MediaMogal 19 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I was going to use theater to setup my collects, but there is no copy or paste. When I go into the actual server I can copy The collection title, go down, identify and paste to search, same with select the files and creating a collection, just past the name of the collection. In theater I have to type out everything. This is time consuming. Is there anyway in a future update of getting copy and paste for Theater?

Luke 37110 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi, it's only in tv display mode that you can't select text and copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been an annoyance for a long time. The app is on a PC, there should be no difference just because it's in TV mode. That's ridiculous! Just because you've decided the primary control is a remote shouldn't negate the basic function of a computer. It's one of the main reasons I use a computer instead of a streaming device. I want the function of computer. I have the app in a window very often. Let it function correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaMogal 19 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 To be honest reminds me of the kind of stunt Plex likes to pull when they're trying to force users to do things only their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should work just fine in desktop display mode. Can you please describe the issue in more detail? Steps to reproduce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we allow it in tv mode, then we get issue reports of accidentally highlighting text and that's not something you normally want to see happen in a tv app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaMogal 19 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Sure. I launched Theater, went to movie series, clicked folders, selected a folder, high-lited the series title, attempted to rightclick and copy and no rightclick menu. Then in a series where there were movies that weren't picked up correctly I tried to copy and paste the name under identify and not able to.

Luke 37110 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Ok yes there won't be a standard right click menu because we're overriding that with the app's context menu. You'll have to just use keyboard shortcuts to copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause the statement that some might high-lite more than what they want doesn't really wash, since all one has to do is find a blank spot and simply click to unhigh-lite everything. Thanks for taking the time though, that's much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again tv mode is designed to mimic a 10ft tv experience. One doesn't need to use a mouse to highlight text on roku, Android TV, etc, so it's the same thing here. Desktop layout mode is what is designed for desktop usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the emby logic, but I don't agree with it. And to compare a PC to Roku and Android TV is offensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
