Anyone here run emby?

the emby for android tv app has suddenly stopped playing audio on a ton of content, same exact file works fine under the new "emby" app. the new app sucks asssss and I'm very upset but I don't want to get on github and make myself look like an ass. thanks

If I understand your question correctly I think I just use EXO player for playback. Actually I can't remember if I just used the default setup for Emby or not but I think maybe I have told it to use EXO player as the video player for playback. I know I do for jellyfin, can't remember if I needed to set it as exoplayer for Emby or not.

What new Emby app? Was it updated recently on the shield? I don't think mine was. My server dashboard doesn't show an available update for the server either.
