Major Update to our Android TV/Fire TV App - rolling out now

The update for the Android TV and Fire TV apps rolling out now is a biggie. Lots of improvements in design, consistency and features so let's get right to it...

 

New Home Screen

The home screen is now much more consistent with the rest of the app and makes it much easier to get to features like search, settings, and switching between users as these are now at the top instead of all the way on the last row.

Also, there is a new option in Display Settings called "Enhanced Home Screen". This is actually the old "Show Info Panel" option re-named because it now transforms the home screen into the same interface you've had in the library views - where you can easily see all the details for the selected item without having to navigate into its detail page.

Global Favorites

 

Long requested and finally available with this home screen design - a global favorites view for all your favorite items across all your libraries.

New Audio Player Design

 

The audio player interface has been totally re-vamped to be just like the new improvements on the other platforms. Bigger, simpler, more elegant.

More Filtering in Grid Views

 

The Movie and TV Show grid views now offer much more filtering capability. The quick toggles for favorite and unwatched are still there but you can also bring up a filter dialog with more of the options you are accustomed to in the web app (and more to come in later releases).

Notice - you can also select multiple values from each of the filter categories.

 

 

 

Edit/Download Subtitles

 

Just sat down to watch something and realize it doesn't have the subs you need? Now edit, search for and download subtitles right from your couch (requires proper setup of Subtitle Downloaders).

Sorry for the delay guys.  Both stores are having issues delivering the update but we hope to have this resolved soon.

will this new version have the ability to store login for multiple emby servers? To do autologin like the iOS app does when connecting to multiple servers.

Update... I found one small issue with the update on my FireTV cube. Sometimes when I delete a recording it does not get removed from the recording list. If I go to another menu item and then go back to the recordings then the one I deleted is gone. Basically, sometimes the recordings don't refresh when an item is deleted but sometimes it does refresh. I will try and see if there is a pattern to this.
