sammy2 2 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I am using the Emby Android mobile app and the Emby Android TV app on my nVidia Shield. Before I installed the mobile app I was very frustrated with the feature set and interface of the Android TV app. Then I installed the mobile app and was so delighted with everything about the it. A few things I don't like about the TV app are the size of the icons on the home screen and no way to adjust them, one line horizontal scrolling in many places, under more (...) on the detailed view of an item many option are missing, the side menu for options when browsing a library. Go to the mobile app or the LG app (which looks very similar to the mobile app) and I find an interface that is close to perfection. 2
Luke 42077 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Hi, two apps is just how we started a long time ago but we're gradually working on unifying over time.
Sammy 790 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 You're running the mobile app on your ShieldTV? AndroidTV is a different OS than Android and the app is written specifically for that. Nothing wrong with liking the mobile app but can you post side by side screen shots of each explaining what it is that you like about the mobile app vs the TV app?

sammy2 2 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Posted January 27, 2021 Sammy, I don't blame you for asking because I was surprised too. It functions flawlessly. And my requirements are demanding. High bit rate and a variety of audio formats. My output goes to a receiver and i verify it's getting what it should. The complaints I listed about the TV app are mostly self expiatory.
