gcw07 347 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 So is version 1.17.2 a beta or official release? It updated a little while ago. It is the current beta release and once Roku approves it, it will be the current official release too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini__me 23 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Are there any videos of the roku app in action with Live TV anywhere? I know there are loads of screenshots, but you can never beat seeing something in use. Cheers mini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Not at the moment unfortunately. I'll try to find someone to make a video of it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The latest version (1.17.2) has now been published to the Roku store. It should be hitting your Roku's the next time it connects to the Roku server. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelon 159 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If a movie is part of a collection, the collection is shown. If I click on the collection to go inside of it, the application crashes, and it takes me to the channels screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I click on the collection to go inside of it, the application crashes, and it takes me to the channels screen. GC - you may be running into the issue I had when I first implemented this. If you supply the collapse parameter on the query for the contents of an actual box set you are going to get thrown into an infinite loop because the server isn't paying attention to the fact that you are requesting the contents of a box set and returns the box set all over again. I suggested the server should probably handle this to keep clients from having to manage it but it may not have been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I haven't implemented anything on it, so it must be some sort of server change. I don't see anything in my movie section on the web server so figured it had not been implemented yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14862 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 @@Luke, does the server API now collapse movie queries by default? Does it handle this potential infinite loop situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) OK, but then this feature is currently broken as it doesn't do anything on my movies on the web server. And apparently it breaks the channel too unfortunately. Edited April 1, 2014 by gcw07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Here is a screenshot of my movies in the web client. Doesn't appear to be doing anything for my collection: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cevrcz11ajt5rl1/Screenshot%202014-04-01%2009.30.26.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36886 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I don't think this particular issue is an infinite loop. It's handled by the server, assuming clients are using it as advised. Since he's not explicitly adding the param, he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ok. Someone will have to collect more information then that for debugging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikuf 663 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) A few more goodies coming out of the bag of tricks you will all see them very soon. The new options from the * menu Filter By Sort By And view options Not quite feature complete yet. But it should be out in beta very soon. Edit: Just thought I better add Grant is doing all the heavy lifting and doing an awesome job of it too. If you are using the official Roku client please take a little time and add an honest star rating. If you think there is something that really needs doing drop a feature request in the fr thread. If something is NQR let us know by submitting a bug report. Cheers @ all. Edited April 2, 2014 by Tikuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user29 2 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi, How do we update on our roku - should It happen automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikuf 663 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi, How do we update on our roku - should It happen automatically? Yes it should happen automatically (the features in the scr I posted above have not been released yet). Everything prior to the above post you should see in your client now. If not you can go to settings on the main screen and select system update and it will update the channel to the current release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user29 2 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 in my preferences I have 1.17.2 - is this the latest version?? The system update - seems only to do ROKU firmware not channels.. I am still unclear how to get the latest version - any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikuf 663 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) That is the current version. The system update will do channels if there is an update to be had. The current version doesn't include the filtering options The next version you see will. Edited April 3, 2014 by Tikuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
