DigiTM 60 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Hi again, This is interesting... I've found that when playing TV episodes, if the episode has a thumbnail then the OSD will disappear, if it doesn't then it sticks on the screen. I know there was a thumbnail there in previous versions of Emby Theatre. My daughter has been watching Shaun the Sheep on loop for months, so I'm not quite sure why the thumbnails have just disappeared and would be preventing the OSD from fading out? A loading issue maybe where if it can't load in the thumbnail the OSD hangs? Not working https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8nhcjQ1KVvdSW1aY0ZseHNjSzA/view?usp=sharing Working https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8nhcjQ1KVvdNTIxMmVlU0xjUEk/view?usp=sharing Hope that narrows down things a bit. I also just tried removing all mouse drivers, Teamviewer, Mobilemouse, and this didn't fix anything. Same thing that was an issue on my end too. Guess I was just lucky then by uninstalling Theater, HDMI CEC driver, and removing all traces from PC. On restart reinstalled Theater without HDMI CEC and it luckily worked. On this I noticed the poster view then showed up. My USB devices that are plugged in with W1064: MCE remote, Xbox One Controller, Lightpack. No keyboard or mouse plugged in since I use Xbox One Controller to act as a mouse and keyboard in Windows desktop mode.

BAS 225 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Can we please have an option to turn off backdrops throughout the interface besides on the final media page or whatever its being called these days. Performance on XB1 takes a serious hit with these especially in the all movies or all series areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangerhonda 2 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I can also report that the OSD sticks when playing anything from the TV category, but not when playing Movies. Tried uninstalling, restart, install but not the HDMI CEC but still have OSD stick only on TV shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABNParatrooper 6 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Not sure if this has been suggested or tried, but, disconnect your HTPC from your TV, and look at Emby Theatre on a regular monitor (if you have one), see if the issue still persists. It would be interesting to see if there are any thing common in the type of TVs/resolution between those having the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I toggled to desktop view, then switched back to TV view in settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37118 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Some minor happenings to report: - The startup wizard is now fully mobile friendly. You should have no issues on a small screen. While the interior of the application is not yet mobile friendly, the setup phase should be. - The text from the metadata editor has been completed so that is fully functional now. - I added some additional notifications for administrators. Open Emby Theater, then use the web client to install a plugin. The plugin installation is just one example of a notification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangerhonda 2 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 reporting back on the OSD sticking on TV shows. Changed the display view from auto to TV and OSD no longer sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, thanks for the report, but probably a coincidence. Auto will pick TV mode unless it's a mobile device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) I thought we were able to cancel an in-progress recording in ET? Edited July 29, 2016 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcv 3 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hi im not sure if this is available. I just moved from the wmc version to theatre, in wmc i had square as a theme & it use to show the latest tv or movies as the first set of grids on the left, in theatre mode it shows to the left as the first grids watching/continue watching for movies or tv. Then the latest shows/movies further across to the right. In the theatre settings is their somewhere i can swap the grids layouts around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentasm 43 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 At this time the only way to do that is to fork the default skin and make your own edits. I did it a while back, but my skin has fallen behind the current updates to the skin because I'm not very good with github and merges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW 1053 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) The back menu circles are now ellipses and the bottom edges are cut off by the captions: BTW - still not a fan of the circles Edited July 30, 2016 by AdrianW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungee91 98 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I thought we were able to cancel an in-progress recording in ET? Nope, we can't do much at all with recordings, currently killing the WAF here. I asked about this in this thread on 7/5 with no comment or reply about implementing this (IMHO this should have been priority when adding the LiveTv functions to ET). Hopefully can get some input soon. First post, long time lurker. Wondering if/when a detailed recording management screen will be included in Theater? Such as a listing of upcoming, currently recording, and "series" (or season pass; Tivo) editing options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way we can do this right now, is in the web browser. Edited July 30, 2016 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 A few observations. When windowed, the user icon and minimize button are so close their active areas are overlapping. So when using the mouse and I go to click the user icon, I end up minimizing. Also, when in desktop mode, the library names are much smaller. Not necessarily a bad thing, they fit better, but a little too small for a big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denz 426 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 As I suggestion can the recordings thumbnails be from the screenshot of the actual recording and not replace it with thumbnails from metadata websites because they squash the recording thumbnails which are in 16:9 format as you can see it the first picture. The overlay should have something like this if it is a movie the overlay should say Movie:Cool Running and to keep the background picture change that is a really neat feature. If one recording has an overlay so should all of them in this home screen This will give it more polished look. The same thing for the recordings tab as you can see it just looks horrible the way it is laid out hopefully we can option like in wmc as a single horizontal line or multiple horizontal lines if you choose to do so. Currently it just looks like it has been all thrown in and it looks horrible when you compare it to wmc and to me wmc is the benchmark. However saying that the developers have certainly done improvements that are better than wmc like metadata the background change and many more.

Luke 37118 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Good news - The Identify function is now available in Emby Theater, and it's remote friendly. Also added quick play buttons overlayed onto posters for mobile and desktop mode. Enjoy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is still holding me from upgrading. Having to arrow over the all movies section is a WAF and CAF killer. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37118 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 What movie categories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik 120 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I think its is referring to being able to click/enter on the title (movies/tv shows/..) along the top and have it go directly to the all movies/all tv shows/... Instead of having to click down a couple of times to get the same result. Not a big deal imo, but would be nice to have for sure. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppets4 23 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 What I would like is that theater gets some 'memory'. When you enter the movie details and go back, you go back to the first movie. Thats not very handy when having hundreds of movies. Also, when deleting a movie or serie, you go back to the home screen, what is even worse. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
