Redshirt 1487 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Nice. I'll be sure to check it out once I get home. Have you thought about releasing the beta to the play store and just using the beta system built in to the store? More info That's my intention post-release. I don't want to manage a large beta group on the play store, but will assemble a small team of testers for inclusion there.
gcw07 347 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Congrats. Hopefully your Play Store submission review/approval is much quicker then the Roku's is. They are a little slow over there.
Cheesegeezer 3102 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Wahoooo!!! congratulations Red!!! Great news for the world of Android
CashMoney 94 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Nice one Red, downloading it as I type this. Congrats and well done.
Redshirt 1487 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Here is the Release Candidate build. Current Version: RC5 There will be no additional features until after the client is released to the play store. I want to focus on squashing any bugs and getting this software in the store pronto. Those of you who have not had access to the developer forum should notice a fairly large improvement in the smoothness of scrolling on high-resolution devices among other fixes. Version History Release Candidate 5 Fix: Missing & Unaired episodes not showing up. Setting no longer exists on the client. It's purely a server-side setting now. Fix: App crash when shuffle / play-all used to play multiple videos Fix: MusicVideos not being included in shuffle / play-all Release Candidate 4 Fix: Layout issues in Media Details view Release Candidate 3 Fix: Resume for Direct Streamed media Fix: Theme song keeps playing when playing an episode to another client Fix: Switch based settings resetting when a user scrolls the settings page up and down Fix: "null" showing up for the episode number under certain circumstances Enhancement: Change layout of "Next Up" tiles Release Candidate 2 Enhancement: Selecting Browse from the remote control popup no longer opens the remote control activity Fix: self appearing in available remote control clients Fix: missing Star Rating pushing the overview off-screen Fix: filter/sort menu crash after rotating screen Enhancement: Show series thumbs for episodes without an image Release Candidate 1 Initial release.

Xzener 729 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Loving it!! Great job Mark, can't wait to officially see it in the Play Store.
Yogi 367 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Well done Red,great to see it getting that little bit closer to official release
Credo 0 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Ohh very nice, yeah the scrolling is smooth, its fast and responsive. Ill have a good play with it and report back. nexus 10, 7, S2, S3
jordy 284 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Hey Red, Nice work, the RC is very good. I did find that the volume controls for the remote client don't work properly. The Mute works ok but the up & down controls do nothing. Server: 3.0.5061.25570 MBC: 3.2.90.0 B11-3.1 ROC: 1.0.8.0 Phone: SG3 cheers Edited November 12, 2013 by jordy
thoror 6 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Red, great job on the RC. It is sooooo fast Just one comment: when I press the play button for games, the client crashes. I'm not sure if there are plans to support games in android, but I guess for now it shouldn't have a play button at all. Edited November 12, 2013 by Redshirt
speechles 2014 Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Redshirt, nice work I love the speed this application is progressing, but It still seems to be placing large "white space" gaps between text when viewing tv-series at the detail level. This occurs when the episode does not have the "star" ratings associated with it. The addition of the scroll-bar does help out as at least now you can scroll up and read the synopsis of said episode The other issue is in regards to the "filter" menu when sliding left from the left-hand side to pull it's pane open. Sometimes, albeit randomly, as soon as it opens it causes a crash. Here's the log from these events. From install of new beta to crash you see above. http://paste2.org/wgNMy9dE Thanks again for the app, and the updates ^__~ Edited November 12, 2013 by speechles

I'm not sure if there are plans to support games in android, but I guess for now it shouldn't have a play button at all. oops. Now I know how Luke kept editing posts by accident. I've given the games page no attention. I definitely need to stop any play action from being visible.

Not all clients yet support all features. I've just tested this and I can see that MBC is receiving the command, just doesn't appear to be processing it. I'm waiting for conformation from ebr. 1

I've been able to reproduce issue 2. It actually happens every time if you enter that view, then rotate the screen, then slide the menu out.

radeon 733 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Wow, Nice work Red! I lost touch with the betas for a couple of months. I've just come back to it and Wow, just Wow! So smooth! I'm away this weekend and will be sure to use it to get to my media so ill give you some feedback after that. Great work!
tp546 41 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 congrats Red, this app kicks ass and is already more than I think I could have hoped for.
DGMayor 90 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Not sure if this was brought up in the beta thread, but I can't get any streaming audio podcasts to work. Hitting play rotates the screen like it's going to play a video, complete with media icons for a video, but it just times out the client.
speechles 2014 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I believe I now have issue 1 sorted. We'll know for sure in RC2. I've been able to reproduce issue 2. It actually happens every time if you enter that view, then rotate the screen, then slide the menu out. Nice. I wasn't able to faithfully reproduce it nice that you pinpointed it. KitKat 4.4 OTA for Nexus 7 (2012/2013) just rolled out. With custom /system partition I'm not able to sideload flash this via adb/recovery. I prefer a full system restore image be available (just in case). Confirmed support for 4.4, with nexus 7's, when hitting Google Play will solidify a large audience/userbase. /me patiently awaits an RC2 to play with....
