Hi, please can you allow us to set the number of items being displayed in the homescreen lists? Fixed amount options will be fine, for example; 25, 50, 100, 200?
Currently within a swipe or two of the ATV4 remote we can reach the end of the list very quickly.
There are 50 movies that are not watched on my hard drive. However, there are 30 movies on the main screen as not watched movies. I looked at all the movies there are 50 movies marked as unwatched. Can’t the numbers seen on the main screen be increased?
Go to the Library favorite on the home screen, select “Movies”, then scroll down to “Unwatched”, long press on that, and select “Add to Favorites”
That will give you a favorite on the home screen that will display all of your unwatched movies.
I believe the reason they limit the “List” view to 30 is that for those with large numbers of unwatched videos it would be too much to load in the home page to keep within the memory available for that screen. I’m guessing that’s why they limit them to 30 items.
I’d like to request an improvement for pinned Home Screen Collections on tvOS.
Currently, when a Collection is pinned to the Infuse Home Screen, only the first 20 items are displayed, even if the Collection contains more content. This makes larger curated Collections much less useful for navigation.
It would be great if Infuse could display all items in the Collection, or at least dynamically load additional items as the user scrolls horizontally instead of imposing a fixed 20-item limit.
From a UX perspective, this would make pinned Collections behave much more like native tvOS content rows, allowing users to browse the entire Collection directly from the Home Screen without having to open the Collection first.
Suggested improvements:
Remove the current 20-item limit for pinned Home Screen Collections.
Support horizontal lazy loading/infinite scrolling so all items become accessible.
If there are technical constraints, make the maximum number of displayed items configurable (e.g. 20 / 30 / 50 / Unlimited).
Many of us use Collections as curated libraries (for example personal playlists), and being limited to only the first 20 titles significantly reduces the usefulness of the feature.
Hi I posted this 6 years ago and again, I will ask for the option to ‘See More’ on all listings or collections that have a limited number of movies/tv shows showing on the home page. Apple TV’s are crazy powerful, and tbh, lazy loading (loading material after the initial page load) is not a big ask. All additional content can be loaded after the fact. I understand why you will only load X amount on page refresh to make the app feel fast, but the user should have the right to ‘see more’ whenever they see fit. Lazy loading up to 10x/20x/30x or more on click, on the same swim lane, shouldn’t make much of a difference. The Apple TV’s storage and performance takes the hit, but that is the users decision. It caches the artwork etc. on request of the user. The sole purpose of a media front end is to present the user with as much content as possible. The moment you restrict that, is the moment that all users feel like they cannot find or enjoy what they have.. It’s just a basic file browser otherwise which is hard to navigate. The Infuse app must not feel like a file browser! I cannot stress that enough! It should FEEL like a media entertainment app. Suggest stuff at random, show me more, and more, and more, and more… Get my drift? It’s basic media streaming UX
