icegoddess222 3 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 hi my emby theater seems to have updated or something to a newer layout and i was curious if there was a way to roll it back? or a setting i can change to get previous functionality back? i tried all the layout options and cant seem to emulate how the app previously worked. i even tried downloading an older version 3.0.16 and its looking the same previously on the now playing screen all of the buttons for playback/cc/audio/settings, were all underneath the playbar and now theyre split half above and half below, making it so you cant just hit right or left to get to certain options, youll have to hit up and down to get between them similarly, when browsing media, previously the highlighted item would be brought forward, but now has been changed to a silver border around the selected option, which can be hard to see around certain posters/items and looks a lot cheaper imo (feels like im using arrow keys on the webui) and when on shows' pages, previously in the top right were the buttons for settings/search and now theyre just blank also when hitting back on the homescreen, previously it would open the settings menu and you could hit back again to close it, and now if you hit back on the main menu, it pops up this hamburger menu, and if you hit back again, it closes the entire app without any confirmation hopefully this post doesnt sound super whiney, cause i know a lot of hard works goes into the app, but a lot of these changes feel like steps back imo and id like to be able to restore the previously functionality if possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The button will be visible when the mouse is active or if you change the app display mode to mobile or desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37149 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Quote also when hitting back on the homescreen, previously it would open the settings menu and you could hit back again to close it, and now if you hit back on the main menu, it pops up this hamburger menu, and if you hit back again, it closes the entire app without any confirmation Hi, it's actually the same menu but just organized a little differently, right?

Before you had to press down, then right several times. Now you can just press up once and you're right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37149 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 The back behavior on the home screen is being changed back to what it was before with Emby Theater desktop. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1561 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Personally, have absolutely no objection to options, but I find the border to be preferable in appearance and easier to spot, especially if the background is an image and not plain grey, black etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a lot of items, it's way easier to notice which one is selected with the border around it than when it was a slightly bigger image.

Must admit in a browser I put a border round everything I can find and use a contrast colour to highlight it. Maybe a teeny bit over the top (!) but it works for me - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
