cmcg 874 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) The current BETA release is available to install from the following IP address… 86.14.225.93 For full instructions, please see the Install Instructions thread. Currently, Samsung Smart TVs, Blu-ray Disk players and Home Theatre Systems series D, E, F and H are supported. D series devices will likely not be supported in a future release due to a planned increase in the smart hub resolution. The normal rules of running beta software apply. It might not work! If you do find a bug, please try to find out if it has been introduced recently or was there already in the last stable release and then submit a bug report. There are myriad TVs and devices to support and the behaviour is sometimes different so your input is enormously valuable.

FrostByte 5042 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Really like the changes to the menu. They look more Embyesque Mine comes up different than your screenshot (emulator?) Version number overlaps Log Out. No icon next to playlists Playlists do not work. Second song and on always transcodes. The only reason I don't use the app for music really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcg 874 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Thanks @@FrostByte Only menus that contain some content are displayed. I didn't have any playlists so I missed this. I'll add a playlist icon and make sure it fits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5042 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Favourites shows up and I have none. Would that be a bug also? Not really worried about it since I plan to add some, but for someone maybe it doesn't need to show. Either that or gray it out/disable from selecting if none Edit: when I click Favourites it comes up with a screen something about Sorry we have nothing to show at this time please return to the previous screen Edited September 28, 2015 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBers 6766 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 v0.593a Tools menu slides into view. Tools menu redesigned with more Embyesque style. If you're going to have the option to access the various parts of your library via the Tools menu, is it possible to have sub-menu for each one, such as Latest, Unwatched etc. ?? If so could we do away with the options at the header of the home page etc. ?? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcg 874 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 That's actually a cool idea. It could slide out again into the submenus. It might work very well with a TV remote. I was just aping the webclient with this design. I might wait and see what Emby Theatre looks like in it's next release as that will be the reference client. But there will always be room to discuss what works best on our particular platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffykiwi 50 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Tested v0.593b on bluray BD-F7500 and settings menu now does not have grey background (making it very hard to see) and MediaInfo icons still coloured. Working great on TV UE55HU8500 If you were considering making more use of the settings menu with sliding sub menus, etc. Might be worth considering making it accessible from a button other than TOOLS for people using smart remote, which doesn't have that button. I'd probably suggest GUIDE or REC as that seems unused and has dedicated button on Smart Remote. Maybe allow either button...

cmcg 874 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hmm. Didn't we have reports of BD players failing to pick up changes with the last update? Have you power cycled it? If you have coloured media icons then it's definitely not updated correctly. It could be wise to uninstall the previous version before updating these devices.

fluffykiwi 50 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Yeah probably very slow to update fully on bluray. Just very strange seeing partial changes as splash shows changed version and playlist icon is there. Edit: deleted Emby on bluray and reinstalled and powered on/off. Still same lack of background in tools menu and coloured media info icons. I'll give it some more time and try a few more times and report back. Edit: definitely still coloured icons, gonna try stable then revert to beta. btw I think they look really nice coloured but prefer the logos being used within the monochrome versions. My ideal version would be coloured versions of the new icons. Edited September 29, 2015 by fluffykiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsalter 84 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Not sure if this is a deliberate change or not When playing a TV show/Movie and you bring up the information on it, at the top left is the logo for the programme If no logo is available it now displays the show details (the same content that is shown at the bottom of the screen) but in a basic font previous versions left the top left area blank if no logo available Just a little thing, but for me I preferred the area left blank if no logo available 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5042 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Not seeing the same issue here with the menu as fluffykiwi on my HTS/BD player.

cmcg 874 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) My understanding is that 720p is the max for F series so you might want to avoid the 1080p concept version that's available. Just take the one one from this thread via IP. We'll soon merge these changes into a 720p version to give everyone a resolution bump. (Apart from D series, sorry D series owners).

CBers 6766 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Question: has anyone seen a video goto into "Loading" status during playback? I've had a couple of occasions in the last few days and the only way to resolve it, is to power cycle the TV. When it happens, I quickly check Emby server and the PC it runs on, but it all seems normal. I'm not saying it's the app, but it's the only thing to change recently. #clutchingatstraws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
