Apple TV image cropping in Folder View

[cp41 42]

On the AppleTV Emby app I have noticed (since November) an issue when using the Folder View for Movies and/or Mixed Content Libraries.
Specifically, whatever orientation the first item in the display is situated seems to dictate the dimensions for all images in the folder, which results in artwork either being cropped on the top/bottom or on each side.

For instance, in my Mixed Content Library (on Folder View), when I sort by FileName, the folders are listed first (which is great) and I have custom artwork for each folder that is in landscape.
Prior to November (which is when I installed Emby 4.9.1), the primary image for each item would be displayed in whatever orientation was defined (be it landscape or portrait).
Since the first item in this view is landscape, all items in this view have landscape images, which crops the top/bottom on any Media Item which has a primary image as Portrait.

 

On the flip-side, if I choose Title as the sort method, then the first item in the view is a single Media Item, which has its Primary image in Portrait orientation. But what that means is that when the view gets to my folders, with their primary image in landscape, the folder art gets cropped on the sides into portrait.

My main reason for thinking this is an AppleTV issue is that the Web Interface, as well as the Emby Apps for iPhone and iPad do not behave this way. So far this has been local to the AppleTV app. I have observed it on all the AppleTVs I have used. They are all running tvOS 26.2 and the Emby App version is 2.0.3 (2).

I wasn't sure if this was something other people had experienced or brought up.

Please try the next release, thanks.

Do you mean the next release of Emby (4.10.0.2 beta) or the next release of the AppleTV app (which I haven’t seen yet)?

I am currently running the 4.10.0.1 beta.

Okay. Will that be App version 2.0.4? I haven’t seen that available yet to update.

Not sure what the version number will be, or when, but there should be a fix in there when it is released.
