reluctantflux 38 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Since the app is basically now just the web interface, and since pressing the "back" button/icon on an Android device in this new app goes back through every screen yet seen, I respectfully suggest an "Exit App" feature would be of value. It might logically go in the menu beneath "Sign Out." Why wouldn't you just press the home button? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iam4uk 26 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Why wouldn't you just press the home button? Just curious.That does not stop the app, as shown by the fact that when I later go back to the app, it's at the same screen where I left it, with all the history at the back button. Of course, it no longer starts where I told it, and settings are missing... Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might logically go in the menu beneath "Sign Out." closing apps manually is a bit overrated in my opinion. That said, you can go to the app list and swipe away the app. You don't even need to go to home screen first. But in general, the back button behavior is inconsistent in regards to a regular android app. It might be tricky to fix since we are now dealing with a Cordova app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamvids 37 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Just a little one, it's great being able to build playlists from the new app, but once an item has been added the "add to playlist" screen stays and doesn't disappear back off to the side. It does if you press another part of the screen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice pube 20 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Might as well post this here too - is anyone else having issues scrolling horizontally in the app? I always run portrait mode and I have a really hard time scrolling this way. I can sometimes scroll if I press harder down on the screen, it seems like the touch feedback is broken or something. Since this is a client issue, I assume the server logs will not help, is that correct? Not really sure what else I can do. I am running: Droid Turbo Android 4.4.4 Emby app 2.3.13 WIndows Server stable I have attempted to clear data on the app, getting the same issues.

I have a Nexus 7 (2012) Tablet and a Moto X phone running Android 4.4.4 and the latest version of Emby Android Mobile. MOTO X PHONE: Performance is manageable and still useful, but considerably slower than the previous version that was a native implementation. NEXUS 7 (2012) TABLET: Performance is unacceptable and unusable. I can swipe 1, 2, maybe 3 times to try and scroll the screen up and maybe by the 3rd or 4th swipe I might get a response on screen. (I think it may be from my 1st swipe.) If I can eventually get to a detail screen for a video and press play, the playback and performance of simple MP4, h.264, AAC files are sputtering and not watchable. All of the navigation and playback I just described was very acceptable and darn right 'snappy' in the previous solution. I will wait and see how the solution evolves, but I must say at the moment I am quite disappointed. A big plus of MB / Emby for me was the evolving Android support, but at the moment I am left with very little use on my current Android devices. Perhaps I just have to accept that having android hardware that is a couple of years old is just not an option for this solution. I apologize for digressing, but to your initial question of horizontal scrolling, I am suggesting that it could just be a response lag issue, because I do experience the same issue with my Nexus 7 tablet. It is not always impossible to scroll up or down, but it is definitely considerably slower and I just have to stop swiping at some point and see if anything will eventually respond.

ice pube 20 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I would think so as well, but if I swipe it never swipes. I have waited 30+ seconds and it just doesn't move. I agree about the disappointment, I was trying to move 100% to Emby from plex. The way it is now, the android app is essentially useless. I can take a video if people want.

I moved to 5.0.1 when it first came out, but performance was so bad at the OS level that I fell back to 4.4.4, just to have a functioning device. I have read that subsequent updates have been kinder to 1st Gen Nexus 7's. Thanks for the input. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_slayer 103 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 There is no horizontal swiping between categories at the moment. Vertical scrolling hasn't been affected for me on my LP n7 or G2, but swiping between latest/suggested/etc is totally absent as I mentioned about fifteen or so posts ago. A couple of updates since but no change. Luke said it would come back eventually, so no worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved to 5.0 and found the lag intolerable. I was hoping that follow on updates may have resolved this. I do find 4.4 quite stable and still snappy with performance. Really disappointed with how the latest Android Mobile is performing with this set up. The previous version performed so well, so really disappointed thus far. Everything else that streams seems to perform so well with my current setup (Netflix, Hulu, Mizuu - a local Android Media solution, not streaming). Is 4.4 performing well on your 2012 Nexus 7 with the current version of Android Mobile? If that is the case, then perhaps there is a specific issue with my hardware / software setup.

FLHTHEMI 2 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Lollipop on a Samsung T800 Emby v 2.3.36 New update force closes a lot. Mostly when in metadata manager scrolling through covers, backdrops and thumbs. Would like to have option of a black background for the pop out menu. I have a hard time with the white wash. When leaving/swtiching to and from movie metadata in the manager the green highlight bar for the content you're looking at will sometimes be exposed beyond the left panel and into the metadata area while viewing the art for the item you're currently editing.
