New Emby for Android 3.5.45 Released

[Luke 43004]

The actual connection speed to server is no different. He's reporting 30-40 seconds of a blank screen before he sees anything. That tells me we need to look at what happens before the UI loads and make sure we're not waiting on something to complete before showing the user interface.

Well you've seen the logs. 

Is there nothing in there you can see as to why it takes so long. 

Can you add more logging? 

The ATV app loads in seconds every time.

so once you see the emby logo, then it's fast?

I was not sure what was going on for a while but now that I know it's not a big deal I'm ok with it popping up for a split second is fine.

I was puzzled by this thread but now my Android devices finally updated to 3.5.55, and this new notification "connecting to server" is confusing and unneeded. @Luke could you lengthen the time before it pops up, for those of us who don't have big delays reaching our server?

I wouldn't say fast.

I'll time it later today for you.

Here you go @Lukea video screen capture of the Universal Android app loading, which took 35 seconds to get to the EMBY logo, another 3 seconds to get to the "Connecting to server" message and then another 12 seconds to get to the home screen, so a total of about 50 seconds in total.

Also in the video, is the launching of the ATV app, which took 12 seconds to get to the home screen. 

The log for the UA app loading is also attached. 

Any thoughts?

There has to be something wrong with your device or your network (DNS?) because even 12 seconds for the ATV app is way too long.

Have you tried to debloat your Shield?

Not sure why the ATV app took 12 seconds, as just tried it again and it was 3 or 4.

There's nothing on my Shield that shouldn't be. I have uninstalled everything I don't use. 

Hopefully @Lukecan marry up the log with the video and see what the issue is, but I've always had slow load times for the UA app, going back a couple of years now.

Debloating goes a lot further than just uninstalling some user apps, it also removes/disables some system apps. That said it shouldn't be necessary to do that, and I don't know how much it would actually help, but my device is very single purposed so I removed just about everything to keep it lean and using Projectivity launcher. Take a look at this, there's additional things suggested RE launchers but for the most part can just do the abd shell uninstall commands. https://florisse.nl/shield-debloat/

I saw the app icon in your video but when I saw the top bar with Home, Shop, etc isn't that the stock launcher?

I disabled ProjectIvy whilst I was using Twitch to do the screen record.
