[FR/BR] Android TV 4.1.1 UI Navigation


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

My sister and her husband access my emby server from a Matricom G Box with Android 4.1.1 installed.

 

Navigation is extremely difficult as UI selections are not clearly represented. You have to look closely at each item to actually see what is selected. Is this a known issue? if not, can it be looked into please?

Not sure the ATV app is supported on that low a version.

 

Hopefully @@ebr can confirm.

@@schmitty, are you sure you've installed the android tv app, or did you possibly install the mobile app instead?

is it even possible to install the ATV app on a vanilla Android device?

That's why I'm wondering if he's actually installed the mobile app instead.

App can be installed on Android > 5.0  AFAIK regardless of whether it is Android TV spec hardware or not.

 

Obviously, issues arise with the cheap boxes.

 

So on 4.1.1 it probably is the mobile app.  If it is theTV app then it will be unsuppotable.

 

Go buy a fire stick or fire box now!!

Quite possibly... I installed the app on my parent's box which is the same box, and it works fine. I'll check it out when I go there this weekend.

When navigating the UI in the the android app on a Matricom G box which is running Android 4.1.1, you can not clearly see which item has focus... you have to look closely, and only see a very slight change, which is the position... no highlight or other obvious change to the focused item

Well in the case of the mobile app there isn't really a focused item. You just point and click, or tap.
