Completed .520 / .521 thumbs bug

[DrWatson 62]

There is a bug in .520 and .021 that if there is one season that is missing a thumb image none of the seasons will display (nor will the folder image).

 

Best illustrated by scr shots

 

 

^ Missing a thumb.jpg in season 4

 

then after adding a thumb.jpg in season 4

 

 

There needs to be some code added to use an alt image if no thumb exists. Took a long time to find this and while it is a minor thing it will effect everyone who doesn't have pristine metadata.

 

I not sure if it effects movies as i haven't checked.

 

Cheers

Good find

[chessdragon136 677]

I've just had a look at this and I can't see what's causing it.. I'll try again tonight

[CBers 7083]

Not sure if this is related, but if I enter a TV episode from the Home screen (Next Up), exit and re-enter the same episode, I often get a background image that doesn't relate to the TV show.

 

Not sure if anyone else can reproduce this ??

[chessdragon136 677]

I really cannot replicate this - I can see that you are running this in the Samsung Emulator - Can you tell me what errors are reported? I can see the counter had not updated in the first image so I'm relatively certain it would have hit some error..

Sorry for the lack of log posting 

 

Here is the error in the emulator although i'm not sure if it will help or not - if no one can repo i guess i will have to start to look at my set up - but it is a consistent error in the emulator and on both of my samsung tv (h6400) the issue didnt exist in .517d (if that helps at all). Man I wish swagger worked it would make stuff so much easier

Thanks, I will try and simulate your initial report tomorrow by deleting one of the season thumbs from a series. 

[Yogi 367]

Yes I have the same problem as well,everything is fine when all season have a thumb,but if one is missing no seasons show at all.

[chessdragon136 677]

Thanks for the log, definitely does help! - Someone  made a typo - getBackgrouundImageURL

Would only happen if the item had been played (entire season) and there was no thumb image - No wonder it was a pain to replicate!

Didn't realise you were working on this app as well.

 

Good stuff.

I pushed version .522 with this fix included for those who have not changed it locally.

I can reproduce this at will.

 

This is on my TV, not in the emulator.

[chessdragon136 677]

Ok if it is tv only not emulator what is probably happening as has happened before is that the TV caches the code and it has not updated correctly

 

Can you please uninstall the app, turn off tv (off at the wall as well) and reinstall. IS the only way i know that works best.

[im85288 1493]

Just checked and I cannot reproduce that at all. It is programmed to select a random background from the series...for a bit of variety.

 

Can you post a screenshot of a TV episode with the incorrect background (after following the advice above first)

[CBers 7083]

Will do.

OK, I think I have sussed what is happening.

 

If I return to the HOME screen and re-enter an episode (in this case an episode of THE LIBRARIANS), I get the correct backdrop:

 

 

If I re-enter, I get a non-series related backdrop:

 

 

 

I think the issue is that each time you return to the HOME screen, the backdrop changes to a random image, but if you re-enter the episode before the backdrop has changed, that becomes the backdrop for the episode.

 

If I wait for the HOME screen backdrop to change, then re-enter the episode, all is fine.

 

So it's a timing issue, perhaps on my part, but a timing issue none the less.

 

Hope that makes sense.

 

(Apologies for pictures).

I know whats wrong @@CBers - Doh you just beat me!

I really need to know - Does your home screen have 1 or 2 lines on it? As in Next Up TV on its own or Next Up TV and something else

 

Basically, due to the time it may take to find a random backdrop, i put that code in a function that displayed it after 1 second, so if you navigate away from home too quickly once returning you will end up with the issue you're having..

 

The code for the homepages differs in that the 1 item homepage doesnt have the 1 second wait, and the 2 item homepage does. @@CBers if you have only 1 item go into settings, pick a second homepage item and then repeat and see if it still happens

 

Thanks

[im85288 1493]

Yes that is a good error report, possibly something to do with the change recently made to always have different backdrops on the home page...I think Chess will have an idea on this one.

 

@@chessdragon136 - I have played a bit with channels and have most of it working (images displaying correctly etc)...but the playing of an item (I only tested trailers) is not doing anything and I am not set up to debug. Should I commit my changes and if you get a chance can you look at the playback issue?

 

EDIT - I committed my changes anyway as they only enhance the channel images. It's very close to working correctly

Edited January 14, 2015 by im85288

[chessdragon136 677]

I can fix the issue when i get an hour, basically need to set the backdrop timeouts to a variable and clear them when navigating away.. 

 

@@im85288 - Have you made any changes to the video player / transcoding scripts? If no then feel free to commit though please change the enableChannels in Main.js to false, or one of us will accidentally push out a build with it enabled by mistake. It may be worth starting a PM on this as I've tested with the ITV channel and it seemed to work fine...
