Roku app wish list

Hi @@ebr and @@Luke and devteam, here are all the things I'd like to see added or revised in the new Roku app, most of which are available in the web app, in my perceived order of priority:

 

  1. Allow viewing of Part 2 videos - these are currently impossible to view in Roku! https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/47606-roku-beta-cannot-access-additional-parts-of-split-movie/
  2. Add an "Active Recordings" library to chase-play TV shows currently being recorded - https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/47278-active-recordings-section-of-roku-live-tv/
  3. In the Live TV Guide, reverse the popup order after clicking on a show to have "Tune to Channel" first, then "Record", then "Record Series" - https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/47160-roku-beta-channel-guide-ok-popup-change-of-order-request/
  4. Play theme.mp3 when placed in the show folder for TV Shows - https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/47565-roku-theme-music/ 
  5. Roku Thumbnail plug-in:  Exclude the Recordings folder by default - https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/47791-roku-thumbnail-plug-in-enhancement-suggestions/
  6. In the Live TV Guide, add entries in the * (Options) popup menu to "add channel as favorite" and "add show as favorite" 
  7. In the Live TV library, add a row for Favorite Shows (as selected from the On Now row) which would ONLY appear when the show is currently streaming on a TV channel
  8. In the Live TV Guide, never re-order the list of channels based upon favorites selected or last channels viewed, there simply isn't enough screen real estate (currently you must disable the "place favorite channels at the beginning" via settings in the web to achieve this) - https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/46977-roku-beta-guide-channel-scramble/

As always, thanks for your collective consideration!

I love wish lists!

 

here are mine:

  • change the library page to also show "all movies" and "all shows" without clicking the extra button on the bottom
  • Manage recordings from the roku app
  • search for new shows to find new season pass recordings
  • add some kind of commercial skipper or remover for tv shows
  • be able to watch shows still recording

thanks!

#3 is complete. Such a simple but useful change

I would also like to see the Roku app respect the "landing page" preferences in the web config. The landing pages do not sure anything that isn't already on the home screen and only makes navigating to the complete list more effort. Same goes for the Live TV guide, I want to option to pick the Live TV landing page.

I have a comcut program I built, but you can always turn to MCEbuddy as a prebuilt solution. If you would like to experiment with my app for the postprocessing option in Emby I might be willing to float you an exe @@farside847. The only thing I haven't yet figured out is those programs with a little programming at the very end, after the last commercial break.

As mentioned previously, 3 is already implemented and 8 is already possible with the option you mentioned.

These are wonderful ways to start the weekend, especially one where Plex introduced their own Live TV solution but far inferior to what Emby already offers IMHO.  No guide grid, no pause/RW live TV, no Roku option yet.  Just have to say as a full convert.

 

Thanks Emby team!!   :)

Your 2nd bullet should be a part of my #2 IMO

Hey @@ebr there is another popup in Live TV Guide that needs to be reversed to emulate the fix for #3:

 

3. In the Live TV Guide, reverse the popup order after clicking on a show to have "Tune to Channel" first, then "Record", then "Record Series" - https://emby.media/c...-order-request/

 

If the show is part of a series recording, the first option to click is "Cancel series recording" - to be consistent with the other change this should be flipped to have Tune to Channel as the first selection on the list.

Was the item currently playing or in the future?
