Possible new Emby customer with question about TV Guide scrolling speed on Firestick 4k

[jhr1948 0]

Hi, I'm trying the monthly Emby premiere because of pressure from people I know that are urging me to leave Plex because lacking Live TV features.  I definitely like aspects (like number zapping), but scrolling up/down on the Firestick 4k is too slow.  If i hold down(or up) on the remote, its as fast as me single clicking down (or up). 

 

Is there some setting i can adjust to give me a reasonable scrolling speed?  At this point, this is stopping me from continuing after this month and waiting until it gets adjusted.

 

Thanks

On devices like the stick we do slow the scrolling down a bit because the little processor in there just has a hard time drawing elements on the screen much faster than that.

 

What exact version of the stick do you have?

Thanks for the quick reply

 

I have the new Firestick 4K, which is definitely zippier than past sticks.

Okay, I'll try and relax the restriction for that newer model and see how it goes.

 

Thanks.

That would be awesome.  Right now, that is one of the things that is holding me back.  

 

Please understand not trying to be pushy, but would you have an ETA? If i was going to commit to Emby, I was going to go lifetime after the month expired.

 

Thanks for the quick response

The change will be in the next beta release of the app.

Do i still need to follow the pinned thread in beta testing for Fire beta apk?

Yes, but this beta will also be going to release probably within the week so you could just wait for that if you wish.

Noticed a different for sure.  Not trying to be nit-picky, but I wonder if it can go a tad faster.  Don't get me wrong, there is a night and day performance, but i'm considering moving from Plex and thinking of using Emby full time (instead of Tivimate, an iptv app).
