Announce: Material Skin

[slartibartfast]

My keyboard does not pop up either so I don't think I can do that.

Anyway. I've added it as an issue at Github now so if Craig is inclined to correct it I am sure he will.

So if your keyboard doesn't pop up you can't search for anything. That doesn't seem right.

Question....

Would it be possible to have a quick control button, perhaps near the A-Z "Sort by", which could toggle On / Off the display of integrated media?

I love the Spotty library integration, but am now finding it difficult to find my own local media rips, as my saved Spotty songs / albums in the past few years have now far exceed purchases during the same time period. So a quick Show/Hide would be great.

You can probably do this yourself, using Advanced Search to search by path, and create a library view for Local Only files and another for Online Only files.

LMS Material not showing battery voltage on Information tab

I have two players (SqueezeAMP and ESP Muse Luxe) that report its battery voltage to LMS. The default LMS skin shows the battery voltage on the Information tab, but LMS Material does not.

For example, default LMS UI shows following Player Information for my ESP Muse player:

ESP Muse
Player Model: SqueezeESP32
Player Type: squeezeesp32
Firmware: v1.0-1012-16
Player IP Address: 192.168.0.106
Player MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Wireless Signal Strength: 76%
Voltage: 4.03

In LMS Material the last line is missing. Would it be possible to also show the Voltage in Material?

I have no such players, but have updated Material to attempt to add this - but cannot confirm. Will be in next release.

Thanks! I will check if the voltage is shown after next release is available.

Continuous logging from material skin

I run a script that's a "listener" for LMS events, using the "listen 1" CLI command. (I have some home automation things that happen in response to some LMS events.)

"Lately" (and I'm not sure how long that is), I've been getting repetitive messages from material-skin:

$ telnet slimserver 9090

Those messages come out every 2 seconds.

They're not a huge problem, but they sure clutter my logs. Any way to stop them?

"Lately" (and I'm not sure how long that is), I've been getting repetitive messages from material-skin:

These are when Material's 'Information' dialog is open, it polls to see if there are any plugin updates.

Ha! I guess that tells me how "Lately". Like, since I opened the dialog.

Thanks. False alarm, clearly.

Qobuz Search - Grid view issue

Using LMS 8.3 / Material master.

Browse view: when Grid view is enabled and the Qobuz search field is used, after hitting "OK" the Browse display remains unchanged and the following error is posted:

browse-functions.js?r=GIT-da4d2e148:488 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: view.search is not a function

If Grid view is not enabled, everything works perfectly. I note also that this Grid issue does not occur with the Spotty plugin, I only see it with Qobuz. I don't know when this issue with displaying Qobuz search results began; I stumbled into it today when searching for "Neil Young!"

Caused by changes to fix missing context menu. Should be fixed in master now.

Yes, I've seen the github issue (thanks, BTW) - and will try to fix.

Thanks very much indeed Craig!

To the others...

My keyboard does pop up, just no so readily for Material Skin. I have a very *hit Xiaomi A2 phone that seems to have quickly developed memory issues since it's Android One program ended. It's most likely due to that. In fact the keyboard will pop up, but it's delayed and only works if I very quickly tap the field.

Now you mention it I am pretty sure I have seen occasions where my keyboard on a Pixel 3a doesn't always appear when I expect it to. Rare but it does happen.

Having had enough of cheap phones I hope to upgrade to a Pixel 6 when I can't abide the Xiaomi any longer. Just stretching it out in the hope that used prices decrease soon.

Hmm actually I have also seen that behaviour with my old Xperia phone at least few times. Didn't think it was specifically in material skin but maybe it was
