Testing MrMC 3.8.1 for Google Play

[semperfixd]

try skin.ariana

One problem with the theme is that the number of episodes are off-center like this:

fixed for next beta/testflight

When is the next beta coming out?
Secondly @davilla any plans to add thumbnails when scrubbing through videos (like in Infuse)?

please include the version on postings, it's rather hard to keep track of who has what.

@semperfixd, I have some thoughts on scrubbing for droid boxes. It might have to wait until the next cycle.

Cool. Thanks for the amazing work?

PS when is the next beta expected to hit play store? (the episode numbers being off-center are killing me xd)

72 hours, 22 mins and 13 seconds. Seriously, we don't give ETAs on releases as there is too much variability with the various stores. But, we are wrapping up 3.8 testflights and trying to move to release.

Because we strive to go above expectations, beta has just been updated

with what changes?

OK, got the update and see that AMC decoding of mpeg2 is there.

I am seeing 2 problems.

1) playback with AMC surface of 1080i recordings results in pixelation as if the signal was bad. But, playback with ff or AMC (non surface) shows that it's perfect. AND, playback of 1080i live TV with surface has no problem that I can see.

2) I tested surface playback of SD mpeg 2 content (DVD rips) and something went wrong because ff was used instead. I made sure to set surface to playback SD content.

Please provide a sample. It would be surprising to be an actual MrMC issue if it works in som cases

Which kind of rip? We always use s/w for DVD's due to finickiness of h/w decoders with those (see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/15405 )

PS: Now, indeed, I could force h/w decoding of DVD via the settings, as it appear to work on Shield...

Updated OP with android changes

MrMC was updated to 3.8.0. Everything worked on the first launch. Once i QUIT the app and started it again, it got stuck on a black screen. Clearing cache didn't do anything. Unable to open the app now.

Once i press menu key to go back to Main menu, it shows in the notifications that "MrMC by unknown is running: Splash screen". Stopping it and starting the app again doesn't work.

Also noteworthy, I run the shield at 1080p at 60hz on a 4K HDR TV with Colorimetry on. When I get stuck on the black screen and press the menu button, the screen flickers as if changing the resolution/ refresh rate even though I have the shield and MrMC both at 1080p60hz.

Shield(latest updates)

Edit: Colorimetry seems to be the factor causing this. Disabling it fixes the issue entirely but it's needed by apps to switch to HDR automatically so i can't keep it disabled permanently. Also, 3.7.1 worked fine with colorimetry on.

debuglog , please, for the colorimetry issue
