FrostByte 5049 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 1.0.0d Thinner font on E-Series and above. Photo browser fixes and item count. Fixed: Album details overlap CD cover image. @@FrostByte not sure this will be different for you but let me know. I have made the photo browser code a little more robust so at least it might not crap out completely this time. (Fat chance!) No dice. The app still aborts and kicks me out when clicking Photos from the menu and the display is still messed up in Media Folders...Photos. However, once I do get into Photos from Media Folders it seemed to be a lot quicker with 1.0.0d. So that is good I still only have my photos from our trip to the UK a month ago so will add the rest back in to see if it gets any slower with more photos. Oh, btw: On my tv with the Evolution Kit it doesn't remember the install IP any more. Also, the install deletes the app so I have to enter my server IP and Password also every time I install a new version and then redo all the settings. I think someone else complained about this before. Not sure if all H models do this, or if it's a Evo kit thing, but it's is a pita. My HTS is still good though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I log out of the SmartTV develop-account after installing, and log into my actual account, and then re-log to the develop-account, it has forgotten the install-IP. But that's not a problem once it hits the store. Also both H-series delete the app on updating, and it forgets all settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that is good I still only have my photos from our trip to the UK a month ago so will add the rest back in to see if it gets any slower with more photos. Not working here either. If I select Photos from either the top of the Home Screen or from the Tools menu, I get bounced back to the Home Screen. I can't press play either from the Media Folders to start a slideshow, although the screensaver works. If I go into the Photos folder, it's looking messed up, similar to what @@FrostByte posted the other day. If I enable the View Styles for Photos in the Dashboard, then the Media Folder looks OK and allows me to start a slideshow. I had to disable it the other day as it screws up the Photo Browser in the Android TV app . Edited October 29, 2015 by CBers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Oh finally, it's always nice to see someone else have the same issues as yourself so you don't feel silly It is actually kicking you out of the app altogether I bet. If you don't have auto login enabled then it will probably ask for your password again after clicking Photos. Edit: thanks for the tip on View Styles. I'll try that out Edited October 29, 2015 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you're right. With Auto Login disabled, you are thrown out of the app. But, with Photos Styles for Photos enabled, all is good again. @@FrostByte - Try it and see if it fixes your issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Photos is working now, thanks @@CBers. This must be a new default setting because I have never touched that option before. So now I don't know if this is a bug, or what? If nothing else a popup saying you need to enable Style Views for photos to work so it doesn't dump you out. Maybe this should be in the Server or User Settings in the app also so you don't have to go to the server and enable it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6771 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I need to speak to @@ebr, as I need to have the option disabled for Photos to work in the Emby for Android TV app. Enabled for one app and disabled for another app = a bug in my book. Probably/possibly the server?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 There is still a problem when viewing photos from the top or the menu.

FrostByte 5049 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 For those wanting to change an incorrect H264 Level within their video files up or down as needed then the program in the below link can help. It is quick and simple to use and best of all doesn't need to re-encode your files. It simply allows you to change the hex value of the Level specified in the header of your videos container to the correct one. http://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/h264leveleditor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsalter 84 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks for the link to that app, will keep that in mind for future For now I am going to wait for a fix, Emby app is the only thing that does not play my content Have had to revert back to the stable release for now as this direct plays everything without issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsalter 84 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Just tried the above editor and get the following, tried doubling the size limit as it suggested Is this because my files are MPEG4 and not H,264? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Ya, this tool probably won't work for you. My files are all have Mpeg4 codec also but the video must be H264 and say AVC or Advanced Video Codec format for this tool to work. There is another guy in here who had a couple H264 AVC files which were set too low and needed to set them to Level 5 so they would transcode and this should work for him. I don't have any H263 files so never needed a program to fix those, there might be a tool out there for them though so I'll look just in case you want to try it Edited October 30, 2015 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsalter 84 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks, I will give it a try to see what it does It's just a pain to have to do this when the files are natively supported on my Samsung now I have over 1,000 files like this and perhaps add 20 to 25 more each week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Fat chance!) @@cmcg - Looks like FrostBytes issue is is related to the View Styles for Photos (see above post). Is this something you can look at, as I have to have it enabled on the server for the Photo Browser to work in this app, but disabled for it to work in the Android TV app. I have mentioned it to EBR here. All very confusing. I like the new thinner font 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulsalter 84 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Are all the files which transcode now, but worked before H263? Just thinking of a solution that may help As far as I know they are all the same (I have never had to transcode any AVI files before) I did a test last night with various ones on the stable version and every one played with Direct Stream A thought I had, could these changes be implemented in the device profile on the server?, that way those that have the issue with failing to play could have them transcoded, others could just modify the profile so these files are just sent as is to the client Unfortunately I don't know enough about the profiles to know what would need adding/changing To me this would make it much easier instead of the app deciding what can be played directly and what needs transcoding Edited October 30, 2015 by paulsalter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
