Moonfin, a new cross platform client

[arrbee99 1872]

Still hoping for option for details screen to look similar to spotlight (everything moved down out of backdrops way).

Hi mate, thanks a lot for the 2.4.0 update on Android TV. The game issue is excellent; you've gained a big fan! Perhaps in the future, you could add a side search to TV Live, like Jellyfin has on Android TV. That would be great! This update fixed some bugs and it's excellent. Great job!

Hi,

I'm using moonfinn now for a couple of weeks and it's working great.

Very happy so far.

Latest 2.4.0 ha basically fix the biggest issue for me with audio transcoding on AndroidTV.

Sorry I'm just not on these forums often, I'm usually on the Moonfin community discord or doing things on GitHub.

1. It's being worked on
2. Yes, it's on the README
3. No

Yes, Settings > Playback > Video > Live TV Direct

Hey @bingbong69_, really enjoy the app. Its honestly the only app that makes me consider not using the official Emby App all together. I only have a few minor issues with it.

I'm using a Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen 128gb

I use the Virtual TV plugin(Allows you to create custom channel) with Emby, when I use Moonfin the Virtual TV channels play great. The issue I face are with the UI. Options to skip forward/back, next episode/previous, etc are not there.

These are the only UI elements I get when watching a Virtual TV Channel (I'm assuming this is the case because it thinks its a "Live" channel)

I thought it may not be possible with Moonfin but when I pressed the Play/Pause button on the remote (Has to be the button on the remote, cant just press the UI element) it shows more UI options

Here are the additional options that show after pressing Play/Pause button. And they are usable, I'm able to do everything I would be able to do with the Emby App.

I know this is a pretty niche issue but its so close to being perfect I had to reach out. 

Thanks

@bingbong69_I think a better solution after further investigation is to have the option for additional UI element (Skip foward/backward, Next/previous Episode) when the channel is not detected as "Live".

After looking at playback information for the Channels it seems there are indicators if a channel is "Live" or not. 

Here is an example of a actual "Live" channel

On the Virtual TV channels it shows it is not a live channel.

So far this app is working great for me. I have tweaked a lot of the settings to just the way I like it. 

I am having one issue in the presentation of my poster and thumbs on the home screen. They look very blurry and low quality. In the Emby app they look really nice. I tried to look for any setting regarding this but can't find anything. Am I missing something somewhere or is this just how the app compresses these?

This looks interesting, but what I'm not clear on is how to install it on both an Emby and a 2016 Samsung TV.

I think it would be good to clarify this on the website.

Can someone tell me how to install it on both an Emby and a 2016 smart TV?

Do I need a Premiere account to install it?
