Thanks! All is well now

. That's true, just the lazy bum in me that would love to have the icon visable all the time

Really isn't a biggy, just nice when Im running through multiple episodes of tv shows and want to fastforward through intros.
Thanks again mate!

Good catch; this is definitely a bug. I've fixed the issue and will push a new version in the next day or so. Cheers!

Hi. I guess this is the un/official suppoert page for eos?
I got a nasty crash when I tried to log into jriver server for the first time. I forgot to enter authentication credentials and got a java crash message I couldn't get out of until I cleared the JR access key and tried again. It's working now. Thought I'd let you know.

Thanks for the heads up! Unfortunately I wasn't able to duplicate this crash on my own device, and I didn't see any reports in my Google Play console.

When the Java crash occurred, were you presented with the option to Report the crash? If so, could you try to duplicate it again and send in a report? (Don't worry about typing any messages; these reports are useful because they usually tell me exactly where in the code the crash occurred.)

What device are you using, and what OS version is it running? What version of eos do you have installed? (The version is shown on the About page, which is available from Settings.)

When playing to Chromecast, the player link doesn't show up in the pull down shade on my phone.

Also, is Chromecast considered it's own zone? I started a playlist on my device and wanted to continue playing on my TV but turning on Chromecast changed the playlist.

Not sure what you're referring to when you say "the player link doesn't show up in the pull down shade". Do you mean the notification that appears when doing device playback? If so, that's by design - the notification only appears when controlling device playback.

Yes, the Chromecast is considered its own zone. Since only one zone can be active at a time, switching to the Chromecast zone will stop device playback.

No, eos doesn't perform any caching. The only buffer is the one that the MediaPlayer has while streaming the current track.

Both of these buttons already exist. The Home button is in the top left corner, and Playing Now is in the top right. (On my Xperia Z2 (phone) there is enough room in the action bar to display 2 items: Display Mode and Playing Now. If your device has a smaller resolution you may have to look in the action overflow [3 vertical dots] for the Playing Now button.)

Yes, I'm referring to the notification shade control that appears when doing device playback. Since I'm controlling the Chromecast from my phone, I'd like to request the notification remain active when doing so.

Can you implement a cache? I know Gizmo does this and it's very helpful.

Thanks!

What do I need to do to get eos to play an album in track order? It seems that would be the default but I am getting some random/shuffled playback order. It is disconcerting on albums I am very familiar with. I select the first track to play or any track and I want eos to select subsequent tracks in ascending order until all the tracks in the album are played. This is the way Gizmo works by default.

Playing in track order is the default behavior. I just tried to play some albums - including multi-disc albums - but I was unable to reproduce the behavior you're seeing.

Can you give me a little more information: Are you trying to play to a remote zone or to your device? Can you tell me step-by-step how you're starting playback?

The notification only appears when media is playing to the device, not when eos is controlling remote playback. The reason media apps use notifications is to ensure they don't get terminated when they're in the background, so that they can continue to play media. Even though eos is controlling them, both JRiver and the Chromecast take care of rendering their own media, so eos doesn't need to show a notification/stay alive.

A cache has previously been requested but as I mentioned then it isn't high on my list of priorities. eos is designed to be a remote for JRiver, and I'm focusing on that functionality.

I am playing to player which an HTPC. I select artist (Pink Floyd). Then Album (Dark Side of the Moon. I am presented with a track list in correct order and select Speak to Me (Breathe in the Air).

It sounds like you have Shuffle enabled on MC. When controlling remote zones (i.e. - not playing to Device or Chromecast), eos sends a command that tells MC to play the list of tracks to which you've currently browsed. If they're appearing correctly on eos but they aren't playing in the right order when you try to start playback - and you aren't explicitly pressing Play (Shuffled) in eos - then Shuffle must be enabled at the MC level.

You can't change this from eos; you'll have to toggle Shuffle from MC.

You are correct. Somehow Shuffle was enabled on that Media Center instance. Weird, as I never use shuffle and I was using Gizmo before eos to control that PC and never experienced this before. Much Thanks!

