fedxing 0 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hi, Ever since the V3 Win8.1 App release, Live Tile no longer works. The option to turn on/off Live Tile is also gone. To be honest, live tile is the only feature I use in this app as I am running Windows 8.1 HTPC and the Media Browser live tile sits nicely in the start screen. It shows me new movies/tv shows in my library. Does the v3 app require additional instructions to get live tile working? I have not enabled the "connect" feature and I logon manually to the server (on the same machine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedxing 0 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Paid $4.50 for this app and I can't even get a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deihmos 147 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I don't see a live tile support. I think it did in the past but cannot remember. It has lock screen support though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedxing 0 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 @@Deihmos. Like I said, I only bought this app because of Live Tile and it has been sitting in my Windows 8 start screen showing me new movies added in my library for a year a now, until the latest update.

7illusions 1249 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm sorry! Like Luke said, I totally missed this one.. It will be fixed in the coming version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos 147 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) I just checked the tile and it is live. Did you open the app and allowed it to run in the background? Seems a bit strange to use that tile to see what is new on an HTPC. Edited December 7, 2014 by Deihmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedxing 0 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) @@7illusions, thanks @@Deihmos, You do not need to open the app and have it running in the background, you just need to have a saved login method. And like I said, I have been using this feature for about a year now. My windows 8.1 HTPC boots in Start screen and that is how I like it. From there, I can choose to run WMC, Mediabrowser Theater, XBMC, all using Mediabrowser server in the backend. I can also switch to watching Netflix/Hulu/etc. from the Start Screen. The live tile on the Media Browser app is very useful as it scrolls new/unwatched movies while I'm in the windows 8 start screen.
