Announce: Material Skin

[Apesbrain]

Is it possible with Material to display custom artwork for a radio station other than the one supplied by Tune-in?

hi, does anyone know if this is ( or would be ) possible to display an overlay on album cover showing files quality (mp3, cd, hi-res).
i did a little mock-up
thank you !!

No, sorry.

AFAICS, LMS does not provide the required info when listing albums - so, no.

Wow, glad I read this: the skin is super anyway, and now with the APK I can even use it on my Fire Stick 4K to control my player on TV screen!
Unfortunately the player controls seem not to function. When I select play/pause, return or next, nothing happens. Strang e (..?) enough, I like to add the stop button as well, and that one does work.

Can it be that this is a Fire Stick (4K) thingy and it does work on general Android TV? Can someone also using it on Firestick or Android TV maybe advice on this?

Regards

Ok, no-one seems to experience this like I do or simply do not use Fire Sticks for this...

Tried to debug the APK running on the firestick. Can navigate to the controls but in the developer console I do not see any signals coming in when pushing the play, stop etc. Guess I am doing it wrong.
The controls do work with the webapp running in silk browser, but then I am having trouble scrolling.

Guess the Fire Stick Android TV version works differently.
Will need to return to how the debugging works and maybe revisit some time late.

Maybe it needs to explicitly check for keycode 179 (play/pause toggle).

Looks like my Qobuz / MAI issue is fixed. What do you mean by More replace Genre with Categories? Have I missed Categories whatever you mean by that?

After upgrade to this version, the players queue disappear and cannot control any song! However, if run from http://lms address:9000 works!

Same here, now playing empty and the playlist too.

This is on iPad iOS 14.

Hi Craig,
Material has become so advanced it has virtually all the functionality of the default web UI now (and in many cases much more). So much so that I use it as go to interface for LMS music control from PC or mobile.

I also use for near enough all management/housekeeping tasks as well now, the only thing that it seems to struggle with (for me at least, unless I'm mossing something), is informing me of plugin updates. For this I have to return to the default web UI.

The green update icon appears on the material info tab, but this more often than not is referring to an LMS update and not a plugin update. Sometimes plugin updates seem to be missed. Is it possible to improve this area slightly, possibly colour coding the update badge to distinguish between LMS or plugin updates? (or perhaps have the option to supress the LMS update badge, as this appears quite often and I suspect most people don't want/need to update LMS that often). Just my thoughts.

Keep up the good work.

Same here with v2.3.2, but only for the first player in the list. Works for the other players.

In addition, when browsing e.g. in the new music list and trying to go back using the back arrow in the upper left corner, the search prompt is opened instead and you cannot go back.

Edit: it seems only those lists are affected that are pinned to the home screen.

Aarg!!! A late fix for d6jg's Qovoz MAI issue caused this! Will fix, sorry

I can see this too! Will fix.
