MrMC

With latest Testflight builds it seems I got "switching profile" troubles again. Just noticed it, because haven't used one of my other profiles for a couple of weeks or so.

Tested some builds and latest working Testflight is 3.7.0 build 180513.1646 (the one before the server selector on Home screen was introduced). All builds after, when switching profiles, causes MRMC to back out or crashes to Home Screen most of the time. Than, direct login into MRMC is only possible through Master Profile.

Master Profile: DVBLink PVR + movie content on local SMB shares
Profile 2: VOD provider 1 (strm content on local SMB share)
Profile 3: VOD provider 2 (strm content on local SMB share)
Profile 4: Emby service
Profile 5: TVMosaic PVR

Skin: Opacity
tvOS: 11.4 (15L577)

To bad I already updated to tvOS 11.4, because now I can't check if this problem was also present in tvOS 11.3 with latest Testflight builds.

Let me know what to test and possibly change in my setup, thanks !

The latest Testflight still has the same "In Progress" problems.

Feedback ATV 4K with tvOS 11.4 & networked to iMac - MacOS High Sierra:
MrMC:
- libsmb2 will not accept my previously working Username and Password for SMB connections no matter what I do.
- change back to libdsm and it all works properly.

Ariana Skin:
- much welcome Recording and Timers thx. @pecinko

- when using the timers and recording section - there is no way to see the date of recordings made or the date the timers have been set to record.

- recording and timer icons missing in EPG grid view.

- suggestion > push the Channel Logos in the EPG grid view further left to use more screen real estate for the horizontal EPG.

- when viewing TV and you pullup the top OSD, then enter the LiveTV > Guide section. There are time and program info text issues whereby they overlay each other.

Ariana Skin Suggestion:
- in the absence of a quick way to access the full blown EPG grid view when viewing TV, due to the ATV 4K's limited button remote.
- it might be far more useful to use the previously mentioned Live TV > Guide section to display the full screen EPG Grid as an overlay vs the current limited single TV channel upcoming program list.

It's nearly time for a full blown MRMC - Ariana - ATV 4K - Kodi Hardware sub forum review.
Really impressed with MRMC's progress

if you look in debuglog, are smb access referenced by IP or name ?

I just discovered a new problem... when you play a TV episode from the main screen, then back out of it, it switches the section from TV Shows to Movies.

Using the Opacity skin.

- I much prefer the original login profile prompt than the new one. Maybe that's because we don't set profile pictures, but the other way felt much cleaner and matched with the settings/other menus as well. Wife doesn't care.
- My wife and I prefer 'On Deck' over 'Continue watching' to be at the top. We usually don't care about Continue watching, and what's in continue watching is almost always in On Deck as well.

@Pecinko. You can't win sometimes i guess:-
I do have profile pictures and really like the new login page. its also much easier to understand which profile you are selecting
I prefer "Continue Watching" to be at the top and have no clue what triggers something to be "On Deck"

@amet, thanks for the "flatten hierarchy" fix. my only issue is that there's no "recently added" in this view

by the way guys, maybe add this as an extension https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Global_Search

No rush, I was just asking. Thanks!!

Ariana is making big leaps; thanks a lot. Few details regarding the layout:

- on the first page, the space occupied by the buttons seems too big, i.e. beside the header and the media buttons, only "Continue watching" posters and approx. 15% of "On Deck" are visible.
I suggest making the MrMC font smaller to the same hight as the "Settings" button and reducing the hight of the media buttons (more rectangular) while shifting them towards the top. Another way is to put the small "Setting" and source buttons below "MrMC" and shift the Media buttons to the top.

- on the second page, "Continue Watching" is too far to the top edge of the screen, showing 2 rows and a approx. 10% of Recently Added"; please readjust the whole page (a little down) to show just too rows (like the subsequent pages).
- third page and fourth pages are well aligned, showing two rows of posters.

- please append the media type to "Recently Added"; so "Recently Added Movies", "Recently Added TV Shows", etc.
- slightly rounded corners of the posters would make them look nicer(to my taste).

Thanks again for the great skin.

EDIT: please mind the "Bright" theme contrast issue (text, settings buttons); I would make the background less bright as well.
