eeeeeesy 31 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 please caan you add a timer to automaically change the channel when a movie or show starts on later in the futre on the EPG. says its 2pm and total recall comes on at 5:03pm, i want to be able to click on total recall and activate the timer. so if i forget that total recal is coming on a 5:03pm, emby will just automativcally change to that channel at 5:03pm exactly when that movie starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmacca01 149 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I think a better option would be a pop-up to let you know it is about to start, with options to watch or cancel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi. it would be better if it offered you the option to NOT change to the channel. That way, your scenario still works and, if you've changed your mind (because you're watching the end of an exciting soccer match or something) when the time rolls around, you have a way to stop it. In the meantime, why not just set it up to record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, why not just set it up to record? do you guy just like doing the opposite of what i ask or something? you could still make it change the channel automatically and a warning will come up for 2 minutes before automatically changing the channel where you have 2 minutes to still cancel the channel change. i dont undertsand why it has to be one thing or another with you guys. its almost like no one understands what can be done when you know how to code. i dont even know how to code but im trying to learn and i still know what can be done i just cant do it myself. thats where your devs come in. and i see lots of feature rquests but nothing new ever gets added to the emby for android tv app. are you guys just done with trying to make it better? is this all we get? the one thing we have to pay money for is live tv and it never even gets an update. and the regular emby app still need s alot of work as the ui is really laggy and have to wait for too many loading screens to highlight another channel or button. and the emby for android tv ui live tv is kind of laggy too but not as bad, i have to wait like 5 seconds to land on a channel for the movie thumbnail to show up because if i press the ok button any sooner, its starts playing the previously highlighted channel instead.

That is exactly what I just suggested that you are objecting to so I'm a bit confused. 3 hours ago, ebr said: it would be better if it offered you the option to NOT change to the channel.

ebr 14913 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Just now, eeeeeesy said: oh i thought you were talking about what gilmacca said I took his suggestion and turned it around - made it an "opt out" prompt instead of an "opt in". That way, if you weren't in the room or didn't want to grab the remote, you wouldn't need to - unless you had changed your mind and didn't want the channel to change. I think that would be a better setup IF we were to have a function such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeeeeesy 31 Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) also, for the timers tab, you would need an IF is NOT present statement to detect if that channel no longer is playing the specific movie at that exact time and day encase you have created your own channels with ErsatzTV or disqueTV because those programs have an option to re-randomize the content on each channel so the timers wont match up. then you would need a THEN statement to automatically delete the timer if the channel become randomized or out of sync with the timers. theres also the problem of renumbering your channels in xteve or ETV which is the same issue but can still be fixed the way i mentioned.
