(Feature Request) Season and Episode Number

@baa and the plexconnect devs. 

 

Would like to please request that on the info screen when playing a tvshow (info button pressed) if possible to add the Season Number and Episode Number (since the episode name is already there). Maybe before or after the episode name something like, "S01E01 Mind Games" or "Season 1, Episode 1 - Mind Games"

 

thanks for the great work on this project so far.

this function is available on mine, falcons and cyber´s versions..

not with season number though , i have it on mine ,, unsure about the others..

The info box that the aTV displays is strange in the way it handles and display the main title. If your file has no chapters then the title is displayed at the top, however if the file has chapter markers then the name of the chapter is displayed. This is just how the iOS player works and we can't change that :( I guess we'd need to write our own info box like some of the other themes have. Umm.... is it really worth it?

thanks for the reply mate!

I'd say definitely worth it as it looks a bit unclean/confusing now when in the now playing info screen. Even answering a question like what episode is playing by someone else in the room which then entails pressing stop and having to restart the episode again to find information.

First world problems but hey, it would make plexconnect better looking and usuable. :-)

wow!! nice work @stoffez I approve.

Hopefully @baa and @roidy can add your changes to the main build as your changes greatly enhance the usability of plexconnect.

Will be using your build from now on. Hopefully you keep it up to date! 

One question how come you have the episode name repeated twice in the now playing screen and shouldn't there be a comma after Season #?

hey @stoffez

the screen only comes up when pressing info twice but still wondering why you have the title twice on the same OSD?

Also can you see what I mean about adding a comma after Season #?

and I noticed that the info screen only stays up or about 3 seconds which is not long enough to scan the OSD. Can you extend it to 5 seconds or so?

thanks
