Changed to vertical view and I see TV, music and cast images mixed in with the films.

Ive seen this a couple times now. During media playback, the OSD is coming up blank...

Here is the TV show information screen when I went to it through EHS:

And the exact same one but if I went to it through the Collections:

I think it should stay like the first one however it's accessed IMO...

When the user restarts the server via the blue arrow in MBT, a spinner is presented, once the spinner disappears focus is not returned to any on-screen element. Remote navigation is not possible.

The only workaround is to use the mouse to click somewhere returning focus to the UI.

Here the MBT log:

Here the server log at that time:

Keyboard keys presses like "backspace" doesn't work after opening and closing OSD (using *) while playback runs.

To reproduce:
-Start a movie
-Bring the OSD using *
-Close OSD still using * (let playback run)
***At this specific point, backspace doesn't work (doesn't bring you back to MBT menus during playback)
If playback is stopped, it goes back to menu normally.

I think MBT primary control devices will (should) be keyboard or remote (not mouse). So all of my testing are made using keyboard only.

When selecting the setting icon, the main sections stay "selected" (underlined) which can be confusing when try to continue navigation if user left it there and come back to it...

Settings icon is selected here:

It works when a tile is selected:

Mouse always stay visible on top of video.

When the detail page loads. Could be resume or play, or nothing at all.

This should only happen on page load, not when cycling through tabs.

When an item has been played, the media image will have both the new and watched overlays.

every episode has both overlays

season 3 has both overlays

This is due to the horizontal scrolling but we need to figure out how to make these behave as expected.

When in MBT vertical navigation, using only the arrow keys, user should be able to easily access the top options (sort, home, etc...) instead of having to go all the way back to top in movie posters.
I would suggest to jump there when going to the left or right when in vertical scrolling.
(that is if vertical scrolling stays an option)

This is a newly created movie trailer. I ran the "Create Video Chapter Thumbnails" scheduled task... But selecting the trailer still crashes MBT.

Good day,

As you see:

Also as knowing issue, this error always popup when you in that index or any other index, i just report it in case it need it:

Just throwing this in here since you seem to be building a to-do list.

Given the choice of having the video backdrop stop when the screensaver idle timeout happens or having the screensaver just wait until the video backdrop has finished looping, I'd prefer to see the latter happen.

A tab for each game system

The screen saver continues to run while a client selects an item to "Browse to". You can hear the MBT select sound clip, the item is properly browsed to... But you have to move the mouse to deactivate the screen saver.

When a client selects "Browse to", the MBT screen saver should stop while the item is browsed to.

After you press a remote button to exit the screensaver remote navigation doesn't work again until after you use the mouse to click the screen returning focus to an element.

MBT should have in the future, EHS options:
-Reorder sections ("Spotlight", "Recently added", "trailers", etc...)
-Disable/disable sections (same as above)
-Choose the number of items displaying in each section.

Again, to maximize MBT usage with remote control only, the arrow keys should let user change fields (ex; network settings), not TAB only...

The computer still turns off the screen if playing a movie for longer than windows is set for the screen to be on without interaction even in full screen mode.

As this:

http://community.mediabrowser.tv/permalinks/13235/mbt-index-by-performer-do-not-display-actors-images

If you go into a collection and then come back to the EHS, the main spotlight item will be showing a backdrop from one item but the description of another. It stays that way until the transition to the next item when it fixes itself up.

When using the keyboard arrows, in the EHS tiles, to go right, it changes to next tile as fast as I hit the key but going back to the left, it's not. It's like the scrolling needs to be done until it registers the next left key press...

When playback is commenced in non maximized window then re-sized to full screen mbt crashes.

This may seem like an feature request but I personally think it's important for HTPCs;
OSD need to work with MCE remote "info" button (not * only)

If using a Harmony remote, not a problem but a lot of users use MCE remotes and everything else works perfectly except the OSD... (and #18)

Still more info that needs to be added.

I know MBT is still WELL under development at this stage.

I have converted a couple DVDs to MKV, both of which display subtitles during the movie. The bad thing is, the narrative during "A Christmas Story" isn't didplayed... But that isn't the bug I'm posting.

Not sure if everyone elses MKVs do the same or not.

(Sorry, couldn't resist on the second image... Thats the best line IMO. LMAO)

While using the configuration wizard I have an issue moving to the next step in the wizard.

In the file MediaBrowser.Theater.Implementations\System\MediaFilters.cs, the methods IsLavFiltersInstalled and IsXyVsFilterInstalled both use Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFilesX86 as the only place that can contain the prerequisite.

If the prerequisites are installed in a different folder it keeps the user from moving to the next step in the wizard.

I put in a small workaround but I'm not sure if it's something you want me to commit.

So that themes don't call app.launch directly

Keeping window on top prevents config of LAV filters and xy-VSFilter as the install screens are under the main MBT screen.

Changing a view within a VF from the default poster view to coverart (for example) causes an error "There was an error processing your request" popup after closing the options tab. The view will not save. Although the view will continue to be coverflow for that session browsing the VF. But if you go back, and reenter the VF, the view will be changed back to default poster view.

The GUI time displays AM/PM is green... The OSD time display AM/PM is white.

Shows are showing all seasons in MBT even if only a few seasons are stored locally.

MBT primary control devices should be keyboard or remote (not mouse). So all of my testing are made using keyboard only.

Arrow keys should bring back control in any situation.
In this example, I simply clicked where the arrow is pointing:

After this point, without a mouse, there is no way to select anything with keyboard...

There are other scenarios besides clicking in blank spaces that reproduce this issue.
This would be an issue on a dedicated HTPC.

They need to go here:

Good day,

When I click on the actors tab, the MBT will crash:

Here the mbt log:

NullReferenceException in the LoadSpotLightViewModel methods of both MoviesViewModel and TvViewModel, lines 451 and 342. In both cases, it is while attempting to access [TvView/MovieView].BackdropItems.

Similarly, TvViewModel throws an ArgumentNullException on line 190 while attempting to access tvView.MiniSpotlights, which is also null.

Should the client be handling these more gracefully than throwing error dialogues at me constantly, or is this a server error (omitting the collections instead of returning an empty collection, I guess)? Or both?

More of a feature request I guess, but WMC could remember which monitor/tv it was last open on and so open fullscreen on my tv at the press of the green button. Would be good to have the same effect with MBT (option to map to green button would be amazing too).
