Can we chuck a context menu on the searched items on TVOS? It would be super handy if we could get a list of actions by just long pressing on the items in the search screen, just like we can on the normal grid items. And it links in with what I said about having one on the “Watching” list too .
Thanks!

Now that the return from trailers is working correctly I came across the same need in search results.
It sure would be handy to be able to get the context menu from the search screen so you could play trailers from multiple results without having to go to each movies preplayback screen and then do the search again to get to the next choice.
It would be great to be able to get this
From long pressing a choice on this screen

One comment on 8.2.3’s “Context menus for Emby, Jellyfin, and Plex”, works great! But it looks like on just Apple TV devices the context menu is not available for searched items:
Doing a top-level search for “xyz” will show items matching “xtz” in the carousel .. and long pressing that item on iPhone & iPad brings up the context menu.
Doing the same search on Apple TV against the same server and long pressing the same item does not result in the context menu appearing.. 
(The item can be played just fine on ATV)
Do other people have the same issue?
