Are you an Emby user who just bought a Hisense TV? Then, you can easily access your favorite media content you added to this media server without wasting time transferring them to TV and the storage it takes. Because the app is available on the majority of the Hisense TV models that run the Android, Google, Roku & Fire OS. Even on the remaining models with the VIDAA & Xumo OS, you can cast the audio, video, or photos stored on the Emby server from the mobile phone.
Going through this guide will help you learn about the different ways I have mentioned above to access the Emby app on Hisense TVs.
What Should Be Done?
- Connect your Hisense TV to WIFI if it is an Emby-compatible model for the app installation and usage.
- If you are a Hisense VIDAA/Xumo TV user, install the Emby app on your mobile phone to cast your media content on the TV.
- Before casting from the Emby mobile app, enable the Screen mirroring option (for Android mobile) & AirPlay on Hisense TV (for iPhone).
- Create an Emby Connect account to get single credentials to sign in to any Emby server without the need to remember its URL/Port. Likewise, subscribe to Emby Premiere on its official webpage if you would like to claim Emby’s exclusive features.
