kjhedges 49 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi, I am using emdy on many varied devices, with many users on a premiere account. My question here is the Samsung UE40H6200AK tizen or orsay? I have checked online and by my reading it could be either. The current app on that TV is Emby Theater 0.122 which I presume is the Orsay app. And no longer developed. With the latest server updates, this TV emby app has a tendency to simply close when starting some streams on both direct play and trans-coding. The TV is about 4 years old from new so quite possibly a 2014 model Any help or advice welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5042 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Your TV should be using the legacy OS Orsay unless you buy an evolution kit to make Tizen https://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/specifications/tv-model-groups There are 2 Orsay apps for the Samsung. The community app which is no longer developed and the official app which you are running. The official app is still maintained though Samsung says they are no longer accepting updates for the legacy app as of last Oct. Luke is trying to get them to take one more update anyway. You could try running the community app alongside the official app to see how it works for you while waiting to see if Samsung will accept another update to the official Orsay app As far as the crashing app goes, is it any certain audio or file type that makes it crash? Or is it everything? I'll see if I can duplicate the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhedges 49 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Hi, thanks for the response. With regard the crash, it is mainly just at the start of playing some media, not specific. Once i load the app again on the tv and play the same media file, it will work. With regards the the Community app. Is this the USb install app from https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/9869-samsung-orsay-smarttv-2011-2014-community-app-install-instructions/ With regards the evolution kit. I have had a quick look at Samsung Evolution Kits. Is there a specific one that would be suitable for My Samsung TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhedges 49 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Well, I installed the community app onto the TV. It loaded up all good, but showed no content from the server. The only part that actually functioned was the yellow button on remote for help. But that didnt help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5042 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I was just able to play an episode using both the official and community app. You might need to supply logs for both apps for Luke to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhedges 49 Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Hi, I shall sort out logs a little later. But, as a note, I notice that it is only the home page of the Community App. Blindly I can play items from the home page or I can blindly navigate up to categories, (movies, tv ect) and within there, ie TV Series, it shows me all the content of tv series. So it appears that it is only the Home page of the community app for me that is not showing any content, although its there. So, maybe a setting somewhere that i need to change to see content on home page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go in to settings you should see you where you can choose the ones you want to see. You should be able to see all your libraries though from the folder view.

kjhedges 49 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Thank you, I adjusted some settings, and now I am able to see the home page with Next Up and Latest TV. Is my memory playing tricks here........ .....Was there at any time an Emby app available for my said Samsung TV that had a older Emby Theatre view, and then the later Emby App Version 0.122 that has a more Roku Emby app design I seem to remember that that version I used back then was more stable than the current. Is it possible to revert back to that version. It had a better UI IMHO too. But like I say, my memory could be shot and its all a dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5042 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Those are the only two apps I'm aware of - and I've been around for awhile Hopefully, Luke can get Samsung to accept v.123 which fixes a lot of issues with v.122. As far as falling back there really is no way with the official app. It's not available for download like the community app is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhedges 49 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Was I correct though that an earlier version that had a different layout than the current was available for my said TV? I just remember the layout and preferred that over any others i have seen. It was only that this particular TV was in a room that wasnt used that often, then all of a sudden the layout changed to roku style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5042 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 In settings you can change it from horizontal to vertical view. Is that more like what you're thinking? It would look more like the web client then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhedges 49 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I will have a play with that and see what results I get thank you. My server log. this was from a point of just on Emby with the Samsung TV in question. Finished watching a tv episode. Then went back to home screen and selected a tv episode from the next up list. Episode started to play for about 2 seconds, then tv went back to normal mode. I restarted emby from the smart menu and I was greeted with the startup process of entering pin from emby.media/pin I also found that I cannot edit some menu items on the tv. I cannot set auto play nextup and a few others. Other apps on the tv still work perfect. no issues on any jumping out of app. I have also just checked plex again out of curiosity, and that app seems to work fine too. I also recall, as I said earlier. that the TV worked perfect with emby on a previous version. embyserver.txt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhedges 49 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 OK, So I have the v2.2.6 installed along with the official app. I like the general feel of the v2.2.6 except for the Homepage. This is to simplistic and limited IMHO. I would prefer the Homepage to be more inline with the Official app. Is this possible, or am I too edit the current v2.2.6 build and change the layout of the homepage to suit my needs? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Agree, the community app needs a little facelift / updating to the feel of things. Unfortunately, the last two main developers of the community app have moved on. Until such time someone else takes the project on (everything is on GitHub) you are kind of bound by what you can do in settings. There are a couple folks around who keep it compatible with server updates and fix major bugs, but that's about it. The official app of course isn't going to get updated in the store unless Samsung reverses their decision on not accepting any further updates to the app running on their legacy OS. So with both apps, you are kind of stuck with what you got until something can be worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geronimogero 0 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Hi folks, I have a Samsung UE65H6400 TV from 2014 and would like to install the Emby app to watch videos from my Sysnology NAS with installed Emby server. I guess I need the old Orsay version for this rather outdated TV. However, I can't find any download links for it. Any idea or links? Thanks in advance Edited August 22, 2022 by Geronimogero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
