theeternalmushroom 4 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Sorry if repost, didn't see this in the last few pages. I've been trying out Emby for a couple weeks now. Bought a few apps to support dev. Please consider requests below Reduce unnecessary steps to play or record media.. Example, playing a music album: Suggestions should be an option that can be turned off. I do not think many use this and it's an extra step to get to album/artist/etc. So now I select album and from there.. When I click play icon on top of an album, why is there a menu that pops up asking if I want to play, instant mix, or shuffle? Play should just play the album from the beginning, no extra steps. I would add a settings (...) menu on the left side of album art with the additional play options. Recording a Live TV show: Once a show is selected, record doesn't record. It takes you to another screen where you have the option to record series & change padding before you can actually schedule it.. wasted step that could be avoided. Couple of other ideas that I don't want to create a thread for: - Music, a quick shuffle all mode would be extremely useful and save a few wrecks navigating the menus in the process. - TV Guide speed - Even with EPG data set to 1 day, ~100 channels takes 15-20 seconds to display in both web & android. Hopefully this can be preloaded/optimized somehow in the future. Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36881 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hi, sorry, but the record screen isn't a wasted step. People do actually use series recordings, and if we changed it so they had to schedule a recording, then go somewhere else to change it to a series recording, then there would be even more complaints about not being able to find it. Thank you for the rest of your feedback, we'll take a look at them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeternalmushroom 4 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm sure they do, but once you have your normal series recordings set, it's not something most would use more often than say one-off record for a live event or similar. Not arguing the option shouldn't be there, but why not make it quicker/easier instead of dedicating an extra screen to it? Maybe like a single tap records once, double tap records series and changes the icon to R>>> or whatever to indicate such. It's not a huge deal but I think a few minor interface tweaks could go a long way. JMO.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
