that was a lot of work refactoring.

I really love the look Now, need to add in indicators on the top menu and thinking of a clean blue underline to show which tab is currently selected.

 

Scrollable Main View that doesnt hinder the side or top menus

4K MOVIES

Comedy

 

i still need to add an imageFactory to cator for different scenarios. 
 

frickin lush tho… and it really loves a 4k display 

Are those 4k ultra hd banners on the posters from the cover art plugin?

thanks

Hey bud… I’m having issues with resolution on android at the moment. Not sure if its an emulator issue or a bluestacks issue, I don’t have any native android devices to properly test. Still need to wire up some more pages and navigation. Been swamped with stock counts and audits and supporting customers. So not had any time to work on it.

@Cheesegeezer still keeping an eye on this updated version and loving the progress you are making! Can't wait to get to play with it! Looking good

[Cheesegeezer 3096]

I've gotten some energy back and started to play again with the project.  And that is Thanks to @VicMoorewhile we were having a chat on Teams and it really came about because of the lack of an ebook reader built into emby.

I only just added in the Login screens for this new version.  There is still soooo much work to be done, but the fundimentals are there and is just a case now of creating layouts

Heres a wee video to wet the appetite. Hope you enjoy

Thanks crazyFace lol  

It's a long way off any form of a release for testing just yet.  

If you want a roadmap then here it is.  The first release will be Windows only.  

1. Finish off Details page and implement the top menu commands
2. Create the Library views.. when entering Movies there will be 4 or 5 layouts to select from... Coverflow, List, Thumb, Poster and Minimal(Logo View)  Mockup are completed so it's a case of translating them into XAML and MVVM.
3. Implement Video Player
4. Deal with Collections, Music, books, audiobooks and Channels
5. Implement Audio Player
6. Implement code for XPlatform Idioms.

 

Here is some ideas on the Library Views

List Views

 

A variant of List View (Logo List)

Coverflow - Flat

Coverflow - Cascading

 

QuickList

Thumb View

 

Poster View

 

Actor Bio Page - Along these lines

I know, its broken record time, but this kind of details view would be cool if you would be so kind -

and library view, boringly similar, but with the info at the bottom replaced with your standard row of horizontally scrolling movie / TV / whatever posters would be most pleasant, as another option.

arbee mate, i have a roadmap and i need to stick to it, feature creep in development stage is counter productive.

it will be easy to add an extra view in at a later stage. Not all those views will make it to initial release but at least i know what im aiming for.

cheers

[arrbee99 1683]

Fair enough. It is your (excellent) creation of course...

Just upgraded the CommunityToolKit.Maui.MediaElement and you can see what is installed from the package

[Cheesegeezer 3096]

Good Day everyone been playing with the VideoPlayer today.  Just fancied not creating UI's and just to implement it.

Some work to do with the Video OSD now, but the basics are there.

Heres a couple of videos for you. First one is just for seing it launch.

Second Video is pretty cool with Audio Selection and Casting

 

Video 1 - 1080p content

 

 

 

Video 2 - 2160p DV8 HDR content

This is looking great, some of the views you have there remind me of the old days skinning XBMC/Kodi

I don't run windows but I can wait for something this special, plus I know it's a long way off being ready. Just keep chipping away mate, this will be gold!

[Cheesegeezer 3096]

Thanks Jim. I really want to get this to Linux, osTV, Android TV, LG TV and Samsung, unfortunately after reading a lot more into MAUI, it looks like they have decided not to support TV versions, although it was on their roadmap. 
so would be windows and Mac desktop and android and iOS phones and tablets. So still a large reach.

LG will have to be a standalone app anyway which is JS based. 
 

Anyways, im on the standalone music app at the moment, and thats progressing nicely.

I have a Android tablet plus a iOS phone. It's a shame about ATV but I understand, you never know things could change.

Standalone music app? Not seen that yet, point me in the right direction...

Edit:

Found it
