VicMoore 558 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 In the virtualTvExample plugin the server communicates with the plugin via overriding tasks, like the example below. protected override Task<List<ChannelInfo>> GetChannelsInternal(TunerHostInfo tuner, CancellationToken cancellationToken) I am wondering if other tasks, not yet exposed in the plugin's code, can be overridden to add additional functionality. Of particular interest is when an item in the EPG is clicked. I am always grateful for your help. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hi, no, you can't override that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMoore 558 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 @luke have any improvements to the virtualTvExample code been made? More than anything else I need the code to play channel content one show after the other. I am willing to help in any way I can, or change my GUI in any way you require.

Vic You don't need code for that. That's not for you to worry about. That's for the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMoore 558 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 @LukeI was wondering if that was true. Can I send commands to the players like I do to control the playing of playlists? Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37071 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 When one file ends, it should go to the next automatically. If you're not seeing that, then let's look at an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicMoore 558 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 @pünktchenI am checking now, both browsers and TV clients. Do you have a work around? Have you tried sending commands like you do to control the playlists you send to the TV? Also, I have attached my latest code. I would appreciate your comments on the GUI. You are welcome to any of my code. No credits are necessary. Vic PseudoTV.zip PseudoTV.dll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicMoore 558 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 (edited) @Luke when the EPG is displayed, clicking on a movie under the current time causes the movie to play. When the movie is over, control returns to the EPG. I did notice when playing music videos that they did transition from one video to the next. However sometimes even clicking on a music video caused it to play only one video. Edited January 23 by VicMoore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's not something that you should try to implement. Instead we should focus on the new way that Luke has provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMoore 558 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 @pünktchenI agree. I will post to you the results of my tests later today. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMoore 558 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 @Lukeand @pünktchenI tested the virtualTVexample code. When using an Emby player on my android TV, and when using an Emby player on my computer (web client) when I click a show in the Live TV EPG it always plays from the beginning. This we already knew. The show will completely play, and when it ends, control passes back to the EPG. It should automatically play the next show in the EPG, but does not. An interesting point is that the time bar at the bottom of the screen is correct, including the start and end times. The only thing amiss is that the show plays from the beginning. I also tried sending commands to the TV while a TV show from the EPG is playing. The commands work just like they do for playlists. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1258 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 For me it does auto advance to the next show in Chrome and i'm using the same code in my plugin for Native playback as in the VirtualTV-Example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right so we need to know what apps don't auto-advance and then we can gradually look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMoore 558 Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 (edited) @Lukeand @pünktchenYou are right. Chrome does advance to the next show. I just checked Nvidia Shield and it does not advance. It's an android platform. Edge is another browser that does not advance. Vic P.S. I just installed Emby on a Samsung TV and it did not advance. So far, only Chrome works correctly.

pünktchen 1258 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The Windows store app also seems to work, not the desktop app. Will test it tomorrow a second time and also Roku. But i really wonder why we should do all the testing with every app when one of the many Lukes knows already which app has the function implemented?!

Luke 37071 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Anyway I'm assigning @SamESto look at it for both tizen and apple tv. It's low priority for him, but we will get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMoore 558 Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 @LukeYes I am sure. I tried using Edge again this morning just to be absolutely sure. It did not advance to the next show. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMoore 558 Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 @Lukeand @SamESany progress on fixing the players so they will advance to the next video when the current one finishes, or the issue of starting at the current time rather than always at the beginning of a clicked video? I know you are busy and I ask that you forgive me for bothering you. I am just excited to finish my code. I would appreciate and information that you can give.
