Google TV Streamer refresh rate switching broken

[ALD76 26]

With 2.1.21g refresh rate switching just gives an "Unable to set refresh rate" message on the new Google TV Streamer .

The standard Android app works without issue.

Hi, are you happy continuing to use this?

Hi Luke i like to use both versions. I managed to downgrade the app to version2.1.14g and refresh rate switching now works again so is an issue in latest version. I don't know if its an issue with this device or ATV 14 but it officially releases this week so will effect other people.

Can you please reproduce that and then follow the instructions to send a log from the app?

Just sent now. Emby user Andrew Dymond.

Looks related to the new Android version and the problem is within the utility we're using to switch display modes.

If the standard app works for you, that's going to be your best bet for now.

I have downgraded to version 2.1.14g and that works fine.

We were required to update our target Android version so that is probably the reason.

Is this fix in the works or is the advice to downgrade to 2.1.14g? The Emby for Android app is too unstable at this time for daily use. The Android TV is still the gold standard for Emby apps.

Sorry, this is not likely to happen.  I looked at it and the changes required cascade into to many avenues.

Can we get the June 10th, 2024 build 2.1.14g posted so people can stay on it?

No, we're not going to try and support back-versions.  You may be in luck on this one issue as I may have found a way to make it happen.  However, this may not be the only Android 14 quirk and, eventually, things will probably fall out of spec in this app.

I've confirmed I can fix the refresh rate switching on the new Google box.  Fix will be in the next beta/release.

Thanks.
