Blue Vision (2 Viewers)

[morpheus_xx]

A few more TODOs, so we don't forget about them:
1) No shadows behind list view covers (all sizes)

2) No "Covers" mode for series yet (commented out in MediaStyles):

3) No shadows in cover view for movies (do they fit in here?)

4) No cover (and shadow) in movie list view (grid is ok!)

5) If there are no audio covers, a label would be very helpful in this view. You cannot distinguish the items, no details in footer as well

6) Audio / Cover view has different mirror heights/offsets than movie view:

(Wrong unit: 128 kbit vs. 128 bit at "Bitrate"!)

Hi.
Got some more crashes lately. Seems to be related to the skin that's why I post it here:
var rm = "read_more ..."; var o = "... Read Less"; var adjustheight = 20; // 20; // Client freezes and I need to kill it by taskmanager.

I've added an exception handler around call of WorkflowManager, so this exception is handled now.

One question though: is it intended that there are following combinations of Margin and Row/Column Height/Widths:

• -3 / 18 (1x in MediaStyles.xaml)
  
• -3 / 19 (2x in MediaStyles.xaml)
  
• -3.5 / 22 (1x in MediaStyles.xaml + 1x MediaItemFanart.inc)
  
• -3.5 / 24 (2x in MediaStyles.xaml)
• -4 / 24 (1x in OtherControls.xaml)

Yes, unfortunately it's intentional. Even though it should look equal with same settings it didn't and I had to finetune a bit
I'll try to unify the settings as much as possible, so less variants are needed. Thanks for outsourcing the shadows

1) I tried shadows here. It is not possible, because the grid size is flexible and changing with the image uniformation. Additionally the cover size is scaled according to view size selection (shawows are not scaled). The same is with covers in Onlinevideos. It does not work with the method

2) Yes, Covers for Series / Series Filter / Series Season Filter (I'll commit the style later, code is done DONE) missing so far, because I wanted at first to overwork the blurred focus frame and add shadows --> will follow soon DONE

3) See 2, will follow soon. The shadows can be also used here DONE

4) For me all covers are showing, also in the screenshots from Lehmden as far I saw. I even have the covers, when my NAS storage is switched off, because I changed the code in this direction. Could you recheck once? EDIT: This is definitely not reproducable for me


5) There should be always a footer description with unfiltered audio items and in audio album view. I never had a case, that it was missing, with or without cover ... hmm.
EDIT: You added the Album Filter! I can confirm this now. It does not work, because the MediaItemAudioDetails.inc is not fitting to Albums, but single audio files. I have no idea, how to change this. Any idea is welcome.

6) Cover view looks different here. Can it be, that your screen resolution is different and this causes a problem? I believe(d), that it's always scaled in the same way. DONE: I have updated the reflexion code for all views. It is equal now. Please check, if it works for you.

The Bitrate unit will be changed! 128 Bit would be more the ocean noise DONE

@morpheus_xx
Could you check if the problems remain? Do you think it can be related to the resolution? On the other points I'll work tomorrow.

@Lehmden
I built a version 0.71 with the groupmenu patch. You can check, if crashes can be prevented with this version.

Hi.
Thanks, will do asap. I just have the Summer '15 testbuild installed, so it's exactly the right time to test this too.

Hi.
So far so good. Have used i with "normal" menu settings and mediastyles, just with the grey background and my "button images". No issues up to now, even the navigation seems to be better...

Great I also tried to generate a crash by navigating crazy around the menus. When staying within the main menus everything is very good and as expected.
But the second bug is remaining: E.g. Focus on 3rd visible MediaItem in "Movies" in CoverFlowView and then pressing "arrow-up" bring the GroupMainMenu shortly into "settings" (Because it is ontop of the MediaItem) and then back to "VideoHub".
This should not happen, the GroupMainMenu should remain in "Movies", because it is a SubMenu of the LastSelected GroupMenu entry "VideoHub".

Thats why I did not wrote navigation is good...
