Please add option to enable clickable headers in TV mode.

[Smitty018210 143]

First, I want to say that from my understanding, the decision to remove clickable headers from TV mode was made in response to feedback regarding navigation issues—specifically the aggravation that some had having to click up and down too many times. 

I used those clickable headers quite often, and their removal from TV Mode did not make me happy.

At this point I would like to apologize again for the way I previously expressed that unhappiness. My tone in past posts was not appropriate, and I regret being a jerk to the Dev Team in the past about this topic. 

That being said: Back to my request: 

I prefer to use a remote control, when navigating Emby which works best in TV mode. I know that clickable headers are still usable in desktop and mobile modes, but using a remote in those modes is frustrating. Emby frequently loses focus, and the experience of having to tab endlessly to regain focus is annoying. (If you know, you know)

This leaves me stuck between two choices: using desktop/mobile mode for clickable headers with poor remote functionality, or using TV mode with better remote control support but without the clickable headers.

For the past year I've using desktop mode with a mouse, and I really miss easy navigation I had with my remote. 

I respectfully request that clickable headers be reintroduced to TV mode, but with a toggle option in the settings. This way, users who do not want them can disable the feature, and those of us who used them/don't mind the extra clicks can re-enable it.

Even if this option is disabled by default and has to be enabled in the menu setting, having the ability to turn clickable headers back on in TV mode would make a huge difference for me and likely for others in a similar position.

Please consider reintroducing clickable headers back into TV Mode in some way:

Thanks

I guess I am the only person who used these and the old "see all button" in TV mode.

After a lengthy chat with @Lukeover the past few days about other issue I was having.

I am once again going to bump this topic back up to see if we can finally get some traction on it.

@Luke

I'm sure this hasn't even been a blip on your radar for a while now, but have your given anymore thought to bring back clickable headers for TV mode as we had discussed? Maybe a setting?

Yeah, I think I am the only person who sadly cares.
