Sorry if I’m missing something – I’ve tried and tried to find a way round this. But, unfortunately, it appears that the scroll bars have been removed from the Rpi GUI, and e3/e4 have seemingly become unusable with a large album collection without a touch screen.
The arrow keyboard shortcuts in the library are broken (although they work in the playlist). Without these it’s actually impossible to access many of my albums because the only way to navigate through the lists is via the ‘jump to a letter’ bar. If you have more artists or album titles starting with the selected letter than can fit on a single page there is no other way to scroll through the entries. The Date page is a non-starter as it has no active ‘jump to’ bar to start with (By the way, thanks for adding that Rern).
When I say the arrow keyboard shortcuts are broken, what they are actually doing is is somewhat weird. As an example: regardless of where your current position is within a list, if you press the downward arrow, in say the Album Artist list, it first jumps back to the beginning of the list and highlights the very first entry. The next down arrow key press will jump to the next artist entry and open its album submenu and highlight the first album, and the next down arrow key press will jump down to the next album entry and open the track list. This happens in both the Rpi GUI and a remote browser (Firefox in my case).
Plus, and I think this has already been reported, attempting to open the ‘System’ page simply results in the busy screen endlessly flashing until a forced reboot.
