ECOTV 6 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) I just recently purchased Emby Premiere (& to give it a try) but the problem that has been plaguing me the first time I tried it remains. The app which is available on the Samsung Store which Emby Server detected as Emby Theater 0.118 crashes on browsing & playing. Even if I am just scrolling on the home, the app crashes and returns to the last source (which is HDMI 1). I have to open it again and the same thing happened over and over again. Sometimes a movie would play but after an unknown of time (it varies on every video that successfully played) the app crashes once again. This issues is the biggest letdown for me the first time I tried it and yet it is still the same. I tried the "develop" install mode provided in this forum and that one play and browse without the issue that the Emby in app store has. Though the UI is somewhat a bit outdated. What is going on here? Why is 1 app working while the one in the store does not?

FrostByte 5044 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) The attachment didn't upload for some reason. Just to make sure, do you have the latest firmware updated for your TV? Also, the thread below sounds like it may be the same thing you're seeing. You both have the same year TV https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/61110-emby-app-crashing/ Edited August 5, 2018 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 What year is the model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5044 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 ECOTV has 2014. I'm also running the 2014 SmartHub, only real difference is that mine is a Premium TV with evokit @ECOTV is there any certain key sequence that always makes yours crash, or is it just random? I'll play around with the menus on mine a little more this morning to see if I can make mine crash too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECOTV 6 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 I edited the first post with a link to the log. It is completely random crashes. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but every time it crashes out of the app back to HDMI source. I will record a video where I demonstrate how it is crashing.

ECOTV 6 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Here is the screen capture on the Emby Dashboard as well as the video capture using my phone on the TV. Latest log is also attached. https://youtu.be/BTWQ6UXzpEI (Screen capture of the dashboard, video cut off where the TV app crash) https://youtu.be/UvhpVgXncvM (Recorded the TV with Emby app playing movies and browsing.

FrostByte 5044 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Thanks, Not that it makes a difference, but I assume (looking at the "A" in your model number) that you had to change your region to load the app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that quite a while ago to get Amazon Prime Video and Hulu to work and also to install Emby. As I said I use Emby before but because of the constant app crashes I used Plex (I have a yearly plan right now on them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECOTV 6 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) But I also installed by using this method: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/9869-samsung-smart-tv-app-install-instructions/?p=277344 So basically there are 2 Emby on the TV. The emby on the video doesn't work (keeps crashing) while the other one from the method on the link, does work Samsung SmartTV (UA40H5500) Emby Theater 0.118 (The one that crashes) Samsung UA40H5500 Samsung TV v2.2.4 Edited August 5, 2018 by ECOTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5044 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Unfortunately, the app in the link is no longer developed which is why it looks outdated. It was a third party app and both of the main developers have moved on. So far I have not been able to duplicate this, but will try again here in order to help. Sounds like this has been happening for awhile now and you are the second one to say something recently. The other is in the link I posted above Hopefully Luke or SamES will figure it out soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it again this month because of a Youtube video I saw. I reinstalled and rescanned Emby but still it is crashing. Now i am wondering if I wasted a month of subscription if this issue won't be solve in time before my month of subs expire. I just hope I get compensated or something along that line.

Last night I tried watching The 100 and I was careful not to crash it like moving through library slowly. Edited August 9, 2018 by ECOTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5044 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) I was careful not to crash it like moving through library slowly. Is that what you're doing when it crashes? I noticed you doing that in your video. Or, does it also crash when you just start the app and watch a movie without jumping around, switching sources, etc? I did try moving around and getting it to crash, but maybe I wasn't going fast enough. Edit: I don't see version 119 yet in the store. I'll check again later Edited August 9, 2018 by FrostByte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECOTV 6 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Correction on previous reply. The app hasn't replied. I thought 0.118 is the new version when my app is already 0.118 already. Is there a version 0.119 coming soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5044 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yes. That's what I've been doing last year and now. Okay, thanks Correction on previous reply. The app hasn't replied. I thought 0.118 is the new version when my app is already 0.118 already. Is there a version 0.119 coming soon? Yes, it's in review at Samsung. Hopefully it will be available soon as Samsung doesn't seem to take as long testing Orsay apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECOTV 6 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Okay, thanks Yes, it's in review at Samsung. Hopefully it will be available soon as Samsung doesn't seem to take as long testing Orsay apps. Oh and I just found out a certain part of the app that crashes when used. Selecting subtitle. When I hit the selection for subtitle, the selection appears but the highlight doesn't. No way to go back because the back button on the remote doesn't work or the app hangs (yes, the back button on my remote works fine). You keep pressing it until the app crashes. Sometimes the selection for subtitle works but it rarely works. Either on internal subtitle or external subtitle. It doesn't matter really. The app crashes every time. When it crashes every time I revert to using Plex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried scrolling up and down several times with no avail. Kept hitting Return and eventually app exited. BTW my TV just auto updated to version 119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
