I think Emby may have hijacked my Shield?

I tried to play a movie in a streaming app, but when I hit play it started up “Maroon” by Taylor Swift. Pressing play and pause causes the streaming app's play/pause icon to flash, but only plays and pauses the music. Exiting to the Android TV home screen shows no sign anything is playing. It's running through the entire Midnights album. It's gone way too long without an ad for it to be Spotify, and the only other source I can think of would be Emby. The Emby app doesn't show anything playing, but then neither does the Shield's home screen so that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I just have no idea what's going on here.

Shutting down your server would be an easy way to tell but what does the Emby dashboard show?  Log activity?

I let it play out until the end of the album, because I was curious as to what would happen. It just stopped. Didn't think to check the dashboard.

The log...does appear to show playback. I booted the theater up at 17:06, and the searches for “sitting duck” and “la synd” are me looking up the movie I was about to watch to see what the correct aspect ratio was in order to put my projector on the correct preset; I would have attempted to start the movie in the streaming app within a minute or two of those searches.
