Looking sweet! Thank you for your continued work on this!
A few of comments:
1. In the first image, it is not clear to me how the artist is selected, there is no indication as to where you chose Amy Wine house.
2. My personal preference is to have the text underneath the album covers, since many times you cannot tell what the name of the album is or who the artist is by looking at the cover.
3. Again, my personal preference, would be to not have the border around the cover of the album that makes it look like a CD jewel case. I think that looks a bit dated.
4. Since this view is a music view, does it make sense to have the "Viewing ends" piece at the top? Could it perhaps be replaced by the total album duration when an album is selected?
Once more, thank you so much for continuing to make this the best Kodi remote ever, and I can't wait to try all of these new views!
Regards,
Bart
1. There ware two ways of doing this.
a, Is that once you select any view like moves, tv or music the program has to auto select the first item in your library list and displays its info in the info bar at the top as there is nothing selected by the user and then you have to still select that item again to display more info like track lists in music or another album.
or what I could do.
b. I could design a poster an d wallpaper and a set info in the middle so that when you select that view on the ipad it has nothing selected at all in any view but has a default poster and fanart until a user selects a item form the library. I have to do this for the remote view anyway as once the remote opens up and nothing is been played it needs some sort of default artwork to display on first start-up.
2. There will be more than one for each library so that each user has at least a couple of views to select.
3. see point 2 I could do the same view but without the case as I am very very limited to what I can do in music view anyway as how the track list menu works. so there will be only 3 views. It was a right bitch to get them views right with text as I tried many ways to make it look right but not unusable. the text that does not fit would scroll automatically to read the full track list.
it was also requested by one user to have cd covers so trying to please everyone but there will be only three views
small cover with text
large covers no text with case
large covers no text with no case.
4. you do have the album duration in the top info bar of each album the "viewing ends" would be renamed to album ends but I could ask Richard (bless him I am given him some work to do here) to have both a album ends and album duration, so say it would display album ends for 5 sec and then fades out and then the album duration would fade in for 5 sec and could go back and fourth like that, what do you think of that idea ?
If you notice the track list view there are two littlie round dots abit how pages work on the iphone and ipad this is so you know there are more tracks and you would need to scroll form left to right to see the other tracks as 8 tracks can only be displayed at once for space reasons and text size.
I am also wanting to ask Richard if when selecting each album if he can somehow make each track list boarder box change colour to suit the album abit how iTunes does it. or should I leave it one colour for all albums ?
I can not wait to try the new views to but this is going to take time and a lot of work to get it into a working remote.
thanks for the kind words.
