There is an awful bug in the Fire TV app right now which treats all rows in a library as new separate rows - so if i move the cursor selection to any other column, then move to another row, the cursor resets on that row to the far left. This is cumbersome if I want to move two columns over and any rows up or down, I have to move over to those columns again in the other row. Also if I then move to a different column and move back to the original row, the cursor retains memory of which column on that row it was positioned. Why has this suddenly changed from a traditional grid matrix? Having any library load all rows as separate objects is very poor design.
Another issue is when loading any collection on my Android TV Plex app, I can only view it as a single row on the bottom of the screen. This becomes an issue as soon as a collection gets more than 5 items added to it (for example the Marvel Infinity Saga). Why can’t I view collections as grids? This is also very poor design as most of the screen real estate here is completely useless as it currently is - I should actually be able to see items in a collection, I shouldn’t have to scroll tediously through an uninformative row on the bottom of the screen. Note that this is not the experience on the Fire TV app as I can view it as a grid there. Why is the design so extremely different for two platforms which should have a nearly identical experience?
Are you seeing this behavior on the Library “tab” of your libraries? Or just the Recommended tab? On the Library tab, it behaves as you’d expect: When you move over three columns and down one row, you end up in the third column of the second row. Is this not what you see on your Library tab?
On the Recommended tab, where each row is legitimately a separate object (Recently Added, Recently Released, etc…), it behaves as you’ve described, but I expect it to in that case. If I’m in the third column of Recently Added and I move down to Recently Released I expect it to move to the first column; there’s no relationship between the two so it should take me to the beginning of that section.
