Just as I say it, the WMC UI is gone.

I don't get the WMC interface anymore. I get this:

Which app? Or web?

The WMC UI app of course.

I wish I'd thought to take a screenshot when it also happened on my ROG Ally, but in any case, it didn't draw any of the graphics the first time, and then went into that interface. Gonna try reinstalling now.

Which app?

Android, Windows-Electron, Windows-WinUI?

Windows. I uninstalled, reinstalled, even reset the app in the app section in Windows 11.

Other than starting in windowed mode, it's the same. Already logged in and all.

Does the window frame look like this?

It even starts with the whole WMC rendition of the introduction... I'm sure it's the correct app.

Hm - two options to try:

  1. Go to Settings >> Display >> Theme and see whether you can choose "RealWMC"
  2. Close the app, delete this folder: C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Packages\Emby.Client.WMC.WinUI_wjpzhde6g1vst\ and restart

"RealWMC" wasn't there, but "Windows Media Center by softworkz" was.

That fixed it.

But when you go into app settings, you get this, which is similar to what I saw when this issue first started, that I wished I'd taken a screenshot of:

But as long as I back out, it stays fine.

This should be fixed with the next update already..

Thanks for your help. I would mark this as solved, but I guess that's not needed here.
