a) Fix confirmed
c) yep...
Lyrics:
CU LRC version 2.0.6. Add-on Does not offer to update....
Lyrics are not appearing when pressing microphone. At all I will re-test it once I will have correct addon.
Hidden buttons present and seem to work.
The scrollig of lyrics work with "up" and "down" keys. Up/down buttons bound to these key will solve trouble on windows touchscreens...
Some lyrics autoscroll, some dont, but hovering a mouse over them or touching the screen pauses them...
Live TV:
Looks nice. I realized that Gotham separated live TV and Live Radio into two groups of channels and are not mixed together as they were before... (At least I remember that Next/Previous was mixing the channels, but it may depend on PVR).
Movie info screen:
Last position of the movie is automatically bookmarked. Info screen offer:
Play button
Continue button
When I use Play button, XBMC will ask if i want to "start from the beginning" or "continue at...". These features seems bit duplicate when are almost on same screen.
Sources to be added:
Sources > any type > Add "any type"
There is no slider. I dont know if its only not visible or not present since there is not too many items in this dialog window ...
So Far:
a) Volume bar in video OSD
- reacts only on tapping. Useful with touchscreen (there is a way how to grab it), bit less with mouse.
Its a bug, but nothing important. Still can be used almost without limitation.
b) Some performance issues
- using a mouse may be exhausting on system resources when hovering over menu...
- Some graphical activities like opening menus...
To be solved when there is full version of Gotham and the skin as well.
c) Some buttons are visible but inactive
- Video OSD while bookmark menu opened
- Home screen when Player controls are active.
Not a bug, just may be confusing to users.
d) Sliders
Windows (7) touchscreens act differently as Android on action "grab and scroll". Adding them made the skin usable on Windows.
So generally I dont see any major bugs, and no obstacles to use this skin on Windows.
Feature requests which are archievable via Favourites (therefore I will not request them):
- Pictures in main menu
- Music albums in main menu
Tests performed on:
Windows 7
Atom N550
10 inch touchscreen
1024x600
On smaller screens can be complicated to:
- click on item in "browse" dialog boxes
- switch settings in Video/audio menus
Sometimes bigger window may compensate, sometimes not.
Feature requests:
(nothing to hurry with)
- more view types
- easier accesibility to enable subtitles, change subtitle language, change audio language (embedded ones, usually in DVDs - and configurable via DVD menu)
- localization
- qwerty keyboard
I am also going to perform few tests on android devices...
c) yep...
