thanks for the quick reply, so I was on a older version but I just updated to 4.5.4.0 ...   but unfortunately still nothing in top shelf.

@NorthDegree -- I know it may sound silly but would you mind rebooting your Apple TV and seeing if the Top Shelf returns?

@NorthDegree if it happens again, what I've found to be successful for me is deleting the app and reinstalling. Kind of a pain in the ass but it works every time. Easy to log back in to your Emby Server as well.

Have you tired reinstalling the app? Do you have the most up to date app?

App is up to date and restart did not fix however turning off Apple TV (pull plug) DID FIX!

If it happens again, go ahead and delete the app and reinstall it. Not sure why but I had to do that once and haven’t had any issues since. Sadly I’ve found myself using Infuse more and more as a front end for my Emby server when using Apple TV. The hope is that the Apple TV app eventually catches up to the Android and Roku apps!!! FINGERS CROSSED.

Happened to me on the latest version.

 

Even uninstalled Emby app and re-installed (after the initial upgrade!). Still blank. Working fine before version update. always populated.

 

Also the new version removed login details and had to reconfigure - not good if family using Apple TV remotely in another location.

And 'bwdif' is giving odd results on PAL 50hz 1920x1080i content. Sometimes it shows the video with clear "combing" artefacts where deinterlacing not working. Other similar content at other times is fine, yet they are encoded all the same using same app - (Level 4.0 High Profile 11mbps Interlaced 25 frames per second constant, MP4, AVC, BT709)

Album Artists set as a sticky for MUSIC library, does not "stick" but only on Apple TV app

Photos & Videos did not stick on "Folders" - only on Apple TV app

Images in Channels or Guide too large as the code does not scale channel logos down to fit a certain size, see image.

Luke / Corey - is there anything you add?

Thank you.

@unisoftand @NorthDegree -- The only possibility that I can think of is that a specific set of media is causing the Top Shelf extension to crash. The only way I can effectively troubleshoot this is with direct access to a server that is having this issue so I can try and identify the specific issue.

Can you send a PM to Corey and I containing your Emby Server url, username and password that we can test with? Thanks !

Luke,

Nothing would fix the top shelf issue, uninstalling Emby and re-installing, rebooting server, rebooting Apple TV.

I applied the tvOS 14.5 update and it fixed itself immediately after reboot and top shelf now populates. The other issues like channel logo resizing properly still exist (as I think thats simply code that doesn;t resize to a defined regime on Apple TV App.)
