Emby Theater

On the local lan the auto-login works that is all that matters.

Good news - you can now schedule new recordings inside of Emby Theater. Management of existing recordings will come next, so for now, you'll have to use another Emby app for that.

Great work @@Luke this is a huge milestone

 

I tried it made few recordings work as expected. Few suggestions I have

 

Hide the pre and post I think they are unnecessary and it will just frighten non advanced users I would move that to settings

 

Clicking on the record button to change from green to a red button and then in a second or two take you back to the main screen now at least on my screen I click record then text moves down then you notice the record goes green then you get lost nothing is happening then you realise you have to click again on record it takes me back. That is a click too many for me.

 

Ability to cancel a recording some time in the future.

 

Instead of recording jumping full screen a smaller window to open.

 

Thank again

Good feedback, thanks. I will hide the padding fields in tv mode, and put them under an advanced collapsible in mobile and desktop.

 

I've added the 3-dot more menu to detail screens. It only has one function right now which is Download, but you can expect more to be added. Currently the windows app pops open a file saver dialog when you click Download. It's not remote friendly as of yet so that will have to be addressed in the future.

Great addition. Looking forward to the management of recordings. I have some questions/suggestions:

 

• will it feature a way to delete a recording?
• will recordings within series be 'stacked' (like MCE does)
• will there be the name of the recording also? What I see is in the added picture and I can't decide what to run.
• will the NEW text leave the guide?

All in good time

It is way better now, it feels very user friendly now.

Another useful item to do could be if there is a recording icon on the the actual thumbnail for now playing, upcoming programs etc. Like it is in guide solid circle for one off recording and one for series recording.

 

Just noticed that it is in the web client already.

I've added refresh to the 3-dot menu on the detail screen, for those who might like to do that.

[Guest asrequested]

This is great progress. Great job, Luke! Any chance we could get some kind of refresh on the guide page? Scrolling is somewhat okay, but when you drag the scroll bar with the mouse, the time moves first then the guide moves to align with the time.

[Guest asrequested]

Channel numbers in the guide are still missing when windowed.

The circle does appear when I exit of the detailed screen and come back to it but I meant on the actual live tv home screen like it is in the screenshot of web client you see the series recording for a show that I used as an example can the same thing be done in emby theater. 

 

The refresh button doesn't do anything except for a notification Refresh queued. 

 

When you make a recording the notification scheduled recordings is missing a space.

 

 

Thank you

The refresh button queues the item for refreshing on the server.

Has anything altered with the video player? I'm getting heaps of dropped frames with certain content (29 fps stuff) - but playing the same content in MPC-HC works fine (both are using MadVR and the same MadVR settings).

 

-edit-

 

Setting Smooth Motion to "Never" fixed it. I'd had it set at "Almost Always" for ages - and hadn't had an issue before.

The guide used to work now all I get is this.

I think you've posted this to the wrong thread.

[soundsnake8 27]

You are right sorry !

[Luke 42077]

2.2.8 is up, which brings us up to Chromium 50 now.

[georgewill76 14]

Hi Luke

 

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I have just installed version 2.2.8 on two computers and I am receiving the following message was install is complete:

 

The program can't start because MSVCP140.dll is missing

 

Both machines are clean installs with all windows updates installed on them.  Is there a problem with the installer as once the installation has completed I cant run Emby Theater as the error keeps appearing.  I have tried installing again but same message,

Yes, he's right about Visual C++ 2015. I've put up 2.2.9 which will check for it, and give you instructions if it's not present.

[soundsnake8 27]

I have installed Visual C ++ x86 and x64 but ET will still not open it asks for Visual C ++ even though it is installed I tried a reboot and no change. Looking forward to resolution

Thanks

[njoak 23]

Same here.

[Luke 42077]

Install 2.3.1 from the website and go through the process again, thanks.

[soundsnake8 27]

Sorry no change at all. I installed 2.3.1 and upon completion it still asks for Visual C ++ but it is already installed
