Emby Android App on Android TV - Resume button not in focus

[luca1970it 35]

I am posting here because I am referring to the latest version of the Android app released today. I waited for a few updates hoping the issue would be resolved, but this annoying bug is still present.

Let me explain: as you can see in 'Figure 2', this issue does not occur with TV Series. For example, if I stop playback after 10 minutes, the app immediately asks if I want to resume from where I left off. As shown in 'Figure 2', this option appears correctly right away.

 

 

Now let's look at 'Figure 1', attached below. As you can see, when watching a Movie, when I stop playback, that annoying bug appears: the app highlights 'From Beginning' instead of positioning itself on 'Resume' as it should. This happens frequently, about 8 times out of 10 it defaults to 'From Beginning' rather than 'Resume'.

I know you are working hard on this project, but could you please fix this very annoying issue? Thank you.

My Setup:

• Server: I run your server on a QNAP NAS, updated to the latest available version (I am using the BETA versions).

• Client: I use an Nvidia Shield TV Pro, which, as you know, runs Android TV (not Google TV).

I am trying to use this App because I see you are updating it often, unlike the dedicated Android TV app.

 

I hope the attached screenshots clearly demonstrate the bug I am experiencing.

Thanks in advance to the support team for your help. Have a good evening, everyone!

Definitely an issue with the standard Android app, and has been reported previously.

When backing out of playback to a detail screen and there is a resume point, the 'Resume' button should have autofocus but it doesn't always work.

Hopefully @Lukecan find a permanent fix for this annoyance.

Hi Luke, yes, I can still reproduce the issue. I've already tested it with version 3.5.29 from GitHub, and the bug is still consistently there. After watching for 15 minutes, I stopped the playback, but it still shows the 'Play' button instead of 'Resume'. Thanks for the support!

Hi Luke, yes, I can still reproduce the issue. I've already tested it with version 3.5.29 from GitHub, and the bug is still consistently there. I forgot to mention an important detail: this issue is also present in your latest beta release. The anomaly only occurs during the very first stop after starting the video; in that case, it shows 'Play' instead of 'Resume'. However, if I continue and stop the video a second or third time, it correctly shows the 'Resume' button. It only fails on the first stop. Thanks for the support!"

I can reproduce this every time.  It doesn't happen if I start a movie from a chapter not at the beginning, but if I start a movie from the beginning and either wait the required number of minutes or skip a few chapters after starting from the beginning it defaults to play from beginning.

Steps:

• Start movie from beginning
• wait , or bring up the chapters and skip to a chapter later in the movie
• now back out to the details page 
• focus is on Play from beginning

v 3.5.29

Edit: doesn't matter if you pause first, or just click Back during play, it always goes back with focus on play from beginning.

Hi, I'm sorry but absolutely not. The focus issue on the 'Resume' button still has the same bug on my Shield. Sometimes it highlights 'Resume' and often it goes to 'Start from beginning.' So, unfortunately, the bug is still very much there, even in the new beta.

I've attached this video to show you what I mean: the focus skips the 'Resume' button and automatically lands on 'Start from beginning' after stopping.
