Android TV Emby app collections is missing from home screen setting option.

System specs.

Homatics Box OS: Android 14, EmbyServer Beta 4.9.1.34, 2.1.23g registered

Apple TV box 2022 iOS Latest.

If I look for collections option in the android tv app I can't select it to be on the home screen layout or appear on the homepage of Emby. It appears on the chrome browser on the web and in settings.

It also appears on Apple TV home screen as its own row.

It would be nice to see a collections row on android tv, any way It can be added as an option for the android app? Examples:

Install Universal Android app from the store (search for "Emb").

What exactly did it say?

The tv says "Sorry, I didn't understand" and it won't pull up the universal app.

It's definitely there. I don't know why it's sometimes hard to search for. I think you can use the google play store web page to invoke an install on your TV device:

Yes, I was able to invoke the install from my android phone to Homatics Box R 4K Plus. In play store on both devices, I changed my email account to match my premiere account. Collections are now visible on the app.
