maximumentropy 23 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Sorry if this is a dumb question. Once I log in to the app, is it possible to log out and "forget" the password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some elements still need tweaking but it is mostly there now and I need a break! You must uninstall the previous version before installing this one Special thanks to @@c0m3r for design input! Changelog Complete overhaul of the GUI Added: Support for upcoming security authentication Added: Home & Logout options in the Main Menu Removed: Portrait mode & Experimental Settings Disabled: Music Images 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6766 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Looks good. Will update when get home later. I'll test the token authentication as well and report back.

c0m3r 95 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 @@chessdragon136 just had a quick play and noticed a couple of things. In the menu, the username is yours instead of mine. Also, the selected item on the top menu is red instead of green. Was that intentional as seems to jar the eyes a little bit when moving up to it? And on the episode page I think it would be nice to see the thumbnail pic somewhere on there. I'm guessing you didnt include it as you thought it might take up too much space on the bottom of the screen? Finally, when I changed the home page to show recently added TV it also showed me recently added photos? Other than that, looks great and seems to work much quicker as well.

Sets it apart a little I think. Will have a look at the top bar now and report back. Will have a play with some ideas about the thumb. Looks a little strange without it dont you think?

c0m3r 95 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Seems to fix all the issues to me. Green top bar doesn't stand out as much but think its enough? See what everyone else thinks. Yep understand the reasons. If it cant be done then it cant be done. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6766 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Just updated (didn't uninstall first). Looks very nice, but not sure about the random backdrop on the home screen. Perhaps it should be the backdrop to the item highlighted, plus it needs to be more faded (opaque?), if that's possible. Also, can we have black & white icons on the details page for movie type, encoding, AspectRatio etc, instead of the multi-coloured ones please (personal choice). Rather than having a menu at the top still, can't we just use the Tools button to open the left-hand menu? Other than that, looks very good. And it plays videos too .

And I got to a point where I need people testing all these new GUI changes before I carry on Hey @@chessdragon136 Just downloaded this for the first time and so far it looks awesome, thank you for all the work. One comment I do have, and this could be just me, is that I have a Samsung PN51F5500 that I just bought a week ago and it has one of those touch screen type remotes and it was an absolute nightmare to get my password in. I ended up changing my password to something voice control could understand and did get that in after a few tries. I am sure the later has nothing to do with you and is just the way it is. After getting into the app it is really nice and plays titles perfectly so far, I was getting a lot of pixelization from transcoding. Thank you again for the work, it is appreciated. Cheers CrashKelly EDIT: In the release post for this version, post #803, the second image show a menu bar on the left. For the life of me I cannot get that to show. Is it a specific key? Thanks again EDIT 2: Never mind about the menu bar. Got to it using the "Tools" button from the on-screen remote Edited August 20, 2014 by crashkelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5042 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That's funny. I just loaded the app on my F series tv for the first time too and thought entering the password was absolute hell. Almost threw the remote through the tv. The app itself rocks though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chessdragon136 677 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Ok, thanks all for the comments! Background transparency I'm using the same as MBT.. Personally I think it is right for most situations. As for the random image on home page it is difficult to use the item background as the item could be anything (episode, series, film, and later on images, music...) Greyscale images - I much prefer the colour when i looked into it. Menu at the top? Not sure what you mean @@CBers -> I only have a menu on the home page and on series / movies page and again is a design element from MBT. It works well. Text input sucks! I'm rather limited by what Samsung offer in terms of what i can do but I really want to use the qwerty keyboard, but failed last time (but now i have a modern Samsung so can test easily) Tools issue you resolved yourself - im sure it does say on login page that it is there and the info button will bring up a nasty looking help screen (also mentioned on the login screen) I'll carry on working on visual bits this week and then I'll move onto some functional bits this weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6766 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Menu at the top: I meant that having it on the home page is not needed is it, seeing as we can use the Tools button to get to the same via the side-menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there, Thanks again for the work on this. If you could get the qwerty keyboard up and running that would be awesome. Now that you mention it I do remember about the help screen message. I think I was just so happy to get past the login page that I forgot about it. That and the disconnect between the fact that the info and tools button is not present on the remote itself and you have to hit the "More" button on the physical remote to bring up the on screen remote. None of the latter is you at all, but with things not being on the physical remote it is easy to forget they exist. The app itself is awesome my friend, keep it up Cheers CrashKelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
