4.8.080 update: emby theater not showing Live TV play button

[revengineer 142]

Following occurs after update to 4.8.0.80 server running on Windows with emby theater client 3.0.20 also on Windows. From home page, when I select Live TV, then "Guide", then pick any show from the guide, I get a view that does not include the Play button. It seems, that buttons are outside the view at top of screen, but I cannot scroll there. See picture below for example.

HI, can you try restarting the app. Are you still seeing this? I can't seem to reproduce.

[revengineer 142]

I restarted both server and client but it did not fix the issue. But I found the problem in the process. I have my emby theater in a window in the top right quarter of my 4k monitor when the issue occurs. If I drag the bottom left corner to make the window somewhat bigger, the screen re-renders and the play/record buttons show and I can scroll the window. This is a new issue with v4.8.0.80 and is perhaps related to the now overlay window style. So to reproduce, just shrink the emby theater window.

Smaller window and slightly larger window comparison:

What was the resolution of the window when it ocurred?

[revengineer 142]

Well, the transition seems to depend on the monitor resolution. On my 4k monitor is happens roughly 1440x884 pixels. On another monitor with 1920x1200 resolution, the transition is at 982x591 pixels. The measurements are roughly as the it is hard to get the exact transition and then I screenshot the window, which also has some uncertainty. I am having a hard time understanding why you cannot readily reproduce this. All you have to do is shrink the windows until it happens.

Can you grab a screenshot of the entire desktop when this happens? Thanks.

@Luke: Following up, were you able to reproduce? Anything else needed?

[Luke 42077]

Please try restarting the app and see if it's resolved now. Thanks.

This is indeed fixed but this must have occurred after the 4.8.1.0 update where I originally still observed the issue. I expected the needs for a server or client software update, but this is apparently not the case. How did this fix get to me?

HI, the update came through Theater, not the server.
