Hi guys.

I stream emby movies on my smartTV and i control it from my emby app.
I have a Lenovo Moto g5+ and the app crashes if i play start/pause button from the lock screen https://i.ibb.co/MhrLsyB/Screenshot-20190707-003935.png (the app becomes unresponsive and the movies is being reproduced at an incredibly high speed).
The only way to fix it is to restart the application.

Hi there, what version of the app, and what version of android does this run?

Emby app: 3.0.48

Android 8.1.0

Would you mind trying the open beta version and see if it happens there:

I've tried the beta app but is worse: the lock screen bar still doesn't work and also the app is full of bugs.

What other issue did you have?

 

Does this crash only happen on video playback?

Yes, all bugs appears when i stream a movie on my smart TV: another bug that i found is that if i switch audio language or subtitles language while the movie is being played the movie crashes or the subtitles go out of sync.

Have you tried the latest update to the app?

yes i've tried it, now things have changed: the bug is still here but his behavior is different.

The app does not crash anymore, which is a great improvement, but if i click any button on the lock screen bar (pause/play, next episode) it does not do anything until i unlock the screen: when i unlock the screen the command previously given is executed.
In short words: if i click a button on the screen lock bar, the command is not executed instantly but only in the moment when i unlock the screen.
