Cotignac 3 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago I am running Emby on a R_volution PlayerPro 8K Android device. The device has an excellent built-in media player (Dune) that handles Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and lip sync perfectly, but it cannot read external SRT subtitle files. I would like to use Emby for library browsing and navigation, and then hand off playback to the built-in Dune player. My questions: Can Emby on Android send a direct network URL (for example an SMB or HTTP path) to the video file, so that an external player can open it directly without going through Emby's own player? Is there an Emby API call or intent that can launch an external Android player with a specific file or stream URL? Has anyone successfully integrated Emby with the Dune player on R_volution or similar devices? The reason I am not using Emby's built-in player is lip sync issues. The reason I am not using R_volution's own R_video app is that it requires a connection to their own servers to access the library, which I consider an unacceptable dependency. Any suggestions are welcome.
