AndroidTV Bravia 2015 Videos app file navigation

I'm a recent Sony Bravia W755C owner. It's comes preinstaled with simple Video app for playing files from USB drive.

 

My issue with the app is that it's interface is simply horrible. It presents videos like thumbnails with shortened titles and is impossible to navigate when there's a large amount of similarly titled videos in a folder. It's absolute UI nightmare. I can't find any options to change this to a list view with full titles (with scrolling if title doesn't fit) or something remotly useful.

 

On the other side bundled Videos app offers very fluid playback unlike other apps in the Store. Why is the user interface so primitive? Where are the options? My friend have older generation Samsung and LG sets which all have much better navigation. Is there something I'm missing? How to navigate large collections of video files from external drives?
