MBSki 1004 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Looks like Android TV received a new coat of paint with a fresh UI recently. Is that new UI coming to the Xbox One? Any beta test available? From what I can tell, this is the new UI: https://emby.media/emby-for-android-tv.html. I can't tell how old the page is, but it looks good. Better IMO than the current Xbox One Emby Theater app. I'm also seeing left navs on images posted to the Emby web site, but none of my apps have a left nav. Am I looking at old images or somehow missing an update in my apps? I'd definitely like to see a left nav to make navigation a bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We are gradually unifying the apps so eventually they will look entirely the same. The next update to the android mobile app will have bottom navigation for easier getting around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1004 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Ok, thanks. Hopefully in a beta test soon as I just joined the beta. Where's the left nav on all the apps currently? Are those old UI's in the pictures I attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Yes those are out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1004 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Ok, that's too bad. I like the side nav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think for mobile it becomes redundant once you have bottom nav. For TV apps, yes i agree it could be a nice way to jump around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1004 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Possibly. Depends how it's implemented. Looking forward to trying it out on mobile. I just tested Android TV and like the new interface. the side nav is nice too, although I'd rather have my libraries in the side nav rather than the same sections that are on the home page. Overall though the interface is much more pleasant and smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1004 Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 After using the Android TV app a bit more yesterday, I'm definitely getting anxious to see the UI come to the Xbox one. My only request is to allow showing the libraries in the left nav rather than a quick jump to home page sections. Ideally the left nav is user configurable so exactly what shows up is up to the user. In essence, if I only want to show 3 of my libraries in the left nav, I could enable just 3 to show. Can that be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36878 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 It's possible for the future. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
