Just tested the following with fresh installs.

• Version 4.9.3.18 - Scroll arrows work correctly with all sections.
• Version 4.9.3.19 - Scroll arrows work correctly with all sections.
• Version 4.9.3.20 - Scroll arrows only work with "My Media" as the section type (1-7).  All other sections types fail to scroll.
• Version 4.9.3.21 - Scroll arrows only work with "My Media" as the section type (1-7).  All other sections types fail to scroll.

*Note: I have to make the Emby window small to make the "My Media" arrows appear.  "My Media" contains 4 items, Movies, Original Movies, Collections and Concerts.

how are you testing these versions?

I'm running a local proxy and snapshotting each version.

Thanks for narrowing things down @scottproI've tried an uninstall/reinstall & see no behavioral improvement... any update, @Luke?

Emby Theater has basically been unusable for the past week. The workarounds are onerous, and the devs have essentially been silent. 

As a user it would be nice to have some certainty that if I don't update anything on my end then I should be somewhat protected from breaking changes being pushed through from the backend. Or at the very least, some kind of quick resolution when problems are highlighted.

Could you please provide an update as to when or if the horizontal navigation issue will be resolved for the legacy version of Theater?

Hi there, can you please describe your issue in more detail? Thanks.

This topic involves Emby Theater v3.0.20 (Server v4.9.3.0) specifically. While I originally mentioned all fields on the Home Screen... Latest...', 'On Now',, 'Continue Watching', I have since found it extends to 'Artist' / 'Album Artist' album lists... pretty much anywhere horizontal scrolling is required. It doesn't. Across multiple Win 11 clients.

@scottprodetermined what changes introduced the problem & it appears to affect other clients similarly.

As there are changes in the beta server related to such functionality, I suspect accommodating them may have affected those of us running the stable server release?

As others have said - the left/right navigation arrows (that appear when "Enable TV display mode" is disabled) don't respond to mouse clicks, which makes convenient navigation impossible.

I'm using Theater version 3.0.20, and an older server version - 4.8.11.0
