"Play next episode automatically" - Customize Timing?

[bubba_nuts 3]

Howdy!

The next episode prompt sometimes pops up before credits roll and can be distracting.  (Usually it pops around 45-48s seconds but some shows have only 30s credits.)  I appreciate this feature, but would rather err on the side of starting a little later.  Is it possible to adjust this?

 

Thanks!

Hi, what Emby app are you seeing this with?

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 installed Emby for Android 3.4.20 and after enabling "Play next episode automatically" and "Show up next preview", the prompt pops up with about 20s left in the show I tested.

Is this time hardcoded, based on the length of the video file, or something else?  Do the different Emby apps do it differently by design?

Lots of UI nuances between the Android TV and Android versions (when used side by side on my Shield), so I'm not sure I want to switch.

Hi, yes it is 20 seconds. It is possible that there could be some variation amongst Emby apps. What UI nuances are you referring to?

This is just from playing with it for a bit today, but here's some observations so far...

• During video playback, pressing up navigation in the Android TV app goes directly to the chapter select.  With Android app, its down, right, down, and then you can select the chapter.
• Holding the navigation button on the Android TV app toggles Stats for Nerds.  This popup also has more details in the Android TV app.
• Skipping music forward and backward is 25 seconds in Android instead of 10 seconds in Android TV.  (Not a big deal, just an observation.)
• Scrolling right and left (presumably up and down also) in the home screen is about 50% snappier in the Android TV version.

@bubba_nutshave you explored the playback options in the app?

These are configurable.
