Android TV music improvements

[bogdansrb 5]

I am using my android TV and the emby app as my main music source. I would like to suggest some improvements:

- there is no "songs" tab in the top menu (along with artists, genres, playlists etc)

- long click on a genre should bring the play/shuffle/add to queue etc menu

- the now playing screen should be massively revamped, and it should look similar to the one on the web

- there should be a way to scroll through the track by selecting the scroll bar

- the interface should be updated to the same look as the android app

- the "screensaver" now playing screen (the one without the buttons that appears after a while) should have the left-right buttons scroll through the track as the default action, and the middle button should pause, not go to the previous track

Hi, can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and let us know how you think that compares?

Yes it's better but hardware acceleration seems to be missing. Animations are very slow and it's quite hard to navigate.

Why do you think hardware acceleration is missing?

Well it's the only app that's that bad. Or maybe TV apps need more optimization for the lower processing power?

Hi, in what way? During video playback?

I assume he's talking about just moving through the app.
