Description

This app is a wrapper for the Emby web client. Embedded within the Emby server is a full-featured HTML5 client that will allow you to access your library. This app allows you to simply connect to the web client locally or from anywhere with internet access (proper router configuration will be required). Together with a rich interface for your library, the web client also contains a full-featured metadata editor that allows you to take complete control of the data associated with your items. NOTE: You will need Emby installed in order to use this app. Go to http://emby.media for information and install instructions.

Doesn't work. I click it and get a blank white screen. (Vivaldi Chromium Browser)

All it does is open a window with a link to my server which opens a web page. This is not an app. I have no idea what it is.

Is nothing but a wrapper for the webpage. Which would be fine, except it renders it with an ugly white border around it.

Not sure what the purpose of this app is. Like Andrew, I was hoping for for some sort of key mapping but no such luck. This app is just pulling the website over while removing the ability to scale to the window and no fullscreen. I like Emby but do not like this app.

No fullscreen video and no keyboard interaction support. Total waste of time. Why cant there be similar to android app for chrome.

No real function over the normal web browser. Very blocky playback when using transcode and seeking.

Not quite as good as just going to the website. :-( The display will do neither full screen, nor shrink to smaller sizes. The website does both. I was hoping it would have mappings for the play/pause key, but no.

How do I switch fullscreen mode on and off? ESC turns it off. The fullscreen button on videos doesn't turn it back on. Is restarting the app the only way to turn it back on?

If it would do full screen, I'd give it 5 stars.

It's alright. Nothing special, but a faster way to get to Media Browser on my Chromebook. Nothing will go full-screen, though.
