UWP Testers

[7illusions 1249]

Not gonna get a chance to test until later/tomorrow, sorry.

 

No worries

[Vicpa 611]

It is a go on the PC side   But I am thinking xb1 is the main concern,  

 

Looking and working really nicely 7

I'm still seeing the huge splash screen

 

Too bad it is transcoding DTS

[7illusions 1249]

Do you wanna test Bitstreaming dts? Can be included in next beta if you have the hardware for it.

[FrostByte 5392]

This is what I'm seeing at startup.  It displays correctly the first time, then the screen expands real big.  Ignore the colors, it's just the glare from the window and my phone. 

 

Edit: I need to learn how to take screen shots with my XB

My computer and network can handle it as long as the XB1 can I should be fine

Do I get to play too ? My htpc and receiver can handle it

It still has a few bugs the PC version has, but navigation is a lot better with this version.  I think it would be easier once I get my remote, not sure my wife will want to use the controller much

[7illusions 1249]

Yes, bugs are there, but I think it's more important to get this to store and then fix the lower priority bugs afterwards.

[FrostByte 5392]

I didn't know about the 'X' button.  That helps a lot

[FrostByte 5392]

I don't see any reason not to release it.  Unless you want to fix that thing with the splash screen real quick.  Looks odd at the beginning

When fixing that, I will have to test some other stuff as well, so it might not be as simple as that.

I do think that it will be a week tops until next release though.

[FrostByte 5392]

Ahh, okay.  Everything seems simple when you're not the encoder

[FrostByte 5392]

For music is there a way to get to the controls without scrolling through the whole album or playlist? I've got some long ones and the only way I've figured how to get down there is to scroll through all songs to the bottom

 

Edit: this is on the XB1 using the controller

I found that if you go up to the hamburger menu and hold the thumbstick down for a few seconds it jumps down there

[7illusions 1249]

Not yet I'm afraid.

Looking into moving the player up to the header instead on xb1

[Vicpa 611]

That may be a good idea.   Every time I click "skip" it jumps back out of the now playing bar so I have to navigate back down there using that trick

 

Not yet I'm afraid.

Hey 7

 

maybe the whole playbar can be set to Visual engagement=true or required whatever it is. As I understand that it will keep you in the control until you want to exit?

[7illusions 1249]

Can you get me screenshot like the one below with a DTS that transcodes and one with DTS HS?

[7illusions 1249]

It still would be hard to reach when it's at the bottom.

I'll look into some platform specific versions I think

[Vicpa 611]

Here is one I am sure Frostbyte has some as well. How many do you need?

 

[7illusions 1249]

Mkv + DCA, what other combos do you have?

[FrostByte 5392]

All DTS formats transcode right now.  The DTS decoder in all receivers can pull the lossy DTS track from DTS-HD if the system doesn't support DTS-HD.  Here is a loss DTS mediainfo though

 

 

[FrostByte 5392]

I also have some DTS-ES (LoTR, Star Wars and others), codec is still DCA though
