Help testing “Media Frame” – Now Playing app for music and movies

Hi again Spencer,

Thank you for adding Sonos support and the additional features recently. The smooth transition does indeed look professional!

The only challenge I have is this - after I finish playing music on Sonos, if I turn on the LG TV, the last album art comes back on the tablet screen along with the rather long Sonos device identifier eg. RINCON_74CA60D441EA01400.

I have found a workaround if I keep a shortcut to the web control app on my phone and go to Media Sources and turn off Sonos. It’s a bit clunky but it works :slight_smile:

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks again!

Hi Robert, let me check on this.

Could you clarify the steps that “cause” this issue a bit more, and also please send a crashlog via the app, found in Help & Support.

Hi Spencer,

Thanks for taking a look!

The steps are:

  1. So I’m playing a track on my Sonos system and the album art is displaying on Media Frame.
  2. I stop playing the track using the Sonos app, and Media Frame fades to black (as I don’t want the Media Frame screensaver turned on).
  3. Then after some time I turn the LG TV on (the TV is connected to my Sonos system).
  4. Then as soon as I play any app or station that starts playing music or dialogue (any sound) the Media Frame screen comes back on with the last shown album art (before it faded to black) along with the Sonos device identifier (as per the screeshot previously shared).
  5. If I then turn the TV off, the album art and the device identifier stay luminated on the tablet screen. No fade to black.

That’s about it. Just sent the Crashlog :slight_smile: Thanks again.

Hi @Spencer_Didriksen ,

Got the tablet update overnight :slightly_smiling_face:

No more old artwork and device info when I turn the TV on!

Thank you again. Very impressed with your dedication to your product and customers!

All the Best. Rob.

Ah finally!

Glad to hear that! :+1:t2:

Hi everyone, just a heads-up!

A new version has been submitted for review and will hopefully be available in a day or two.

The main updates are:

  • Animations and motion now sync better with each device’s refresh rate for even smoother visuals.

  • New album cover style: “CD Jewel case”

  • Three new full-screen animations:

    • “CD Player”

    • “CD & Jewel Case”

    • “Spinning CD”

All three include options to display the original CD artwork or a clean, spinning disc. If the original CD artwork isn’t available, the album cover can be used as a fallback.

Original CD artwork is fetched automatically and used by default when available.

As always, everything is customizable, and your settings can be saved as a custom theme to use later!

Here are some screenshots to enjoy while we wait for the update to be released! :slightly_smiling_face:

Damn that’s really cool

Is it going to be on both Android TV and normal Android devices.

I also need to retry the Eversolo settings with my T10, though mostly I have just used the Roon settings and that has worked really well. But given I have been using Roon, LMS, UPNP and HQPlayer recently, it might be worth making the Eversolo my default

Thanks!

I really tried to do the best I could with this, not being a 3D artistand such. And in the background there is a whole new function that tries to find the matching cd art and fit it properly, glad you like it!
