ggibson793 19 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This is more of a "wouldnt it be cool if it did this...." It would be nice to keep the live tv stream active in a small picture in the corner of the screen and view the channel guide in full screen. For instance, I am watching a live show and want to look at what comes on next or on another channel without closing the show I am currently watching.

samuelqwe 185 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Would like to see this as well, because being able to have the show keep playing in the corner while I look at guide is something that I absolutely love from cable boxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denz 375 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Or have the video running in the background with the tv guide overlay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessClevage 168 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I think I raised this same request around 12 months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jachin99 72 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I voted for it. This is one of a few features that would contribute greatly to the UX while using a remote control. I love using emby on a touchscreen but it still needs things like this for couch viewing. Just my 02 cents though, and I know it takes work.

We are working on it in other places but just want to point out again that this does already exist in our most popular dedicated "from the couch" app (Android/Fire TV). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggibson793 19 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Any progress on this? I get that it works in Android TV and Fire TV, but I don't have either of those devices, and am sure that lots of users are in the same boat. My 2 most used devices are the Android tablet casting to Chromecast and Emby Theater for XBox One. If you could get PIP to work those apps, it will really put Emby over the top of anything else comparable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawdrewage 14 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Any ball park for "near future'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayars 3394 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Any ball park for "near future'? A few bucks and a trip to BestBuy will get it for you today. Sorry couldn't resist. Honestly you don't know what you're missing not using a Shield TV. It's just so much smoother and faster then any Roku it's amazing how much better the experience feels. Plus the Emby client on the Shield TV is world class! Yea it costs more, but it's a case of you get what you pay for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcm2a 8 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 All of my tvs are either roku tvs or have a roku attached. Plus one for roku preview + guide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawdrewage 14 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I have too much invested in roku and it is one of the top platforms. I did lots of research before buying this gear. It just sounds like you are throwing horsepower at the problem which is not a good solution in my mind. It doesn't solve problems but rather let's you get away with things done in not so great a way. Also, lots of other other people including directvnow have apps that work great. So, being a programmer myself, this would point to problems in the software. I am not trying to be a jerk or rude, just pointing out the logical. I picked the directvnow app as an example because it is the most intensive I could think of on my stuff and it works great. Smooth, fast....And my server is lightning fast Freebsd. Maybe Emby is due for a total rewrite of certain apps...it happens. I know I have been there.

This request is for a feature that doesn't exist yet in all of our apps but is being worked on. I don't understand why you think this is "throwing horsepower at a problem"? It is simply a feature that hasn't made it into all apps yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
