Teddy 100 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) I am thinking of buying Dune HD Max 4K and would like to know if the Android app would work as an Emby server client on Dune device? Thanks in advance Edited March 6, 2020 by Teddy
Luke 42077 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 HI, sorry I don't quite understand. Do you mean the Emby android app?
Teddy 100 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Yes. Since the Dune devices work with Android before buying it, I was wondering if anyone could know if I would work with the Dune. (Dune devices allows you to install app in the same way as in cell phones) Edited March 6, 2020 by Teddy
rechigo 364 Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Wouldn't the Android TV app would be the correct choice here over the regular Android app? (since this is a TV set-top box) Looking at the product page it appears it runs Android 7.1 which is sufficient for the Android TV app If for whatever reason the Emby app didn't work on it, you could also use Kodi paired with EmbyCon or Emby for Kodi
Teddy 100 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 Thank you very much, I will try what you say when you buy the device. But what amazes me is that no one has encountered this doubt when Dune devices are very popular.
Sammy 790 Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 You'd probably be better off with Nvidia ShieldTV or MiBox 4s. Why Dune? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk
Teddy 100 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 Because I have read that the benefits of the Dune HD Max 4K model are incredible and the people who have it are delighted.
maegibbons 1287 Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Its not a very popular unit and the reviews dont look that great on avforums of previous firmwares. AND they are not cheap. A shield would be a better bet IMHO. Krs Mark Sent from my SM-N976B using Tapatalk

I am interested in the Dune because it plays the ISO's, has HDR and plays 3D SBS or A / A on non-3D TVs, and I have read that it is one of the best firmwares that exist, in Europe (at least in Spain) they are very popular but expensive.

Well you could get the Dune and try Emby on it. If it fails to deliver emby wise you could get a Shield as well or a cheaper MI box which also works well. 4k Firestick can handle most Emby media.

Teddy 100 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 Could someone please tell me where there is repository to download the Android app to do the tests?
Luke 42077 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Could someone please tell me where there is repository to download the Android app to do the tests? If you mean the Emby android app: https://emby.media/download
Teddy 100 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 If you mean the Emby android app: https://emby.media/download No Luke. I mean the apk file to install it from an USB stick.
maegibbons 1287 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 The app android file.Hi You install the AndroidvTV app from the playstore like other apps. There is also a TV apk download from the beta release notes post in the Testing Forum Krs Mark Sent from my SM-N976B using Tapatalk 1
Teddy 100 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 Thanks a lot maegibbons, It said to install the application through USB because I think the Dune device will not offer me to install Emby but Plex.
Luke 42077 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Ok i thought you wanted the android mobile app, sorry. That apk is on the website.
maegibbons 1287 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Ok i thought you wanted the android mobile app, sorry. That apk is on the website.Well he may need to resort to that because looking at the box spec it is Android 7.1 rather than Android TV. Krs Mark Sent from my SM-N976B using Tapatalk

Teddy 100 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 maegibbons , I have finally returned the Dune because it has 2 disk bays that I would never use and I bought the Zidoo Z9S Mini PC. I am very happy with it because I have installed the Emby application that you told me from the Testing area and it works perfectly with Google Shared disks. I wanted a player like this to play the ISO's discs that does it perfectly from the native player that it carries, a pity that the Emby app does not play them so I have to exit the Emby app every time I want to play an ISO. It is a pity that Emby developers do not solve this. Thank you very much to everyone for your help.
pir8radio 1312 Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) still think you would like the shield better... The zidoo stuff looks neat too, have to check them out. Edited March 29, 2020 by pir8radio 1