I have noticed a rounding error in the Volume adjustment. If you have setup say 1db steps, somehow you can end up with fractional volume levels, eg: -13.9 instead of -14.

eos (and any other remote, I should think) don't work in terms of dB. The MCWS Volume service allows a remote to set the volume using a decimal value from 0 to 1 (i.e. - a percentage), and it's up to MC to translate this percentage to the actual volume level.

I have posted this same question for gizmo and jremote and thought I'd ask here as well.

I was wondering if there will be an option to set the user in eos like you can in MC and on a "full" MC pc client? If I set the server to the user I have set for kids so they can only access "approved" content on their tablet that causes me and anyone else to only see that same restricted content. Where as on a full MC pc client it can be set independent of the server setting and doesn't affect other clients.

I have one license so far for eos as well as jremote and whichever remote adds this feature I will be purchasing 3 licenses for.

Unfortunately, what you're looking for isn't possible right now. MCWS - the web services provided by MC that all remote applications use - are not user-aware. There's no way to specify the user that's currently using a remote application, or even a way to retrieve a list of users configured in MC.

Until this is supported by MCWS, no remote will be able to provide you with the functionality you're looking for.

Hi my first post here

First thank you for eos. A great app that I have missed. I have "suffered" by Gizmo which is lacking functionality which is important for me but not found anything better out there. But now I have found eos which is almost perfect. I had the impression that eos was a "remote control" application and not a streaming device for JRiver. I believe you can stress this great functionality even more in your advertising.

To the point.

I use eos for its video streaming functionality. I have 500+ movies sorted in different genres. Is there a possibility in eos to filter films in a specific genre when selecting a film? As it is now you get all movies in one list when you click on movies. It would be great to have a genre selection in the same way as in the Audio section.

Finally another thought. When I view streamed video it always leaves transcoded folders and files on the server. These takes a considerable place. Would it be possible to set a configuration flag in eos that these should automatically shall removed after viewing?

Thanks // L

Not quite sure what you are saying? If I send Playback/Volume?Level=0.02&Relative=1, it increases by exactly 1db.

Hendrik · « **Reply #424 on:** April 07, 2015, 05:11:23 am »

Indeed, MCs percentages map to dB, and any remote control would probably behave the same way, as they just control MC like that.

I believe what your looking for is located from within jriver, open jriver SERVER then click on (top of jriver in standard view) tools/options/media network/advanced/customize views for Gizmo(EOS) & WebGizmo/ then scroll down to Video, and start building your views as you see fit.

Edit... JRiver SERVER must be force killed, then clients reconnected before you will see changes.

The Relative query string parameter is only relevant when you use the volume buttons to control the volume. In fact, what you've quoted is exactly the command that eos would send if you pressed the hardware volume up key on the Playing Now page with the volume increment set to 2%. If you drag the volume slider on the Zones page, though, you aren't requesting a Relative volume change: that's an absolute volume change, so it would the request would look something like Playback/Volume?Level=0.75.

The conversion cache for transcoding is also managed by MC; remotes don't have any control over this. I know the location of the cache is configurable in MC's options, but I don't know if you can change the max size of this cache.

Only one major issue left and that one has probably nothing to do with EOS. My subtitles from .srt files are only in sync when a movie is started from the beginning.

I won't be adding a persistent notification for non-device playback; that's not what notifications are designed to do. I would recommend using the Widgets. eos has a homescreen Widget, and if your device is pre-Lollipop you can also use the lockscreen widget.

#2 already exists. On the Playing Now and Theater Remote pages, you'll find the "Toggle Audio Stream/Subtitles" action item in the action overflow (3 vertical dots).

As for #1, I learned something new today: subnet directed broadcasts make it possible to WOL over the internet. However, it seems that SDBs require knowing the subnet mask of the network where you want to send the broadcast, which is information that I can't see a way of getting when you aren't on that network. I'm not sure how JRemote/Gizmo overcome this limitation.

