When I click on an episode, Stay on the current episode's poster

[chuwz 21]

Hello, here's how Emby is currently designed: When I click on Episode 4, the poster at the bottom switches to the poster for Episode 5 (as shown in the video).

I hope the poster stays with Episode 4.

In other words: When I click on an episode, it stays on the poster for that episode.

I'm not used to the current design, when I click on Episode 4, I want to see everything about Episode 4, including its poster. But Emby shows the poster for Episode 5 instead, which really bothers me.

Let's take a look at how Jellyfin does it: When you click on Episode 4, the poster for Episode 3 appears.

Well, it's pretty hard to use, too... but at least it's better than Emby, because in Jellyfin, I can at least see the poster for Episode 4.

 

Now let's take a look at how Plex handles this on TV: it uses a different design so that when we select Episode 4 to play, we see the poster for Episode 4—perfect!

 

In short, Emby should take a cue from Jellyfin and Plex—their designs are the way to go.

Of course, you don’t have to completely overhaul Emby’s current design; you could simply add an option that allows us to “When I click on an episode, Stay on the current episode's poster”

Hi, the "more from" section is not intended to show information about the current episode. It's there to help you get to the next episode.

why not just enable the poster on the detail screen? then you will see the poster for episode 4.

Hello, this solution works on the web, but it doesn't work on Android TV.

Because when I open this option on Android TV, The whole layout looks unbalanced and a little odd. That’s why Plex and Jellyfin haven’t adopted this design.

As shown in the image, you can see that Wholphin’s interface is much more attractive and harmonious.

Sorry, maybe I should start a new topic—the discussion has shifted to optimizing the Android TV layout.

In any case, if you don’t plan to optimize the current design, this option is indeed a useful alternative.

Hi, I noticed that the design of Emby for Android TV is exactly what I expected! I was pleasantly surprised!

(But I’d rather not use Emby for Android TV—it has fewer features and more issues.)

 

As shown in the video, when I select Episode 3 and press the down arrow on the remote, the following happens:

Episode 3 is selected in the “More from” section.

You said,

but the fact is that Emby for Android TV is designed to display the current episode.

 

 

So could you please bring this feature from ”Emby for Android TV“ to ”Emby Web“ and the ”Emby Universal App“? Thank you very much!
