nairnmonster 5 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Emby Theater fully supports a TV remote, FYI.Oh... that changes things massively. What about live TV support with BGT tuner cards? Also, recording TV ability? Edited February 13, 2017 by nairnmonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 You can do that with a live tv plugin from our catalog. For out of box Emby support...stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last question, how is media played with the Emby Theater app. Does it use local codecs and play direct or is it streamed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairnmonster 5 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Last question, how is media played with the Emby Theater app. Does it use local codecs and play direct or is it streamed? I lied, I have others haha. How is the media played when using Emby Theater, direct or streamed? Can the Emby ios app be used to scheduled recordings, series links? Is there a EPG search funcation? Can custom channel icons be used on the EPG? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The Windows version embeds LAV filters and will direct play everything. Yes, all of our mobile apps can be used to schedule recordings. EPG search coming soon. Channel icons, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairnmonster 5 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 That's amazing, I think I might have an issue. My tuners are in the actual HTPC's. Not the server where Emby server is installed. I guess for the tuners to be used, Emby server needs to be installed on the machine with the tuner?

Luke 37046 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Well Emby only currently natively supports HDHomerun network tuners. You can use your internal tuner by installing a Live TV plugin, which will add support for that tuner via external software. You can learn more about this in our Live TV wiki: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Live%20TV In the future we hope to improve this such that the external software will not be needed. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairnmonster 5 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I had a look and a quick play, but because I don't have an EP subscription I was unable to test the Emby Theater app to see if I can access my Tuner. I did install some of the plugins and follows instructions but unable to test. Does seem like a lot of work to get the end result I already have if you get me. My EPG on WMC is now run with EPG123 + Schedules Direct and is much better than with the unreliable WMC EPG data. Also, having the Emby app within MCE is my desiered system. Emby theater is much faster, and also visually stuning. But having to set up all TV again plus buy an Emby sub and pay additional for the 3rd party application, just don't know if it's worth the work just to have actor images load faster. Will wait and see what can be done within Emby for what you suggest for the future. Thanks for all your help and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairnmonster 5 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I bought a subscription today to test ET. It's nice, fast and looks great. But the TV side of it is limited compaired to WMC. So looks like im going to stick with WMC for TV and EMC for media. If I could just get the cast images to load at an acceptable time I would be completely happy with EMC.

Luke 37046 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The TV features in ET will be changing very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairnmonster 5 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 What about the actor\cast images loading faster? Is this something that can be resolved? Is there a way to store the images on the HTPC for local access like MB2, would this work better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Does the latest server help at all? The issue is mostly in EMC but as the server gets faster it may help improve this (even if only a little). Also make sure to check this out: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/blog/1/entry-355-emby-for-ps4-updated-with-new-live-tv-screens/ It's about PS4 but relates to other platforms as well.

d00zah 127 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Sadly, no. Actor images still load very slowly. Chapter images, however, are nearly instantaneous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubchuckle 2 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thank you! I was having the same the problem with cast as well. I have been a supporter since the early days of MB2 and I've tried mostly all the new front end apps for Emby. Nothing compares to EMC. Thank you guys again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
