Hi. We suggest Emby for android on all devices. Thanks.

So the Emby for Android TV app is dead, is that right?

Then please work on the Emby for Android app, because it's absolutely terrible on the Shield. Slow, clunky, sometimes there are sound problems... If that's supposed to be the benchmark: Good night.

Its working for me, but only on Beta.

 

[himisk71 4]

YEAH YEAH YEAH!! Thx, i didnt know that there exist a beta for the tv app. Now it works, good start for '26

Thank you!

That's now done via the server.

What version of Emby server are you running?
 

[OmniiOMEGA 13]

Oh what? Why’s that? I have no idea I’m on someone else’s server

[OmniiOMEGA 13]

Assuming it’s this? 4.9.3.0? Is that the latest too?

[OmniiOMEGA 13]

Hmm yes appears to be from here

but now I’m more confused? How is Emby client 2.1.29 here? It’s not even in the android tv play store? 2.1.23 from Dec 24 still showing there?

there’s no release notes for 2.1.29 either?

You are correct, 2.1.23g is the latest Google play store stable release, whereas 2.1.29a was the latest Amazon stable release. Maybe @CBerscan update the Latest Versions page to reflect that to avoid confusion.

You can use the Beta release notes to see changes from .23 to .29 and beyond.

It shouldn't matter what is listed here, as the Play Stores will give you the latest version, whether Stable of Beta.

Hopefully @ebrcan confirm the current version of Stable for Google and Amazon, as I am seeing 2.1.29 as the Stable version on the forums, but that may just apply to the Google release.

Then I will update.

Well it’s not 2.1.29 it’s still 2.1.23g?

Fair enough, although the date updated is incorrect, as 2.1.23 was released 7 December 2025.

In any case, you'll always get the latest version from the Play Store.

If you want to try the beta version, join the Beta chanel as stated earlier.

Everything released after 2.1.23 is listed here.

What’s weird still is YouTube trailers are still broken in 2.1.23 not until I updated to beta 2.1.44 or 2.1.29g it fixed it? Yet 2.1.28 YT trailers were fixed so why is 2.1.29g not on the play store to resolve this?

Because the Playstore for stable is no longer being updated as Emby transitions to their new Android app and they were told they can't update both at this time.  Which is why you need to either join the beta Playstore, or sideload if you want to remain current with ATV.

Otherwise, try the new app and run both.
