Many menus with a variety of issues

[Gobaan 7]

There are a number of menus that are either difficult or impossible to interact with from the Emby Theater client. The worst cases should probably be removed until they can be fixed

App Settings->Library->{some library}  --- this menu does not seem to be scaled to fit into the space. But worse, there is no scrolling action even though the cursor moves beyond the edge of the visable area.

{some person} edit image -----  (1) The "cursor" starting position is on "Help". This seems wrong (2) Regarding "Help": No links/buttons should move focus out of the app. A remote control cannot return to the Emby client from an internet  browser window. This button should probably be removed. (3) Why are there image options other than the main profile picture for persons? This just makes navigation more difficult

{some movie or show) edit image -> background image  ---- (1) after selecting an image, the cursor seems to "get lost". Moving the dpad returns the cursor, but in a weird place (2) When selecting from the table of background images, the cursor somtime disappears prior to making a selection. The onlt way to recover is to "go back/exit" to the image selection page and re-enter the background image selection

(in playback) stats for nerds ---- this menu seems entirely out of play in its location and format

App Settings-> Keyboard and Remote ----- no scrolling

"Identify" ---- after entering the search criteria, selecting an item works as expected. Hitting the "back/exit" button should return to the form with the fields still populated, available for editing

Text entry --- Not sure if you intentionally disabled all text entry GUI interfaces. I use a second remote with a keyboard as a workaround, but kind of expected that on screen keyboard to come back

Hi, we'll take a look at these. Thanks for reporting.

What were you trying to use to enter text with?

Text entry works fine with hardware. I was just asking if the on screen text entry, as in "Identify", had been removed intentionally. Not that I need text entry a lot, but without the GUI keyboard, it requires an additional remote or input device that has keyboard functionality, which is not always ideal on an HTPC-like setup.

We used to have our own home-built on screen keyboard. I guess the reason I dropped it is because it was a) hardcoded to be english only, and b), it seems most htpc users are running a keyboard.

All other platforms provide their own on-screen keyboard anyway.
