corey 312 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 @leeknight1981 -- As @ebr mentioned if you can provide the runtime of the show as reported by Emby that would be very helpful. The way it's currently implemented the next up banner should display approximately 35 seconds from the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speechles 1917 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) You could make it display minutes and seconds and clean up users having to do math in their minds. I like the idea and how simple this is to present. But I would make it just say "MM:SS" on the count down rather than "SS Seconds". No translation required. Everybody understands 3:45 would mean minutes and seconds not hours and minutes in a count down such as this. If it just says 32 and counts down 1 every second it becomes obvious what the number is.

Yeah but it comes up far too soon and kinda spoiles what your watching unless you click hide, why can’t it be 30 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can "sorta predict" where the credits happen and how long those credits might be. It just sounds like the prediction logic is off a bit.

ebr 14904 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I think it is more likely that somehow the progress information is off somehow since no one else is reporting this it may be related to the media. Is this happening with all the shows you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Apple TV, this countdown is 32 s for 20, 40 and 50 min, it seems independent on length of the item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this only 2 or 3 times In all the time I have been using the application, I have not reported it because I have never been able to reproduce it and I have taken it as an unusual error.

I’ve been unable to repeat it as well so it’s been difficult to provide guidance. Since this user can repeat it seemingly consistency the only recommendation I have would be to request server access so I can debug it better.

Yeah I won’t publicly open anything up, I can provide logs etc. I was hoping someone that created the code for the bar to know why it’s doing it of that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I can’t replicate (I assist and maintain the app so I’m very familiar with the code) the issue in my environment I won’t be able to fix it. The code is very explicit in that it’s the runtime of the item as reported by the server minus a fixed time so it should always display around 30s from the end.
