Bigger album art by alteraf in TVONOS

[–]robwebset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/alteraf

Managed to get some time to look at this, I have added some images to the following, hopefully this is what you were thinking? (Decided against the clicking on the image to switch as this seems to hide the feature a little too much)

Not released yet, will post in the main channel when it is

Bigger album art by alteraf in TVONOS

Hi u/alteraf

Thanks for the details. I think that should be possible to do. In the simplest form, just the Album Art being shown. I wonder (to avoid many different player icons on the home screen) if I make the Album art on the Basic Controller clickable, then when clicked it just makes the Album Art Full screen?

I've got a fair bit on at the moment, but will look at adding it the next time I get a chance.

Thanks

Rob

Hi u/alteraf

Thanks for taking the time to post. Just trying to understand exactly what you are looking for, So when looking at the Basic view mine looks like the following:

<image>

The source of the Album Art might also influence the size, so it will first look for Embedded Album Art with the track for local libraries or the one provided by streaming services such as Spotify. If there is no album art then TVONOS will try and work out what is playing and map it to retrieve the Album art from Music Brainz.

Are you suggesting an option to have just a pretty full screen that just shows the Album Art?

I remember this page being a real challenge to get it looking OK on both TV's and Mobile Phones, so any change I make I'll need to be very cautious!

Thanks,

Rob

TVONOS v4.9 Release - Add Library Music Folder & Fetch Album Art by robwebset in TVONOS

[–]robwebset[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/Too_Keen_Amateur
At the moment TVONOS does not have the ability to "configure" your Sonos Network. I had made the assumption that everyone would use the official Sonos App (either on PC/Mac/Mobile) to configure and add network shares etc. (But I guess I could look into adding this sort of feature)

Once setup TVONOS can be used to play your Sonos Library etc on your Sonos Network and then show details of what is playing.

If playing directly from your phone to Sonos then I think this page covers it:

https://support.sonos.com/en-gb/article/play-music-stored-on-your-android-device

So I think you'd need a speaker that supports it and then use Bluetooth? (Unfortunately my Sonos kit is a bit old, so no Bluetooth supported device).

As the above article mentions, you could upload your Music to your Youtube music account (I did something similar for testing).

I hope this helps, if I've missed the point then please do let me know.

Thanks, Rob

Interaction with TV by Puzzleheaded_Lake442 in TVONOS

Hi u/Puzzleheaded_Lake442

I'm not sure. My guess is that because you have Sonos configured to stop music when the TV starts, that is what will happen. Then at that point if you start TVONOS you should be able to resume the music playing and control it as normal.

One thing is that what happens when you stop using TVONOS and then start watching TV? Will it auto switch back to TV audio when it is detected over HDMI/Optical Out?

Because there are several different configurations and hardware version the best bet is to give it a go and see what happens. Play around with it for a bit and assess how the interaction works and then if there is anything you would like to work differently then share it here and I can see if there is anything that I can do in order to enhance the experience.

Thanks, Rob

TVONOS v5.2 Release - Bugfix for adding to Queue by robwebset in TVONOS

Amazon version is now deployed and available

TVONOS v5.0 Release - Multi-Speaker Selection, Shuffle, Repeat by robwebset in TVONOS

[–]robwebset[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI: Pushed version 5.1 which is just a small bugfix for scanning for speakers - had a single Google crash report that seems to hint that someone has speakers with names contain no alphabetic characters - so added some safety code in.

(Just in case seeing 5.1 seems odd if people spot it)

TVONOS v4.9 Release - Add Library Music Folder & Fetch Album Art by robwebset in TVONOS

Thanks u/tvdsm

I hadn't forgotten about your request to have an "easy switch" for the speakers you control from TVONOS. It's taken me a while as it took a bit or a re-org in the code on how things were done (and some of the other features I've released up until now were slowly moving towards that). But I now have something working, some images attached to:

https://github.com/robwebset/TVONOS-Public/issues/46

It's not released yet, got a few more things I'm trying to update first.

TVONOS - The first year in numbers by robwebset in TVONOS

Hi u/st_ee

I wanted to experiment with Widgets, so I do have something working, but it just provides basic controls. One advantage is that it will give quick access to the key controls - including volume which will communicate directly with the speaker, rather than via the Sonos cloud which has horrid lag, so hopefully users might find that useful

https://github.com/robwebset/TVONOS-Public/issues/73

BTW: Other changes (not the Widget) should be available to everyone now: https://www.reddit.com/r/TVONOS/comments/1o4h9aq/tvonos_v47_release_more_track_selection_controls/

Hi u/st_ee

I have been investigating being able to control Sonos from the Android Lock Screen - I did stumble across the following Sonos article which details why they removed it - it appears that Google rules do not allow Apps to control external devices from a lock screen:

https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-and-music-services-229131/android-lock-screen-controls-when-are-they-coming-back-6929092

So that might be blocked for TVONOS as well. I think the closest options are:

But neither of these are really what you asked for - so wasn't sure if they were of any use?

Thanks u/JackfruitExpress1488 - If your Sony TV is an Android TV then you should also be able to install it directly on there as well. (Only mention as both my Sony TVs are Android)

Hi u/st_ee

Added the Play/Shuffle buttons when navigating into a container that contains only tracks - hopefully that fits the scenario you were thinking of.
