[Peter Nent 71]

Thanks & best regards, Peter

Hi there, what issue are you referring to?

Not sure what the original poster was specifically concerned with, but how about this one:

 

And this one:

Thanks!

I'm using the new Emby Windows v2.211.2.0 and I'm using the original Microsoft RC, but several buttons don't function as they used to do in MCE and should do now as is explained in several postings of several users. Some examples:

• When looking Live-TV, the buttons channel-+/- don't functions, nor do the nummerical nummers: 0 until 9 work...
• When the EPG button is pressed, the EPG appeares, but doesn't disappear after pressing any other button there after
• When the info button is pressed, the info appeares, but also doesn't go away
• In general: after leaving (for example) live-TV (or Movies or...), back to the main menu, the RC-position is set to the default position (upper left), in stead of returning back to the last choosen position, making manouvering far more easier. 
• Etc.

Please test it also yourselves and make using an RC with EMBY attractive again (if it helps you: try to let it work as it used to do in the original MCE).

Thanks & best regards, Peter

Update for Xbox

The new Xbox beta 2.212.0 (due in a few hours) will fix RC issues in the Xbox app.

Those are all things for @Luketo get right at the side of the core application code.
The Windows app is sending the correct button codes but the core app doesn't do the right things with those inputs.

Thanks

Something I noticed is that when you are viewing a collection - you can't select an individual movie in the collection. I end up grabbing my keyboard/mouse and moving to the movie I want to watch.
