Previous android emby app apk

[mfemby 1]

Hi

I cannot use the latest android app as it requires that the emby server I want to access to, needs to be updated.

Because of issues with the latest Emby server update, I am not interested in updating it and I want to remain on the older server version 4.6.7.

I can access the server on the web media, but then I am not able to use Chromecast. Therefore where can i download android app apk for previous app version that is compatible with the Emby server version 4.6.7

 

Best regards

What are the issues which are so important to you?

On latest version 4.7.14 I have these issues:

1. Playback error on some movies, others are ok.

2. Subtitles are not shown on any movies. Cannot select subtitles.

3. When pausing a movie the remaining time is not saved, and the movie is just marked as played.

I have tried to solve the issues by uninstall and reinstall Emby with latest version but with no luck.

Reverted to version 4.6.7 and I no longer have these issues. 

The Emby Server is running on Debian GNU/Linux 9.13

Those are not general problems.  You could consider asking for help fixing them.

I searched other threads but only found recommendations to uninstall and reinstall.

If you or anyone could help fixing the issues I would appreciate it. I have just been struggling with it for a while so thought it would be easier to remain on the version I know works.

Perhaps explain what specific problems you had in the period of that log - or are you saying that all three you mentioned are demonstrated?

How to Report a Problem

That log is stuffed full of ffprobe errors which read to me (I don't know the code, though) like something in the code is corrupt or the wrong version.  I would want that cleaned up before judging anything else.  

How did you download this version?

If you scroll down in:
https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases
you could download and try 4.7.13 to see if that is different (or even get 4.7.14 from there to see if that's the same).

Ok, do you have a suggestion on how?

I download from here:

https://api.github.com/repos/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/latest

I've had the issues for a while since 4.7 I think

[pwhodges 2012]

Someone who knows Linux is probably a better bet than me.

But:

/media/sdl1/nobody/opt/emby-server/bin/ffprobe: /media/sdl1/nobody/opt/emby-server/lib/libmfx.so.1: no version information available (required by /media/sdl1/nobody/opt/emby-server/lib/libavfilter.so.8)

looks like a build error to me.

HI, if you're on 4.6 then I would install emby Server 4.7.14.

There is also the 4.8 beta, but that now requires android 9+ in order to run the server.

What version of android does your device run?

[mfemby 1]

Android 10.

[Luke 42077]

OK you can get 4.6.7 here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/tag/4.6.7.0

You can also try and walk up the 4.7 releases to see if you can at least update a little bit.

I already reverted to emby server 4.6.7, and it works without issues

It's however the latest android Emby app that won't let me access the server. I can access the server on the web player, but then I am not able to use Chromecast. Therefore where can i download android app apk for previous app version that is compatible with the Emby server version 4.6.7

[mfemby 1]

I found and downloaded an Emby for android apk version 3.2.26 from apk mirror, that doesn't block the emby server version 4.6.7. All good now and no issues.
