Status of Apple Emby App

Are we ever going to see the Apple app get up to par with the android app?

HI, yes we are working on getting it caught up.

I have an Apple TV sitting in storage, because quite frankly the Emby app on Apple TV isn't very functional.

One main feature I need for my TV work flow, is to be able to bring up the guide while watching TV like we do with the Android version.

Lastly, trailers and theming are the next big things.

Luke, I know your list is tall, but would it be safe to say keep my Apple TV in storage for a little while longer because these features won't be available anytime soon?

HI, the app does already support trailers.

This must of arrived in the last year or so?

How about pulling up the guide while watching TV?

Yes, and the guide is not yet available during playback but is planned for an upcoming update. Thanks.

Just tested out the Apple TV app. 
 

Can’t scrub through and see previews… can’t customize what you see on the Home Screen or at least respect your user settings.

This one I'm surprised hasn't been added yet, pretty much the last platform where Emby does not have this feature.

This should follow the same home screen layout as on other devices, it's just missing the customization part directly on the TV. You can still change the home screen layout on your phone and it should also be reflected on the TV. Is that not the case?

Correct. I don’t show certain albums on the Home Screen which reflects on my iPhone and android devices. Not Apple TV.

Hi, please go over a specific example as home screen options are already supported. Thanks.
