doonze 30 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 erb, LOVING what you've done with the Beta app for playing music. The way the dynamic playlist works now is prefect!!! now for my first bug report: seems the only "view all" default right now is Albums? Personally I never search by albums but always by artist. Is that coming? As for bugs, when I did select albums the wait cursor thingie did it's dance but nothing ever came up. I do have something like 800 artist... so like 2000 albums... could that be why? I did wait a LONG time... when doing search for some reason Imagine Dragons would never come up searching "Imagine".... instead had to search Dragons... no idea why.. Feedback: In TV it's displaying directories as shows that are empty. Can you make it so if there are no video files it does't list the directory? I had a autobackup program and a stupid windows AV's that created directories way back when I used windoz and they show as shows. I know I could just go delete them, but it's more a thought for others who are using such things. Or maybe a option to hide "shows/directories"? I did kinda like the "all movies/shows" strip on the original app. I do like that strips you have now, but maybe an option to have the "all" strip back again?? Maybe I'm the only one? I know going down and selecting the ALL box is no big deal, but I kinda liked the side scrolling strip. I DO love having the option of seeing ALL in a grid view also however!! So don't get me wrong. That's a great feature as well!! Icon size options? On my 32" in the bedroom, where my Roku is, the icons are a tad small. I'm sure on my 55" they would be perfect. Maybe an option to have larger icons universally? Just for those that might have smaller TV's that they don't sit close to? Maybe several size options? Small, Med, Large, Ex-Large? I would say the current would be Med..... Kudos: Really Kudo's all around. The original app was nice, this one is for sure is a great improvement. I'm really happy to see progress on this app (as well as the rest of Emby!) Just really want to let you, Luke, and the rest know how great it is to see how much your willing to listen to the community and how great a product your offering! As a dev myself, I know how annoying feature request can be sometimes, thanks for all you do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thanks for the feedback. seems the only "view all" default right now is Albums?

I do have something like 800 artist... so like 2000 albums... could that be why? I did wait a LONG time... Yes, more views will be coming. Can you look in your server log and see if you can find the query that is being called when you try to bring up albums? I'm betting it is taking so long that it is timing out on the app end. when doing search for some reason Imagine Dragons would never come up searching "Imagine".... instead had to search Dragons... no idea why.. Can you please repeat this same search with the web app and see what happens? Feedback: In TV it's displaying directories as shows that are empty. Can you make it so if there are no video files it does't list the directory?

I know I could just go delete them, but it's more a thought for others who are using such things. Or maybe a option to hide "shows/directories"? There is a feature request at the server level to hide empty folders. This needs to be handled at the server for both performance and consistency reasons.

That's a great feature as well!! Latest is going to be the same thing. It isn't practical to show a side-scrolling row with more than maybe 50 or so items because the Roku scrolls so slowly. But, at the end of your Latest Series row will be a "more" button that will bring up everything in a grid. Icon size options? On my 32" in the bedroom, where my Roku is, the icons are a tad small.

Small, Med, Large, Ex-Large? I would say the current would be Med..... Perhaps in the future but it is a lot trickier in this technology than in, say, Android TV where I have those options plus an "auto" one. We are jumping through several hoops to get the exact display you are seeing and there are technical limitations in the platform such that items have to be sized very carefully for them to work properly in all situations.

doonze 30 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Yes, more views will be coming.

One of these days my auto correct will stop changing ebr to erb.... LOL I figured you were working on more, was just putting in my .02, I'll look into the query when I get a chance and post back. Can you please repeat this same search with the web app and see what happens? Works fine in the web app, I'll play with the query's later and see what I can see then. There is a feature request at the server level to hide empty folders. This needs to be handled at the server for both performance and consistency reasons. Understood, thanks for letting me know!

But, at the end of your Latest Series row will be a "more" button that will bring up everything in a grid. Ok, I see what your saying, I haven't messed with the Roku code wise as all, so that makes perfect sense. In the end grid view is better overall anyway.

We are jumping through several hoops to get the exact display you are seeing and there are technical limitations in the platform such that items have to be sized very carefully for them to work properly in all situations. I kinda figured you were facing something like that. It's not a huge deal, just a thought I had and thought I'd pass it on. I'll keep testing and pass on anything I find.

ebr 14903 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Works fine in the web app, I'll play with the query's later and see what I can see then. Hmmm... I only have two thoughts: 1) So many items matched that they fell off the list in the roku (not likely I bet) 2) Somehow, your "Imagine Dragons" item is something other than a MusicArtist...
