BETA: Experimental Guide view for Android

We have a new experimental Guide View available for testing that should behave better and have less glitches.

On the latest beta you can enable it by going to Settings -> Debug and enable Experimental Guide View.

progress!
I've been playing with it and noticed a couple things.
PG UP/DN - it seems that the selection jumps a page, but the grid jumps 2 pages.
PG DN has trouble with the end of the list and leaves the selection on whatever it selected on the 2nd to last page down.
it's actually kinda hard to nail down consistent behavior, it seems the more buttons you press (page/arrows) the more confused it gets.
going to a different screen and back to guide (triggering the experimental guide pop up) seems to reset the behavior

hopefully that makes sense, and you can see my logs.
thanks for the attention on this matter! :slight_smile:

@Shaggylive I don't see any diagnostics from you

sorry forgot to submit diagnostics on the tv. done now.

Feels more like I’m using the guide on my Apple TV (not that I use channels on android tv a hell of a lot).

Logos seems to take a good while to load and doesn’t seem to have any cache for them.

Is this upgrade a navigation upgrade or visual upgrade? Or abit of both?

How can I install the beta? Unfortunately I’m using an Echo Show and side loading isn’t allowed so can install from the Amazon store.

Any show highlighted that is 240 minutes or longer will not advance to the next show, but it will go back to the previous show. Sometimes it seems after this happens the guide locks up and I press the back key to return to current time on the guide. Occasionally while using the guide, I also crash back to the OS.

Sent diagnostics from client.

Just enabled on my onn 4K Plus. Page up/down doesn't work so switched back. It's a must have with a large library of Live TV channels...
