HawkXP71 99 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Im running on windows 11 pro with Emby Theater 3.0.17 I recently migrated to the Download version of Emby Theater Previously with the window store version, I could pin the theater to the taskbar. Now however, it will only pin to the underlying electron application. The installer didnt give the option of creating a shortcut, typically when this occurs I can right mouse click on the taskbar icon and pin it to the taskbar. But doing so, it points to electron. Any suggestions?? PS. I recommend renaming the installer from setup.exe to embytheater-3.0.17.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Only way I see is drag the shortcut from apps menu to taskbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that, is when I launch it from the taskbar, I get a secondary "electron" icon... Windows isnt recognizing the running application as the launch icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 The problems of this electron app. Probably have to wait on the New Windows app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was an electron app compiler that created a stand alone exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits 12 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Windows 11 Pro/Theater Desktop - I have no issues pinning to taskbar. Go to your theater folder and find Emby.Theater.exe. Right click it and select show more options. You will find pin to taskbar there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 113 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Use the executable in the installation folder. Right click, and choose pin to taskbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37116 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 HI, yes this is a quirk the way the app's window management works. We have a new windows app that we are working on and it will behave as you would expect like any other windows app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also having a slight issue with how ET currently creates a 2nd icon, which causes a bit of a problem with some of my home automations. It's hard to make sure the Emby window is opened properly when it's location on the task bar changes depending on how many apps I currently have open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not currently but hopefully in the near future we'll have something more to share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
