72Cutlass 1 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Google assistant on Shield tv never shows me anything in my Emby library, if I use a voice command like John wick or whatever movie, it shows watch youtube trailer or Netflix, or Google play, but not emby...the emby app is on my screen for "suggested for me", but how to get it to look at my library via the voice search?

It is in the released app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vezel 0 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi I am able to do the voice search for movies but not for tv shows. For example if I say "Brooklyn 99" I only get Netflix as a result. I saw that you can't search for episode, but is it possible to be able to search for tv shows and juay let it default to lets say season 1 episode 1?

vezel 0 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Or actually lookee a bit more now. It shows under more info but not the first screen 20201227_214504.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Right. Okay, that is related to the specific search. If you search for something that returns a single result - you'll get a screen like I did. If you search for something that has multiple results, then you get the more expanded view with all the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keitpark 1 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Voice search works partially for me with Emby on my Shield TV. I have Emby enabled as a searchable app. However, only some of the movies I have display in the "Available On" results. Anyone have an idea what the issue might be?

keitpark 1 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Did a bit of checking and movies that seem to have issues are: Star Wars movies - for example, The Empire Strikes Back. It looks like it wants Star Wars in the name. On a search Disney Plus shows up but not Emby. A search within Emby does work. Movies with or without punctuation - for example, Heathers. Disney Plus shows up but not on Emby. This search looks for Heather's. Amazon comes up finding Heathers. If I correct the search to Heathers Emby still does not come up. In Emby Heather's is the search term that comes up, but I have to correct it to find the movie within Emby search. Other somewhat similar examples is Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. Although when I tried it a second time, it worked. Finally movies with numbers in the name - for example, Gone in 60 Seconds. The search comes up with 60 not sixty. Amazon and Google come up with results. Emby has the move listed as sixty so I need that exact wording to locate in Emby. Seems as though other sources seem to be able to handle these types of scenarios but not Emby. Those seem to be the main instances I can find. Sorry for the delay in responding, was a bit busy with things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The same search routines are being used inside Emby and with this feature. Google just calls us to do a search and then we return results. What they do with those results (like possibly ignore them) we cannot control unfortunately. As for some of the things like 60 vs sixty are just levels of sophistication with search in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
