Home screen banner text issues & gripes

[rechigo 368]

As of now, the home screen banner text does not wrap around the screen. The text just gets cut off (see photo)

 

It would also be nice to have a temporary "got it" as well as a "dont show this again" button to prevent the message from displaying every time.

Hi.  Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares?

Thanks.

We'll take a look at it.  Thanks.

But what if you change the messsage? Wouldn't you want the user to see it? That would not be possible if there was a "Do not show me this again" button too. The "Got It" allows you to collapse that item. It disappears. Suppose you update the message now "Server will be down Friday, June19th 5pm-7pm" but they used the do not show me again button. They now do not understand why your server disappeared. You get angry calls from family between the hours of 5pm and 7pm on Friday, June19th.

We could store the message on the Roku to know if it changes or not. Then the "Do not show me this again" could be possible since the app could know the message has changed and then is going to show it to you since it is different. That would be possible too.

At first I think we should just correct the issue of the text not wrapping and those issues. Then afterwards if we need to do something with an extra button we could perhaps look at doing that at that later time. But at first I think the bigger issue is the text is being cut off with just 1 line.

This feature is not designed for a one-time message.  It is designed as a banner to always be seen.
