Try adding type=poster to the image node

Your post makes me want to look for an android tv os with latest version of android and install on a mini pc, something without an android emulator. Even half tempted to play around with this https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ just to see how close to an android tv os I can get it to look.

Here’s an example of an XML that contains only the <image> element, but the image is not displayed as either the poster or the backdrop. <programme start="20260903000000 +0000" stop="20260903013500 +0000" channel="OSNMoviesPremiere.ae@SD"><title lang="en">Black Bag</title><desc lang="en">When intelligence agent Kathryn Woodhouse is suspected of betraying the nation, her husband, also a legendary agent, faces the ultimate test of whether to be loyal to his marriage, or his country.</desc><date>20250101</date><category lang="en">Drama</category><category lang="en">Thriller</category><image>https://osn-artwork.anghcdn.co/program_landscape_tt_LIN-PR692804/2b4354db49a0a911bb32a48b12b88b5c.jpg</image></programme>

I was puzzled by this thread but now my Android devices finally updated to 3.5.55, and this new notification "connecting to server" is confusing and unneeded. @Luke could you lengthen the time before it pops up, for those of us who don't have big delays reaching our server?

Is anyone else frustrated with this UX issue? I am in a library and i want to delete a movie, i click the movie, then 3 clicks to get to the more menu, one click to enter the more menu, 5 clicks to get down to Delete, one click to get delete menu, down click to select delete, then click on delete, then click back to get to library. 14 clicks to delete a movie, this make emy unusable for any sort of library tidy or management. God forbid you want to delete a handful of videos, you'll drain the remote battery. Did no one even test using the app?

Any chance that 2.0.10 can include the fix that was part of 2.0.5 but was later undone by 2.0.6 regarding image cropping?

I was not sure what was going on for a while but now that I know it's not a big deal I'm ok with it popping up for a split second is fine.

I'm out of town right now so I can't get any logs right now. What I CAN say is that in my research it seems like there is an issue with the Google 4k streamer on some LG TVs. Might be related to problems syncing frame rates, hard to say for sure. I ended up plugging the streamer into an old Samsung TV and it works just fine there, so that leads me to conclude that LG and Google just don't mesh well sometimes.

Thank you Grim.

Ongoing discussion here:

On all devices when Emby first starts it now does this instead of the circle spinning, what gives? Clip.mp4

Well nobody has downloaded the log I posted, so I'm not sure what looking into it actually involves here.

I’ve been waiting for what feels like years for a good deal on some 8tb drives, saw a seagate external drive 16tb for £299 on Amazon a few weeks back and ordered two. Took the risk they could be opened up and installed in my NAS, so far so good but warranty might be tricky to deal with. The other alternative I was going to look into was refurbished SAS drives, you’ll need a controller of course but those drives are a lot cheaper.

Not sure if actor bio's should contain more than the movies that are on Emby. No actual bio - Yet ? I have just somehow managed to highlight Movies and TV shows thumbs at the same time. Probably a one off, but while I'm nitpicking... The alphapicker down the rhs. Its a bit to the left, not down the centre, and IMHO the font is a bit big compared to eg Sort and Filter. 10 foot interface ? Doesn't seem to show images I have for genres, for example in Movies. I have thumbs, I think 16:9 but maybe not. Maybe they're not the shape/size you're expecting.

Does this mean it should already show channels in the same order they are show under Dashboard > Live TV > Channels, as I think at the moment its showing channels by channel number (which you don't actually show...). It shows two channel 3 next to each other, for example, which I'm assuming is dvb-s channel 3 and iptv channel 3.

I found how the playback_reporting plugin is doing it. Thanks

OK I think it's only an issue in mobile layouts.

Thanks for the rapid reply. I imagine its late where you are, morning here. Personally, I always like more items in Home screen rows, I up them from 16 to 128 in Firefox, for example. As mentioned the Emby app has plenty and doesn't seem to choke. Back landing thing seems to just be when going to details of an item from the Home page, so pick a movie from Latest Movies, go to details, go back and it goes to play button for highlighted item. From a library, it goes back there as well not back to TV series thumb or whichever it was. I have tags for my dvb-s channels tagged as, surprisingly dvb-s. Suspect NextPVR does that and it feeds Emby. My iptv channels aren't tagged iptv. In the emby Apple TV app I can filter for dvb-s (and others, but not for iptv - no tags for that). So, my channels are listed in the Dashboard Live TV section as a block of dvb-s then all the iptv, maybe because I get the dvb-s from NectPVR and iptv from Emby.

Thanks! Any idea if it's on the road map?

v1.5.0.0 is up. Changed: Plugin settings UI is more user friendly. Webpage now remembers password for session. Fixed: Active user counts now works correctly. Libraries where strm files are placed now correctly gets instantly scanned so files shows up. WatchPartyForEmby.dll

Tbh, to me that looks completely out of this plugin's scope - you should evaluate some other community plugins, like EmbyIcons.

Can you give me a hint as to where a notification is that could be sent to a plugin for start and stop playing?

Glad you're in @arrbee99 and thanks for writing all of that down after five minutes. That's the useful window, before you get used to anything. In order. Latest and Continue Watching being short: those are my numbers, not your server's. I capped each row when I built the screen and never checked it against a real library. I'll measure before I move it — the row also groups episodes under their series, so I want to know which of the two is making it look thin. Back landing on the top item: not intended, it should return you to the card you left from. Where does it happen — home screen, inside a library, or both? It isn't the same fix in the two places, and focus behaviour never shows up in a test, only with the remote in your hand. (There is a long press, but holding Menu belongs to the system — it's what takes you out to the Apple TV home screen — so it isn't mine to reuse.) List versus Mosaic: you were right the first time. In the mosaic, Select opens the channel and Play plays it, the same split as a poster anywhere else in the app; in the list, Select just plays. The real problem is the one you didn't quite say: from the list there's no way to reach a channel's schedule at all. That goes together with the guide. Channels grouped by source: I want that too, and sorting is the easy half. The hard half is that a channel doesn't tell me where it came from — nothing the server sends says dvb-s or iptv. So before I promise anything: does your server's own order already put them in blocks? If it does, sorting by list order is that feature already. The guide is the next thing I'm building. No date from me. On the dashboard — don't bother, that one's mine. Live playback doesn't report a session yet, so there's nothing there to show you, and the app's own playback info screen doesn't fill in for channels either. You'd have gone looking for something I never sent. Both are on the list. Which makes the line you probably thought was an aside the most useful thing in your message: every live TV measurement I have came from an M3U tuner with five channels in it. You're the first person running this on a real one.

Looks to be cleared up! Thank you guys so much for your help as always.
