Favorites limit/shuffle BT issues and more on apple tv

hi there. Just started using Emby full time this week and have purchased a 1yr subscription of emby connect. I run an apple only home and Ive noticed quite a few basic features missing on the ATV app that are available on ios, browser and the native android tv app.

 

- Favorites item limit. I added a few shows as a favorite but cant access them on the apple tv as there seems to be a limit and how many can be displayed. This seems quite odd as this is not the case on any of your apps.

an easy way to fix this is to add a button called view all at the end of the list.

 

- missing random/shuffle tv series button.

 

- when you have different versions on a tv or show such as 1080p, 4k or 4kDv they are broken down as versions with the same exact cover art when added to favorites…this is not a great UX solution…

 

- 2 similar play buttons on a tv show section. Play next and play all. Again not a good UX. It would much more useful to change the play all button into a shuffle/random button.

I think these are both resolved when the next update is released

No I havent. I havent used Emby since 6 months ago due to the fact that the apple tv app lacked those basic features. Thats why I asked the question, cause if those issues have been fixed I will give it another go and finally get to enjoy the remainder of the 1yr Emby Premiere that I had purchased.

It should give you 40 favorites in each category.

Shuffle on TV Series is there now

Strangely, multiple versions can be selected using the Select audio or subtitles button
