Client: seek controls, Bazarr subtitle download and cast panel in the
player; MDBList ratings strip; episode and schedule detail pages; series
pace estimate; what's new panel; install-permission onboarding step;
synced per-profile preferences; Emby outage banner.
Gateway: rebuilt admin console (one fragment per page), preference
history and restore, merged Continue Watching, Emby health probe,
subtitle selection and Bazarr download, structured request logging with
per-request identity, and embedded build version.

The gateway decides whether a TV may keep running its current build.
Clients send X-Memby-Version on every request and ask GET /v1/update on
each launch; the verdict is none, optional or mandatory.
- internal/appupdate holds the decision as pure, tested logic: below
minimumVersion is mandatory, below latestVersion is optional.
- Admin page gains an App updates section — latest version, APK URL,
notes, and a "Require this update" toggle that sets the forced floor.
- Client shows a dismissable prompt for optional, and a full-screen
panel that swallows Back for mandatory. Instructions say what the
system installer will ask before it asks.
Two safeguards: a client that cannot report its version is never forced,
and the client ignores a verdict with no download URL, so a
half-configured policy cannot produce an unblockable screen with a dead
button. An unreachable gateway shows nothing.
The verdict is deliberately not part of /v1/home: that payload is cached
per user, while this answer depends on the requesting client's version.

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.
