Android TV app ignores remote playback commands / ComSkipper cannot seek

[Deihmos 179]

I'm seeing an issue with the Emby for Android TV app 2.1.54g on an NVIDIA Shield. I also tried 2.1.55g.

ComSkipper detects commercials correctly, but the Android TV app does not perform the seek. The same plugin works with the regular Emby for Android app on the same Shield.

Does this work for anyone?

This is all i got from debug logs.

Debug Com Skipper: Playback Session = 5479f980a63349eb37f3db676a2dc027
Debug Com Skipper: EDL file ...Inside Politics With Manu Raju 2026_09_13_08_00_00.edl found.

I also tested Emby's remote-control API manually against the same Android TV session.

A Seek command returns HTTP 204:

Server: Emby 4.10.0.40
Android TV app: 2.1.54g
ComSkipper: 2.1.1.1
Device: NVIDIA Shield / Android 11

Did a test with a new install and it worked so something is wrong with the setup. May need to reinstall.  

Deleting the authentication.db fixed it.
