ng4ever 39 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Samsung S4 phone.I know it is old.If your wondering why I am using such a old phone it is because I am using it for testing only.Anyway Plex seems to work fine but Emby just tries to open at first then i just get a blank screen the whole time. It is really weird.Emby kinda worked at least to go to the server part or the home screen before I factory reset. Though it would always get jaggy or corrupted video when playing something before I factory reset. Main reason why I factory reset is to try to fix that.

Dibbes 431 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Emby needs at least Marshmellow to run and the S4 has Lollipop as latest official version, so with the stock firmware, no, it won't work. I have not been able to get it to work on Lineage and two or three other unofficial ROMs. The server will just not start at all... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37151 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Why not try the emby web app? http://app.emby.media 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ng4ever 39 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Why not try the emby web app? http://app.emby.media Good idea but it still makes no sense why the Emby app use to work. I was hoping to have the same test environment as well by using the same Emby app but it is ok. That should work for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
