PS4 & MacOS Theatre Applications

[Oracle 85]

Greetings!

 

Not sure how easy this would be, nor do I know if it something that is possible in the near future, but I recently purchased a PS4 (and by recent, I mean 2 hours ago) and would like to make this my main entertainment console, but the way to view Emby on the PS4 is extremely annoying, and rather too difficult for say my entire user base? Something needs to be done about this.

 

Same goes for MacOS.

Have you tried Emby Theater on your PS4?

There is no application on the PS Store to download, bud, so I'd imagine the way around this is the Playstation Web Browser? This is rather dumb, as it's not a "quick" way to navigate to the service.

[Luke 42078]

Actually the app works quite well, have you tried it?

I have tried the web browser application, just rather dumb way to have to navigate to Emby, when a product such as Plex has an app ready to download in the Playstation Store, where Emby does not.

Actually if you use our Emby Theater web app it works quite well and is optimized for the PS4. Did you try that?

 

Also did you read this?

Gotcha. Forget my post then. Sony seems to be the dickheads in the discussion.

[Luke 42078]

If it were easier we'd have an app already.

[Oracle 85]

I totally get it, brother. Curious about a future MacOS app, possibly? Not sure how likely.

[Luke 42078]

We have just released Theater for Linux so it is possible to port the same app.

Neat

It's something my wife was curious about.
