Tikuf 663 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Grant an I have been working on the Official Roku Client over the past few days. We have added a bunch of new goodies so far with more to come. (Plus a couple of small fixes.) The Toggle images have been updated and there are now 6 states including Suggested, Latest, Jump In, Resume, Fav, and Genre This version should make navigating large libraries a pleasure more than a chore with the new jump in list allowing you to jump into your collection by letter. Local Trailer support has also been added. We also added the ability to forget the user meaning that you can either log in as a user permanently or be presented with the login screen on each start up. We will also be adding live tv in the next release so stay tuned for that one. Here are some screen shots showing some of the new features. We are hoping for a beta release in a couple of days once we have added a few more goodies. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikuf 663 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Roku gets a face lift and a whole lot more. The next Roku release will include a ton of new features here are some screen shots of just a few. New similar to function for suggested movies. Easy access to your Live tv recordings and Channels + quick access to favorite channels and latest recorded tv. Revamped music quick lists allowing artists and album jump in by letter. Live tv channel guide allowing you to schedule recordings watch live tv and see what is scheduled for recording. Music album Jump in. Music Artist Jump in. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome. This version is not quite ready for consumption there are a few more things to add but it will be hitting the beta channel very soon. Edit: One little thing I forgot to mention if you select a specific toggle (eg movies can be latest and tv can be suggested )it will be remembered in between logins.

Ya there will be a fix but it will have to be a sever fix it may be a little way off. Is there anyway to make Live tv more like a guide then having to go into each channel? We have some limitations here due to roku. but the "on now" will return what is now on your tv channels so you can quick jump to what's being played we are still working on some things ant are hoping to have multiple ways to get to where you want to go.

chipper 1 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 While searching for a way to record shows and play back on the Roku (dvblink, Plex with NextPVR, etc.) I saw http://hdhrfling.com/. The only reason I bring it up here is at the bottom of the page for the Roku screenshot, it appears the listing is in a grid view. First time I've ever seen a grid like that for the Roku. I haven't tried the application so I can't confirm if that is actually how it is presented or a mock-up. Sorry if hdhrfling has been mentioned before...

I have it running right now and I can confirm that it has a very nice grid style EPG. I believe it states "program guide powered by zap2it". In any event it seems to work really well with a newer i5 PC. I found this link to an image of the EPG: http://hdhrfling.com/content/theme/images/roku-diagram.jpg I've mentioned the development over here in their forum.

Tikuf 663 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Ya it is a custom ui which is no small thing to write. That said if we do go with custom ui's then the first one will likely be a poster wall ui first off the ranks. Not saying no but saying if we go that route it would be further down the track.

Recorded tv with latest recordings and grouped recordings Inside the grouped recordings Details page with delete function. A couple more bits of polish to apply then a short beta run.
