Beta 2.2.0

Looks like I'm in the minority.  I kind of like the shadowed look of the backgrounds, makes the text easier to read.  I would go one step further and eliminate the backgrounds on certain screens altogether to make the app faster.  Screens like the All Movies, or All Collections where there are so many posters you can't even make out the background seems like a waste to display one.  Other apps don't have backgrounds on these screens

 

That was the intention, to make them dark and not distracting, like in Emby Theatre. But they weren't supposed to appear completely black. Maybe some people's screen settings are different to mine. I'll moderate the effect in the next beta. It's not a huge deal.

Regarding DTS-HD support, are we supposed to be able to send DTS-HD via ARC to an AVR?  I am still only getting the "core" DTS on F-series TV.

All, I forgot to mention. I have a 2014 H series TV, I changed the resolution for HEVC and H265 codecs to [3840,2160] on 2.2.0b build downloaded. I have a couple 4K movies with DTS 7.1 that I can now Direct play. Can we get this added for future changes? also can we add a 4K icon?

Is it showing Direct Streaming?  If it's showing DS then Emby isn't stripping anything and sending the movie as is.  If the HD stream is being stripped then it's probably the DTS decoder in your TV stripping it before it sends to your AVR.  Just my guess

What is the model of the h-series TV you have?  The way the code is written right now all h-series TVs are thrown into the same code set and all h-series TVs don't support UHD (mine doesn't).  So @cmcg would have to add something specific to the h-series TVs that do support UHD and transcode anything > 1080p for those that don't.  He would probably want a list of all h-series TVs that support UHD

 

Edit: I think the split is at 6000/7000 for the h model TVs.  6000 and < models are FHD and 7000 and > are UHD.  Not 100% on that yet though

The OSD indicates "Direct Play" so it seems like it should just be sending it as is.

That's by design. The white one is the page you are currently on. Same as Theatre.

Just updated to 2.2.0e, but how do I get the new ET-type UI please?

 

I still see the old UI.

I have 8550, I think your right and 7000 and above are UHD.

I think it's only slightly more like ET, not that it is using the same style UI

 

 

 

2.2.0c

Colours and styles slightly more like Emby Theatre. (Square corners, dark background, green borders etc.)

Sounds good.  I'm thinking once the app determines it is an H-series TV only then it can probably check the next column in the model number for a 7, 8 or 9 and assign a new Case which allows resolutions up to UHD (all the codecs, etc should be the same as other H models).  Of course @cmcg may not think it's that easy :)

So is that image above not from the app then?

Correct, it's a picture of ET illustrating a point we were discussing about the top menu colours.

OK, that makes sense then :)

 

I had a lot of problems getting the app to load past the splash-screen (with version number displayed) last night, but I think it was Emby server causing the issues, as there were multiple "(slow)" messages in the log relating to the TV.

 

Connection to my Shield was slow as well.

Yea a lot easier said than done, I can just edit the releases until then.

Might not be too hard. Can you give me your full model code? If we work out which column the 8 is in we should be ok.

Interesting. Both times I've asked that, you and @@CBers have responded that you have home view 2 set to None. This supports my theory that it's a null value error. I've made a change for the next beta but I'm not convinced it will do what we want. Time will tell.

@ - are you in front of your TV ??

 

If so, can you change HV2 to something other than NONE and see if it responds better ??

 

I can do it later when I'm home if not.

 

Thanks.
