TylerV76 84 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) ??? Plex... Ive seen a number of users mentioning that they have left Emby and gone back to Plex and if Im being honest, I am 99% sure I am going to do the same this weekend. The HDR and Live TV issues have gone on too long. Edited May 16, 2019 by TylerV76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Just get a power hungry HTPC I'm about to make mine more power hungry when I add an EVGA RTX 2060 XC Gaming, GPU It plays EVERYTHING! Jokes aside, this really needs to get fixed. Someone needs to own the issue, and resolve it. This is just going around and around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerV76 84 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Don't you want a personal media server? Of course and I'll have to use Plex's unless this gets resolved. Seems the trend is much more the other way Do you have an active thread about the Live TV issue you're experiencing? Unfortunately most people having this issue seem to be using Plex for cropped HDR. If I recall correctly, you are one of those people aren't you? Yes people are coming to Emby from Plex far more than the other way around but Emby users are also relying on Plex until Emby fixes its issues, regardless of who's at fault. Eventually, people like me, get tired of running 2 servers and go with the one that plays files properly. Yeah there's a thread but the latest news is nothing can be done unless the upcoming Nvidia fixes it. It bothers me that Emby is the only app that has issues with Live TV.

Someone needs to own the issue, and resolve it. This is just going around and around. If I didn't have TV's in 5 rooms that played media, this is what I would do. This really does need to get fixed as well as other things. Instead of adding new features, the outstanding issues should be resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not really anyone else experiencing that though and I also cannot reproduce it so that does make it tough to track down. I'm really just stabbing in the dark as for whether or not that is related to the Nvidia problem but you could test it by requesting the hotfix image from them...

ebr 14910 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 From NVidia - a light at the end of the tunnel: We’re able to reproduce the Emby issue in 7.2.3. The good news is the issue is resolved in our next release. We don’t have a date for that to share but this issue looks like it’ll be resolved in the next SHIELD Experience update. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Here's a question. This may have been addressed, previously, I don't remember. Has anyone tried playing these movies directly in Exoplayer, outside of emby, on the shield? If so, what was the result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the reason he couldn't reproduce initially must've been that he was on an internal build of the Shield firmware and they have fixed the issue in that.

So, one may assume that they did fix it due to the issue filed with Google but simply never communicated back to them/us that they had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
