aahmyu 9 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hello, On my Nvidia shield the app is not handling the line breaks in the descriptions at all, and keep displaying the `br` tags which is not nice. The web and android clients are displaying the texts correctly. I'm using latest beta of everything. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daedalus 430 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hi, we don't support html tags in overviews so I would suggest removing them. not only that, you don't support any line breaks in the overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14902 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 not only that, you don't support any line breaks in the overview That isn't entirely true. Whatever is being done here works (at least on Android TV)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daedalus 430 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 so you don't know what works and what not? interesting "(at least on Android TV)" consistency, embys hobbyhorse i've never seen any working one here at the apps i'm using 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 We've already said on this forums, it's not supported, there's your consistency. Until we're able to go through every single app and find a line break convention that will work, we do not consider it supported at all. If you want to hack it use use , then go right ahead, just be aware it will not work in all apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speechles 1917 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) @@daedalus For <br> to work usually requires entity mapping. Some of the Emby apps aren't doing entity mapping. The Roku I know it maps most html tags and removes ones it cannot render. This is the behavior you are seeing. While on Apple TV it would likely not work at all. They likely aren't mapping html entities within labels to their proper characters. Roku does for a few things(during json parsing) and I know <br> is one of those things. So like @@Luke said your mileage will vary. All the web based apps will work with it. Android, Theater, Web, etc... The only real issue will be those iOS devices. They might not be handling this correctly as it isn't a standard. There is no standard for line break/new line. Some use \n. Some use \r. Some use \r\n. Some use <br>. Some use <hr> and want the horizontal ruler line. A standard would be nice. You should make the feature request... lol Edited July 12, 2019 by speechles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daedalus 430 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 manually replacing fetched line breaks with the <br> tags is neither practical nor preferable if i can add and see line breaks in the edit box, i also should see them displayed If you'd like to see this done sooner, then please file a feature request topic and we'll be able to prioritize it based on demand. i've learned my lesson, won't happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
