I have repeatedly asked for reduced button presses while in Discover and it is obviously low on the priority list.

This literally keeps getting fixed and broken.

I've almost given up on the new UI but keep checking the forum out of morbid curiosity.

It has behaved this way since day one... The KODI app however performs perfectly. When in Discover - select a program - decide to watch another program - press the back button and you're taken to Now Showing in Discover. However, the new UI takes you down a rabbit trail of clicks to get to Now in Di...

Any feedback on this...?

Nvidia Shield Shield Remote UI Version 20190903b When I navigate to Discover then select a program - watch for a bit and decide to select something else I press the back button on the Shield remote and I'm taken to Recorded then I need to navigate to Discover to select a program. Why am I taken back...

20190806 (beta)

On the Shield using Shield remote

Go to Discover choose a show
Go to that show and ask myself "why on earth did I pick this?"
Click the back button on the Shield remote (thinking I'll be directed back to Discover where I can pick another crappy show)
But... instead, I land in Recorded

I'm using the Shield remote. Perhaps it's just the Shield remote that's wonky... I'll test with some other remotes. Just tested one other remote and same behavior as Shield remote. While channel surfing from Discovery and hitting the back button does not return me to Discovery but instead to Recorded.

Suggestion

If the user is in Discover selects a program and decides to go back the UI takes them to Record. It would be far more elegant if the user upon clicking back would be returned to Discovery. Run that by the team.

THANK YOU!

I'm curious about the function rationale while in "Discover." (Android Shield) When a user navigates into "Discover" and selects a show it requires 3 clicks of the remote to "Watch Now." The UI assumes the user wants to "Record." Is it possible for your team to code the UI to default to "Watch Now" ...

I give up on the new UI.

Family has created a lynch mob so I'm hiding in the closest till things calm down.

Tonight I'm going to show them the Kodi HD HomeRun add-on because after test driving it I'm convinced they'll love it.

New UI is great except that on a Shield in Discover I select a show I have to scroll up to Title then left to Channel and then up to Watch Now.

Way TOO much effort just to Watch now.

One click should move to Watch Now.

Actually...

I have to come up with a good story to tell wife as to why she's missing several cookies from a batch she was baking as part of birthday present.

I stand corrected!

You were right! It was the "Use back end genre strings."

It just needed a bit to kick in. So in the time it took to restart Kodi and me eat a chocolate chip cookie my guide now has wonderful colors.

Thank you for pointing me to the precise spot that solved the issue.
