mouse not working in latest version

[rikiwi 32]

We're still looking into it, thanks.

In the meantime when I'm watching in the lounge I use version 3.0.3 for recorded TV, so I can skip the adds. I use version 3.0.5 for movies etc.

So it's not a biggie, just a bit of a nuisance.

Keep up the good work Luke. [emoji4]

Ok thanks. So how do I stop the auto update every time the app opens?

Can you please try this version:

Just unzip and run it portable. Thanks.

Just ran that version, unfortunately it has the same problems as version 3.0.5

[rikiwi 32]

This problem is still an issue with me, with additional problems, making Emby Theater unusable.

 

After being away for a week I installed the latest Beta version of Emby Server - 4.1.0.13

I then opened Emby Theater - Version 3.0.3 (this is the only version that was working for me)

 

Please find attached screen shot of the Theater Home Page.

 

The 2 options at the top do not respond to any keyboard or mouse input.

 

Let me know what else you need to try and fix this.

Try restarting the app and see if that fixes the tabs UI.

[rikiwi 32]

I have tried that numerous times to no avail. Although if I click on any of the 3 items on the top right I can get to their contents, although they look very weird. e.g. clicking the Home Screen from Settings displayed the attached screen shot. And no scrolling is possible.

[Luke 42077]

You may need to use the latest version then.

[rikiwi 32]

As I have said previously, Version 3.0.6 does not work as once the progress bar ui has disappeared I have no mouse control over video play. This necessitates me having to leave my lounge, go to the server machine and use its keyboard every time I want to fast forward past TV commercials. Not ideal. I could get another keyboard for the lounge but shouldn't have to as Emby Theater didn't used to have this problem.

As a workaround I can use my phone app and Chromecast to the TV. But I much prefer Theater interface.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I do believe it is GPU related.

 

For those still having a problem, please try this version of the app:

Thanks.

Hi Luke

 

Thanks so much for trying to find a solution to this problem.

I Just extracted this file to a folder on the desktop and gave it a whirl.

 

Unfortunately it plays any video file fine but on clicking the mouse the video just paused playing and no progress UI is displayed.

However the mouse cursor does become hidden after a second and reappears on mouse movement.

So some things are changing.

 

Please let me know if you need logs or anything else.

[Luke 42077]

Can you try the version in this thread:

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/46763-theater-mpv-test/

Making sure to first go into video settings and reconfigure them. Thanks.

[rikiwi 32]

Hi Luke

 

I installed this version - https://www.dropbox.com/s/zj75bqjajgjerey/theater.zip?dl=0

and went through all the settings, trying all video options in the settings.

BUT I'm getting the same problem as the previous version with no mouse control or keyboard control except for the Esc key  to exit the player.

 

Let me know if you need anything else.

[rikiwi 32]

Not sure if this will help;

Yesterday I decided to install the windows Store version of Emby Theater and it does not exhibit the mouse control problem.

The downside for me using this version is that the video quality is inferior to the Emby Theater for Windows. 

[Luke 42077]

Thanks for the info.

[rikiwi 32]

I've just installed the latest version, 3.0.8 from the website and mouse/keyboard control has changed yet again.

The only thing I can do with the mouse id stop video playback. The only keyboard control is the Escape key to get back to the previous screen.

Using the arrow keys has no effect.

At no time does any GUI get displayed.

[Luke 42077]

Yea I'm not really sure what's going on there. I think it could be gpu-specific. What video settings have you customized?

[rikiwi 32]

I have left all video settings as installed.

I can provide screen shots if required.

[Luke 42077]

What gpu do you have?

[rikiwi 32]

Its an - AMD ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series.

Its quite a few years old now.

I've been thinking of building a new server, just haven't got round to it.

[rikiwi 32]

Some more info, hoping it will help.

 

This morning I read the posts started yesterday - https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/72982-overlay-missing-on-308/

about the GUI overlay missing.

 

I wonder if the two problems are connected?

 

I can now partially control Emby Theater with my mouse by following the tips in the above post.

I can fast-forward and rewind by hovering the mouse pointer until the text box appears so I know where I am.

The only other text box that is displayed is settings, but clicking this has no effect.

The windows controls in the top right corner also work, so I can still go from full-screen to windowed and also minimize and close whilst a video is in progress. Escape brings me back to the previous screen.

 

From the comments on the other post it may not be related to specific graphics cards
