eeeeeesy 31 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Please can you add the ability to keep watching the video while you back out to the tv guide? like have the video minimize so you can keep scrolling through the tv guide like a real tv and still see the movie or show playing in a window at the top right of the screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 On which device ? You can already do that on some, such as Shield / Fire TV, Emby Theater and in a browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrbee99 1559 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Am definitely not an expert. Maybe its something to do with your device, or (more likely ?) the exact version of Emby that you have. Also, the guide should be available when you're playing TV (think you press the up arrow on a Shield, not sure about your device) and when you're playing movies or TV series (there's an icon when you look at the playing controls that looks like three horizontal lines).

ebr 14910 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Hi. The Android TV app (the one in the store) will produce a larger guide during playback - especially if you put it into "compact" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkss12 295 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) You are running pure Android and Emby for Android on your King. If you try Emby for Android TV, you will see a much bigger guide. Here is are screen captures of what the different guides look like.. Also, Slimbox has a modded ROM for your device that supports automatic framerate AND resolution switching, it also passes through all the HD audio codecs. There is both the pure Android and the ATV version of Android. https://slimboxtv.ru/glavnaya/beelink-gt-king/ The screen capture does NOT show the running video behind the guide, but it is there.

eeeeeesy 31 Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 i found it. i guess it does work. but its to slow to execute the guide over the video. i have to press down then click the guide icon. that 2 buttons we have to press for the guide to come up. plus half of the video is covered by the guide.

clarkss12 295 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 You can always use Emby for Kodi, with different Kodi skins to give you exactly what you want, for your guide data that does not cover up the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
