AdrianW 1055 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Is it just me or does ET start playback a bit quicker now? Previously I'd hit play, the screen would go black and my TV's refresh rate would change then the ET detail screen would appear again and finally playback would start. But today the quick re-display of the detail screen didn't occur on multiple occasions - playback seemed to start between 1 and 2 seconds quicker.
Luke 39854 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Posted January 16, 2017 Yes all of the apps should be starting to get a little quicker at playing. 2
Luke 39854 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 @@denz as requested i'm doing a slight re-order of the detail screen buttons to reduce clicks required to get to the delete button. enjoy.
denz 453 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Can't wait to see it I have been doing all my deleting in the web client as I felt a repatitive strain injury coming on from all buttons I had to press just to delete something. I can see the changes in the web client I would still have it one button closer to the play button for recorded tv only. Now just need the recording channel to appear and blur to disappear the detail screen will look good. I think little bugs need to be fixed like when you delete something it doesn't take you to the screen you were just in they have been long overdue to fix. Edited January 19, 2017 by denz
Luke 39854 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Great news. I've pushed an update for Emby Theater on Sony PS4. The Live TV Guide layout issues have been resolved and the guide is now equivalent to what you see on other platforms. Enjoy.
denz 453 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 It is better but still too many clicks since moving it next to play is not an option (even for recorded tv where it is obvious choice) can it default to Delete instead of cancel that way it will cut one click. You wouldn't be clicking delete if you didn't want to delete there are accidental presses but I think they will be pretty rare.
blade005 175 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 @@Luke Emby Server: 3.1.277 beta ET Desktop: 2.5.37 The prompt for START AT BEGINNING or RESUME PLAYBACK is not present when a video is started that has a resume point. It just plays from the RESUME point without any prompting. Is that by design? I wasn't a big fan of the prompt, but an option to restart at beginning would be nice. I know you are trying to unify the look across multiple platforms and manage screen real estate, but WMC adds a RESUME and RESTART button to screen once a video begins playing and then has a resume point. 1

Guest asrequested Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Ah yes, thanks. You should adjust the release notes, too. They don't match the notes on Github.
denz 453 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Any chance to look at the tv guide issues as it is not usuable at the moment when channels have sports timeslots for 5 6 and more hourse I use current and upcoming as alternative. To schedule recordings i use web client.
denz 453 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Minor visual errors the recording indicator is not the same size bigger one looks better. Emby Theater needs bit of tender and care it feels like it has been left in the cold when you compare it to the web client. The recording indicator does not appear when you press record but it does appear when you go back into.
zero4webb 2 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 New user here and so far I like what I see. Keep up the good work! What code do I need to manipulate in order to be able to click on the genres of a movie to be taken directly to that genre listing. I would also like to take that knowledge and create a link for the actor/actress as well (thinking about removing the thumbnails). Last but not least, where can I find the code to change the quality of the autofocus and thumbnails in general? They are stuck on 80/90 percent. Sorry to be a pain in the rear. Thanks!

ShoutingMan 98 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I'm requesting a feature addition to Emby Theater: a way to change the vertical positioning of subtitles in Emby Theater. I want to raise them up about one line height. I'm comparing native playback of subtitled movies as discs in PowerDVD to MKV in Emby Theater. Emby theater positions the subtitles significantly lower in the screen than the disc playback does, about one full line lower. This worsens the overall experience. For a letterboxed movie like "Amelie", the subtitles fall across the letterbox boundary in Emby while they're within the movie frame natively. And in all cases (also seen in a 1.85 movie like "Kiki's Delivery Service") the subtitles are too close to the bottom of the screen, farther from the natural viewing location, making it a bit harder to read and watch simultaneously. Thanks
denz 453 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Is it possible for live tv now playing and upcoming to display first nine channels in the tv guide. Have the devs had a chance to look at the tv guide display issues so it is displayed like it does in wmc, kodi and set top boxes. Then we need mini tv guide. keep up the awesome work
denz 453 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of favourite button what does it do.
