TheShanMan 34 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Sorry if this has been covered. I didn't see any discussion in my search results. I find it kind of annoying that after I enter a password I have to arrow down twice to get to the sign in button. Is there any way of avoiding this or can this get fixed? Maybe some people need that on screen keyboard that pops up when you press select/ok but how about those of us who are content to use PINs? Would this warrant a setting perhaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Curious if this will be fixed anytime soon? It's driving my wife nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Please at least add an option to make the select button log you in rather than open the keyboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlionblue 80 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'll +1 on this. Pressing "Ok" or "Enter" on the remote should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 It seems very odd to me that problem continues to persist after all this time. It is an immediate "first impression" indicator that ET is still very much a work in progress and problematic from a wife approval factor standpoint. I would think it's an easy thing to fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crestj 67 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Agreed, OK button to "sign in" would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Still have to arrow down to log in? I'm really surprised. IMO requiring users to do this is obnoxious, particularly when it would seemingly be so easy to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The button is right there so it's easy enough, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Is it "hard"? No, but it's an annoying usability issue. I don't think it's normal when entering a password to have to directly use a button to complete login. Using a keyboard it's customary for enter to log you in. Using a remote (as I'm doing, it's customary to push the ok/select button on the remote. It's "weird" to get a virtual keyboard when you try to do this in emby, and not particularly wife/kid friendly. At the very least, an option for this would be nice.

TheShanMan 34 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Still no movement on this I see. It sure would be nice if there was a way to make ok/select log the user in to save the extra couple of button presses. Perhaps an option to disable the virtual keyboard which would then change the action associated with ok/select? Or maybe an option to require a long press of the ok/select button to bring up the keyboard and a short press would log the user in? I can deal with it as is but I'm thinking of the wife approval factor as I once again consider the switch from WMC to Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 In desktop layout mode there will be no virtual keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Just tried it and while you're right, it's pretty much unusable with a remote (right off the bat, arrow keys don't really seem to work). It would be nice if there was a solution for TV's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if there was a solution for TV's. You need to find the correct profile for the remote commands. With my HTPC and Harmony Remote, I use the "Microsoft Windows Media Center SE" profile. Arrow keys work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Works just fine in TV mode, but not in desktop mode. So it doesn't seem to be my remote configuration. It's also a non-ideal workaround as I see right off the bat there are other differences like small text.

Yes you are right. I just don't think about this very much since I only run Emby Theatre on the HTPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
