Emby app for Vizio TVs


Recommended Posts

Not sure where to post this request, but I am posing here anyway..

I purchased a Vizio TV ( P65Q9-H1) a couple of months ago, and now have been testing it.  So far, I am quite impressed with it.

It would be great is Emby was able to add it's client app to their OS.  They use their own OS, so not sure if it is possible.  Plex does have an app on their OS, but it did have issues with some of the media playback.

Yup, more info here:

If Vizio would allow the Emby app, I could get rid of ALL my Android boxes.............. 

I have ALWAYS used these TV's, including the 4k "smart" TV's as monitors, never as a TV ( a TV has rabbit ears).  I replaced my 65" Sammy with this P65Q9-H1 about a month or two ago, and as usual, I connected all my devices to it and used it as a monitor only (only weird people actually have rabbit ears connected to their smart TVs) . 

 Anyway, three or four days ago, I started tinkering with it to see what it can do, I was blown away.  Besides the picture being fantastic, it has automatic frame rate switching on ALL of the apps that I tested.  It was fast and not sluggish at all, but the main thing that made me a believer was that it passed through ALL the audio codecs that I tested, amazing.  Of course it supports Dolby Vision, HDR 10, HDR 10+ and HLG and has HDMI 2.1.

The live TV function on this TV is almost none existent, no guide or station information at all........  Do they still print the TV guide in the local news papers???

And the remote is quite usable and comfortable to use.......

If it had the Emby app, it would almost be perfect...........

Here is my thoughts on this TV

I think they look for established companies that will pay to be on their platform or share ad revenue with them.

We have submitted to this multiple times over the years and haven't heard back. We can try again though.

Please try submitting it again or another route to contact someone to get this done. I have the newest Vizio TV and I just purchased Emby Premiere thinking it was a good idea to jump from Plex. I can't use my server and no one talked about that anywhere before I purchased this thing. I have never used Emby but this is a bad first impression.

hi, we will try again. We do periodically. It's important to understand though that they don't have an open app store that any developer can submit. 

You have to be a Vizio streaming partner, and in order to become that, you need to be able to generate revenue for Vizio. Plex has it's ad-supported content which gives them a way of doing that, whereas we are your personal media server.

Ok, I see. I ordered an Amazon Firestick because I read that it does support Emby. So far I do like the platform for the most part. I don't like that there aren't options to sort by duplicate movies/TV shows or to search specifically by an actor and to see their list of movies like Plex does. Those two integrations would probably help a lot. It is a very useful tool and a great transcoding server platform, so thank y'all for the work. Just trying to give feedback since I feel invested now. Haha.

Bump vizio smart TVs are selling more and more. Need to compile the emby get it approved on Vizio and let it grow with Vizio.

If Vizio falls in the Future then discontinue.

Looks like we have to order more Roku devices. Cheep to get by. Would much rather just pay a fee to emby to get it done. Wink bump.
