I'm testing the emby android app on a chromebook (Samsung Chromebook Plus v1) and there a few issues I encountered. I'd like to troubleshoot further before bringing it up here.

 

How do I get logs from the android app?

 

Thanks

There aren't any, although i'm planning to add a debug option to activate them. Can you please describe the issue that you're having? Thanks.

Sure, I'm on the stable chrome os channel and the latest emby android app.

 

If I close emby with the x at the top right, the next time, it does not load. I get the header and the black background, but no spinning circle, nothing loading. At that point, the only way to make it work again is either force stopping the emby app in android app settings, or rebooting chrome os.

 

If I close emby by clicking the back arrow at the top left repeatedly until it goes all the way back end exits, the next time it opens just fine.

 

I tested this many times to confirm the behavior and it's consistent.

Hi @@Luke

 

Any news on this? Were you able to reproduce the issue?

 

I'm currently on the beta, which is chrome os 69.0.3497.73, the issue is there and it is 100% consistent. Close it with the "x", next time you get blank screen, no spinner (requires force stopping emby). But if you close with the back button, next time you open, you initially get the blank screen, but shortly after you get the spinner and then everything loads.

 

Let me know if there is any troubleshooting I can do on my end.

Luke,

 

I can confirm this exact behavior on a Chromebook running the stable Emby for Android app and on a Chromebook running the beta Emby for Android app.

Thank you for reporting this and the behavior with the back arrow that will allow a restart of Emby for Android without performing a FORCE STOP or a reboot of Chromebook.

 

I am on Stable Chrome OS and find if I exit with back button as you suggested, I do have to attempt to OPEN the Emby app twice before it opens and the app opens in a non-maximized Portrait mode as if it were opening on a phone screen. Once it opens I can then maximize to get it back to full screen. Are you seeing similar behavior?

I'm on beta chromeOS now and use the stable emby. If I exit with the back arrow, the next time, it opens just fine, and in fullscreen.

Thanks for the feedback !

Thanks for the update. I am seeing the same behavior on Stable Chrome OS and Beta Android app now. Using the back arrow or the ESC button on keyboard will close out app and it will open again in fullscreen mode. Use the X (Exit) button in upper right corner and I get a blank screen with the next OPEN and have to do a FORCE STOP on Emby app to get it up and running.

Stable CHROME OS and BETA Android app. Back button or ESC button allows exit and restart with no issue. Using the X (Exit) button on Emby app brings up a blank screen on next OPEN and requires a FORCE STOP of app.

Is this still an issue with 3.0.31+?

Yes. Same behavior is there if you exit using the X (Close) button on 3.0.31.

Ok thanks for the info. We'll take another look at it.

Is this still an issue in 3.0.87+ ?

@@Luke

 

Just tested on 3.0.87 on Stable Chrome OS and I don't see the issue. I can exit using the X CLOSE option and EMBY will restart properly.

 

Thanks.
