Beta - Server Side Client Settings

Channels DVR Server
#26

I would call the order of the sources as a setting, and it is also the most adjusted setting that I do since they don't ever match what's on the server.

I like that the source order is client dependent this way my 4K TV's can have the ATSC 3.0 tuner first and the server for recordings.

@maddox consider collapsing global settings or moving it to its own page.

If you add all of them, it becomes an infinite scroll.

Thanks.

Wouldn't you say that about the ENTIRE Settings section? :rofl:

Things will evolve.

I also would like this it keeps putting XFINITY and PLUTO above my Primes on the Clients. Even though on the Server I have them on the bottom.

#31

This would be an awesome way to apply themes or color settings to clients as well! :grin:

there is no end to the number of settings but a library section could also be useful. This would allow sectional sharing of library content based on client and on local or remote access.

On Android TV I noticed that setting the Playback > Streaming Quality > Internet Streaming option server-side will not prevent a client from changing the option in Settings. Although after changing the selection, backing out, and then going back to the client settings, it's reverted to the value set on the server.

The Playback > Streaming Quality > Home Streaming option is not able to be selected on the client when the setting has been specified on the server. I understand that to be the expected behavior.

Great find ... all settings should not be reset at the Client.

#36

Fixed in next beta. Good catch.

#37

Updated to latest Beta and Latest pre-release still can change them on Android Client.

Same here. Android setting is greyed out as if it is read only but I can still change it. Force quit the app and restarted it and it still behaved the same.

#41

Thank you for clarifying the broken behavior.

I'm uploading a new apk beta now with a fix.

Also FYI, with the latest server prerelease (v2021.03.13.0136), the settings have now moved to a new Clients tab.

#42

I really like the new layout ... everything appears to be working ... I had to remove all the previous settings re-added and then they worked.

@tmm1

I found 1 little problem General > Start Up > Start Up Section when selecting On Now it defaults to LiveTV.

#44

This was fixed previously, Try changing the setting and then setting it back. You probably set it previously when the value was wrong.

#45

All good!
