does not work properly for video files... i start a movie, want to jump to 15th minute but no luck, it goes all the way to the end. Is this a known issue?

Luke 37100 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Are you seeking from the TV, or seeking from the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgunergun 1 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Are you seeking from the TV, or seeking from the phone? seeking from phone... attached 2 photos showing how i do connect from my Emby Iphone app to Emby on AppleTV. Also last one to show what happens when i try to seek a playing file, it goes straight to the end... If i start playing a video file from Emby AppleTV App. and then use Apple TV remote app to seek playing file that works, so annoying ;-) my video files are stored on my desktop where i also run Emby Server.

Btw, i also discovered that when you choose to play a file (Emby iphone controls Emby Apple TV) there is no way to skip "resume or play from beginning" dialog box. If the file is played once, you are screwed, must go back to Apple TV remote, select one option to proceed ;-( Edited March 4, 2018 by tgunergun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you also notice a bug about screen saver blocking the app while watching? Another one i believe is an issue happens when playing music, changing between tracks in the same album, Apple TV app screen does not get updated, it kind of works when changing between albums but kind of delayed, also when you press next icon to play the next track, it does not work all the time, you need to list all the tracks and select 2nd track to get it working... cheers Edited March 4, 2018 by tgunergun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of content are you viewing and does it happen all the time or is it sporadic? We’re using the native Apple player and the screensaver is entirely OS controlled so I’m not sure what we can do here. As far as the music issue I’ll have to take a look.

Thanks! @corey @ebr sorry, i was away with work last week, attached some screenshots regarding play issues. 1. click on first track on app, it plays and tv shows correct track 2. click on second track on app, it does NOT play at all 3. make a right click on the second track on the app, select play/play-next, then it plays and tv shows correct track 4. pausing a track does not work at all (stop works though) 5. also changing from playing music to video does not update the playlist in the bottom part of the screen btw, when playing a 1080p HD video from AppleTV 4k app, the resolution does not get corrected (new IOS has this feature and it works for my other apps).. it stucks at 4k while playing a 1080p movie Edited March 16, 2018 by tgunergun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
