Luke 37098 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 This is normal. When static=false you are using progressive video encoding. The consuming video player will not be able detect a runtime. If you are transcoding, you should use the HLS streaming url instead. That's what the official app will be doing for LG.

Luke 37098 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I thought of an interesting idea for this app. You could actually make a skin for the official app that would allow your presentation of choice to be used. Then the skin would not only work on the LG version, but tizen, windows, xbox, and all the other platforms it's launching on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwilcox 78 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Ok, your HLS suggestion works for me and in fact, offering only the HLS url worked fine for all videos on my TV. Thx! Now I just need to get the resume feature working. For some reason, using StartTimeTicks with the HLS stream URL is having no effect and setting currentTime only works sporadically...

Luke 37098 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 you don't use starttimeticks with hls, because with hls the seeking is client-side, not server-side. you just tell the player to start at whatever position you want, just as if you were direct playing.

CFC 25 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Hey all, Trying to get a handle on how to get started in adding the LG app on my set, but maybe I'm not seeing the instructions. Could you please point me to where I should start. I don't have a webOS set, but rather the style before (Netcast?) if that makes a difference.

CFC no problem but I'm so sorry, this app is intended only for webos tvs. perhaps you can try the web app, but if also not works, I think onlu DLNA will work for you.

cmarques 14 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi @@kwilcox, just to you know, in the lastest release (github), when I press back button in the remote, screenplay sends me directly to home screen, and not to the last page visited as supposed to do. example: I'm selecting Movies -> All Movies -> Title so when I press back, I'm going directly to home screen, instead All Movies page.

Ahh, thanks. So somewhere along it must have split off completely from Netcast, as I believe the original incarnation was for it. No worries. If there's one thing thankfully we're not lacking on the Emby front, it's app availability. CFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarques 14 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I really have not seen a netcast version of emby around, perhaps a Plex app, because Screenplay (this app) is based on the original Playz app for Plex, from Simon (simonjhogan).

woozle 2 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The new back button behavior is actually required by LG. Back needs to go to the home screen. Really? Surprising. I've just tried all my existing apps, and they all handle the back button how you'd expect it to - cycling back through your history. When you've gone back through all, then it usually drops out, possibly with a prompt "are you sure you want to exit" (BBC iPlayer, BBC News, Netflix, Amazon Video, Google Play Movies & Videos, YouTube, etc...) The "Exit" button drops you straight out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwilcox 78 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Well, I re-read the defect description: ※ BACK button should be keep working until it takes the user back to the initial app status. ※ Issue must be defined by the depth / layer. ...and you folks appear to be correct. I misinterpreted the defect description. added to my "to-fix" list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwilcox 78 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Ha! Almost there! The OK button bug is now corrected. I only have the back button behavior requirement left to do and I know exactly what's going on. Should have it sorted today sometime, then final check against the defect list, push the version to the repo for those of you who are following along and submit v1.0.2 to QA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwilcox 78 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) I'll update the repository tonight. I think everyone will really like the changes. Some notes: bitrate is always honored now. If you have playback pauses or playback takes a long time to start, lower the video bitrate. Flawless playback using the default 10MB/s video bitrate requires 802.11n WiFi or a direct connection to your TV. I'm still working on improving video positioning performance with HLS streams. Resume, Fast Forward, Rewind, and skip are affected. Edited September 26, 2016 by kwilcox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
