LG app stopped playing items

[podonnell 53]

Hi,

Running Emby for LG 1.0.51

This week, pressing Play or Trailer on any of my items does not do anything. I can go into menus, favorite items, delete, etc.. but anything related trying to play is unresponsive. I've attempted on multiple users, and forgetting and re-entering server info. I also have a SHIELD device that is connected to the same TV, and that has no issues.

Any idea what might be happening, or how to remedy it?

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

It seems like there are no log entries for the attempted play. The play button itself is acting like it is calling nothing at all on the backend.

I can see where I reauthenticated to the server, but the only related line that seems related to playback after that is:

Just tried to recreate right at the end, long pressed on Starship Troopers and pressed play from that menu and it did not load anything.

LG TV is the device. Let me know if I can help with more info.

Thanks!

what if you just drill down to the detail screen and use the on-screen play button?
