Android TV client for Emby (Kotlin, Compose for TV) and the Memby gateway
(Go, Postgres, Redis) that fronts it.
Client:
- Setup, profiles, home rows, Media3 playback, system screensaver (Dream)
- Backend chosen at build time: gateway when memby.gatewayUrl is set,
otherwise direct to Emby. Both paths stay working.
- Server-composed home rows, rendered verbatim so new row types ship
without an app release
- Full-screen animated maintenance state, row engagement telemetry
Gateway:
- One request per TV screen; auth, caching, search and row shaping
- Library import from Emby into Postgres (manual, then hourly incremental)
- Recommendations from viewing history (recency-weighted genre affinity)
- Admin page for imports, an offline switch, and per-row analytics
- Video always direct-plays from Emby; only metadata passes through
Identity is com.ponzischeme89.memby throughout, replacing
com.mattcohen.embyclientsname. A changed applicationId installs as a new
app: TVs need a fresh sign-in and the old package uninstalled.
