EDIT To clear things up: The title of my post is the feature request itself, while the bulleted content is one proposed solution that I’ve come up with to achieve it. It doesn’t have to be “solved” that way. Seeing as how many Emby users value customization, a different proposition could be the following. Allow users to chose navigation styles on all clients by giving the option to utilize a navigation drawer (like the web app already has). The point of this request is to accomplish exactly what the title says because, at the moment, different clients offer exclusive, different options that can lead to discrepancies described later in the thread. END OF EDIT ————————————————————— In order to streamline, modernize, and overall enhance library navigation through all of the clients, I propose the following changes: Completely remove the "My Media" and "My Media (small)" options from the Home Screen personalization. Utilize the navigation drawer approach (as seen in the web app) to display all of the library links. Examples of apps and services that utilize this approach on TV clients: All of these services offer an easy-to-use navigation menu for library links on the left-hand side of the screen. On the contrary, Emby's Android TV, Roku, etc apps lack this menu and rely exclusively on the users having "My Media" somewhere on their customized homescreen. As for mobile devices: In the Emby iOS app, there are multiple ways of getting to the same "Settings" menu; selecting the icon in the bottom-right or the profile picture in the top-right. As both of these icons are always on the screen at the same time, one of them is undeniably wasted space. Changing the bottom-right "Settings" icon to "Libraries" would replace the no-longer present "My Media" sections. This icon would slide up a small submenu of all libraries, or even a full-page list that blurs the background. Quick mockup: While customization - including the Home Screen section settings - is usually welcomed and praised, streamlining this particular aspect of the server across all clients should prove to be cleaner and more intuitive.

Hi guys, Just started using this app and noticed that there's a sidebar on the android app but the side menu and the side menu icon seems to be missing on all iDevice apps. Is this an issue on our side? Thanks, Dan

Back in the day, I had an ATI TV tuner that conveniently integrated TV with a sidebar in Internet Explorer. It was the most fantastic thing, to browse the web with a TV display inside the browser. To this day, I have not seen another attempt to accomplish something so multimedia feature rich. I thought I'd put a feature request in with the Media Browser crew, hoping you can deliver on such a fantastic way of browsing the web. I mocked up a Photoshop pic illustrating what I'm referring to. Hope this looks like something worthwhile. Thanks for the development of Media Browser, I'm using it with my Ceton tuner and it works so brilliantly!
