I was playing around with backdrops for a show and found one that I liked better than the default. However, it has a logo on it already and then the show logo got added as well.
I would hope there’s an option to remove the logo? Maybe in the manage logos page there can be one that just says “none” or something like that which tells Channels to remove any logo for the show?
Just delete the logo image. You can do that from the web admin, that option is not available in the client.
But when there’s no logo, the title of the show is shown.
Since, i believe, app version beta 8.2.503, when i trash the last video in my video group, in my Personal Section, the app crashes to the Apple TV home screen.
I updated to app version 8.2.2016 and still experience the same issue.
I submitted diags from the app after i deleted the video, the app crashed, and i re-opened the app.
Here is a pic of how i have that section in Personal section setup, if that helps.
(it also does it on my dedicated Personal Section tab that only has this video group.)
Great, thanks, we'll look into it soon.
This has been resolved in the latest TestFlight beta:
The latest TestFlight beta adds new re-designed modals for episodes from your library that utilize the new richer art:
Nice! Looking slick!
Would also like to see this new UI look for normal DVR program episode/recordings too, not just local library files.
One annoyance for me, though is in my custom video groups that just have random video files I watch them delete, it’s showing the image that I set for the group, not the thumbnail the actual video when I click to show the preview of the video.
Is there any way to set that so that when I open the Video episode file preview, it shows the video thumbnail?
Video thumbnails are coming.
The eposode tags are smooshed a little bit
Others look fine though. Maybe when there are more than a certain amount of them?
Thanks, could you give me what the full list of tags is on that episode?
The latest TestFlight beta handles tags a bit better to ensure they don't over flow. The build following up behind it does even more.
The latest TestFlight beta has support for launching and playing things from the Channels API and Siri Shortcuts with the new views and navigation.
Please try all your tricks to see you run into anything. If you do, please report the issues here along with a way to reproduce it.
Thanks!!
Noticing that Movie synopses are truncated in tvOS but are full text in iOS for the same movie title.
Is that intentional? Is there a way to expand tvOS text?
Thanks!
I hope this hasn't been asked or noted and I missed it, but I am wondering what is the size used for the backdrops?
Maybe I found a bug? So, in the web app, I have a show (Agatha All Along) that doesn't have a backdrop automatically, it's just blank. When I click the edit button none of the images provided to choose come from TMDB, so I decided to upload my own image that I had downloaded. The problem is that when I do that, it doesn't apply the image to the backdrop, it adds it as the main show image instead.
I hope that makes sense. What is odd is that this isn't the case for other shows (at least ones that already have a backdrop already. Updating those works just fine)
EDIT UPDATE: I actually realized the issue was that the wrong metadata was being pulled in somehow. I applied fix match and re-pulled in the show and it's now fine.
Yeah this is a bug. We’ll check it out.
Fixed in the latest PreRelease server:
Hey,
Not entirely sure if it’s related to the latest beta or simply because my library has grown, but when I click on a movie, the backdrop appears instantly on the detail page, while the poster and logo take a moment to load afterward. It’s not a major issue, but it does look a bit rough. I’m fairly certain it didn’t behave like this before.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Cheers, Luy.
Yes, the new views load dependent on loading of the images. If it didn't do what it does, it would look awful every time.
The good news is, we've implemented new robust caching both on the server and on the client. So now any images loaded from the internet (almost all of them), go through your server and are cached there, so they can load faster later. Additionally, we've implemented a disk cache on the client so images are almost instantly when they're requested again.
So while you may see some initial speed difference (depending on your internet speeds), as you use the app things will start to pop up much faster.
