Announce: Material Skin

I can no longer swipe the 3 screens in Material on Android phone, has this option been removed?

Yes, it has been removed. The code was buggy. There was some code to deactivate the swipe when a dialog was opened, but sometimes this would get 'stuck' and swipes would stop working. I checked other material apps on my phone (Messages, dialler, etc) and they do not support switching views via swipe. So, for consistency it made sense to remove this.

OK, thanks, no worries.

Hello,
I'm a little unclear about something. Is there a native Android app version of this? I know that I can use this skin in a browser, and that the browser will select the mobile implementation of the skin. But every once in a while I see a post that suggests that there is a native app. For example,, in this recent discussion about the removal of the ability to swipe to switch views via swipe seems to indicate that. I've searched the Play store and can't find anything relevant, and the github site makes no reference to one.

Thanks,
~dbinfl~

There is no app just the skin.

No, this is a "webapp" served by LMS - no need to install anything. You can "install" a shortcut to your homescreen using chrome's "Add to Home Screen" menu option. Then you can start it like a regular app.

The discussion about swipe removal only mentioned native apps in reference to this skin being consistent with them.

Or in the Firefox menu: Page > Add Page Shortcut.

Loving this skin in Squeezelite-X, and on Android I've mostly switched to it from Squeezer at this point as it provides far more information. On my Androids there are times when the page reloads slowly after I've been browsing elsewhere in another tab, especially on my oldest tablet, but then I can switch back to Squeezer for a quick look or immediate control.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

Is the default LMS skin ok?

Check your server.log and the browser's console.

I saw the same issue - on Windows through SLX as well as on my iPhone.
The vanishing seemed to coincide with when I starred some (in my case 3 from 5 available) Apps to be shown in the main menue.
(Not directly, but shortly after starring and revisiting that pane)

I am meanwhile back to version 0.2.0 (because of the above and artworkissue), so I have unfortunatley no log info at the moment

If logs are needed, I can go back to 0.2.1 - But the vanishing is rather annoying....

Edit: I hope I talk about the same issue: I saw this with the mobile skin - which I use both on the desktop as well as the iphone

Yes, same here, that's why I asked if the default skin was ok. Both Material and default left-hand pane was blank, also the LMS settings page completely blank, no tabs, nothing, out of the blue.

An uninstall and re-install of LMS (keeping the cache) fixed it for me.

Sorry - forgot to mention: Default skin remained ok. I think I could clear the error by clearing all browser caches and restarting my server, but after adding those starred entries the left paned went missing again....
Thats when I returned to the older version.

Clearing the browser cache and history and works!
However, after awhile the problem is back again!

When the error occurs again, please

1. Open your browser's developer tools.
2. Open the console tab - errors causing the view not to be drawn should be logged here
3. Open the storage tab and expand local storage on the left.
4. Click the LMS url that appears.
5. On the right should now be listed materials settings that are stored
6. Paste the contents of "lms-material:inned" here. This is the setting that contains the details of pinned apps.

The above is for firefox - don't currently have chrome installed here, but you should be able to locate 'locate storage' in a similar vein.

I can only assume that a pinned app is causing the storage to be corrupt. But as it does not happen here, kinda hard to determine the issue. Perhaps an encoding issue? However, there were no changes between 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 that should have affected this.
