Hi,

 

I was messing around with emby theater as of lately and it seems very good and all but the native video player has a very big mistake that also seems to bother other ppl as well. The player overlay that takes ages to disappear and the overlay has also a shadow on the top that magnifies that problem i think it's a 5 second delay that is huge!!! that's the main reason some try to get an external player, that worked before and was amazing! but now for some reason ...no ....why ??? i just got as a test run a subscription for a month and i was gonna keep it like monthly was even considering taking the 119 option for lifetime coase it's so good but not having in the new version the option for an external player completely killed it for me i basically payed the monthly fee for nothing :/ i don't care for most of the futures except for proper playback of theater.

Please make this an option again to be able to select external player for video playback in the latest version it is almost a must that you took away for no reason.

 

best regards,

 

Michael.

even if i don't think the main reason for using an external player is the "long" overlay hiding time,

basic external player support is there and was never removed

I don't understand, there still is the option for external player in Emby Theater (at least in Desktop)?

 

Maybe you're using the Store version, not the desktop version?!

 

How did you install it?

 

Stor version is more for mibile devices (telephobe, tablet), Desktop version for real PC (HTPC, laptop, workstation, pc).

 

Ciao, Alfred

The store version does not have external player support. You will need to use the desktop version for that. It it still there and has not been removed. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks !
