[nwsurfer 0]

Unable to view/select movies when on Actor details screen.

 

steps:

1. launch Emby Theater and log in

2. select a movie

3. scroll down to Cast & Crew section

4. select an actor (make sure it's one with multiple movies in your collection)

5. on the actor detail page, attempt to move down to view and select one of the other movies 

 

expected - user is able to select other movies the actor was in

actual - unable to move cursor down to other movies, unable to view the full movie poster. 

 

occurs on

 - Win7 TV via HDMI

 - Chrome browser loading http://tv.emby.media/

Does the actor have a really long description?

The description doesn't appear to be the issue. 

 

In the browser, if I use just my arrow keys, I cannot view the movies.  

If I use the scroll button on my mouse, eventually I can use the arrow keys to navigate down to the movies.  Once I am able to navigate through the movies however, I can no longer access the search or profile buttons as before. 

 

Because I use this mostly on the TV using a remote control, using the arrow buttons is preferable over the scroll button.

Is the description very long? Thanks.

No, the length of the description does not affect this issue.  This occurs when the description is one line or a full paragraph.

Thanks for the info.

I believe the same issue is in the Samsung Orsay and Tizen ET apps.   You can't navigate to any movies an actor is in using a remote.  Keyboard works like expected when plugged into tv.

i have the same issue when using my MCE remote, but using mouse and keyboard works fine. I had a post here a while ago https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/46275-emby-theater-and-unable-to-select-actors-with-remote/#entry445945 

 

Said it was resolved but never worked for me unfortunately
