bigeyez 7 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) HI The device does not show up under play on devices, If a device is put to sleep while Emby app is running and then woken up. I need to restart the Emby app to make it show up under available play on devices on my other devices.And that seems to be the only solution so far. Emby works as usual without any other issue on that device whether it is listed under play on on other devices or not. So waking it up does not interfere with Emby's other functionalities. This is on Lineage OS 7.1 thanks Edited March 7, 2018 by bigeyez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hi, can you give an example? Are you referring to some dlna device on your network like a smart tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) No no dlna device. -Open Emby app on deviceA (Android) -Use it for a while -Check to see if deviceA is listed on other devices, most likely it will be listed as play on device. -Put the device to sleep while the app is in the front (I just press the power button lightly) -Wait some hours -Awake your tablet DeviceA -Emby will be open there, -Go to another device or your server -Open the play on menu on that other device -DeviceA is not listed. -Restart Emby app on DeviceA -Emby on DeviceA is now listed available as play on device on other devices.

Luke 37112 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I see. When you awake device A, what exactly is your process of doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Like I listed above, in that context awaking can be pressing the power button, or pressing volume keys etc. LIterally you are turning the screen on, I am not sure how this is done on ANdroid system. Whatever is called, press power to to put to sleep or turn the screen off, press again to turn the screen on.

Luke 37112 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Ok what if you also in addition to that, do a navigation in the emby app? In other words just move from one screen to another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Navigation, playing movies etc all work in Emby app after turning it on but none of those steps seemed to make the deviceA to be available to other devices , I already tried that basically. One this is that the device puts the wireless to sleep, basically the wireless is available only when the device is on state (to save battery). However that works fine when the device is on, all the internet etc work including Emby video, navigation features that was started prior to turning the screen off(asuming it is sleep). Basically it seems like once Emby looses connection with the server (in sleep state I assume), it never registers it back to the server as an available play on device after the device is on and Emby app is up an running, unless the Emby app is killed and restarted Edited March 7, 2018 by bigeyez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 This issue has been there for quite sometime, I just bothered to report now really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Ok we'll test this out, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeyez 7 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Yeah the trick ( I think) might be to set your wireless such that it is turned off in the sleep mode (there is a setting in every android for that), so the Emby app running thinks no internet is available I guess.
