PlayOn Start Screen

Any chance that these icons will be improved? These are non-intuitive and low resolution..

 

Also, I don't want the extra step of this page. Typically I have to Click Movies and TV then find Netflix or Amazon Video then click them and then be presented with a whole bunch more screens to navigate. Can this be simplified? How about setting Favorites on the start screen where you can jump directly where you want to go or at least directly to the provider you want to stream from.

Seconded on both points!

@@snazy2000, is there any update on this?

 

Also, what about load speed? Of all the plugins and channels this is the absolute slowest. Is it pull meta data from the internet each time it loads? Can that be cached instead? I think the only slower thing is the TV Guide and probably for the same reason because all the data needs to be parsed each time?

As far as the look goes, I liked the original presentation of the channels that was displayed in the image below from the original blog post for the plugin.  I would like the option of having that be the default view.  This is the way that it is presented in Playon itself.  Once you click on the channel, it gives you the links to categories and then drills down further from there.

Now that the Emby database loads PlayOn lightning fast it would be nice to make this screen go away but maybe it isn't possible because it is the first screen you see in the native PlayOn application. Any news @@snazy2000 ? I know you are busy with more important obligations right now so this can most certainly wait..

Hi, have you checked the Emby Server plugin catalog? You can learn more about that on our wiki:

IIR, @snazy2000 had a baby but that was a while ago. Can we get any updates on this? 

[Luke 42077]

I would try sending him a PM.

[Sammy 790]

I did a week ago and never heard back.

I have been following this for a while. I just made the switch to playstation vue and cut the cord with the cable company. Because I don't own a PlayStation, or Chromecast, or any other device I took a chance with playon and holy crap, all my channels are nearly available through playon's interface. The only issue is, playon plugin for emby theater is sketchy at best. It almost never loads any of the channels to actually play anything. I have to leave emby theater and watch it on the playon app instead. The menus are hard to navigate through and the recording feature is broken.

Any chance of an update to this app? Nothing's changed in over a year, nearly two

 

Thanks.
