Testing MrMC 3.7.0 - [Invites Closed]

[RewNex]

Got it, had to bypass the switch.

What do you mean by "bypassing the switch"?

Please, those testflights are meant to be tested, so that we get meaningful reports back, so that we are able to fix bugs, not to do previews

It was a network issue, I have my bridge connected to a network switch and had the "no bridge found" only when connected directly to the router Mrmc was able to see the bridge.
Strangely I havn't had issue with the bridge being connected to the switch before.

I briefly tested the integration with HUE lamps configuring one of my lamp to dim and another one as "ambilight" and both worked flawlessly. It was in full sun so I cannot say a lot about how the ambilight functionality work.
In my case the bridge is connected directly to the router while the Apple TV in my living room communicates with the HUE bridge by means a switch: the pairing works flawlessly as any other HUE product. Great work!

Now, I have to buy some hue lightstrips to be used behind my TV. The discussion that I will have with my wife will be on your shoulder.

I'll eventually have to see if the wife is willing to switch to Ariana but even if we don't use it I'm really grateful for your time and effort and all the MrMC team!

Thanks! I am very interested in feedback from your wife, regardless if she chooses to switch or not - if that is not too much to ask, of course. Just tell her there's some guy that would be grateful for her taking a few minutes to give some comments. I *really* doubt she will be more critical than my wife

pecinko, do you think that there is a way (for a binge watcher as me and my wife) to play automatically more than an episode from the home view (using plex OnDeck). Now, I can select "play" but there is not an option to "play automatically from here" as if I go into the list of episodes. I don't know if it depends from the skin or it is something to be managed at MrMC core level.

Thanks for feedback. I am not sure if and how it is supposed to work but I’ll take a look.

Hi Guys. Finally I find some time to deal with the current version of TestFlight. And of course a few flaws were discovered by me here and there
To the problems: on the Plex extension, I can play movies wonderful. About the (old) integrated Plex function unfortunately no more. Although I can select the server and this is displayed to me but as soon as I want to play a movie, nothing happens.
Next, all of Plex's folders (Movies, Movies 3D, Kids Movies, etc.) will be displayed on the homescreen. I found that better solved before (movies, TV series, etc.). In addition, it can no longer be disabled / hidden via the settings.
The information relates to the Opacity Skin.

Isn’t there a option in the MrMC settings to play next video automatically?

In any case, be sure to use "Entertainment" compatible lights (https://www2.meethue.com/en-us/support/entertainment).
This uses a new, low-latency, protocol that improves the experience tremendously.

Add you lights to an "entertainment" group via the app, then specify this group in the settings.

This is an MrMC exclusive

Yes, it is but I'm thinking that, as for the description, it works for elements into a list and an element into OnDeck should not be a list. So when an episode ends, MrMC comes back to the homeview since there are not other elements into the list to play. I know that is not a critical problem but it could fit very well with my usual habits
Anyway, thank you pecinko to take a look to it.

Wow. I was not aware of this possibility. I have to study thoroughly this part.... After a few minutes of reading, I have another question (I hope the last one): in support guide, Philips site talks about the relative location of each light "to optimize" the experience. In my understanding if I configure an enterntainment group where two supported light sources are placed on respectively on the right and on the left of my tv will be the colour different depending from right/left part of the current scene? Or have I misunderstood the purpose of this function?
