RE: Testflight access to beta version - Buschel - 2022-01-30
Of course this opened Pandora's Box. Not all artists are found due to different data types (array of strings, instead of strings). Currently the query misses music video artists. Let's see.
Edit 1: With a bit of tweaking also searching for directors is possible. Quite nice.
https://abload.de/img/simulatorscreenshot-iznjgi.pngEdit 2: This could even be enhanced to search for the cast. This would require some more code, but still manageable.
RE: Testflight access to beta version - UlfSchmidt - 2022-01-30
Sorry for any inconvenience my request may have caused. But so happy to see that you finally agreed that it’s worth working on it!
(I very seldom use music videos, since most of my music videos are part of my movies collection)
RE: Testflight access to beta version - Buschel - 2022-01-30
@UlfSchmidt, is the string "Genesis" part of the title for your music DVDs?
RE: Testflight access to beta version - UlfSchmidt - 2022-01-30
Yes, it is. That’s also the way the standard movies scrapers do it.
RE: Testflight access to beta version - Buschel - 2022-01-30
Thanks, makes sense. I was just wondering as there is no "artist" for movies.
Btw, found and fixed a nasty bug in one of the recent Global Search changes. When using one of the other main menus (e.g. Music or Movies) and you go to a view which is not the very first (e.g. Artists, Genres, Movie Sets) and then you select an item once (e.g. an artist, genre or movie set) the UI screws up. You can only leave this view when re-entering the whole area (e.g. Music or Movies). I found the problem and fixed it, but the last TF build still has this showstopper. Sorry for the inconvenience, this is why I told these are pure test builds.

@Buschel
Wow that was a really good catch on the movie sets!
I did notice another peculiarity with global search and the index.
I’m the other menus like movies when the index gets wider like searching by year, the list items actually get narrower. This makes the index more visible and prevents the index from overlapping.
In global search the list items do not get narrower and index overlapping is very noticeable.
I also noticed that in fact on wider indexes even in movies the same shadow box offset from the very top is present. I know you said you exhausted all possibilities to fix this but wanted you to know it’s apparently not a new problem just with global search. 🙂
I also wanted to show that I’m still experiencing that tcp issue. Now on the main menu it shows green but on the settings pane is yellow?

I’m also noticing a new glitch on the now playing screen that I know was t there before. If you go to that pane from the quick access button from anywhere there is a black horizontal bar visible for about a second. This is not present when accessing from the main menu.
Late edit: I wasn’t actually looking for new bugs but encountered this on accident through actual use.
I managed to find a way to break the flashlight feature.
If you have the flash light enabled from iOS native control panel then try and turn it off from Kodi it will turn it off and back on. Then if you attempt to turn it off again from Kodi it will turn off. The app probably should check with iOS to see if it’s on so this doesn’t happen.
I tested the other way once I discovered this. If Kodi turns on the flash light then the flash light button on the iOS control panel is disabled entirely.

RE: Testflight access to beta version - UlfSchmidt - 2022-01-31
Just out of curiosity: what is this "flashlight feature"?
RE: Testflight access to beta version - Buschel - 2022-01-31
This is the torch (German: Taschenlampe). It can be enabled/disabled from the remote screen or when a server is not connected.
RE: Testflight access to beta version - amasephy - 2022-01-31
I had a little laugh about the naming of this flashlight/torch. Maybe I’m at least for English it could be renamed simply flashlight in the app. That is what iOS calls it in the control center. Led Torch is a bit of an unusual name for a flashlight. 🙂
RE: Testflight access to beta version - Buschel - 2022-01-31
@amasephy, I decided to just show index numbers instead of the name for the Global Search sections (1, 2, 3, ...) -- the section headers themselves of course still show the long name. This was finally the best compromise. The user can still reach the different sections quickly, and also the sort order can be pre- defined and is not influenced by the translations anymore. I wanted to have movies on top, which was not working when sorting the sections by name. Looks like this now: https://abload.de/img/simulatorscreenshot-i4yj9d.png
Edit: The progress bar being visible for a fraction of a second is fixed (PR#588).

RE: Testflight access to beta version - amasephy - 2022-02-10
@Buschel
Looks like you’ve been really busy with this release. Really appreciate you merging the test stuff into the beta.
Just a few quick notes from using.
I noticed a quirk related to the search bar offset related to the index. I’m not sure if it’s new or not but it seems to be? It might actually give you a clue on how to eliminate the shortening of the search box when the index text widens. Basically it involves flipping between views and you can trick the search bar to ignore index width. This is really weird so I’m attaching a video to show it in action. I don’t think you set out to fix this yet but I was constantly running into that race condition related to the search box while trying to figure out how to reproduce this.
Sorry for the short delay in the video but the last few seconds show another bug related to the index. If you are in grid view on movies and you tap the “more” button (the … one) you’ll find the index does not hide like it does in list view.
https://youtube.com/shorts/BL0vuCQZLYc?feature=share
Finally, your last post said you were going to change global search indexes to be integers outside of the plain alphabet. It doesn’t look like that’s implemented?
RE: Testflight access to beta version - Buschel - 2022-02-10
1. Index keeps visible when switching from grid view to "more" -> Confirmed. Will look into this. -> Edit: Fixed
2. Search bar. -> Thanks for pointing this out. Looks like a race condition which helps the auto-layout. But I really do not know what to do about it.
3. Index in Global Search -> This is implemented. You just need to synchronize via pull-down again.
As a side note: The Global Search changes as well as the view modes for TV shows need a re-synchronization with the database (pull-down). Otherwise you might see nasty effects like only a portrait snippet of a banner is shown, or the portrait-sized thumbnails are empty. As I expect this might confuse users I am thinking of forcing a re-sync of the data when a new App version is becoming active. Is anything speaking against this?
RE: Testflight access to beta version - UlfSchmidt - 2022-02-10
Today’s error (when trying to update the list of TV recordings):
Die Daten konnten nicht gelesen werden, da sie nicht das korrekte Format haben.
METHOD
PVR.GetRecordings
PARAMETERS
{properties=(title,starttime,endtime,plot,plotoutline,genre,playcount,resume,channel,runtime,lifetime,icon,art,streamurl,file,radio,directory);sort={ignorearticle=0;method=label;order=ascending;};}
Worked in the past flawlessly. Encountering this for the very first time. But this is a general issue, also the previous builds still available show the same behavior today. Don’t know, maybe some recording that contains some special characters or similar? Anything else I can provide for debugging?
