I would hope (I think) that if a random item can be displayed at the top just when Movies or TV or whatever is selected, that it could include some art as well, preferably as illustrated back on page 35, maybe with play buttons and changing horizontally to another random item after 5 or 10 seconds or so.

The random item thing just needs to go away. 

@Luke Are you listening? Can you please remove the random item display on enhanced home screen? The enhanced home screen should function like the ATV app.

No it doesn't. It might need to be an option...

IMO it needs to go. It provides no value. The method the ATV app uses is much cleaner.

You never know - if it could be refined - show me random sci-fi, show me random 40's movies, show me random 4K movies...

Backdrop videos works fine and are a wonderful step forward.

Unfortunately I discovered a further issue. When you come from the main page and go to a detail view every thing is fine. The theme music is playing and if a backdrop video is available this will be played, too. But when you came from the play mode of a file neither the theme music nor the backdrop video is played. 

Addendum: 

I also got the impression, that calling a detail view is a lot of faster when you call it from the library overview as when you call it from the horizontal view.

 

Request:

My wife fell in love with the horizontal view because it suggest a random movie on the main page. Can we have a similar  function on the vertical view, too?

There isn't a specific randomization function, but the focus preview option for the vertical home screen does do this when a library is selected.
