barong 6 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 As per a previous thread, it has been mentioned that pressing UP on the remote D-Pad will bring up a shortcut to the Chapters menu during playback. Does anyone else know of any other shortcuts that apply to Android TV using a remote? My TV remote also has dedicated buttons for Subtitles and Language selection, is it possible to get these mapped to the relevant shortcut in the OSD menu? I'm sure other Tvs would have similar buttons on their remotes. Also, when selecting the [COG] menu item, it brings up info about the file being played eg. resolution, audio format etc. Could the file's original frame rate be added to this information? I'm really liking the ATV app, I used to use Kodi but that had some playback issues with certain files on my Sony TV. So far Emby does not have these issues and everything seems to be playing back smooth with the Exoplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hi. Thanks for the feedback. We need to update our wiki article for the app to include the keys that respond but there are several depending on where you are. My suggestion right now would be just to try them and see what you discover. The subtitle and language buttons aren't currently supported but we can probably add those - assuming your remote is using standard codes for them and passes them through to the app. We will also look into the original frame rate. Thanks! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psk1212 0 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I found out a solution for this, had to download an app that supports Sony Bravia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Just noticed the Frame Rate value has appeared in the Stats for Nerds. Thanks for adding this in. Edit: just noticed another remote shortcut related to Stats for Nerds... You can toggle it by long-pressing the SELECT button on the remote during playback. Much easier than drilling down the OSD menu.

Let me know if I can provide any other info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are multiple keys on my Harmony remotes that can easily be mapped to toggle subtitle and languages on/off or to bring up subtitle and language list. Any ETA on when these will be added? I love everything about Emby, just can't deal with these two missing shortcuts. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Hi. We can look at it but it is only a few clicks to get to these during playback now and you can also select them before playback on the detail screen, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not when we want to toggle on and off multiple times throughout the course of a movie because some people object to having subtitles on but when some passages are inaudible, the subtitles must be turned on briefly, which always leads to fights with the watching party because the big OSD obscures parts of the screen and interrupts the flow of the show. The subtitle ON/OFF via shortcut at least should be implemented and then later maybe one day a smaller or alternate (small and slim) version of on-screen menu can be designed to provide quick jumps to essential keys without taking over big parts of the screen. Thanks for your consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if we do a shortcut, it will produce the subtitle menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
