philyew 0 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Currently, there seem to be download issues for the app in.com the Google Play store. It persistently gives a server error when trying to download to a Nexus 5, despite having completed the purchase transaction. It also does not appear at all when using the Play store on a Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. After many failed attempts, the download on the Nexus 5 completed in the background. I also managed to see the app for the tablet. Google's search algorithm is a mystery. If you search for "media browser 3", it will pull up literally hundreds of apps, but not this one. Yet if you modify the search to just "media browser", it comes up first - as you would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Octane 4 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I should have mentioned it in the official blog posting, but I'd like to thank @@Darth Octane for his donation of a Chromecast to my development efforts. Hope you like the results Darth You are most welcome. I am glad to have contributed in some way. I can't program but man can I shop on Amazon :-). I am in love with it. Who needs an xbox in every room now? I have my kitchen, living room and bedroom all running beautifully on it. 3 chromecasts and no more clunky fast forward on a xbox controller. YOU ROCK! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedawg87 0 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I had a client crash when I pressed the play button when I was on a season of a TV show. I have Android client version 1.0.27. Here are three logs from recreates. Hopefully this helps. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hm0lxnm3eztq9re/client-b037b3e2-ceca-4527-b1d2-425f93930b9e.txt https://www.dropbox.com/s/n6tubet4g0tkyq8/client-413eaa32-100e-49b2-be39-0101ee8151af.txt https://www.dropbox.com/s/rsvs3odndv1lgl2/client-8197981b-5e25-4e63-9f12-1761be9511a1.txt I also had a crash when I reached the end of an episode I was watching. These are the logs from around that time. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qsghievtt8rkvlr/client-8d362148-6430-48d3-bdc0-3eff10fa8283.txt https://www.dropbox.com/s/c4h2s6xkgdqlfip/client-cdc85b2a-0724-4c7f-9c89-dbba3204b514.txt Edited March 8, 2014 by natedawg87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cristiantx 0 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Not sure if this is the correct way to report a bug, but here is it https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser.Android/issues/74 Subtitles seems to be gone when you seek on video progress bar when Casting to Chromecast. Works ok on android client playing on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Github works great for me as I get notified and it's easier to keep track of. I don't expect regular users to use github so it's entirely up to you if you'd rather post here or there. Steps to reproduce are always a bonus. Thanks. Fixed for next release.

Tranquil 93 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Two thinks: 1st.) A movie or an episode tagged as "shown" in episode or movie detail screen within your app does not show the checkmark when going back to the movie or episode overview 2nd.) Feature Request: Select more then one Movie or TV Show Episode for tagging as shown or not shown. Anyway, really great app!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostm 74 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Just a quick question, i cant seem to cast music to the chromecast, is this in the pipeline? I seen plex added support for it recently. http://www.tomsguide.com/us/plex-chromecast-update,news-18379.html Edited March 14, 2014 by Ghostm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostm 74 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Ok one last one then I will leave you alone, i noticed they are also pushing mirroring capability, which would be kind of cool, will that be available at some point for as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Not sure what you mean by mirroring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostm 74 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I noticed in various outlets they are pushing the fact that their android and ios clients can mirror whats on the phone on the chromecast, so browsing your library appears on the chromecast as you browse on the phone. Im not an actual plex user so i have not tried it myself, i just keep up to date with what various media streamers are doing. One publication claimed only on plex, so I dont know how accurate that is. Its a short scroll down on the link below. "Well, as you’re browsing your library on your mobile device, we fling details for the item onto the big screen. It’s perfect if you’re sitting around on the couch with friends trying to decide what to watch. Below are some examples of content mirroring (we mirror movies, shows, episodes, artists, albums, and video clips from channels). All the beauty of Plex Home Theater on your tiny little Chromecast." https://blog.plex.tv/2014/02/24/chromecast-enhancements-shared-sync-more-omg/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'm not sure if we're going to do that or not. It's neat for sure. We don't want to be a "me too" app beside Plex but if the users want it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostm 74 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Ya, i just think it would be cool because mb3 from what I seen produces much nicer metadata/artwork then plex. Not many things plex has that mb3 does not have (useful for me anyway outside of accessing it and sharing your library outside your home) but its one idea i think they were on the ball with that mb3 users will find useful. I actually found it because i was casting last night trying out your app and when it connected i was hoping to see the artwork on screen as well, but it just had a generic mb3 wallpaper. I suppose i can setup a feature request although i think this would be useful across various platforms beyond just an android request. And the idea of using it so your family can see your library and select something is also appealing. And i just noticed its your birthday, so i will wish you a happy birthday, and stop bothering you with requests Edited March 15, 2014 by Ghostm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristiantx 0 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hey, any timeframe for the next build release? Or maybe details of the build cycle. Like once a month, once a week, etc. Thanks! Enviado desde mi XT1058 mediante Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 ideally I'd like to release something every couple of weeks, but it's all based on my work schedule and how productive I am when I do work on the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostm 74 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Just a quick question, does the bitrate selected in the android settings have any effect on the chromecast bitrate being streamed? Or does that go beyond the app and more of a server/chromecast determination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt 1487 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 If you have the most recent version there's a third bitrate option purely for Chromecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
