Apple TV - browsing collection using A-Z scroll

Where are we with this must have function?

Without this switching from Plex will not happen. This has been "being looked into" for years.

Same place as we have been for too long. Give it up. No one is listening.  Plex has it. It’s just too hard for the Emby Team or they just don’t care. Shame really; considering that Apple is quite a big company with quite a big user base. Use Plex instead.

As much as I wanted to like Emby I can't make the switch. I cancelled my Premiere subscription and will continue to monitor the AppleTV app for proper function. If it ever works like it should I will revisit the server software again.

Please support this feature like the native web app! It would be such a huge improvement for the Apple TV app!

Hi skuup. If you’ve read this topic back to the beginning when I raised it you’ll get a feeling for the importance Emby is placing on its Apple TV users. Look out for a nice discounted Plex subscription. Valid for life and , guess what, it works just as it should. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer using Emby over Plex  but at the end of the day I need a system that will work on my AppleTV with my 1200+ movie collection - and that ain’t Emby.

Any update?

It’s really time to update the Apple TV Emby app to play 4k content. All my 4K content plays without issues on Emby IOS MacOS and WebOS Apps without buffering. On the Apple TV App there is constant buffering. Also please add a alpha numerical index to the Apple TV and WebOS apps as what appears IN THE iOS app content selection.

Hi, yes, we're still looking into this, but there's a number of UI updates coming so it's moving up the list. Thanks.

It has been SIX YEARS since the scroll issue was first raised in this thread. Thru necessity, I'm still using Plex on my AppleTV. When will Emby get this feature to make Emby usable on AppleTV?

I've been patiently waiting for over FIVE years for the alpha-picker to be addressed in the Apple TV app. IS THIS BASIC FEATURE EVER GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED? I really do want to use the Emby app. However, my movie collection is over 10,000 movies, and trying to scroll through that many movies is virtually impossible. Without this feature, the app is practically useless. I really don't understand why such a basic feature, that every other app has, is so difficult for you to implement. You've been telling us for over 5 years that this feature is on your radar. I would definitely purchase the PREMIER version if the feature was available. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LISTEN TO YOUR USER BASE.

I would appreciate if we could any update on this? The last version is almost more than a year old and there is no update so far.
