The new video player on Android TV no longer displays the text overlay in the upper left corner when showing the play pause etc. You can get the info, but it requires navigating menus. Can we please not remove such a useful feature? Being able to tap a button and see that the player is or isn’t tra…

Haha, well, that and the lack of Nerd Settings - but you’ve said those are coming, hopefully soon! Any chance the ugly background/“next episode” previews can be altered?

Settings > Library to enable them [Capture] Then in each individual library Movies, TV etc… they can be turned on/off [Capture.PNG]

Then ‘generating’ them will be the next hurdle. I’d set it to generate ONLY during scheduled maintenance and give maintenance another two hours per day to work on them - shouldn’t take that long.

We want to eliminate “which device has the bes…

That’s what I hoped for. I love the sleekness of preplay on all the devices already fully UNO-fied. @JuiceWSA Keep your fingers crossed. We may finally see actor thumbs on Android TV. :grinning:

I actually like the way the new player handles fast forward, rewind, and pause (with the relative seconds). I find showing the actual position and time left to be a form of spoiler.

The PostPlay screen (as we call it) will be getting some updates (though I’ve not looked in a while to see exactly how much work there is to do), and I’d need more details on the “ugly background”
