Samsung App crashes without internet

[labem 0]

I have a my emby-server and my Samsung tv on the same network.

Due to recent events, i decided to cut internet access for my TV (disabled WAN-Access on the router for the MAC of the Samsung-TV).

The TV doesn't load any ads anymore, streaming from the emby-server works. So everything is looking good.

Except: The Emby-App crashes every few minutes. It doesn't matter  which content i play, it freezes for a while, then crashes, then i can start emby-app again and it works, until it freezes again a few minutes later.

I tried to allow internet access and it worked again without issues. However, i'd like to keep my tv blocked. Can something be done about it?

Thank you

Emby-Server: Version 4.10.0.40
TV-Model: GQ65QN93
TV-Firmware: T-NKM2DEUC-2301.1
Emby-Client: Emby for Samsung 2.2.8 - reported as the newest available version
License: Lifetime emby premiere

HI, are you able to try installing the latest version over USB ?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. 

The latest version (over USB) isn't crashing anymore - all good.

It turns out my TV is a 2021 model, right at the 5 year update cutoff. Is there any chance the store version will get one last update this year?

Hi, we should be able to get it updated, and for now at least, we can continue to update it. So it won't be one last update. Samsung just takes longer for the older models.
