Re: [Android] aMPdroid 0.6 - Android Remote Control

Yesterday I found some issues in remote control module. I was search something in on-line video plugin
(Youtube). I use a search screen keyboard and aMPdroid keyboard on phone. All signs working except "u" When I pressed "u" on Android screen I have German sign "Ü" ...

On my standard IR keyboard all sign working good. Who will check on your aMPdroid??

Hi Diebagger,

just a quick question. If I press " i ", I see the time bar coming up. With a normal remote I can press it twice to get the menu for aspect ratio/sound etc.. With aMPdroid I can only press once, no menu comes up. Is there I way this is possible? Am I overlooking it?

Extra feedback.
It is a really solid piece of software you wrote Diebagger. It never crashes, and is fast in response... quality stuff feeling already at the first release Congratulations!

First of all, this is pretty nicely done. I'm very excided about this app. Works like a charm and is verry responsive.

Setup and all went fine, everything seems to work out of the box fine.

The only thing i cannot do is download music to my phone. The files remain 0KB and the android says that the downloads are finished. Weird?!
The MP3 files are on a mapped network drive, could this be the issue?

My fault, I changed this to test "umlaute" and forgot to remove it later on. Already fixed.

Will have a look at it (any other buttons you'd like to have?)... Shift modifier will be added to the soft keyboard...

I'll look into it...

JNow that I have it running, I have a weird problem that seems to occur whenever I try to access the series view in ampdroid, it will work once, but after that, it will never load again. MP-TVSeries will then not open in mediaportal. If i close and restart mediaportal, it will just crash while loading, requiring a restart.

Yes I noticed that too on a few occasions, I think there is some problem with the trakt plugin. Restarting the Gma service should also "fix" the problem.

Yes that's most likely the issue. Make sure the user under which the service is running has access rights to these files

music part: last time i tested only with a handful of songs, this time with the whole collection and ran into difficulties^^ music>artist: songs beginning with a non alphabetical letter, e.g. (+44), will load on click but won't play, "not implemented yet" shows up. little different behaviour for artists beginning with an apostrophe, e.g. 'nsync, this will load and load and load and never comes to an end... if i play these titles in music>folders view, they play fine...
next problem was when i tried to access the music>songs tab. i get a "songs loading failed, check your connection". because i didn't get this one last time with the handful of mp3s, i suppose it is the sum of 12k mp3s making problems?

I think that should be already fixed in latest svn.

and some more suggestions:
- with larger collections of music/movies... it takes quite some time to scroll to the end of the list... so maybe you could add a slider to draw? would be a useful addition!
- if you scroll down in your list, then change the view the list starts at the beginning again instead of continueing where you left...
- while playing around sometimes i got disconnected as it seemed, little mepo was not glowing anymore (is this the connection indicator?). so maybe if he is not glowing a click on him will first automatically reconnect and then bring you to the remote section?
- some things you already have on your list for sure: save the chosen views when you enter a section the next time, e.g. banner view for series... (it stays the same if you cycle through the tabs, but if you leave for the mainmenu and return, it is in the default view again...)
- sorting of lists by alphabet, date, ...

All of this is planned in some way or another

Seems to happen to me any time mediaportal isn't in a menu screen, (ie screensaver, playing a file, etc)

restarting the service fixes, as you mentioned.

Also, I get this issue with both movingpictures and tvseries.

Do you think it's related to aMPdroid or GMA itself?

Re: [Android] aMPdroid 0.6 - Android Remote Control

Hi, DieBagger.

First of all, Thanks a lot for this Amassing piece of work.
I Got me a 7”Galaxy Tab just for this, and it works great, and looks great.

There are a few minor things. Maybe you already know and fixed it, but here they are:

1. Albums with various artists have no thumbs (I had to make a copy and rename them to like “Various Artists-Now Music 18”
then I got the “thumb/Albumcover”.

2. Some Albums are empty, often also albums with various artists. But also all U2 albums, and when I changed albumartist from
U2 to Band2 it worked OK.

Some humble suggestions:
Like others I miss some buttons in the remote, but mostly TV-Guide. (On 7” there is a lot of space, I know)
In music I miss a stop-button, and I would like the first Fan (default-fan) to be the Artist-fan and the folder-fan the last.
Or maybe to be able to change it.
And like others say, the main menu is not the same high standard as the rest.

Looking forward to new release’s, as I´m sure this is getting even better.
