Home Page Channels on GoogleTV Chromecast

Could the movies in the channels (rows) on the home page of CCGGTV be displaying thumbs or backdrops?

Portrait pictures (posters) are now displayed as a landscape with some blurry effect on the side.

Hi, were they previously displayed correctly?

Hi.  Can you show us a screen shot?  As far as I'm aware, our channels don't work on the new Google TV...

This is how it displays on CCGGTV.

No, they have set all tiles to display as landscape.

Hi.  Can you show us more context?  Exactly where is that row?

Thanks.

It shows on the home tab and at the last row (at least for me and in my country (Malta) - it is something that can't be edited anymore).

I also can't either say if the Emby row displays in supported countries such as the US or UK.

For instance, the Netflix or Disney+ channels rows only displays in selected countries.

Anyway, all portrait images are displayed now as landscape with blurred sides.

That's interesting. And on other devices it normally displays in poster aspect?

On Android TV (Nvidia Shield, MiBox, etc...) it displays posters "properly" as portrait.

Personally, I would prefer landscape backdrops/thumbs (series TV) than posters (Movies).

Yea the challenge is that I don't think we're aware of how it's going to display, so providing one size of image that will look nice on all devices might be a little tricky.

But we will look at improving it. Thanks for the feedback.
