Media Browser Client (iOS) iPad

[kreeturez 27]

Can confirm today's release also sorts out the occasional seeking issues I was having (both with the drag-and-drop slider as well as with the FF/REW buttons).

 

My last usability request is doing some kind of an auto-library-refresh if more than, say, an hour (or a user-configurable duration) has passed since the last one. The Mrs keeps forgetting to do the pull-down :-)

 

Excellent, excellent work.

@@DaN I think the limitation was to keep the contents separate but will have to check on it.

Shall I post a request somewhere?

[darwindeeds 356]

Thanks for posted about the fix. Please create a request in uservoice and we will prioritize the requests based on it. I agree that pull down is not ideal.

Great app and thanks for the effort so far ...

 

Got the much awaited app and initial impressions were great. Looks great, works great... but I've got a bit of an issue with the library referesh ...

I've recently added some content to the library  - all other clients show it almost immediately the ipad app howerver does not. It is not consistent however ...

 

Some newly added content does seem to show in the folder section however it is not visible under the movie view (yes it is a movie) or in the search.

 

Other occasions it shows in the recent section of the home but no where else including the search ....

 

It also varies per user (not a differecne in parental control)

 

Other clients see the newly added content immediately.

 

It may just take time on this client but not convinced as this content was added on Sunday and I see no reason for it to be user specific and so slow. Any assistance would be appreciated.

@@tmb4016, the media information is cached locally for performance, so pull down on any of your lists to refresh it from the server. We would like to make the refresh from server more dynamic in future updates.

Hi, This really looks great. But I must be doing something wrong and could use some help.

Both on my iPad and on my iPhone. The screen stays black when I'm trying to play a DVD or a TV show. On top it says "now playing" but nothing happens.

Does the media need to be in a certain format?

What could be wrong over here?

[darwindeeds 356]

What is the your media format?

[JohnVee 18]

After the latest update, the movies section still takes between 30-45 seconds to populate.

 

This happens both on the iPad 2 and iPad mini (non retina) with about 1400 movies.

Hi all, any word on when we might expect DLNA to work in the iPad app? That would make it the ultimate tool in my house as the kids seem to fumble with the browser interface.

The beta version has the DLNA working, we are currently testing it. There are couple issues that needs to be sorted out but the next update should have the DLNA remote support.

Is there any way to remove a server once it's added?

 

I added the server without a name, so added it again with a name and now have 2 listed.

 

Swiping to the right on the server name will bring up the option to edit or delete.

Hmm.. I tried that earlier and it prompted me to log in as a user.

 

I'll try again!

just like a contact, slide the server you want to delete to the right, it will pull out the "Edit" and "Delete" options

Purchased app. Interface is great. Video flawless. No sound

iPad Air. And iPhone 5. Same thing.

Media browser server works fine in media center.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Check your iPad is not on silent mode? (The switch on the side must not show orange...)

Hello all hope you can help me on this just moved over from plex to this so far it's ace but how do I change the

themes on the iPad I see it there but I don't have any to pick from can anyone help me out on this big thanks .

[Durandahl 2]

Little issue for me that I, for the life of me, can't remember if it existed before the update or it's entirely new. I've scanned these posts, but I apologise in advance if it's already been mentioned. When using the iPad app as a remote control (on two different clients: one for media browser theatre and one for media browser classic), I can pause the movie with the app but can not unpause - the icon doesn't swicth back to a triangle (assuming it ever did). My only option is to stop the movie and resume from where it was left off. Maybe this was always like this and I never noticed, but it seems unlikely.

Again, apologies if it's already been brought up.

Thanks for the feedback.

We did notice that the forward/rewind button doesn't work in the latest release, possibly introduced by a regression. it will be marked as high priority issue and fixed in the next update. 

The slider does work, but the sensitivity seems to be low, so for smaller seeks it doesn't seem to work. It is quite annoying when coupled with the forward/rewind issue so both these issues with be fixed in the next update.

Can you please elaborate the issue related to resume videos? This is the first that am hearing this.

Watched button works, if you mark a movie watched and go back to the list, it does not reflect that it is watched as the list is cached and you need to pull to refresh to get the latest data. Caching was our primary need so we decided to handle this issue on the future updates. We have drafted out a way to handle this issue, the implementation will be underway soon (probably after the first few critical fixes). Until then, the users will have to periodically pull to refresh to get latest items. Although, if the user goes back to detail it will be marked as completed as that is a realtime call.

 

Please note that, with iOS apps we have limited beta testers support unlike other platforms so we have to, in someways, rely on end users like you reporting these issues. We appreciate that you have taken time to report these issues. We have scheduled periodic updates that will fix some of these critical issues.

 

 

I am also experiencing the resume issue.  I was watching a TV show, and I locked my iPad for a moment.  When I went to resume it the time bar/slider indicated it was at the proper position, but it was in fact starting the show from the beginning.  Also if I move the slider to a different location it stays where I move it, but once again starts the show from the beginning.  I hope this is helpful.
