Music library suggestions/ errors

I am running the app on a Surface Pro 4 most of the time in tablet mode…my server is a Synology NAS running Version 0.9.17.1

I would like to see lyric support added and also have a full screen mode optimised for touch only with more emphasis on album and artist art.

Also noticed clicking the … next to a track doesn’t do anything.

The background on poster music needs to be faded and not blurred…it would be nice to see a picture of my artist clearly in the background and look much better.

When browsing artists alphabetically clicking on a alphabet letter the app doesn’t scroll to the right place and loses all the listings!

Also it would be much better to use the standard windows 10 way of browsing alphabetically…when you select a letter the interface zooms out to show the whole alphabet so you can easily select a letter similar to your Windows Phone app.

The touch points currently for the alphabet are too small when its listed vertically on the side.

**Lyric support: **We have lyric support. When on the music player, click the little music bubble icon at the bottom right of the art.

… next to a track: This will only be available a) when there is a music video, and b) when in the music player and you’re able to make a PlexMix.

faded and not blurred: There has been a suggestion to make this a preference like in some of the other apps.

Letters: The app does support the jumplist you’re used to (when not filtering etc.). But we introduced a bug in a recent version which has made both that and the side alphabet not work.

touch points: You’re correct, but there is a limit to how big it can get because of the vertical screen size.

Thanks, just a suggestion that don’t go for a vertical alphabet. Better off with zooming out to full alphabet. Take a look at Microsoft Groove Music it is much easier this way.

Sometimes the lyrics button is not easy to see on light coloured album covers. Can you pick a better colour?

A few more suggestions…

ver 3.0.17 (PMS - Synology NAS ver 0.9.17.2)

I’ve fixed a bug related to that since 3.0.17-beta went out. Please let me know if the upcoming 3.0.18-beta fixes it.

great no connection errors with latest 3.0.18.

Thanks for the latest updates seems to be shaping up nicely!

Some more observations/suggestions:

  • Can you make the search bar bring back instant results as you type?
  • Transitions and loading/reflowing of artwork smoother? (quite jerky when you use the hamburger menu)

    Like Plex Web? Or are you meaning like a filter of your current view?

Like PLEX Web I guess, when I log into my PLEX Server results are instant (see screenshot)…could mean a redesign of the the search bar to the top to give enough space to provide a rich result list. Hiding the search bar in the left panel of the app doesn’t feel good especially when it is minimised under the hamburger menu.
