Aussiedroid 56 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi All, Just noticed the new vertical view option in Emby Theater. Very nice! Looks good, and works fairly well when using on my TV in lounge (with remote to control). However, I find it a little problematic when using it on my PC with a mouse, particularly the side-scrolling implementation. When I 'drag' the view to the side to see the rest of the list it snaps back to center the thumbnail I used to drag. Not smooth like the web interface is when using mouse for reference. It also means you can generally only move the list a couple of thumbnails at a time before it jars back to center. There is also no side scroll arrows to use instead. Using scroll wheel would be great but obviously this is locked to the vertical view instead. Would be awesome if this could be improved for mouse users to work more like the web interface, or have an option to remove the side-scroll and alternatively add another line or two under each section (which I think would still work rather well in the vertical view and would not be much scrolling down). Thank you, AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37132 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi, if you're using a mouse, you're probably better off setting the display mode to desktop and then you'll get the arrows like the web app has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiedroid 56 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the quick reply Luke! I have just given this a try and its not too bad, but using this on a 4k screen does make the scaling of the UI very small (any way to return this to full size?). If I use the mouse now though, it brings up a selection interface (can this be disabled?). Scrolls smoothly though Also, side note, I have My Media (Small) for the first home screen section and this seems to be hidden by the top bar when scrolling to the top of the screen (perhaps I can change this back to the normal size though as a workaround). Thanks again. Edited January 2, 2018 by Aussiedroid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37132 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 can you show a screenshot of the my media thing? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiedroid 56 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Sure thing. If I scroll down one notch on the mouse the top bar disappears and it is viewable, but noticed on some views in library where you cannot scroll as there is not enough items it cannot be hidden. Looks like the top bar should be about half the size to work (at least in 4k resolutions). Here is the desktop version: Here is a library view: Here is the original size when set to Auto (for reference to the very small scaling): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37132 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 So you're saying you can't scroll back up to the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiedroid 56 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 The two first images are scrolled as far up as they can go. When I hit the top of the screen the bar appears and covers up some of the icons etc. When you start Emby it also displays like this. I scroll down a tiny bit and that bar disappears and I can see the media buttons in full. On some screens where there is no scrolling I cannot hide it at all. Options menu is like that. It looks to me that that bar is not scaling for the desktop view, where all the other elements are scaled (very small) causing the misalignment. Cheers, AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37132 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Ok, I'm not able to reproduce that. are you sure you've scrolled all the way back up to the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiedroid 56 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yes, 100% sure. Could it possibly be due to the Windows scaling? I'm running in 3840x2160, but have it scaled to 130%. It doesn't look like it follows the windows scaling values but not sure what else it might be. The bar seems to be the same size in both the desktop and auto/TV views, but in desktop everything else scales much smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37132 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hmm yes that could be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiedroid 56 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 I've returned to using the TV mode instead of Desktop. Scaling is just too small for my eyes. Playing around a bit, I did find that when I do the side scrolling with the mouse that the flow goes smoothly if I let go of the mouse button when the thumbnail is not underneath it. So if I scroll to the side then move the mouse up or down to a blank part of the screen the scrolling is smooth and doesn't click back to the thumbnail you started the drag action from. It a workable workaround for now, but would still be great if it were smooth like the desktop interface. Many Thanks, AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
