[Issue] Emby for Android TV crashed on HarmonyOS TV

[Apollo2021 0]

Emby client for Android TV (v1.8.55g）crashed in Huawei HarmonyOS TV when startsup.

It seems that the device might not have interface at URL content://android.media.tv/channel, so IllegalArgumentException was thrown.

I can find the solution for same issue in Kodi.

Please check and fix it, thank you.

Hi, the devs here may be able to work around this but this appears to be a HarmonyOS leanback issue which should get fixed at the source so it works correctly for all apps.

So you may want to report to them as well.

Thanks

Thanks for your quick reply.

I think HarmonyOS is different with Android, so it's difficult to add leanback or TIF support even if I try report the issue  to them.

( Actually some user already reported this issue in the offical forum  one years ago)

 

Anyway,  the Emby is important for me to explore and play the media in NAS. 

Could you please fix this issue in Emby side as KODI ?   Thanks.

Hi.  I think we may have already fixed this a while ago (but it isn't in release yet).  Can you please try the beta of the app?

I tried the Beta version 2.0.06 on my device.  The crash issue when start up has been fixed.

But when I switched the Tab in Home screen,  the app crashed frequently. 

I didn't test in other  device.  Anyway,  i will test if the stable release version is available.

 

Thanks a lot.

Hi there, is it consistent?

Hi,

I tested the latest Android TV  release version (2.0.x).   The app always crahsed  when switch from  "Favorite" to "Home" tab.

I guess it is caused by access failure of  interface  like "URL content://android.media.tv/xxx".

 

BTW.  The mobile version  works well in my device.

Hello,  ebr

This particular issue should already be addressed in the latest beta but there very well could be more on these devices that don't fully support the Android TV spec.

Hi, I tested the Android TV beta version 2.0.19,  the  crash still happen when switch from  "Favorite" to "Home" tab.

This is a key scenario, could you please check it again?

 

Thanks.
