horstepipe 422 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Can I somewhere download the new tizen emby app and install/test ? There is a new developer mode available: http://www.tizenexperts.com/2015/09/developer-wow-developer-mode-now-available-on-samsung-tizen-tvs/ this is from 2015, not 2016
horstepipe 422 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Why don't you just publish the file so we can install it with the SDK until it is released in Europe...? You don't have to give support for that method. 1
drschlaumeier 1 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 >this is from 2015, not 2016 Yes, sure from 2015 but its working on my Samsung JS8080 with Tizen. So, I would need tizen emby app to install on my samsung using the mentioned method.
Luke 42077 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Our update for 2016 models has been stuck in review for 3 weeks now unfortunately. Not much we can do other than wait. I have tried emailing them to prod them but it looks like they are overhauling their developer website and have put reviews on hold temporarily. The good news is that during this time we have been approved for worldwide release, the developer portal only lets us do one thing at a time so I can't request testing on European models until the current release is completed. 4
Luke 42077 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Yay, we are approved for 2016 devices, now the app is waiting for launch and hopefully Samsung will do that within the next 24 hours. This update will still have some playback issues, as soon as they've released it I will immediately submit another update, and this is going to be a great update that will allow the app to direct play pretty much everything. 4
drschlaumeier 1 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Hallo Luke, that sounds great! So the order is as following ??? : 1. request testing on European models 2. submit another update
Luke 42077 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 As soon as the current release is completed we will figure that out. Thanks.
drschlaumeier 1 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Many thanks for the clear answer :-)
Luke 42077 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 1.0.13 has launched. It's now in the store for users in the USA for 2015 and 2016 models. 3
ebr 16169 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Just FYI - it didn't appear for me in a search in the apps section but, if you go into the "Video" category and scroll over, it is there . 1
Lyfesaver 133 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Still getting a black screen anytime I play anything, and I have tried all the tips and tricks from the forum.

As Luke mentioned earlier - another update after this one is required to improve that. Thanks for your patience while we deal with the glacial movement of these stores. 1

MSattler 390 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 1.0.13 has launched. It's now in the store for users in the USA for 2015 and 2016 models. Playing well on my KS8000. Direct Streaming because of the audio, but all in all works really well so far. What are the audio limitations via the optical output? Good job on this!

MSattler 390 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Is it possible to have an option to have the logon screen displayed on launch?
Luke 42077 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 If you just uncheck remember me then you'll have to login the next time. is that what you mean?
MSattler 390 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 If you just uncheck remember me then you'll have to login the next time. is that what you mean? Yeah. I must of missed the checkbox. Will try that.
Luke 42077 Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Just for an update, we are currently going through the process to get released worldwide. As soon as that is finished we'll submit a really nice update that will improve the app to direct play just about everything you throw at it. 3
drschlaumeier 1 Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) GREAT! AWESOME! You are heros! Finally! Cannot wait anymore :-) After receiving this I will definitely donate! Edited October 1, 2016 by drschlaumeier
rigo8582 16 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 I got it working on my KS8000. Question about audio I have files that are 5.1 AC3 or AAC many of them will only do Stereo PCM. I do have some files that will push Dolby Digital 5.1. The only difference I can see is that the bitrates are little different. I'm also using ARC with my AVR, would using toslink be a better option? Is it possible to add a delete media option in this app?
SamES 1057 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Try setting the options in the TV setting menu under Sound->Expert Settings Set HDMI Audio format to bitstream, and Audio Format to Dolby or DTS to suit the source, otherwise this TV only appears to output PCM via ARC. I find that if I set it to DTS for a DTS track, then Dolby outputs to PCM. If I then select Dolby for 5.1 playback, then DTS tracks output as PCM. I haven't found a way for this TV to auto select DTS or Dolby based on the format which is a bit painful to say the least. The other thing to be aware of is that the current store version of this app is most likely transcoding audio on all formats as it uses the HTML5 video player, so you really may only be getting 2 channel audio. Check your server to see if it is transcoding during playback. The next release to the store uses the Samsung native avplayer and pretty much plays every format as Direct Play without transcoding. You should find this to be much better. 1
ebr 16169 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Yeah, I had similar issues using the return channel with my new TV. It would not actually bitstream through from my Shield. So I went back to hooking the Shield directly to the AVR and then out to the TV.

You should find this to be much better. I have my output as bitstream. I think the files that will output DD5.1 are in .mp4. I think the ones that won't do it are .mkv now that I think of it. I'll check it when I get home and see if it thats the deal.
