Emby for AppleTV 2.0.9 (1) with Emby Server 4.10.0.40 issues (part 1)

[DarkStar1977 124]

Hi Emby Team,

Even I moved to Infuse in 2024 as my main client in apple tv because the improved compatibility with videos, improved options on remembering speed, etc. After the release of the new server version I wanted to give it a try again to Emby Client and I've found some issues:

1st.- My Media

I've configured "My Media" with Scroll Direction "vertical" on the server:

This results on my web client to be shown:

Instead of this AppleTV App and iOS app are ignoring this configuration and presenting it with "Horitzontal Scroll":

2nd.- Music Videos:

I've a library with music videos that are shown by default with poster view:

When you enter a video and it's linked to an artist, even if the video itself has no backdrops configured, this shows images from the backdrops of the artist:

(No Backdrops configured for the video)

Images from Artist shown as backdrop for the video:

Artist Images configured in the Artist view:

Well Apple TV, ignores that and present the poster in the middle of the screen:

3rd.- Music

In web interface you can see the lyrics of a song if those are defined:

This option is not available on AppleTV even it was in 2022 and was removed:

WHEN will it be back ??

Additionally when playing a song from album view in apple tv (Go to an album, select a song, play), in the lower bottom you can see "More from ARTIST" where other albums ar presented, below this there's an option with "More Like This" where in all the cases I've tried does nothing than showing exactly the same as "More from ARTIST". I expect that if the client suggest more like this present different options than More from Artist, otherwhis this is unuseful.

4.- Options - Login

Most of the people that deploys the client on apple tv has more than 1 user at home, and does not want to "close session" to change user.

In the past there was an option to "Change user" but this is still not back yet, so WHEN ?

 

Hope this helps.
