troyhough 57 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) How would you improve them? Off the top of my head, I would have 2 master settings categories/buttons, labeled appropriately so even dummies understand it: 1. Settings for this device only. 2. Global/Cross-Platform settings (These settings do not change between devices) From within those you can have all your sub-setting categories...

Luke 37129 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Yea, the only thing is that if you categorize that way, then for example you'll end up with subtitle settings under both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14938 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Why does it matter? Isn't it intuitive that something like a language setting should follow the user and a quality setting should only apply to the device? What we are aiming for is that it just works the way you would expect and you don't have to worry about where anything is stored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37129 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 @@troyhough subtitles are just one example. There would likely be other categories that would also be under both.

troyhough 57 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Why does it matter?------- Doesn't "matter" if you don't want to push for a polished experience. Isn't it intuitive that something like a language setting should follow the user and a quality setting should only apply to the device?------- Yes, absolutely. Just make it clean and known, in some form or another. What we are aiming for is that it just works the way you would expect and you don't have to worry about where anything is stored. ------ I agree with this 100%, however, if it "just worked" then we wouldn't be where are with this conversion, right? By not being clear & specific, it makes the settings somewhat confusing, for some users. Edited November 27, 2018 by troyhough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyhough 57 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 How would you improve them? Another idea off the top of my head would be to put a *(star) next to the settings that are Global. Then at the top or bottom of the settings page put *These settings are cross-platform and stay the same between all devices. Something along those lines... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyhough 57 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) No, setup in your Emby library. Theme songs & videos No I do not. It says..... "If enabled, theme songs will be played in the background while browsing library." Is this not the case? If not, it needs to be worded appropriately. On Plex it says..... "Plays theme music when displaying TV shows". I check it and it just works. Edited December 4, 2018 by troyhough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14938 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi. Plex has a paid source for this media. Since there is no public and legal source for these items available to us, you need to supply them yourself. This is detailed in the topic I linked to above. We should change the description under the option to say you need to have the media. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should change the description under the option to say you need to have the media. Thanks. For some reason it hadn't dawned on me that theme songs were missing from my Emby library navigation (though they are present in Plex). ...and now I notice theme videos are an option. Nice. Thanks for that. This means I need to poke around to fill out my library. With music that I specify. Sure, Plex does automatically have theme music but I can't easily specify there what it is---and then only for TV shows and not movies. Tick a box in Emby's favor as far as I'm concerned.
