socalredneck 11 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Sorry, but I actually haven't been using the app lately. The USB method works, but having to pull it & replace it every time I turn on the tv's isn't a good solution. I've gone to Roku's for my tv's. 1
Blueeyiz702 223 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Im getting ready to buy either a 40 0r 48 in Samsung TV,do the current selection of samsung smart tv's support this app? and in USA,does anybody know where to get best price one,thanks.
FrostByte 5392 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 The current line-up of 2015 Samsung tvs and BD/HTS devices are almost all running the newer Tizen operating system and this app will not install or run on Tizen at this time. The 2015 models are indicated by the J in the model number. At this time the Emby app only runs on the SmartTV operating system. There is one user in this forum who has a 2015 European J6203 model TV which is still using the older SmartTV operating system and reports the app working fine (with a few oddities, but still working) If you want a 2015 and still run this app from the TV then you will need to read the description of the TV you are looking to purchase and make sure it says SmartTV. If instead it says Tizen, then unfortunately you won't be able to run the app from within the TV's hub There is another option. You could get a new J series Samsung TV running Tizen and then buy a H series BD player or Home Theater System with SmartTV to go along with it. Then just switch over to your BD/HTS and run the app from the hub there Unfortunately, until someone with a Tizen device who is willing to port the code over to the new operating system comes then your options are sort of limited 1

cmcg 876 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 ill just stick to searching for tv's with H model. Sounds like a good plan. 40-48" though? Go big my friend! 2
FrostByte 5392 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Ya, with the $$ you save getting last year's model you could get a larger TV now Most of the higher end H series TVs can use the 2015 Evolution Kit also, so when/if the Emby app is ported over to Tizen you can run that version if you want after buying the evo kit Edited October 27, 2015 by FrostByte
cmcg 876 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 So you can jump the fence to Tizen from H-Series. Interesting.
FrostByte 5392 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Yes, but only certain models. There is a list of models posted somewhere Edit: All upper level H models. They announced there will be no more evo kits for us unfortunately Edited October 27, 2015 by FrostByte
Blueeyiz702 223 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Sounds like a good plan. 40-48" though? Go big my friend! Any suggestions cmcg on a model number and size to use?
cmcg 876 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 H6400 or H6500 at 55" seems pretty popular. I imagine @@fc7 and @@SilentAssassin would recommend them.

Guest burcs Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Not working on my UN40H5203AF. The app installs, but when launched, I get the Embry loading screen for a minute or so... Then nothing, goes back to previously channel watched. UN40H5203AFXZAHave the same TV, same issue. I think it's just a slow TV and it's still downloading/installing when that happens. I just kept trying to launch the app and the third try was successful. Haven't updated firmware in a while, still on 1125. Subtitles work fine. Only issue I've seen so far is Favorite TV disappeared from Favorites menu. Re-added them and will post if they disappear again.
FrostByte 5392 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I noticed this today on my F series tv with the H series evolution kit. It took me 3 times to finally get in. My F series home theater system fired right up

Blueeyiz702 223 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) is there a certain one of the apps that you should use to install Emby on TV or is it just trial and error? this is model UN40H5203AFXZA,thanks Edited December 7, 2015 by blueeyiz7021

Try the Stable version and if all is OK, then stick with it. If something is not quite right, you could give the Beta version a go.

Try the Stable version and if all is OK, then stick with it. If something is not quite right, you could give the Beta version a go. Actually, we're pretty far through the current beta cycle and the current beta is quite stable and close to release. The only issues we're still chasing are the same in the stable release in any case. I go for the beta.
AgileHumor 123 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Is this working for the H series TV's? My neighbor bought a new UN60JU6500 and I haven't found out how to get it installed. My F series work great. Update - Just discovered it had Tizen OS which I guess is a no-go Edited December 13, 2015 by AgileHumor
cmcg 876 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Actually, the clue was in the name. We do support H-Series but your neighbour's TV is J-Series and as you correctly say, runs a different OS. U = (Not sure, I expect someone here knows). N = North America 60 = Screen size J = Model series U = Ultra HD 6500 = Model number Sorry that we don't have a Tizen app for you just yet. 1
fc7 123 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 H6400 or H6500 at 55" seems pretty popular. I imagine @@fc7 and @@SilentAssassin would recommend them. H6500 @ 55" is an awesome TV. I bought it a year ago, and I can't be more pleased.
Luke 42077 Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 For those in Canada can you please check the app store on your Samsung TV and let us know if the Emby app is available now? Thanks !
