Emby for Android 3.2.75 Released: Mini Sidebar & New OSD Features 

 Requires: Emby Server 4.7 or later 

Emby for Android Version Changes:
 • New brightness control in video OSD
 • New lock screen feature in video OSD
 • New mini sidebar docking option
 • Voice input support on search screen
 • Various video playback fixes

 

New brightness control in video OSD

 

One of the new features added to Emby for Android is the ability to adjust the brightness of the video being watched. This new feature is easy to use. Just bring up the OSD and the brightness feature is all the way to the right as highlighted in the following picture. All you need to do is touch and slide the control up or down to brighten or darken the video.

New lock screen feature in video OSD

 

Tired of accidentally touching the screen and having the video jump to a new scene or doing something you didn't intend?  The new lock screen will put an end to this when-ever you choose to use it.  Simple click the lock button highlighted in yellow in the picture below to activate this.

Any screen touches from this point on during the video will briefly bring up the following screen but do nothing else.  In order to de-active this feature you would click the lock icon shown on the picture below, then click the confirm after that.  This new feature is straight forward and very easy to use.

New mini sidebar docking option

 

One of the coolest features in this new release is the mini sidebar docking option. In order to access this, click the highlighted icon shown in the picture below.

Now, click the following icon one-time.

You will now have the mini sidebar open as shown below.

The mini sidebar is scrollable so if you have more libraries then would fit on screen you can simply scroll this menu up or down to gain access to all libraries on your system.

Voice input support on search screen

 

Another great feature added to Emby for Android is the ability to use voice search.  You can use voice search anywhere you see the microphone icon shown highlighted in the picture below. All you have to do is click the microphone button and then speak your search term.

I have the same issue on my s22 ultra. This latest update also locks brightness system wide, so I am unable to change the brightness at all while watching, not even through system brightness slider.

 

Hope it's fixed soon.

I can confirm that the brightness slider is missing in S22 Ultra and can't modify it through system slider.

And, besides this, the icon for the mini sidebar is also missing! (the one highlighted with the red arrow).

Hi,

Have you tried using the brightness adjustment in the OSD?

1. there's no brightness adjustment in the OSD. (1 on attachments). If that's what you mean.

2. if I try to adjust it through system slider I got an "error". (2 & 3).

3. there's no icon for the mini sidebar (4 & 5).

Except that all the (new) features announced are ok and working. 

All of the above on a S22 Ultra.

As I said before, tried them on an Android 9 tablet and it's all good.
