dark_slayer 103 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Not trying to get out of paying, but just a general curiosity. If I have four users on my server, and I'm a supporter . . . does each user get to use the FTV app as a supporter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aperry 16 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks for the quick response. I will play around with it some more tonight and report back. Just as an FYI, ffmpeg was dying for some reason however a reboot of the computer seemed to correct everything. Live TV works well now. I've bought the full version. Thanks for this great app!

As long as you are connected to a server with a valid supporter key via a local LAN the app will be registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our intention is to let everyone in your household use it with your supporter membership. Therefore it's currently limited to devices that are able to detect your server on the lan. We'll improve on that I'm sure, it's only for the first run, but those who aren't in your household will need to buy the app or become a supporter themselves.

mgworek 121 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Not specifically but the "Latest" row that is in most views only includes unplayed items - sorted by added date descending. Do you guys have plans to add a unplayed filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14925 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Do you guys have plans to add a unplayed filter? The interface doesn't lend itself to actual filtering but perhaps a new row of only un-played movies in the movie view. I'll consider it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jluce50 118 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Has anyone else noticed that FF'ing/RWD'ing is almost useless? You can only skip 30s at a time and then there is a fairly lengthy delay while the video catches up. So really, there's a laggy "skip", but no actual FF/RWD functionality. Is this something that can be added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14925 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yeah, as long as you are trying to go somewhere that hasn't been transcoded yet, that is going to be the case. However, I have found it to be quite responsive once the transcoding has caught up to where you are trying to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger issue is there is no real FF/RWD. I lost my spot in a show and it took forever to get to where I left off by skipping 30 sec at a time.

Luke 37099 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Skipping repeatedly won't work out very well if the transcoder has to keep jumping around repeatedly. Ebr might want to see if he can guard against that, if the video player UI allows it. What i mean is, after a user skips 30 seconds, don't let them do it again until the video has loaded at the new position. That will make it more stable. Then what you can also do is add a delay of time to process the skip command. For example, if user presses skip 10 times, you don't want to have to wait for 10 transcodes to start and stop. So maybe introduce a 500ms delay, where you don't process the command until the user has stopped pressing buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, between automatic resume capability and the chapter access, skipping around should not be needed that much. Then what you can also do is add a delay of time to process the skip command. For example, if user presses skip 10 times, you don't want to have to wait for 10 transcodes to start and stop. So maybe introduce a 500ms delay, where you don't process the command until the user has stopped pressing buttons. MBC does that very thing but, since seeking was being handled by the component here (so I thought) I didn't get that fancy with this implementation. I'll look at it.

mgworek 121 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I don't see TV shows nearly as helpful since "Next Up" is already right there. Next up is useless to people with large libraries. I have over 300 shows. 220 of them have unwatched shows. I want to browse my shows from 0-z with just unplayed/unwatched shows. I am not trying to be a pain. Plex took unwatched filter away and told us how we should watch tv a few years ago and a group of us fought for it to come back. We got it back and it was half assed and never worked right. We told them it didn't work, they blamed us and then it somehow started working right (for a little bit of time) after a server update after months of reporting it broken. Still doesn't work right and its one of the reasons I left. Like i said earlier, I will just stick with Kodi as my front end and Emby as my awesome server. Unwatched/UnPlayed has been around for years since XBMC and don't understand why developers are taking it away. It is needed for large libraries. Even for movies, if you want to filter by a genre, you still don't want to see movies you've already seen.
