Where is the Poster - Displaysize-Feature gone ?

[ostyde 1]

Hi, I'm a long time subscriber to emby and was always satisfied with it. I use  a server on my Synology NAS and also one on Windows11. My Client is mainly a Zidoo UHD-3000.
I always prefered the Android App over the AndroidTV app. One Feature I love most is that I can display the posterview (and all others, banner,fanrt etc.) with about 6 differnt sizes from very small to very large.
Since I need a system reset on my ziddoo few months ago I cant find any adroid version with the postersize option. Also the latest versions dont work at all on my ziddoo, the keep freezing during start/logo display.
I have tried son many differnt arm7 apks..... KI told me it would be a server issue. Server side I'll always go with the latest Official one.
Can you tell me why the Poster display Option is gone...at least on my side ? If its gone which is the latest version that supports it. Thank you very much.  Chris

PS: Now KI tells me I have to go back to Embyfor Android v.3.2.05 or 3.3.02. Can you confirm this ?

LOL. I'd assume that's AI in German: KI (künstliche Intelligenz).

HI, it hasn't gone anywhere. Where are you looking for it?

Hi, It was on one of those Locations, It was a pull down or opended a new site with 6 sizes I think, very small, small, medium, large, very large. or similar.

That's quite an old version. I'm using 3.5.71 and it's still an option there.

Can you update? At least to the latest store version (3.5.55)

[ostyde 1]

I was already on 3.5x it wasnt there. ButI will try again. Thx

Cant find any 3.5.55 arm7.apk...only apkm Bundles which my Zidoo cant read.

Try this link.

Thank you for the link. I installed 3.5.56. Unfortunately the same. No Option for postersize. AI (SI) wrote a while ago that the app was changed to detect automatically if the device is a phone, Tablet or TVBox/TV. So if the device is touch or with remote. And on Touch devices there would be no option for postersize anymore and handled different. My Zidoo UHD-3000, and I think most Zidoos, report back to be tablet. Could that be ?

hi, what version of android does the device run? what version of the android system webview is installed?

[ostyde 1]

Its Android 9. Whatsmybrowser.org says chrome 78.

[Luke 43533]

OK, it hasn't been removed, but it's not showing because the rendering engine on your system does not support the features that it requires.

Can you update it to a newer version of android, or if not, can you update to newer versions of the android system web view and/or chrome ?

[ostyde 1]

No, I cant update that. It  comes with the firmware which Is the latest. 

		v6.4.68 beta is the lates firmware from 2022. And I used it since than.   Im wondering while it worked for over 2 years on many emby updates, and now its gone. Sadly I dont remember the latest emby APK where it worked. Could it be that I must use NOT the nodpi version and instead a 320-640dpi verion of the app ?  But all I read ist I should use arm7nodpi for the zidoo UHD3000

[Luke 43533]

Maybe you were using our other android app on the Zidoo ?

[ostyde 1]

No, it was the adroid-app for sure not the adroidtv app. Well, maybe it will work on some version in the future again. Maybe I try the 320-640dpi version sometime. I dont like these large posters (and only 6 in a row) and the very large items on the mainpage.
