Back button is hidden after some idle time (Store version)

[Jake404 1]

What is the design reason for hiding the back button after a few seconds?

This is really annoying on touch screens. To know where the back button is, I have to first tap somewhere on the screen so it's visible and then tap on the back button.

For the most part using Emby Theater on my tablet works well but there is one big annoyance I always have.

 

In the top header/navigation (where your user icon is on the far right and a page/movie/show title is on the left) there is a back button. This back button fades after a second or two but it's very difficult to use your finger in the proper spot to get it to re-appear so you can navigate back. With mouse and keyboard I think you just move the mouse over that area and it appears again so it's not a big deal.

 

Can there either be an option so you can make that back button always visible or can it just be always made visible on a touch only display (I'd suggest if that approach were to be taken to make it part of the "tablet" display option but I find that the tablet display option in the theme is actually terrible on a tablet. lol. Or at least on my 8" tablet. I haven't tried it on a larger tablet.

We'll change this so that it's only hidden in TV mode. Thanks.

In TV mode it is by design. Just move the mouse to show button, OR switch to desktop or mobile mode.

Button is not showing, thats IS the problem. Desktop mode is not an option since than all very is small, thats why TV mode is selected in the first place.

 

Another issue i experienced (not to open new thread), is that in TV mode u cant login without keyboard on emby theater. On screen keyboard not showing if u are using

only mouse, tried everything, you just cant enter pass without a keyboard.

 

thanx

Hey @@Luke,

 

I've noticed in last two days that in TV mode (or when set to Auto for me) that the mouse movement is no longer showing the back button when you move the mouse. Was working fine till recently. I'm not using the store version, but the one downloaded direct from Emby website.

 

Also on a small point, I found that if the Trailer is not present locally and it goes to try to find it online, but doesn't find one, the screen navigation is removed all together. Even if I use Backspace button the app seems to have locked up & have to close and reopen. I've only see this once (and cant recall the movie now), as I mainly download them locally, but thought I would mention while on the subject.
