How to request Testflight access: Send an email to [email protected] with the subject "I'll be back", include your email address tied to device, which flavor (tvOS, iOS or GooglePlay). Users that are already in testflight 3.0.6 are already in this series.

Released for tvOS.
Pending for Amazon/GooglePlay.
For GooglePlay Beta Testers only, https://play.google.com/apps/testing/tv.mrmc.mrmc
For Amazon. Note, if you opted-out of Amazon marketing communications, you will not get the notification email.

With this series, we have totally refactored tvOS Siri Remote handling to make it more resemble behavior under other tvOS apps. This also brings in customcontroller.SiriRemote.xml, so now users can alter the keymap behavior if desired.


Remember, for all issues, the 1st thing we will be asking for is debuglog.

just to be clear, we need feedback on Siri remote handling... and other things, but Siri remote handling please

I just checked testflight on my apple tv. no update. Am I in the testflight? If I understand correctly it has been released.

ahhh snap, forgot about needing beta review. It's waiting on that.

Finally passed beta review and is out for tvOS.

/me turns another cheek for Siri changes... or should it be you @davilla?

I've had a go with the new siri remote stuff. I have the tvOS touch surface tracking at medium speed.

I'd never wished for the scrolling emulation and right now I wish I could shut it off like I could before.

It works much better than before but instead of a scroll happening as I scroll, it's delayed. Even taps on edges seem delayed compared to before. The edge tapping also seems to be more strict. I have to tap it just right for it to register.

I'd love to hear from others who've used Kodi and say the scrolling in that app works wonderfully....to see how this compares.

touchpad is -1, 1 in bounds. there is a -0.4, 0.4 rect in center that acts as an exclusion bounds. taps there are ignored. we could tighten that up a bit.

scrolling (ie. panning) has -0.75, 0.75 rect around initial tap point, if tap point moves (finger down, moving), it has to go outside that bounding rect before it registers as moving the focus point. This is trying to emulate how it works outside of MrMC in other Apps. Again, we could try to tighten this up. We could also add a settings back to turn off panning.

As for 'delays', we go through the same '- (void)sendButtonPressed:(int)buttonId' that kodi does.

I've never used Kodi on ATV4 so I wouldn't know.

My thought is that taps on edges need to register as taps a little easier. When you say tighten up that makes it sound like you'd make taps even more difficult. Have those parameters changed from the previous build?
