![]() ![]() In exactly what way? How could we make it better? Okay, well you specifically said that it wouldn't do a slide show with music so I wanted to clear that up. I have frozen my server, and will stay on Emby classic as long as possible, or until Emby Theater give the same level of integration as WMC with Emby Classic. but the remote integration is quite good (but not a real eye candy :-)) I have tried Emby Theater, and it is very good since the early days, but the music and photo sharing and games is still not there. I guess, it is simplisty and integration that keeps me on this platform. single click on the remote shuts the TV, AMP and puts the PC to sleep. once the game is on the screen, the wireless controller drives the game. pick up the remote and select to play a game of choice, without the need to touch anything else but the remote control. What i enjoy is a single device (WMC & Emby classic), that allows me to play movies & TV on 5.1 amp, play music in clever que system, allowing to build a playlist on the fly, and then start a home photos slide show while music playing in the background, and all of done with a simple remote control, without having to touch a keyboard or a mouse or a screen. Nvidia shield i hear is great for games but Music and photos is an issue. So, Android TV is great for Movies and TV, but lacks the music and home photo's ability. The real reason I am still on WMC and Emby Classic is because the new platform are not all rounders like a PC is. I have just over 30tb of content, between movies, music, TV, photos and videos and off course, games. I enjoyed reading your post, and I am certainly another one who still enjoys WMC and Emby Classic. Perhaps someone else may have the gamebrowser files but I seriously doubt it as the home theater guys and the Win 7 stalwarts are slowly dying out. Since you and I don't have the smarts to write our own cataloging and display program we have to roll with the developers and hope that they don't pull a Google on us and discontinue what we are relying on. To further add to this if you are into games why not consider the NVidea Shield, I will look for that device if they come up with a new model. ![]() This way I have one server that has the latest content and another server that can play the Terabytes content that I collected over the years but to be honest I use the QNAP with a Roku or Chromecast client far more then the EMC client with the TBs on two Unraid servers. Since we are depending on the developers and where they are taking their product I added a QNAP NAS and installed the latest server version, update it to the latest version regularly and use it for Live TV, Newest Content that I want to share with others and watch myself within a month. I run Throg's themes for the eye candy presentation and it will do all the home theater stuff I want, but that is just it limited to Music Videos, Movies, TV Shows and Documentaries and nothing else of the additional features that were available under Media Browser (Emby Classic). For me I have stopped updating the server after 4.0.10 for a Win 7 box. However, in the ever evolving media collection, cataloging and displaying you have to decide the point where you stop and say this will work for me for what I want to do and backup that configuration and since you no longer update it you are golden. I am running the EMC client on a Win 7 PC but I never had gamebrowser installed so I can't help you there. (currently I am doing this witin Windows Media Center using batch file, and the whole thing is driven by my microsoft remote control) ![]() if this is already done, then please point me to where i can get it. I am watching a movie, then I decided to watch 10 minutes of youtube, and i don't want to leave emby theater, so i just click within emby client (android, ios, etc) and have access to youtube app within emby. is there a way to launch YouTube from within emby client. ![]() does this code also contains gamesbrowser plugin? everyone else in my house is using either Android TV, smart TV or their own devices. i will rebuild my old machine for now, and i am the only one using it. That said, I think Emby Theater is good over all, but the last time I tried it, the music player had ways to match that of WMC, plus I could not get the GameBrowser to work on emby theater to launch games, but I am not sure it actually design to do.Īnyway. I love all the other platforms, and they are solid now. ![]()
