@heulathis topic is specifically to discuss feature parity between the now semi-defunct Android TV app, and the updated standard Android app.

Your wishlist looks more like generic feature requests which are probably best suited for individual FRs or the topic you already posted this to earlier.

Okay, than please ignore what is not relevant for this topic.

After years of using Kodi with Embyforkodi next gen I'm now using the Emby app for Android  (v3.3.01) on my Shield TV for about a week or so.

I must say, I love the Horizontal version but there are a few things that I would like to to be added or we can adjust ourselves like is already possible in Kodi.

 

Photos

- When selecting the photo library I only see all folders with my photos but no options like suggestions, labels etc. (This is also an issue with the Recordings library and Collections)

- There is no option for sorting and there is no option to enable or disable text under the photo folders that shows me what is in the folders.

In vertical mode these options are all available. I hope these options can also become available in horizontal mode.

- On Emby for Android (Shield TV) there is no option for the screensaver, I could not find it. It would be nice to have a screensaver that shows photos from my photo collection with tag/label or optional other info displayed in them.

 

Subtitles

- I see there is only one language to select when searching for subtitles. It would be nice to have the option to select two languages like in Kodi, I can select English and Dutch and search will look for both languages.

- When searching for subtitles, pause video( optional yes/no)

 

Keymap for programming remote control buttons

- A keymap option for subtitle search would also be nice. I use Flirc USB to program multiple buttons on my remote for all kind of things but I miss the option for subtitle search and delete (watched) episodes or movies.

I tried the delete button on my keyboard and that worked but after programming it to my remote I need to press the button twice to get the popup to delete the episode or movie.

- A keymap option for syncing subtitles -/+

- A keymap option for syncing audio -/+

 

Sort order (Start screen app settings)

-  it looks like the sort order in the app setting start screen doesn't work like it was set. I have set latest media before resume watching but resume watching is always the first I see. Restarting the app doesn't fix this.

- It would be nice if we can have some more adjustable options where we can set all the available tiles in a theme? Like in Kodi I could create all kind of things and set the tiles where ever I wanted them with the option skin settings.

 

Thanks.

 

@heula please create new feature request topics. Thanks !
