Essasetic 1 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I was wondering if an Nintendo Switch Emby app was possible. Due to a lack of media apps like Netflix and Hulu not being available in the UK. I'm unable to watch any media on my Switch at all! It would be great if I could watch Regular Show and other TV shows on the go. I would love it if an Emby app for Nintendo Switch was made.

Luke 36884 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Is there a web browser, and if so does it run the web app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essasetic 1 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 There is a web browser but it is hidden. I've read another post relating to this and no. It cannot run Emby through the web browser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36884 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Can you try it and see if that's still true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36884 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Also, does their app store actually have any apps that aren't games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essasetic 1 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 1. I've tried it! It connects to the server and it loads up stuff. But it cannot play anything. (Using SwitchBru as that's the only way to practically access the web browser) 2. In the US eshop there is Hulu a streaming app like Netflix.

Luke 36884 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 so the ui looks fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essasetic 1 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Ui on what? Emby Web Page or Hulu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36884 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 on Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essasetic 1 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Oh. Yeah the UI looks fine. No HTML or CSS problems it's just that videos won't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36884 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Can you try a plain mp4 with h264 video and aac or mp3 audio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essasetic 1 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 I've only tried h.264 and h.265 video. But I think if it can't play video I don't think it can play audio ether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essasetic 1 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Does that mean a Switch app will be made/considered or is it just a dead idea now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laie_techie 11 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Another option might be to use a DLNA client (such as VLC) on the Switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
