supermood Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Screensaver not working. I've tried all 3 possible settings in emby server running on my synology nas (latest version). if emby is running on the shield 2019 pro no Screensaver comes up. really annoying with a oled behind. am I doing something wrong here? not so much settings in the app itself... thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hi there, why exactly do you feel that it's not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermood Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 it's not about feeling I'm not seeing it. Screensaver doesn't start at all. nothing happens. absolutely nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Where did you enable a screensaver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermood Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 did you read my post? emby server synology tried all 3 possibilities (logo, backdrop..) emby on nvidia shield I don't see a setting to Config something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I did read your post, and i expected you would respond by saying you enabled it on the server, in which case my response is that the screensaver is a setting that is individual to each app, so in your case, you enabled it in the web app on the server in that particular browser. The Android TV app currently does not have a built-in screensaver, but it's planned for the future. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermood Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) I'm setting a lot of things via browser on the synology server - which have than effect in a app to play something. don't matter if lg emby app or via shield or on something different. and I wrote that I watch via shield and that there is no setting. does it mean there is no Screensaver on the emby shield app available? was mainly the reason to pay 100eur 2 days ago Edited October 31, 2020 by supermood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Apologies for the confusion. Many of the settings do carry over from one device to another, just not the screensaver because that's the kind of thing that you might want to be different depending on the device, screen, location, etc. The Shield app will be adding screensavers in future updates. Additionally, our standard android app can also run on the Shield and is TV friendly: And it has the same screensavers you're already accustomed to.

supermood Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 I don't understand. I thought I'm running the standard emby app on my shield? installed via playstore. this shield is not rooted and I've not changed so much for now. just installed the app. so how can your link be different?

supermood Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 hi I try to summarize - I'm running android TV app via playstore on my shield, with version 1.8.28g I'm not able to have a Screensaver there's another android non TV version with Screensaver this version is not on your download page, I've tried a lot of flies you have no version info on your download page nor any info somewhere nor have the files a version name. I have to go to your drop box link. than I will run aversion to able to update automatically? I have to deinstall my android TV app before and I will loose all my settings.. sounds more for nerds than for me but I will give it a try.. best d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermood Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 I've installed it. look my emby on android mobile but, dim subtitle is missing and I cannot see any Screensaver setting. that was the reason for installing it. any thoughts? thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolerant Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I miss the "Classic" screensavers from ORIGINAL .. pre-Emby .. back when WinTV on WinXP or 7 offered some legit screensavers. Can we bring them back from the dead? Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hi. We intentionally do not allow the screen saver to kick in while video is paused. The app will dim the screen drastically, however after several minutes. What is the situation where you need to leave the video paused for such a long period?

ebr Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi. The next release of the TV app will allow the screen saver to kick in during pause except during live TV playback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
