Do you plan to use the new season view?

[MBSki 1114]

Emby recently added a new season view that changes how users can access episodes and view seasons. On the surface it looks good, however, Emby removed some functionality: 1) unwatched episode count no longer appears; 2) Users can no longer access the season context menu to make edits. IMO, both of these CAN be added, but since Emby doesn't plan to add them, I'm in the "Don't plan to use" group, and I'm interested to hear what others think.

Mobile/Web View

TV View

Where to find the option

Go to Display and scroll to bottom and you'll see a drop down for Preferred TV Show display. 

 

Edit: Go to http://app.emby.media. That web app gets updated more frequently than the local server web app.

Single Season shows only for me - have set it as default for all my users.

Nobody every complained about the Season View with multiple Seasons - the idea for the FR was for single Season shows to be 'flatterned' and that works very well now.

The show season folders for ALL seasons is just poorly implemented imo. 

So I guess that's a 'No' (agree) from me.

Still on stabil, so haven't seen it. 

I have an admin user for admin usage, that account will stay with the old way of seeing things.

Not sure about my viewer account, but will definitely try it out.

If I don't like it it will go back to standard.

I'm guessing you're accessing from the local server. Go to http://app.emby.media. That web app gets updated more frequently than the local server web app.

[Neminem 1518]

Ok will try that.

And yes only use the local ip and port normally. 

[Neminem 1518]

Don't like it, I want my season covers on the main view, of a show.

And i like to see how many episodes I haven't seen.

Because you're posting in support forum - you can open one in General Discussion (not a support forum). 

[Neminem 1518]

@MBSki can you add this to the first post.

 Go to http://app.emby.media. That web app gets updated more frequently than the local server web app.

So people can see the changes coming in 4.8, if they use local ip/port

Good idea. For some reason I can't edit. 

@rbjtechDo you think I need a moderator to unlock the first post so I can add the item above? I don't know why I can't edit.

I'm not 100%, but I think if it has had reactions to it, then you can't edit it.  A moderator should be able to change it for you or unlock it.

For me the "new" season view is nothing more than a solution in search of a problem. I see no need for it, as long as it remains out of my way I have no objection at all.

For me the old correct view is the only view that makes any sense.

You can still choose the old/existing view if you prefer.

Honestly, for me...this is the first feature that I have been tempted to go to the beta for.  I am used to a flattened 1 season view in all other software I use for video, and have missed it in Emby.  Ultimately, I will probably wait for it to hit stable, but I am happy it has been implemented.  It's mostly used for recorded TV stuff.  It's annoying to have to select a season just to see a description, when (in my use case) Recorded TV is almost ALWAYS a single season.

There is an option where you can just show all episodes for ONLY single season shows. The other option puts the episodes in tabs and removes the unwatched count and access to the context menu for seasons.

From a scientific standpoint, this is the most biased "poll" I think I've ever seen but we are watching.

As I mentioned before, we didn't dream this up ourselves. We are somewhat reacting to what users on a broad scale are used to seeing.

But, anyone who wants the old presentation can still have it and we can evolve the new view as necessary after some time has passed with a wide audience.

Thanks.

Well that was unbelievably inappropriate. I strongly suggest you remove that example as it can come off as offensive 

In regards to the poll, all of the forum users can weigh in. What we're showing you is that the design is flawed. What you're showing us is you don't care. I thought these test forums were to be used for review of designs and tweaking prior to release, but that doesn't seem to be the case. More and more often I'm seeing Emby release new designs that are half baked and poorly implemented. As a result, I don't use the new features even though I would if they were complete. It would be nice to actually have designs that were fully implemented, but that appears to be a thing of the past.
