FrostByte 5049 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 1. After clicking the letter and the list of album artists is displayed you need to click the album artist twice to go further. The first time you click the highlight box goes away, but you still need to click a second time to go further. This only happens in Album Artist and works in Artist 2. Only songs from one album are being displayed after clicking on the album artist. The number of songs displayed in the green circle before clicking on the album artist is correct though. No way to advance to the next album. This seems to work in Artist 3. Play All, Queue All, Shuffle, and Instant Mix are not highlighted when you are on them like it does when on a song. The counter in the bottom left is the only visual way of knowing where you are. This happens in Album Artist and Artist 4. Album art does not change when scrolling to down to a new album when under an Artist. App lists all songs from all albums, but only displays the first Album art when scrolling down. 5. When under Artist the album name is not displayed on the top under artists name like it is when in Album Artist 6. Feature Request: can the app be changed to display individual albums once clicking on an Album Artist or Artist and then the songs once you click on the album. Nested like it is on the web I can take pics if needed for any of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjaninja 536 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) A separate issue i have noticed...when i ask the client to return ARTISTs ...i see artists which are not in the collection..eg i search webclient and they are not there... I mention it because in the alpha server area there is a music scanning ticket open..because these artists as far as web client goes have not been ingested into library yet..i wonder what api you are using to return artists...how come the server is providing results which the web client doesnt see...really odd..but it may shed light on the open ticket...regardless..it is an issue for samsung client that it returns artists not yet in library... Thanks for the letter split..much more workable... I also note the samsung client is aware of how many phantom songs these phantom artists have...but doesnt actually show any songs..

chessdragon136 677 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I don't understand most of what you're both saying. 1. Album Artist includes 2 sections - it shows artists at the top, then after 0.5 seconds it loads albums from those artists. Clicking artist then navigated down onto albums, then onto the first album. 2. See 1. 3. Yeah I can see this, will look into it 4. Again I know this, its not easy to fix 5. Well of course it isnt - as an artist can have tracks from multiple albums listed.. 6. 1 covers this. ginganinja - I only return what the server tells me is there, i can't just make stuff up. Infact i just realised when calling artists it only showed albumartists and not all artists, which i've just fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'll explain them better hopefully with pictures Issue #1 Step 1. Go to Album Artist and choose a letter, in this case I've chosen # Step 2. Scroll down to an artist which highlights the artist. I've highlighted 4 non Blondes Step 3. Click on the Artist you've chosen. Nothing happens except the highlighted box goes away. Step 4. Click on the artist again. At this point it actually displays the songs from the artist. When you repeat the same process under the heading Artist you do not have to do this step as you only need to click on the artist's name once and not twice to display songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5049 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Issue # 2 Not all songs/albums listed when under the heading Album Artist Step 1. Go to the heading Album Artist, choose a letter and highlight an artist. In this case I've highlighted The Beatles. Notice there are 603 songs for The Beatles Step 2. Click on the artist you've chosen to display the songs. Notice only the 8 songs from one album Savage Young Beatles are being displayed. I have 30 albums from the artist The Beatles and there should be 500+ more songs. Not sure how it's picking the one album either. It seems to be an album at random. It's not the first album alphabetically. The only thing I can think of is maybe it's displaying the latest album added, not sure about that though. However, no matter which artist I choose only the songs from one album are being displayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessdragon136 677 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Look at my screens. You can see that you are in fact selecting an album on this "second click that you think is selecting artist again" Hence your issue for #2. Please take full screen images but i cannot see what the issue is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Hmm...this is not happening on my tv. If it did then that would fix my first two issues Edit: there are no album pics being populated in the space below after the first click on my screen Edited March 23, 2015 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Ok, played around with it some more. The albums are below, but they are invisible. I can use the arrow key and move around, if I remember how many times I hit the arrow I can get the same album. I don't get the cover art, or the bar with the album name though. Also, the #/# doesn't switch to number of albums by named album artist when arrowing around below like it shows in your pic. It stays with the count of album artists so it doesn't help with the invisible albums. Anyhow, they are there, I just can't see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5049 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Chess, here you go. This is after clicking on the album artist NiN. As you can see no cd pics are shown. However, they are down there because I can use the arrow key (the red light on the bottom right of tv flashes) and scroll around and select an album. There should 14 or 15 albums down there depending if you count the one VA album I have with a NiN song on it. The counter in the bottom left which got cut off in my pic also does not change to the number of albums like in your pic. I stays as the album artist count. I get the same result using app v580 from my F8000 tv and my Samsung HTS. If you need anything else let me know.

chessdragon136 677 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I really cannot replicate this and I would need you to install the developer suite to help me fix this. Are you up for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ya, sure. Do you have instructions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessdragon136 677 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Go here http://www.samsungdforum.com/Devtools/SdkArchive Scroll down to 2012 platform, SDK4.1 and download SDK Download for Windows 7 Install Download my code from github, Extract it in the project directory of Eclipse (I think it asks you on first load where you want to have it, leave it as default and extract these files there) - then open from within Eclipse. Select the top level folder (probaly called MediaBrowser3) on the left hand side, then run it in the emulator.. In the settings (samsung menu at the top settings) make sure you run it in the 2011 emulator So really, no i don't have instructions.

FrostByte 5049 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I got the following trying to install the emulator. I noticed it said only 32-bit Windows is supported. Is there a workaround for that? I'm running 64-bit Win 8.1 pro. Or should I just install the DirectX from that link and try again?

chessdragon136 677 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yeah download direct X 32 bit. Should have mentioned that Think its this link : http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5049 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I can't seem to load the project in Eclipse. Open Project is grayed out. I can do File..Open File, but that doesn't look right for some reason Files are in \workspace\MediaBrowser 3 Edited March 25, 2015 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) This doesn't seem to match what you described.

chessdragon136 677 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ok not sure what to say here - make sure that the extracted files reside in the right section of the workspace folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessdragon136 677 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Ah ok, you may need to import it - File -> Import -> Samsung Smart TV Apps Project -> Point it to the MediaBrowser3 Folder, then click the listed project and copy it into the workspace... (checkbox) Edited March 25, 2015 by chessdragon136 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I'm not seeing Samsung TV Apps Project in any of these folders after File-> Import. I used existing project into workspace instead. Now do I need to configure an external Tool to run it in the emulator?
