Emby on Androd TV recommended and recent issues

[Hispanico957 23]

I attach the photo of Emby on Android TV (Nvidia Shield Pro) to ask for a clear improvement in management on the home screen.

First of all, the recommended films don't rotate, they've been like this for two months and I remember pointing it out some time ago but I was told that they were random... but in fact they don't undergo updates.

So why not delete this list and replace it with recently added movies.

Is it possible to add this option in Emby on Android TV?

 

Thank

Hi.  Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares?

Thanks.

I think that the developer needs to set up links with the Android TV interface to ensure that recent content from Emby or something else is highlighted, as NetFlix does very well !

Because as it stands today, Emby is not interactive with Android TV

I hope it can be implemented

I believe only AndroidTV Apps can interface externally with Android/GoogleTV ...

[rbjtech 5284]

For some reason, this has been  marked off as complete in 'the list' - see the thread below - yours is item 33.

I do feel some sort of review is needed on this long list, as a lot of items I see crossed off the list (by whom?) have not been fully implemented or not implemented at all in the Android replacement ...

• 33. Add Google Home channels (Next Up, Suggested for, etc)

Maybe @Lukeis not aware of the fact you can launch emby titles from the 'home screen' without the need to go into the emby AndroidTV app ...

Uhmm ok... but at this point the developers need to make an upgrade in order to make it truly suitable for Android TV because as it is now it makes no sense

No one has fessed up, but I suspect @Lukeis crossing these off without consulting us. Luke, are you crossing these items off? If so, can you please consult with us first when a change is made in beta so we can confirm if it's done or not?

That's exactly what that should be.  It is loaded with your unwatched movies sorted by date added (descending).  As you add or watch items that list should change.  However, many new versions of Google TV don't even have the ability to show those channels so they have not been getting tested a lot.

My Shield Pro continues to show recently added movies .. the changes are not immediate .. but they appear maybe a week or so later .. ?

Do you ever switch users in the app?

Not often but now you come to mention it - all those listed/allowed are from my account.

Switching users should produce a new list and I'm wondering if maybe that is the only time you're seeing it change content.

As I said, this feature hasn't undergone any testing in a while because it is only available on some older versions of Android TV and it is hidden so that most users never even know about it.

Thanks - I'll test it later today and report back.   It's not an essential feature granted - but it does save a few seconds if you see something in that row that you want to play directly.

I'm happy to be able to contribute to improving the interface and integration into Android TV.

With various user tests (even changing) only live TV and suggested films appear in the choices (see screenshot) and never the "recently added" option which in my opinion would be the most convenient and useful solution for users on Androd TV, as NetFlix and Prime already do

 

Thank

The "Suggested" row is basically recently added.

What isn't showing that you think should be? Did you activate it? It looks disabled in your screenshot.

The standard app has implemented this, and it is an android tv app.

Sure i test many times but dont work and so i disable it. Please don't think of me as stupid. 

It doesn't work and therefore needs to be fixed for android tv...

Well, partially.  It has implemented the "Play Next" channel content but not any of the custom channels.  However, as I mentioned previously, Google is phasing these out (probably because pretty much no one was using them since they are so hidden) so I'm not sure it is worth us spending the effort on trying to implement them in the standard app.

Even "Play Next" is starting to be somewhat hidden in newer versions of Google TV.

How exactly did you test?

As others have said, I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it but no "recent" changes to the movie, as well as trying to exit and re-enter and lastly to change user and then return...but nothing solved it.

The option to show recent movies on the NVidia Shield (Android TV) home screen does not work and needs to be fixed
