Search Yields No Results Found

[Radical924 24]

Hello,

 

I recently decided to install the Emby Android app instead of the Android TV app to get more features on my Android Box. Well for some reason the search feature doesn't work. It pulls up the keyboard on the top but if you search for anything even with 1 letter it says no results found. It also doesn't have any search suggestions like on a phone. Any ideas? I've updated the app, checked permissions, and cleared cache. I am using a Buzz TV 5 Classic Android Box.

I can reproduce this somewhat consistently on the latest emby prod build. The scenario is a bit specific. Has to be a full emby client, in my case emby for android. User must NOT have access to all library paths, only a subset. With this scenario, zero results. Enable access to all paths, and search results return.

My user has access to all library paths and the search does not work on multiple users. It works fine on my computer and phone app but not the Emby for Android app installed on my Android box. Super annoying and weird.

I rolled forward to beta and it works now. But note, if you don't backup your db, you can't roll back.

Problem Solved. I signed up for the Beta and it fixed it.
