Assasin_Zer0 0 Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hi , This session was done over Teamviewer to capture all the screenshots , as it's easier getting all the info with a full keyboard and mouse, The same thing happens when i am physically at the device in the next room . It is a Intel NUC7i3BNH. I think i have just managed to resolve the issue. What i have done. Reinstalled windows again . Ran windows updates. Installed all drivers using the Intel Driver assistant. Downloaded Visual C runtime AIO. (Includes 2005 2008 2010 2012 2013 2015 2017 2019 All in both x64 and x86 ) Intel assistant for me did not download the latest IGD so i manually downloaded this from the intel website. Updated to the latest Bios version i was able to find on intel website for this nuc. So to be honest i am not sure what actually resolved the issue. i did follow more or less the same process during the last two re-installs , so my guess would be. Either the Bios update (Which i doubt because ET was working before the initial windows fresh install ) Visual C Runtime Or the updated display drivers.

Assasin_Zer0 0 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 Same issue is back. Did a fresh install again with the latest version of emby. Windows 10 64 bit fully patched. Emby starts up but only shows in the taskbar. I can see the electron and emby service running. Nothing else happens. Tried different display drivers . No change. Any ideas?

Assasin_Zer0 0 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hi Luke, Sorry it's been a hectic , week , I'm still on duty as part of essential services here is South Africa. I'm busy with another fresh install . Will re-install ET once done , and see what happens , I will report back as soon as i am done . Hi Here is everything i could get . So it looks like it starts, But it is only visible in the taskbar, Clicking on doesn't seem to do anything, so it's not like it starts minimized. Sometimes it is almost as if there is an invisible window where emby should be. So if i were to try and click on let's say the X64 folder to opened it . nothing would happen , it would not register the click as if there is some kind of layer in front of it .

Assasin_Zer0 0 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Great, let me know if it helps. Thanks. Hi Luke , Same issue , I have uninstalled, and made sure that there are no leftovers , Did a clean install and it does the same , Just for fun , i also tried running different versions of the intel display drivers and that also didn't really change anything , i though id give it a try anyways as that seemed to have fixed the issue last time .

Luke 36999 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 OK, if you download and just unzip this file, then run embytheater.exe, how does that compare? https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-theater-windows/releases/download/3.0.11/emby-theater-x64.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assasin_Zer0 0 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hi Luke , Looks like the same thing hey , It opens up the first time , prompts for CEC Driver installation and that seems to be it .

KeithA 0 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 My Emby theater just started doing this. When I click it it opens but I see no window. The first time I tried to open it today the window did appear. It disappeared when I tried to maximize it and I haven't seen it again. I tried to reinstall but I receive errors during installation. The condition is the same after a reboot. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try rebooting and then installing the latest version from the website on top of your existing version. Please see if that helps. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParcelRot 1 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I just got the same issue - 3.0.14. Exactly the same issue as the OP in just about every way. Here is the interesting bit...if I close Emby Theater, then change the resolution to something else (ie. from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080), it works again. Doing a full uninstall with removing all traces does not fix it for me. I *have* to use a different resolution than 3840x2160 on my PC otherwise I get the same problem as the OP. Is there a registry artifact being left behind that 'remembers' the resolution I am using??? I suspect that I have to reinstall windows from scratch to fix this. This basically makes Emby Theater useless for me unless I downgrade my display settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
