Roku - Album & Artist images in Full Music View

[ginjaninja 533]

Currently the full music view does not use the primary image (folder.jpg/the square one) for artists and albums. These are the better populated ones on the fetchers.

 

I think it would be best for jump in albums/artist elements to have priority in the view as the other elements take longer to generate and i believe they are not calculated until needed..so 9/10 times the user can jump to artist or album quickest. (Yes it is preferable to get to them by the main view :-) )

 

Ps the current use of artists refers to album artists so it might be worth a name change.. an actual jump in list for artists would be useful..as well as ensuring the image laden all artist/all albums/genres elements were off screen ..un calculated until needed..thus speeding up ui?

 

Its interesting that the roku client can display album artists (currently show as artists) so quickly...the web client, samsung, mbc and mbt clients take 30 seconds+..but the roku client does it in < 1 second.. maybe the roku dev could advise the others if there is an opportunity to make their uis as responsive.

 

Thanks for considering..
