suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hello, for a few days my emby theater has switched automatically to what appears to be TV mode, where it used to be in desktop mode, the homepage allowed me to sidescroll posters(latest media), what I'm seeing now are wallpapers, and thumbnails of random TV Shows and Movies(not recently added media) I also cannot manually change it to desktop mode, as the writing and screen become microscopic, but the format remains the same? Not really a fan of this look, is there any way to change back, its very chaotic to find media especially the latest added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi there, have you tried clicking your user icon in the top right to explore all of the display and home screen settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 hello, yes I have tried to manually change it back, the issues can be seen here https://imgur.com/a/LZPYSYs this was an automatic change, im assuming due to an update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Sorry what is the issue exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Desktop mode for homepage no longer works(where you can side scroll latest posters), it automatically defaults to TV mode, when choosing desktop mode manually to be the default everything becomes incredibly small, but it stays in TV mode(second pic on imgur above) Edited April 8, 2019 by suprasaiyan123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Desktop mode has never used the horizontal home screen. It's never been implemented for desktop support. So yes if you set the display mode to desktop, then you can only use the vertical home screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) It was my understanding that desktop mode gave you a horizontal scrolling homepage, if not how can i revert back to the horizontal poster homepage.

Luke 37049 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 You'd have to set the display mode of the app to TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) I would like the homepage to look like it did previously which was like this https://imgur.com/a/rwVP2bm (the app has already defaulted to tv mode even though im on a desktop, it currently looks like the pics posted in the previous post, which is not what i want my home page to look). I hope this makes it easier to understand what I'm looking for. Edited April 9, 2019 by suprasaiyan123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Change this option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Change this option I It is already set to horizontal, i believe in this layout https://imgur.com/a/rwVP2bm the emby theater app is set to desktop mode(correct me if i'm wrong.) The issue for me is when emby theater updated it changed the default mode to TV mode, manually changing back to desktop mode does not work(it stays in tv mode), it now looks like this on my desktop, https://imgur.com/a/LZPYSYs Edited April 9, 2019 by suprasaiyan123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I don't quite understand what the issue is. You can only use the horizontal layout in tv mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) My home screen has changed on 2 systems after an update, yes the layout is still horizontal, however it does not show side scrolling posters or thumbs on the homepage like it used to. I'm only asking about the home page layout. How do I revert back to the layout I was using previously, which is this one https://imgur.com/a/rwVP2bm (this is not tv, horizontal mode.)

Guest asrequested Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yeah, I thought you wanted vertical mode? That's why I said to change that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) vertical mode doesn't work, my screen is now blank https://imgur.com/a/WWVrvkV Dont worry, restarted the system and it seems to have fixed it, apologies, this was way harder than it needed to be lol... Also desktop mode is broken, as noted above Edited April 9, 2019 by suprasaiyan123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Also desktop mode is broken What does this mean? Seems to work just fine here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 What does this mean? Seems to work just fine here. Maybe its just my surface book with its odd resolution but here https://imgur.com/a/LZPYSYs as noted on the second picture, everything becomes way too small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Try restarting the app after changing to desktop mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) a restart didnt fix it on my pc Edited April 9, 2019 by suprasaiyan123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 That doesn't make much sense because the horizontal home screen is never allowed in desktop mode, so you should not be even getting that far. I would make sure you've installed the latest version of the app. You could also try clearing app data by uninstalling and then reinstalling.

suprasaiyan123 3 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 strange, it is 3.0.6, i will try a reinstallation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) To be clear, vertical is what you see in the web app. By using the vertical option, it should look like the web app. so it would look like this: which is just like what you said you wanted Edited April 10, 2019 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
