hello there, in the past i was a plex user, but since i am an emby premiere user, i wish also there is an emby ps5 app.

i remember that with plex even on ps4pro , 4k direct play files was a deep pain of buffering around 100 mb/s

when he was talking high bitrate, i think he wanted to say the same bitrates used on physical blurays

even plex has a lot of buffering issues on playstation 5 now, even at lower bitrates.

My wierd question is how plex gain the access to develop the app for ps4 and ps5? 🤔 It's about money, or privileges, or something? 

 

Emby needs to have a zoom call witj sony entertainment store to know how and what they need to do to develop ps4 and ps5 apps with native player so we can watch 4K HDR10 without issue (Trans code on it)

@Luke have you got an idea about when an emby app will be available for ps5.

For exemple plex exists for a long time now on playstation. is it expensive to get a place in playstation network to put there an emby app ?

The issue isn't just cost its also getting accepted by Sony. They are picking and choosing selectively who they approve for app development. But we can try applying again.

according to plex users. playstation 5, as playstation 4, is struggling on 4k hevc display with bitrates higher than 15 mb/s, seems that sony is limiting access to all powers.

only physical bluray 4k discs are going well. plex users for their 4k hevc files are mad. only very low bitrates files can be displayed without issues.

it is always buffering, like ps5 were limited on cpu to display high bitrate cpu. it is very funny, it is less funny for playstation 5 users, to be obliged to display 1080p.

Even a cheap raspberry pi is better to play hevc content at full bitrates 100MB/S (or more) than a playstation 5, despire the playstation 5 is more powerfull, on the paper.

practice is always better than theory.

 

it is like with samsung tvs with the emby app, in theory the emby devs have the best approach to display subtitles, but in practice, all samsung tvs do not like the emby team approach to display subtitles, in direct stream mode.

the practice always wins over theory :)

But why they are crazy power hungry.

You are better of using a cheap android box.

How expensive is it to apply?  How often can you apply?  If there is no huge cost in application beyond time spent filling it out and sending it in....  Basically I am asking if this is at all a priority.  Like the thread makes it seem like you applied once and it went nowhere and then maybe you applied a second time.  I could be way off and I don't mean to be rude, I am just hoping you guys are taking it that seriously.  It is a major let down for plex to be better in this regard.

 

Is there anything we can do in the community to help?  Should we gather signatures and petition Sony.  Who would be the best places to try and advocate for you guys?  I assume there is something like that that we could do.  Please help us help you help us :P.  Some kind of petition/letter and social media campaign would probably be helpful that way sony has customers saying we want this and all you have to do is approve the emby folks.

 

Anyway.

We already know that these consoles are garbage when it comes to media playback, stop requesting the devs to do things that will make your experience garbage. There is NOTHING the community can do to help. Use your game consoles for what they were intended for, gaming. 

As for money wise, Plex has over 100 paid employees and tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars to play with. Emby will never be able to compete with that amount of financial backing. Face reality people and stop asking for the devs to move heaven and earth to appease your laziness.

We expect the same because Emby charges the same. If Emby was free we wouldn't be complaining.

I mean you are not wrong in that statement... That said it's also somewhat Sony's fault.  In addition to that you could always go pay for Plex instead and stop using emby... I for one prefer emby even without a PS5 app.

We work very hard on Emby and we thank you for your support.
