    Support for ALL devices older than the new HD8 series has been removed, no response from the developer. My kids have HD6's (2 of them are kids editions) and they can no longer use emby.

    Update: 1/7/16

    I stumbled across my original review from almost two years ago. I originally rated this three stars, and at the time that was fair. At this point, it has been cleaned up significantly. It has new features, runs very smoothly, and is a quality app. I highly recommend!

    Original: 5/1/14
    I've used the server for several months, and this android client for a few weeks. I'm running Kitkat and downloaded the app on 5/1/14 (for version reference). The client crashes frequently, and I can rarely get a reliable stream going - even on the lowest settings. The developers for Mediabrowser are fantastic, and I have no doubt that this will be resolved. But for now, I would pass.

    Limited to local (192.xxx.xxx.xxx) network access only. Does not support remote access from external internet. For the sales price, it is worth having but not at normal price.

    This Emby for Android that works on Fire Stick TV is a slick app. But Emby has a very poor licensing approach. I paid a one time unlock fee for their Emby for Fire TV app, and they won't let me use this app instead, which is much richer in functionality. Really poor licensing approach Emby developers.

    Since the last update at the beginning of May 2014, I've been having major issues with the android app. The app will crash randomly and it will not work when I relaunch it. Also, there was an update in mid-May of the same year and now the app will not cast on my Chromecast. I've tried deleting the cache, all app data, and even uninstalling and re-installing the app but it doesn't seem to resolve the issue. It's really frustrating because I love the app, I love the server, I think it's a wonderful utility, but I wish it would go back to working the way it did when I first paid for it.

    The Mediabrowser Android Client in conjunction with the Mediabrowser Server is a great way to access server stored media via phone or tablet. This relatively early version works quite well if used carefully without a lot of stopping or starting a particular music file or movie. A bit of a warning: though not too overly complex, you should have a bit of system and networking knowledge to set this up. I'm looking forward to any new updates that come along.

    Hardly works. When EVER you log on it takes minutes to stop loading and let you make a selection. After you leave and come back later. screen is gray and controls no longer work. You have to take to long way around to app management and force stop the app. Every time.. Every time.. And they know and have know (for months) about this issue at Emby. Still no fix. LOL.. Switched to Kodi and Plex.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY way to view your media collections
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 25, 2013
    I have been a fan of Media Browser for many years and have followed this app through it's beta testing. The hard work the development team have put in to this app has really paid off & this app will allow you to totally control your own media collection in the most gorgeous way ever. The app is smooth and easy to use, with a lovely interface which displays posters, backgrounds and all the meta data you have for all your media. You can simply browse through your media, stream it to your Kindle Fire with ease, or even use it to remote control your other media clients such as on your Windows Media Centre PC or extender. Personally, I use it around the house to watch any of my videos on the Kindle Fire & to browse through my collection to select my next vid to watch on the MB client on my Xbox 360 (a WMC extender).

    Ever since I was shown Media Browser I cannot imagine any other way to view media collection & stream my media to my Kindle & other devices. There is simply no better way & nobody else will ever beat this app - unless the dev team at Media Browser come up with an improved version, but I seriously don't see how they could!

    Thanks to everyone who worked on this; you did an awesome job :)
