Hi:
I was using JF 10.10.7 on my Linux Mint server and decided to give the last release candidate (RC8 ) a shot, mainly to see if the local intros plugins was fixed for my case (I created a thread about it some weeks ago, but didn't receive any replies), and also because my main client is a LG Smart TV and I understand there were a couple of commits made after 10.10.7 with the purpose of fixing playback issues (using hls.js and short segments). I upgraded using the .deb packages and migration was completed without issues. So far movies play as expected and haven't encountered any issues, besides these four:
- Well, local intros still not works for me, it hasn't since 10.8.13 (if I go back to that version with the exact same setup, it works). It still freezes after the pre roll video ends, and the movie doesn't start if you don't press the next video button (which defeats the purpose of the plugin). I attached logs on my previous thread, but no answer so far, and I really don't know why it doesn't work for me or what else should I do to troubleshoot it.
- In my collections, previously the movies where sorted by release date (which was ideal for me). Now they are in random order. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Maybe there's an option somewhere to select how to sort the movies, but haven't found it. I attached a screenshot, the movies are no longer ordered by release date as before.
- Similar as the previous issue. I use a music library with the "artists" set as the default landing page. Apparently they are sorted alphabetically, but the "sort title" metadata doesn't work anymore. I have a couple of artists that I always want to keep at the top of the list, and previously I did that writing something like 1, 2 , 3, etc in "sort titles" for the artists I wanted to keep at the top. Apparently, sort titles field doesn't have any effect now, the artists are still sorted alphabetically, including those ones.
- I don't know if this has to do with the new database or not, but when I add an image for a library (movies for example), sometimes it takes a reboot or wait some minutes for it to be applied and shown in the interface. Not a problem, but when it comes to the Live TV channels I added (using MP3 tuner), no matter what I do, the image is never displayed. But if you enter a channel, you can see that the image was in fact loaded and displays correctly (so it's not a permission issue, which I checked anyway). Disabling my custom css doesn't solve this either. Not a deal breaking issue, but not ideal either. Is this a known bug? Am I doing something wrong? With 10.10.7 and previous versions, as soon as I loaded an image it was displayed in the interface. I attached a couple of screenshot so you can see that the images are indeed loaded, but for some reason they are not showing when looking at the channels section, only when you select a channel.
Hope to get some help with these issues. Thanks in advance!
