Emby client - Feature Requests

[horstepipe]

Hey

So first of all, I really like the UI on TVOS, thank you very much! I'm just doing my first steps in MrMC and collected some features I'd love to see in upcoming versions. I'll list them ordered in my personal priority, from high to low.
Do you have a public todo list to avoid duplicates?

#1 - The toughest one I guess. But with a growing library this gets more important - Speed up the loading time for movie lists - somehow lol
Maybe something like only fetching the first 1000 items and go on fetching when user is browsing the list...? Or some kind of pagination (which doesn't break the letter navigation lol). I'm at 25s to load a list about 7000 movies which is okay, but could be better

#2 - More filter options - please see post# 6
A quite essential one in my opinion: Add a filter (or list) for genres and tags.

#3 - Show movies of the same collection in movie info view
A basic and essential info. If you open info view for Terminator, you should notice Terminator 2,3,4,5,6..

#4 - Add the ability to navigate to top and bottom of a list
So you're in your movie list which is sorted alphabetically. Then you change the list order to recently added to see the newest stuff. But how do you get to the beginning of the list now without scrolling forever?

#5 - Global search
Guess most people have multiple movie libraries like 4K movies, foreign movies etc. Currently it's not possible to search all movie libraries with one request, which probably can be frustrating for users who don't know in which particular library their requested movie is.

#6 - Make background opacity adjustable in default skin (if possible)
In my personal opinion it is too much white and too less viewable fanart

Thanks for your time,
best regards

any thoughts or chances of implementation some of these amet?

[amet]

This should move to requests, we accept and discuss the requests internally but there is never any promises on implementation.

Sure, sorry I missed that section.
One more:

Recently added tv shows should better list the show (which episodes were recently added to) instead of all single episodes. Because if you add a whole season, the widget is being flooded with these episodes and it‘s hard to see other recently added content. Not sure whether Kodi natively can do it, Embuary does it, maybe you can grab some code there.
Thanks for evaluating.

The list exists in EmbyCon, so you should be able to add it without hassle.
There's

Code: Select all

EmbyCon -> Global Lists -> TV Shows -> Recently Added 

which shows every single episode as you're currently provide the widget.
But there's also

Code: Select all

EmbyCon -> Global Lists -> TV Shows -> Latest

which is the one I'd prefer very much.

Just fyi

about my request #2 - More filter options:

@amet I saw in another threat that you advised the option "flatten hierachy". That's quite hidden and does what I needed, so that request is partially not valid anymore. Only thing I'm missing there is the Tags button. In Embycon it is

Code: Select all

EmbyCon -> Emby Libraries -> [i]movie library[/i] -> Tags 

This should be a quick one hopefully, although I think that tag filter was implemented quite lately in EmbyCon and you seem to utilize an older version. So my fingers are crossed you're willing to add

hello

just some more thoughts:

If you can't do much about

#1 - Speed up the loading time for movie lists

I'd give

#5 - Global search

a higher priority.

Because if you're able to search your desired movie in home menu, you don't have to spend the time waiting for the movie list finished loading.

Best regards

just fyi:

I began moving my Emby tvos users from Kodi to MrMC, their biggest complain for now is this:
