7illusions 1249 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 It would be awesome if you could post what features that are missing in the Win8 and WP apps since you feel that they are so bareboned.. We work as fast as we can, but letting us know what you want is easier than us guessing what the community needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7illusions 1249 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Good points, thanks. Constructive criticism is always good. I'll do my best to get 1, 2 and 3 in there. 4 is already implemented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37007 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Scott's next release is in progress as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 quality/bitrate selection on WP app (Scott) since without that it is only useful while on WiFi. I think the other things I want/need are already in the works (if the above isn't already as well) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was testing the app this morning on my laptop not my tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icthusman1 23 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) A dev who responds! I love that! If I recall correctly, you develop the Windows 8 app? For you I can address those specific issue. 1. Shuffle. I appreciate now having access to Playlists but I really need to be able to shuffle the music in them. Sorry, I don't NEED I just WANT this ability. 2. A way to add music to an existing playlist without having to create a new one. 3. Search 4. That Windows thing where you can click on a letter and get the alphabet being displayed so you can jump somewhere. Otherwise your app is well designed and seems to work pretty well. WP8/8.1 items 1. Playlist support! 2. Transparent tile (not a big deal but would be nice) edit on #2 - My bad. I missed this setting. I do like some of the changes Scott has made in the app. I should also apologize here. I was out of the line with my frustration but it still feels like the WP app lags behind the other apps. Scott and 7illusions I do appreciate your guys hard work. I only wish I could do what you do. Thanks guys and sorry for the poorly thought out post from earlier.

icthusman1 23 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I have to admit, I am seriously thinking about switching to Plex. They regularly update their WP8 and Windows8 apps with features and bug fixes. I like Mediabrowser better and have supported the server and bought both Windows clients but the barebonesness of the apps is frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottIsAFool 517 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Playlists will be coming, I promise you that, and channel support, too, and quality/bitrate. I'm looking at getting a minor update (one with no UI changes) out soon that will pave the way for a bigger update to come. I appreciate the movement on this app has been slower of late, and I apologise for that, sadly there are only so many hours in a day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you could also look into an issue I reported months ago? When the music is left paused for a while and then you start listening again it finishes the current song and then replays that song before moving on to the next one.

Put a note in the email to say what it's regarding so I know what it's about. I am working on replicating this issue. It just happened the other day when I was using the app but I am going to try and force it to happen again. On another note, any plans on implementing a way to jump to specific songs in the Now Playing list? Any idea why I am unable to go backwards tracks? When I hit the back button (on the player controls) it restarts the song. No matter how many times I hit it, it always just restarts the song.

Good suggestion regarding jumping to tracks in the playlist (I actually thought I'd done that, but having just tried it, I can see I didn't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icthusman1 23 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Jumping tracks on the now playing list will be in the next release. Squee! Sorry, I was listening to the Windows Weekly podcast earlier and Mary Jo Foley used this expression. I found it amusing. Any chance of getting track time added?

icthusman1 23 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 To where? That now playing list? Sorry, yes. It would be nice to see the track time when looking at the now playing screen. Sometimes it is nice to see you are 1:47 into a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a note in the email to say what it's regarding so I know what it's about. I just emailed you logs on this issue. Has been happening continuously today since the latest update. Although, I had to clear the logs and make it happen again before I could send the logs. So you will probably only see it occur once. edit: I had this issue happen multiple times yesterday on my way home from work. However, every time I tried to email the logs it crashed the email client. Edited September 12, 2014 by icthusman1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icthusman1 23 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 It looks like it's there now. Please be aware, this update will require you to authenticate with the server again. Downloaded and testing. The jump to is working. However, have you noticed that when you tap on, say, track 3 it will highlight track 2, start playing track 3, and then highlight 3? Seems kind of odd. Also, any plans to make the play button work when on the Artists view? I wanted to queue up everything from the artist but when I clicked that play button it took me into the artist and started playing nothing? Conversely, nothing started playing when tapping the play button by the Artist name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
