I haven't looked into Chromecast yet, but I have no objection to adding it in the future. I've got a few other things I'm working on before then though.

About the only suggestion I have left is to add the ability to change channels while watching live TV. Maybe the up/down buttons on the remote could control this function for non-touch devices and maybe a swipe up/down gesture for touch devices.

Installed on all my Android TV devices. It is working better than Kodi/SPMC on them as they randomly stop with lost connection messages.
Everything works well. A couple of things to look at on Android TV. - On the settings page moving down doesn't highlight the video bitrate bar, it is very difficult to select and adjust this. - On the startup, add server page, it is also unclear if the add server button is selected or the current server listed is selected. - Top horizontal menu navigation to right highlights each section and displays that page Channels, Guide, Recordings, Settings. Moving left highlights, not red underline, but does not automatically display the page. - On the guide page, pressing the back button does not take you to the server list page like all the other pages do.

It depends on what you have selected to start with and what you did on the page. If you have Channels selected, moving RIGHT only moves the selector box, and does not automatically change the page. If you are on the Channels page BUT have a channel selected, moving RIGHT past the last column moves the red underline bar, and DOES automatically change the page. If you have Guide selected BUT have NOT moved the cursor down into the guide, then moving EITHER left OR right moves the red underline bar, and DOES automatically change the page. If you have Guide selected AND have moved the cursor down into the guide and back up, then moving EITHER left OR right only moves the selector box, and does not automatically change the page. The other two pages are similar to the Guide page. In essence it depends on if you have gone down into a page and back up that seems to dictate what will happen when you move left/right across the tabs. It can be a bit confusing at first, but it doesn't take long to get used to. I don't see this as a huge bug, more of a minor inconsistency but it should probably be addressed eventually. Personally I would like the Add/Select Server page to be completely removed and placed under Settings. On the apps first run (or if no servers have been added), it could still display the add server portion in Settings first. Also if if the connection ever drops, the app should auto reconnect to the last server used without having to use that screen. For now sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.

Most of them will not show focus by default. I'll continue chipping away at improving the UI. Quote:- Top horizontal menu navigation to right highlights each section and displays that page Channels, Guide, Recordings, Settings. Moving left highlights, not red underline, but does not automatically display the page.This is another one of weird things default Android controls do on Android TV. This tab/navigation control works great on touch devices (mobile/tablet), but is a bit average on Android TV. You get used to it after a while, when you realise you often have press OK to complete the selection of the tab. They've made this control much more complicated than it needed to be - and unfortunately there is no easy way for me to change any of it's behaviour. Its the same app on both mobile and Android TV, so I need to be conscious that changes to one type of user will effect the others too. There is the possibility I'll replace the tab control with something else in the future, but it's a relatively big change, so not soon. Quote:- On the guide page, pressing the back button does not take you to the server list page like all the other pages do.I'll check this. |
