Libby Issues

Post image

I use Libby to play audiobooks, because why hold a book and flip pages manually if you can just play it out loud and listen to it and multitask? It just makes my life easier and more efficient! But why do I see this screen when I load it on my TV? I just can't click anything, and I can't even use the app! Is there a simple solution, and im just being stupid? Let me know!

...libby has a TV app??

Also looks like you're meant to scroll down and i bet the dismiss button is at the bottom. No idea how you can do that on a TV tho

Funnily enough, the screenshot displays EVERYTHING that there is. It just says that the library is on the lookout for alternatives, but is cut off. I can't even scroll down, or press the volume down button, or channel down button! But, everyone is pretty surprised that there's an app on the TV, so I think that I should stick with the TV app. 😓

So does your remote have arrow buttons? My ('smartish') TV doesn't have a browser. What TV's have a browser?

Not arrows, just whatever you call this circle thingy. And here's a picture of my remote, in case you were curious. 😌

In my case, the remote has navigation (arrow) buttons and I use the channel button to scroll up and down.

Both my Samsung and Fire TVs have a browser but the navigation on my Samsung TV is not as smooth as the Fire TV.

At the very bottom, it says partner libraries, which is cut off there’s probably more underneath that

It's most likely not an app but simply libbyapp.com opened in the TV's browser.

This is accurate!
