I think Luke is cooking something delicious for us... it's been over a month since a new update came out, not even a beta version

First time posting, but I just wanted to say that the new TV interface in the Android app is actually pretty nice.
I've been a long time Plex user and have been playing around with Emby in the background weighing it up as a replacement.

Whilst each have their pros and cons, one of the biggest factors for me has always been the Android TV interface, as that's my primary consumption device.
Previously I've been giving the edge to the Plex app, but after seeing mention of the new TV interface in the standard Android Emby app, I downloaded it and gave it a go.

The Vertical view is almost exactly what I want out of an interface, except for one small thing, which I suspect might already be in the works, and that's how the libraries are displayed on the home page.

Personally, I don't really like having a dedicated row for 'My Media', especially since when used with the enhanced home screen, it just displays a random movie/show when the library is the focus, with no (obvious?) way to go to that movie/show.

The Horizontal view however incorporates the library options into the menu bar at the top of the page, which is asthetically more pleasing to me.

So I guess I'm asking if it's currently planned to incorporate the same sort of menu bar for library options on the Vertical view?

Hi.  We're planning a side menu much like you can get now with the web app.  Thanks.

Wow, really!? So, going back to the past and adding the fly out side menu for the Android Standard app in vertical mode? Awesome!!

Not really.  The one that was there before was just a condensed view of all the rows on the home screen.  Not a side menu of your libraries and other options.

LOL @Luke you don't put any time into making emby look good, your all about the money brother, money first emby looks last is obvious. You don't even care that emby looks old as the 1990"s you think it's ok ? LOL.

Personally, quite like Kodi Copacetic theme.

But Emby - everyone has their own definition of nice (or not), hence playing with css or Cheezegeezer's lovely stuff.

Put a jpg file of your choice named poster.jpg in those folders and Emby will pick it up. Alternatively, hoover over the folder on that screen, click the 3 dots, click edit images and add the image there...

Tailoring the eye-candy to everyone's satisfaction is impossible, you're going to have to do that yourself

Honestly, I think it'd do well to take inspiration from some of the great skins people have made for Kodi. Maybe even reach out to them to see if they are capable of helping you build a better UI for Emby.

This one is my particular favorite:

Arctic Horizon 2 (kodi.tv)

Our TV app detail screens look pretty much like this nowadays.
