thura10 1 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 No, I'm not creating another topic to complain about how emby sucks since it doensn't have a native mac app. Instead, I went ahead and compiled the linux version for mac. Now I'm stupid so I don't know how I've done this either but it works. Well, kinda. You have to use an external player to play it. I've installed mpv so idk why either. Here's the thing though, I don't know if I'm allowed to share it because when I was compiling the electron app, it used my apple ID (I think?) or my certificate, so first up, I don't know if it can even run on other macs. Second, I don't wanna take credit for this either (maybe a little), because I literally went to github of emby theater linux, downloaded the source code and just compiled it. Took me like two hours so I'm sending you an invoice luke. Anyway, rn, I have the dmg of it and I can share it if anyone approves me to. At the moment, I'd appreciate it if any of you can help me with the external player thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37066 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 HI there, what happens when you try to setup an external player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thura10 1 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 W HI there, what happens when you try to setup an external player? Works perfectly. I setup a test server on localhost with a HEVC 10 bit 4K file and it didn't transcode so I'd say that went pretty well. Funnily enough, the external player I'm using is IINA, which is actually based on mpv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37066 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Great news. So then what is your question about external players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thura10 1 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Great news. So then what is your question about external players? Oh no. It's not a question. Just wanted to know if I'm allowed to share it because it is just compiled source code of github with my apple id with a couple things changed to make it run on mac. Also, one weird thing, if I run the app without compiling it on electron, the built-in mpv works but once I compile it, nothing will play until I setup an external player.

Keep in mind that it's a catalyst app, so it's an iOS app ported to Mac. Title should be Emby iOS for Mac instead Emby Theater for Mac.

Luke 37066 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The apps are unified now, it can adapt to whatever device you use, so emby theater would be fine or even just emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buttons are in the middle of the screen like in a touch layout instead of the bottom, that's why @angryblue missed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37066 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yea unfortunately that's because of this: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209292 So we're just doing our best to work around it until it's resolved. So I'll have to tweak the hacks we have a little bit more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thura10 1 Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 I'm still involved in this topic for some reason so I thought I might give some feedback. I tried the app. I'm assuming its a catalyst app. The keyboard shortcuts only work after the overlay disappears. You should REALLY add picture-in-picture support and external players support. Overall, excellent app in a very small size. If it's a catalyst app, you can configure different targets for Mac and iOS, so you should have no problem adapting the UI for mac to a desktop layout.
