  Fluxby — a Netflix-style client for your own Emby server

  Hi everyone,

  I've been building Fluxby, a client for your own Emby server with a browsing experience that belongs on a television — and it's now
  ready for its first closed beta. I'm looking for testers.

  Fluxby provides no content of its own: you point it at an Emby server you already run, log in with your Emby account, and it gives you a   
  clean, remote-friendly way to browse and play everything on it — VOD and live TV.

  What it does

  *Home screen with a hero banner and rows: continue watching, recently added, what's on live right now, and your own libraries
  *Built for a d-pad — full remote navigation, not a touch UI moved onto a TV
  *Movies & series with cast, ratings and a season/episode picker
  *Player with subtitle & audio track selection, chapters, skip intro, auto-play next, and watch progress that syncs back to your other    
  Emby clients
  *Live TV with a full day-long EPG, category filters and instant channel switching
  *Search across films, series, channels and programmes at once
  *Multiple profiles with an optional PIN
  *Optional integrations: a Seerr/Jellyseerr instance for requesting titles, and an MDBList key for IMDb / Rotten Tomatoes / Metacritic /  
  Trakt / Letterboxd ratings

  Runs on Android TV (phones and tablets too).

  Requirements
  *Your own Emby server
  *Live TV additionally requires Emby Premiere on that server
  *An Android TV / phone / tablet, and a Google account to join the test

  It's a beta — honest caveats
  Browsing, playback, live TV, search and profiles all work. Still being verified on real hardware:
  *Passthrough audio (DTS/TrueHD) and HDR are unconfirmed on some devices
  *Bitmap subtitles (PGS/VOBSUB) haven't been tested against real content yet
   Feedback on exactly these things is hugely welcome.

  Want to test?
  The beta runs through Google Play closed testing. To join:
  *Send me a private message with the Google account e-mail you use on your TV/phone (please don't post it publicly here)
  *I'll add you and send back the opt-in link
  *Open the link with that same account, tap "Become a tester", and install Fluxby from the Play Store

  Happy to answer any questions in this thread. Thanks — looking forward to your feedback!