Hey everyone,

v.4.7.3 of eos has just been pushed to Production! The Google Play release notes:

Quote

New in v4.7.3:
Filter field now hidden behind action item
New header displayed when viewing list of files
Toolbar no longer shows icons, and the navigation drawer shows the app icon
Access Key servers will update and use server's Friendly Name
Updated File Info view
Play All & Shuffle All actions visible when viewing list of files
Fix crash that would occur if disconnected while Chromecasting

Removing the icons from the toolbar reduces the cluttered look, and on some devices also allows for an extra action item to be displayed. File Info has been updated to show two tabs: an Overview tab, which shows some relevant info, and the Edit tab.

Cheers!

One question and a few concerns…

Question: In the ‘File Info’ view I get different album image sizes (some large, some small). Where are you pulling this image from? Is there anything I can do to standardize the size?

Concerning the menu item ‘Audio Podcast’… in this view my folders aren’t displayed, so I get a view of 1082 individual tracks sorted by date. Was this always the case? I’m old an’ can’t remember…

Also… using the device back button from this view minimizes the app and returns me to the desktop (happens in other views as well). Shouldn’t it take me back to the default ‘Audio Artist’ view? Then when I try to restore eos I have to repeat the process because the first attempt again returns me to the desktop. I don’t see this (restore) behavior on the other apps I have installed.

I’m running eos 4.7.5 on Android Ver. 5.1 on a Nexus 7 tablet…

The album art on File Info is rendered in the art's actual size - unless it's too big to be displayed in full, then it's scaled down. I did this so that it was easier for me to tell what size the cover art is inside my library; I'd know if I needed to look for a higher resolution image for an album.

It would have always been this way, unless you've changed your configuration recently. You can modify the structure of eos' (and any other remote's) views by going into MC's Options, clicking Media Network, Advanced, then "Customize views for Gizmo & WebGizmo..."

Also… using the device back button from this view minimizes the app and returns me to the desktop (happens in other views as well). Shouldn’t it take me back to the default ‘Audio Artist’ view? Then when I try to restore eos I have to repeat the process because the first attempt again returns me to the desktop. I don’t see this (restore) behavior on the other apps I have installed.

This is expected behavior. In the apps navigation hierarchy, switching between the various views in the menu is a lateral move, where tapping on (i.e. - drilling into) an item descends a level. You can use the back button to go "Up" a level in the hierarchy to the item's parent, but it won't unwind lateral moves. (The exceptions to this are the app-specific screens that appear under the divider, like Playing Now and Zones. These open up new screens in the app.) As a general rule, if you can see the "hamburger" menu item in the top left instead of "home", hitting back will leave the app.

I’ll have to look at that ‘Media Network’ thingamajig and see what I can figure out.

Thanks for your time… an’ thanks for the app.

I am seeing the fractional volume level when setting with the hardware volume buttons on a Nexus 7. I have the settings at 1db increments, and it sometimes steps from -14db to -13.1 or -12.9db, etc (but not every time).

Still seeing the same issue with the current version. The more you adjust the volume up and down, the further away from whole number db levels it drifts. The Volume increment settings are set to 2%.

edit: It is running on a Nexus 10 tablet.

The album art on File Info is rendered in the art's actual size - unless it's too big to be displayed in full, then it's scaled down. I did this so that it was easier for me to tell what size the cover art is inside my library; I'd know if I needed to look for a higher resolution image for an album.

Would you mind telling me the sizes you're using to make that determination? Mine typically top out at 900 pixels. Though many would be below that figure.

By "too big", I meant that your device's display isn't big enough to fit the entire image. So if your display is 1080p (1920x1080) and you have cover art that's 1200x1200, the image will be scaled down to 1080x1080 to fit on the screen.

As already mentioned, no remote has dB level control over the volume. MCWS only allows the volume to be set by percentage, which is then translated to a dB level by MC.

I will confirm by trying Gizmo on the same tablet.

In portrait mode the album art fits nicely on the screen. It appears (and I’m just guessing here) that the image scales to the screen width. I use your creation in landscape mode and here it appears to me to be somewhat unwieldy, requires unnecessary scrolling and loses some of its visual appeal. Would it be possible to scale the image to the screen height in landscape mode? That way the user is presented with a full image of the album art and not just a portion of it.

Oh, and thanks for pointing me to the view customization menu. I didn’t realize that would also affect eos.
