cmarques 14 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hi guys, nice to see the things is going well, so let me share two things that I saw these last days, because it (not directly) has to do with our project. 1- last weekend I got a webos update on my TV, the version now is 4.05.05 but it still webos 2.22.xxx, there are no visual changes, of course, but certainly things changed under the hood, the most important for us is that now the web browser is capable to open the oficial emby theather web client, but wait, it runs in a way very strange, it's almost unusable because it runs very very very very slow.... so our app even unfinished is light-years ahead. 2- looking at the LG app store, i found an official Plex app (It should have been released these last days), the app is free and has a premium version, but the free app is very fast, attractive design, full of settings including UI look setup. The UI itself is what it has to do with us, the look is almost the same of our app (you can check it on the Lg apps portal, searching by Plex). And last, I can't find the app PlayZ anymore on the store... Does Simon sold his app to Plex Inc?? So, I think we should think in do some changes to our project in order to not being accused of ilegal copy. I propose something like this: :: change the menu to a horizontal version instead of a collum as the original project is now. To be honest I'm having some dificult to do it by myself without breaks other pages, maybe we have to change the object from a child div class to a single div, don't know... The final goal is something like the menu bar of Kodi app, that is too elegant indeed... with menu itens centralized and horizontal scrollable. :: I also would like to implement an mouseover effect that shows the div that has the movie tittle, like happens when you select the content with the standard remote; this would be nice to people that has the magic remote control and gives to the app a differential... but unfortunatelly I'm also facing difficult to achieve it. I know the post got a bit big, but please comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwilcox 78 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks for the info @cmarques! Our app is based on playz-emby open source code so I don't think there's a problem using it as is. If anything, its Plex who would be in violation because they would be copyrighting a UI already expressed by open-source code. Think android here. We are essentially like a telco who is adding functionality to an open-source base. Perhaps Simon could comment if he is still following this thread? I like the mouse over effect but the app won't be validated for publishing unless there's also a way to perform the same function with a standard remote.

cmarques 14 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hi @@kwilcox, looking by this point of view, I think you right. about the mouseover, the effect is already present for standard remote, we just need implement it and it will work just to who have a magic remote. nothing will change to the standard remote's functionality that already exists. and about the UI changes? It not pleased you, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It aims to be the main client for TV's in the future PLAYZ FOR EMBY (this thread) Access: Manually installing it from https://github.com/sleuth255/playz-emby into your LG TV via Developer Mode (has tutorial somewhere) Developer: Was Simon, now it's @@kwilcox That app uses the official LG WebOS 1.0, 2.0 or superior to run, and cannot be executed outside WebOS Today, those two options are the only promising softwares that exist for WebOS.

It not pleased you, right? Did you accomplish the UI changes using CSS only? I'm trying to drive towards an official release to the app store so not into major coding changes. This would be a cool change for the next major release however. Everybody: I"m working on a fix for the scrolling issue now (highlighted item can sometimes be mostly off the screen). I've figured out how to recognize the condition but haven't yet hit on a successful way to scroll the item into the viewport. I'm very close however. Just need one more rainy day to work on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarques 14 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Hi guys! @@kwilcox, as you did not liked the last changes, I decide to forget everything and start working on the basic UI as it is. I did some visual changes on the UI but I did not changed its standard, I just tweak it a bit. Hope you like this time, I personally like it a lot! -I have changed the way the menus works, now the menu bar is fixed and the rest of the objects scroll under it. -I also have changed the first object focused, now it is the first title, and thus I achieve the goal to have the title name visible on each page (almost all, I need help to fix two pages) -movies page and series page -here a I need help, I can't set the first focus on the first title, and focus did not is on the menu item, perhaps, for this page and also on Music pages, this propertyis being inherited incorrectly see that the title label is from the previous page, and none of objects are focused. This avoid the standard remote to works on this page I attached all the files I changed, also an ipk package, so the tests would be too easy. I tryed to comment every change, but on the application.css file perhaps I forgot some of it, you can compare the files easily with the notepad++ application.

kwilcox 78 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Scrolling fix pushed. That was a pita but the improvement is waaaay worth it imho.... This version also includes @cmarques' excellent splash screen modifications. I'll take a look at what you posted above btw, but I kind of like the green categories buttons. With scrolling now working correctly, the interface just feels a lot smoother. Note: I'll add animation itnf to give a smoother scrolling effect.

simonjhogan 67 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Looks good horizontal scrolling works best in my opinion. Don't worry about the PLEX guys they can't claim the UI lol You need to focus on new functions and capability not UI - focus on play lists, slide shows, media functions, etc. This is what I just didn't have time for. The base is all there it just needs to be expanded. Dude you are doing a good job, well done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwilcox 78 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Concur fully. UI changes after we release v1.0. Improved eye candy is always the first thing people look forward to for the next release. From a features perspective, I'm going to work on a settings capability that allows you to define what emby collections/folders to use and how to name them. Currently, this is hardcoded. I've also got some navigational work to complete. Edited July 11, 2016 by kwilcox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah me too. But they really have to add some critical features and fix some stuff. My list before is a good start, as we agreed. Launching v1 like it is now will probably do more harm than good. In other hand, the visual part is astounding! Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwilcox 78 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I've been debating that myself. Once the app is LG store compliant, there are many advantages to releasing it. Since its a free app, I don't really care about popularity; getting something into the hands of the larger LG population to tide them over prior to the offical Emby release was always my priority. And to be quite truthful, this app has pretty good functionality for what I use emby for already. I'm thinking I'm going to fix the "All Items" search (can't scroll up from the alphabet if there's not an item that begins with the highlighted letter), fix the item display when an episode in a series is selected for playback (series image has chopped episode image below it), then add emby folder mapping and subtitle preferences to the settings. After that, I'll seriously consider submitting it for LQ QA testing as a WebOS 2.0/3.0 app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmarques 14 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi guys, I agree with you @@kwilcox, since there are a new Android app named Emby Mobile to be officially released soon (I have installed it yesterday), I think an official webos app should be release soon also. Our app is functional to watch movies and series (what everybody wants)..., almost all my movie library is dual audio, I think everybody has his library on same way, so the subtitle does not a priority but a new feature to be added on the frequent updates we'll made. My UI customizations, do not changes it essence, it is just CSS tweaks and navigation changes (one line in each .js file I have attached the previous post), it just need to fix navigation on "All TV" and "All Music" pages to be used with standard remote. don't know if LG accept an app with a seal of BETA, if yes we could publish the first release as beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderbytes 139 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) So you assume everybody's media is Dual audio, and states that subtitles are overrated? God... Think about users outside US that will look the App in LG Store for the first time... then they'll install it... test aand... "Well, it had potential!"

cmarques 14 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) I said that it is not a priority for the first release, please do not misunderstand me. And yes, I think much people does downloads its library from web, and the files available has at least dual audio track. If you think how many people has not the chance to watch his movies using an Emby app because his TV do not has an official app or because the TV web browser do not suport Emby web client, I think this is already reasons enough to @@kwilcox release his app. We just need to let clear that the app has few features compared to the official, but that the features will come. sorry ander, i think we do not think in same way, I respect your opinion but you want features, i just want to watch my movies through my emby server. I want to see this app being born, and then grow... Edited July 12, 2016 by cmarques 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
