The file name, yes, but just the name - not the full path. Turn on the option to "Show additional media details" in the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 175 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Okaaay. I already have this turned on. I didn't realize that was the filename, because it is not, really. It says "Avatar (Mpegts)" but the filename is "Avatar (2009).ts". Then, I have something like "Avatar (2009) MP4 HB.mp4" and Emby just shows "MP4 HB (MP4). Neither is the filename; not even close. Do I need to make an enhancement request to get the actual filename? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14955 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 It is showing the actual file name - just not the path nor extension. Instead of extension, it shows the container type. TS = MpegTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 175 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 I understand the Mpegts part. But it is NOT showing the filename. "Avatar (2009)" != "Avatar" "Avatar (2009) MKV HB" != "MKV HB" Now, it seems if the filename is so whack that Emby can't figure out what movie it is, it will show the name as you say it does. Otherwise, it tries to be smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14955 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Hi. Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 175 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Sure. I have 3.2.44 installed. Nothing about the filename shows. But you can test this better than I, I presume. There is nothing special about my environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinrh 175 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 No. It is too much hassle. Why can't Emby test it? When will we stop the 'try sideloading the Android app' game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swallman 39 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I just tried this myself on the sideloaded Android app and it does show the entire filename (along with path). The Fire TV app does not show the filename properly at all - in my case it appears to be truncated (and has periods removed). Much prefer having the proper filename and full path. I also noticed quite a bit of difference in the UI between the 2 apps (with the Fire TV UI preferred) - which one will become the default? Or will they always be quite a bit different?

So people prefer this grey ugliness (Android TV version)? vs. this one (Fire TV version)? In all honestly, the 2nd one looks much more professional - thinking the grey is kinda old/dated.

GrimReaper 3329 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I think you're mixing versions, upper screenshot is Standard Android app, soon to replace native AndroidTV app (lower screenshot), that runs on AndroidTV and FireTV devices.

Yeah that's what I mean - the current native AndroidTV app (what's available in the Amazon app store) looks a lot better than the new version (upper screenshot). At least IMHO... And this looks pretty silly on a 65" TV - I mean it's nice to have the options there but presentation looks ancient... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
