SmplyUnprdctble 3 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Prior to the Preview / Beta app going live, this worked "fine". Now, it doesn't. On the RokuTV, when I'm watching a stream, I can hit the * button and it brings up a "side menu" that has various options for the TV -- e.g. Brightness, Contrast, Sleep Timer, etc. In the way old version of the app, this worked fine. In the Preview / Beta, it would allow the TV's popup up, and the Emby Playback Options (Select Audio; Select Subtitle) would show up. It was a minor annoyance, but seemed like the only availability based on the few buttons on the remote. In the current Preview / Beta and Production apps, I hit the * and the TV's options flicker, but only bring Emby Playback Options. As I said, primarily I use this to get to the Sleep Timer without having to leave the Emby environment (I can still get there, I just have to hit HOME and do it through the Settings). I'm attaching a trio of files. The first shows how the Options button works in Hulu (the screen that "cancels" to show Emby's Options) The second is the [expected and unexpected] result of the Options button in Emby The third is a 3-second video that shows what happens when I hit the Options button -- e.g. shows the TV's menu popping up then getting canceled. As previously mentioned, this was working until about a week ago (when the Beta / Preview channel went live). It's probably only a problem with the RokuTVs (since external Rokus wouldn't have this menu). Options Button - TV Options Cancel.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Yes, this is actually by design because the Roku method of selecting subs and audio tracks is so non-standard and not like any of our other apps. We will have to think of a way to manage this on the TVs. Perhaps a last option on that menu to produce the standard one - if we can figure out how to do that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmplyUnprdctble 3 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 As I said, something changed from earlier versions of the Beta. It WAS popping up both menus -- which, although not perfect, gets the job done for us with RokuTVs. If you can somehow make it go back to that functionality, it'd be a decent workaround. I, at least, didn't mind having both pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane03 14 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Press pause and then * and the TV menu will work. Still not ideal or intuitive, but at least it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmplyUnprdctble 3 Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Thanks Lane -- that does work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmplyUnprdctble 3 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 This apparently has been resolved in a recent update. I wound up hitting the Asterisk button by accident and saw the appropriate menu to get me to the options. (using the non-beta Roku App) Thanks! You rock!
