    AndroidTV client library layout defaults

    Default layout is used on app start, but preferred layout is used on subsequent loads.

    Hi All,

    I have a slightly odd problem with the Android TV client.
    In display preferences for all libraries - I have the following settings:
    • Image Size: Large
    • Image Type: Poster
    • Grid Direction: Vertical
    • Enable smart screen: Off

    When the Jellyfin app or my device (nvidia shield) is restarted, they seem to switch to a default view for the first time a given library is entered.
    All subsequent uses of a given library follow my preferences with no further intervention required.
    The TV and Movies libraries seems to default to smart screen, where Anime library appears to default to a horizantal list of small posters.
    If I press back to exit the library view, and re-enter it, the display preferences I have saved are used.

    So for example:
    • I press "Back" to close the Jellyfin app, returning to the Android Launcher
    • I click the Jellyfin icon to open the app
    • The top row of my home screen shows my libraries - Anime, TV and Movies.
    • I select "Movies"
    • Movies loads the smart screen
    • I click "Back" to return to the Jellyfin home screen
    • I select "Movies" again
    • I am presented with a vertical view of large posters.

    Is this a known issue, something I've done wrong with my client configuration, or something as yet undiscovered?
