SBH46 6 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Hi, I currently have a Minix U9-H running LibreELEC Kodi Krypton connected to my TV, which is also connected to a HDD with my library of movies and TV shows. Up until the PC died I had it connected to my TV running Win 7 and Emby in WMC. I find (unlike a lot of people) I'm not a fan of Kodi. If I want to watch Catch Up or streaming channels I can do that through the Fetch Mighty which is also connected to the TV for FTA channels. I would like to run Emby Server & Client directly from Android on The Minix. As I much prefer the interface to Kodi. Is this possible ? And if so how ?

Luke 37008 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi there, you can certainly run the client, but we have not personally tested the server on this device. Technically speaking, the server should run on most android devices running android 7.0+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 You can run our Android TV app assuming the box has a true Android TV version of Android on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBH46 6 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 You can run our Android TV app assuming the box has a true Android TV version of Android on it. Not sure I follow this as the Emby client & Server I want to run has nothing to do with Live TV Would I be able to find these in Google/Android store or would I have to side load them off USB ?

Luke 37008 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 You can find the server here: https://emby.media/server-android.html And the app here: https://emby.media/emby-for-android-tv.html Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBH46 6 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Thanks I'll get onto that and let you know the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBH46 6 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 OK installed the server - no problems - installed the client - no problems - everything works. Can someone tell me when you start the client how to increase the size of the font on the description of episode you want to watch, at the moment you cannot read it unless you go up to the TV screen. Maybe I need to run it with a different scheme ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 What client app did you install? Our TV app, or our mobile app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Also, make sure the device's font settings aren't set to something tiny. Many of these not really TV boxes have defaults for close-up use instead of 10'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBH46 6 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 What client app did you install? Our TV app, or our mobile app? The Emby TV app All the other fonts on it are quite legible except the description of the episode When I was running this in WMC it was perfect. Also, make sure the device's font settings aren't set to something tiny. Many of these not really TV boxes have defaults for close-up use instead of 10'. This is definitely A TV box as Kodi runs well (but I prefer Emby) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 This is definitely A TV box as Kodi runs well (but I prefer Emby) Whether or not Kodi runs on it doesn't really have any bearing on what Android version and features are there I'm afraid but, did you check the font settings? What were they set to? What does the main device launcher screen look like on this box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
