Playing LiveTV on AndroidTV /Sessions/{Id}/Playing

[cyben76 1]

Hi,

I'm new, so be kind. Playing around with the API, when I used `/Sessions/{Id}/Playing`, it works, and it plays the live channel on my mobile. But when I do the same on AndroidTV nothing happens. Playing movies has no issues, only LiveTV channels. What am I doing wrong?

Hi.  Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares?

Thanks.
