Onmy Pixel 6a running the latest Android 13 beta 4, when playing Live TV or recorded TV using Direct playback, I'm seeing an issue where the colors are messed up as seen in the attached image. The video plays fine and the audio is fine, it's just the colors. When I manually tell the app to transcode by changing the quality setting, the problem goes away. It's only happening when using Direct play. This problem doesn't occur when using the Chrome browser, however I believe Chrome always forces the server to transcode in Android for live TV or recorded TV. I can grab some logs when I find them.

I will post server logs, but I still don't have a way to grab the app logs from the phone. I keep getting access denied to that directory. Is there a place to grab the logs from the app? Otherwise, I can try logcat?


Are you on Android 12 or 13? Google files changed on Android 13. I can get to the internal storage menu and then get into the filesystem, but most of the directories are inaccessible. If you are on Android 13, how are you getting into the system files with Google files?


any updates on this because I'm banging my head with Emby at the moment! I have a pixel 6 with android 13 and the same playback issue for over a month now. Anything I can help with to aid the repair? My samsung tab works fine so it must be specific to android 13 or pixel 6


I've given up with the Emby app on my Android 13 Pixel 6a. I just use Chrome for now. I don't think there are enough users on Android 13 or on the Pixel 6 series to justify looking into this issue. I can't seem to get the log files from the app (Android 13 locks down all application directories in the system partition).


I too had to give up on the Emby Android app for my Pixel 6 Pro. This odd color issue combined with the inability to play ATSC3 channels from my HDHR has made it unusable. I have moved to Channels DVR for now...


I have a similar issue with my Pixel 7 Pro (Android 13). Every time I play a video through the app, I get the weird discolored look. The only solutions I have found so far are either setting the In-App settings for video playback to a lower quality which fixes the color issue but increases buffering since it now needs to be transcoded further, or accessing the videos via a web browser. Please fix this.


I just ran the emby android client for the first time on my Pixel 7 Pro, and I also experienced the same issues. I was not using any beta, just the normal client and the Mac OS server. I did confirm that accessing the Emby server through the web browser worked fine. I'll try changing the resolution as swhiting did and see if that helps.


I am not about to wipe my phone to find out. Every app on my phone and every other function on the phone works except your Arlo app. This appears to be an "Arlo" specific problem that unless rectified, renders your service and my investment in your product useless to me.


I am having the same issue. I opened case #43830197 on 12/15. In all honesty , numerous customer support employees have reached out to me, and I have provided them a ton of information. Yet, in their questioning, we are looking everywhere but at their software which I indicated from the start appeared to be the issue.


Moving off beta program and reverting to last stable android version requires wiping the phone until beta is up to next stable level. Doubt many are going to be willing/able to do this. There are potential issues with restoring from backup doing this as well.


For personalized support specific to the Arlo products you own, access Support from within the Arlo iOS or Android App. Simply login to your Arlo App, go to Settings, Support, then select the Arlo product you would like support for.


After the massive overhaul of Android 12, Android 13 seems to be a smaller release focusing on various improvements and tablet features. A lot of Android 13 is building on the work from Android 12 and the tablet-focused mini-release, Android 12L. There are more Material You color options and more tweaks to the new notification media player. The tablet interface has a new app-drawer button for the taskbar and split-screen drag-and-drop support for notifications. You get more control over apps with a foreground app task manager and a new permission that requires apps to ask for notification access. Under the hood there is some serious virtualization power and support for Bluetooth LE Audio. There's even finally a standard QR Code reader now.


Android 13 solidified a while ago, and this latest release is just about bugfixes. Google notes that the Play Store is ready to accept your Android 13-compatible apps, and if you have a recent Pixel phone, you can enroll in the beta at android.com/beta.


As for the final release, Android 12's final beta came out in September, with a final source code release a month later in October. Official builds took a bit longer, as Google held them back for the Pixel 6 launch date. It's not known how the Android 13 release will be handled. Google's timeline, above, is always purposefully flexible about the final release.


Since March, Google has been maintaining two active channels of beta updates for its smartphone users. The Pixel Feature Drops are now part of the Quarterly Platform Release (QPR) branch, while the upcoming major Android revision has got its own track. In accordance with the new strategy, the company delivered Android 12 QPR3 Beta 2 and Android 13 Beta 1 in April. The current state of the Android beta program feels like a hot mess, as Google has now come up with a set of temporary restrictions for beta enrollment for the month of May.


Earlier today, Google published a short post to the /r/android_beta subreddit, detailing what Pixel owners opting in for the beta initiative can expect after the Android 12 May 2022 stable release. The post states that if you've already installed the May security patch on your Pixel device, you should be able to enroll in the beta program, but the beta OTA will be delayed. This is because both the latest available Android 12 QPR3 Beta 2 build and the Android 13 Beta 1 build are older than May's update. As a result, one must wipe their device to perform the transition.


Fortunately, the waiting period for the QPR branch is rather small. Android 12 QPR3 Beta 3 is "coming this week," according to Google. Those who want to switch to the Android 13 Beta branch need to wait a bit longer, though. There is no concrete timeline for the Beta 2 release ("coming soon" is the exact verbatim of Google). Moreover, even after installing the QPR3 Beta 3 build (once available), you will not immediately receive Android 13 Beta 1 and will have to wait until the arrival of the Beta 2 build.


Keep in mind that the restrictions are only applicable to the over-the-air beta update mechanism. If you are no stranger to manualflashing, you can easily switch between the beta update tracks on your own. However, it's worth mentioning that the flashing process completely wipes the target device, thus it is highly recommended that you back up your data before proceeding.
