2 improvements and a bug

[malo87 13]

Hi,

 

like the title says I like to share two improvements and one bug

 

 

1.) Playlist navigation / scrolling

 

while using Emby with larger playlists it's very complicated for me to navigate / scroll quick.

Especially when using it mirrored on a car head unit. 

Would be great to have something like a scrollbar for quicker navigation (like the red example)

 

 

 

2.) Missing Favorite icon

 

When using Emby on my desktop pc I have a heart symbol next to each song to mark it as favorite.

Can't find this option on Android even in the context menu.

Could you add this please?

 

3.) Add element to playlist

 

The bug occurs on android and also by using the mobile version of Emby.

When I add a song to a playlist I get this circle icon for a endless time.

The song is added to the playlist but I'll never get any response.

Hi, thanks for the info. We'll take a look. As far as #3 goes, can you please attach the emby server log? Thanks.

HI Luke,

sorry for wasting your time with #3

I forgot to set uid and gid in the /etc/fstab mount to my NAS, so the files are owned by user root and not by user emby

 

Added elements are shown in the Emby playlist but the playlist itself doesn't contained the changes physically. 

Maybe it will be good to show an error message in such situations for the user

Yes, a friendly error message would be better, thanks.
