tOLJY 15 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 When I play an episode and press the button to view the episode summary while playing it works fine When I try to watch that episode as part of a playlist the same action gives an empty display It will have the show title, episode title rating, duration and play type (direct etc) but nothing under it in the way of an episode summary. Is this intended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3309 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Which client app? But generally it shouldn't matter where from an item is played, OSD should work in the same way/show same info/actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tOLJY 15 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Correct It only works when watching an episode directly Not when playing the episode through a playlist It brings up the menu but the synopsis is empty. Every other bit of metadata is there. I can provide an image if that helps? Edited June 2, 2023 by tOLJY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the same episode you're playing/episode that does have actual synopsis? Anyway, @ebrmight potentially need you to submit in-app logs, but let's wait for his input.

tOLJY 15 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Yep, can confirm it is the same episode I'm playing. Has synopsis when played directly but not in a playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3309 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Which app version you're on? As it appears it should've been addressed sometime mid-'21, so both latest release and latest beta should not exhibit same behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tOLJY 15 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 The latest on the play store for Google TV - emby says it's 2.0.83g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37107 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 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...
tOLJY 15 Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 I have the standard app and it works perfectly there. I raise the issue about the android tv version only because it looks like the standard app is still a ways away from being the default on android tv. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
