techywarrior 688 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Also sorted the NextUp not respecting the TopParentId. Cheeter, no you didn't! Scott fixed it in the ApiClient and you get the free benefit j/k, I'm glad that finally got sorted out. It was an annoying bug. I don't use a remote with app, and although I got Win10 to play videos now in 10130, I have no sound Is there anything besides the remote I should make sure to test?

7illusions 1249 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Try the context menus so that they still behave correct. I've rewritten them to work with both remote and normal input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Ellipsis menus seem to be working fine with mouse/keyboard/touch. One minor bug that I still notice is that my user icon gets a weird background sometimes. My user icon is a PNG with transparancy and it always loads correctly the first time. But after I go into 1-2 sections (which don't appear to have the user icon in the top right) and then go back to the home page that has it there will be some gray where it should be transparent.

Vicpa 554 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hi, Navigation and selection work fine via the remote in the context menu. Select, Ok, Close Seem like the right flow. "Back" is just supposed to close the menu if nothing is selected ? Could also just use keypress to whatever you hook it up to. Click opens context menu, Click closes it if open. Whatever is easier. -vicpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicpa 554 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi, A couple more places where the remote or the keyboard navigation arrow doesn't work (can't navigate to). TV main hub right arrow won't move you over to "Next Up". TV All focus goes to the alpha characters at the top (ie a >) can move left and right but not down to shows. Music Hub Can't navigate in Albums, album artists, artists. Live TV Movies, collections, channels, playlists, videos, photos seem fine.

FrostByte 5049 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I know this wasn't an issue with the app, but the fix in the server beta released today fixes my issue using "Play To" from the app to my Samsung TV. I've played one movie so far on my TV and all seems to be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicpa 554 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi, The weird sync settings issue, was corrected by the latest beta and the deletion of dup devices. One small thing on the music screensaver. Can the location of the track time be excluded from the random display of song title? See pic BTW you can add ALAC to the supported audio in win 10. Might need a check for it and an explicit direct play entry. m4a, alac. Just because I could I ripped an album in alac. Didn't have to make any changes in the streaming profile. it just played? Oddly my receiver can't play it directly via dlna, even though it supports "air play". I will post something in the server section because the server sent it natively to the receiver, again even though the profile didn't explicitly id it. Not a big thing I have been holding off on most win 10 things, unless you want them. Nothing much but a couple of oddities with mkv's with multi track audio. Thanks -Vicpa (dying to ask if the wasapi universal app sample will give us DTS sometime in the future? or do you think MS will include generic passthrough (offload in MS speak) audio.)

Vicpa 554 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hi 7, Do you have a limit on max bitrate for mkv's ? I have discerned that some of the one's I have that don't seem to play are over 2000kps I just rip with handbrake defaults for h.264qsv quality 20. They seem to play fine in MS Movies and TV. Just thought I would pass it along. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7illusions 1249 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 You can have a look in the profile and tweak it to whatever is themximum. Once you know, let me know and I'll change it for all users. What you're looking for is : MaxStaticBitrate = 18000000 You can try settting it to 30000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicpa 554 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Hi 7, Changing that setting didn't seem to make any difference. Still got the video failed to play error. I incremented that number all up from 3 to 10. Maybe its just a Win 10 bug? Attached is the mediaInfo for the film. Maybe it is something else. mediainfo.txt Edited June 15, 2015 by Vicpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) In streamingprofile it identifies the audio codec as just pcm. Shouldn't it be pcm_s16le, pcm_s24le, etc for different LPCM bitrates. That's how ffmpeg identifies them and how I see it everywhere else (webclient, etc) Edited June 17, 2015 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ 74 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 If you play a video and swipe down from the top to bring up the back button and playback info you are unable to "click" out of it easily. The only way I was able to make it go away was with a right click using the mouse on the top bar. Can this be changed to go away after 5 seconds or so of inactivity? Similar to the pause/play button?

Xzener 729 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I've jumped into testing. Please forgive me if things are not implemented yet. My collection consists of all MKVs. Blurays converted with HD audio. Should these be transcoding to ac3/h264 or should they be direct streaming?? I'm on a gigabit network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicpa 554 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi, Xzener. Under Win 8.1 MKV's will be transcoded (stream copy) h264, ac3. DTS isn't supported yet. It will transcode by default to acc, but you can opt for ac3 if you want. Under Win 10 MKV's will direct stream h264,hevc and any audio except DTS. Again until DTS is supported MKV's with DTS will stream copy like above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzener 729 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks Vicpa, so W10 doesn't support DTS yet? That's odd. Can't wait till July 29th. A question for 7illusions... Will your app be able to utilize Cortana? Sorry if the question has arisen already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7illusions 1249 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yes, Cortana will be an option. The question is for which release that will be added. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swhitmore 781 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yes, Cortana will be an option. The question is for which release that will be added. I might have to buy a microphone for my htpc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicpa 554 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi 7 Any thoughts on my mkv problem. Tried/checked lots. bit rate is all over the place. Like I said changing that setting didn't seem to make any difference. I would think going forward there might be a need for two options. Unlimited and a specific number. I guess the limit is needed for ? If its a tweak you need to make no worries. Whenever you release the next beta is soon enough. If they should be working let me know I will have to figure what I am doing wrong with my rips. Must say I really pleased with the playback quality, looks 'marvelous" on my tv. Thanks -vicpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzener 729 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 May I request an option to remove the movie labels from the poster/covers?? The poster/cover is description enough for most people. An option to turn off/on these would be greatly accepted I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bring out the Charms-menu -> Settings -> General -> Show text on posters. I will soon move that part into preferences, but not there yet.
