hstamas 153 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 And you are right. Something is messed up with the widget. I'm going to take a look into it. Thanks for the report. Yep just tested again and if I try to move the Embycon version of the updated TV widget it disappears. The Emby for Kodi version seems to move properly.

abescalamis 76 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Hello, I wanted to ask if you know how can I make the top header bar bigger, the reason why I ask is because I installed Kodi on an Iphone 8 plus, and I cannot access the side bar, the only Items that I can access from the top bar are the ones in the middle. But I notice that I can fix it by increasing the size a little. I don't have this issue on Android. I'm very unfamiliar with IOS, I'm an Android guy and been unsuccesfully trying to convince my wife to switch to Android, any recommendation or skin suggestion is highly appreciated.

sualfred 677 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Nope, because that require a rework of every existing template and animations. This skin also has no touch and mouse support and a few parts won't work by using one of those input methods. I highly suggest you to switch the skin before you get into troubles. And -> On a phone it's always better to use the natvie Emby app / web gui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hstamas 153 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Boy this skin is SO close to becoming my daily driver but I am experiencing really poor GUI navigation speeds, especially when scrolling vertically. Very choppy and stutter. @suflfred, any idea why this would be so poor on a 2017 Nvidia Shield running SPMC v17.6? Im fairly new to the Shield having Windows machines in the past so maybe my expectations are too high coming off of Intel NUC i5 HTPC's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im85288 1493 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I have also noticed it does seem a bit laggy on My nvidia shield, but this applies to EmbyCon too. On the shield I sit there waiting for things to load up from EmbyCon and navigation is not optimal. However running the exact same on my Apple TV 4K is lighting fast (both EmbyCon and this skin). So I’m guessing there’s something up with Android that’s causing the delay...incidentally and it may be a coincidence the shield seemed fine before updating it to the newish Oreo firmware that everyone’s complaining about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Mostly Android. The best Kodi performance is still on Windows. Even LibreElec is slower and I was facing micro stutteirng on the same used device (Nuc i3 Skylake). I switched back to Win10. Edit:The upcoming Kodi 18 Leia has a new GUI rendering method. Maybe this will work better for you. Edited July 18, 2018 by sualfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzigg 1 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Kinda off topic, but have you guys tried MRMC? The performance is better than Kodi or SPMC for me in a Mi Box, I'd imagine it'd be a lot better in a Shield. The integrated Plex and Emby 'connect' which behaves like EmbyCon is awesome. If you're going to try it tho, I suggest to enter their Beta channel and use their latest one (v3.7) and use Ariana skin, it has become my default Plex and sometimes Emby player. Embuary is still miles ahead in terms of UI and features, but performance-wise, I'm afraid MRMC is better. I already voted for Embuary to be ported on their forum. With Sualfred amazing skills, it'd be a dream come true if you're willing to contribute to there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sualfred 677 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) @Luke It's not EmbyCon related. Kodi has problems with a larger amounts of item containers. And to simulate the Emby gui I have to use workarounds with grouplists and dozens of custom container listings. These grouplists have no "pre-caching" feature from the Kodi core.Edit2:But yes, EmbyCon is a lot slower than Kodi's internal database. The container filling process takes a few milliseconds. Via remote it's a pain for large databases. But that's nothing which can be fixed from the plugin side. Null already implemented paging to improve the user experience for such cases.

im85288 1493 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Outside of EmbyCon does the Kodi UI on it's own not perform as well on android? Yes it’s a general problem on Android as opposed to being skin or addon dependent. I also have Librelec (Linux os) as sualfred mentioned on another box and there’s no problems at all there, so the conclusion is Kodi on Android sucks and probably won’t improve as the main developer jumped ship and went to paid work for Mrmc (which is a fork of kodi!)

sualfred 677 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Btw: MrMC gui engine is outdated compared to Kodi. Afaik it's based on Kodi 16. So Embuary cannot be ported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that, well that sucks Probably because they focused on performance first? The default skin looks really outdated, iirc it's only lately they put the effort on the UI. That's why I instantly remember you, with your GUI prowess you can do wonders, and they're starting from ground up so it should be possible to make it less bloated and add features etc. Wait I'm daydreaming again, haha. I just see a potential of something great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Dunno. The only thing I know is that the complete Android Kodi thing is based on "hacks". The same applies to CoreElec and the Amlogic devices. As soon as they upgraded their GUI version, Embuary will run well if all dependencies can be installed. But that is a different story. I don't know if their Python addon compatiblity is 100% back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im85288 1493 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 No they ‘control’ the python integration. Personally I feel the whole mrmc thing sucks and is just an excuse to cash in on the hard work done by kodi developers. The UI is horrible, even on Apple which was their initial focus. You cannot install python addons so cannot use things like skinhelper etc etc..I’d go nowhere near that project if I were you, it restricts things far too much.

You cannot install python addons so cannot use things like skinhelper etc etc..I’d go nowhere near that project if I were you, it restricts things far too much. First off, I bought MRMC so I'm probably biased, lol. I agree that the UI is horrible, although Ariana skin on it looks promising. That's why I think with Sualfred can do his magic there. Even with that horrible UI tho, the player quality and performance is excellent, that's why I bought it. Another plus is to have Plex and Emby library in one app, without addons. It's very much barebones now, but it plays great, which in the end of the day, the most important factor in a video player. For those who love to tinker and play with addons, I agree that it sucks,you can't really add anything to it. But I think that's the choice they've made to make it more stable and focus on the experience, rather that letting people install addons etc. At least that's logical way to do it. By controlling and restrict, they can do that. Kinda like macOS vs windows debate. Kodi is open source tho, if someone is confident he can sell a fork of it, then by all means. I'm started to sound like MRMC rep now, jeez. It's not all flowers and sunshine, they do lack important feature, like global search, which makes it tedious to find a particular movie / tv show. Anyways, I don't want to go off topic here so, yeah.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree its a general Android issue as any other skin Ive tried other than the default Estuary (which is perfectly smooth btw) stutters terribly on the Shield. I got the Shield thinking I would be getter the best performing box I could get that was simple to use and stable but this GIU performance is just killing me (OCD again!). Looks like its back to Windows for this guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sualfred 677 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Everything is handled by the Player core and the Emby addon. It's just a skin. Please upload a debug log + give a step by step instruction how to reproduce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
