chef 3745 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I actually like the backdrops as it seems to separate the new release from the latest different look because they show duplicates so could there be something that will allow us to choose backdrop images or blu-ray dvd image look? Hmmm... I'm not sure why primary images are not showing up on the home screen on the shield. The plugin doesn't seem to have control over this. At least at first glance.

OnyxUK 78 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Ok no worries and it's greatly appreciated Chef I'm not sure. I think because they fit into both categories they show in both. We might be stuck with that one. Heyy guys, not to sure if this will help but this was brought up with me and chef before, i managed to slow down the copies being created untill a fix is found but the only downside is it doesnt show the row for new releases on home page secondary page it still works great and can see less doubles if you go to settings; home screen tab; scroll down to new releases and un-tick (Display in secondary home screen sections such as latest media and continue watching) but leave the the top one ticked hope this helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3745 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) To follow up with Android homepages displaying thumb/backdrop images instead of primary, this seems like it is by design for channel plugins. The next up section also shows thumbs images. Im afraid this is coded at the client level and is inaccessible to any settings.

I definitely think so... for a lot of us this means less manual work and also it's a lot lighter on the DB than using the SmartPlaylist plugin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I hope the bosses will either work with you on this or give us a native solution. We could also get more control over the latest media sections on the home screen so we could move these sections where we like.

Thanks for suggestion, but i wanted to display those picked movies on home screen in section like new releases and not in list, that why i asked the question. Im heavily missing option that admn can pick / recommend content and show it on home screen in section, like that haloween section that poped up, wonder if devs can use that so that admin can customize that section, that would be nice.

I'd prefer the 365 method, but I'm quite sure that this way is more flexible and I'd get used to it... One other thing though, and I guess that's a bug: on the Shield 2019, not all movies are shown. The web-client does show everything though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
