JaScoMa 33 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hello.. Didn't realized that this is supposed to work until I was watching on my Roku and skip intro worked. But "Skip Intro" does not work with a nVidia Sheild client. The button stays grayed out. Thank you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 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...
JaScoMa 33 Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hello, I downloaded and installed the ARM version of the Android Emby player and the "Skip Intro" button appears as it should and I could skip the intro. The only issue is that it's not optimized for Shield TV and the movement of selection options happens quickly and with controller (looks like a game console controller), doesn't work as well as the normal remote control. I confirmed that even with this app installed, the normal Shield TV app still displays the skip intro button, but you can't select it and it's grayed out. Thank you..

Why do you think it's not optimized for the Shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbjtech 4289 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I can confirm the AndroidTV 'Skip Intro' button works perfectly on my Shield and FireTV clients. If it 'pops up' then it's already 'selected' and you simply have to press 'OK' on the remote. If it's already there (at say 0:00) then press 'OK' just the same. If you navigate away (by say pressing any other button) - then to get back to the 'Skip Intro' you need to press 'Up' - and then 'OK' to skip. There is no highlight, so agree, it not obvious its selected if you navigate away from it. Edited February 1, 2023 by rbjtech 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, single pressing of the remote buttons makes it jump around and it's hard to explain. And the sheild pro controller buttons don't work properly.

Everything; I have both controllers and both won't work. I have a Roku client and as soon as the button appears, it's highlighted and selectable. With the shield client it doesn't.

I can press up, down, "OK", "A", whatever, nothing works. I wonder if it's a different version of the shield that is giving issues. I have the 2018 version I believe; the version prior to the latest hardware update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have a Shield remote control (either version)? Honestly, I haven't tested controllers in a few years as all Shields come with remotes.

JaScoMa 33 Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 One is a gaming controller and the other is the normal remote; https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shield/connect/ On my shield, neither will allow me to select "skip intro" and it stays grayed out. No matter which buttons, joy pads, etc., I select. The android app works, but it doesn't work properly. Press right once and it jumps two; feels like its very sensitive and hard to navigate the menus, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
