Requests / Bugs using firmware 2.9.5

Using the Remote 3 I found the following bugs / features (hopefully resolved in a future update):

Firmware: 2.9.5

Bugs

  • Using the Media Widget (i.e. Android TV (Nvidia Shield)) the attribute media_artist is not reset / deleted when switching to anothe app. For instance if you use the YouTube app, the media_artist attribute is filled out. But then switching to Kodi, which does not use the media_artist attribute it still displays the (former YouTube) media_artist and does not reset / delete it, so the Media Widget is displaying the wrong information.
  • Reading the remarks about IR devices (https://support.unfoldedcircle.com/hc/en-us/articles/13215168236188-Activity-groups) about renaming the power commands for an IR device: POWER_ON and POWER_OFF work when switching activities (‘remembering’ the state), POWER_TOGGLE (even automatically adding an ‘Toggle on or off …’ command) does not work.

Feature Requests

  • In settings ‘Power saving’ there is an option for ‘Wakeup sensitivity’. The description implies that more movement (setting to ‘high’) is needed to activate it less quickly, but it’s the opposite.
  • Using ‘Customize your remote’ can we get a scroll bar at the display on the right in the browser? Adding multiple groups / entities you cannot see all of them. Using the scroll wheel on your mouse does work though.
  • The page name in an activity (User interface) is not displayed on the remote; only the commands: can the name be added (else you’ll have to guess which page you’re viewing).
  • Selecting an icon: when the name of the icon is longer than being able to display (using 3 dots): can you add an (HTML) tooltip when you hover over it with the mouse so it displays its full name? Additionally also when an icon is configured elsewhere in the software (i.e. commands in an activity), please display its (full) name when hovering.

You should post this on GitHub (GitHub - unfoldedcircle/feature-and-bug-tracker: Feature and bug tracker repository for Unfolded Circle products · GitHub). There’s already a ticket for some of these issues.

On the ‘Wakeup sensitivity’ - the way it is implemented is correct. It means the ‘sensitivity’ is high i.e. less movement is needed to activate it which is correct.

If you copy (or learn as new command) the POWER_TOGGLE as POWER_ON and POWER_OFF it works.
