Observations after using several Leanfront client versions including
108 on Nvidia Shield TV with 29 backend:
* Some sort of progress/busy message would be welcome when refreshing
lists. With 2600 recordings and however many more videos, refreshing
takes about 30 seconds.
* Supporting in-app voice search is excellent; it's amazing how few
apps do so. I realize that you are using the existing Android
functionality, which makes other software not doing so all the more
inexplicable.
* Android keycode MEDIA_STOP does nothing. I suggest it unconditionally exits
playback.
* Similarly, perhaps have MEDIA_PLAY and MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
unconditionally start playback, as opposed to showing the "play from
start/other actions" menu?
* Once you implement the equivalent of the mainline client's DEBUGOSD,
can Android keycode INFO be used for this?
* The jellyfish 400mbps and both 140mbps tests
(<http://www.jell.yfish.us/>) all pause playback at 9-12 seconds
in. Skipping forward and back allows playback to continue. There is
no audio in the 400mbps and 140mbps h264 clips.
* The rounded MythTV logo the mainline Android client shows on opening
would be preferable for the upper right corner to the one current
used. Also as Leanfront's Android TV launcher icon, without the
diagonal skew.
* No ability to "Scan For Changes" for videos. (I realize that
Leanfront is for now meant to supplement the mainline client and is
leveraging existing Android functionality as much as possible, but
not being able to do so when "refreshing lists" does exist is
confusing.) Perhaps invoke with Android keycode MENU?
