Android TV - Skipping chapters does always work correctly.

[stonedog 2]

When skipping chapters in the Android TV version of the Emby app, the wrong chapter seems to be registered sometime. This issue seems to happen when opening the chapter selection just before the natural lapse into a new chapter. For example, I open the chapter selection just before the end of an opening to skip the title sequence. When selecting the first main section, which the chapter selection defaults to, then the incorrect chapter is selected, it will skip back to the start title sequence. Looping through the same process will then result in the correct action being carried out.

Android TV app version 2.0.79g on an Nvidia shield
Server version 4.7.6.0
There are no errors messages shown on screen for this issue

Hi.  Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares?

Doing this for this issue seemed like a waste of time. The interface for chapter selection doesn't appear in the same way. In the android TV version of the app pressing on the remote up causes the chapter selection to come up and it defaults to the next chapter. In the android version of the application the chapter selection has to be selected from a menu item "chapter or info" then it doesn't always default to a selection as it is built for a touch screen. Because the interface is quite different around this key functionality (for this bug) I do not believe the two versions are really comparable. 

I did test it a number of times and the selected chapter were always the correct chapter.

Hi, actually it is built for a TV interface, it just happens to be slightly different. Can you try again with the latest version?

Hey Luke, sorry for the delay in reply, what do you mean by most recent version? would you be able to provide a link? Sorry, if this is a stupid question, I think I have the most recent version of the plain android app installed and the most recent version of the android TV app.
