tvOS - Back to go back ?

Hey,

I really like the look of the new skin and was really looking forward to today's release, but on tvOS it needs a bit of tweaking. (Or perhaps I'm missing something and would gladly be informed).

On more traditional skins on 3.6.2 if I was in a folder, eg. Movies, I could press left to pull out the drawer and sort movies, show only unplayed, or update the library. If I pressed back, it would go back a level. I don't think I used the drawer ever beyond the initial setup, but it being there didn't hurt. "Back" though, I used constantly. Now, if I press back it pulls out the drawer (now at the top), and to actually go back I have to press back a second time.

Can I change this behaviour to just have back go back?

Thank you

Agreed. This feels too clunky- after initial setup I practically never need to access it so having to go through it constantly is a pain.

I rather like Ariana the way it is. It's more like other apps on the Apple TV and I use that section a lot.

Personally I think when you’re at the top row in the movie/tv folder(library) you should be able to swipe up, on the remote, to bring out the menu options then swipe down to make it disappear just like the Plex app, instead we have the case having to press menu twice to back out which is annoying.

Would be great if behaviour of the button would be user selectable, much like the way you can choose the default action of playing a movie (play, resume, information, or ask) or whether to use the Siri trackpad features of the remote or not.

+1 for this behaviour. I also bought this up during the Test Flight.

Pressing back should take you back a screen as the current behaviour differs from almost every other skin/app on the platform.

Besides from that pecinko has done a great job on this skin :)

overall : i love the skin you made !
