darwindeeds 356 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Frankly, its not a lot of work to release an ipad app as most of the leg work is done and Ergo is crunching out all the pages. It took me a day to code up this screen. But we want to add in more animations and transitions that would make it visually appealing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice, but the ability to run it on older iPad's that aren't iPad Air's is preferred over flash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we won't go overboard Ideally will be simple eye candy that doesn't take anything away from the content on the screen, but only to give a richer experience. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BATTLE DONKEY 98 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Looks fantastic, just have a quick question. Will this require ios7 also or is there any chance of it having a lower iOS requirement than the iPhone app?

Will this require ios7 also or is there any chance of it having a lower iOS requirement than the iPhone app? IOS7 and up. It would be too much effort to maintain backward compatibility. I hope that the app will be a worth while to upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfnetwork 514 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It is so great in MB community that devs share this kind of information (teaser, road maps, etc...) with users. "Other" communities (you know who!) never share ANY information like this which keeps users in the dark on road maps and generates frustration (feature requests, bugs, etc...) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harblar 29 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hi! I've been using MB for four or five years and just made the transition to mb3 (really liking mbt so far! Can't wait to see what else gets added down the line) This app for the iPad looks Awesome, but I've gotta ask, is the focus of the app to play content directly on the iPad or to control content on my htpc? Personally I have no need to play movies on my iPad. My entire media collection consists of 1:1 DVD folder rips and 1:1 BluRay's/Hd-DVD mkv's. I have no desire to watch these on a 9" screen with, at best, earbuds for the lossless audio tracks when I've got a giant plasma screen and full surround sound system sitting 5' away. That being said, it would be INCREDIBLY useful to use the iPad as a control device for my home theater. Being able to browse movies and TV on the iPad and have it start playback on my tv would be amazing! Tie in a pop out menu for controlling the TV, receiver, etc via an external ir blaster (I'm sure that's a whole other can of worms, but a guy can hope!) and you'd have a helluva stand alone theater solution! Anyway, just some thoughts. Look forward to seeing the finished product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven 141 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 It looks to me like the icons are Trailer / Play / Play to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcw07 347 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 While I'm not sure what the main focus of the iPad app will be, I would assume it is like all the other mobile clients. It will be focused first on browsing and playback. That doesn't mean it won't also have the option to control and send to another device like MBT running on your main screen.

Sundog 16 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Very much looking forward to this, I use the ipad to watch shows constantly, since I can take it to anywhere. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
