Are you able to log into your network using a Roku Emby app remotely?

After recent updates, I noticed that the list of letters on the left side of the "Movies" screen is missing. This allowed me to jump down the alphabet to find the movies starting with the letter in question. Can we please have that feature returned? Thank you.

I have a some gripes with the Guide functionality on the Emby for Roku app (version 4.1.15): I can select the Tags in the guide ["Show Only channels with Tag(s)"], however I have to do it every time the Emby app is started on Roku. It would be ideal if the Tags would be remembered after an app re-start. I can select the Sort in the guide ["Sort by:"], however I have to do it every time the Emby app is started on Roku. It would be ideal if the Sort would be remembered after an app re-start. I can set the Sort in the Guide ["Sort by:"] only to a limited number of options. I would really like to have the same options that are available in a Web Browser. I'm specifically referring to the "Favorites, Then by..." options that are available in a Web Browser, but not on Roku. I'm hoping these are something that could be addressed in a future version of Emby for Roku. Thanks

Roku app is severely dated, its transcoding even when the setting of the server says not to do so. Mp3 @ 320kbps are transcoded down to 128kbps which isn't needed as Roku can play@ 320kbps without issue. Trancoding to and from and format has serious delays and dropout when streaming over the internet (lag time in the transcoder I believe). Natively supported codecs are being transcoded and do not need to be in Roku app, actually causes degradation of video and audio when its not needed. Video — H.264/AVC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV), on Roku 4 only: H.265/HEVC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV); VP9 (.MKV) Audio – AAC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV); MP3(.MP3, .MKV); WMA (.ASF, .WMA, .MKV), FLAC (.FLAC, .MKV), PCM (.WAV, .MKV, .MP4, .MOV), AC3/EAC3 (.MKV,.MP4. .MOV, .AC3), DTS (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV), ALAC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV, .M4A) These formats above do NOT need to be transcoded as they are natively supported. the reliability, speed and efficiency of the roku app need improvement as it seems even 15mbps movies drop quite often even though my upstream is 25mbps and the receiver over the net is getting 43mbps downstream. However streaming with Emby Theater to the same person and connection has no issues. Better handling of high bitrate encoded movies over the internet under Direct Play. Emby Server: Lastly, being able to select ciphers for HTTPS is important and improving stability of the server app as a whole has others had similar complaints of instability. BTW this is for the "Stable" of server and for the Roku app where it applies and is based on direct play.

I've been using the media browser for a little while now to be able to stream my movie collection from my pc to my Roku 3, it had been working flawlessly but now the app on the roku says it cannot connect to the server and to check to see if its running. i can still access the server from other devices such as my phone without issue. I have tried to restart the server from my pc, I have done a factory reset of my Roku 3 device and i have uninstalled and re installed the media browser software on my PC, nothing makes any difference though. If any can help with this i would appreciate it, thanks.
