josch.hh 2 Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks for testing. Any findings in the logs i provided?
vlachmed 0 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 After long 3 hours of trying out the things mentioned here and searching the forums I can also report that EmbyServer doesn't work on my Philips Android TV 40PFS5501. When I open network, it shows up almost immediately (great) but when I try to browse it, I just get the loading circle animation stuck there forever (left it for around 40 min). I have no problem accessing any other DLNA server on the same TV. Windows media server, ALLMediaServer, serviio (or whatever the name was) are just few of the servers I have tried. The server is hosted on a windows 10 machine. The same machine hosted all the softwares used in the test. And if my memory serves me right, I tried Emby Plugin on FreeNAS and I think once it let me browse the contents. So you can also check that one too.
Luke 42077 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Yea there's something Philips-specific that we're going to have to adjust for, I am just not sure what it is yet. But since it is android tv, why not just install our android tv app? https://emby.media/emby-for-android-tv.html
vlachmed 0 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Because it is a trial version. And I don't like being forced to pay for an app especially because another feature is not working. If I like the app I will unlock it to show support. But so far the movie fast-forward/rewind feature is too slow and clunky, no subtitles options (increase size/decrease size, change color, etc.). You are on a good track, but please fix this issue with the Philips TVs.
Luke 42077 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 You showed support to philips by buying into their not so spec compliant upnp implementation
AgileHumor 123 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) @@Luke, Respectfully, Sharp TV's also don't work. It is not just Philips. It may be worthwhile to work around the vendors limitations. Works fine for Windows. Unsure what is wrong with Emby as my Android phone and Windows pick it up fine. Seems to be same symptoms as described below for Philips or Sharp: Android Cast: Works Windows Cast: Works Plex: Works Emby: Does Not Work Windows working screenshot of Sharp Aquos: Next post Perhaps Emby requires replies to SSDP broadcast which Philips may not do per this thread: http://www.supportforum.philips.com/en/showthread.php?10605-TV-not-visible-as-DLNA-DMR-(Digital-Media-Renderer)-impossible-to-push-audio-video Can Emby be a listener to unsolicited SSDP broadcasts? That may help for Philips or Sharp. Edited January 13, 2017 by AgileHumor
Luke 42077 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Yes we have already implemented support for the things discussed in that article. - finally, if I keep the DLNA client searching on the network for long time, it finally manage to find the TV, more precisely after 15 minutes (see screenshot below). This is because the TV broadcasts new SSDP NOTIFY messages every 15 minutes ! So my questions: - is it normal behaviour ? (I suppose not, but well ...). - if not, how can I force the TV to broadcast itself more regularly ? We do listen for Notify broadcasts.
josch.hh 2 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) You showed support to philips by buying into their not so spec compliant upnp implementation Lol, you are kidding. As all other guys here realized that emby is the ONLY upnp server not been able to work with phillips, i am wondering who is not compliant? As said, even the basic Intel upnp toolkit is working with philips, so please... Edited January 13, 2017 by josch.hh
Luke 42077 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 We will of course adjust to whatever the requirements of Philips are. I am simply just saying that they are unique to Philips. 1
josch.hh 2 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 I really don't think it is a Phillips or android problem. That facts point to emby which maybe needs to be reviewed in terms of the basic upnp implementation
AgileHumor 123 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 That facts point to emby which maybe needs to be reviewed in terms of the basic upnp implementation I agree. Remember, it's a SHARP AND PHILIPS problem only with Emby.

Luke 42077 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 With every other manufacturer it does. Obviously there is something philips or sharp specific that we need to adjust to, but it is not something that just comes for free via the generic support that we have for all the other devices.

Obviously there is something philips or sharp specific that we need to adjust to, but it is not something that just comes for free via the generic support that we have for all the other devices. Do you really think that a basic piece of software like the "Intel Upnp Toolkit" really has a specific adjustment for Phillips, Sharp or anything else? To answer my own question: NO, of course not! And the only logical consequence is that emby is more or less accidentally working with some client devices. You can not ignore this fact. Edited January 13, 2017 by josch.hh
Luke 42077 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 @@AgileHumor, I asked @@softworkz to test the dlna server from his 2014 sharp and he tested it with no problem found. It showed up on the Sharp, and he was able to play videos, music and photos. There were a couple sporadic video failures, which we'll easily handle via the creation of a custom profile for Sharp TV's. But the core function of the TV discovering the server and displaying content worked perfectly.
softworkz 5065 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 It's a European Sharp, though, and it's one of the last models that were produced by Sharp originally..

AgileHumor 123 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 @@Luke, DLNA works to the Sharp TV from Windows (screenshot in previous post), Android, and Plex. Emby has never shown the Sharp TV in the list. Do I need to create a DLNA profile before it will show? I thought it might just have playback issues without a profile...but discovery would show it.
Luke 42077 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 If it's not showing at all it's probably not profile related, but i can't say for sure without being able to personally test on a sharp.
